P THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE SUNDAY, JULY 1, SOLD ON EASY MONTHLY PAYMENTS, | NEW YORK. The Press Club’s Trip to Peter Cooper’s Land. A Rural Region with Remarkable Possibilities. Some Fresh Statistics of Emigration and Immigration. Which Are Hore Faverable fo ihe Unifed Kingdom than to the United Sfafes, - Prom Our Own Correspondent. New Yors, June 25.—It may be 2 plagiarism on some writer, or indced on seversl writers, to say that no city s moré thoroughly furnished with easily accessible and delight{ul summer re- treats and excursion points than New York; but itisafact, and a fact decidedly agrecable for one to become personally acquainted with. An hour or two on the water brings the warm and weary citizen to the ocean beach and breeze, to the hamlets of the Sound, or to the highlands of the Hudson, at his plessure. An hour or 1W0 on the rail brinzs him, if the richt direction be taken, into a country well-nigh as wild, un- cultivated. and uninbabited as was all the neigh- boring trat to beot when - Cooper’s beroes, heroines, and redskins met for dramatic action in the unsubdued forests. The right direction is that tracked out by the Midland Railrosd, and such a country lies around Greenwood Lake, much better known by the casual settler in those parts as Lonz Pond. This sheet of waser, new and fashionably named in anticipation of its future, has long been known and visited by the inquiring sports- man who wished to get out of civilization fora time and depend for livelibood on rod and gun. Its recent gain of larger notice is due to the olding of some small regattas, with the prom- 1se of larger ones, and the building of the Montdlair & Greenwood Lake Railroad, a branch of six miles in length connecting with the Mid- «and line. Of tiese two causes, which are quite out of proportion as to importance and cost, the former has proved muchthe more successful in drawing attention to the place, which shows the value of rezattas to capitalists engaged in opening up a new section. RASHNESS ALL AROUND. The officers of the Montlair & Greenwood Lake Company, by the way, had the temerity to iuvite the New York Press Club to an excursion including vighty-six miles of travel by rail, four by steamer, and a dinner at the Windenmere, Ovingtou. Not to be outdone in rashness, al- though possibly contrary to its usual practice, the Club accepted tbe invitation, and, on:e hav- ing accepted, it is not a little strange how large a portion of the members resolved to sec the thing through. The President, indeed, may for the first have learned how numerous an or- ganization he s the head of, and ‘how to ootain a prompt attendapce at roll-call. ‘What with the invited guests and the addition of Jersey editors, it was a threc-car-load company and 2 jolly one that tasted the couotry air and Greenwood Lake bass on Friday last. If some were sleepy or red-eyed on the way out, that ‘was to be expected of morning newspaper men ‘who bad been at work all night, and who chose to go to ride rather than to bed. If others were in the same condition on the way back, which nobody asserts. that was also to be expected, though for *uzrer an’ sfishnt reasons.”” Tue ‘Windermere pudding, it was remarked, had un- commonly refreslung sauce, which was served in small glasses and separately, £o that peither might interfere with the other. Then there was aluncl served ou the little steamer, alunch consisting of sandwiches and claret punch, with ‘the sandwiches left out. This was an incident- al, and full of incidents, like some of the after- dinner speeches. THE TWO HOURS' RIDE through Jersey is an almost continuous treat in the wayof scenery. The road climbs the Orange Mountain by steep grades, aud, after leaving Upper Montclair, makes its way through a re- gion s picturesque as it is unsettled. At the crossing of the Passaicis oncof the prettiest valleys and villages of Jersey. which can afferd to be laughed at 85 a foreign land 80 long as it retains its natural charms. After sharp curves and rises, dashes through narrow cuts in high rocks and across dizzy trestlework, the last Tound sweep is made. and Cooper is reached. Cooper is the present terminus of the branch, and the southern landing-point on the lake. To describe it is of little trouble, since it comsists simply of a railroad depot,~and a trim, freshly-painted