It is impossible to corral three thousand boobies in Indianapolis, people who eaa ho utterly deluded; and it Is equally preposterous, it seems to ns, that this man could mesmerise n crowd of that else, aad keep it up for nearly three months, remembering, too, that his mesmerism has overflowed into the other churehesjutd that all over the city ■there is this seme thief going on.

The most numerous and wealthy protestant denomination in this country is the Methodist. The statist's# for 1680 show it hss 12,006 ministers, an increase over the preceding year of 489; ^,742,922 members, an increase of 42,620. Of the ministers, 2,064 are superannuated, or otherwise nonaffective; 144 are profeosors in schools; 6# are presidents of colleges; 70 are agents In various fields of work; 31 are chaplains; 20 are editors; 12 are concerned with the publiahing houses of the church; 12 are secretaries of the various benevolent societies of the church. Subtracting these from the main body there are 10,249 xninisters preaching, being 1 to every 187 members. Fifteen ministers were expelled during the year, being 1 in 806— which is far behind the ratio of "bad ones” among the apostles, which, it will be remembered, was 1 in 12. The denomination has 17,562 churches valued at $*>4,181,306, an average of $3,631 per church. The increase in the churches during the year was 647, being at the. rate of neariy 12-3 per day. Tho increase in the value of the churches was $1,610,889, about $44,130 per day. There are 5,844 parsonages, an increase in number over the preceding year of 155. They are valued at $8,750,513. The present indebtedness on chnrch property is reported to bo $356,422. Tho amount paid on ohnrch debts daring the yesr was $717,404, and the amount raised for building and improvements was $1,194,685. Tho support of tho ministers coot $3,273,$3$, an average of $319.38 for each; which it is fair to remark is a sad ease of pinching, for an average means that some are below it We presume, however, that these figures mean only money, aad perhaps the $319 preachers get a house to live in and all their garden truck, and winter provisions. Let os hope so>. The church spent about $950,000 during the year for other purposes, as follows: For missions, $493,337; for woman’s foreign missionary society, $77,949; for chnrch extension, $87,457; for tho tract society, $12,837; for the Sunday school onion, $15,922; for freedman’s aid society, $51,867; for edneatien society, $44,280; for American bible society, $26,322; for conference claimants (worn out preachers, widows and orphans), $137,093. _______ CUBKBNT OOMTOVT.

WHY THEY C0HE,

A Talk wftk Some Immigrants at Cootie Gardea.

A Girl who Crossed the Ocean to Marry Her Lover—Finlanders who Thought the Inhabitants of America were - Black—.Immigrants who Expect to Barn More Moaey Here.

