Onr Foreign Population.

Mr.. De Bow, after great labor, fixes
the number of foreigners and their de-
scendants at 11,112 662, and of white
Americans, descended from residents in
the country in 1870, at 22,323,3S3. The
population tables of the ninth census
partially confirm the correctness of these
results Table four gives 10,SO2, ,0l5 as
the number of inhabitants having one or
both parents of foreign birth, while the
number of foreign-born is but 5,556, ,546.
Mr.. De Bows number is perhaps a mil.
lion too small. Twenty years ago, by
the census of 1850, the whole foreign
born population numbered but 2,244 .6O2,
but the increase has been very large
since 1850

ADJEcrIvEs.-We clip the following
/ from an exchange, to show what san be
done without the use OF adjectiveS, which
now appear in nearly every sentence writ
ten or spoken;
I've write this article for the purpose
of giving rest to our adjectives. We have
used them so much in trying to keep pace
with the times, that they are beginning to
mean less, and we wish them to recover
strength before we write more. Perhaps
we cannot expect to do this favor for all at
once Those whose office it is to define
and point out, make no show, but are al
ways ready to do duty, like some farmers
horses, which nobody admires for beauty
or speed, yet which p!od on, day after day,
and do the bulk of the work. These, of
course, can not have a vacation unless we
do; but those that sound, that give gloss
and CLEAN and glitter TO descriptions, our
Longfellows and Bassotts, must have rest.
For there may come a race by and by.
Visions of loveIiness or grandeur beyond
what we have already un lertaken to des-
cribe, may bless our eyes, aud then how
shall We picture them if our adjectives
have spent their force over affairs without
interest LongtelIoWS should not ploW.
Were we given to dependency, we
should fear that the words now used in de-
lineating whatever commands admiration,
or awe, viii soon wear out,
leaving no language Of light or color TO
picture our ideas. But We remember that
makers of words still live, aud fnd COM
fort in passages which have no superiors
in beauty and sublimty. Consider the
lilies of the field, how they grow; they toll
not, neither do they spin; and yet l say
into you that Solomon, in all his glory,
vas not arrayed like one of these And
3od said, let there be light; and there
vas light Who has inspiration, can do
without adieetives.''

A UNIQUE BUFFALO HUNT-Last Sun
day, while the citizens of Sidney were
quietly enjoying the repose afforded them
by the Sabbath, drove of eight butflIoes
come galloping over the rolling hills, and
entered the town, and took a spin around
the streets. In less than ten minutes the
alarm had become so general that every
man, woman and child in the place were
armed with shot guns, rifles, revolvers,
and pitch-forks, while at the barracks
every soldier was on duty at once, and
prepared to meet and vanquish the foe,
or die in the attempt In fact, it was a
question of buffalo meat or no buffalo meat
with them. The enemy was outfanked,
and detachment of one buffalo became
separated from the main body of the mon
archs of the plains, and was driven inside
the post Then the grand hurrah began
in dead earnest The soldiers few around
the buffalo in the enclosure, as did the
gladiators of old around the infuriated
bulls in the amphitheatre. Colonel Dud-
lev. the eommandant of the post, acted as
Chief Director of the thrilling sport which
lasted some time. The buffalo was finally
eornered and killed, afier reeeiv ng shots
too numerous to mention, and after having
a bomb-shell thrown down his throat and
exploding. Music. too, lent its charms to
the thrilling scene as a couple of Italian
barpers. who travel on the Union Pacific,
we're engaged in drumming their instru
ments during the hunt
In the meantime the seven butfaloes in
the town were having a red-hot time. |
One of them effected an entrance into the |
of Rumsey's hotel, and broke |
several chairs in attempting to sit down at
the table to make a square meal off of
antelope steak. Getting his back up at
the toughness of the steak, he overturned |
/ table and smashed the crookery- ware.
Information had in the meantime been |
convened to Mr.. James Rumsey, who was
,ut on the warpath, and he returned to
urn the intruder out, or else serve him up
IN the half she'll. Just as Mr.. Rumsey /
entered one door, Mr.. Buffalo ran out OF |
another. Rumsey levelled his gun, but it
would not 90 off, and the buff4lo escaped |
ind Joined the remaining six, who then
nrned tail on the town, and cantered over
he hills and far away, after having
mashed several windows, creating an in /
ense excitement, and playing the deuce
,eaerally.-Omzha Bee.

contested one of federal action, warranted
alone by military necessity.
HIS generous and benevolent nature was
gladdened at the close by the result of his
proclamation, which gave freedom to four
millions in bondage, and contributed in no
small degree to the suppression OF the rebel
lion and to the preservation and perpetua-
ton of Il 10 Union. The fruition of this
measure, adopted under imperious necessity
and with responsibilities and sOlemnity
that few can appreciate, cheered the last
days of the extraordinary man, to whom
alone belongs the credit, as he assumed the
consequence of the act, and whose untimely
death the nation will ever have cause to de-
plore. Love for his country, its constitu-
tion. and the Union which he had been
chosen to guard, was the controlling infu-
enee that governed him in one of the most
important and responsible measure ever de.
creed by chief magistrate or ruler.

The INDIANS OF ALAsKA.-Thera is as
yet woeful lack of correct information
concerning the territory of Alaska. For
instance, 1t has been asserted that there
are only ten thousand Indians in the whole
territory. Some of the Russian inhabi-
tants who have travelled almost throughout
the length and breadth of Alaska, say that
there are at least thirty-fve thousand Indi-
aus aud Eskimo in Alaska. There is rea-
son to believe that there is large Indian
population, even if the exact figures can not
be obta ned. There have te9n no wars of
any consequence among them; and since
the smallpox epidemic. in 1888, there has
been no sickness Of grave character TO
lessen their number. Several of the Indi-
an tribes including the KoIoshes, who
have their village just outside the Alaskan
capital, are polygamists.