little depot 1t is,—a wharf, and prospects. As a critical En- glishman once said of Washington, so of Cooper it may besmd that it is 2 piace of vast possibili- ties. At the whart was in waiting a small side- wheel steamer, just sizcableenoush to carry the company withont crowding. A stiff breeze was biowing from the north, and a breeze so cold it the demand was for great costs, the rush 1ar the cabin. ~The rush may have been partly due, also, to the fa-t that the lunch aforesaia was served and sipped therein. No question but the bracing atmosphere produced an IMMEDIATE CONSCIOUSNESS OF APPETITE, and for something uther than the charming view 1o be taken shivering on the upper deck. Green- Wwood Lake did uot merit the rhetoric bestowed upon it—lter dinner—by a veuerable Trojan itor who prides himself on his libel suits and travel, and who remarked ihat, white e had gone'from the Gulf to Greenland, and from Sam Flamcisco to Troy, he d never seen so lovely and incom};mrzbl) beauteous a svene as thai which be bad thirough the un- vivaled kindness of the gentlemanly et cotera Tust ceen, and would vainly call till” the_etars cll from their Leaveniv highuesses for Nature 10 produce biw stch another et cetera. Never- theless, it is truly a pretty little sheet of water, artisticaliv sct in an encircling chain of hills ‘wiich almost rise to the diguity of mountains, Justas truly a5 1t was & circumstance that the rojan cditor was, as Yeliowplush wouid say, and as I arieve to say. * intawsicatid.” The stewmer made good time against wind, and in t¥enty wminutes the * brain company, as it wus cubled, was landed at the Windermere Pier, at the very north end of the i Avington is a I four hone Inke. T place than Cooper,—~ . It embraces " ts did not dine but wisticd they had, a boarding-house, and 2 12x14 cottage get 10 a mosquito-patch. The settled pupulation of Avington is not large,—on the contrary extremely small,—unless the mos- gultes be reckoned i the census returns. The jonting population is—well, perhaps the figures of the fature may more fairly be waited for. The railroad has only been completed a year, and the college boys have not bad, a grand recatta on the pondas vet. 1i, when they do come, the hundreds of summer visitors prove as huugrr as the excursionists under considera- tion, the owner of the Windermere Hotel will have to forage, or move nearer Fulton Market. ‘The country proved, like the Dobrudscha, not aple to sustain the jovaders. That is, asto food. There was plenty to drink, with the lake S0 near at hand; and it was noted with pleasure that those 1n charye had the fcrethought to bot~ tle the water and have it ready for use. Noted also, as a peculiar quality of GREENWOOD LAKE WATER, that it was strung enough to lift the corks ont of the bottles as neatly as if the best Mumm were beind them. 1f the company was jolly before dinner and busv during_dinner, it was hilarious after din- ner. The first speaker, alter the compliments of the Press Club to the Railroad Cumpany and the return compliments of the Company to the Club, ivaugurated thesolemnservices by address- ing * Mr. I'resident and tellow-capitalists,” He was literally overcome by applause. There were veteran journalists present, two or three Judges, and gent:cmen well-known, like Prof. Raymond aud DuChaillu. Joln Y. Foster, who raised 2 Blaine breeze with Dis letters, a thio- taced, keen-eved, sallow-hued man, was of the speakers. Bui none so effulgent and overpow- mz 86 the clugquent 'hagu Sunday paper m none so affecting as the Pickwick of Newark. At the same time with this part of the pro- gramnme, boating and -bathing were enjoyed by those whio preferred. The lake is in most parts very shallow, and the wind sweeps it north and south most capriciously. In this regard it would have no' advantage over Saratoga as 3 TaUe-Co! and indeed is much more easily tirred. ith a length of six miles; &e aversge width is not much over a accommodstions which, at present, are not in existence at Greenwood, nor likely to be. The shores are thickly wooded, with no. favorable points of view fora finish. Of courseit is the idea of the land proprictors and railroad man to develop the 1ake region into ore of country seats, and to make Lovper and Avington sum- mer resorts. COOPER AMD GEWITT'S LAND. The land §s high, and affords splendid op- portunities for