The SOUTHERN FORCES AT MAEAssAs.-Thc

49,
n. Y. TFibuRe, Of the 18Th inst, says:
A gentleman from Richmond appears to
have told the Philadslphians that the rebels
at Manassas Junction number 60,000, and
that enforcement daily arrive from the
South. This estimate is absurdly large. Moth
ing can be clearer than that the rebels in Vr-
GINA have for the past fortnight been growing
each day more disheartened. & prsmonition
of total defeat and overthrow has pressed
down their spirits. They have long known
thac their cause is unholy, but they have made
themselves believe the fiction they have in
vented as to their own strength and the
weakness OF our forces. Now, however. they
see that an army on paper is a very different
thing from an army in the field ; the former
they have invented-the later We have
brough into action. 50, at the last moment,
when despair chilis their energies, they are
making ~spasnodic efforts to recruit their
ranks.

Love I'm a Car.

We have heard ofove in cottage, love
by the sea shore, and love under difficulties,
but never until last Saturday night did we
witness love in city passenger railway car.
Having business that required our attention
in the northwestern section of the city until
late hour, we, at half-past eleven o'clock,
found our way into one of the Madison ave-
nue. cars (No. 4O). Atthe corner of Frank
lin and Eutaw streets, a young lady and gen.
tleman entered the car and occupied seat
in the corner. Being great admrer of fe-
males, we stole glance at the young lady,
and were recompensed by beholding very
lovely young Miss, with black hair and eyes
the later appearing as if Cupid, the God
of Love, had rented the premises and SEEM
cd determined to dispute the sway of man.
Her companion was one of those specimens
known as the genus homo. He was attired
in bran new suit of Harrison street store
clothes, and appeared as gay as peacock
The first thing that he did after seating him
self was to encircle the neck of his compau-
ion with his left arm, while his right hand
lovingly grasped her soft and delicate left.
Not being used to such scenes, 1--WE being a
bachelor) we kept our neither eye open and
noted down proceedings in our mind.
"Clara," began the passionate lover saint
this nice; I swow its better than riding in
the old wagon"
ayes. JOSH" fecbly articulated Clara
"But don't hug me SO, the folks are looking
at u.s."
"Well let them look" retorted JOSH
"Guess they would like to be in my place. u
1--WE for once did most heartily envy his sit
uation.)
"Yes, but Josh you know that they will
laugh at us" meekly rejoiued his companion.
"Let them laugh" exclaimed the irato
lover. "Don't love you, and don't you
love me, and amt we going to get married
tomorrow ~
Josh at this moment appeared as ifa brill
liant idea had struck him, for he suddenly
bent over and kissed his fair companion
square in the mouth.
"There," said he exultingly, saint thai
nice? You don't n bers get them Sort
Then turning to the occupants of tho car
he exclaimed: "Strangers, me and thi
young woman have come down from tn,
country to get marred. She is a nice gal
and l am going to do the right thing b.
her."
During the delivery of thisconcise speech
Clara's face was dffused with bushes, nc
ticing which her ardent love remarked
"Don't get so ALFRED red about the gill:
Clara. You know that you are going t
get married, and what's tho use to Auste
upT
This last speech settled the business c
the passengers. They gave one shout an
relieved their bodies of charge of laughte
that had almost strangled them.
At the corner of Calvert and Baltimor
streets VIC vacated the car, leaving the haI
py couple as contented rs if the futur

The Two Wives,

Recently, two men were returning home
from beer-shop at late hour, partially in
toxicated, and one of them remarked :
"When get into my house shall catch a
terrible scolding from my wife," "Ah,"
replied his companion, 81 shall meet some
thing ten times more intolerable than that
Ny anxious wife who is waiting for me at
this midnight hour, will meet me with moth
ing but kind words and acts; but her care
worn countenance, and the thought that
she has been praying for me, win be fal
harder to endure than the most furious in.

swer her with harsh words. Her quiet way
and her kindness shame me, though am
tipsy. Oh am cruel-neyer shall taste

state Loyalty In 1921.

