requisite to good crops is good seeds, care
fully planted in good ground aud grown and
selected with view to climate, soil and

In view VI the national enumeration
that Is 10 take place next year in all the
States oil tho Union, it becomes matter
Of some local interest to examine the
figures that recordthe population OF West
Virginia at tho two last decennial periods
oil the national enumeration.
The whole population OF the State In
1860 was $40 6SS, and Ia 1870 it was 49,
Ola. Showing an increase in the ten
years Of about l7t per cent, or
about II per cent per annum,
which Is, Of course, very slow rate Ct
Increase, but in part, at least, attributable
to the war and the events that grew out q
the war.
Al tho session Of the Legislature in
this city in lS75-76 special committee Of
the Senate made u report submitting an
estimate Of the population Of the State for
1875 and 1873, on the basis Of the number
Of ,ithables returned to tho Auditors
Office in 1915. BY this estimate they
made the population in 1875 to be 5lS,SiO
and in 1875 to be- 1884, 7l. The estimate
for 1875 would show an increase over the
census OF 1870 Of 7l,S2G, about l63 per
cent, or 81 per cent per amnum. That for
1870 shows an increase over 1870 OF o.
957, or nearly 81 per cent, or about 3! per
cent.
The population Of this Congressional
district in 1870 was l47 $50, and the esti'
mated population in 1875, on the ttthable
BASH, was le7, S7S, an increase of 2O,GSo, OF
arali. oll4.Ol per cent for the five years,
which would bc $50 per cent. for each
year.
The population oithe Second Congress
slonsl district in 1870 was l44, 02O, and the
estimated population in 1875 WAS 100 39Sr
an increase Of &c $50, ratio OF ll'5 per
cent, or at tho rate ESQ per cent. per an
mum.
The population OF the Third district in
1870 was 100, 74B, and the estimated popu
lation In 1876 was 1885,, all increase o.
s6,Vls, a ratio Of 90 per cent or at the rate
Of 4BO per cent. per Runum.
The First Congressional district includes
the following counties, and is the smalles

fact, and that is that the streets and alleys,

ANGEL, the sleek oily-tongued thief who
robbed the Pullman Car Co.-that impov-
erished firm that can't maintain itself unless
permitted to rob the traveller Of $500 for a
nights lodging-has been sent to Joliet to
serve term in the penitentiary. His trial,
conviction, the sight of the prison nothing
upset his calm philosophy. He seemed
wholly at peace with himself, and affected
to regard long stay in prison as a period
OF retirement from the cares, besetments and
responsibilities of life. He would be
furnished an opportunity to study
humanity, and he proposed to make
good use of his time to brush up that de-
partment of knowledge. It's quite safe to
predict that the considerate warden will
not insist upon imposing prison hardships
upon the elegant philosophic Angel,
because, in the first place, he
stole $l20,00O; and because, secondly
his Imprisonment is a mere form-a sort of
by-play that will terminate as soon as his
friends and those who were instrumental
in bringing about his conviction, can per-
suade the Governor to open the gates for
him to walk out free man again. Carriages
and a band of music will be in waiting,
and Mr.. Angel will be escorted back to Chi
cago, where he will be feasted and toasted
as martyr to Pullman's brutality, and not
as the constituencies thief and migrate, the
evidence declares him to be. In less than
twelve month thereafter he will be the occu-
pant of a Wabash avenue stonc-front man
sion, the President of Chicago savings
bank-a violent religionist, and the noted
patron Of the poor, whose savings he will
be squandering at the rate Of $4,000 an
nually.