[From the New York Sun.] There has beea unusual bustle and excitement at Castle Garden lately. Thousands of immigrants have landed there, some to remain only a few hours, others several days, and those that are destitute and sick perhaps for $ month or more. "It is curious,” Captain Heinzman said, "to compare the statistics of immigration of former yean with thoee of more recent date. The Irish influx has always been very large. In 1851, for instance, 163,000 Irishmen arrived here. Since then the number has been smaller. In 1877 it was only 8,221. From that time there has been s steady increase nntil last year there were over 66,000 Irish arrivals. There have also been some remarkable fluctuations in German immigration. When France paid the enormous indemnity after the FrancoGerman war we supposed Germany would be so prosperous that the Germans would remain at home. Bat in 1872 we received over 132,000 German immigrants, or more than have ever arrived here in a single year. After that the nnmber fell off to between 20,000 and 30,000 until last year, when it suddenly went np to 104,264. I believe this year both the Irish and German arrivals will increase in number. "But the most remarkable exodus at present seems to be from Sweden. We expect at least 80,000 Swedes ever here this year: I am told that entire villages and districts hav< oecome depopulated, and this may be true, as the population is only about fonr million. Compare the number we expect this year with the 139 arrivals from Sweden in 1847. Before last year onr annual reports rarely showed more than 5,0€0 emisrants from there. In 1878 we had only 4,000, and in 1879 12,000. In 1880 the number rose suddenly to 35,000, and this year we expect more than twice as many.” "Do you find the immigrants very obstrep"Not as a rule. They are mostly respectable, obedient, and well behaved. Besides, after a sea voyage in the steerage, they haven’t enough enegy to he obstreperous.’’ There were abont 2,000 immigrants at the time in Castle Garden. It was easy to distinguish the various nationalities, for they were in separate groups, and there were striking differences in costnme. A group of Swedes was crowded into a corner near tie entrance. The men were tall and powerful, the women slim and shapely, the complexions of both florid, the hairs sandy or fair, and the eyes bine. The women were clad in closely fitting homespun suits that barely reached down to their ankles; they were heavy wooden shoes, and, with one exception, red and green scarfs over their heads. The men, and a few of the women, were standing gazing around in a bewildered manner, as though they did net know where to go, or wbat to do next. The other women were seated on boxes and handles, or on the fiftor, and resting their backs against the wall. Among the latter was the woman who did not wear the national headgear. Nor was she clad in close-fitting, coarse homespun, like the rest. Her Bead was covered with a plain black bonnet, and her sacque and tkiri looked as though they might have been purchased hers. Her face was‘buried in her hands, and she waa weeping bitterly. "She’s Arne Bjornsen,” said one of the men, "and she’s come from Hnssaby, near Wfiio. Not one of her family is with her, bet we are all her friends, and she needn’t cry so. We wouldn’t let any harm come to her.” As the girl beard her name mentioned she looked up through her tears at the speaker. Her features were very finely chiselled, and her blue eyes were shadowed by the light curls that clustered over her forehead. "She’s without her family becanse she ran away from them. She'd asked them again and again to let her follow Balf Christiansen, out they wouldn’t let her go. We left Hnssaby a few weeks ago, and the fiyst thing we knew when the steamer was under way, Arne popped np among us. She aad Balf had been children together, and when they grew up he wanted to marry her. But old Bjornsen is well-to-do as things go with os, and as Ball hadn’t a farm of his own,Bjornsen wouldn’t listen to his proposal. So abont two years ago Balf came out here to seek his fortune. He’s been writing to Arne that he’s been getting on nicely, and has been wanting her to come out and marry him, and she’s answered all his letters. He sent her the pretty clothes she’s got on now. She tells us that when we all began speaking of coming to America she wrote to him and told him she was coming with ns. and he answered, saying that he would be here in New York waiting for her. Bat we’ve been here since yesterday a$d he hasn’t come, and that’s why poor Arne’s crying so. I think the place where he lives is called Iowa. We came over becanse vre beard be was retting along weH. All the land in our neignborhood is owned by a few rich peasants, and we have to do day's work for very small wages. We beard that Balf hadn’t been here half a year before be got a farm, so we thought we might as well come over, go to Iowa, and get a farm, too.” "Were you the only ones to leave your village?” the reporter asked. ‘The only ones from Hnssaby,” he re-

there this year. They have the same reasons as we. They don’t get paid well, they get litters from mends over here saying that they are coming on nicely, getting land and money, and they don’t see why they shouldn't follow them and get along as well. We’re brought np to work, and we’re healthy and strong. Why should we stay at home and be poor all onr lives when we have a chance to get rich here? Then, too, the military laws are becoming too strict, and we want to escape those.” The reporter had turned away, and was talking to one of the officials when the clerk who announces the names of the immigrants for whom friends are waiting ontside, called out "Arne Bjornsen.” A moment later and the Swedish girl and her friends were hurrying toward the door. Arne’s curls fluttered, she ran so quickly. Behind the rope outside a big handsome young fellow with tight eurls tike her own. holding oat his arms. She flew towarl him, and in‘a moment her bead rested on his shoulder, while she eobbed with jay, and his large, honest blue eyes looked tenderly down on her. A few hoars afterward, as the reporter was walking away from Castle Garden, be saw the Swedes, with Balf aad Arne in their midst, emerging from a Swedish tavern and wending their way toward one of the railroad depots. They all seemed in the best of spirits, and the next time eld Bjornsen hears from Arne she will be the wife of Balf Christiansen, in Iowa. When the reporter’s talk with the Swedes in Castle Garden was over his attention was cglled to a dozen or moca Bohemians who were just entering. The men were assisting each other to carry several gray chests, while the women balanced large bandies on their heads. One woman not only carried a bond)#, bat also had a babe tied to her back. They had passed a (broad sash around her shonldors, and into the sash the babe had pnt its legs, while its arms were passed aronnd its mother’s neck. When the mother got tired of the harden ot her back she shifted the child and the sthrf to the side or front The women wore their yellow or purple sacqnes and striped skirt* reachfug only a little below the knee. They had long alack stockings •$d their wooden shoes clattered with eVery step. Like the Swedish girls, they had covered their heads with variegated ’kerchiefs. The men had tight sacques and breeches, high top boots, and curious hats

