CENSUS MAPS.

From the Washington Star, we learn
that there has been for some time in course
of preparation, at the Census Office, a
series of maps exhibiting some of the more
interesting features of the census. For in
stance, there is map of the United States
and Territories, showing the distribution of
the German population. lnlocalities where
there is less than certain per cent.-say,
five per cent. of the population-the map
is left uncolored. In those places where
the per centage of the German is little
higher, the fact is indicated by a slight red
dish tint of coloring, and the coloring in
creases in strength with the increased
proportion of the Germans. There is on
the margin key to the meaning of the
different tints and the percentage each in
dicates, SO that one sees at glance where
in the country Germans have mainly
gathered, and where they are very few.
The distinctions are SO minutely and
thoroughly made that even small German
settlements in the Western States and Ter
ritores are exhibited. Maps showing the
distribution of the colored popula-
ton Of the country in similar
manner have been prepared, and Others
are IN contemplation. Such, for example,
as will show graphically the distribution o
the wheat and other crops. These maps
will be brought to the attention of Con
gress and plan presented to secure then
publication. One of these maps shows a
a glance the results of days of study o
long census tables, and enables many per
sons to comprehend facts which they never
would or could learn from examination 0
the printed tables of the report.

She has often debased her coins, which
was only another mode of reputation.
Massachusetts, that sacred spot where the
Puritans landed and infused their high
sense of financial and all other integrity, at
one time in her history, repudiated eleyen-
twelfths of her public debt, paying only
one-twelfth to her creditors. Our own
continental Congress wiped out $500, 0O0,-
900, without an effort to pay it after the
war. France, Spain, Portugal, Grccce, and
a dozen smaller powers. have repeatedly
repudiated their public debts.
The cry of "repudiation," therefore, as
to our own debt-which implies a perpet-
ual bondage Of the laboriag classes TO The
6oaahollers, and which was conceived in
sin and brought forth by them in ini4uity
is no such stalking bugbear as to
Brighten us out of just conception OF the
obligation imposed to payit. The working
men, Taxpayers, wealth-producers-pool
men, who, more than any others, have tt
shoulder and carry the huge, weighty
back breaking incubus, public debt--ar'
those who should inquire into the chaiac
ter of these obligations I; and the time il
coming when they wiH do SO, and tha
right earnestly. The long night of adver
sity-the years of crushing taxation AM
more crushing poyerty-may then speedil.

WESTERN LuNATIC ASYLUM.

The report of the Board Of Directors
and Medical Superintendent of the Western
Lunatic Asylum, at Staunton, embraces
the statistics, in tabular form, of this in
stitution for the two years, ending Septem-
Der 30th, 1871. The report is admirably
gotten up, and shows that the institution is
under able and competent management.
Amongst other details Of interest, it gives
the number of patients under treatment in
the institution, on.the Both of September,
1863, as three hundred and twenty-four-
l76 males, and 14s females. The number
admitted since that time, or during the
last two years, is one hundred and seven
teen, of which seventy-two were males
and forty-iive females. OF these fifty
eight were discharged as recovered, nine
as much improved, four as improved, three
as unimproved, and one eloped while the
number of deaths amounted to twenty
four-leaving in the institution, on the day
to which the report is made up, three
hundred and forty-two patients-lsS of
whom were males and l54 females.
1t appears from the report that the ca
pacity of the Asylum is inadequate for the
accommodation of many OF those for whom
application is made for admission, and that
the institution is obliged to discriminate in
favor of recent cases Of insanity over those
of more chronic character. 1t appears
further, that where the probabilities OF BEN
eft are considered about equal, the poor
are received in preference to those whose
pecuniary means will allow of their OBJ.

This is as it should be, and is no doubt il

IT is believed that our mineral resources
never showed more satisfactory results
than at the present time, notwithstanding
there is so much complaint about the prln-
ciple of protection. For instance, our to-
tai production of copper in 1871 amounted
to ~ 900, 900 pounds. The surplus at the
beginning of the year was 100000
pounds, and at its close $500, 000--show-
ing that, notwithstanding the protection af-
forded the American producer, the COLI

sumption was actually greater by 5000, 900
pounds than the domestic supply.
During the past year one single county
in Upper Michigan, far away from the cen-
trail markets of the country, yielded Sl3,-
$40 tons of iron ore, and 81, 225 tons of
charcoal pig iron. The ore from these
mines was also shipped in large quantities
to other manufacturing ports of the coun-
try. The mineral statistics for the year
show the increased and rapidly increasing
importance of our great iron and copper in-
terests, to the people of the country.

(FAMILY FAEORITE) WEED SEWING-MA-
CHINE, we will state some of the reasons why
we think we justified in claiming 1t to be the
BEST:
BECAUSE, before being offered to the people,
it was tested by able sewing-machinists, and by
them so pronounced;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
Paris Exposition in 1867;
BECAUSE, it took the first prize at the great
four weeks contest between sewing machines at
the Baltimore (Maryland) Institute in 1869;
BECAUSE, it will do what any other first
class lockstitch will do
BECAUSE, it will do what most of them can
not do We say this without disparagenent to
the merits of other machines;
BECAUSE, in the five years it has been before
the people, the sale has been so rapid that the
company have been unable to supply the de-
mand, thus leaving Virginia and a great part OF
the country unsupplied; and last, but not least,
to give n womans reason,
BECAUSE, it is just q little darling" and SO
easy to learn.
