E6y- From the reports Of twenty railroads
in New York it appears that the number Of
persons carried over these roads. during 1888
was STA. 364. twenty-five per cent Of the
population Of the United States. These pas
sengers travelled an aggregate number OIL
299. 2S2, 2SS miles. Of this mighty multi
tude, 1877 were killed, and 200 persons were
injured with vehicles at road crossings, 81
by being run over. Of these the dead and
wounded. IA persisted by voluntarily jumping
off Of trains while in motion. 10 by collision

Esg-The Pacific has arrived with %intelli-
genee to the 3lst Of May. Tho new is not
Of much Importance. The taking of the for
tress Of Gustaysvarn by Sir Charles Napier's
squadron, proves to have been premature, as
nothing more was accomplished than the de
struction Of the detached forts at Hango.-
The latest advices from the Baltic state that
Gustavsvarn was bombardcd on :he 22nd Of
May by the allied fleets, but without Effect,
and that the attact would be resumed on the
oath. Considerable alarm 10 felt at St. Pc.
tersburg, and great preparations are making
for the defence of the city. 1t is also reported
that a large portion of the City Of Riga has
been leveled to the ground, in anticipation of
an attack. The importance Of securing the
CO. operation of Sweden, as a basis for more
extended operations against Russia, appears
to be fully appreciated by the allied powers,
and active negotiations are now going on be-
tween London and Stockholm.
From the Black Sea, we have a couGrma-
ton of the abandonment by Russia of her forts
on the Circassian coast, with the exception Of
Redout kalch, and q rnmor of the lombard
ment Of kaifa, in the Grimea, but nothing of
any interest from Seyastopoll and Odessa
Rillistria has not yet fallen but was CLOSELY
invested by the Russians. and its downfall
was generally anticipated. The statement
of the loses suffered by the besiegers in theil
receut attacks on tho fortress, is evidently
exaggerated. The allied armies have not vel
lett theiI camps, although Marshal st. ArnauC
and Lord Ragland had gone to Varna to con.
fer with 0mer Pasha.
M accommodation IN E,:r,. IL u1.--n
appears to be almost wholly subdued, and th,
Government of Greece is rapidly yielding t,
.he outside pressure which is brought to bea
upon it. 1t is stated that King Ohio, alarmed
by the declared intention of tie allies to sen,
troops to Athens, has accepted the Angl,
French ultimatum. At the same time Mich,
olas presents to him an armed corvette ant
brig. Lord John Russell stated in Parlia
ment that Franco had sent a body Of six thou
: sand troops to occupy the Pir@us. aud TIA
, they would be supported BY an Epglish force
, The avowed intention Of the allies, however
was not to declare war against Greece, but I,
prevent her from becoming the open or secre
l ally of Russia.
The Germanic Confederation bad given i
, its adhesion to the Austria- Prussian treaty
as was anticipated. The feeling hostility /,

BEy-The Bait. Clipper. q Native American
paper, 10 denying the charge that the Know
Nothings have att ached themselves to the
Wing party, says:
The late charter election in Annapolis
resulted 10 the choice of a gentleman for
Mayor who was formerly a Whig-a major
ity Of the City Councils who we're known as
democrats. Had the Know Nothiugs acted
solely with the wings, the whole wing ticket
would have been chosen. In Westminster,
the Mayor elect, Frank Shriver, Esq, and a
majority of the Council, were democrats
In Washington, it is true tho Mayor elect,
Mr.. Towers, was formerly a whig--and equal
ly true that sixteen out of the thirty mem
bers of the city councils were democrats. In
view of the above facts. we submit that any
man who will hereafter assert hat the Know
Nothing party. (if there be such a party,) is
the wing party in Disguise" will utter a
foul calumuy."

POSTAGE.

On Friday last, in the House Of Representa-
tiyes a bill to increase the rates of postage was
considered and discussed at some length by the
chairman of the Post eiiice Committee, Mr.. olds,
who had reported a substitute abolishing the
franking privilege, requiring public letters to be
charged to the Treasury, and increasing the pos.
tage on letters conveyed over three thousand
miles, &c. The House first struck out so much
Of the substitute as abolished the ranking priv
ilege, and then rejected it altogether. The orig
inal bill was finally laid upon the table by a
vote of "a to 81. So the hostages are to remain
untouched.

COMPANY FOR NEBRASKA.

The Carroltonian says. a number Of our
young men contemplate the formation Of a
company for the purpose Of emigrating to
Nebraska Territory as soon as the necessary
arrangements can DO made. Several Of the
different Professions are included, and from
the zea al manifested by the projectors we are
almost induced to believe they are in dead

SILVER CHANGE TO VIRGINIA.

We understand that within the last week
some $500. 900 in United States silver coin.
OF al denominations, have gone to the State
Of Virginia from the Treasury of the United
States in this city. $4,000 was sent to Rich
mond on a transfer draft. and $4,000 to
Norfolk in the same way To Alexandria
$4,000 went in exchange for United States
gold. This change has been sent into that
State with the laudable view Of aiding. as far
as the law will allow the commencement Of the
operation of Virgiuia'a small note law, passed
at tbs recent session ofher Legislature. The
promptness with which the Secretary of the
Treasury has responded to tho calls on bin
from that State, to aid thus in preventing the
initiation Of the new laws opcretion from Sc.
riously embarrassing the community, is dc.
serving Of their thanks indeed. - Washing.

from California are of highly encouraging
character. The indictment. arrest and bold
ing to heavy bail the French Consul at San
Francisco, Mr.. Dillon, are confirmed. The
charges against him, growing out Of his sup
posed participation in the expedition of Do
Vale, the Mexican Consul, seem scarcely to
justify this proceeding. 1t is condemned BY
several Of the leading journals in San Fran
cisco as involving future difficulty With the
French Government, and wounding the sensi-
bilities of the French population Of the State.

Anybody. Child.

Anyoody's child is sad little being. You
find him playing at marbles III a city alley
His feet are bare, his clothes are ragged, his
voice is hard and cracked, his hair is matted
down over his eyes, his hands are thin and
angular, his knees protrude through his torn
trousers, and those rags are kept on by piece
of cord that passes over his left shoulder
How keen are the eyes that leer out at you
from under that hair-thatched brow! They
read you off in minute. Anybody's child
can tell, at glance Of those sharp eyes,
whether you have anything or nothing IN your
pocket; whether your heart is har'l or soft;
whether you are parish officer or a detective
policeman. You may deceive casual obsery-
ers, but anybody's child is not to be done.
Admitted.
He has no respect for you; if you freely Of
fer him morey, you are a fiat; he has Il ready
impertnenee to throw at you should you be
harsh to him he hates you if you be either a
parish officer or a detective. If you be a
philanthropist, he listens to you only to laugh
at you. Anybody's child is twelve years old,
yet he has had great experience in the world.
Ha is skilled in every artifce, and ready to
profit by any. Admitted.
Is it his cue to be penitent, to repent thor
ougly, to cry, land call himself an abandoned
wretch, and a miserable sinner, todeolare that
there is no good in him, that death is the
best possible thing that could happen to him,
to exhibit knowledge of religious Observance
es-he will do all this, you know he will
Admitted.
First, he cries; then he allows himself to be
soothed; then he describes the terrible hard
ships he has suffered then he strikes up
psalm, which he sings very fairly. This per-
Torrance is well adapted to touch the feelings