such Ideas to be carrled out, though progress must be slow. The lake lies partly in New York, purtly in Jersey. In the latrer State the land along the eastern sbore. and for many miles buck, is owned by Peler Cooper; thst on the western bv the Hou. Abram 8. Hewitt, who bhas lis - summer residence nmear by. The fact that these Jargze capitalists are the principal persous interested 1 the Gevelopment of this section is an assurance that New-Yorkers, at least, arc not much longer to rewiaio in ignorance of its beautiful and healthful character. Upper Mont- clair is alreaay rapldly growing, and recognized asone of the desirable points of residence tor metropolitans with a taste for the country. But Upper Movtclair must yield to Cooper as a site, especially 18 a site fur ice-houses. in this miving of information, it must not be forgotten that the excursionists reached home, and in time to see one of those glorious sunsets which reconcile mauy to remaining all summer in town. 1f some of the party did not know exactly how or why they ot home, their fricnds did, and the ~Bewedicts learned all the details from their = wives nest morning. While, whether there was or was not a headache fuvolved, all agreed that the day at Greenwood Lake was worthy enter- tainment, and thac if Greenwood Lake water, in_bottles, could be furnished in quantities to take the place of Croton, at Croton rates, New York would far more celebrated and less sober city; which is undoubtdely true. More- over,a majority of all Look tli¢is pensand wrote, not 15 to be hoped as the spint moved, but after it bad moved off. Tiw guests and members of the Press Club were indebted to Superiatendent Dorwin and Manazer Vernam. of the Railroad Compauy, and to Mr. Charles i1 Pulbam, Pres- ident of the Club, for the pleasure of the trip. As for tie general absauce of press men, 1 be- lieve it was hinted that lucal news was dull that duy. EMIGRATION AND INMIGRATION. Facts of much signiticance to to this country are turnished by some statistivs; just received, which have been prepared by the English Board of Trade in regard to the emigration from and immigration iuto the United Kingdom in 176, These statistics snow that more persons of Bnitish origin went from “he United States to the United Kingdor_than came from the United Kingdom hither. It is well known that the buik of our increase of population from tne United Kingdom has come from Ireland. In- deed, it is asserted that there are in this coun- try wmore persons of Irish birth and oritrin than there are in _Irelard itself. Tue emigration from Ircland, howev.r, has alinost entirely dicd out. Its annual average dunng the elsht years, 1053-1560, was 71,55%; in_the ten years, from 186010 1570, it wasud.03f. Thenfo!lowed arapid- decling, the numver falling year by year, from 65,591 in 1571 o0 16,432 in 1576; while the last figures were in all probability balanced, or near- 1y balanced, by the number of shose returning to their native lanl. The total emigraticn of 1876 from England, Svotland, and Ireland to places out of Europe was, according to these statistics, 133,232 per- sons; the total immigration was 91,647. The loss of pupulation indicated Wwas more apparent than real, for the reasou. as given, that a con- siderable proportion of the e:niwrants were for- eigners \\-{\’u lad gouve to England as the more convenient starting-point for their destination. The table which™ deals alone with persons of British origin gives the number of emigrents at 109,459, that of immigrants at 71,404, a ne: loss in population of 33.065. But if is in the statis- tics in their RELATIONSIIP TO THIS COUNTRT that we are most interested. From these it ap- cars, s _stated ahcve, that’ more people of ntish origin left our shores thsn landed upon them, although not many more, the number of outgoers being 54,697, that of incomers 54,554 An‘analysis of the occupations recorded makes 2 comparisoa between the Enclich emirrants to Australia and those to Amcrica decidedly amainst ue. For jostance, but seventy-three agricultural ladorers arc put down as * the United States,” against 3,191 who s the Australian colonies. On the other hand, 4,535 gentlemen, professional men, merchants, ete., and 10,534 persons of no oceupation came over bere, while only 1,108 of tiie first class aod 2,753 of the second went to Australia. This_scems to