Mode Of Taking the Census.

The duties of this undertaking devolve
upon the United States Marshals, who ap-
point their own assistants
The General Government has in each
State and Territory one or more judicial
districts, with each of which is connected
a marshal who acts as high sheriff in the
District Court of the United States.
These marshals are required by law to
subdivide their districts, and for each sub
division to appoint an assistant, taking care
not to include a greater population (by es-
ti0'ate) than twenty thousand in any one
subdivision.
1he assistants having been qualified, by
oath, for the proper performance of their
duties, are furnished, through the marshals,
with blanks and instructions.
In tie prosecution of their work, they are
required TO make two copies of ther report.
The original returns are filed with the clerk
of the court of each county, and the copies
are forwarded to the marshal, who trans
mits one copy to the Secretary of State of
his district, and the other to the census Of
fee in Washington. The compensation to
the marshal is in proportion to the popula
ton enumerated by his assistants; should
that exceed one million, he is paid one dol
the population returned by his assistants
be less than one million, he receives the sum
of one dollar and twenty-five cents for each
one thousand persons returned, system
Of compensation sufficiently moderate, but
which may admit of the payment of a greater
amount for a lesser service, as in the case
of a marshal whose returns include nine
hundred and fifty thousand persons at one
dollar and twenty-five cents per thousand
persons. and more than he whose returns
do not much exceed million, an equality
lot unusual in rating fees for mileage and
other services.
The assistants who perform the work of
enumeration are paid on different princi-
pie, combining in novel manner compen-
sation for labor and travel, one which is
found to operate very fairly aud satisfacto-
rily to the employees and Government
His allowance is two cents for each person
enumerated; for each farm, ten cents for
each establishment of productive industry,
fifteen cents; for social statistics, two per
centum on the amount allowed for .numc-
rating the population, and two cents for
each mortality return, with ten cents for
travelling expenses, to be ascertained by
multiplying the square root of the number
Of dwelling houses in his district by the
square root of the number of square miles
in his division; from the product whereof
is to be derived the number of miles trav-
elled, and eight cents per page for the two
copies.
The marshals and assistants in California,
Oregon, Utah and New Mexico, under the
operations of an amendment to the law, re-
ceived compensation at the discretion of the
Secretary of the Interior, which was deter
mined by the addition of one hundred per
cent Wash. Constitution.

THE Arms WITH THE KrBBE BRANp.-The

THE Arms WITH THE KrBBE BRASp.-The
Ecening Telegram furnishes the following
explanation of how State arms have found
their way to the possession of thePah-Ute
and Shoshone Indians: About three years
ago "Uncle Billy Rogers" made a requisi-
ton upon the Government of this State for
arms to protect his party from the Indians.
One hundred rifles were furnished him, and
in order that they might be identified and
reclaimed, the initials of General Kibbe
were stamped upon them. Nothing has
since been seen of the articles, and the sup
position is that the Indians obtained them
from Rogers company.

A GOOD DEAL or EXCITEMENT has iaAely
been created in fashionable circles in Paris
by the unprecedented good luck of three
or four Russian princes, who have made the
rounds of the clubs and accomplished 9 very
large haul. One of their adversaries, ct the
neat little game of lansquenet, was damaged
in single sitting to the tune of two hund-
red and fifty thousand francs; another lost
a hundred thousand, another fifty, and SO
on. At length it began to be suspected
th.t the strangers prscticed . few slight
advantages and one victim, after losing
several thousand at q private room, VEN
tured to observe that he thought the cards
Irregular. Hereupon one of the Russians
opened the table drawer, swept the papers
inside, locked it, and politely handed the
key to the complainant, at the same time
calling FOR fresh cards. This was certainly
O clever mode of uniting the suspected
cards with those which had been previously
extracted and purposely left in that very
drawer; but the Frenchman had no means
of proving the swindle, and wisely held bis
tongue. hint Of their invariable luck
having been given to the police, the Musco-
vite gentry have suddenly been called away
from Paris by urgent business.

