How HE REACHED THE NAVAL SCHOoL.-The
Annapolis correspondent of the Baltimore Gazette
tells pretty story of Ensign A. A. Nicholson, Of
the Naval Academy, who has discovered method
to compute the velocity of light. The correspon-
dent says:
GLOW this bright young mathematician became
an officer of the American navy is interesting.
He is native of Poland but came young to this
country and settled in Nevada. In that state in
1864, there was competitive examination for an
appointment as cadet midshipman. The judges
decided that three competitors equals in pro-
fciency and the "right boy" politically speaking
received the appointment. Young Nicholson was
not the fortunate lad, but the congressman in
whose district the examination had taken place
was so well pleased with the little black-eyed
youth that he wrote him a letter and sent him on
to the President. Armed with this paper the Ne
vada boy crossed the plains and presented his Gre
dentials to Grant He read them and said, "Why,
l can't appoint you; have made all of my ten
appointments" As young Nicholson reached the
door to depart Grant called to him, "Come back
perhaps one of my ten will fail, and if one does
you shall have the place." He then wrote note
to the Secretary of the Navy and Mr.. Nicholson
took it to Secretary Robson. As he arrived the
information came that one of the Presidential ap-
pointees had failed and Mr. Nicholson was sent to
the Naval Academy, where he passed creditable
examination. In the interim of his appointment
and arrival at Annapolis the other boy had been
granted n examination, at which he passed and
went in and wore the uniform, whilst the Nevada
lad had the empty honors. Concluding that his
place had been taken he went to his boarding
house and began packing up for his homeward
journey. In this act Mr.. Nicholson received an
order to report at the Naval Academy and he went
in as the eleventh man."

gs- The Journals leading editorial last week
displayed more independence on the part of the
editor of that newspaper than anything we have
lately seen in its columns and we could hardly be-
Ieve our own eyes while read it. He adjures
the Democracy to nominate ticket composed Of
the best men of the party and shows the necessity
for honest primaries and a due regard for the
wishes of the people. He says "the day has pass
ed when blind fealty to the behests of party will
force voter to support a nominee merely because
he has succeeded in having his name placed be-
fore the people by the aid of party machinery"
That is true, but suppose the Democratic CONVEX
zion which meets in TOwsOntOwn on July 2stl,
should place one man upon the ticket who is no
tOriousIy unfit, either in point of education o.
character, would the Journal editor mark tina
man or would his "blind fealty to the behests o
party" induce him to swallow that one with thu
rest We shall wait and see.

A TRIANGULAR MARRIAGE-A curious matrimo-
NAL ENHANCEMENT is reported as having recently
occurred in Crittenden county, Arkansas A man
name Roseberry and his twin sons had married
Mrs. Glenn and her two daughters all on the same
day. For sometime everything passed off smoothly,
the father was very kind to his newly-made
daughters, particularly to Rachel the wife of his
son John. This feeling appeared to increase, till
finally the old man and Rachel ran off together
Pretty soon an intimacy sprang up between Robert,
Mary's husband, and the old lady. The old lady
was so wise, and had such broad experience, that
Robert never grew tired of profting by her coun-
sci. Another disaster. Robert and the old lady
ran away, leaving John and Mary, who, seeing, as
they were not blind, that they were left alone,
clasped themselves in loving embrace, for it
seems that they had loved each other from the
first They in turn abandoned the farm, which
had heavy mortgage upon it, and this triangular
marriage has been broken up, ending with
change of partners all round

ES- The death of the head of the Rothschilds,
Baron Lionel de Rothschild of the "LOndon
branch" is treated by foreign papers as being,
which it unquestiOnably is, of as much Importance
as the death of crowned head. The Rothschilds
are governed by traditions, and one of these ira
ditions places the unreserved control of the affairs
of the house down to the marriages of its members
in the hands of its chief. The son of the Roths-
child just dead has for years sat in Parliament,
and is generally man of note, but when the pur-
chase of the Suez canal shares was made on ac-
count of the British government it was found that
as far as his fathers business was concerned this
son was a mere clerk, and in no sense partner.
He succeeds now to the absolute power his father
welded over the greatest aggregation of private
capital the world has ever seen. Like his father,
he has the reputation of being a man of great
personal iberality. The health of the dead Roths-
child was poor, his temper was execrable, and in
business he was merciless, but his charities were
great, transformations, and on a broad scale.

FACTS ABOUT THE CENsUs-As the time for the
taking of the next census approaches much in
terest is attached to the matter and as a general
misunderstanding exists in regard to the mode of
appointing enumerators, the following law in re-
gard to the matter will save much unnecessary
correspondence and trouble when properly known:
The Secretary of the Interior on or before the first
day of March, 1880, shall appoint one or more
supervisors for for each State but the whole
number in the States and Territories shall not ex-
coed l5O The supervisors shall appoint the
enumeratOrs for the various counties of the State.
Any county exceeding 1000 in population shall
be divided into districts that no district shall
contain more than 1900 inhabitants. These
enumerators shall begin their duties on the first
Monday in June, 1880, and finish their work be-
fore the first day of July, 1880, thus requiring the
work to be done in less than thirty days. The
compensation will be two cents for each nhabi-
tan, two cents for each death reported, ten cents
for each farm, ten cents for each establishment of
productive industry. Applications for appoint
ment as enumerators must be addressed to the
supervisors of the State where appointed"

ES-The only point on which the Ohio Demo
cratic platform is able to eriteise John Sherman's
financial policy is in the increase of the bonded
debt From last December to last May the bond
ed debt has been increased $I43, 100000, and the
changes will be rung on this by every Democratic
sneaker from now till the funding operations are
completed, the increase being due to the issue OIL

the country will now have a little peace for few
