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 foi taking the ninth census and the
apportionment of representation under
it. 1t Is claimed by the southern mem.
bers 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, 900 inhabitants the state of
Texas, now having but six members in
the house, expects to be represented by
twenty members in the forty-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 10 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 1t, and it
would be impossible to provide room for
fifty nore within the present limits of
the chamber. Under the last apportiou-
ment the representation in the house was
increased just ff.y mel,bers, from two
hundred and fJrty.two 10 two hundred
and ninety.two. Since then Colorado
has added one to the number. Besides
which there are eight territorial delegates
on the floor. seated. Members of the
present congress who seem to have life
lease on their seats favor the plan OF tho
house of commons, which would csmpel
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 Herald.

WAR NOTES.

The Russians are now almost in sight 81
the ancient city OF Erzeroun, and they will
have to fight the severest battle II the
A,iatic campaign to quarter themselves there.
They have occupied Hasan Kaleh, a strong
position on the road 10 Kars, about fifteen
or eighteen miles east OF Erzeroum. Another
Russian detachment is coming down from
Ardahan to Olti to turn Mukhtar's fanks at
Deviboyan. Deviboyan is on the crest OF n
range rising 1000 feet above the plain of
Erzeronm, and is considered, with the use OF
ordinary skill, almost impregnable. General
kohlman, a veteran Hungarian soldier with
Mukhtar, has fortified both Deviboyan and
Erzer0um, and they await the attack Of
Generals IIeymann and Tergusakofffrom the
east, while the Turkish General Hessan Bey
has gone to the Guirje Boghsz pass to cheek
the Russian columa advancing from OH.
The siege OF Kars in the meantime goes on.
The garrison consists OF about 10000 men,
and the eity is said to he abundantly provi>
stoned, 30 there is probably several months
work Tor the Russians there. Campaigning
in Armenia at this season Of the year is no
joke. II Is one Of the coldest countries in
the world, the mountains and elevated pla-
teaux which the Russians have to cross being
eight or nine thousand feet above the sea.

The Woman of Culture.

The cardinal mistake which irrational
opponents Of women's rights have made
is in libeling their actual intention by an
apparent pretense that woman in the
professions is to be something less of a
woman and little more of a man. The
women who. have successfully entered
the professions Of law, medicine and
journalism, and those who, like Mrs.
Livermore, carry finer culture than
many men into tho pulpit, are the best
answer to the charges so iippart y made
that woman ceases to be feminine
when she turns her brain to account in a
practical, honorable and capable way.
The vulgar absurdity that she is "wo-
manly" who darns stockings, scrubs
floors and carries garbage; and she is
wonanly" who devoles herself TO
gossip, fashion, dissipation and vice;
while she il not womsDly" who be.

The Scientific American contains the
first announcement OF what may be the
most wonderful invention of the day.
Nothing could be more incredible than

possible hereafter. II is true that the

are recorded by it, has the assurance that
his speech may be reproduced audibly in
his own tones long after he himself has
turned to dgst. A strip of indented
paper travels through a little machine,
the sounds OF the latter are magnifed,
aud posterity centuries hence hear us as
plainly as II we were present. Speech,
has become, as it were, immortal. The
Scientific American says:
The possibilities Of the future are not
much more wonderful than those of the
present. The orator in Boston speaks,
the indented strip of paper is the tangible
result but this travels under a second
machine which may connect with the
telephone. Not only is the speaker heard
now in San Francisco for example, but
by passing the strip again under the repro
ducer he may be heard tomorrow, or
next year, or next century. His speech
in the first instance is recorded and trans.
mitted simultaneously, and indefinite
repetition Is possible. The new invention
is pruely mechanical---no electricity is

principle has been found, and modiica-

than those already noted. Will letter

Mushroom.Culture In Japan.

The Japanese mode OF raising mush.
rooms, ~ described by Mr.. Robertson,
British consul, is as follows: About the
beginning of autumn the trunk, about
five or six inches in diameter, of the shu
or some other tree of the oak kind, is
selected and cut into lengths Of four or
FIVE feet; each piece is then cut length
wise into four, and on the outer bark
slight incisions are either made at once
with a hatchet, or the cut logs are left
till the following spring, and then deep
wounds, seven or eight inches long, are
incised in them. In the former case the
logs are placed in wood or grove, where
they can get the full benefit of the air
and heat; in about three years they will
be tolerably rotten in parts. After the
more rotten parts are removed, they are
placed against a rack in slantiDg posi-
tion, and about the middle of the ensuing
spring the mushrooms will come forth in
abundance. They are then gathered.
The logs, are, however, still kept, and sub
mitted to the following process: Every
morning they are put into water where
they remain till afternoon, when they are
taken out, laid lengthwise on the ground.
and beaten with mallet. They are then
ranged on end, slanting rs before, and in
two or three days mushrooms again make
their appearance. In Yen-shin the Gus
tom is TO beat the log 40 heavily that the
wood swel!s, and this induces mushrooms
OF more than ordinary size. II the logs
are beaten gently, a great number Of
small mushrooms grow up in succession.
