to be beautiful. The grand secret of fe-
male beauty is health, the power to cat, d.

A MACHINE WITH BRAINs.-The
Washington correspondent OF the
New York Times says:
The census office has large force
employed in tabulating the age and
sex schedules. A tallying machine,
invented by Mr.. c. w. Seaton, lately
in the census office, but now Chief
clerk of the Pension Bureau, has
been found to be of great service IN
this work, and has been gradually IN
troduced till nearly 100 are now III
operation. Daily records of work are
kept, and it appears that with the
machines twice the amount is accom-
plished by the same number OF clerks
that can be done without them.
Yesterday in one of the divisions
IO9, 900 names were tailed by forty
five men with the machines, and some
of the men were operating them for
the first time. The machine is very
simple and inexpensive, and will adj
vance the completion of the census
work by several months.
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-02-10
The New York Herald says editori

ally:
After the storm in teapot in New
Orleans comes the congressional in
vestigating committees Our special
dispatch will convey a clear and forci-
BILE idea of the situation, as far as it
can be made clear. The followers of
Governor Warmotb feel themselves
securely intrenched in their position,
and laugh all the efforts being made
by the Carterites to scorn. Although
the business people do not take much
interest in the fight as it stands, yet
there is so much Of the prosperity and
future of Louisiana wound up in the
quarrelsthat its details will be found
interesting. The committee will take
up the acts of the United States of
ficials there, and if necessary will pro-
coed to rake up that. which no one
seems to have hit on yet-namely, the
cause of the quarrel.

MARK TWAIN ON SENATOR NYE.--
The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing paragraph about Senator Nye,
as reported by Mark Twain in re-
cent lecture /: Mr.. Twain said that he
wanted to speak well of Governor
Nye here in New York where the Gov
ernor belonged, and he would say that
he was real father to those Nevada
Indians. He gave them, without re,
gard to their sex or age blankets and
hoopskirts. You could see an Indian
chief with string of backing boxes
round his neck, and over his red blan-
ket four or five of those hoopskirts,
walking the streets as happy as a
clam, with his hands sticking out OF
the Stats. And yet" continued the
lecturer, notwithstanding all the eff
forts and civilizing Kindness OF the
good Governor, these Indians did not
step out of their savage condition
they were just as degraded as if they
had never seen hoopskirt."
