THE MELoDEoN MINSTREL STAR TROUPE. This
popular Troupe commence their entertainments
in this place tonight, and will appear again, at
Union Hall tomorrow night The SoNth-Sidt
Democrat reviews them after this fashion:
"We have recently had occasion to notice in

Minstrels who terminate their attractive stay In
Petersburg, this evening, and we find them all
to be men of honorable and gentlemanlike man
ners, intentions, as well as musicians of good a.

ted in any of the hulnbug concerns which cir
culate for period to do the public.

punctual in his engagements, but is also inde-

I INTERESTING FAoTs.-In the year 800, excul-
i ive of the army and navy, there were $500 per-
sons in the employment of the Federal Govern
Lnent in 1854 the number was 35,45G, nine
fold increase, the population having increased a.
tbont fve-folt. The number of real estate owners
in the United States cannot fall short of 1,5Q0,-
| 900. or one in about $40 of the free males over
81 wears of age. 1t is estimated that the direct
and indirect tax paid by each-white person in
the country for all purposes amounts to $4.24.
There are about ZOO Indians within the ter
ritorial limits of the United States AT the close
of the Revolutionary War Gen. Knox estimated
the Indians in the thirteen States to number a.
bout 76. 900. In 1856, of the 1897 political news
poners published in the United States, S55 were
Wings and 742 Democratic papers. Over two
fftbs of the national territory is drained by the
Mississippi and its tributaries. The distance be-
tween the cities of New York and New Orleans
is more than equal to hatseparating London and
Constantinople or Paris from st. Petersburgh.
By the land route between New York and AS
toria, the distance is equal to that between New
York and Bremen. BY the water route the dis
lance is as great as that between Canton and
London.
In New England the females have always ex-
ceeded the males in number. The foreign vote
of the country is estimated to be but one-twelfth
of the whole The total number of families hold
ing slaves in 1850 was 347 .525. 1t is estimated
that one-third of the white population of the
slave States sustain the relation of slave owners.
The State of New York has about one-eighth Of
the population of the Union, Pennsylvania about
one-tenth. and Delaware about one-two-h hundred
and sixty-third. There is one house to every six
persons in the country.

tations into the port of Boston, during the

In a quaint old Jewish manuscript, now in
the British museum, that the Oldest of man
kind, Metausaleh, did not live as long as he
might have done. The writer says God prom
ised him in a dream that if he would rise up
and build him house, his life should be pro-
lOnged five hundred years, but he replied
that it was not worth while to build a house
for 80 short period and so he died before
he was a thousand years old.

THE OLD sTAGE-coACH.

The good times when ouI fathers rode
In safety by the sta e,
Have pass'd before the onward march
Or this progressive age;
And now no goadly coach and four
Draws up beside the stage house door.
How rang the laugh, the jest and joke,
As all together rode,
Coach'd up in friendly jolity
Lie boys Of one abode
The weary miles seemed shorter then
As thus we rode Ger hill and glen
Fun half the pleasure Of the way
Was appetite and fare
THIS gather'd from q mine hosts, full board
THAT from the mountain air.
o. then we went LIES fioHery WAYS
They ended with our staging days.
o, that was music when at morn
As winding roucd by yon old mill,
The driver tlev his bright tin horn
And echo answered from the bin:
NOW, neither Torn, nor prancing team
Is heard amidst this age Of steam.
But drawn beneath some SHATTERED shed
The old stage coach neglected stands,
It's curtains Hopping in the wind,
The ghost or ruins waving hands;
While on the wheels the gathering rust
Proclaims the mortal, ''dust to dustr
White In the fields their scaiter'd bones
Or on the common turned to die;
Their "trips" all DER, their s'routesn all run,
The wheelers and their leaders lie
The drivers ride and labor gone,
