WILL GRANT REORGANISE HIS
CABINET

Rumors of Cabinet changes have been
quite frequent of late. For the past two
or three weeks rumOrs have flOated around
that Messrs. Fish, Robson and Boutwell,
would soon retire from the Cabinet. The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Journal of Commerce. thinks that
these reports are more than mere rumors.
There appears to be no doubt at all that
Dir. Fish will shortly resign, but his rcsig-
nation is not expected until aftcr the ad-
journment of the Indiana Legislature. No
one questions the belief that Senator Nor
ton will be appointed in bis place Rep.
resentative Orth can be appointed Senator,
by the Governor Of Indiana, in place of
Mr. Morton. But his appointment will
probably not occur till March. Mr..
Boutwell, is sourcd at everything. He
wants to go. The Pacific Railroad lobby
lists, and all those interested in Pacific
Railroads are after him with a sharp stick,
and Chuckle over the prospect of his
difficulty with Commissioner Plessanton
on the income tax. Mr.. Boutwell,, il is
thought will not be Secretary of the
Treasury five weeks longer. Attorney

The New York papers announce the
death of Mrs. Jane Leonard Martin, aged
ninety-one years, the first lady who went
up the Hudson river in steamboat. The
circumstances of the trip are as follows {:
Her husband was taken sick ia Albany,
and as the symptoms were serious, she
was DESTROYS of reaching him as soon as
possible. In those days passage was
made in small slOops, and was conse-
quently work of time; and the anxious
wife, hearing that a ship propelled by
steam was about TO make its trial trip up
the river with the corporation of New
York on board, and that it was to make
the passage in msryellously short time,
made known to that body the cirCm-
stances in which she was placed, and
asked permission to accompany them. 1t
was at once granted.

PREVIOUS 10 10OU, the Qecennlal INCREASE
had ranged between 32.67 per cent. and
36.45 per cent, degree of uniformity
that has been rather remarkable. During
the last ten years, however, the rate of
increase has fallen to 22.55 per cent, or
less than two-thirds of the rate on the
previous decade. If the usual rate of in
crease had been maintained during the
past ten years, the present population of
the country would have been AZ, 690,S54,
or about 4, 100, 900 greater than is shown
to be the case.
The following table shows that there
are in the United States sixty seven cities
with a population of over 20, 900 inhabi-
tants. Washington, which. in 1860,
stood number fourteen on the list, now
stands number twelve, Louisville,
Albany and Newark having been
outnumbered, while San Francisco has
outstripped the four, and taken its posi-
ton tenth on the list. st. Louis and
Chicago have passed Baltimore, New Or
leans and Cincinnati, and stand fourth and
fifth on the list, while Baltimore, which
stood fourth on the list in 1860, now stands
sixth. In the matter of percentage of
gain, Kansas City, Missouri, is far in the
lead, while New Bedford, in the North,
and Savannah, in the South, are the only
cities which show an actual decrease.
Among the most remarkable examples of
increase in population are Scranton, Pa,
from 9,293, in 1860, to 1892 in 1870,
and Lesvenworth, Kansas, from 1929
to 2O,96O.
In 1860 the aggregate population of
the ten leading cities was 2,708,967 In
1870 the same cities show population of
1892, 466, gain of 933, 479, or an aver
age of "a per cent; and corresponding
increase, which seems more than proba-
bic, for the next decade, would give in
those cities a population of nearly five
millions.
The table will be found very interest
ing to those who desire TO snalyze it, and
convenient to all for reference:

sLoss.
1t will be seen that there has been de-
crease in only two Ststes-Maine and
New Hampshire, and one territory-New
Mexico. The loss in the latteris accounted
for by the fact that the territory has been
divided since the census of 1860 was
taken TO form new territories, and the
small gain in several of the others is &C
counted for in the same way. This is
the first time that the decennial enunera-
ton has shown a decrease in any State,
but between 1850 and 1860 New Hamp-
shire and Vermont remained almsst sta
tiOnaTy, the increase in the former State
being but 2.55 per cent, and in the latter
only 81 per cent. The greatest percent
age of gain is in the new State of Nevada,
which is explained by therush to the gold
mines in that State during the past few
years. The greatest loss is in New Hamp-
shire. The percentage of gain in the
district of Columbia is greater than that

these geographical divisions has varied
very materially. In the Southern States,
the progress has only been 10! per cent;
and in New England only III. In the

notable in Pennsylvania. In the Western
division, the progress has been at the rate

POPULATION AND GROWTH OF
THE UNITED STATES.

