CURIOSITIES OF THE CENSUS

All the census returns are often very
properly denominated reports as they
are the answers made to the canvassers
without careful verifcation by the lat
ter. Yet they are probably true in the
great majority of cases. Claims Of re-
markable longevity are peculiarly likely
to be exaggerated, especially in the
cases of ignorant people. Still there is
doubtless an approximation to correct
ness in the official statement that in
1870 there were 1886 men and 2,236
women in the United States one hundred
years old orl upward. OF this total
number of $500 centenarians in popu-
lation of 35,5SS,371, 964 were whites,
81 Indians, and ,537 colored. In re-
gard to the alleged longevity of many Of
the latter, we should be inclined to
make considerable abatement. When
all reasonable deductions have been
completed, however, the list of the very
olng-hved mounts up much higher than
most persons would suppose. 1t is a
little curious that, while there was pre-
ponderance of white males over seventy
and under eighty years of age, viz :
233, 439 to 233, 266 females, the women
who had reached eighty, ninety and one
hundred years were in excess of the
men. The octogenarians We're: Males,
80 435. females. 80 5SS. or nOnapena-
rians they were 5000 males and LII
females. The statistics of centenarians
have been given above. We believe
that the statistics of all nations where
a census has been taken develop similar
results. tits said, however, that men are
compensated by the fact that more males
than females live beyond one hundred
and ten years.

IT Runs LIKE A PRAIRIE FIRE DIR.
WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs runs like q
prairie fire. The fame of The Temper
ance Tonic is, however, but poorly ex-
emplfied by this figure of speech for
a prairie fire runs only in one direction,
whereas the reputation of the Bitters
spreads toward all points of the COM
pass. There is not square mile of in
habited territory in the United States
where this meritorious preparation is
not appreciated. If any theoretical gen.
tleman thinks he is prepared to show
that there is "nothing in it., we advise
him to go to the Prairie States, in the
Mississippi Valley, to the deltas of the
Southern rivers, to New England, in
fact, anywhere within the limits of
Uncle Sans real estate" and venti-
late his views. BY so doing he can raise
heartier and more general laugh than
has ever yet shaken the sides of an in
telligent people. Persons who have been
cured can't help laughing at other peo-
pie who tell them that the medicine
which saved their lives is failure. IA

A BOSTON ROMANCE.

1t is but seldom that romance takes
the form detailed by correspondent of
the st. Louis Republican. But this is
how it came about: Once upon time
there lived in Boston State street
grubber, who amassed fortune. After
due course of time he returned to the
vile dust from which he grubbed, leav-
ing three daughters-Mary Ann, Sarah
Jane, and Amelia Ann. 1t was not long
before the ard-earned gains of the
grubber fell into the clutches of two
fortune hunters, but the prcttiest and
Youngest remained Seeing the fate of
her two sisters she determined to get
married for love and not for money. The
way she took to do it was little singu-
lar. She enlisted as pretty waiter
girl at the White Mountains. Many
gentlemen smiled upon the mod
est, refined looking girl, and many a
well dressed nose was stuck up at
her in consequence. But at the right
moment lllt nero ut1iNttt. Ike Sdilic
from Long Island. He saw. He was
slain. In spite of noses and sneers,
Amelia Ann grew in interest daily with
her Long Island swain, until one day in
in a moment of forgetfulness she played
upon the piano. Now, if there was
one thing more than another which-so
he proposed, and down came his
mother with a thousand OF mother
in-law power, forbidding the bans,
and bowling and using scent bot
tles-but all to no avail. Amelia and
her long lost affinity sailed for Europe.
| When the mother heard the news hel
face changed like the moon after al
eclipse, but was considerably Disguised
when her informant told her that if evel
Amelia Ann acknowledged her in any
way as mother-in-law she would never
speak to her again. Snch in the Ian
guase of A. Ward, is "mothers-inlaw.

THE MAN WITH THE UNI.

THE MAN WITH THE MEMORANDUM.
The Hannibal, (Mo.0 Courier relates
that gentleman who resides a few
miles in the country announced his in
tention of coming to the city to get
few of the necessaries of life. His good
wife, who evidently reads the papers
and knows what is going on, furnished
her "old man" with the following
memorandum, recognizing the fact that
"these men are so stupid and always
forget what they are sent after. But
here is the seasonable list of necessa-
ries, which, though not in strictly
clerkly form, is nevertheless to the
point, and well calculated to make an
impression on the mind Get a
pound of tea. And don't forget to go
to Browns drug store and get eight
pounds of copperas and pint of car
bolic acid Get dollars worth of loaf
sugar. Bring dozen lemons. If you
have chance, you had better bring
bushel of lime. We ought to have
pound of ground mustard and some
ginger. Get gallon of coal oil and
demijohn of whisky. Be particular and
don't get them mixed-have the coal oil
put in the can and the whisky in the
demijohn. If you see nice piece OF
calico, you might bring me enough for
wrapper. Go to Orynski's and get a
bottle of blackberry syrup. The flour
is out. Be careful and don't drink any
we'll water while in town. Be sure and
get a bottle of Hamlin's cholera cure.
We ought to have half dozen knives
and forks for the kitchen. Go to Nc
Cleary's and get bottle of DR.. Me
Cabe's blackberry brandy. Don't bring
anything green home to make the chill
dren sick. Don't forget the coal oil
and the demijohn, and be sure to keep
them separate. Go to Cheever's and get
bottle of syrup of blackberry and GIN
ger. Get pint of cognac brandy. Keep
away from them nasty ponds unless they
are filled up. If you see any good dis
infectant bring some home. Get few
pounds of crackers and rice, and some
eat meal. If you see the doctor ask
him to give you prescription to cure
the cholera. Be careful and don't break
the demijohn. Johnny needs pair OF
shoes. You had better call at the drug
stores and see who has got the best
cholera medicine. Now don't forget
any of these things, and keep the list in
your hat where you can find it. Come
home early" About four o'clock yes
terday afternoon the man with the
memorandum might have been seen go
ing out Broadway with all his horse
could draw, his rockaway resembling
the hospital train of an army corps. II
the cholera ever goes out in that
direction it will meet with a warm re-
ception.

BISHOP O'REILY, of Springfield, Mass.
addressed the Catholics of that city on
Sunday last, ON the folly OF employing a
long line of carriages at funerals, in
stancing the case of poor man, recent
ly deceased, at whose funeral there was
40 carriages and great show, while the
widow was obliged to solicit help within
week. He advised the different
societies to establish precedent by re-
using to attend funerals when there
should be more than five carriages be-
