80 he New York VOID, AugusL 30 j

Killed by Indians are Included in ahOai-
cides."
From the New York World, August 80
What purpOrts to be a record of the
houicides in the United States for the
wear ending May 81, 1870, is put forth
by the Census Office at Washington,
which, after doing away for months,
mas at length walked up Ia a lively
manner, and daily sends forth a new
set of figures TO be bUtchered by tele-
graBh out OF whatever original truth
might have been in them. The hon.
icides OF the United States, we are
told number 2052 for the term named,
I56 Of the slain persons having been
women or girls, and 1869 men or boys.
In the territories 203 hOmicidessare re-
ported, and those killed by Indians
put down at l55, leaving, 1649 OF the
hOmicides occurring in the States.
Oae fifth OF ali these are set down to
the account of Texas, something
which almost demonstrates the
worthlessness OF this purported table,
for had any one State been the scene
of 50 horrible and widespread an as
sassinaiiOn, the whole country would
have rung with IL long before the Cen
sus Once had counted up its figures.
Utah, too, we find set down as having
had but one murder committed with
in its borders in year, and not
single person killed by Indians, while
Vermont is set down as having had
sixty-three hOmieides CT men and ten
of women in that time. Who believes
such ssstatisticsv as these? Evidently
-,
It's slumbers, has poured forth some
figu es, it hardly knew what, as cor
reetlv representing the violent
deaths In the United States ''dUr-
inc the year ending May 81, lS7O.p
We quote the exact language of
the pgfDOrted table in order
10 show the haste and carelessness
yyith which it has been hustled out
mon the public. For the ten years
ending May 81, 1870, Is meant, for
Vhat has the Census Ofice to do with
yearly statistics2 In 1862 some anal
Syous statistics Of the period from 1850
10 1850 were published, and it there
aDuasrs that the homicides were lO45.
n ak us now 20 believe that IN one
wear yye All but double those figures
foT ten wears IS absurd. IL would be
rad enough to ask US to credit the pre-
tended showing which asserts that
the ten wears from 1860 70 1870 show
twice as many homicides in the
United States from 1850 to 1850.
To gain the relative proportions we
must exclude from the present show
IRg the 155 killed by Indians, that
item not having been recorded ten
wears ago. This leaves the hOmicide5
Of this census 1887, or $50 in excess OF
those Of the last. Allowing the same
rate Of increase for homicide as the
census shows for population, 4. G. q
Der cent, we find an absolute increase
IT 687 hOnicides, even on the careles
sho wing lust made. Considering how
\ great war has occurred in the past
decade to harden men 20 blOOdshed;
now the Pacific railroad has spanned
the continent, dOtting the tar West
with savage border villages In rank
pr0fusiOn; and how the Southern
country has had all civil government
swept away again and again by Con-
gressional action, it is amazing that
the number of homicides should not
be greater.

| From Cape May Letter by George Alfred
Townsend
Nothing is so pretty as to see the
| engaged 70 ks part on Monday morn
ing, the fowler to 90 back to business
for whole week, the ensnered to stay
at the Cape counting the days of their
absence. To see this scene you must
get up at six of the clock, for it is the
very early train that the young man
| of business must take. The young
man In his duster, a little dragged out,
slips down with his valise, and at the
foot of the stairs, spying the inexora-
| BILE omnibus, halts minute to let the
bird catch up to him. Also, a little
worn with early rising and late last
evening, the bird hops down stairs in
/ her yellow plumage, and formally
shakes the young man by the hand I;
/ and as he recedes, and turns once at
| the threshold to look back with that
glance which is the respectful yearn-
| ing Of all that he knows or hopes for,
/ IL meets, already fixed, the birds
| farewell, poured out of her eyes like
a note of melody. That look is the
loving solaee of the week, the one
ration on which love must march for
six DAYS till Saturday brings another
rendezvous. 1t is the pledge, better
than oath or affirmation, that neither
| is to be forgotten by the Other, although
the true parting, as we all know, took
place elsewhere, as above stairs-per-
| hRps in the room of the old bird, who
graciously assented, and lived back
thirty years in the sound of her
daughters kiss.
The three fond periods of life are the
first consciousness of love returned,
the summer last before marriage,
when all the course Is smooth, and,
next, the first months OF the first baby,
when the man feels little queer and
the woman is perfectly self-possessed
again.
The woman engaged fully and dis
tinetly In love Is the highest type of
human adelity. See this one, aban-
doned to q week Of the longest eS1ntti
possible to her nature, the absence Of
her afianced; a man would perhaps
balance it by the violence OF his pleas
ures, and smother expectation in gay
ETY.; like q vestal who knows not the
day nor the hour when her master
cometh, the engaged woman becomes,
for her sake, the subject of her own
exalted respect. Her body and soul,
her walk and conversation, are purer
In her eyes because they have been
promised away. She draws around
herself the circle OF the solemn church,
and all society falls beyond the line;
but one man can cross II. The beach,
the ball, the promenade ethereaifTe,
and, no logger peftaken In r0mp and
volatility, find her still higher ab0ve
reproaeh each Saturday snccessiyely
| tfll at last, when the season ends, and
with It the last campaign Of her beau
l u, she abdicates, Ike ZenObia, with
out al accusation, 8 secret, or la
/ ment. A woman In love knows when
her mind is made upi a man THINKS
he does.