The following table was prepared in
the Census Bureau at Washington, and
is nearly complete The only districts
estimated are unimportant ones in two or
three Southern States. The revision of
these returns will necessarily make some
changes, but they will probably not be
material enough to affect the aggregate,
OF the relative rank of the States. In the
following table we give the population of
each State, according to the returns of
1870 and 1860, with the percentage of
increase in the ten years.

NV Teacher will Miss Me

She will hardly miss one"
Yes, she will. She always looks
so sorry if she sees one vacant seat.
/ can see it in her face in a moment
as she looks around the class. She
always asks for absent ones, and
then the next day she goes to see
them. l do not want to make her

teacher asked me about her, ,and said,
Il am so sorry she is not here, for

who lay on the sofa reading,

whether we are all there or not, un-

A Story For Husbands,
D men, / will tell you a story.

o men, / will tell you story.
Once there was a young man, and
he had a young wife and young
child, and a small purse, and no
house at all. So he found secluded
place where they could board, and
yet be quiet by themselves. Thus
his wife was free from the cares Of
housekeeping, and had nothing to
do but to tend her baby. But this
young man, inspired with wisdom
from above-or with the instincts of
long line of gentlemen, which
amounts to the same thing said
within himself, st is too much tor
woman to be constantly with a
baby. Patience and nerve cannot
stand it. She needs variety and
freedom" So he committed what
ninety nine men-and women too
out of hundred would call unpar-
donable extravaganza. With a
small salary, without fortune, with
out household cares, he exercised
the most rigid personal economy,
but-kept nurse to help his wife
take care of the baby.
Well, they have been married q
dozen years, and have, / should
think, about six dozen children.
At least, the moment you step one
foot in the front entry. children
swarm over the baluster and pour
through the doors, and you can
hardly tell whether it is because there
are so many of them, OF there is so
much of what there are.
But the mother of the whole
brood is, at this moment, healthy,
happy, handsome, charming woman; ;
as dignified as queen, as fresh and
merry as a girl, and just as fondly
and foolishly and-if you will par
don the word-spoonily inloNe
with her husband as she was the day
she married him. And he is as
deep in the mud as she is in the mire.
They behave perfectly well in COM
pany, but once you get familiar with
the house, and you are constantly
in danger of surprising them max
ing love to each other in sly corners,
and you have to put on as much
blindness and deafness as if they
were "engaged'' only last week.
Let alone that happy home has
given them such light hearts and
clear brains that they have Jared
like Solomon, and received not only
the happiness they asked for, but
the richness and honor which they
did not ask for.
Go thou and do likewise.-Gaa

"He has said It. I"

Several years ago, when preach
ing for time at a church on the
other side of the Atlantic, my at
tention was attracted by little
girl, who sat. Sabbath after Sabbath,
in the corner pew. She invariably
kept her dark, sparkling eyes fixed
on the minister, indicating an uhdi-
vided attention.
Several times l had determined
to speak 10 this child-worshippel
after the service, but before reaching
her she was always gone. Week
after week l watched her, and found
that like a faithful sentinel she was
ever at her post, manifesting the
same devout interest.
On inquiry / found that she was
not, nor ever had been, a pupil al
the Sabbath school, and further in,
formation proclaimed the fact that
she was a beautiful "lily among

AS a man and woman entered 3

tor saying: ''That is the first tract

tionate farewell.
On another OCCASIONS man stand

for tract, and one was given him
entitled, "None cast out" He said,
Il like that tract; those are the

cheat me out of those promises.
As 1 was on another car, the same
tract was given to me and 1 was

and gave the tract to one of my
patients, and it had more effect
upon him than all l could say to
him."
Some tracts being given to several
young men who were engaged in
earnest conversation, they were re-
ceived with apparent respect and
thoughtfulness. When leaving the
group, one who had been standing a
little apart, cried out aloud, Il am
left out" Immediately the tract,
None cast out" was handed to
him. As soon as he read the title,
he was astonished and delighted,
and said, mo, 1 am not cast out"
and repeated the words at the top of
his voice, II am not cast out. ".
