The shadow Of an Asa.

The Greeks had a proverb that
ran thus: "TO dispute on the
shadow of an ass, This took rise
from an aneodote which Demos
themes is said to have related TO the
AthenianS to excite their attention
during his defense of o criminal
which was being but inattentiyely
listened to. GA traveller, he said,
once went from Athens to Megara
on a hired ass. 1t happened to be
at the time of the dog-days, and at
noon, He was much exposed to
the unmitigated heat of the sun
and not finding so much as a bush
under which to take shelter. he
bethought himself to descend from
the ass and seat himself under it's
shadow. The owner of the donkey,
who accompanied him, objected to
this, declaring to him that when he
let the ANNA the use Of its shadow
was not included in the bargain.
The dispute at last grew SO warm
that it got to blows, and finally gave
rise to an action of law After
having said so much, Demosthenes
continued the defense of his client:
but the auditors, whose curiosity
he had piqued, were extremely
anxious to know how the Judges
decided on 60 singular a cause.
Upon this the orator commented
severely on their childish Injustice
in deyouring With attention a paltry
story about an ass's shadow while
they turned a deaf ear to a cause in
which the life of a human being
was involved. From that day, when
a man showed a preference for dis
cuSSing small and contemplate
subjects to great and important
ones, he was said "to dispute on
the shadow of an ass"

Mayo appeared at tae theatsr in the role
of "Davy Crockett" The play does not
10 the slightest manner refer to Davy
Crockett, the old time-honored Tennes-
seean and Texan, consequently it must
refer to another family Of Crocketts
somewhere on the frontier in the great
West. It is a backwoods play, the dia.
logues and scenes being peculiar to from
teer life, and consequently quite a favor
lite with the boys in the gallery who have
become infatuated with Bsadle's dime
novels, Of the Observation-Disclosures order Of

carried to some city and is brought up in
a civilized manner She returns to her
old home in company with her guardian

wolves and worse men, carries her off on
horseback and mArries her, like Young

The Angelna nrII.


To the traveller in panishAmerica
the striking of the "Angelus" ex-
ercises u potent charm. AS the
usage requires every one to halt, no
matter whore he may be, at the FIRST
stroke of the bell, to interrupt his
conversation, however important,
and listen without stirring until the
of the chime, the singu-
larity OF the whole population sur-
prlsed IN . moment as it comes and
goes, held in a state of petrifaction,
and paralyzed as if byan encounter,
may be imagined. On every side
you see gestures interrupted,
mouths halt opened for the arrested
remark, smiles lingering or passing
into an expression of prayer; You
would fancy them q nation of
statues. A town in South Amer
lea, at the tinkle of the Angelus,
resembles the city in the Arabian
Nights" whose inhabitants are
turned into stone. The magician
here is the bell.ringer but hardly
has the vibration ceased when the
universal murmur arises from these
thousands Of oppressed lungs.
Hands meet hands, question seeks
answer, conversations resume their
course, the horses feel the loosened
bride and paw the ground dogs
bark, babies cry, the fathers SING,
the mothers chatter. The acct
dental turns thus given to CONVEX
sation are many.

An Enormou. Vote.

The total vote Of the United States at the
Presidential election Of 1872 was 643l lao.
That year the four great Northern States-New
York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, cod Illinois with the
two greatest of the old Southern States-Mis-
souri, and Kentucky-polled 2,s02 093 votes or
As aud 5I-l00ths (45.57) of the whole. This
year the same six States polled 3,57ss5S. This
Us 776765 or 2Is4 per cent, very nearly. more
than they poled 10 1872. An equal per cent Of
increase 10 the vote of the thirty seven States
Which participated in the 1872 election. leaving
Colorado out gives n total vote for November
4. 1876. OF S2l5192, or an increase of .1S4 ,643
over the Presidential vote four years ago. Al
lowing the Ordinary yearly accreton of popua.
tion throughout the country g per cent? as
shown since 1880, for the two years from 1870
to and including 1872, the vote Of that year was
TO the total population as l is Oh. Applying
the same ratio to the estimate OF total popula-
ton in 1876, we have the astounding figures OF
81, S4S,700 as the total population. This, Of
course, is impossible. There has been no such
increase. The TACT is that all over the Union a
most extraordinary vote has been called out by
the exciting character OF the contest-probably
as high as one vote TO every five and one quar-
ter or FIVE and one-fith oil the whole population.
This ratio wouli give the State OF New York.
with her l,0l4,l4l votes, total population OF
1924 240; Pennsylvania. 4 900 600; Ohio, g.
453 sol !; and Illinois, 2S4Sl40. THIS ratio
would give the six great States above named u
total population this year OF Is IS9 ,004. By the
the next decade, when the national census snail
be taken, they ought TO have about 81 900 900.