indicate that as resards North America the records of 1576 are those of 2 movement of passengers rather than of im- migrants. It is this very fact that possesses significance for those who watch the growth and prospects of growth of this country, It was the ¢ tide of hmmigration from the United Ringdom which contributed more largely per- haps than any other une thing to the unprece- dented advesucemeut and material development of the natiou during the last twenty or thirty years. This tide, at least so far as the people of British o are concerned, seems at present 10 be wholly _arrested. and it may be well to consider tiie causes that bave led to the chanze in favor of the mother country. Whether it was toe comuercial depression of the last few years, or the social disorzanization that ‘has prevailed so long in the Svuth, which have had most to do in the matter, are questions deserving of attention. Ou this bead the compiler of the statistics under considera- tion offer the SOMEWHAT AMUSING ADVICE that * it will ke well for citizens of the Republic to take to heart the lesson taught by the fact that for half a century the population of Svuth America has been almost comp'etely arrested, because not more than 1wo or three of the nu- merous States into which it is divided have been able to estabhish a system of government which offers any promis¢ of permanence or of power to secure social order.” and alds that the same causes are capable of seriously retard- ing the progress and growth of the United States. A further fact disclosed by these_returns, and 2 fact no dou'nt particularly gratifviug British politicians, is the aimost total cessation of emigration from Ireland, not m 3 Amecrica, but to anv plave svever. The w number of persuns of Irish orizin who emigrat- edfrom the United Kingdom to places out of Eurove was 35,9i6, and_of this number 10,432, or considerably more than one-lall. came to America. How muny of these retuined canuot be rd of the money remitted told, buta re gives some interesting daza. The tozal amount Femitted by scttlers in this country und British North America to relatives in the “United Kina- dom was tast vear only $1.623.025, about $720,- 000 less than in 1374, and less than_one-half the sum of such remittan.es in 15t On_ these statisti-s the Board of Trade bases the inference that the Irish neople do not now emierrate from the Uuited Kivgdom in_ any appreciable num- ers.

Cuicaco, June £2, 1877, GOV. HARTRANFT’S TELEGRAM. Net York Times. Yesterday morning Gov. Hartranft, of Penun- sylvania, rose somewnat subsequenttothelark’s usual hour, and after grasping the fact that he was in Providence, and Lad on ‘the previous evening attended a meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic, immediately became 2 prey to melancholy. He remembered that e hadsent a telegram to Gen. Grant, “ Care of her Majesty. Queen Victoria, Buckingham Palace, London.” and a terrible doubt as to whether taat telegram L'INcoxsc. had been properiy directed made his head ache to a most painful extent. When he directed that telegram, be wanted to make sure that it would reach the ex-President, and assuming that the latter was stopping with the Quecn, bhe had uo hesitation in sending it in care of her Majesty. It was not until yesterdsy morning that it occurred to_him that”the Queen might not be at Buckingham Palace just at present. He was not at_all disturbed by the asser- tion of one of his zides that” the Queen for he was well aware that Buckingham Palace is merely a wing added to the Tower by the late Prince Consort, What made him un- eacy was the recollection that the Queen had a country seat at Balmoral, in Scotland, where she retires when Buckingbam Palace is under- roing its annual cleaning. It, thouzht De, at this very period, Buckinghaw Palace s being scrubbed and whitewashed, and the Queen fs at Balmoral, that telegram may never rcach Gen, Grant. What is worse, that box of clgars that was forwarded last Monday, directed precisely 2s was the telegram, may 1all into the hands' of the local colured minister who whitewashes the palace, and may be smoked by that undiscrim- inating artist and his personal friends. The more Gov. Hartranft thouzht over the affair the worse his head ached, and the more clearly he saw that he bad been too husty. Ilad he direct- ed that telegram to *— Beaconsfield, £sq.,” and requested him to forward it to Gen. Grant withont delay, therc would have been no doubt that Gen. Grant would have received it. As it was, the telegram might never reach the Queen, and if it did reach ler, she, being o woman, might put it on her mantel-piece at Balmoral and entirely forget to mention it to Gen. Grant for three or four days. Gov. Hartranft groaned aloud as this last contingency vecurred to him, —That a tele- gram ichich so chastely and beautifully informed Gen, Grant that ‘*your comrades . . . du;- sire, through you to Eneland’s Qucen, to thank England for Grant’s reception,” should miscar- ry, simply because of a mistalie in the address, was a Litter thought, nnd as Gov. Hartranit rang for more sodu-water be inwardly_ resolved never to send anotber telegram after dinner. Tt is 2 pleasure as well as a_duty to relieve so excellent a man as Gov. Hartranftfrom bis pres- ent state of nainful uncertainty. Fortunately, there {5 no ditlicults in 5o doing. From sources as exclusive and as autbentic as those from which the Zeraid ubtains its war telegrams, the Times bas received a full account of the recep- tion of the Governor's telegram in England, and can assure him that it is alrcady o the ex- President’s hands. At the same time it is proper to say that had it not been for a lucky accident that telegram would never have reached its des- tination. ) At 2 o'clock on Wednesday morning the Prime Minister, who during his term of oftive always occupies’ the second-story front bed-toum Tn Buckingham Palace in order to be handy if the Queen wakes up in the night aud thinks she would like a new title, was aroused by a tre- mendous knocking at the trout door. Hastily. sprinring out of bed and opening the window, hesaw a boy inthe uniform of the Atlantic le Company standing on the front step and stling **Ruie Britanuia.” ‘To the Premier’s excited demand to knosv where the tire was, the boy colaly replicd, * Telegram foryour missus,” wiiercupun Lord Besconstield, angrily exclaii- ing *+ Holy Moses " closed the wiadow, put on his trousérs, and, descending to the door, told the boy to * huud it over.” Now, a cable tclegram costs a good deal. There was &S 45 3d due on Gov. Hartralt’s telezram, and the boy refused to deliver it without the money. Heuce it becime neces: pary to wake the Queen. The noble Earl had to iake this delicate duty upon himself, since the servauts remained invisidle, and it was with many wisgiviogs that he knocked at her Maj- esty’s duor, and after informing her that a boy was waiting with a telegram for Geun. Graat, aund that be wanted £8 4s 8d, meckly suggested that she should haod bim the money through the crack of the door. Tbe Queeun may not te a particularly irritable womao, but it was hard- cted that she would get out of izhit, aud hunt up ber purse with- aying some littie annoyaoce. In fact, she was extremely angry, and not only peremp- torily retused to reccive Gen. Grant's telegram, but informed Lord Beaconsficld that {f he ever woke ber up again in the middle of the night to ask ber to vay £91or somebody else’s telegrams, she_wonld dismiss bim without a character. “Why, even Gladstone.” added the irate Quecn, “hasn’t himperance enougzh 1o cume and "ammer at my door, and ask tor £15 or £20 at thistime of nignt.” After tuis there was nothing left for the Premier to do but to tell the boy that no person by the name of Grant lived at ihat house; ani t0 shut the door in his face. At that moment the fate of the telezram seemed sealed. The boy started to return to the affice, where it would have been indorsed *‘ Not found,” and Gov. Hartrauft would have been charged with its cost. It so happened, however, that Gen. Grant aud the Prince of Wales, wie had been attending @ meeting of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Jews, were on their way to the General’s lodgings, and. passing Buckingham Palace, met the boy descending the front steps. The” Prince stop- ped and questioned him, and, on learning that the Queen had refused to pay for a telezram, remarked to Gen. Grant that some day * moth- erwould get{nto difficalties by refusing to pay for telezrams,” and generously told the boy to Five bim the telegram and be would call and vay for it the next day. Meanwhile, Gen. Grant bad cauzht sight “of the address, and thereupon paid the boy, opened the