as an act ordered by law. The State con-
stitution directs that such an enumera.
ton shall be made in the year 1875. This
act has been performed by separate
executive action under order of law.
In case of any error in the
census returns, the Legislature may or.
der re-census of any OF all parishes in
the State. Until such apportionment shall
be made, the representation shall continue
as ut present This preserves the exist.
ence of the Legislature and prevents an
interregnum in that body; but compul-
sion to perform the duty of apportion-
ment is thus enacted:
After an enumeration has been made az
directed in the twentieth article, the Gen
eral Assembly shall not pass any law until
the 0ppOrtionment of both houses of the
General Assembly shall be made.
The constitution thus orders an emu
meration, and provides against the an
archy or lapse of legislative authority,
but annuls any act Of legislation until
every duty Of apportionment shall have
been performed. ..-
The reader will thus take the distinc-
ton between the defeat of the late emu
meration and the adoption of that of 1870.
The Legislature is kept alive according to
the ratio of 1870, but it is powerless to
pass any law.
The distinction between enumeration
and apportionment is made manifest by the
United States census of 1870. This was
an expensive and responsible work. There
was complaint Of the enumeration, which
required a re-census Of the great cities Of
New York and Philadelphia, but the De-
partment Of the Interior completed its
arithmetical computations, and divided
the whole population according to the
rule and quota furnished by Congress.
The department also submitted results
under seven different ratios, from PAL to
500.
Congress, then, had the whole enumer-
alton before it, and proceeded to fix such
ratio Of representatives to population as
suited it. This delicate duty occupied
several months.
If this reasoning and example be salts
factory, it will show that the Legislature
may order the re-census of any parish
or parishes, or election districts. If it
shall delay this reform, the present emu.
meration is legal and will stand, unless
amended. Each member of the Legisla-
ture will still hold his seat according to
the census Of 1870, but he can do no legal
act until an appoitionment shall have been
made under the census of 1875, as it has
been taken or as it may be amended. If
the Legislature intends to suspend this
enumeration of 1875 by ordering q re-
census of all the parishes and election
districts, it had as well go about it, as it
would be without authority to perform
even the act of apportionment unless Or
ganized on this enumeration as made or
The idea that by permitting this
act of enumeration to lapse from nom
action under it, the Legislature can act
under the enumeration of 1870, is fallacy
it may be well to avoid. The Republic
ans are willing to order re-census in any
case in which it may be shown that an
error of enumeration has been committed,
so that the Democracy will have no ex-
cuses, as they can take no profit by caus.
ing, legislative interregnum

Courage aud Fear of Death.

The Chinese of the southern dcltas,
who have little active courage, though
the Chinese OF the north and west have
plenty, will die fora hribe tosaye rich
or criminal from tho sentence ho has
earned. The Denghlee, who alone among
mankind says, calmly, "Arnlc bherO0,"
" I am timid, as II cowartlice were mat
ter OF moral and social Indifference, or
rather credihble than otherwise, goes to
execution, MS Macalllay noticed, like n
hero, and will encounter On inevitable
aud agonizing death without tlutter OF
The pulse. His nerve is rs great rs
Wainwright's, who died without per-
ceptiblo change in tho steadiness Of his
heart beats, but who-unliko tho Ben.
galee-with M object before him would
probably have rushed upon the cannon.
The Mnlay, VINO canuOt be induced or
compelled to iaCo rockets, dies as trnu-
qsilly as Casabiunca; and The Cingnlesc
Of the coat, who will ilgh! nobody,
meets death without murmur or n
pIug.
An English sailor OF the old type, who
would face anything earthly except q
blnck cat, has probably twice MS much
fear of death rs the cultivated woman
who eau endure death by deadly Oper-
alton resiguedly, yet faint in tho pres.
ence Of any noisy danger. The wild
romancer, Gustave Aim0rd, states, as n
fact, within lis knowledge, that n
Spanish officer shot himself dead rather
than cross a rope suspension bridge;
and we can vouch for the following
story, though We must not give the
names: An English ensign, just joined
before the first sikh campaign, went to
his commanding officer, a relative, and
told him that he could not face the shot,
that he should disgrace himself, and
must resign. His relative comtorted
him kindly, told him that he was only
nervous, and thought he had soothcd
his fear; but the lad, MS he stopped ont
OF the tent, shot himself through tho
brain, inviting death rather than n call
upon his courage.

4 Notable Work for tho Centennial.

The city Of Mexico correspondent OF
the San francisco Chronicle writes rs
follows: Undoubtedly one Of the most
interesting, novel and unique works OF
nrt exhibited ut tho American Centennial
will be an architectural plan OF this his
toric city. Tho dimensions arc $50 feet
from north to south and 23l feet from
east to west. all tho characteristics OF
the capitol will be portrayed with tho
greatest fidelity, rs, for instance, the ir-
regularity OF tho heights of buildings,
the color OF the frontings, the signs OF
the business houses, the. number Of
doors, windows and balconies on each
street, the pavements and sidewalks.
This model city will be peopled by co..
900 human figures of good size, made OF
lead and adorned exquisitely, represent
ing men in various fashionable national
costumes and otherwise, ladies' elegantly
dressed for the opera, ball and social
party, besides types from tho common
people. Fruit vendors, ice cream ven
ders, portcrs, water carriers, ETC., with
their asticoutRts, will bogiyen trneto
life. There will be no less than 1900
coaches and an equal number Of other
vehicles, besides artillery pieces mount.
ed on carts. Nearly all the noticeable
buildingswill be visible, the grand cathc-
dral, the principal Catholic churches,
tue mint. Offices OF tho railroads, the
national library. the school OF fine arts,
tho Hotel Tturbide, and Others. The
national palace and other notable build.
ings arc not constructed in the plan, but
proper steps have been taken to get per-
mission to 10 so. When included the
WORK will be complete. The idea OF this
novel undertaking originated with Don
Francisco Tajardo, Antonio Fomas,
Francisco CervanteS, Manuel Acosta,
and Andoquio Sanchez, uil well known
and enterprising citizens. They have as
sociated with them Don Vinccnte Her
mandes, IN eminent mechanic aud artist.
When the project was ut first broached,
nearly two years ago. it WIS thought
that so daring a piece OF enterprise could
not be completed in time, but the gem
tlemen having it in hand went to work
energetically and will hAve it ready at
the proper date for shipment to PhiIa.
delphia. A Mexican writer speaking OF
tho work says, satirically, that the dis
tiuguished foreigners who believe that
tue Mexicans still dress in feathers aud
shoot with arrows will be astonished to
gaze upon the magnificent toilets Of the
ladies, the walking canes OF the fashion
abIes, and the love of handsome, pic.
ttlres1ue costumes which characterizes
tho descendants Of tue Aztecs and the
Spnuiards. When tue whole plan allud.
ch to is completed aud set up according
to the model in the Centennial building,
it is certain that no other notable object
can attract greater attention.

