The Next CenSUS.

The political bearing of the census of
1880 is, OF course, very important. 1t
cannot but throw more Representatives
in Congress into the hands of the North
and of the Southwest. An honest cen
sus will probably increase the repre-
sentation of Texas, where the most
active colored men have gone, as well
as large numbers of white emigrants.
Louisiana will probably hold her own,
as well as the tranquil border States
Virginia, Kentucky and Tennessee, and
Missouri, South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama, and perhaps Arkansas and
Mississippi, will fall behind. Spring

"What Are You Going to Do About It? .

Because the penalties of physiological laws
are not executed speedily, some fancy they are
void But when the system breaks down, and
almost hopeless complications arise, which the
family physician, by reason of his limited expe-
rience, fails to relieve, the pertinency of the
above inquiry. is apparent. Many remedies
have been specially prepared for these cases,
and many physicians are bidding for their pat
ronage. As before making purchase of land,
search is required, and the title carefully
examined, so invalids should carefully investi-
gate the claims of any physician Offering to treat
chronic diseases. DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines are well known, and have effected many
cures where eminent physicians have failed, yet
to accommodate surgical and complicated cases,
and those DESTROYS of being restored speedily,
DR.. Pierce has erected an elegant sanitarium, at
a cost of nearly half million dollars No in
stitution in the world offers advantages superior
to those found in this establishment Half a
score Of physicians are in attendance, several
of whom have been prominently connected with
leading American and European Hospitals.
Every improved facility for fastening cure
that a liberal expenditure of money could Sc
cure can here be found Before fully deciding
where to go, address Invalids' and Tourists Ho-
tel, for circular.

How q Man Goes to Bed.

Speaking of how man goes to bed
an exchange says: "'There's where a
man has the advantage. He can I'M
dress in cold room, and have his bed
warm before woman has got her hair
pins out and her shoes united That's
how it looks in print, and this is how it
is really: I'm going to bed, my dear.
It's half-past 10.' No reply. Now,
John, you know you're always late in
the morning. DO go to- bed!' Yes, in
a minute he replies, as he turns the
paper inside out and begins lengthy
article headed The Louisiana Muddle.'
Fifteen minutes later she calls from the
bedroom: John, come to bed, and
don't keep the gas burning there all
night and, murmuring something
about the bill being big enough now,'
she creeps between the cold sheets,
while John reads placidly on, his feet
across the piano-stool and cigar in his
mouth. Byand-by he rises, yawns,
stretches himself, throws the paper on
the floor, and, Selling the shaker, pro-
ceeds to that vigorous exercise, shaking
the coal stove. Just at this stage not
altogether-pleasant voice inquiries: For
PHYS sake amt you ready for bed yet?
Yes, yes, I'm coming! Why don't you
go to sleep and let a fellow alone?'
Then he discovers that there is coal
needed. When that is supplied and rat
tied into the stove, he sits down to warm
his feet Next he slowly begins to I'M
dress and, as he stands scratching him
self and absently gazing on the last gar
ment dangling over the back of the
chair, he remembers that the clock is
not wound yet. When this is attended
to, he wants a drink of water, and away
he promenades to the kitchen. Of
course, when he returns his skin re-
sembles that of a picked chicken, and
once more he seats himself before the
fire for a last warm up AS the clock
strikes - he turns out the gas, and,
with flop of the bed-clothes and few
spasmodic shivers, he subsidies. No,
not yet; he forgets to see if the front
door was locked, and another flop of
the bed-clothes brings forth the re-
mark: Good gracious if that man
amt enough to try the patience of Job!'
Setting her teeth hard, she awaits the
final flop, with the accompanying blast
of cold air, and then quietly inquiries !:
Are you settled for the night?' To
which he replies by muttering: If you
amt the provokingest woman"

The Chicken Whose Name Was Charity.

A certain family in town are the fort
innate owners of fine large flock of
chickens, for nearly all of which they
have some especial name to designate
them. A few evenings since, just after
lighting the gas, two of the young ladies
of the house, who were sitting near a
window, were frightened almost out of
their senses by something flying up
on the outside of the windows and tap
ping against one Of the panes, evidently
trying to attract the attention of some
one. This something, upon second
look, proved to be nothing else than
one of their chickens, by the name OF
Charity" One of the young ladies
OWNED what the difficulty was, and

The Electoral Count.

