everything they say and do. The tend,
ency of the Republican party is be-
come anti republican, per1ously SO.
The unjust cry is, Better a, mon
archy than a solid South;g and the
silent soldier walks stately from
the Pacific to the Atlantic while the
name of third term is sweet in the
mouths of men and third nomination
for the Presidency only waits his &C
cep.auce. The Democratic duty is pru-
dent, united effort. The Democratic
Congress must be moderate, and must
not demand what the world now knows
it can not get. The extra session fxed
the boundary lines. The Republican
President eah not refuse TO grant again
what he has granted once; the Congress
should not demand again what it has
been once, or more than once, refused.
The prime mission is the salvation of
the republic from the tendencies that
mean its destruction. The future of the
Democracy thus lies in the path Of the
maintenance of free government, of
Democracy. Let not seotionalism or
oentralism rise above republicanism.

There was gypsy wedding in a pro-
bate court in Ooumbus, Ohio, the other
day. Two men, five women and three
children belonging to the band of wan
derers presented themselves at the court
and asked for license. The bride wore
a pink muslin dress slightly en- TAIN,
with shawl of many colors, and COM
mon black straw hat. Her hair was
straight and jet black, and on her fingers
we're two brass rings One of her sisters
wore white satin shawl and another a
silk dress, and both giggled iinmoder-
ately. A minister who happened To be
serving on a jury was sent for and the
ceremony was performed. A jollier
crowd never attended a wedding.
"What's the damageg asked the hus-
band, putting his hand in his pocket,
Anything you want to give" replied
his male gypsy companion. The preacher
received a, respectable fee. A vicious
young gypsy in a white dress, red WOODEN
jacket and garden hat covered with
white game, jumped up and congratu-
Ia ted the bride, when her companions
followed her example. Then the wed.

Growth OF the States.

Some new and important figures, pre-
senting the comparative growth of the
great geological divisions of the United
States, are given in an article by Robert
=. Porter, of Chicago in the Princeton
Rerie,e. The writer shows that the
growth in population of the Western
States in nineteen years (since 1861 has
been 1902, $50; that of the Southern
States 4,025,9S4; that of the. Eastern
state, 3,S0S,706; the increase in the
Western States being nearly 5000, 900,
or equal to the aggregate increase of the
Eastean and Southern States in the same
period. According to Mr.. Porter's fig
ures, the number Of persons employed in
manufacturing in the Eastern States in
1850 was 96,661 in 1860, 900, 107; in
1870, 1,273,S08; AT the present time,
1,734,S 1858. In the Western States, 5S,-
947 in 1850; 49, 45 in 1860; 300,62l in
1870, and 991,5l2 at the present time;
In the Southern States, l09, $3.50 in 1850;
1915 in 1860; 1S6,470 in 1870, and
258, $3.50 at the present time.
The local debts of these States in
1870 were: Eastern States $278, 535, :
500; Western States, 1914 1897, 64S; South
ern States, 800, $780, 129. The local debts
at the present time, according to Mr..
Porter's estimate, are: Eastern States,
1910, 1885, 48; Western States. s146,032,-

4 Perilous Adventure.

from tho Troy lfoaasl
Ever since the present railroad bridge
wasconstructcd across the rivcrat Cohocs
people have persisted in crossing it, not
wihsnnding the great danger to he APP
pretended from approaching trains.
There is no room by the side OF the track
for people to stand on, and in case of be-
ing caught on the bridge the only safety
lies in dropping down between the ties
aud hanging suspended over the river
that flows fifty feet beneath. There are
few who, after undergoing the ordeal of
so hanging until a train passes, would
have nervous force enough left to draw
themselves UP to safety, and a disaster is
almost certain, Last night Mr..
Jerome, residing in West Waterford, had
narrow escape, and was only rescued
by the timely arrival of several persons
who had seen his perilous position. He
was crossing the railroad bridge and had
reached about the center, when train
came laundering along There was no
time to return, and but a. moment was
spent in hesitation, when, braeing him
setf up for the terrible strain, he drop
ped his body between the timbsrs and
clung TO the cross-piece with his arms
clasped tightly about II. Tile train
passed and Mr. Jeromee ssayed the task Of
lifting himself up but he had not
the requisite strength. He shriekcd Tor
aid, andngainand agtin essayed theitask
of drawing himself up by the strength of
his arms. 1t was all in vain, and each.
struggle only served to weaken his frail
hold upon the timber. Death seemed
very near to him, and just az, he Yas
about relinquishing his hold, he heard
encouraging cries, and he rallied his lit
1 tie remaining strength for the last strug.
gle of life TO Mr.. Jerome it, seemed an
age before help arrived, but in reality it
was but few moments when, as his fin
gers were slipping, his arms were grasped
and he was saved The shock to his sys-
tenn had been great, and when drawn up
he wasunable to stand, and itwas with
great difficulty his rescuers succeeded in
getting him to the land, and to day he Is

EARTHQUAKES In China.

The North China HeraM publishes q
translation of memorial written ly
Tso rTsungtang, GoyeInor-GeDeral 81
Kansu, regarding the disastrous earth
quakes in that province q few months
ago. The shocks are said To have ex-
tended from the 18th Of June to the
18th of July, with greater or less sever
ity. and news Of the destructive effects
experienced in loss of life and demoli-
ton of property has been received from
no fewer than nearly thirty cities and
districts. The memorial says: "On the
list of July at about4 II. m. violent
shock occurred in Chieh Chow, Wen,
Hsen, and Hai-ho, making noise like
thunder and causing the ground to
open and water to rush out. The city
walls, as well as the public offices, an
cestral and other temples and private
houses were either levclcdito the ground
or split and rent asunder. The number
of persons crushed to death varied from
ten in some places to two and three
hundred in Others, in addition to which
large number of cattle were destroyed.
On receipt of the information the finan-
cial commissioner sent off agents to as
certain the extent of the damage, III or
der that relief might be sent, and at the
same time reported the circumstances to
the Governor-General. In the present
instance, both Shensi and Kansu have
simultaneously reported disastrous re-
suits from the earthquake, which has
been particularly severe in the east OF
kansu, though the amount OF damage
done varies, in different departments and
districts In some places one shock only
was felt; in Others, several in success
sion: while in others, again, they contin-
ued for the whole ten days, causing the
people to live in constant dread of be-
ing crushed. Many of them passed
their nights in the open air, and at mo
ments when the danger was imminent
their cries of distress were truly Piteous
to hear. There being no one to attend
to the animals, even more Of these than
of human being were injured or crushed
to death; while most Of the city walls,
temples public offices and private dwell.
ings were destroyed, and havoc wrought OF
far greater extent than in disasters Of an
ordinary kind Providentially, it SC
happened that the summer harvest had
just been gathered, and this being a
plentiful one, the measures OF relief re-
