The Mother Rules the World.

1t is hard for young mother
who has not yet overcome the way
ward tendencies Of youthful nature
TO realize the influence she exerts
over her little ones. She is con
stantly surrounded by critical imi
tators who copy her morals and
manners. As the mother is, so are
her sons and daughters. If family
of children are blessed with an in
telligent mother, who is dainty and
refined IN her manners, and does
not consider it necessary to be one
woman in the drawing-room and an
entirely different person in every
day life, but who is always a true
mother and always a tender and
charming woman, you will invaria
bly, see her habits of speech and
manners repeated in her children.
Great, rough men and noisy, busy
boys will always tone down their
voices, and step lightly, and try to
be more mannerly when she stops
to give them a kind word or pleas
ant smile; for a true mother will
never fail to say or do all the pleas
ant things that she can that will
in any way help or lift up and
cheer those whose lives are shaded
with care and toll. The mother of

DR.. Bertillon, the French savant
has given the results of his study
OF the mortality statistics of every
country OF Europe. He comes to
| the onclusion that marriage is con
ducive to health, long life and NOR
atty, and is, so to speak, a limited
insurance against disease, crime and
suicide. He says that a bachelor
of twenty five has not better pros
pect of lie than a married man OF
forty five; that among widowers of
from twenty five to thirty, the rate
of mortality is as great as among
u arried men of fifty-five to sixty.
Taking the French bills of mortal
ity, he shows that while the annual
death rate among married men be-
tween twenty and twenty-five years
of age is rather under ten per 900,
bachelors at that age die at the rate
of sixteen and widowers at the rate
of nineteen per 1000. These fig
ures apply to the whole Of France,
while taking Paris, it appears that
the rate for men of between twenty
and twenty five years of age is 1877
per 1000 for married men, twenty
seven per 1000 for bachelors, and
thirty-two per 1000 for widowers.
With advanced life the difference
goes on increasing. With regard
to crime, DR.. Bertlllon asserts that
offenses against the person are fifty
per cent. less, and against property
forty five per cent. less among mar
ried men than among unmarried.
The difference is still more remark
able among women, amounting to

favor of the State can give il him.
The republicans have not forgotten
the exposure OF their frauds, maze

swamped than Robinson, towards
whom they felt kindly enough. But
in being sustained he demonstrates
the fact that the Democracy still Is
in the ascendant in the State, and
he may be accepted by the National
party as one who can carry the
State. IL only needs some man
now who can take along Indiana.
This again makes IL possible for
a western man to become President.
Taking 1t all into consideration, we
think our party has more cause TOR

Potter been defeated our situation
would have been truly depressing.

A Woman's Glove.

A woman's glove is to her what a
vest pocket is to man. But it is
more capacious, and in ninety nine
instances out of a hundred it is
much better regulated. A man viii
carry 5000 worth Of small change,
four matches, half a dozen tooth
picks, a short pencil, and yet not
be able to fnd a nickel or a match
or a toothpick or a card when he
wants it. Not so with a woman.
She has the least bit OF glove, and
in that glove she carries the tiniest
hand and a wad of bills and the
memoranda for her intended pur-
chase of dry goods and car tickets
and matinee checks and maybe a di-
minutive powder bag. We have no
idea how she does iL-how she man
ages to squeeze those thousand and
one things into that wee space. But
she does it every time, and the glove
never looks the least discomposed
or plethOric or rufiled. And when
a woman wants any article con
cealed about that glove she doesn't
seem to have the lea { trouble in the
world getting at il. All that is re
quired is q simple turn OF the wrist,
the disappearance OF two fairy fin
gers, and the desired article is
brought TO light. IL is "a wonder
that no savant can explain.

A LAND DER THE RIVER.

They tell me that sin never enters

That Jesus forever is there

Spoford- Kellogg Case.

