THE cities of New York, Philadelphia
and Brooklyn maintain the same relative
rank as to population that they did in 1860
There has been col siderable shifting OF
places, however, among those that now
constitute the remainder OF the twenty
foremost cities Of the Union:
During the last decade st. Louis has
ascended the scale from the eighth to the
fourth.
Chicago. In a similar proportion, changes
from the ninth TO the fifth.
Baltimore, which In 1850 was the fourth
retrogrades to the sixth.
Boston pursues the same direction, from
the fifth To the seventh.
Cincinnati retires step, from the sew.
enth TO the eighth.
New Orleans falls back from the sixth
TO the ninth.
San Francisco, taking q noble forward
lean, vaults from the fifteenth to the tenth
Buffalo lags behind, from the tenth TO
the eleventh.
Washington makes stride from the
fourteenth To the twelfth.
Newark, New Jerseys thriving metrop'
oils. drops, nevertheless, from the eleventh
TO the thirteenth.
Louisville, twelfth In rank In 1860, IL
now assigned to the fourteenth.
Cleveland, four steps forward, mounts
from the ninett enth to the fifteenth.
Pittsburgh alone retains the same Yela
tive rank now q then, the sixteenth.
Jersey City rises from the twentieth to

It was the turning point of his life
Such was his conduct and such his pro
gress In study that his teacher advised
him to 60 on and prepare himself for col.
lege. It was great surprise to his
parents, but at the urgent solicitation of
Mr.. Towne they gave their consent, and
he was placed under the instruction of q
clergyman in the vicinity of his home.
At length, he entered college, and passed
through the course with great success.
justifying at every step the confidence and
hope Of his best friend. In subsequent
life he rose from one degree of eminence
and usefulness to another, until at last the
whole world was familiar with tn. name
and fame of the great statesman of New
York, William L. Marcy.
Long years after he had left his school
day haunts, and when he had come to de-
served eminence, he visited Boston, and
was the guest of the then Governor of the
old Bay State. Among the distinguished
men who were invited to meet him was
General Salem Towne When the Gov.
ernor saw Marcy and Towne greet each
other as old friends, he very naturally ex.
pressed a pleasurable surprise that they
knew each other SO well. "Why!' said

need not say that the teacher, who has SO
long survived the illustrious pupil, is
proud to remember that he is "the man

To Judge the Quality Of Honey.

TINS is an interesting question, and one,
we believe not very generally understood.
Honey, Of course, Is judged mainly by it,
color; but owing TO the fact that there IL
often very great difference in the color
of the comb, and the additional fact that
bees often put white honey IN dark combs,
and vics ysrsa, 1t is manifest that very great
care must be exercised in taking into ac-
count both the comb and the honey. The
proper way to Judge honey IL TO strain It
into glass Jars. You can then readily
Judge of its color. But thin there are q
least two other qualities to be considered
thickness and flavor. In judging Of it,
thi kness, 1t is necessary for the Judge to
know whether that quality was impaired

The Alleged Indian Frauds.

WHAT JUDGE WEIGHT SAYS ABOUT 1T.
The Patriot of this morning prints the follow
ing extracts from letter received from Mr.. j.
w. Wright in reference to the charges of frauds
against him in connection with the payment OF
bounty to the Indian Union soldiers:
at is charged that frauds were committed in
the collection of the bOunties of the Creek
Cherokee and Seminole Indian Union solulefs
and that 1 participated in their perpetratiOn
As the charge has nor been made in a shane TO
enable me to resort to the courts, my only re-
course is TO pronounce It false and malicious
and the person originating it as a liar and a
seoundrel. L acted as the attorney for the In
dian soldiers named, transacted their business
honestly and fairly, and, instead OF making eff
forts to prevent this subject from taking an
active FORM as charged, court investigation
and defy the malice of the scoundrel who has
occasiOned the necessity of this card"
The Secretary of the Interior desires it to be
stated that he had nothing whatever to do with
the publication of the charges against Mr..
Wright. He says that a rigid investigation is
now in progress, and when the report is made it
will be given to the public. Until that time he
prefers 10 express no opinion as to the guilt or
innocence of Judge Wright.
