THE SHILLING EMIGRANT

The London correspondent of an ex change writes that a sod- ty is being formed in London, of which the Luke of Manchester is patron, and Meters Fieshfield, the solicitors to the Bank of England, are the legal advisers, entitled the Emigrants’ Self-supporting Emigra tion Society, Limited. The obj cts of f.hia society, which is to ba es sb’iabed upon strict y commercial principles, ate declared to' ba to L-ciliate emigration amongst the industrial c’assee, to secure them practically a free pas age to the colonies no< n prescribed conditions by their own independent eff its without the aid of charity ; alto to acquire, cu'tivate, and deal in land, colonise tt.e same, ere t« townships and settlements, net as farmers, agriculturists dealers in agrcnltnral pro. duce. cattle breeders, general merchants. manu c actarerß and traders ; and lastly, to apprentice, ecuc-te, arrd instruct in any calling boys or g rls for thß_ purpose of emigration or otherwise. Tbisisatole'ablv ambitious piogramme, and probably it wM be sufficient if I confine myself to an exp'anation of hew it s proposed to work the first part thereof. The company will Start with a capital of one m-Ilion ft-r ---llng, of which one half w )1 be called up at tirtt. This £500.000 will be raised br ibe issue of 25 0 0 preferred shares of £lO each, and of 5 000 0; 0 share certfka es of 1* each with emigrants coupons attached These shilling share certificates are in tended to be taken up by the working classes and tl ose from whose emigrants are chit fly drawn. To each shilling share certificate will be attached an emigrant’s priority coupon, and there will be perio dical ballots amongst the holders of these coupons. Those who are successful in these ballets will te conveyed to the colonies free of expense, and on arriving at the colony will be placed upon a plot of land and provided with agricultural Implements and food sufficient for a certain number of days. Before starting (or the colonies each emigrant will be required to enter into a written contract engaging himself to the society and agree log to repay to the same the cost of h « passage, and also a certain annual rent for hia holding- The contract will have to be re-signed when he arrives in the colony. The operations of the company will be at first confined to New Zealand and Aus tralia, though other colonies will be dealt withal '-i spL.r of the society’s enter prise widens. They will acquire blocks of land, which will ba divided into plots of 20 acres each. TTpon one of those plots the newly-arrived emigrant will i e placed, and be provided with tools and provisions lor half-a-year. Taking the value of produce at the prices quoted in the New Zealand Herald of March 29, 1886, the company estimate that the yearly yield of 20 acres of land would be £123 4s 2d. Out cf this the emigrant would have to repay to the company £3B 16a 2d, which is the cost of hia passage outwards, food, oth r expenses and interest on the same, to gether with £5 for the rent of his holding. These two sums deducted from £123 4s 2d will leave him with £79 81 for subsistence and further operations The capitalised value ot each of these 20 acre plots is si t down at £2OO, and by paying a yeatly rental of £5 for eight years the tenant will become the proprietor of hrs holding. Theccmpany estimate that IC.OOO emi grants nra? be equip; ed, shipped, catered for, and fairly started and supplied with seeds, implements, machinery, temporary dwellings, rations, Ac., and well estab lished in New Zealand, Australia, or else where wittiin three yea's, and that the shareholders would receive 6 per cent, upon their capital for that period The scheme as sketched out by the company certainly looks very feasible. The emi grants priority conp< ns are presumably intended merely to give an air and novelty to the plan. What the company in effect proposes to do Is to transplant emigrants to the colonies, keep them until they can snp port themselves, and then obtain repa • ment of the money expended upon them, and allow them to purchase their holdings by easy payments In other words, it is an undertaking something like the oid New Zealand Company. As far as can at present be seen the company, h»e a fair chance of success Applications for shares are said to be coming in freely, and the names t.f the provisional board of directors are such as to Inspire c< nfidence. These gentlemen are Sir Aitwell King Lake, Bart, Mr Bobert J. Banning, Mr John Btnnett. (formerly of Goulbonrn and Gippsland, Victor!*), Bear-admiral Brocket, Mr D. B£a, and Mr Charles J. Nastryitb. It is to be presumed that the promoters of the Company have in a general way satisfied themselves as to the countenance of the colonial governments being given to their scheme ; otherwise, of course, it cannot be expected to work well. It is stated that a fine block of land has been offered them-ln New Zealand to pommenca operations upon,

THE ROMANCE OF WAGON WHEEL

[Evening Standard, Sepiember 14th.]

Idaho Territory lies very far west in deed, and there is an alarming scarcity ■ here of women. This has been ou'lously illustrated cf late in the Town of Wagon Wheel, Recently two young ladies tra velled to that remote region to attend to •heir dying brother. The poor fellow did not long require their and imme diately after his death the sisters prepared to return home. Before, however, they could get away, nearly tha whole male population of the town—headed by the Mayor and other high officials—were making matiimonial overtures to them. Feeling ran very high during five or six anxious days, ard the Mayor’s chai ces, despite hir mature years, ruled thejhetting at 6 to 1. At ; the end of the week both young ladies had capitulated and were duly engaged. Toe Mayor war, however, cut out by a handsome young miner. The wedding day was fixed, and the mother of the young ladles was summered upi n the some, bhe duly arrived, and was hotly indignant with her daughters for tha scant re?pect which they had manifested towards cheir b-olher’s memory by such Indecent hss'e to wed. The gula explained that • hey had literally been besieged, and had yielded to the overwhe’mlng force of dr enmatances. As usual, explanations in creased the offence, and the mother vowed that neither of them should be married oat there at all—that, in fact, the engage ments were “ off” and that they runs - - ba off too. The cop of felicity was thus rudely dashed from the Hus of the two accepted men, and they made haste to tell their sorrows to the t»wu. An Inclina tion meeting w?.b held, and the Mayor ap p inted a Committee to wait upon the irate matron in order to ask her to recon sider her resolution. The Mayor—with rare magnanimity, cons'dering the cruel blow his own hopes had jus’ received — placed himself at the head of the deputa tion, and in the name of patriotism humoly implored the good lady to grant the peti tion which he ardently urged. She, how ever, stood firmly on her parental rights, and declared she would not leave the town without her daughters. Then the genius of the Mayor shone forth like the son. He blandly proposed a compromise Why need she leave at all ? He drew her at tention, of course in more delicate terms, to the fact that she was fair, fat, and fifty odd, and th«t similar language might be tiken as descriptive of himself. There and then he offered her bis hand and heart, and the young ladies a kind father and protector. That settled the matter, and three marriages have just come off with a great flourish of trumpets at Wagon Wheel.
