THE CENSUS OF VIRGINIA.

The popuiation of Virginia, under the new CEN
aus. has been ascertaiued TO be 1921 44l. Or
these, 7358l2 are whites 40 ,425 free coored, and
+47 ,2O7 slaves. The total increase in the who,e
State is 20,5l7. The Federal population OF the
State is l043,560. IT, therefore. tho ratio OF re-
preventative population is fixed as high as sixty
thousand, Virginia will lose four members OF Con-
sress She il now entitled to tsenty.one represen-
istives In that case. she will have but seventeen.
Whatever may be the ratio, the proPortionate
strength of the Old Dominion will be very much
weakened, under the sPportionment IN point
Of power. The States of Georgia, Kentucky. Ten
nes.ee, Massachusetts and Indiana, are each her
rivals in strength, in white inhabitants-they are
ell par with her, while Ohio has shot very tar
ahead.
That in the whole State of Virginia, with terri
cory the largest Of any State in the Union there
should not have been so large an increase by one
third during ten years, as has taken place IN the
city of Boston. is striking proof that there must
be radical defect somewhere. Whilst all around
have been rapidly increasing in wealth and poPu'
lation. Virginia, with natural facilities for an I'M
meuse growth, unsurpassed in this respect by any
State, has hardly held its own II is not for US to
attempt to investigate the causes which hsve con-
trbuted TO weigh down the earth the giant ener-
gies of the Old Dominion We might, in so doing,
trespass upon forbidden grounds. IL is, however,
q subject that earnestly demands the attention, not
only of the statesmen of Virginia, but of the entire
South. Unless they willing to submit. without
any effort to prevent it, the Southern States must,
az the country increases in population, form con-
stanty decreasing portion of the Union in popuIa-
ZION and rover. Under the new census, their pro-
por,ionae repre- sentston is greatly diminished and
we're it not for allowing ,he slave population 10 he
estimated in the Federal population, the entire
slave holding part Of the Union would be balanced
by the single State Of New York.

EXTRAORDINARY RECOGNITION.

A most singular and extraordinary incident took
place in this city last week. Two brothers have
been living for twenty years within hundred yards
of each other in eghborng streets, and the con-
ssnguinitv was never known until a most TRIVIAL
accident few days ago developed the story The
particulars are of two remarkable nature to es'
care publicity, although the names we must with
hold The brothers we're born in Paris, and we're
orphans at so early an age as to have no recol-
lection of their parents. While yet children. an
accidental explosion of sunpowder, with which
thew were playing, marked an indellbe scar on the
cheek Of one and rendered useless for life the hnger
of the other. They we're separated while still in
fan,s and taken care of by strsngers--one alter
wards followed the sea as cabin'boy Tor many
years, the other remained apprentice in Paris.
The cabu.boy when fifteen years old found himself
in this city, and obtaining employment more TO his
fancy than rowing the waves, lie abandoned salt wa
ter and applied himself to another pursuit. Even
al this time his brother was residing in the neigh
borhood and they became acquainted and have
csnyersed with each other daily almost from then
ill now. Both were industrious and have gradu-
ally improved their condition in life, until now they
are surrounded by the comfortable rewards OF thrift
Each remembered the accident which occurred
during childhood, and knew that no had then
brother. but this was all.
The other evening one Of the brothers collected
circle of friends to witness the christening OF his
first q andchild and his old familiar neighbor round
tho corner was among the guests. Accident brought
the mu,ilsted finger into notice, and the history OF
it was of course told, when the delight and surprise
of the whole party may be imagined at the old
neighbor abruptly giving the history Of the scar on
his cheek and claiming his lost brothei- Each had
retained the original family name, but 1t had been
so altered in spelling that neither never detected
the similarity. There quite dramatic denou-
ment when the old friends mutually explained, be-
came convinced Of the relationship, and rushed into
each others arms as brothers. IN. o. Picayune.
