NEW SOURCE OP IMMIGRA TION: Henry Villard's Efforts to Secure Im migrants from Scandinavia to Vork ana Settle Along the Line of the Northern Pacific Railroad. The great activity of railroad building in the North and South and West has created an unprece dented demand for laborers, and one which the different railroad manarrfirs nr aoid tr. 1, ... .-. i O ..." w .nj JUk iu their wits' end to" supply. Perma nent agents of three overland rail roads under construction aie said to be in China charged with the business of procuring all the un skilled laborers possible and ship ping thern to their points of desti nation on the Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Canada-Pacific or other lines in process of con struction connected with either. The public will not be sorry to hear that their efforts in this con nection are not now very success ful. It is said " to be difficult at the present time to get Chinamen to come to this coast in anything! like the number needed, yet each steamer brings close upon 1,000 each trip. Henry Villard, of the Northern Pacific, has now turned his attention in another and much more desirable direction, and is taking steps for the transfer to this country of as many as 5,000 Scan dinavians, or even 10,000 if they can be induced t.o come. To this end he has enlisted the services of Charles A. Henry, at present re siding in Oakland, and a former editor and proprietor of the Yalk grien, a Scandinavian paper pub lished in this city. Sir. Henr', who is a Dane by birth, has al ready been largely concerned in the transportation and organiza tion of colonics of Scandinavians from Sweden, Norway and Den mark. These colonies are chiefly .located in Wisconsin and Minne sota, and number over 11,000. Mr, Henry says that in some counties in Wisconsin the whole population and county government are ex clusively Scandinavian, and these immigrants do remarkably well. Mr.Henry has also been concerned in the organization of some colo nies in Fresno county, especially the Scandinavian colony and the Home colony, both of which have been quite successful. He ex pects to leave in about six weeks for Europe to bring over the first -installment of immigrants, proba bly about 500 in number. The probable plan of operations will be to charter a special steamer for the immigrants which will take them direct to the Isthmus of Panama, where they will be met by a steamer on this side and carried to their destination without calling at any port. Th object of this is to prevent the possible disbandment and dispersion of the immigrants before they reaoh tho point where Villard needs them. The company will advance, when necessary, a part of the passage money. There is also soma idea of bringing the immigrants to New Orleans and to this coast over" the new overland road at special rates. The work for which they aro required is sit uated in Montana and Washington Territories and the State of Ore gon, and every effort will be made to induce thes"c hardy immigrants to settle along the line of the rail road. S. F. Bulletin. THE UNINVITED GUEST. Some years ago, when John McCullough was in New Orleans, a complimentary dinner was given himr to which Robson and Crane, , nmpdinns. wore invited. Eob- son tells the following story of an iqcident .which eccurred: "It was a veryprivate affair, so that when I saw, sitting between Crane and myself, a very seedy looking old gentleman, my atten tion was arrested, and I began to eye the old chap with suspicion. By and by he began to attract the I attention of the company. He was a man oi, say. sixty or there about, unshaven and very shabbily dressed. The night outside va3 bitterly cold, and yet the old fel low wore a thin summer coat hut toned up to the throat! What first drew my attention to him was his appeawnce, and after that his appetite. He ate voraciously, and his drinking kept pacp with his eating. Again and again did Crane and I replenish his plate and fill h: glass, and again and again wet e "they emptied. I con fess that a barbarous bcnse of the humor of the thing came over me, and I ga e way to it. From my 'pride of place' I deliberately plied the ancient mariner with wine, and made a point of inviting the attention of the whole table to I him. They all went into the joke and insisted, one after another, upon drinking wine with 'the old man.' The idea, of course, was to get him tipsy, but here we all failed, for the old gentleman had a head as hard as Socrates, and, moreover, seemed to know when he had enough. The quiet whis per and nudge was going round the festive board5 'Who's our friend? Who bi ought him in?' etc. But it was quickly sup pressed, for at last, with quiet dignity, but firm courage, he de clined to drink any more, mid no entreaty could move him from his resolution. None of our party