out of their houses, and none of those
escorting the Orangemen could advance
beyond the lines to give them relief on
| account of the imminent danger that
other shots would be fired by the
treacherous and Infatuated mob, and
that the militia would renew their wild
volleys.
The situation at the crossing OF
Twenty fourth street, where the writer
stood. was terrible. Before the eyes OF
all there lay IL PROSTATE bodies. Two
or three were piled together as they had
fallen. A dead woman was stretched
across a dead man. A man with fear
full wound in his head, which covered
his face with blood, writhed in agony
for some moments, and then slowly
crept to the doorstep and feebly strove
to raise himself upon it, presenting as
he did so full view of his CHASTITY in
juries. An aged workingman, evidently
an Irishman, had received shot in his
arm and sat down upon the step and
desperately faced the troops in the
midst of the firing, while holding his
bleeding arm extended before him. He
remained until relief came, fxedly
glazing in silence at the Orangemen. A
lad crouched against cart-wheel just
beyond the corner of Twenty-fourth
street, appearing to have received some
hurt. The women appeared at the win
dows above, making signs of anguish
and bewilderment, looking alternately
down at the bodies and then at the
troops and policemen. Presently one
and then another of the friends of the
victims stole out and touched them to
see if they were still alive, but soon
fastened within.
The riot was suppressed by this single
volley. The most drunken and despe-
rate of the mob could not be induced to
resume the fight. The city was quiet
at IL o'clock at night and the idea pre-
vailed that the rioting would not be re-
sumed the next day. Forty dead bodies
were at the morgue and others were
known to be at different stations. Fiji
teen persons are known to be MORALLY
wounded.
The following circular was put in cir
culation for signatures IN New York on
the 18th inst:
"In view of the recent, and probable flu
ture events, the immediate organization of a
society to be know as The Protestant
League of America with its headquarters in
New York city, with affiliated societies
throughout the United States, is recon-
mended. For this purpose, an to properly
consider the immediate event that gives rise
to this suggestion, let pubic meetings be
called at once in this city and elsewhere"

German Abandonment of French Fash.
ion

charming way to ring out an old
fashion and ring in new, was that
adopted by some ladies of Berlin with
reference to the chignon. The national
spirit now at white heat in Germany is,
if anything, more ardent among the
women than the men, as indeed it al
ways has been and will be the world
over. So the fair patriots resolve to
reflect more of the German nationality
in their dress, and abandon and hence
forth ignore French fashions, but more
especially the really odious chignon.
Accordingly, the sixty young ladies,
daughters of the wealthiest citizens,
who were selected to welcome the re-
turning army at Brandenburg Gate, had
a meeting in which the question of
their attire was settled. 1t was that of
Margaret in Kaulbachs sketch of her
first meeting with Faust, which has
been thoroughly identified with the
German maiden in all art, and espe-
ciallv familiarlzed of late by the g. Mar
gueritas" of the stage. Two plaits of
their own hair hanging down the back
was to be indispensable, and they were
pledged mutually, and to the municipal
authorities, on no account to use false
hair. These sixty wealthy young ladies
ought certainly to be more than match
for one Empress, and she not so much
of an Empress as she was, and they will
receive the congratulations of the en-
tire world if they carry the day against
false hair.

The Colorado Potato Beetle.

