our Population I'm 1850


st. Louis Republican,
The census of 1870 showed the
population of the United States to
be 3S,ll5,G41. In a little more
than two years another decade will
have closed and we shall be taking
the census Of 1880. What will the
population be then? Since 1870 q
local census has been taken in fif-
teen States, viz: Four Eastern
Massachusetts,, New York, New
Jersey and Rhode Island nine
Western, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan.
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebras ska.
Nevada, Oregon and Wisconsin, and
two Southern, Louisiana and South
Carolina. The aggregate popula-
tion of these fifteen States in 1870
was 1850, 636, and their aggregate
population by the local censuses
taken, some in 1874, some in 1875
and some in 1876, was 1886, O20.
the increase being 2,253,3S4, or a
little over Is per cent. If the same
States increase their population at
the same rate till 1880 they will
have an aggregate of 1915, 4O4 in
that year. The other twenty-one
States, omitting Colorado, had a
population in 1870 of 23, sos. .O05,
the increase from 1860 having been
l32 per cent. A similar increase
for the present decade would give
them in 1880 a population of 26,-
GIG, 1894, and this added to the esti-
mated population (l9,115,4O4) of
the other fifteen would give As, 731,-
79S as the total population of the
United States in 1880, exclusive Of
Colorado and the territories-or
say 46,000,000 for the whole.
This is the estimate. But it is
probable that the actual figures Of
1880 will fall short OF it, Notwith-
standing the war that prevailed
during four years of the last decade
1t was a period Of large immigra-

The boy should have known bet
ter at his age than to let out family
secrets, but he felt grateful to the
other boy for the use of his stills,
and he softly remarked.
"Father wasn't home all last
night, and he hasn't come home
yet"
Gone off," queried the owner
of the stills.
"He's down town somewhere,
we expect, and ma says she amt
going to run after him if he don't
come home for a month"
"Did they have fuss?"
"Kinder. You see we had to
let the coachman go, cause its hard
times. Yesterday afternoon ma
wanted pa to black up and drive
her out in style. He kicked at
first, but when she got mad he
caved in aud fixed himself up so
you couldn't tell him from a regu-
lar darkey. When he drove around
ma called him Pete, and ordered
him to back up and 60 ahead and
haw and around, and he got up on
his ear and drove back to the barn.
Them duds came otf'n him like
lightning, and he was SO mad that
he didn't stay long enough to wash
the black off his ears"
'And what did your mother
say?" asked the other.
"Nothing. She looked little
sad around the mouth, but she'll
fetch him to it if it takes all winter.
He might as well come home and
begin to learn how to burn cork"

sort of likeness of a man drawn
upon the rock. The incident oe-
casioned a deal of talk about an
cient creations, and the idea of
getting up a second Cardiff giant
was then favorably discussed. The
party agreed to undertake the task,
and a stone-cutter named Saunders,
who had been working in the yicin-
ity, and known to be a clever hand
at modelling, was at once sought
out and an agreement made for the
figure. While the plan was in pro-
gress one of the party, in a joking
way, said the thing ought to have
a tail, as in ancient times men had
tails six or seven inches long. 1t
was decided among the party that
the figure should be known as a
petritied Aztec Indian, and that
they would resurrect him after six
months and impose him on the
public as such. The stone-cutter,
not seeing the Joke, set to work
and made the figure, with tail APP
pended. The price paid the arti-
san was $135, and after he had
completed the figure it was buried.
The Muldoon was made out of
sandstone and dried by the cabin
fire, which partly accounts for the
little moles on the surface. After
the burial-two feet from the sur
face of the ground-the party went
their ways to await the resurrection.
A few Of the prospectors had got
wind of the proceedings and were
keeping an eye on the party, and 50
they dispersed in different direc-
tiOns. Finally they became scat
tered, some in New York and the
remainder in different portions Of
the country. had forgotten nearly
about the matter when the discoy-
cry was chronicled in the papers.
But | considered it best to keep still
about it, and it was only through
accident that said anything in
regard to the matter"

TYPOS AS ACTORS.
The Theatrical People Who ReRAu
Life In Printing Offices.

"Printers!" did you say, remarked
Mr.. Stuart Robson inquiringly of
the Sun reporter few nights ago.
as he was on the way to Boston
train. "Why, my dear boy, all our
leading actors have worked with
the stick and rule at the case. It's
the most natural thing in the world
for printers to become actors and
for writer's and players to rub ell
bows together"
"How do you reason out your
theory"
Setting type is composition. A
printer couldn't write an ungram-
matical sentence if he tried. So
with writers. Writing is but an
other word for acting. Both are the
literature of thought, if you will
allow the expression. It's art; and
it's the most natural thing in the
world, / should fancy, for printers
to drift from the case to the stage
or the editorial sanctum."
"Who of the actors of the pres
ent day are printers by trade ?"
"Let me see," said Mr.. Robson,
muslngly. "There's j. H. Stod-
dard, one Of our best old men; he
was a typo, and a good one too.
Then there's Montague, of Wal
lacks; one wouldn't think to see
him bowling up Fifth avenue be-
hind his span of bang-tail thorough
breds that he was once a printer"
SIS that so?" queried the reporter.
81 heard that he was in some way
connected with a nobleman, and
that he has had the exceptional ad-
vantages of good surroundings and
a university education"
"You've been misinformed, nv
boy. Montague, the gallant that half
Murray Hill is breaking its heart
over, was type setter on the Lon
don Era, and that at not a very re-
mote period, either. Then there's
Harry Crisp and Lawrence Bar.
rett; both were printers. Barrett
had an humble origin, but he had
been studious, and is now one of
the best read men in the profession.
John Moore, Of the Fifth Avenue
Theater, is another typo. Joe JEFF
ferson, the best actor Of modern
times, once earned his bread at the
case. So did that capital comedian,
W. II. Crane; so did William War
ren, of Boston, and Charles Burke,
of Philadelphia. Of dead actors
who achieved worldwide fame,
William E. Burton and James w.
Wallack, Jr., belonged to the craft.
John Parselle was compositor.
So was your humble servant, but I
think | was better printer than |
am an actor. | believe Neil Bry-
ant was a fyboy; and l am sure
Barney Williams was one. Steve
Fiske, of the Fifth Avenue Thea
ter, had something to do with news
papers, but | am not certain that
he was ever employed in compos.
ing-room. Theodore Hamilton,
another good actor, was sub.
printer for years. l had almost
forgotten Charles Fisher. He used
to stick type like a race horse, Not
long ago he told me that he went
into a printing Office for the first
time in thirty years. He said he
found the situation of all the boxes
readily, except the receptacle for
the interrogation marks, and that
wanted to know what the mischief
| was doing there ?''

political nature since. There has been no
prescription on account of political opinion,
and, general peace prevails throughout the
county. The only disquiet that prevails Is
attributable to the unsettled state of affairs at
the Capital of the State and it is the grand
iury's humble opinion that the Hampton
government is the legally-constituted govern
ment, and that the So called Chamberlain
government exists only by usurpation; and
they are firmly convinced that if Hampton
and his colleagues in office were allowed to
perform their legal functions in an untram-
meled manner, peace and prosperity would
once more smile upon this afflicted State.
In conclusion, they would express their

that if any person in his Circuit attempted
to exercise The duties of any office under a

justice will not have the pleasure of discharg-
