Probabilities of The Next National
Census,

Not the least important OF the bills
introduced and which must be considered
at this session of congress is one provid.
ing for taking the ninth census and the
arportionment of representation under
it. 1t is claimed by the southern mem
bcrs that to protect the New England
and middle states the southern states
were not properly canvassed, and that
this omission shall not be repeated in
1880. On the basis of representative
for every $50, 600 inhabitants the state of
Texas, now having but six members in
the house, expects to be represented by
twenty members in the iorty-seventh
congress. Missouri, Illinois, Arkansas,
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota are Likewise calculating on an
increased representation, while the north.
ern states will endeavor to keep their
present number. The fact, therefore,
presents itself that the time is near at
hand when the present hall OF represen-
tatives will either have to be enlarged,
or the English system of allowing the
members only bench room be adopted.
The present number Of desks is three
hundred and two, which take up all the
space in the hall, crowding it, and it
would be impossible to provide room for
fifty more within the present limits OF
the chamber Under the last apportion-
mcnt the representation in the house was
increased Just fifty members, from two
hundred and fortv.twO to two hundred
and ninety.two. Since then Colorado
has added one to the number. Besides
which there are eight territorial delegate.
on the flor, seated. Members of the
present congress who seem to have life
lease on their SEATS favor the plan OF the
house of commons, which would c-mpel
members to carry on their correspondence
in committee rooms, and limit themselves
to the transaction Of business on the floor
of the house.-N. Y. Her1H.

WHO have not improved the opportu-
mites of their earlier years. The
former transact their business with
ease, promptitude and profit. They
rely upon themselves, and execute
what they have to do with energy and
dispatch. But those who shirked every
thing III their youth are compelled to
rely on their clerks and statesmen for
advice, and are never ready to act
when occasions Of profit arise. Many
parents commit a lamentable error
in this respect. They lead their chill
dren to believe shat they can do
nothing without the constant assist
ance of their Supegiors, and after awhile
the child becomes impressed with that
idea. Fortunate viii it be for him
when he emerges from the parental
roof, if he can at once acquire the self
reliance which has been kept down at
home--otherwis he mast necessarily
fail in whatever independent enter
prise he undertakes and in such a
case, while the misfortune is his own,
the fault lies at the door of misiudg-
ing parents rather than at his own. -

A LOng-Branch Mansion.

The most superb place in all Long
Branch is the private residence OF Mr..
John Hoey. which has become cele-
brated all over the country. Mr.. Hoey
has about 100 acres. The greatest dis.
play is to be found in the grounds,
statuary, and lighthouses, in all OF
which the owner has shown remarka-
bic good taste. The grounds are
beautifully graded with slate, which is
ground into small PARTICLES above New
York City, and brought by rail to Long
Branch. About the grounds are about
thirty pieces of statuary. The green
houses are very extensive. We passed
through one of twelve sections OF
seyenty-tive feet each, and one just be-
ing erected 400 feet by thirty. In
these houses there is the greatest floral
display, probably, in the country.
There is one specimen of the Latanica
Borbonica, a native of China, which is
said to have cost $500. One of the
greenhouses was brought from the
Vienna Exhibition in 1878, and cost
S., 900. The greenhouses altogether
are said to have cost $50, 900, and the
plants $4,000. They are lighted with
gas at night, and present a most en-
chanting appearance. In the summer
season all these plants are brought out
and occupy the ground in front of the
mansion-a space of about 1000 yards,
and number some 100000 plants.
About twenty-five men are employed
constantly during the winter season,
and about fifty during the summer -

Self.Reliance Necessary TO Success.

Self reliance, conjoined with prompt
itude in the execution Of our under
takings, is indispensable to success.
And yet multitudes live a life of vac
illation and consequent failure, be-
cause they remain undetermined what
to do, or. having decided that, have
no confidence in themselves. Such
persons need to be assured; but this
assurance can be obtained in no other
way than by their own success in
whatever they may attempt for them
selves. If they lem upon others.
they not only become dissatisfied with
what they achieve, but the success of
one achievement, in which they are
entitled to but partial credit, IS no
guaranty to them that, unaided, they
will not fail in their very next exper-
iment.
For want Of self-reliance and de-
cision of character, thousands are
submerged in their first essays to
make the voyage Of life. Disap-
pointed and chagrined at this, they
underestimate their own capacities,
and thenceforwaTd, relying on others,
they take and keep a subordinate po-
sition. from which they rise, when
they rise at all, with the utmost dill
Guilty. When a young man attains his
majority, it is better for him, as a
general rule, to take some independent
position OF his own, even though the
present remuneration be less than he
would obtain in the service OF othe rs.

HAVANA. July 90.
The English mail steamer from St. Thomas,
July II, has arrived. She brings advices from
San Domingo to the 1lth. The revolutionary
Generals Ortca and Almonte entered Puerta
Plata on the lSt, demanding an immediate sur.
render. The Governor Of tho place retrcated
To the fort; he thon sailed, attacking the rcvo.
lutionists. A hard contested street fight fol-
lowed, in which General Almonto was badly
wounded. His followers sn ffercd severely and
fed. Ortea escaped, and his whereabouts are
unknown.
Order was re-establishcd. Puerto Plata suf-
fcrcd little material damage. Business, how.
ever, is stagnant, Confidence has not been re-
established and an uneasy feeling prevails.
Fresh outbreaks are feared In San Domingo
City. President Baez has brought forward
claim of 10000 for expenses incurred by
him in the revolution which brought him into
power. He states that he borrowed S3O, 900
from parties in Curacao, payable with $4,000
