Several years ago Mr.. Carleton was seized
with the belief that burlesque OF the popn-
lar almanac, such as the cod Farmers Al
manac," to which new England pinned its
meteorological faith, would be remuneratlve.
Hs suggested the idea first to Artemus
Ward" afterwards to "Orpheus q. Kerr,
and next to '.Doesticks," but none OF them
thought favorably of it. An arrangement
was at last made with "Josh Billings" and
SO the "Alminax" came about. Nearly l5O,
900 copies were sold the first year, and almost
as many since, and though the retail price Is
only quarter, Mr.. Shaw is said to have re-
ceived $1,000 the first year, and ovea S3o, ooo
in all. The number is almost ready, with
some outrageously absurd silhouette illustra-

A citizen of South Carolina has taken the
pains TO ascertain from the census reports of
1860 and 1870 how many white people, ma
tives of the Northern States, were living in
the South in those years respectively. he
finds rather unexpectedly, that fewer of such
persons by more than 10000 were living in
the South in 1870 than in 1850. The States
in which the numbar of non natives has ma
terially increased are: Arkansas, where The
increase is about 40 per cent, or from II, OOO
to 10, 600; Florida, which has gained in about
The same proportion, or from 1000 TO 1900;
kentucky, where the advance is from Al 600
to 40, 600; and Tennessee, which had Is, 600
Northern people in 1870 against 1900 in
1860.
The decline in numbers of natives of North
ern States is greatest in Virginia, which had
sc, 600 such residents in 1860, but only IL, 900
in 1870. The State of Louisiana, where the
decline in numbers of residents from North
ern States was from $4,000 to 10000, and
Texas, which had lost about 2OOO of such
citizens, having had 81 900 in 1860, but only
| IS, 600 in 1870. la the other Southern States
the change was slight. On the other hand,
the number of persons of Southern birth
living in the North increased between 1860
and 1870 more than $4,000. The increase
was greatest in Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois,
Minnesota, Iowa and Oregon, and the num-
bers declined most sensbly in Ohio and Indi.

noticeable change.-lFdR Street Reuielc.

Circumstantial evidence, says the Nashville
american, pretty clearly indicates the polling
of more fraudulent votes by repeaters in the
ONO election than in any State election in
this country since the Union was established.
It would seem to be part of the programme
of the money oligarcby to exhibit such prac-
tical defects in the popular suffrage system as
to prepare the people to change of the form
of government. A mere handful of men, ma
nipulating the Briarian arms of the national
banks, could, and, it seems, do, control the
government. The oligarchy already owns
that palladium of our liberties, the press,
elsewhere than in New York. And when it
owns the telegraph and the railroad systems,
what power it will be, to be sure. Vie

Douglas JerrOld's Wit.
From London Society,"

Jerrold's wit was of the keenest and most
transparent character, like Sidney Smiths
wit like all true wit; for genuine wit is the
same all the world over. "Wit gives you
nod in passing; but with humor you are at
home" You must be on the alert for wit; 1t
flashes, and is gone. 'Take walk upon an
empty stomach" said the doctor to Sidney
Smith Upon whose?" asked the Dean.
That is wit. So is Tom Hoods description OF
fellow whose height of folly constituted bis
own monument:
"a column of fop.
A light house without any light atop"
So was Sydney Smiths reply to the church
wardens, when they wanted wood pavement
around St. Paul's: clay your heads together
and the thing is done" while his remark to
little child who was scratching a tortoise,
that it was like scratching the dome OF st.
Paul's to please the dean and chapter, is
fine example of perfect humor. The wit OF
Jerrold is often equal to that OF the dean, and
many brilliant saying is attributed to both
of them. A score Of stories OF Jerrold occur
to me, though it is too late to add any new
ones to the record, for his ''wlt aud humor
have been carefully collected and published.
There are few good things, however, which
will bear repetition.
Mature has written honest man upon
his face" said person trying to make in
terest for his friend with Jerrold. "Then
nature must have had very bad per, was
the prompt reply. Everybody knows how he
revenged himself upon pompous top, VINO
had made himself Extensively conspicuous at
| q club dinner where sleeps head was IA
vorite dish. Pushing his plate aside, the
stranger exclaimed, "Well, say sleeps head
| forever" "What egotism," remarked Jer-
| rold. This, no doubt, led up to a kindred
| flash of wit on another occasion at the ex-
pense of literary friend Of Jerrold's, who
| had inst ordered ''Some sheep's-tail soup,
waiter" "Ah!" said Jerrold, looking mp,
and smiling with his great eye, extremes
meet sometimes.
There was an old gentleman who drove a
very slow pony in a ramshakle gig; and ne
was anxious one day to pay Jerrold a little
special attention. The humorist was on his
way to the station from his house. Alb,
Mr. Jerrold J" said the old gentlemen; shall
I give you lift ?" '.No. thank you" said
Jerrold; " 1 am in hurry" In the country,
on visit, Jerrold was told, among other
| gossip, of young man IN the neighborhood,
named IRE, who had cruelty Tilted his sweet
heart lure seems to be base 'un, said
Jerrold.
AT a ball, seeing very tall gentleman waltz
ing with a very short lady, Jerrold said,
| There's mile dancing with a milestone. "
The author of au epic poem entitled 9 A Des-
cent into He'll" used to worry Jerrold very
much. At last the wit grew irritated with the
poet who, coming bounding upon him with
the question, "Ah, Jerrold +! have you seen

quick asperity. "No; should like to y