Nothing is more interesting and instruct
i've than to observe which were the firm and
loyal States in the dark days ofour history.
During the thirteen years prior to the
adoption of the Constitution, in 1897, the
General Government had no power of tax
alton. Even when, in March, 1881, the
whole of the States assented to the "Arti-
cles of Confederation" Congress had only
the power of indicating what sums it stood
in need of, and ofrequesting each State to
contribute the fair proportion which it was
its duty to pay. The adoption of the Ar
ticles of Confederation rendered this an hon.
orable obligation, which each State, though
it could not be compelled, was bound to
meet. 1t is most interesting 10 observe
how it was met during the five years which
elapsed between 1882 and 1887.
State Which paid more than ats quota: -
New York.
State whieh paid nearly the ,Ohole;-
PENNSYLVANIA.
State aehich paidthree fthS VIRGINIA
States aOhich paid one half:-MAssAoHU
sErTs, RHODE ISLAND, MARYLAND.
States which paid about one Mird:-
CoNNEoTIcUT, DELAWARE.
States whach paid NOTHING Ne:-GEoReIA
South CAROLINA, NORTH CAROLINA, New
HAMPsHIRE.
The above facts are derived from Judg,
Story's Commentaries on the Constitution
section $50, edition of 1851. The exten
to which the several States fulfilled thei
honorable obligations may be taken as al
index of their respective loyalty and goo'
faith. 1t is interesting to observe that thos
States which now repudiate their obliga
tions to the Central Government, then ais
showed the same disposition to let other
pay the price Of the benefits which they re
eeived.-Pha. Inquirer.

Hon. John sherman.

On Tuesday evening last, the various
Senatorial candidates at Columbus were
serenaded and called out to make remarks
in response to the compliment paid to
them. The Columbus correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald made reports of the re-
marks of Sherman, Dennison and Schenck.
We clip the following abstract of Mr.. Sher-
mans remarks:
Mr. S. was thankful for the compliment,
and was glad, on returning from the seat
of the General Government, to find the peo-
pie of Ohio prosperous, peaceful and happy.
The State was fortunately situated-remov-
ed from the sources of disquietude, and with
100000 of intelligent freemen. He had
just retuned from witnessing what, with US,
may be seen every four years, the inaugura-
tion of new Federal Administration
But how different from any preceding in
auguration! Treason rampant, government
property surrendered to traitors, the Gov
ernmcnt dishonored and degraded, a Gen.
eral bctraying his trust, without striking a
blow-under such circumstances the man Of
their choice and of his choice, had taker
his post as chosen President of tho United
States. He saw him take the solemn oatt
to sustain the Constitution and execute the
laws of the land. He believed he woult
adhear to that oath and meet manfully Tho
difficulties of his position. Much of thi
threatening evil might pass harmlessly
away; but there might come time wher
an appeal must be made to the patriotism
of the citizens of the North. When tha
time came, men of all parties, Democrats
Americans, Republicaus-all would rally
together to their country's cause. (Cbeers.)
Just now, military necessary might ex
tort an apparent yield to traitors, but err
long the Border States will demand tina
these humilations shall cease and the Gov
ernment be sustained. He was Republi
can, in the true sense of the word, and b.
desired an administration on Republican
principles He was willing to give South
ern citizens every right they had unde
the Constitution-for himself he claime
no more. (Cheers.)

statistics of mormon Population.

The Valley Tan copies the following statis-
tics of Mormon population:
The population of Mormons in the United
States and British dominions in 1856 was not
less than 65000, of which $4,000 were residents
in Utah, 5000 in New York State, 1000 in Cal
ifornia, 5000 in Nova Scotia and in the Canadas
and 5000 in South America In Europe there
were $4,000, of which $4,000 were in Great Bri-
tain and Ireland, 5000 in Scandinavia, 1000 in
Germany, Switzerland and France and the rest
of Europe 1000; in Australia and Polynesia
2,400; in Africa 100; and on travel, $500. To
these, if we add the different branches, includ-
ing Sarengities, Rigdontes and Whitcites, the
whole sect was not less than 10000. In 1857
there appears to have been a decrease in the
population of Utah. the number being only 81,
022, of which 5000 were ceildren, about IL ,00C
women, and 900 men capable of bearing arms
There are 1888 men with eight or more wives
of these l3 have more than nine wives, 730 men
with five wives, LOO with four wives, and 2,50s
with more than one wife. Recapitulation--
4,6l7 men with about l6,500 wives.