trimmed With wold tassel#, lank man walked a tittle The man told the reporter £

A verr tall,

in advance

he reporter that his Same

was Swatonluk, and that he came from the neighborhood of Catharineberg: He was the oldest of the ffcrty. which was made ap of his children and their families. Hts people bad iol several generations been skillful in making laoe by band. In hifc younger days he had made s good living that way, and he had taught laoe making to bis children.-.The family made as fine lace as conld be bought in Catharineberg. Bat some years ago manufactories oflace were Marled and machine-made lace began to be sold. Of coarse, he and his family made less money. He had heard of America, snd as* he became poorer he thought be might come over and make handTace here. He did not snppoce there

were any factories hers.

He opened one of the tranks and showed the reporter some very delicate lace work. "It’s veiy easy to get rich here, isn’t it?” be asked. "Whenever I’ve heard people talk of America they’ve said so. I hope soon to be able to go back to Bohmen. I’ll build a house in Catharineberg.” When asked if he or any of his family spoke English, he replied: "Why, no! Don’t they talk Bohemian here?” and he waa very much surprised when he was told that Bohemian was not a universal language. He and his relatives were in no harry to get away from Castle Garden, and they had not thought of going to any particular place. They started from Europe expecting to make their fortune wherever the steamship landed them. They had been very much surprised when coming up the bay to find that New York looked larger than Catharineberg. "Most of the Bohemians that come over here,” one of the officials said, "haven’t any idea about the country. They have been making lace, blowing glass or working in woolen mills. They’re a lazy Mi, and they come over here becanse they expect to get rich without having to work. Moat ot them lie aronnd the city a couple of months, and then they come here and apply for a passage home.” But the most benighted persons were found in a partywf Finns, almost the first who have come to this country. Their costumes were so curious that even the officials stopped to look at them. The men wore hats that looked like beavers with half the crown cut off. Tight-fitting sacqnes with flat brass buttons, reached down to the middle of the cheat, where they were met by close-fitting breaches, with yellow stripes running down the sides. The striped skirts of the women were shorter ev< n than those worn by the Bohemians, and the long stockings were of bright red, mixed with blue. Their shoes were of leather, bat had heavy wooden soles. Each wbre a stiff black bodice. Above it and running balf way down the arms was a white shirt, open at the back and with pnffed sleeves. The costnme was decorated with ribbons of various colors. They looked around in amazement, They told the reporter that they were much surprised not to have seen any blacx people or Indians. They had supposed that most of the inhabitants were colored, and that tl.^ Indians roamed th rough the streets of New York. They came to America because they bad read abont it, and had a vague idea that they could live here better than in Finland. They came from the northern part of the country, and had been in Castle Gftrden for two days. They had been surprised when it became dark. They said that at this time of the year the aan was above the horizon in Finland; in December it disappeared, and did not rise again nntil the middle of January. They seemed delighted when told that there was no "long

night” here. They had not made np their minds where to settle, but said that they were willing to do almost any kind of work

to make a living. They wanted, however,

to get where it is cool.

