How THE CEYsUs-TAKERs GET UsED.-One
of the U. S. Census-takers, at present en-
plOyed in getting at the facts in San Fran
cisco, relates, SAYS the Alta, that despite the
most insinuating address, he often receives
awful rebufs, especially, when, in the pur-
suit of his duties he is obliged to PROFOUND
to the ladies certain queries respecting their
age On one occasion, he was near being
elected VI ct drB,is from the domicil of lady
of an uncertain age to whom lie had ven
tured to ask the delicate question as to the
number of summers which had passed over
her head-"None of your business" was the
response 81 think the Board of Supervisors
might have selected decent folks to get their
senses for them, without having lone wo-
man insulted in her own house" The officer
hinted that the City Fathers were guiltless Of
whatever fault there might he, and that I'm
Gle Sam was the responsible party. "Oh, he
is, is he? well if your uncle Samuel, or any
other of your scrub relations wants to know
II lady's age, he'd better come and ask it him~
seIi-Ihats my opinion. Another lady called
one of the agents an impudent fellow, and
said she had her own opinion of the whole

pry into affairs which didn't concern them.

er Satellite, all huddled togther without any
protection for their bodies, shower of large
tin cans were thrown at them from the ship
10y the mate and crew, severely injuiing sew
eral of the passengers. Two women were
so badly hurt as to require lid to walk their
heads being cut and bruised to n fearful ex- |
