suspicious entertained by persons CONVEX

action of the house in providing for its in

fraud in Louisiana-fraud everywhere. What

out among them? Yet we find them on
terms of intimacy and good fellowship with
republicans high in authority and closely
identified with Mr.. Hayes and his interests.
They have placed a lasting stain on the

the ola Maid OF the Period.

She don't shuttle around in ''skimpt" raj
ment and awkward shoes and cotton gloves,
nor has she hollow cheeks The modern old
maid is round and jolly, two dimples in her
checks, and has laugh as musical as a bobo-
links song. She wears nicely fitting dresses
and cunning little ornaments about her
plump throat, and becoming little knots and
bows. She goes 10 concerts and parties. and
suppers and lectures, and matinees, and she
don't go alone. She carries dainty parasol
and wears killing bonnets, and has live poets
and philosophers in her train. In fact, the
modern old maid is as good as the modern
young maid-she has sense and conversation
as well as dimples and curves-and she has
banks and dividends.

Natural Selection.

Investigators of natural science have demon
strated beyond controversy, that throughoutthe
animal kingdom the "survival of the fittest" is
the only law that vouchsafes thrift and perpe-
tuity. Does not the same principle govern the
commercial prosperity of man? An inferior
cannot supersede superior article. Illustrative
Of this principle are the family medicines of R.
Y. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, n Y By reason
of superior merit, they have outrivaled all other
medicines. Their sale in the United States
alone exceeds one million dollars per annum,
while the amount exported foots up to several
hundred thousand more. No business could
grew to such gigantic proportions and rest upon
any other basis than that of merit. It is safe
to say that no medicine or combination of medi-
cines yet discovered equals or can compare
with DIR. Plerce's Golden Medical Discovery, for
the cure OF coughs, colds, and all pulmonary

THE NEXT CENSUS.
What It VIII Proba bly, Show.
from the Cleveland HERALD


Preliminary steps have been taken In
the Senate looking to the passage of a
law for taking the census of 1880. If
no new law is passed, the work will be
done under the old law of 1860, 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 are much the most perfect
known. It's schedules are notably in
complete under the heads of manufact-
ures, religion, pauperism and crime.
In 1868 a special committee of the
House. under the craftsmanship of Gen.
Garfield, prepared, as the result of
three months careful research, an excel
lent bill. It passed the House, but the
Senate allowed it to die, SO 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
provement on all the previous census re-
ports. It is to him that we owe the
series of shaded charts of nativity, densi-
ty of population, wealth, intelligence,
mortality, agricultural products, etc.,
which give at a glance information that
without them would have to be obtained
by hours of research from hundreds of
tables of statistics. Gen. Walker will
undoubtedly superintend the next GEN.
sus, and it is evident that the Senate
committee intends to avail itself of his
knowledge and experience in the prepa-
ration of it's 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-
lation will show marked falling off;
that there will be comparatively small
increase in mining. manufactures, and
railway mileage, and that the growth of
towns 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
least of quiescenoe in business, and it
has been attended by no such phenome-
ma of expansion as marked the ten pre-
ceding years. The country has not
been standing still, but it has greatly
moderated It's pace.

Origin of Lynch Law.

James Lynch was Mayor Of Galway.
Ireland, in 1473. He had made several
voyages to Spain, and on one occasion
brought home with him the son of re-
spectacle Spanish merchant, named
Gomez. Walter Lynch, the only son of
the Mayor of Galway was engaged to a
beautiful young lady of good family and
fortune. Preparatory to the nuptials
the Mayor gave splendid entertain
ment, at which young Lynch fancied
his intended bride viewed his Spanish
friend with too much regard. He &C
cused his beloved Agnes of unfaithful-
ness to him, and she, irritated at his
injustice, disdained to deny the charge,
and they parted in anger. On the fol-
lowing night, while Walter Lynch slowly
passed the residence of Agnes, he OBJ
served young Gomez to leave the house,
he having been invited by her father to
spend that evening with him. In the
madness of jealousy, Lynch rushed on
his unsuspecting friend, who fed to q
solitary quarter Of the town near the
shore. Lynch maintained the pursuit
till his victim had nearly reached the
waters edge, when he overlook him,
and stabbed him to the heart, and threw
the body into the sea- which cast it back
again on the shore, where it was found
and recognized ON the following morn
ing. The wretched murderer surren-
dered himself, and his father being chief
magistrate of the town, intrusted with
the power of life and death, found him.
self obliged to condemn his son to death.
On the night preceding his execution,
his mother went to the heads of her fam
lily and prevailed on them to attempt a
rescue. The morning of the execution
an immense crowd had assembled, who
cried loudly for mercy to the cu1prit
The Mayor exhorted them to submit to
the laws; but, finding them determined
on rescue. he, by desperate victory,
overcame parental feelings, and, finding
that his efforts to accomplish the enos
Of justice in the usual place, and by the
usual hands,. were fruitless, he became

Fall River, the great cotton spinning
center of America, will long feel the
shock caused by the extensive defalca-
lions of the treasurers of the Union,
Border City and Sycamore mills. This
New England town has always prided
itself upon it's 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 1876 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, 544.606 spin
dies, and over $1,000 inhabitants. At
the time when the recent defalcations
were discovered, in April, the mills in
Fall River, about forty in number, had
something like $4,000 looms, 100000
spindles, and produced annually 377,-
100000 yards of cloth. Not far from
$1,000 operatives were employed, and
the annual payroll amounted to nearly
$5,000,0OO. 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. -H0rper's Weekly.

