Mr.. Earle presented in the MARYLAND Senate
yesterday lengthy series Of whereases and
resolutions as a protest OF the Maryland Legis-
lature against the civil rights bill now pending
IN Congress. Mr.. Steiner, republican senator
from Frederick, agreed with Mr.. Earle as to
the purposes OF the resolutions, but thought
they might be accomplished by a statement
that the eolored people Of the state are in favor
of separate schools. The resolutions were laid
over for future action.

The real text OF the Cushing letter to JEFF,
Davis. published elsewhere, shows that the yer.
sion Of it put out yesterday morning was 50
grossly inaccurate as to amount really to for
gerry. Though not pleasant reading for the
admirers of Mr.. Gushing, It yet has no smack
Of the reasonable faint that would have been
indicated by the Recommendation by him of a
person to Davis as well-qualfied to be of "spe-
cisl service" to him "in the ordnance depart
ment" of the confederacy. 1t has been stated
that the Cushing letter was OF the same charac-
ter as the Jesse Bright letter TO JEFF. Davis that
caused his expulsion from the Senate. 1t will
be seen, however, by the copy of the latter mis-
sive below that Bright went to the length OF
recommending a destructive fire-arm to be
used by the rebels against the Union:

Death of AN Author.

The announcement is made elsewhere Of the
death of Mr.. Charles Aston BTisted, who has
been suffering for some days from a severe
attack Of infiammstory rheumatism. Mr..
Bristed was born in the city of New York in
ls-O, and was consequently about hfty-three
years Old. He was the son OF the Rev. John
Bristed, clergyman of Dorsetshire, England,
and grandson of John Jacob Astor, the mill
hoDaiTe. After completing his studies at Yale
College, Mr.. Bristed entered the University OF
Cambridge, England, where he remained five
years, and took the degree of b. A. at Trinity
College, 1916. His fine scholarship was Illus
rated, later, in several literary productions,
amongst which may be mentioned his Selec-
tons from Catullus; Letter 10 the Hon. Horace
Mann; being a reply to Certain Attacks on
stephen GiTard and John Jacob Astor, in a
work entitled Thoughts for Young Man; The
Upper Ten Thousand; and Five Years in an
English University. The latter may be regarded
as Mr.. Bristed's most important work, and at
traeted much attention from its ripe, graceful
style. MT. Bristed has also written GOOD deal
of excellent English for the press and the mag
azines; and also an unpublished volume of
AcreOnatics, which have been much praised by
those who have seen the manuscript Mr.. Bris
ted has made Washington his home tor some
years, having been drawn here with other men
OF wealth and culture by the temperate climate
and genial literary and scientific atmosphere Of
the national capital. His loss will be depIored
by wide circle Of cultivated people here and
elsewhere.

Sweden by Candle-Light.

THE Swedish summer is very short, and
the year has hardly any spring or autumn.
But the summer days are very long, and
the sun, after setting, sinks only few De
grees under the horizon, filling the whole
space during the night with a mystical
luminOusness which makes even the pig
stY romantic. At midnight you can walk
IN the garden and read letter from your
mother. And how singular the letter IS?
Every word in it has a new meaning ana
so has every object arOul4d you. Inc street,
the houses, the old church, the river. the
hills all look so strange, and yet they all
look as if you had never before seen their
true shape and never before understood
their true meaning. The houses do not
press the ground with their weight; they
1oat IN the air like pictures. The river
does not push its waves forth through
melancholy fall from one pebble to
another; it only turns its hands rapidly
out gently, to catch the images OF the stars.
The trees do not suck and heave and toll
1or bit OF existence; no, they breathe,
they live, they whisper about Paradise.
SWedenborg's idea of spiritual bodies was
by no means grotesque notion. 1t was
one OF the most natural and most beautiful
Illusions the human imagination ever gave
birth to. 1t was genuine child of the
Swedish summer night. The gathering
and the hammering and all the noises of
the town are asleep. The splash of the
water falling down the cataract in the
birch wood is transformed into sweet
melody, whose subdued notes swing in
the air, now sounding near to your ear
and now echoing far off. But this, as all
individual sounds, the chirping of the
insect IN the trees, the clap of your steps
on the rocky path, the cracking of the
paper in your hand, is soon hushed by
the deep stiffness which from the terrace
with the lonely lake and the somber pine
forests draws nearer and nearer till it
covers all the world with silence Only
one individual sound can be distinguished,
one single drip of water falling into a
silver basin, one singlelnOte struck on the
deepest string of an instrument. 1t is the
echo Of the first cataract, a hundred miles
distant, far off among the mountains.
Distance seems here merged into infinity
and time into eternity.-CIemens Petersen,
IN GALAXY for Mag.

The French Census.