A Wonderful Wheat Country.

The Portland Oregonian says: We
have been in the habit Of supposing that
the Willamet valley was the greatest
wheat growing country on the habitable
globe, and have felt like indulgiug in M
indefinite amount OF vainglorious boast
ing over tho record Of fields producing
6fty bushels or more to tho acre, aud
whole farms averaging thirty-fve or
forty bushels. But We receive some in
formation concerning whcAt raising III
eastern Washington Territory which sur.
passes the best showing We remember TO
have feeU.
G. Mailer, living near the base OF the
Blue mountains, in Wnlla Walla valley,
III 1878 raised on sixty.acre field 1920
bushels of wheat, an average OF sixty
seven bushels to the acre aud in 1875,
from siSty.acre tract, Q, ,420 bushels, or
iifty-seven bushels 10 the acre.
Mr.. Masterson, residing four miles
south OF Walla Walla, raised OH ten
acres $50 bushels, eighty-tivc bushels to
the acre.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose farm is on Dry
creek, six miles from Wnlla Wnlla, har-
vested 5,252 bushels from 80 acres,
thirty-hve bushels average; and this
was volunteer crop, that is, tho second
crop from one sowing.
These crops, says our informant, we're
produced on ordinary wheat land-land
that is "no better than hundreds OF
thousands of acres now lying vacant il
Walla Walla mud Whitman counties,
especially north OF Snake river, where
there is a country vast enough to pro-
duce more than $4,000, 1000 bushels per
anuunl, and where failure Of crops has
never been known."

"How many sides has a circle ?"

Tho doctor then said: "And you at.

"Yes."

Ten Millions of Gold in One Pile.

A San francisco correspondent oi'tho
Philadelphia Press gives tho following
information: Spcakingof gold, reminds
one OF very well authenticated rimor
that the great bonanza kings, Messrs.
Flood, oIBrien, Mackay and Fair, IRE
going to send one hundred and fifty
tons Of the gold and silver bullion from
their Consolidated Virginia mine to the
Centennial, and pile up the glittcring
hars in some conspicuous spot, 80 that
all tho world can see what ono mine pro.
duces in Ave months. Tho value OF tho
bars will be ten u illions Of dollars in
United States gold coinl II tho idea is
carried out it will be the gra dest sight
among million Of grand sights, aud l
venture to say moro people will visit this
" mountain Of wealth than any other
single thing in tho building. Five mil.
lions of the bullion is now boxed up for
shipment, and tho balance will bo ready
in duo season. Few people over saw
such vast sum rs ten millions OF dol
lars in gold and silver, all in one Or sev.
eral piles, and I think the proposition
Of NIessrs. Flood & Co., il carried
through, will add much o he charm,
the wonder, the Gctat, and tho success
OF the oxposit ton.

He Borrowed No Trouble.

He was an elderly man, says the
Louisville, Courier Journal, but his
well.preserved couutenance expanded in
genial smile that made him look ten
years younger, as he said: ~ never al
low myself to borrow trouble. Some
people are trying to effect that loan, but
| am not OF their sort" And again he
smiled, diffusing light and cheoriulness
over the group with whom heconversed.
Some five hundred miles away, the
poor, overworked sister Of the happy
man was boarding, aud striving to bring
under control, his six worthless and
troublesome children, and at the samc
timo seeking to teach her own ill.clad,
ill.fed and numerous progeny to walk in
the way Of Righteousness. This was why
the elderly man with the genial smile
spoke so cheerfully, and when his good
sisters health fiually departed from her,
and she lay down and died, he still bor.
rowed no trouble.

An Expensive Breakfast.

Long years ago, way back to 1914,
when our wives, daughters, sisters, md
sweethearts wore calico dresses, the ma.
teriul OF which was cheap, and made
from seven yards, and it cost Ms many
shillings, three young men of capital
nud high standing, indulged in nights
lebauch 1t q hotel in Northampton,
NInss. In the morning they summoned
the landlord to their presence, and or.
dered breakfast, which they stated
must be the most expensive that had
ever been given in the State. The
principal dish ordered was ham and
eggs, of which they would go to the
kitchen and superintend, personally, the
cooking. When tho fat was hot, they
each deposited in it their gold watches;
Chains, lockets, And signet rings, which
wcrc fried with tho ham and eggs. The
cost OF tho iewelry alone was at least
81, 500. All Of the parties are dead now,
but they lived long enough to know the
want Of their foolish extravaganza.