Phenomenal Rifle Shooting.

DIR. Carver, of California, recently
gave an exhibition of his wonderful skill
with the rife at Des MONIES, Iowa. His
first feat was that of holding his rife
upside down on the top of his head and
hitting glass ball thrown in the air at
a distance of about eighty feet from
him. He then, while lying on his back,
with the rifle turned upside down, hit
ball at the first trial. His next shot
was standing with his back to the ball,
and sighting from a mirror held in front
of him, hitting the ball the first shot.
The next shot was that of holding his
rifle on his hip without aim. Four balls
were thrown, the first two of which he
hit, and the last two he missed. Then
he attempted to hit 100 balls thrown rap
idly in the air, and succeeded in hitting
eighty-four. His next attempt was with
silver coin. Being Californian, silver
is apparently of little value with him,
and he shells it out literally for targets.
The first thrown were half-dollar pieces.
which he knocked into fra ments. The
first he hit, the second he missed, and
the third he knocked out of sight.
Observation-Disclosures were xtthrown,
which he hit the fourth shot. Five half
dollars were then thrown, each of which
he hit the first time. Three were recov-
cred and two were lost. A glass ball
was then thrown about fifty feet in the
air. He loaded and shot twice at it.
breaking it the second shot.
Another ball was thrown in like man
ner, when he made three shots, hitting
it the third shot before it reached the
ground. This feat was probably never
equaled with rife. Ten glass balls
were next thrown in quick succession,
and broken in twenty seconds. From
distance of about 100 feet ball was
thrown straight at the doctor, who broke
it before it got half the distance. The
man who threw it is said to have dropped
like stone after delivering it. A nickel
was then thrown up about thirty feet
distant, and he sent it whizzing into
space. The Doctor sent a bullet through
the center of nickel, and the coin was
recovered.
His last feat was to shoot at balls
thrown up at the same time. He missed
the first and second, but hit one of both
balls until the eleventh and twelfth
trials, when he broke both balls. Tt is
understood that in all his double and
rapid shots he uses but one life. which
he loads every shot. It is Winches-
ter, model OF 1878, calibre A, using
forty grains of powder. He uses moth
ing but common, plain open sight.

The Romance of william 5. 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 :
stealing as a stowaway or shipping as %
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
$15, 100000, and perhaps of $40. 00O,0 900
this is the outline of the romance of
William S. O'Brien, one 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
unesS 1t 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 bouptiful
increase had they been bestowed on
men devoid of some excellent business
qualities. It 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 saloon of
his own. and acting as his 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
OBrien then formed a copartnership
with w. j. Rosner, in the ship chand-
lery business. Meanwhile, however,
he was specializing in mining stocks,
and 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 of. He now
formed q partnership with Mr.. Flood,
another successful stock operator, and
Messrs. sMackey and Fair subsequently
joined the firm. And now "a dazzling
and unexampled piece of good fortune
awaited them. The Consolidated Vir-l
ginia 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 were valuable-althoagh there is
no reason to suppose even they dreamed
how valuable they were-and as quickly

as possible they bought up the shares
until they possessed nearly the whole Of
them. The Big Bonanza was discovered;
the unexampled richness Of the lodes
was disclosed; million after million of
the finest silver and gold ore ever found
came to the surface the shares went up
to fabulous figures, and O'Brien and his
partners found themselves almost in
credibly rich. They established the great
Bank of Nevada, and from that time on
they have been the money kings of the
Pacific coast.-NeW York Graphic.

Our Wool Trade.

The United States produces 100, OOO,-
900 pounds of wool a year, just half of
what Germany produces, and 25, 900, 900
pounds less than either Russia or
France. Great Britain produces $780,
100000 pounds; Spain, Italy and Portu-
gal together produce no more than
we singly. Altogether, the world
produces about l, 100000, 900 pounds
Of wool, Of which Europe gives
one half. Wool is the principal
product of Australia, ], and it has
made her cities larger than New Or
leans. Ohio has 6, 10000 sheep, which
could all be grazed in the Laramie val
ley alone. Buenos Ayres has Is, 600, 900
head of sheep. The great plains of
America will ultimately supply the
mass of wool for the world.