ONE Of the neatest retorts ever given, was
that which Lord Erskine met at the hands
of Sheridan. It appears that Lord Erskine
declared at large party, in which Lady Frs
kline and Mr.. Sheridan were present, "that
wife was only a tin canister tied to ones
tailn Upon which Sheridan presented Lady
Erskine with the following lines:
" Lord Erskine, at women pretending to rail,
Calls wife q tin canister tied to ones tail;'
And the fair Lady Anne, while the subject car
ries on,
Seems hurt at bis Lordship's degrading compar-
isou.
But wherefore degrading consider Alright,
A canister polished, and useful, and bright,
And should dirt its original purity hide,
That's the fault Of the puppy to whom it is tied

BILLIARDS Practically CoSsIDERED.-The
Bucyrus (Ohio( Journal thas speaks of the
game of billiards:
'Yes, sir, we can tell you all about bill
lizards. 1t is game consisting oftwo men
in their shirt sleeves, punching balls about
on a table, and presenting the keeper twenty
fve cents. or as is most commonly the case
in this country, telling him to just mark it
down.-This last mentioned custom has
given them the title of billiard markers;
If you have decided genius for the game,
you will make superior player at an ex-
pense of about $4,000. Blacksmiths, car
penters, &C., play it for exercise. 1t was
invented by a shrewd saloon keeper, who
was not satisfied with profit on whisky,
and was too much opposed to temperance
to water it. "

An AFRICAN PRINCE IN LoSDoN.-Anam-

received so many attentions from cele-

made you negress, you would have been
irresistible"

SILxNrISFLUEycE.-Itist is the bubbling spring
which flows gently, the little rivulet which
runs along day and night by the farm house,
that is useful, rather than the swollen food,
or the warning cataract. Niagara excites
our wonder, and we stand amazed at the
power and greatness of God there, as he
"pours it from his hollow hand" But one
Niagara is enough for the continent, or the
Worthwhile the same world requires thous-
ands of silver fountains and gentle flowing
rivulets, that water every farm and mead
ow, and every garden, and that shall flow
every day and every night, with their gentle
quiet beauty. So with the acts of our lives.
1t is not by great deeds, like those of the
martys, that good Is to be done; it is by the
daily and quiet virtues Of life-the Christian
temper the meek forbearance, the spirit of
forgiveness, in the husband, the father, the
mother, the brother, the sister, the friend,
the neighbor, that good is to be done.

LOLA MoSrEz is lecturing in the West to
immense audiences and making heaps of

her; they generally show their consistency
however, in rushing to hear men whose

There are some offences which a woman
never forgives in a woman, though the same
act does not affect the standing of a man in

THKoDoRE PARKER on rHl LIouoR Guns
7loS.-Nobody will doubt Theodore Parker's
faithfulness to the Temperance cause, and
therefore what he says about the use of wine,
beer and the drinking habits Of the Euro
peans, will bs unquestioned by the friends
Of Temperance. He writes from Rome, un-
der date of February 25th:
In Europe, you see many things which
seem strange to an American. Take the
use Of wine. II | am right, the Europeans
consume about 800, 900, 900 gallons Divine
In France, leave out Of account the pasture
land which is not ploughed, and the forests,
Of the actual arabic land, one-third is de-
voted TO the culture Of the grape Yet there
are immense districts where no wine can be
raised ct all. see it stated that the gov
srnment returns make it appear that the
people of FraEce drink $50, ,0OO, 600 gallons
Of wine, and the calculation is that the
amount is n much less than ,oO0, 900, 900!
Yet don't believe, in the year 1859, there
was SO much drunkenness among the 49,
0Oo, 900 people of France as among the s.
000, 900 Yankees of New England! l have
been four months at Rome; there are wine
shops every where am out Of doors from
three to six hours day, and have never
yet seen q man drunk now and then one
is merry, never intoxicated. The Romans,
Italians French, ETC., are quite temperate !;
they drink their weak wine with water, and
when they take liquors is is only q little
glassful at a time, (which does not make 9
spoon-full.) don't believe there is a bar
in all Italy where men step up and drink
rum and water, gin and water, etc. Excess
sive drinking is not to the taste of the peo-
pie. In the North of Europe, and even in
Switzerland il is not so. The English,
without help from the Irish and Scotch,
drink about 600 or 700, 100000 gallons of
beer every year, not to speak of the wine,
spirits, ETC., they take to wash it down
withal. There is drunkenness. So you
find it in Scandinavia, in Holland, and North
Germany. How do you think the Ameri-
cans will settle the drink question? Ger
tainly not by taking merely to water, tea,
coffee, etc. We shall have more beer, per-
haps return to the making of cider, and
certainly plant vines where they will grow.
Drunkenness is such q monstrous and
ghastly evil, I would do almost anything to
get rid of it. But l sometimes think we
have taken the wrong track. am glad to
see the license law introduced into she New
York Legislature, and think it will do more
good than our New England scheme Of pro-
hibition BY force.