Senator Edmunds' bill, providing for
an amendment to the method by which
the electoral vote has heretofore been
counted provides for the election on
the first Tuesday of October; that the
constitutional disqualification as elect
ors of those holding offices of trust and
profit under the United States shall
continue; that the electors cast their
votes on the second Monday in Janu-
airy following their election; further
that every State must enact laws in adj
vance for the determination of all dis
putes arising from the election; that
the decision must be made before the
time for the meeting of the electors !:
that the decision of the State is to be
conclusive evidence, aud to govern in
the counting of the electoral votes by
Congress; that there assemble a joint
session of the houses of Congress on the
second Monday of February following;
that the President of the Senate pre-
side thereat; that the vote be counted
by tellers; that objection be made by
members in writing; that each house,
separately, is to consider such obiec-
tons; that when there is single return
only from the State, no vote is to be re-
jected, except by an affirmative decision
of both houses; that in case of double
returns the decisions of the State tribu-
mails are to be given; that in case of
conflict between State tribunals, votes
are to be received only by the consent
of both houses; that if the State has
made no decision, then also there must
be concurrent vote of the two houses.
Such, in brief, are the provisions of this
important bill. It has passed the SEN
ate, and is now pending in the House.

A Wildcat Loose in a Theater.

There was fight advertised to come
off at the ALEXANDRIA Theater Sunday
afternoon, between an Eastern fighting
bulldog, named Turk, and forty-two-
pound wildcat, vicious brute, for 800
side-that is, the cat and dog were to
fight for their lives and men bet 800 a
side on the result. The fight was to be
followed by grand olio on the stage.
1t was an immense bill, and it drew. In
due time the cat was introduced upon
the stage, and was Immediately followed
by Turk; but, at the first kiss of the
dog the cat took to the audience, and
the olio, instead of being performed by
the troupe, was done by the specta-
tors, tooth and toe-nail accompaniment.
The first bound of the cat took it UPON
the piano of the orchestra. The pawer
of ivory left the swelling strain unfn-
ished, and turned a back handspring
over among the audience. The next
leap of the varmint" was at the contra
bass, and both player and instrument
went down instanter with broken heads.
The cat fingered lovingly moment
among the strings, as if to test their
quality, and then sprung out among the
audience. Then began an olio in dead
earnest, but not the one advertised, al
though the fight was over. It consisted
of ground and lofty tumbling, leapfrog
and such like feats of dexterity, all hav-
ing a single object-to amuse the audi
ence by glimpse of sunlight out of
doors and under the free light of heaven
once more. It was perfectly satisfactory
as a whole; each player did his best.
Time shortest on record $50. Every
thing went off we'll, especially the audi
ence. The cat was found few moments
later looking out of one of the boxes
and waiting for an encore.-Gold Hill

Cattle-Thieves Burned Alive.

There has been recently considerable
ttle-stealing going on among the cat
tie herds in Western Nebraska, and eat
tie men have been taking active steps
to capture and punish the thieves. In
consequence of these thefts two thieves
were on Tuesday night literally burned
at stake by mob,s the terrible affair
occurring in Custer county. The par
ticulars are as follows: It seems that
two men named Ketchum and Mitchell,
of bad character generally, were accused
of stealing stock. About a week ago
four herders went to the house of
Mitchell, on the South Loup fork, with
the intention of arresting him as we'll
as Ketchum. A fight ensued, the par
ties keeping up regular fusilade for
some little time, and during the melee
one of the herders named Stevens was
instantly killed. Ketchum and Mitchell
were arrested by the Sheriff of Custer
county, and placed in safe keeping.
On Tuesday night, while the Sheriff,
with posse OF men, was taking the
prisoners TO the county seat for trial,
the party was overpowered by mob of
about twenty-five men, who were all
masked and well-armed. They took the
prisoners away from the officers, tied
them to a tree and burned them to
death. The affair created good deal
of excitement. It will probably have a
salutary effect upon Western cattle
thieyes.-Omaha (Neb.) Telegram to

Lawyers in Congress.

In no other country is any such promi-
nence given to lawyers as in this. ltwould
be thought a wildly extravagant asser-
ton if we were to say that more than
half of all the important offices In the
United States are held by lawyers; yet
the statement would be far within the
mark. We have taken the trouble to
ascertain the proportion Of lawyers in
the present Congress.
In the United States Senate, for in
stance, are fifty-eight lawyers and only
twenty of all other professions and oc-
equations! From the States of Alaba-
ma, California, Delaware, Georgia, In
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts,, Min
nesota, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and
Wisconsin, the Senators are all lawyers
no other profession or occupation is
represented at all in all those great
States. Only two small States found
both their Senators outside the legal
profession-New Jersey and Rhode
Island. The States not included in
either of these classifcations send to the
Senate one lawyer and one who is not a
lawyer. Here we find almost three
fourths of the members of the United
States Senate lawyers.
In the House of Representatives it is
nearly the same. We have arranged a
table of members from the different
States by districts, figure one standing
for lawyer, and the cipher for man
of some other occupation. This inter
esting classification is as follows:

door was opened the whole flock went
quietly in, and nothing more was heard
of them until the next morning
