TIE COST OF A F1REMAN's RIOT.

TIE COST OF A FIREMAN'S RIOT.
The importance of a radical change in the
Fire Department was shown yesterday by the
presentation of a claim for damages to pro-
perty by fire, growing out of the firemen's
riot on the morning of October 9. This
claim amounts only to the small sum of $500,
and the claimant almost apologies for being
obliged to make it. He says:-'T ask nothing
more than the actual cost of replacing the
property destroyed, which is about $500.
The loss is a small one, but let me assure you
it is very serious one to me at this time.

THE CENSUS OF PHILADELPHIA.
In both branches of City Councils a disposi-
tion was manifested yesterday to provide
for correct census of Philadelphia by the
municipal authorities, and we hope that at
the next meeting a plan will be perfected
whereby this important object can be accom-
plished. There should be no serious diff
Guilty in ascertaining the number of inhabit-
ants of the city, and intelligent policemen
are probably better. qualified by their local
knowledge to perform this duty faithfully
than any other class of appointees. If
our citizens generally would co-ope-
rate in this task, increased accu-
racy would be assured. Marco Polo, in
writing more than five. hundred years ago of
the Chinese cities, said that every house.
holder was required to put on the outer walls
of his dwelling written statement setting
forth the age and name of each occupant. If
such data were furnished in every instance
here, census-taking would be an easy per-
formance. We can scarcely expect, how
ever, that all Philadelphia householders would
comply with similar requirement, but there
are doubtless many thousands who would fill
up, and have ready ON any given
day that might be appointed, a blank
form containing the requisite information
in the proper shape. In the localities where
this information is not cheerfully and volun-
tarily.sgiven, the policemen would be more
likely to extract the truth, and to know when
the whole truth was told to them, than assis-
tant marshals; and large majority of house
holders, by filling up blank statements, would
so much Tighten the labors of the proposed
new census-takers that they would have
ample time to devote to districts where igno-
rance, prejudice, Indifference, or crime
prompt concealment of the number and
names of the inhabitants.
That the national census is fearful under
estimate is proven by many facts familiar To
every intelligent Philadelphian, and the truth
should be established not only for her vindi-
cation abroad, but for many local purposes.
Councils themselves, to legislate intelligently,
should know the true population of the re-
spective wards, and it is important, from every
point of view, that they should provide al
once for thorough municipal census

THE SURRENDER OF METZ.

The surrender of Metz makes another i'm
portant addition to the long catalogue of
triumphs achieved by the German armies in
France, and this new acquisition is so valu-
able that it gives King William very fair
excuse for closing the war. With Strasburg
and Metz in his possession he has not only
the best available guarantees against future
French invasion, but he has virtual contro
of the old German territory lying west of the
Rhine, which the Germans have so long
coveted, and he can scarcely hope to obtain
from the most unqualified military success
more complete indemnity for the past or
more ample security for the future.
1t is alleged that Bazaines surrender was
not necessitated by lack of supplies, and
that he acted either in the interest of the de-
posed Imperial dynasty or with the more
patriotic view of exacting, in return for his
surrender, promise that the German armies
should be withdrawn from France. If the
charges made against Bazaine by the republi-
cans are well founded, they furnish another
fearful illustration of the worthlessness of
the standing armies of France for good pur-
poses; and the people will be forced to realize
more clearly than ever the necessity for self
reliance and for destroying an organization
that Expresses them in peace and disgraces
them in war.
The next development in this compli-
Gated and bloody drama will be awaited with
intense interest. 1t remains to be seen
whether the war is to end now, with the fall
of Metz and the virtual acquisition of Alsace
and Lorraine by the victors, or whether new
horroya ora tn flow from Razainea surrander
If the siege of Paris is to be continued, the
German armies heretofore employed in the
Investment Of Metz will greatly increase the
number of the besiegers, and the French
capital is in more serious danger now than at
any former period But it is to be hoped
that peace is near at hand, and that the sur
render of Metz will avert further bloodshed
instead of melting new struggles.

What i Know OF Farming.
by Mark Twain.l

Turnips should never be pulled; il
Injuries them. 1t is much better to
send boy up and let him shake the
tIee.
The guano is a fine bird, but great
care is necessary in rearing it. 1t should
not be imported earlier than June or
later than September. In the winter it
should be kept in warm place, where
it can hatch out its young.
1t is evident that we are 10 have a
backward season for grain. Therefore
it will be well for the farmer to begin
setting out his cornstalks and planting
his buckwheat cakes in July instead OF
August.
Concerning the pumpkin-this berry
IS a favorite with the natives Of the in
terror of New England, who prefer it to
the gooseberry for the making Of fruit
cake, and who likewise give it the prefer
ence over the raspberry for feeding cows,
ss being more filling and fully as satisfy
ing. The pumpkin is the only esculent
of the orange family that will thrive in
the north, except the gourd and one or
two varieties of the squash. But the
custom OF planting it in the front yard
with the shrubbery is fast going out Of
vogue, for it is generally conceded that
the pumpkin, as a shade tree isa failure.

4 Busy ExeeutiOner.

A letter from Athens, speaking ofthe
execution of the brigands concerned in
the murder of the English travellers,
says their decapitation was delayed in
consequence ofthe absence Of the public
executioner on a professional tour.
The following list of his performances
is given:
Last Friday week he beheaded three
brigands at Stylida, on Saturday two at
Lamia, on Monday two at Hypate; he
was then at Levadei, where was TO eX-
cute a notorious criminal. He was then
to 90 to Chalcis and to Athens TO be
head, afterward, the seven under SEN
tenence of death His next destination
is Corinth, where he is TO execute five
brigands who have been for some time
awaiting the execution oftheir sentence.
One of the brigands bcheaded at
Stvlida, had been condemned to death
five times. These executions, it might
be imagined, would be a heavy blow
and great dscouragement to brigandage,
but it is not 50. Either the system or
sympathy with it seems rooted among
the mass Of the Greek people, and by no
means the people Of the lower orders
