The astonishing changes IN the above

The astonishing changes IN the auoNe
are in the States Of Illinois and Missouri,
which have increased nearly three-quar-
tiers of q million each since 1860. When
we consider the ravages of war, 1t is
wonderful that Missouri, where they
were especially great, should have had
such rapid growth and be now the
fifth State of the Union. Virginia,
counting West Virginia, has l,6j6,OOO
people, or less than Indiana, which was
formerly one Of her counties. In the
beginning Of the Government Virginia
ranked first in population, but
now, at the best, she is but the seventh,
and with West Virginia left off she is
but the eleventh The West and the
South will have great comparative gains
with the East in Congressional repre-
sentation, the former from its increase
Of population, and the latter from the
fact that for the first time all the ne
groes are counted in the representation.
In every previous census five slaves
were ranked only as three persons.
This greatly diminished the political
power Of the South, although it was
foolishly taught by demagogues at the
North that it increased it.

TO General Grant They show that, at

to the danger surrounding Presidential
usurpation, and are determined to place
ballots ahead of bullets in the choice OF
their servants. The lesson is a plain
one, and its application cannot fail to be
attended with the most happy results.

In Mr.. john TIMRs "Notabe Things Of
Our Own Time are som accounts Of the ca
rlO~iIies Of scientific tigaton--among them
the following concerning the hour OF death:
The author had collected over FIVE thousand
cases of death, with the hour of death, and
other circumstances recorded which he had
tahnllted and exhibited on large chart, the
dllhcu.t collections b ing distinguished by col
Ored diagrams. by this chart he showed that,
in one thousand cases Of death in children un-
der five years of age, the periods of the great
est morality took place between the hours OF
aud A. NJ, ; then an extraordinary dcpreS-
sion tOnk place in the succeeding hours be
tween 9 aud II z. NJ. and then the ratio of
mortality was at its minimum.
lie then compared these statistics with 1891
deaths from all causes, aud the chart showed
how remarkably the wave-lna> OF death COM
pared with deaths from consumption, which,
although they showed general resemblance in
the wave-nc yet between the hours of four 10
eight A. NJ, there was depression which com
pared with the first four hours period He
showed that small numbers arc not sufficient
for a Statistical truth, and he therefore urged
uDon his provincial brethren 10 assist him in
| his work by forwarding TO him data tnr tur her
investigation Of this interesting subject.
| lie cOntended that the tables on the chart
proved the extraOrdin,ry mortality in the
early hours of the morning when the powers OF
life were at their lowest ebb and strange to
say, when the patient Was most cared for He
urged the necessity OF feeding and stimulating
the patients at the weakest hour, so as to tide
them over a critical period and, even if death
be inevitable, to so support the patient that he
might at least have a few hours more of life
snatchrd from eternity to admit OF his being
able to carry out some neglected duty, pardon
some enemy, or se some beloved friend.

YNHE simplicity and practieabity of this new
Il Piow commcnds it favorably TO the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows in use. The
whec.s arc four feet in diameter. and run on the
nnplowed land. Its entire construction is in no
way complicated The plow is managesfin in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
riority Of the Gay, Plowz will be clearly shown
by the following cerfi6eaios
We, the zHndersigncd, scitizenssof Linn county

farms the .Gay'' Plow, hereby certify that the
same has given us entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adjusting to suit the depth efEfirfow without
moving from the scat. isssimple and easy. We
like the pfow for its draught because the sarnc is
brought to bear directly upon the plow-bcam in-
stead Of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable all except the wood work being con-
strueted of wrought iron-no ca tings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an adj
vantage over other gang -plows. in striking on
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat Is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
sideways as in other pIows. Better work and
more Of il can be accomplished by the use Of this
Plow than by hand. !,