Slavery In Cuba.

Even the memorials of men so distinguished
as NJ. Guizot and M. Laboulaye for the aboli-
ton of slavery in Cuba and Porto Rico can
have no practical results. The King of Spain
is almost as powerless in the Spanish colonies
as the King Of Dahomey, and especially on
such questions as the question Of slavery in
Cuba. The prosperity OF the island depends
upon cheap and forced labor while Spanish
dominion continues, and Spanish cupidity will
not permit abolition in Cuba either now or
hereafter if such consummation can be pre-
vented. Zelueta is now in Spain seeking
the reappointment of Concha as Captain
General merely as means of fostering
slavery and secretly reopening the slave
trade. Cargoes of slaves occasionally arrive
off the island now, and, in spite of all that
the Spaniards soy to the contrary, they are
landed. There can be no doubt that the
slave ship which was reported off the island
early in the summer accomplished it's wicked
purposes. The Gradual Emancipation act,
which was to 60 into operation last January,
is dead letter. There is not yet the first
slave capable of labor who has been freed
under its operations. While the UHited States
continue to spend one hundred and ten mil
lions of dollars annually for Cuban sugars,
produced by system of labor antagonistic to
our own, the Cubans and Spaniards will hold
on to their forced labor. Guizot and Labou-
laye would have shown more wisdom if they
had asked England and America to put a stop
to system which is disgrace to civiliza-
tioA. Their petition to the helpless King of
the Spaniards would be dignifed if we were to
call it farce

The Dangers of the Fcrrfcs.

The inquests and investigations into the
cause of the Westfeld explosion still continue,
though little new matter is being brought for
ward in evidence. AS new cause for uneasi-
ness one expert, evidently an intelligent and
reliable gentleman, said it was generally con-
coded that to sound boiler with light ham
mer is better test than hydrostatic pressure.
Superintendent BREASTED said that he would
rather have man for engineer who had learned
his trade as fireman, and that he knew men
to take charge of steamships who had been
blacksmiths. The inspection of all the ferry
boats, including the remaining ones on the
Staten Island line, is now going on, and before
certificates are granted we would like to have
the riddle solved, Is there no better way of
inspecting? Hydrostatic pressure is evidently
faulty test, because, while it may indicate
high capacity in the boiler for resisting steam,
the very test itself so Injuries the boiler
that it would not probably indicate near so
much at second test made Immediately after.
In other words, it shows the steam pressure
which the boiler might have stood before the
test was made, but it renders the boiler unfit
to stand 1t afterward.
AS to the engineers, we think the inspectors
might also inspect them more thoroughly
before certifying TO them. If an engineer is a
mere machine himself, capable barely of pulling
one lever, hosting another and scanning the
various gauges; if he is 80 ignorant as to call
vacuum foul air and know not the definition of
maximum, then the company should be
required to teach him the theory of explosions
or else get other men. 1t is the high price of
educated engine drivers that deters ferry Coil
panies from putting reasonable animal
rather than an automaton to control this
powerful giant of steam The Astoria and
Weehawken ferries have been inspected by the
HERALD Commissioner, and so far as safety
is concerned, they might as well be so many
nitro-glycerine cans.
