THE GREAT Towns OF GERMANY
The results of the late census, 50 tar as
they are already known, seem to point
even more than the preceding ones to the
rapid growth of great towns in Germany.
During the war of liberation, Berlin,
which had then 1877, 900 inhabitants, was
the only town in Prussia with popula-
tion of more than 100000. Berlin has
now 82S, 900 inhabitants, and besides the
capital, Prussia has ten cities with pop
ulation of 100000 in round numbers or
upwards. They are /: Bresau, 200, 900 ;
Elberfeld Barmen, 100000; Cologne,
100000; Konigsberg, 1l2,0O0; Magde-
burg, with its suburbs Neustadt, SUDDEN
berk and Buckau, 40, 900 Hanover, 1885,
600; Frankiort-on- Main, with Bocken-
helm and Borkheim, l04, 600; Dantzick,
100, 600 F.; Stettin, 81 200, and Altoona, 95,
900. In the rest of Germany there are
four cities which have population ex-
ceeding 100000, viz: Hamburg, 240, 900
Munich, 100, 900 Dresden, III 900 and
Leipsic, 107 900 while four have nearly
reached that figure, viz Stuttgart, 02,
600; Nuremburg, $1,000; Bremen, 80,-
900; and Strasburg, $4,000. Besides
the above mentioned cities, Prussia con-
tains seventeen towns with more than
$4,000 inhabitants, which, according to
the new regulations, will therefore each
form an indepndent administrative circle.
Among these are Aix-la- Chapelle, SO, 900;
Dusseldorf, S0,0 900; Crefeld, 10000; Es-
sen, 45, 900 Duisburg, 30 900 Wiesbad-
en-, 200; Cassel, A, 900 Halle, So, 600
Erfurt, $4,000; Posen, 10000; Elbing,
10000; Frankfort Oder, 1000; Pots
dam, AZ, 900 Dortmund, A 900, and Cor
litz. 10000. From the above it appear.
that Prussia contains twenty-six cite:
which enjoy Independent administrative
rights in the fullest measure, and which
altogether include nearly 5000, 900 inhab-
itants, or about one-eighth of the entire
population of the kingom.

AN Iowa PRAYER.--A letter from
Des Moines, Iowa, gives the following
synopsis of the Chaplain's prayer one
morning, in the Iowa Legislature He
asked, among other things, that God
would enlighten the minds of the meDs-
bers to an appreciation of the greatness
of our State, and that they might make
liberal appropriation for a new capitol.
He told the Lord that but one more vote
was needed, and asked that good sense
might be given some one, so that that
one vote should be obtained. Then he
told the Lord Of the boundless resources
and wealth, and beauty of Iowa, and
asked him if such State was not able TO
build new State House. He thanked
God that this General Assembly had
seen fit to propose an amendment TO the
Constitution so as to allow women TO
vote and hold Office, and he prayed that
this General Assembly might prepare
nice building for the ladies when they
come up to take their seats as law-mak-
ers.

WHO WILL TRY HIM9
A Dark RECORD Of Crime and \.

A Dark Record Of Crime and Murder.
About three weeks ago officer Carter, OF
Harrisburg, Ky, arrested atShaker's Ferry,
young man under the aliases of Legs,
Wilson, Bryant, Lee and Jones, TIVE nty-six
years of age and supposed to he one of the
parties engaged in the Columbia (Ky.)
bank robbery. In this connection we would
state Detective Larry Ryan, CT this city,
has been for years after the prisoner, for
whose apprehension there are not few re-
wards. he had located just before his ar
rests since which he has obtained a requisi-
ton from Gov. Brown upon Gov. Leslie,
OF Kentucky, by the laws of which State,
the accused cannot be delivered to the au-
thorities of another State, so long as there
exist circumstantial evidence of his being a
particeps criminis to any transgres-
sion in Kentucky. From Detective
Ryan We learn that Legs once
lived in Kentucky and deserted his wife
In Bourbon county, Kentucky, last month,
leaving her in abject poverty and misery
since then she has disclosed much as to the
former life of her unworthy husband, whose
lie since he was sixteen years of age has
been one of frightful crime, stained with
many murders, numerous thefts and count
less roooerles. Being enamOred of a young
and beautiful Bourbon county lady, be was
about to marry her when his fond dream of
love was ruthlessly broken by his wife's dis
closures, which led to his arrest and incar-
ceratiOn. Legs to certain knowledge has
killed two men in Georgia, and one in this
State, committed thefts and robberies in
Vulnerable, practieing horse thieving in the
Vicinities of Nashville, in Knox and other
counties of the State. In officer Carter's
hands are acquisitions from Georgia and
Tennessee, awaiting service upon the pris-
oher, who has been closely pursued by de-
tective Ryan for long while, and will
probably not escape legal penalty.

NORTH CAROLINA.

In view of the extraordinary exertions
put forth by the Administration in the Old
North State, concentrating the strength of
every department of government upon that
one field, no Radical majority less than
10000 would have sufiiced to affect Waver-
ing public sentiment, Or to check in the
least the grand general rush to the Greeley
standard throughout thel land. With all our
Dispatches mist of doubt still hovers about
the result of Thursdays election, but
enough is already developed to prove that,
if Grantism has saved itself, it is only by
the skin of Its teeth. Indeed, the quiet
persistence of the Radicals claiming the
State, in the face of Democratic exuber-
anee over certain victory, suggests an
ugly possibility. 1t looks as if the Conser-
vatives were figuring on the uOtes actually
polled, while their opponents are coolly
waiting for the official count. For it must
be remembered that all the election ma
chinery is in the hands Of Grants bench
men, and the peoples victory may be
smothered into Nspoleonic plebiScite.

few of the writer's of the age, and who
treats his subject in manner at once IA
cinating and instructive. The book should
be in every school room, and in every libra
ry in the United States. It.is the His
tory of the country, its unnamed
body and its pervading spirit; a
Vdde Meclu9l to both student and states
man; necessity to every one who wishes
to know what has been done, and why it
has been done, by those who made, and
those who have administered the govern
ment Of these States; to every school-room,
that the young may learn the true princi-
pies OF the government which was institu-
ted by their forefathers, and grow ZIP con-
stltuents worthy of good representatives.

earth, and with its fiery breath whitening

Without having conferred with Gen.
Johnston or heard one word from him,

Johnston is one of Natures noblemen, and
would never consent to degrade himself by
the utterance Of any such sentiment. He may
be opposed to Mr.. Greeley's election, but
if he is, We venture the assertion that he
bases that opposition on higher grounds