How many Pah-Utahs are therse

We hear this question asked hourly by
persons who have lately come over here. 1t
is much easier to ask question of this de-
scription than obtain data to correctly an
swer it. We are induced to think their
numbers are much overrated. Two years
since the band of Pah- h-Utahs, under the con-
troll of Young Win-ne-muc-ca, was called
upon to meet the whites and receive some
presents. kept IN account of the blank
cts distributed among them-one to each
male of the party-l78 pair, was all that
was required. TIL chief said that was all
the men he had control OF. The head
quarters of that ban was at Pyramid Lake.
The Chief, known as Old Win-ne-m muc-ca,
has probably as many more warriors. His
range of country is from Smoke Creek, on
.he Honey Lake emigrant road, to the Hum
boldt River. North of that section there
are no Pah-Utahs. From the Humboldt
River, south and east, to the Colorado River
is the portion of the country where the
Pah-Utahs most abound. The Indians in
that section have never molested the people
here, and probably never will. Should a
difficulty occur, the Pah- Utahs proper can
not raise force of more than three or four
hundred men in the entire scope of country
200 miles to the east of Carson City.
These valiant warriors, about whom we
hear SO much talk, are but poorly armed
and instead of the fine steeds which they
are the reputed possessors of, they own no
kind of stock but the veriest scrubs of In
dian ponies-one or two fine American
horses which they have accidentally obtain
ed, excepted.
We refer the community to any old trader
in Western Utah for information about the
truth or falsity of this statement If it is
correct, what is the use of an entire COM
munity, numbering six to eight thousand
souls, becoming SO excited because there
are few hundred Indians diving two days
travel from the white settlements,) who
make some threats. the Indians UNDER
stand the game of 4,wing quite as we'll as

DAILY IMMERSION OF THE HEAD.-Dr. Bissell,
one of the quarantine physicians Mt Staten Island,
states it as his opinion that "f a persons hair Is
washed and combed every day, he is not liable TO dis
ease
The Norfolk Herald adds the following corrobora-
tive testimony $50 important a result from so SIM
pie q cause may seem incredible 10 many, but not to
us. There is not a more ~efectual preventive of
disease than the immersion of the head in cold water
every morning the year round. We Know an old
gentleman, now the rise of seventy, who says that
until he was thirty years old, he was of n weakly
constitution, and particularly liable to attacks OF
bilious fever, violent colds and headache; but having
heard that the best preventive of headache was to
wash the head in cold water every morning, immedi-
ateiy after rising, he then commenced the practice,
and has continued it to the present time, and during
the interval of forty years, has never had the bilious
fever, hardly knows what the headache is, and though
sometimes taking cold, has never had a cold that
hindered him from attending to his ordinary affairs;
add to this, he passed unscathed through the terrible
epidemic of 1855.
