Mr.. Benjamin Butler was in his youth
destined by his mother to become Baptist
minister, and she sent HIM to Waterville
College for preparation. Mr.. Bland, a new
biographer, relates that one of the professors
delivered a sermon in the chapel, in which
he said 81. None but the elect can be
saved. |. Of so-called Christians probably
not one in hundred will be saved. 8.
Heather people will have more consdera
ton Of the Almighty in future life than men
or Christian nations, who hear but do not
profit by the Word ofGod." After hearing
this sermon young Butler petitioned the
faculty to relieve him from further attend
ance upon preaching, upon the ground that
according to the proportion stated, not
above six persons in the college could pos
sibly be saved and as there were nine pro-
fessors. all of whom were doctors of divinity,
it would be presumptuous for him. poor
student, to hope for even the remotest
chance of salvation; hence in attending
church he was only making his damnaton
more cerain and terrible.

Emigration to Delaware.

The following, cut from Pennsylvania
paper, undoubtedly has reference to the
parties whom we noted some two weeks ago
as having arrived from Lykens Valley, Pa,

"Several parties living in this vicinity

our judgment no poorer move could be
made than this. Delaware is preeminently
the land Of mosquitoes and fever and ague

there, excepting always, crop of the big

TIE Moss lode, Of Mohave County,

TIE Moss lode, of Mohave County, is
probably one that has attracted IN the
past as much if not more attention than
any other. Prof. B. Silliman visited this
lode in 1864, and i'm an article which ap-
peared in the american Journal Of Science
and Art ( n May, 1866. wrote us follows:
The outcyopuings of the Moss lode form

Census.

ScuBuBs
We are in receipt of Public
Document No. SO, being the "Act
to provide for taking the tenth
and subsequent censuses.
Section 8, provides that: "The
Secretary of the Interior shall,
on or before the first day of March,
1880, designate the number,
whether one or more, of Super
visors of Census, to be appointed
within each State or Territory,
who shall be residents of the
State or Territory. The Super
visors shall be appointed by the
President of the United States,
by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate. The total
number of such Supervisors shall
not exceed one hundred and
fifty"
Section prescribes the duties
of the Supervisors.
Section 6 provides a compensa-
ton of $500 SIN full compensation
for all services rendered and eX-
penses incurred by him, except
an allowance for clerk hire may
be made, at the discretion of the
Superintendent of Census"
Section 10 allows "en lmera-
tors" 1.-TWO cents for each living
inhabitant, two cents for each
death reported, ten cents for each
farm and fifteen cents for each
establishment of productive i'll
dustry enumerated and returned,
may be given in full comp-nsa-
ton for all services; and no claim
for mileage or travelling expenses
shall be allowed"
Section II says; 1.-THE subdi-
vision assigned to any enumera-
tor shall not exceed four thousand
inhabitants, according to the CEN
sus of 1870"
Section II provides penalties
of $1,000 for Supervisors or emu
merators who neglect or refuse
to perform their duties, or will
fully make untrue returns.
Section 20 fixes the maximum
cost of the census Exclusive of
printing and engraving) at three
millions of dollars.
From the superficial examina-
ton we have been able to give
to this Act, and its provisions,
grave doubts arise as to whether
correct census of Arizona can
be taken at the prices allowed or
provided for by it. Doubtless for
dense populations fair wages can
be earned, but where the inhabi-
tants are so scattered, the ranches
or farms so large and remote, and
the establishments of productive
industry so few and distant, as is
the case in Arizona, the actual
living and travelling expenses of
an enumeration would far exceed
his pay. The provisions Of this
Act tend to postpone the date Of
Arizona's admission into the Sis
terhood of States, and there seems
to be no remedy.
