II is curious to notice that the area Of
the land surface of the globe has de-
creased since last years issue as much
as S3,3+9 square miles. The increase
OF the population estimate for 1875 over
that for 1878 is upward of 27.010, 900.
OF course it must not be imagined. this
enormous increase is entirely caused
by the excess of births over deaths: As
the area has been effected BY extended
survey, SO the population figures owe
10 the results Of rece.t censuses mainly
in Europe and India, and to a more in
tlmate knowledge of regions hitherto
imperiectly unknown.

Dickens' Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings OF Charles
Dickens SO strong hold upon the hearts o.
parents as the well known excellence OF hi S
portrayal Of children and their interests.
These delineations having received the APP
proval OF readers OF mature age, it seemed a
worthy effort to make the young also partici-
pants in the enjoyment ofthese classic fictions.
With this view, the different child characters
have been detached from the large mass Of
matter with which they were originally con-
nected, and presented IN the authors own
language, to a new class of readers, to whom
the little volumes WILL we doubt not, be as
attractive rs the larger originals have so long
proven to the general public.
A series of twelve volumes has been pre-
pared, presenting, among others, the follow
ing characters Little Paul., from Dombey
& Son; "Smike," from Nicholas Nickleby;
"Little Nell,v firm the old curiosity shop;
"The Child Wife," from David Coppsr6eld,
etc. A new edition Of the first volume of
this series, "Little Paul." from Dombey d.
Son, has just been issued, illustrated by OAR
ley, and attractively bound. The other vol
umes will follow at short intervals. For sale
by all booksellers or sent post paid for S1.00

ford, Connecticut.

a festive cow on Tuesday, escaping from
the shambles of Scarf, the butcher, on Main
street, with one end of rope around her
neck and the other dragging on the ground in
her bewilderment, walked composedly into
the dry goods establishment of Meyers Bros :,
amazing propristors, clerks and customers.
The passage was too narrow to permit an
about face and costly four by SIX foot pier
glass stood at the back end. Happily side
door was thought OF and open ned. and her boz
wins highness was quietly and gently escort
cd out. Not averse to the treatment already
received her inquirlng instincts led her into
the agricultural store OF smyth Il Sons, a
few moments afterward. The animal ap-
peared more bcwiidered than frightened and
did no damage whatever.

Capt. Tarlton, whose return from the Ken
lucky blue grass region we noticed last week,
brought with him the young fey, Ada Paul,
q iour-year-old mare that has taken the blue

trade. Their place of business will be on
Main street, east side, in what has been
known as the Chicago store room. Colonel
J. is an experienced and successful business
man. Milo b. Kellogg is known well and ia
yorably drought Sedgwick county. He was
one of the first men that ever tied up gro
cerics in these parts. liz fact, he came in
connection with an Indian trader before there
was white man here. Luck to the new

NJ r. Moser and A. j. Granger have en-
tered into co-partnership and will open up
s shop on an extensive scale. There are,
probably. no better mechanics or thorough
workmen to be found any where Any thing
that can be turned out from q forge anvil and
hammer can be made by these men. Their
regulations are thoroughly established and
they will make a strong team. Their idea is,
we believe, sooner or later to merge their
shop into mandatory of plows and wag-
ons. Mr. Granger has had ample experience
in the making of piows, and Moser has served
his time on wagons and buggies. We wish
III new firm success Their advertisement
will tell what they expect to do.