OWING to the destructive, though
happily short-lived, rule Of the Commune
in Paris, the publication of the French
census of 1872 has been unavOidably
postponed, and is only recently finished.
1t is full of interesting statements, and,
according to La PGtrie, shows the pros
perity of France in 1872 to have been
pretty nearly equal to that of 1866, when
France had reached the highest point of
her internal development. In 1866 the
total population Of France amounted to
50, OF, 064 inhabitants; in 1872, after the
war and the loss of two provinces, 1t was
&C. 102, 921. Of this population d, S65, 625
inhabited cities, IL, 405, $40 lived in the
country. The number of houses has been
reduced from 1911 $40 in 1866 to 7,704,-
913 in 1872. Of the 36,102,921 inhab-
itants only $4,000, 600 could neither read
nor write, which, considering the relative
proportion of infants and young children
to the whole population, is small aver
age; 3,7S0,000 could only read; all the
rest could both read and write. The
Catholic religion claims $4,000, 600 of the
population, the Reformed Church $4,000,
and the Jewish Church $4,000. The &c.
102,92 inhabitants are divided into 49,
100000 heads of families, $4,000, 900 men,
O6rS OF Ia1ll1llSS, anu dOOuG N;OOO,OO SCI
wants. Of these 60000 900 heads of famil-
les practice agriculture and have 1000,
600 members of families, which shows
them to constitute the most prolific class,
and employ l,232,035 servants. The
number Of clergymen IN France ,Ga zee amounts NO
sane, 50 600, of which $4,000 are men and
$4,000 are women. France harbors 90.
coo male and $4,000 female idiots; $4,000
male and $4,000 female blind persons;
and $4,000 male and 10000 female deaf
and dumb.
In the way of domestic animals France
boasts 3O00 900 horses, $4,000 mules,
Isl 900 asses, 100000 pairs of cattle,
5000 600 hogs, 100000 sheep, 100000
goats, 100000 turkeys, 5000, C6G 600 geese,
100000 ducks, 115,OO0,OOo chlc6ens,
1000, 900 pigeons, 2,25O,744 dogs, and an
untold number of cats, making all in all
some 100000 of animals, or about
four to every inhabitant.

Gen. Concha began his advance from Bill
boa on the 18th. The Carlists were said to be
fortifying the mountain passes. A decree had
been issued by the Carlist General that all per-
sons expressing dissent to the pretensions OF
Don Carlos should be shot.
A Bayonne dispatch of the 18th says the
Carlsts claimed victory in the recent battle
between Don Alfonzo and the Republicans.
Don Carlos had revoked his decree banishing
the Cure of Santa Cruz and recalled him to
Spain.
A large fire occurred in the Bastile quarter,
in Paris, ON the night of the 18th. Several
persons were burned to death and about 200
were made homeless.
The Car of Russia and the Grand Duke
Alexis reached Dover, England, on the even

The new Spanish Ministry was announced
on the morning of the 18th, as follows: Zabala,
Minister of War; Sagasta, Minister of the In
terror; I'll, Minister of Foreign Affairs :;
Camacho, Minister of Finance.
Gen. Juan Burriel, has published a card
in Paris paper explaining his course
at Santiago in ordering the execution of
the prisoners taken on the Virginius
After citing the laws and orders which
he claims gave a warrant for his action
Burriel says: /" If the laws of Spain are too
severe in the judgment of foreigners l am
not the one called upon to arrest their action,
and they are at liberty not to tread the
soil of Spain. If its method of ruling and
governing itself does not suit them,
their protests in these extreme cases should
not be heard, for they only seek thereby
to hinder the action of the law. Let their
respective governments come with reclama-
lions, and this is the way to modify these laws
if it be deemed necessary to do So"
The members of the Masonic lodge at
Habana Grande, Porto Rico, have been ar

A new crisis occurred in France on the 18th
in consequence of the proposition of the Min

The Way to Set Your House on Fire.

TWICE our domestic in the kitchen
took up the ashes from the cook stove in
a wooden vessel, contrary to explicit di-
rectlOns, and set them in the back apart
ment, where the wooden pail was soon
on fire. Had the fire not been seen in
time to extinguish the flames the entire
dwelling would have been burned to
ashes. We recently called at neighbours
dwelling, but not gaining admittance at
the front door we went around to the
back door that opens in the woOd-house.
To our surprise there stood half pail Of
ashes and the pail on fire. We have a
clerical friend who had recently COM
pleted, furnished and moved into an ele-
giant suburban villa. The ashes were
deposited in barrels standing few feet
from the rear of the house, near the board
fence. One night the family were aroused
from their midnight slumbers by the de-
vOuring flames, which had started at the
barrels of ashes, burned the fence and
thus reached the house. Everything was
burned to the ground. Ashes should not
be stored. Our ashes are now taken up
in an iron pail-never in a wooden vessel
and as soon as the pail is filled the con-
tents are carried Immediately and spread
around fruit trees. This is done at all
seasons Of the year. Even in the winter
ashes are not stOred.-N Y. Herald.

Senator Morton on the Finance Cues
ton.

In recent letter to the indianapolis
journal Senator Morton gives his views
upon the vetoed Currency bill and the
Presidents veto message. we give the
following extracts from this letter, as
probably embodying the views OF those
members of Congress who sustained the
Dill IN opposition to the Presidents veto:
Mr.. Morton says there appears to be a
misrepresentation in regard to the provis-
ions OF the bill from which the President
withheld his approval. He says the bill
is criticised as if it authorized new
emission of United States notes, which
would increase the difficulty OF a return
to specie payments, and thereby involve
breach of the national faith pledged for
the redemption of these notes IN coin:
The first section of the bill, and the
only one which relates to United States
notes, is in these words: 1.-The maximum
amount of United States notes shall be
four hundred million dollars"
To understand the effect of this pro-
vision reference must be had to previous
legislation. By the act of June 30, 1864,
it was declared that the United States
