The increase in some of these States is
very small, but none Of them show any fall
ing off. 1t appearsthat New Hampshire is the
only State in the Union which has absolutely
diminished in population during the last de
cade. The greatest proportional gain Ill any
State is that Of Nevada; but rs it was the
smallest of the States when admitted, this
ia no more than was to have been expected.
The largest actual gain is in Illinois-over
500, 000-which brings her up to within
100000 of Ohio. but leaves her as before,
the fourth State ill population. The rela-
tive order of the States as to population Is
not materially changed, but Missouri out
strips Indiana, and becomes the fifth State.
Indiana is the sixth, Massachusetts is the
seventh. and then follow Kentucky. Tennes-
see, Virginia, Georgia, Michigan. Iowa, Wis
cousin, North Carolina and Alabama-in all
sixteen States which have upward of l.0OO,
600 inhabitants. In 1860 there were but
eleven such. Iowa has made the greatest
jump in rank. She was the nineteenth in
1860: she is now the thirteenth North
Carolina, on the other hand, stood twelfth
in 1860, and now drops to the fourteenth
place. and Alabama now stands as the six
teenth. whereas she was the thirteenth ten
wears ago.

According to q cOrrespOnlcnt of Il London

According to correspondent of Il London
paper, Napoleon twice narrowly escaped
very creditable ending at Sedan. Once.
while riding slowly along a street. a shell
exploded only few feet in front. but left
him unframed And aftcrward, when sit
ting at a window, and about to indite that
wretched offer of surrender to the Prussian
King. shell struck the wall just outside
and burst only few feet from the Empe
ror's chair, again leaving him unscathed
and unmoved. That was the worst mis-
guided shell of all the shells that rained up
on the doomed village. If it had done its
work properly Napoleon would have gone
out in "a haze of sulphurous heroism, and his
death would have given his heir stronger
hold upon the sympathy of the French peo-
pie than he is likely ever to gain i'll any
other Way

Congressman Myers, ofPhiladelphia. while

Congressman Myers, of Philadelphia. while
at the White House, in conversation, said
"a great State like Pennsylvania is entitled
to Cabinet officer. The people are con-
stantly throwing that up TO US, saying that
we, their representatives, have no power, no
influence, in fact no nothing over orr oppo-
nents to use for their benefit, and ridicule
us, and tell you the most powerful weapon
yet to use with the American people is ridi-
Guile. Its effect is wonderous. We never
could have lost those districts in Philadel-
phia. only for the action Of the government
in regard to the navy yard there. Men
must have work, tell you. What we want
is representative in the Cabinet and it is
no use talking"

A wild romance in St. Louis paper
comes to this sad conclusion ''At noon she
was dying, when the door bell was savagely
rung, the servant hurried up, three steps at
a time, entered the room without asking
permission, and dropping exhausted in front
of her bed, handed her Il sealed tin box.
The mother rapidly opened it; it was the
chignon. She took it in her pale hand: a
curl of her light brown hair-the same of
which pert was cut and sent to New York
as a sample to match the color OF the CHG
nsn-hltng over the shoulder; she hung the
chignon near the curl and whispered. 1t is
exactly the shade and then She dropped it
and was dead

The question of consolidating the revenue
departments is before the President for
final decision. The outlines of the changes
deemed best for the interest of the service
have been indicated by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. The decision involves so
many questions concerning the transfer and
relief Of officers that more time will be con-
sumed at the White House than was at first
expected, ana an order announcing the con-
solicitations may be delayed for several
weeks The estimate of the reduction in
the expenses of collecting the revenue by
the contemplated changes places it at one

The Lone Stars Mt Montgomery.

We copy the following from the Mont
gcmery journal OF Thursday evening;
Tho Lone Stars, of New Orleans. arrived
at $50 A. NJ, yesterday, and went to the
Dexter House. on Market street. Though
considerably wearied by their long journey,
they appeared on the grounds at 10 A. NJ,
looking fresh and in good spirits. The
Montgomery club was on hand, eager for
contest with the champions of the South.
At 10 A. NJ the game commenced, with the
Montgomery club at the bat. The weather
was piercing cold, making it very painful to
hold ball from strong thrower, but both
clubs played manfully, and gave the few
spectators present the most interesting
game ever witnessed on our grounds. The
following is the score of the game:

To DESTROY WEEDS IN WALks.-A most
efficient agent for the destruction of weeds.
and one that is not expensive, can be made
by boiling four pounds Of arsenic and eight
pounds OF soda in twelve gallons Of water.
To every gallon of this boiling mixture
three gallons of cold water should be added,
and the liquid carefully sprinkled over the
walks while it is yet warm. 1t is desirable
to do this in fine weather. and VIXEN the
walks are dry, so that the weeds and weed
seeds may have the full benefit of the appli-
cation. Care must be taken not to let any
of the liquid fall on the leaves or reach the
roots of any plants it is not desired to kill
In twenty four hours after the poison is put
on the walks every weed will be killed: and
if it be once thoroughly done, it will keep
the walks clean through the whole season.

Many persons are in the habit of sleeping
for half an hour or an hour after dinner.
This is a bad practice. Ten minutes sleep
before dinner is worth more than an hour
after. 1t rests and refreshes and prepares
the system for vigorous digestion. If sleep
is taken after dinner it should be in sitting
posture, as the horizontal position is unta-
vOrable to healthful digestion. Let those
who need sleep and rest during the day take
it before dinner instead of after, and they
will soon find that they feel better, and that
their digestion will be improved the!eby.

The Troy, New York, Times SAYS:

Colonel j. Schuyler Crosby has resigned
from the regular army and enteredupon a
mercantile career in New York city. Colonel
Crosby entered the army early in 1861 as a
lieutenant in the first regiment of artillery.
General Banks appointed him upon his

served with distinction throughout the war,
and retired with record of which any man
might be proud.

Arkansas has three members of Congress. of

Lawrence Barrett ut the st. Charles.
The st. Louis Democrat, of Thursday

says:
The 'King of the Commons" was given
last evening for the first time in several
years, Lawrence Barrett essaying the part
of James f., of Scotland, in manner that
delighted the audience and brought forth
loud plaudits. His persOnation of the King
was fresh and natural pOrtraiture, ex-
hibting all the passion Of the fiery monarch
with the adherence of the supposed
treachery of his friend Lord Seoto". His
burst Of pleasure and forgiveness when
convinced of the honor and loyalty of the
friend in whom he placed bis confidence
and found it justified, rose to the dignity Of
grandeur, and was one Of the finest points
made during the evening. Taken all in all,
King James may be rated as one of the best
characters that Mr.. Barrett has given lis
during his engagement, and should be re-
heated on his return
