A Woman Of '76.

Just after the battle of Guilford the
British army marched to Wilmington.
About the middle of the afternoon, the
van of the army, led by Lord Corn
wallis, reached the house of Mrs.
Bell. The earl dismounted and entered.
After looking about him space, he said,
abruptly:
Madam, where is your busband9"
In Greene's camp" was the short
reply. .,
"No, he is not; but he knew it was
better to be among friends than fall into
the hands of enemies"
every well, madam must make
your house my headquarters for a few
days, and take your mill to grind for my
soldiers"
"Sir," said she, "you have the power
to do as you please; but after using our
mill do you mean to burn it2"
why do you ask that2"
"Answer me first, and I'll tell you af-
terwards."
"No, then," said CORVALLIS, "your
mill shall not be burned or your prop
erty injured, but my officers must have
provisions for the army. I shall remain
in your house, and my presence will
protect you from insult, for no soldiers
of mine will dare plumber my headquar-
ters."
"Well, now, sir" rejoined the stout
hearted woman, "as you were 80 kind
as to answer my question, will answer
yours. If your lordship had intended
to burn my mill after using it, intended
to save you that trouble by burning it
myself at once !"
CORVALLIS took no offense, but began
giving orders in quick, nervous man.
ner. He walked up and down the room
like one i'll at ease, turning sharply on
his heel. He told Mrs. Bell that he had
just annihilated Greene's army, and
could fear no more harm from him.
Presently he opened the back door and
looked nervously up the road for few
moments, then resumed his walk to and
fro. The air drew through the room and
the good lady rose and shut the door.
The earl opened it again and gazed up
the road. He appeared to Elm trouble,
and could not keep still moment. He
would sit down in chair, only to find
his feet at once, and return to his pacing.
Again Mrs. Bell closed the door. Corn
wallis Immediately opened it, saying
sternly that he wished it to remain so.
His hostess asked him the reason.
why" said he, 81 don't know but
Greene may be coming down on me at
any moment"
'sBut thought you said Just now
that you had annihilated him, aud feared
nothing further"
"Well, madam" said the earl, with
sigh, "to tell you the truth, since God
made me never saw such fighting.
Another such victory would annihilate
me :"

Killed by a Mouse.

An extraordinary occurrence was
brought to light at an inquest held re-
GENTLY on the body of man in South
London. 1t tappears that in work room
where many young girls were at work, a
mouse suddenly made its appearance on
table, causing, of course, considerable
commotion and general stampede. The
intruder was seized, however, by young
man who happened to be present, but
the mouse slipped out of his hand, and,
running up his sleeve, came out be-
tween his waistcoat and shirt, at the
neck. The unfortunate man had his
mouth open, and the mouse, on the look
out for some convenient place of con-
cealment, entered the mans mouth, and
he, in his fright and surprise, swallowed
it. That mouse can exist for consid-
erable time without much air has long
been q popular belief, and was, unfor-
tunately, proved to be fact in the pres
ent instance, for the mouse began to
tear and bite inside the mans throat and
chest, and the result was that the unfor-
tunate fellow died, after little time, in
horrible agony. Several witnesses hav-
ing corroborated the above facts, and
medical testimony as to the cause of
death having been given, verdict of
accidental death was returned.

Pauperism of the Chinese People.

The masses of the people are very
poor. 1t is with them a severe struggle
for existence. The average wages of
mechanics and common laborers for q
days work of twelve to fourteen hours is
ten to twenty cents; but skilled Chinese
mechanics in our trades are paid by
foreigners twenty-five to seventy five
cents day. The cost of European or
American living here is one-third less
than it is in the United States. Chinese
living of the commonest sort, but the
best that can be afforded by the masses,
doesn't average to exceed six cents a
day. A wealthy Chinaman doesn't ex-
pend more than $5 or $6 month for his
food. The result is great deal of desti
tuition and suffering among the masses;
there is much begging in and about the
temples and in the streets of the old city;
there is, too, Notwithstanding the terri
BILE cruelty of punishment inflicted for
crime, much petty differing and robbery
from the personand from houses. There
are many rich Chinaman, but they are
not inclined to works of charity; they
hold and hoard. There is no properly
organized system of charity; relatives
and friends are supposed to take care of
the sick and the unfortunate. 1t is only
in cases of dire necessity that govern
ment agency affords relief, and then it is
only temporary. The founding hospital
is government enterprise, and that is
its most conspicuous charity.

POPULATION OF THE UNITED
STATES.

What the State Enumerntions Of 1875
Show--Some Interesting Figures.
1t has been assumed, too hastily we
think, says the Boston advertiser, that
the growth of the country in population
has received a serious check. This con-
clusion is based on the returns of part
of the censuses taken last year. We
have not seen anywhere table contain
ing results of all the enumerations, and
we have endeavored to supply the de-
iciency. So far as known there were
eighteen States that took census of
their population during the year 1875.
One other made an enumeration in 1874.
Of the whole fourteen, eleven are sup
posed to be trustworthy, and three are
not so. The census of Texas is an esti-
mate so far as it is supposed to give the
total population. A school census was
taken, and the figures below are based
upon the result of that, corrected by a
comparison of the votes ut different cleo
tions. The return for Michigan is that
for the year 1874, so that it represents
one year less of growth than in the
other cases

Female Suffrage.

Mr.. Sargent, of California, presented
a petition in the United States Senate
signed by large number of ladies, ask
ing that government be established in
the District of Columbia which would
confer upon women the right to vote.
Mr.. Sargent said the petition was signed
by many eminent ladies, and they set
forth their request in such language as
should reach the ear of the Senate. He
asked that the petition be read by the
secretary. After it had been read Mr..
Sargent said he had no doubt that this
great movement of woman suffrage
would prevail. 1t was making progress
day by day. He referred to woman suf-
frage in Wyoming Territory, and said it
was indorsed there by the judiciary, by
the press and by the people generally.
He knew Of no better place TO make this
experiment than the capital of the ma
tion, and therefore asked that the petit
ton be referred to the committee on the
District Of Columbia, to be considered
in connection with any bill to provide a
government for the District. It was so
referred.