LII any of our readers think that we
devote too much space to discussing
this insect and its treatment, they must
recollect that there are many localities
in which it is a most serious affection.
Everything that throws light upon its
history, or the means of combating the
insect, should be recorded, rs from
present appearances its advent in the
Eastern States is only question of
time. The following note is from
George N. Idner, Gardener and Florist,
indianapolis, Ind His reference to the
old-fashioned potato beetle is interest
ing, but we wish he had sent us speci-
mems, that we might know to what
species he refers. 81 first noticed the
Colorado potato beetle in my garden in
the year 1869; their ravages were great
then, but they have been increasing
very fast since, and some of our garden
ers here have plowed their fields up
this season on account of them. They
do not confine their attacks to the COM
mon potato, but prey upon all the
Solanum family. They are particularly
fond of the eggplant and tomato. 1t
has been almost impossible to raise
vegetable eggs since they appeared, as
they consume not only the foliage but
the stems and stalk. | have doctored
them with only one thing that kills
young and namely, Paris green.
A decoction of quassia chips will kill
the larvae, but not the old beetles.
| think this is the last year of their
reign here, as during the last week the
old-f.shioned potato beetle has been
returning. At first few appeared /;
now there are great numbers, and they
are killing the Colorado beetle by thou
sands. When they meet, the Colorado
bug seems stupefed with terror, and is
easily overcome. Hearth and Home.

THE CENSUS OF 1870.
The Increase of POpuiatiOn-SOme Inter-
esting Statistics.
From the Philadelphia Press, July s.

esCtu& StHClsL1CSs
From the Philadelphia Press, JulyS
We believe that hitherto no publica-
ton has been made of the results of
the census showing the separate num-
bers of the whites and blacks. We
present such tables this morning, which
can be relied on as accurate and official.
They will furnish the thoughtful citizen
with food for reflection and speculation,
and should be carefully preserved. We
have spent some hours in Analysing
these tables and comparing them with
those Of the census of 1860, and with
the following result:
The increase of the aggregate popu-
lation of all the States and Territories
during the ten years is 6,902, 429, and
the rate of increase is above 81 $40 per
cent. The increase of the whole white
population is 6,59l 1913, and the rate of
increase is PA per cent.
The increase of the white population
in the Northern or originally free States
is 5, 1877 ,84S, and the rate of increase is
27.4 per cont.
The crease of the white population
in the Southern States is 1876, POI, and
the rate of increase is 1876 per cent.
The aggregate increase of the b ack
population in the United States is 1885,
1856, and the rate of increase is 7.6.
The increase of the black population
in the Southern States is 1898, and
the rate of increase is 40 per cent
The increase of the black population
in the Northern States is 1912, and
the rate of increase is SO. 7 per cent.
The increase of the whole population
in the territories, including the District
of Columbia, is 1862, and the rate of
increase is 74.9 per cent. This state
ment refers to the Territories which re-
manned in that condition in 1870. Ne
braska and Nevada, which were Terri
tories in 1860, had in the meantime
become States, and are therefore ranked
as such in the tables and in these COM
| parsons.
The increase of the white population
in the Territories is 154,315, and the
rate of increase is 66.5 per cent.
The increase of the black population
in the Territories is 3O,367, and the rate
of increase is 208.9 per cent.
An inspection of the tables will show
that the considerable increase of the
white population of the Southern States
has taken place chiefly in those on the
northern border of that section that is
to say, in Delaware, Maryland, Ken
lucky, and Missouri, and that diminu-
ton of the number of blacks has taken
place in these Border States, except in
Maryland, where the increase is slight.
The greatest increase in the number
of blacks in the South has taken place
in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas,
Texas, Florida, and Alabama. In the
two Virginias, compared with the old
State, there is exhibited loss of 18,086
blacks. In Georgia, also, there is fall
ing off of blacks, and considerable in
crease of whites. Other comparisons
will suggest themselves to the intelli-
gent reader who has a copy of the CEN
Sus of 1860 at hand:

Midsummer MaIadies.

