THE NEXT CENSUS.
What 1t VIM Probably show.

lffoh hhc ticSthnu hefhu.I
Preliminary steps have been taken in
the Senate looking to the passage of q
law for taking the census of 1880. II
no new law is passed, the work will be
done under the old law of 1850, which
is defective in many respects, and does
not provide for collecting as wide a
range OF statistics as is embraced in the
French and Belgian census reports,
which arc much the most perfect
known. It's schedules are notably in
complete under the heads of manufact-
ures. religion, pauperism and crime.
In 1868 special committee of the
House, under the craftsmanship of Gen.
Garfield, prepared, as the result of
three months careful research, an excel
lent bill. 1t passed the House, but the
Senate allowed it to die, 80 there was
nothing to do but to go on under the
old law. Fortunately the superin-
tendence of the census was put into the
hands of Gen. Francis A. Walker, who
brought to the task great zeal and in
telligence and full appreciation of the
value of statistics. Although seriously
hampered by the defective law, he pro-
duced work that was an immense i'm
provemept on all the previous census re-
ports. 1t is to him that we owe the
series of shaded charts of nativity, densi-
ty of population, wealth, intelligence.
agricultural products, etc.,
which give at glance information that
without them would have to be obtained
by hours of research from hundreds of
tables of statistics. Gen. Walker will
superintend the next CEN
sus, and it is evident that the Senate
intends to avail itself of his
knowledge and experience in the prepa-
ration of its bill.
The new census will not be as crafty
ing to our pride as a nation as were
those which recorded the progress of
previous decennial periods. We may
expect that the ratio of increase of popu-
ation will show q marked falling off:
that there will be comparatively small
Increase in mining, manufactures, and
railway mileage, and that the growth OF
owns and cities and of the far Western
States and Territories will prove TO have
been not at all extraordinary. The
greater part of the present decennial
period has been one of prostration or at
east of quiescenoe in business, and it
has been attended by no such phenome-
IA of expansion as marked the ten pre-
,eding years. The country has pot
been standing still, but it has greatly

The Romance of william y. O,Brlen.

Born in New York in 1886, poor as a
church mouse living here for thirteen
years as the poorest of the poor do live I;
stealing as stowaway or shipping as IA
cabin boy on board the ship Faralinto,
and arriving in San Francisco on the
9th of July. 1849, lad in his fourteenth
year, destitute alike of education, of
money and of friends beginning life as
barkeeper in an eating house IN the
basement of one of the San Francisco
stock exchanges and dying the other
day, leaving no wife or child behind him,
but fortune of certainly not less than
S15, 900, 900, and perhaps of SAC. 1000, 900
this is the outline of the romance of
William s. O'Brien, enc of the great
Bonanza kings; and stranger story
has seldom been told. Was It luck, or
was it natural sagacity and prudent dar-
ing that won for him and his three mill
ionaire associates their immense fort
unes? It is hard to say. The capri
cious dame Fortune had, no doubt,
much to do with it; but her favors
would not have yielded this bouDtiful
increase had they been bestowed OH
men devoid of some excellent business
qualities. 1t appears that O'Brien must
have been thrifty and saving in his
youth for at the time of the first mining
excitement he was keeping a saloon of
his own and acting as bis own bar
keeper He was seized with the fever,
went to the mines and made some money,
with which he went into business with
the late Col. w. G. Hoff. This connec-
ton was dissolved in two years, and
O'Brien then formed a copartnership
with w. j. Rosner, in the ship chand-
lery business. Meanwhile, however,
he was specializing in mining stocks,
ard here fortune smiled upon him.
His investments were cautious and in
small lots, but they almost always
turned out profitable, and he began to
grow moderately well off. He now
formed partnership with Mr.. Flood,
another successful stock operator, and
Messrs. Mackey and Fair subsequently
Joined the firm. And now dazzling
and unexampled piece of good fortune
awaited them. The Consolidated Vir-
pinia and California mines were opened,
and their shares were in the market.
By shrewd questioning of miners and
others. or by other means, O'Brien and
his partners satisfied themselves that the
lodes we're valuable-altho1gh there ia
NO reason to suppose even they dreamed
how valuable they were--and as quickly

Fall Rivers Blight.

Fall River, the great cotton-spinning
center of America, will long feel the
shock caused by the extensive defalca-
tions Of the treasurers of the Union,
Border City and Sycamore mills. This
New England town has always prided
itself upon its commercial honor and in
tegrity, and developments of systematic
plundering by men who had been trust
ed was severe blow. The first cotton
mill was built in Fall River in 1913. and
had 896 spindles. There were at this
time something like 200 inhabitants in
the little town, and the growth of the
place was very slow afterward. But in
1910 there were eight mills, with 80, O84
spindles, and the population had in
creased to about $500. In 1870 there
were eighteen factories, Sac spin
dies, and over $1,000 inhabitants. At
the time when the recent defalcstions
vert discovered, in April, the mills in
Fall River, about forty in number, had
something like $4,000 looms, 1,4O0,000
spindles, and produced annually 377,-
600, 900 yards of cloth. Not far from
$1,000 operatives were employed, and
the annual payroll amounted to nearly
So, 100000. 1t is evident that disturb
ances and Interruptions of any kind, in
such an important manufacturing town,
must be widely felt throughout the
country. In due time the busy life of
Fall River will be resumed, and her bus
mess men will have learned lesson for
future time. Harper's Weekly.

A Needle Twenty-three Years in q
NOman'S Body.

Twenty-three years ago, says Water.
town IN. Y. paper, Mrs. Ellen Phillips,
now residing on Factory street, Water.
town, lived in Utica. One evening,
while dancing her baby on her knee, she
felt sharp pain in her left foot, and,
on examining her slipper, found small
hole in it, as though made by needle.
She at once sent for doctor, who ex-
amined her foot, and pronounced his
opinion that no needle was in it, Sew
enteen years passed on; the circumstance
was practically forgotten. but six years
ago the point part of broken needle OF
less than half the length worked it's way
through and came from her left leg.
This brought to her mind the occurrence
of so many years before, and the pcrfo-
rated slipper was the subject of CONVEX
sation again for a time. In ITS turn it
was forgotten until last Tuesday, when
the remainder of the needle, the eye,
with little more than half the shank, was
pulled forth from her right leg, little
above the knee. After finding resting
place in this woman's body for twenty
three years the needle was not rusted,
although somewhat discolored. The
story sounds queer, but it is vouched for
by Mrs. Phillips and some of her neigh
bors, who believe her.

A Guinea for "a sIxpence.

A firm in New York seems unfamiliar with
the London story OF the man who offered to
sell real guineas at trife, but could find no
buyers. Geo. p. Rowell x Co.,-the "News-
paper Advertising Bureau" propose, for one
hundred CD dollars, to put ten-l.ne adver-
tiscment in some thirty standard weeklles and
to slide it into thousand other weekles free.
Do they expect people TO take the offer? Any
one acquainted with tho high rates OF these
standard wceklies can see that the thing is
ridiculous. Rowell Il Co. must know very
well that acceptances OF the offer would be 40
many H. ems to charge to profit and loss. We
retract our insinuatlon about their Ignorance
of that London story. They probably know IL
too well, aud arc shrewd enough, by taking ad-
vantage OF that human trait ut which The story
hints, to make stroke for fame az men OF
