A SENSIBLE CENSUS Law

had charge of the last United States CEN
sus, is here trying to effect some change
in the census laws of the country, SO that
the statistics may be obtained and clas-
siiied in some way that is fruitful of bet
ter results. 1t is well known that the
imperfections il the present laws render
the taking of census almost Il parody,
and the professor is anxious that Con
gress at this session shall SO improve and
complete them, that when the time comes
for the next census, 1889, which Is very
important, things will be on more sat-
isfastory and scientific basis.

Within the past eighteen years twelve
falls of meteoric stones have occurred in
the United States, of which specimens
have been collected. Eight of these falls
took place in the prairie region of the
Vest, extending from Ohio to Kansas,
and from Kentucky to Wisconsin, inclu-
sive. Prof j. L. Smith of louisville
gives map of this region in the Ameri-
can Journal Of Science and Arts, showing
the locality of each fall, and he states
that the aggregate estimate weight of the
eight was LOGO kilogrammes, equal to
more than $500 pounds. Going back
further. and taking a period Of sixty
years, Prof Smith finds that there have
been twenty well-noted falls in the Uni
ted States, ten of which were in the same
region and those ten weighed twenty
times as much as the ten which occurred
outside its limits.

HUMBLE ORIGIN. The late Senator
Morton, of Indiana, the greatest man of
the republican party, was apprenticed to
a halter at the age of fifteen, and followed
the business for four years. Andrew
johnson was tailor. Grant, though
not a statesman, was a tanner. Abraham
Lincoln was a rail-splitter. Millard Fill
more, when fifteen years ofage, was ap-
prenticed as a wool-carder and cloth-dres-
ser We bster and how many others were
farmer boys? Numbers of the most
noted for our public men have risen from
like stations to eminence, many of them
having been mechanics, and others de-
scendants of mechanics. Rober Sher-
man, of revolutionary fame was a shoe
maker, and the Shermans of to-day and
Mr.. Evarts are his descendants. Mr..
Hayes said IN one of his speeches that his
grandfather was mechanic. 1t did not
require any labor parties or labor organi-
cations to bring these men to the front.
Nothing obstructs the way of the mechan-
lc or other laborer in the highest posi-
ton If he has the capacity, the integrity
and industry requisite to the performance
of the duties involved.-Bdlt. San.

The folegone certainty that the demo.
Gratis are TO control the Senate during The
last half of Mr.. Hayes term tends To dis,
courage INSCRIPTIONS party zeal, and 1t Is
quite possible tlat the filing OF the Vacaut
seals may reduce tue republicans to a
minority Ia the present Senate. When
tier very slender majority eau bs main-
raided only by a reckless partisanship which
OVefrIdes justice, aud may be lost in any
event by tue refusal of barely two repub-
llcan Senators 10 20 all lengths, the party
Is practically bankrupt in The Senate OF the
Uuited States. If a Iherchaut were reduced
To such au extremity his credit would be
ruined.
THIS narrow and vanishing republican
majority III the Senate Is u great political
lnct which President Hayes cannot prudent
y ignore The usefulness OF his administra-
ton depends upon a reasonable support by
Congress. He is in very different posi~
uon from that III which General Grant
stood during the fest SIX years of his ad-
minstratlon when he had strong republican
najouties in both houses. Beyond the
mere routine OF executive duties President
Hayes can do little for the advantage OF the
country without the permission OF his pc
litlcal opponents. During the last half of
his term certainly, and for the first halt
possibly, he will have to depend on demo-
cratic votes to get his appointments cons
firmed, and no public measures which he
may recommend to Congress can possibly
pass without democratic approval. It.,
therefore, he desires to promote the public
veal he must abandon every thought of
being party President. He must attempt
nothing which is not clearly for the public
advantage, and by adopting this SIMPLE
rule he may win approval tor useful and
perhaps even a brilliant administration. As
ne Is pledged against seeking or accepting
a second term he has no strong personal
motive to sway him from course dictated
by high patriotism, and If he recognizes
the opportunities put in his way by this
unique situation he may leave our public
affairs in tar better condition than tnat Ill
which he found them.-N. Y. Herald

This very useful and elegant preparation is used

has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved and therefore not being liable to accu-

Carbonate of Soda or Potash, on account of its
aperient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial pleasing seda:ve and aperient, in all

An ounce or two OF this solution speedily removes

with it, directly after it. little lemon juice, mix

The antisceptic qualities of this solution OWN ,
to the presence of much carbonic acid have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fever. As