Hon. Henry Spohord reached the
city yesterday and has taken pos
session OF his fine residence on St.
Charles street. His arrival brings
TO mind the fact that the Senatorial
committee OF investigation, headed
by Bel Hill, of Georgia, will be
here In the course Of three weeks TO
take testimo y in the Spofiord Kei
logg case. Some rich develop
ments are expected during the com
mittee investigation which. IL is
said, will place the Legislature
which elected Kellogg in more un
enviable light than IL has yet been
placed. II any OF the colored indi-
viduals who composed that body at
tempt to deny their afildavits as
they did in Washington, it is not
impossible criminal prosecution will
be commenced, and the penitentIary
will number them among its in
mates. The status of the Spofiord
contest does not seem TO be well
understood among the general pub
lie. According TO the Democratic
view, Kellogg holds his seat simply
on a prima facie case, which is sub
iect to contest. To Gust him would
only require a majority vote, since
he has never been confirmed in his
seat. Hence Judge Spofford's
friends think If they can make out
a good case against Kellogg, he is
bound to go by the board and

THE TENTH CENSUS.
An Important Notice to Agricul-
turists. Read and Act.

Washington National Republican !:
Gen. +, A. Walker, Superintendent
of the Census, has issued a circular
in relation to productions of agri-
culture, intended 10 secure greater
accuracy than in the last three cen
suses in the agricultural schedule.
By the act of March Sd, the returns
are required 10 be made of the chief
productions on agriculture "during
the year ending June lst." There
is no distinct agricultural year that
ends June /, and there is reason TO
believe that the statistics of agri-
culture from 1850 to 1870 in regard
to many principal products en-
braced portions of two different
crops, as the enumeration was pro
tracted through several months.
The liability to error is decreased
by the limitation by law of the time
for the present census to the month
of June. There are certain pro-
auctions, as dairy products, meat
etc, when the product is gathered
d ay by day, which should be given
for the year from June 1st, 1878 10
May 81, 1879.
In view of the requirements of
the law and of the great Importance
of accurate statistical information
relative TO agriculture, it is deemed
to be highly desirable that farmers
should prepare themselves in al
vance to give the information with
promptness and accuracy. 1t is
urgently recommended, therefore, |
that agricultural journals and the
officers of agricultural societies and
clubs give publicity to the an
nouncement, and that all persons
engaged in agriculture who shall
receive this circular, or shall see 10
in the public prints, make notes
from time to time of the quantities
and value of their crops gathered,
and the number Of acres of land
planted, in order that their state
u ents, when made to the enumefa
tors, may be of the highest posi-
BILE value.
To remove any doubts that may
arise concerning the crops to be re
turned in the census, the following
table presents the several crops
specifically mentioned ia the agri-
cultural schedule, arranged accor
dinghy as they fall into the calen-
dar year 1879 or that of 1880, or TO
oe returned for the twelve months
beginning June 1, 1879, and closing
May 81, 1880.
OF the crop of the Calendar year
of 1S79-Wheat, corn, rye, oats,
buckwheat, rice, tobacco, cotton,
potatoes, peas, and beans, orchards,
vineyards, small fruits, hay, clover |
seed, grass seed, hemp, flax, flax |
seed, sugar cane and sorghum
acres and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of hives, pot nds Of honey and wax.
OF the crop of the calendar year
of I9S0-Wool-number of feeces

maple molasses, gallons.
OF the yield of twelve months,
ending May 31-Butter, cheese,
milk sold: quantity animals slaugh-
value; market gardens
acres and value; forest products
and home manufactures-value.
1t is believed that by calling the
of those interested TO the !
subject the efforts Of the bureau he
greatly facilitated, and it is to be
hoped the press will give general s
to the circular.

widow, of $500 Chambers St., Bos-

Congressman Aekien, of Louisi
ana: The Majority OF the people Of
my State and of the South have nc
use for Tilden; that is, they don't
like him, and would prefer any 9th
er candidate who could win. A
great many though, notwithstand
ing their dislike, look upon the
matter as a mere mathematical
problem. The nominee of the Ma
tIonal Democratic Convention is
sure of 1873 votes from the South.
We look upon Indiana as a safe
Democratic State, which adds fif-
teen votes to the 13S-making 1853
in all. Now, what do we want?
We want New York, don't we?
New York's vote makes 1873 cleo
toral votes of the Electoral Gel
lege-three more than are nee
essary to elect. Now, who can get
them? My answer is, Samuel j.

of all others named, will be able to
carry New York. Hence he will
probably be the nominee.