seemed to know hinr, so we con cluded that he was a poor relation or acquaintance of some of the givers of the banquet, who had quietly run him in for a go6 1 feed. In the meantime hpeeches were made, toasts were drunk, and a slhjhtlv inebriated individual suns: eut: "Say, mine ancient friend, won't you give us a speech? Some thing about Shakspeare, you know he's the fellow.' "Nobody, of courbe, imagined that the old man would have the nerve to get up and say anything, but he did. Well, sir, in the course of my experience I have heard a great many clever people talk about the immortal bard, but on this occasion I heard in fifteen minutes the most intelligent ex position of Shakspeare's genius that it has ever been- my fortune to listen to. And the whole thine j WM done SQ Rnd whh such i an entire absence of effort, that it was not until he had finished that wo all began to realize that we had been under the spell of a pro found critic aud an accomplished orator. And those who came to scoff remained to pray. John Mc Cullough rushed over and grasped his hand enthusiastically, and thanked him for the honor of his presence, and begged his name that the company "might know to whom thoy were indebted. For tho first time the old man seemed to lose his self-posspssion. He articulated a few words, but it was plain that his emotions were get ting the better of him. Crane filled him up a glass of wine, and the old man drank it, and after a little pause, rose slowly and with difficulty. His manner had been changed. He no longer looked the keen critic and fluent orator, but a weak, infirm old man, who in spite of every disadvantage of appearance, still retained a certain dignity, an elusive but unmistaka ble somothiug that pronounced him to be a gentleman. "Said a friend to me, as the old man got upon his feet, 'Bob, this don't look like art, this is nature.' 'Gentlemen,' said the unknown, in a voice tremulous and full of pathos, 'I owe an apology to you all. I have no excuse to offer for having intruded Jupon your festiv ity, but 1 can at least make the amend of confessieg that I am no intruder. 1 came to this house this evening on the invitation of a man I once knew, and I stumbled by accident into your banquet. I came here hungry and cold (and T thought I coultL hear the wind whistling outside as he intoned rather than pronounced the words 'hungry and cold') and I could not resist the temptation. I wanted to eat aud drink and get warm.' "And the old man's ej-cs dropped on the tablo, as if overpowered with a sens of his degradation. '"'I know this is shameful,' he continued, 'but physical weakness sometimes begets mental weakness, and I have eaten nothing for three days. For three weeks past I have not slept in a bed, but stole a rest in doorways or in a chair in the office of some hotel. Some times I have walked the streets till daylight. Such things, gentlemen, tell heavily upon a man of my age. Otherwise no man with a remnant of pride left could have acted as I have done to-night. But I thank God I have at least letained cour ago enough to tell the truth. And now, gentlemen,' said the brave old man, straightening up with wonderful dignity of manner, 'ac cept my gratitude for what I have received. I have eaten and drank with you, and am refreshed and grateful. I trust you will pardon my infringementof hospitality and common, honesty and permit mo to depart.' " The dinner party immediately raised a purse of sixty-eight dol lars for their needy friend. Rob son will not tell his name, but says that twenty-five years ago he was a Congressman from Ohio, and ho was once a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United Statos. Room Enough for All. Sonie people aro afraid that the world in a short time will be too small to hold all the people there will bo in it. Perhaps the follow ing calculation, prepared especially for their benefit, will quiet their fears. If San Francisco bay were frozen over, overy man, woman aud child on tho faco of the earth could find standing room on it at one and the samo time. There would be no crowding or crushing for each person would have a little; over fivo feet square of room to him or herself, quite sufficient to enjoy a comfortable quadrille and almost enough to indulgo in a skating party. The population of the world is estimated in round numbers to be 1,430,000,000. The superficial area of tho bay of San Francisco, is 2G7 square miles, equal to 7,104,548,000 square feet. This would allow of overlive feet of standing room to be allotted to each man, woman and child now living on tho earth. Another peculiar faot, as show ing the small amount of space oc cupied by tho human family, is that if the ice were to break and they were all to fall in, they would not raise the level of the water in tho bay more than l)ve inches.