Tne Germans have come here on account of high taxes, to escape the. severe tuSlitary laws or for other political reasons. The majority were well informed abont the country, as they had heard abont it from friends or relatives who had preceded them, or read of it in books. There was, however, an old couple from the Black Forest, who had been sent for by their sod. At the same time he had sent them passage money and given them directions to boy railroad tickets. They were afraid it would be a waste of money to go by rail. They were accustomed to walk, they said, a*d they might get an occasional lift. When asked how they expected to find the way, they said that they had supposed they would find plenty of sign boards such as

they had at home.

"Do yon know my son?’ the old woman asked. "His name is Frans, and he keeps

the town tavern.

She was neatly disappointed because the reporter had not heard of Franz, who kept the town tavern in Chicago. “There’s a lot of wild Irishmen over there who may answer you,” a gentleman said. "They make more noise than an amateur class on the trombone, but they’re quite harmless.” About a score of them were shouting into etch other’s ears and gesticulating wildly in one corner, and casting heavy denunciations on the bead of a mild and harmless working man who dispensed disheartened beer, black bread and mottled sausage with the air of one who had been buffeted

aftd awkward in every movement They were dressed more in accordance with the prevailing style in this country than the others clustered around them, and manifested an air of snperioritv over them «hich was largely born of the ability to speak the English language—with an accent, however. The men wore collarless shirts, baggy and wrinkled black coats, tight trousers that were toobhort by from three to five inches, and eolossal shoes tied with rough cord. They spoka in husky voices and emphasised every word with forcible gestures. The women wore boanets that had been banged about nntil they were nearly shapeless, and cotton gloves that gave great prominence to the swollen red bands and muscular wrists that they were meant to conceal. There were several old women among them, who rocked themselves back and forth and kept up a muttering accompaniment to the storm of abuse that the others were pouring on the head of the victim behind the lunch counter. "What’s the matter?” the reporter aaked of a brawny fellow who held a lump of German pumpernickel (black bread) in one hand and thumped it savagely with the bottom of a beer bottle. "Fbat’s the matter? Lnk what he give me! He calls it bread, the dongh faced Turk. All I can get for me money is this here beer and chunks of black staff as hard os rocks and as black as yer hat, which he calls bread. Luk at the ould woman tryin’ to drink beerl She don’t know what it is. hivin’ never had nothin’ but whisky, ana is takin’ it in little drops far fear it will hart her. I have intimate relatives who are connected with the Tenth ward in this city, an’ I expected them to meet ns here; but they don’t show up, an’ I’m nearly sUiived far decent food. By the mother of Mary, that steerage was awful. We was jammed in tike so many animals and fed three times a day as if we was wild beasts. The Irish laboring people are not so very bad off far want of food as they have been and the most of them kin make enough to eat if they’re willin’ to work all their lives fnr a landlord and give up thoughts of themselves. Now, our party came from Shanagerry, where we’ve been treated quite decent since the famine time; but yer see the money that America sent us at that time sort ot taught a lesson not to be forgotten. “Fur,” says he, “if America can send us thousands of pans, why can’t we go there and make them thousands of puns and keep them oursels?, sez we, an’ so we saved up and sold out and cum over here only to be misnsed and given food such as one never had before by that grinnin’ ape behind the bar.”

His wife and his daughter (the latter grown to be a young lady) entered. He raised his eyes from his plate and said, "Ye’ve got here at last, hev ye?’ and continued his meal. Two years later the woman disappeared from that home. The other day the mother was fourth in a San Francisco walking match,credited with398 miles, and the uanghter, forsaken by a lover, tried to drown herself, was confined in Oakland while laboring under temporary insanity, and is now in the care of her mother.

It was rumored before the appointment was made that certain prominent republicans in this city were opposed to it and it may be inferred from the remark of the p. p. that their efforts to defeat Mr. Kahlo may yet be suc-

cessful.

Logan for President. [Washington special Chicago Journal.1 General Logan steers clear of breakers. It is understood in well posted political circles here tbst he aspires to the presdeotial nomination in 1884. His friends talk it out boldly, and they evidently mean it. Stranger things have happened than would be a falling out by-and by between Logan sod the Grant third-termers. Lena is not tie man to be made a tool of for other’s ules. He is lust as shrewd a politician as Conkling, ana much more discreet.
