Kev. Dr. Cahill, who is now lecturing in this country with so much eclat and success, took the pains to ascertain the amount sent to Ireland in a single year. He obtained returns from the diflRerent oflSces in this city which transmit money to that country, and found that, in the year 1859, the aggregate sum amounted to $1,350,000 — one million three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. But for this source domestic servants would scarcely be had at all, since very few of those born here will tak...e service ; they eke out a scanty living in the various employments which are dependent upon Southern purchasers to pay at all, and consider service as quite degrading. It is probably the case that this kind of work is considered far more degrading than even at the South, where it is mostly done by blacks. It is said that slavery injures free labor by degrading work ; domestic service certainly is held to be so degrading at the North that no natives will do it. The West has one-ninth of its population bom abroad, and they have arrived with funds with which they have bought land, settled it, and added to the supply of surplus produce exported.
