THE appointment of General Francis
A. Walker to be superintendent of the
tenth national census las been expected
as a matter of course by all who knew
how thoroughly well General Walker
had directed the previous census, which
he made more complete and more USE
full than any that had preceded it.
With the experience thus gained, we
may expect him to make the census Of
1880 a model Of completeness and ac-
curacy. OF the appointment of Mr..
Clarence King to be director of the ma
tional surveys it is impossible to speak
with such entire satisfaction, since
there was a very general feeling that
Professor Hayden, who was the actual
creator and organizer of these surveys,
ought to have been retained at the head
Of them. Mr.. King has had consider
able experience in the work, and he has
the advantage of being a popular man
and a graphic writer, his strength lying
rather in picturesque description tban
in scientific accuracy. If he turns out
a good executive officer his appoint
ment may prove to have been a wise
one, and this every n win hope.

The Latest Society whims.

1t seems that whist parties before
dinner and recreation after it are the
order of the day in London at present.
Happening to call the other afternoon
on a lady in Belgravia, says ATLAS, in
the London World, ito my surprise, on
being ushered into the drawing room, l
found no less than five whist tables 60
ing, half the players at which were la
dies; and 1 am bound to say, from my
subsequent experience, they had a very
formidable knowledge of how and when
to play the correct card. AS to the
recitations, it is now quite an ordinary
occurrence for a lady or gentleman to
get up in the course Of the evening to
recite something Both innovations
are, 1 think, much to be commended.
A good rubber is surely better than a
stupid kettledrum before dinner in this
weather, and Rotations are a decided
improvement o round game at cards
after dinner.

THE veterinary surgeon appointed
by the commissioner of agriculture to
inspect cattle at Chicago previous to
their shipment from there to the At.
lantic coast and thence to the English
markets, has been interviewed in refer.
ence to the cattle which were recently
slaughtered on the docks at Liverpool,
because they were diseased, and which
were alleged to have been sent from
that city. He believes that the
cattle alluded to were never sent from
Chicago, and that if they arrived in
England diseased, they became so after
leaving America. He also says that
there is no cattle disease at the Chicago
Stock yards.

Our Faces.

The human face is not only ''the in
dex to the SOUL" Every bodily sensa-
ton leaves its indellible impress upon
the features. Every human face, if
studied attentively, reveals the physi-
cal and mental history of its possessor.
On the crowded street of the city, what
volumes of these histories are open to
all who would search them! The miser
with his features drawn as tightly rs
the mouths of his money bags; the de-
bauchee with his sensual, semi-animal
face; the young man with the future
fair aiAd broad before him, every line
of his c~ountenance revealing energy and
ambition; the maiden's face bright
with innocent love and hope,-each of
these face-histories is as legible as the
printed page before you. But there are
other faces in which we may read sad
histories-faces of work-weary women
to whom living has become IN irksome
burden. The fatal alphabet of disease
is written upon every line of their coun-
tenance. Why will these ONE suffer
from those painful diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to the sex, losing besides
the charm and beauty of a bright beau
tiful face, when DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is a sure and effectual
remedy? Ladies who have used it pro-
nounce it to be woman's elixir of
health. Sold by druggists.

THE few able-bodied men whom
President Hayes has allowed to remain
in Ohio unprovided for seem to be di.
verting themselves by clipping with
other mems wives. There have beer
fourteen OF fifteen cases of this kind in
the one small town of Akron within q
few months, and according to the al.
manac we have just reached the begin.
ming of the season in which it is proper
to elope. 1t is impossible to tell from
one day to another what Ohio is coming
to, and on the whole 1t is probably
much better for public morals to put
Ohio men into the public service rather
than leave them at large to run away
with other folks wives.

Wonderfully Small Baby.

Several days ago the LEADER alluded
to the existence, at Fairfield Iowa, of a
tiny baby which weighed only 81
pounds at the time of its birth. The
Ledger Of that town sent q reporter
around recently to interview the parents
and take a look at the little wonder. 1t
is a girl baby, the daughter of DIR and
Mrs ]. S. Lowell, and, although twelve
weeks old, does not yet weigh three
pounds. During the past eight weeks
it has exhibited no indications whatever
Of growth.
In height, or rather in length, the
little girl measures nearly sixteen
inches; is not at all tieshy, is well form
ed, and indeed rather a pretty child,
and shows the ordinary intelligence of a
babe of her age.
A ring that fits the small finger on al
ordinary adults hand will go yer the
child's hand and arm to the elbow, its
wrist is about the size of a lead pencil
and its fingers the size Of rye straws.
Its foot is not large as anadult's thumb.
1t has a heavy head of hair, eats heart
lily, can cry Justify, is healthy, and al
though it has grown but little since
birth, gives every evidence of an I'M
usual amount Of vitality. 1t is indeed
a curiosity, and over four thousand
people have called to see it. The father
is a ~practicing homeopathic physician
and both parents are Of medium size,
and robust, healthy people as are their
other two children. They feel an un.
usual love for the tiny little babe, and
bestow upon it the tenderest care, and
hope that some day it will rival in size
those who may have been larger in

den and Hendricks every time. 1t is
the alliterative combination of Blaine
and Booth. Herein are united the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts by men
who are properly set in the interests of
the latter coast. Mr.. Blaine needs no
special mention to prove his capabili-
ties or his strength. He is team in
himself, for that matter. Gov. Booth
is on record as a man Of sense. He
declined the bauble of a vice-presiden-
tial nomination on the ticket with
Peter Cooper in '76, and his resignation
gave the blatant Sam Cary an opportu-
nifty to awkwardly round up the neither
end of that ticket. California will like.
ly go into the national republican con-
vention with her busy BIS, and insist
with characteristic vigor that they be
nominated.

The Bright Star Sirius.

If the eye is turned to the southeast,
a sta will be seen Enthusiastically out
shining the rest. 1t is Sirius in CAMS
Major, apparently the largest and bright
est in the heavens, and glowing in the
winter hemisphere with a lustre un-
equaled by any other star. This is the
famous Dogstar of the a%ncients, and
has been watched with interest ever
since men learned to study the heavens
by night. 1t would seem as If it were
nearer to the earth than the other stars,
but there are five that give evidence of
being nearer. Its size is computed to
be two thousand times that Of our sun.
1t has a companion star of tenth mag
nitude, distance about ten seconds from
the primary, and a difficult object to
see on account Of the overpowering
b~rilliancy of the primary. A system
revolving around such a glorious center
must form one of the grandest schemes
in the vast universe.

Rerieic, entitled "a Friend of LORD

memoir Of the Rev. Francis Hodgson,

James believes that the memoir fur.

Byron from the suspicious Of his wife

The conclusion at which Mr.. James

Lady Byron, which still remains a my.
stery, no blame attaches to Mrs.