telegram on the spot, and read it. Thus Gov. Hartranft’s telegram reached its destination, and when he reads this morniug’s Tiwnes hie will regain bis usual spirits. He is 2 £ood suldier, and a rood Governor, but it does not scew as il nature futended him to send tel- egraws to ex-Presidents in England. No man can do ail things. Gov. Hartranft onght to rec- ognize this fact, and to voncede that sendmg telezrams to Gen. Grant in care of Queen Vie- %annd is not a practice for which he is peculiarly tted. THAT BARREL OF SALT. Detrots vee Press. One of the firm who run a commission house on Woodbridge street is a man of muscle. He canlift a barrel of flour as casily as a common man lifts a bag of oats, and it scarcely makes his cars grow red as he heaves a barrel of salt into & farmer’s wazon. For weeks past he bas been boasting of his strength of muscle, and wanted to see somethiag he couldn’t lift, and the boys around the store got their heads to- gether the other day, They took a barrel of salt and filled il with oroken pig-iron, old weights, and other things, put two inches of salt at either head, and rolled it to the curb- stone; and at a favorable hour a dray backed up in the most innocent manner, and an order from agrocer fora barrel of salt was handed oat, The drayman and two of the boys fovled around the harrel ~o long that the strong man got out of his chair in disgust, threw off his coat, and said: «You fellows hal better get porous-plasters for your backs. Get out of the way aud give me a cuance!™ e seized the barrel by the chimes and lifted away. It Qidw’t move. He spit on his hands and laid out 1o pull the boops right off. Tne hoops stayed right there. 8o did the barrel. It takes four zood wen to lift'one o’ themn barrels,” sald the drayman. Nonseuse! 1've lifted a score of them, and T'l pick this up or break wy back. 1 guess the sait must be wet.” He got in position, drew .1 Jong breath, and then 'ifted till his eyes looked ike two towels lefi out on the clothes-line in a dark night. The barrel didn’t lift. Piz-iron was too much for muscle, and toe lifter eat down on the walk. His back used to be plumb up and down, bu haso’t veen siuce thae 1ift. His eyes are gett: back to their original positions, and the red is leavinz the back of his neck, and he sees two mea handie a bag of dricd apples or a busnel of beans without a word of comment.

A PRESIDENTIAL INCIDENT. Boston Journal. At Trenton, N. J., the train stopped, and the first crowd was encountered. The train had scarcely come to a stand when a little old lady in black appeared at the door of the President’s car, and though the attendantswere for keeping her out, the President, by a word, caused her to be admijted. She walked up to the Chief Ex- ecutive of the nation, and without the slightest cmbarrassment took him by the band, and with the remarik, * President, I want to shake hands with you,” shook it heartily. The Pres- ident “very good naturedly ~said, “I be- licve we've seen you before,” and explained to the bystanders that suarter-mile. Then, & large regatta requires | copstantly resides in the Tower of London. [ the old 1ady bad made her appearance at the Ohio State Bullding at the Centennial on the QOhio day last fall. - Having opencd the conver- sation in this off-hand way, the stranze visitor ranon: *Ihave brought you o cake, and I want_you to take it and eat ft, here it §s [laying a basket containing a large cake of the tablel, and you van keep the basket; and I've brought thirteen fans, because I wany every one of you to have one.” She distributed the fans among the laughiner spectators, and then, in sell-justi- fication, said, ** President, 1 want you to under- stand these things are the truth, i don’t want no office.”” This blunt declaration raised a laugh, anad the President remarked that be was glad to hear it, because she was different from most people who came to sce him. THE NEIGHBORS. Futton Times. Mr. Benson was out in his zarden on Monday daubing a cont of tar on the trunk of a cholce cherry-tree, wien his next-door nelghbor, with whom he is not on very good terms, came out and Industriously set to work nailing lath be- tween the pickets on the line fence. I Lheuzht Id fix this tree so that your dog wouldn’t b'e, able to get into it when " the’cherries are ripe,” sarcastically observed Benson, as the work wenton.
