Constitutionnl Amendment in

Carriers.
New YORK, October 24.-The Herald's
Troy special says: Creditors of the sus-
pended firm Of Alden, Fink g. Co., OF
Cohoes, are here from New York, en-
deayoring to secure their debts, and
represent the firm.
Information has been received here OF
the murder of Mr.. Gilbert Eaton, son of

the porter of the hotel where Mr.. Eaton
was stopping, and with whom Mr..
turned upon him and stabbed him to

The Herald's New Orleans special

urged Governor Wells to force the
amendment through the Legislature.
A case involving the liability of COM

Increase Of Population i'm the United


The emperor Napoleon in his recent
circular stated that lone century hence
the United States Of America will con-
tain one hundred millions OF inhabl-
tants." The Louisville Journal shows
that he is at fault by more than sixty
wears. Our national statistics show
that the population of the country
doubles every twenty-three years. our
population was 3l,OO0,OU0 III lS6o. In
iSi3 it will exceed 60,00O,0O0, and in
seventeen years thereafter, or in the
wear 1900, the population will exceed
loo 10000 This calculation does not
consider the increase which will accrue
to us by the annexation of Canada,
Neyica, Central America and the West
India Islands. (which will be incorpo-
rated in the American Union long be-
fore the close of this century. Inc
Journal goes on to say:
With these accessions of population,
and territory TO sustain population, the
number of inhabitants of the United
States of America on the LIST of January,
1900. will not he a soul less than one
hundred and forty millions, OF equal to
the then population of France, Prussia,
Great Britain and Spain, and will pos
sess warlike resources far greater than
all of them combined. The French En-
peror boasts that France and Algeria
contain almost forty millions of inhabi-
tants. Four years hence the United
States will contain forty millions, with
ont the Canadas, and fnrty-four millions
with them. \ century hence this re-
public will contain more population
wealth and power than all the nations OF
Europe rolled into one"

White Soldier.

A white soldier who enlisted any
time from the beginning of the war to
June IS, 1863, gets 500 by the act OF
July 26, 1866, and no more. A negro
soldier who enlisted after October IL,
1868, gets $500 bounty, by section four
Of the act of June Is, 1864.
The Congress made no appropriation
for the payment of the 500 bounty to
white soldiers, but carefully provided
for the negro bounty. When the widow
of any white soldier applies for any ar
rears of pay, or for pension, or fol
bounty due her by her deceased hus-
bands service, she must prove her LIE
GAL marriage to her husband by SECOND
evidence as would establish the fact in
court.
When o negro woman claims the pay,
bounty or pension, due through de
ceased negro soldier, she can establish
her claim by showing that she was mar
ried, by any form (which the parties
considered obligatory" or that she
"lived" with the deceased negrO'as his
wife.
If any body doubts these statements,
let him apply at the nearest claim or
pension agent who is in good standing
with the War Department.

The Error of the North.

If the Northern people could, by n
miracle, be shown the real condition OF
the SOuth-could see into the interior
of our households and business affairs
could see how straitened we are in our
circumstances-cOuld learn how many
families that hitherto knew, experiment
tally, little of life save its snjoyments
and luxuries, are now brought face to
face with its hardships and privations-
could see the struggle that is going on
in every household for the bare neces-
saries of life, the economy that is prac-
ticed and the patient endurance of old
and young, male and female IF they
could see how eager all are for some
honest employment, however humble,
that will yield bare livelihood-could
see how tolerant those who owned
hundreds of slaves, who were ut
their beck and call, now are
of the freedmen in their acquir-
ed privileges, and with what
cheerful good humOr they conform to
the new order of things-treating these
former slaves with the utmost kindness;
If, too, they could see the perfect indit-
ference of all classes to politics, their
freedom from passion anu pdTllsahsIll, p
If, we say, the Northern people could,
by miracle, be shown these things,
they would wonder at their own eX-
element and exclaim against the mis-
chievous demagogues who have de-
ceived and misled them. While the
Northern people, thus deluded, are go
ing about like roaring lions, the South
is as quiet as lamb. The Radical
| measures are all calculated for condi-
ton of things bordering on revolution,
when the Southern people are as free OF
every thought or purpose of revolution
as the dead who sleep their last sleep
in the ancient catacombs. We are all
utterly disguised with politics, and de-
sire only to be allowed to attend in
peace to our business affairs.-RichmOnd

GrEar SLAUGHTER OF RArs.-I

GTEAr SLAUGHTER OF RATs.-The
rats are swarming in the country west
and northwest of the city. They seem
to be migrating southwark, and the
weather-seers predict that there will
be very severe winter. In many
places the rats have destroyed the corn,
sweet potatoes and tomatoes; and they
have got into the orchards, and climb.
ing the trees, they have destroyed much
fruit. The great army reached New
Castine, Darke county, the other day,
and forthwith their scouts took posses
sion of every thing eatable. A man in
the place whose stable floor had given
out determined to have 1T re-
placed with new one.
On examining the matter, it was
ascertained that the space under the
floor was literally packed full of rats.
The owner Immediately circulGted the
word, and all the idle men and dogs in
the village were collected together, and
the place was surrounded. The work
men proceeded to remove the floor, when
the men and dogs pitched in, and began
the work of slaughter. They did not
cease until they had slain "1,5O5 rats !"
And the space in which these vermin
were gathered was twenty by twenty
four feet, and one and half feet deep.
The statement is made to us by truth
full men who witnessed the slaughter,
and may be taken for truth, extravagant
as it may sound.-Ddyton CO., Journal

COFFEE CRUSHED VS.. GRoUND.-The
following is from the annual Of Scientific
Discovery:
1t is not generally known that coffee
that has been beaten is better than that
which has been ground. Such, how.
ever, is the fact, and in this brief article
on the subject, Savarin gives what he
considers the reason for the difference.
As he remarks, mere decoction of
green coffee is most insipid drink, but
carbonization developes the aroma, and
an oil which is the popularity of the
coffee we drink. He agrees with other
writers that the Turks excel in this.
They employ no mills, but beat the
berry with wooden pestals in mortars.
When long used, these pestals become
precious, and bring great prices. He
determined, by ctnalexperiment,w which
| of the two methods was the best. He
burned carefully pound of good Mocha.
and separated it into two equal portions.
The one was passed through the mill,
the other was beaten after the Turkish
fashion, in mortar. He made coffee OF
each. Taking equal weights of each, and
pouring on an equal weight Of boiling
water. he treated them both precisely
alike. He tasted the coffee himself and
caused other competent judges to do so.
The unanimous opinion was that the
coffee beaten in a mortar was far better
/ than that grounnd in mill.

hereabouts is the Irish giant, OBald-
win, who stands six feet four and half
inches in his bare feet, and has just
licked an Englishman of almost his
inches, and is engaged to fight Mace for
the belt of the champion. Should he
win, the question is whether the Fenians
would be satisfied with his triumph, or
be encouraged to win further victories.
O'Baldwin, however, does not propose
to plumber and massacre all before him,
but only to mash the one before him.