The hot solar rays that ripen the harvest generate
many distressing diseases. If the liver be at all pre-
disposed to Irregularities this is the season in which
bilious attacks may be anticipated. weak stomach,
too is weakened in the months, and the loss
of vitality through the pores by excessive perspraton
is so great. that a wholesome tonic, combining also
the properties of dffusive stimulant and gentle ex
hilerant, is in many necessary to health. anu
under no circumstances should be dispensed with by
the sickly and debiitated. OF all the preparations
intended thus to refresh, sustain and fortfy the hui

Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Btters. They have
been weighed in the balance of experience and not
found wanting; have been recommended from the

able quarters stand, after twenty years trial. at the

tricts place the most implicit confidence in the
preparaon-a confidence that is increased every year
by the results of it's operation.
As bitters so called, of the most perncious charac-
ter, are springing up like fungi every side, the
public is hereby forewarned against the dram-shop
frauds Ask for Hostetters Btters see that the label

NOTHING strikes the visitor to San
Francisco more forcibly than the high
price of fish in that market, in view of
their great abundance and variety in
San Francisco Bay and vicinity. This
is said, however, to be due to the exist
ence of very powerful combinations
among the fishermen, to maintain prices
at such figure as suits them best, and
to prevent fish from coming into the
market excepting under arrangements
made by themselves. In the latest quo,
tations of retail prices before us, iioun-
ders are given 20 cents pound, soles 80
cents, turbot 40 cents, halibut 40 cents,
and tomcod Is cents. The lowest prices
are II cents per pound for fresh sal
mon, for smelts, for anchoviec, and
5 for sturgeon. The prices of other ar
ticles in that mark ct appear to be more
reasonable as, for instance, 20 cents a
pound for turkeys, IS cents each for
ducks, So per pair for geese, rs cents
each for rabbits, and II for squirrels.
CLANS are so cents per hundred, Cali
tornia butter IS cents per pound, eggs
35 cents per dozen, California hams Is
cents per pound, and strawberries to
cents per pound, etc.

A Slight Mistake.
From the New Orleans Picayune


A well-known minister, walking
along the street few days since, met a
lady for whom he had recently per-
formed the marriage service. Desiring
to renew the acquaintance (for the
lady had interested him greatly at
the time), he accosted her with the re-
mark:
Madam, did l not have the pleas
ure of marrying you a few days since p
g l was married few days since,
STRIP
ayes, l thought Twas not mistaken ;
| married you"
Indeed! well, l thought my hus-
band was a much younger man than
you are but have not seen enough of
him to make his acquaintance thor
oughly. By the way, my dear, my
chignon is getting shabby /; please give
me some money to buy waterfall"
Evidently this was more than the
minister bargained for, and with hasty
bow, accompanied by the remark, " No,
you are not the lady-I'm mistaken"
he took his leave.

A SPIRIT PIcTuRE.-A Fall River
Mass photographer was called on a
recent Sunday to take some pictures OF
a deceased child. The latter was placed
in chair, and over it was arranged an
arch of roses, with one sprig hanging
down from the center. 1t is related by
an eyewitness that several pictures were
taken, and in the sixth, partly obscur-
ing the pendent sprig, appeared clearly
defined the face of the child's mother,
who had been dead several years. Con-
siderable local excitement is said %
have resulted from this spiritual pho
tograph," if such it was.

saying to the youngest Of them, "There,
now, you 60 over to Sarah's house and
stop there little while, and talk as fast
as ever you can, and then you come
back and tell me what she says about
me, and then I'll talk about her and
then you will go and tell her all ] say,
and then we'll get as mad as
hornets, and won't speak when
we meet; just as our mothers do,
you know; and thatll be such fun,
won't it?" Hadn't these little mis-
chiefs lived to some purpose and were
they not close observers and apt
scholars, charmingly trained for the
chief business of life in small neigh
borhood?

A COUPLE of girls put a bull-frog into
the hired mans bed to see if they
couldn't make him talk. Davie threw
it out of the window and never said a
single word. Soon after he put half a
bushel of chestnut burrs into the girls
bed. About the time he thought they
would make the least shadow, Dave
went to the door and ratified the latch
furiously. Out went the candle, and in
went the girls; but they did not stick,
though the burrs did. Calling to them,
he begged them to be quiet, for he only
wanted to know if they had seen any
thing of that pesky bull-frog. He'd
give two dollars to find it.
