A LITTLE GrRL's TEKRrBIE DrArH.-A cur,ou

LITTLE GIRLS TERRIBLE DKATH-A curious
aud shocking accident occurred In Readington,
N. j., on Friday last, resulting In the death OF
the daughter OF Peter Hyler, q well-known
farmer. The little one, years old, accompa-
MED her mother out to feed the chickens, and
remained near the wagon-house to play after
the mother had returned. When half an hour
had elapsed the mother grew anxious about the
child, and went to look Tor her. To her horror
she found the dead body OF her child suspended
by the neck fr0m the door OF q corn-cr1b, which
Is built ia the wagon house The door Is COM
posed of boards which slide up and down In q
ESionsl1 been showed up, where they had caught
fast thus leaving an opening OF about four feet
fromfhe ground. It Is supposed 10 playing the
little girl put her head through Inis opening
the lower part OF the door. The jar must have
caused the upper boards to tail, and catching
the childs head they imprisoned her and choxed
her to death.

MAY-DAY.

The world is centuries old to day
Yet holds us in its arms of May
Az old as night, and day, and ar:
As Lew as latest lsper's prayer
No vrinkled brow. no hair of grey,
Fashioned to die and pass away.
A thousand years ago this day.
The Robin sang his roundelay:
The woods were sweet with tangled bloom.
The hills shed blossoms Of perfume.
The valley sifted sunshine through
Her violet lashes, wet with dew.
All nature drank the wine of May;
Man only came to pass away!
And centuries hence the SUB shall bring
Back to the earth this emerald ring:
Shall set il where soft SIX les shut down,
And arches bend with starry CROWN
Where symphonies of music break
Ger hill. and vale, and ripping lake,
Where golden seas of summer sir
Veil Beauty's presence everywhere
And nought shall dim that full -orbed day.
But Gods decree-''To pass away"
Yet man shall, mid these glories, find
Sweet reccmpense for heart and mind
Shall see how mercy wells the way
In which he walks from day to day;
Thro' nature. trace those upland heights
Beyond earth's circlins days and nights,
Where Gods perennial forests plume
The everlasting bills Of june
Where Heavens immortal fountains play,
And nothing blooms to pass away,

The Census of Minneapolis and St. Pau,

The Census of Minneapolis and St, Paul,
To the Editor of the Globe:
have observed Your challenge to Charles
johnson, to sue you for libel, to. give you ap-.or
portunity to prove his census bogus. But
have not observed any intimation that Charles
intends tosue you. He prefers to absorb the
insult and confesses judgment it seems. Now if
you cannot get johnson to give you the oppor-
tunity, you still have it, and you owe it to st.
Paul, whose advocate your paper has always
been, to make your charges at headquarters at
Washington, and not allow this swindling
count to go unimpeached.
There is little use in trying to beat Mime
apoiis. Ii we we're 5000 ahead. the people there
would get up bogus directory census in less
than one year, and lie US out of our victory.
As matter of fact. it is well known in st.
Paul that the Hon. William 8. King came
down here and acknowledged that the actual
count gave Minneapolis Al 900 population. The
Al, 00f has been obtained by Charley Johnsoas
peculiar methods since.
Again, what If st. Paul is one or two thou
ssnd behind, which do not admit, it does not
argne, that in the long run, the commercial
center will not outrun the manufacturing cen
ire, as it has always done. We were far more
ahead and yet they caught up. We can do the
same, and will do it If we work as they worked
when they were the under dog.
The 1acb Is that Dotn cities are ana ouen6 TO
be the pride of the Ssate-having outstripped
everything in the United States.
Let Us beat Washburn for Congress so that
he cannot be allowed to block up the Missis-
sippi river with saw dust, by choking in COM
mittee all such bills, and the river will make
st. Paul the great commercial center. The
whole State has been betrayed by Washburn
in his treatment of this saw dust bill. And
this alone will beat him if man of aggressive
cna11 brain and vim ia nIttpd aoainet him
who Will try to convince and not buy the peo-
pie.
But what urged ia charge johnson with
false counting at Washington and let his bogus
census at lesst have contradiction and S
black eye. Yours, ST.. PAUL.

THE CENSUS FRAUD.

The census bureau at Washington should
take notice that Mr.. Chas. w. johnson, the
man in charge of the census enumeration in
the Second Minnesota District, has violated
his oath and perpetrated frand upon the
country in his count of the inhabitants of
Minneapolis. He has added names of nom
residents without stint. This has been car
ried to such an extent that it should have
the attention of Gen. Walker. 1t is not
moderate fraud or the accidental placing of a
few names enormously on the list, but delib-
crate and intentional scoundrelisn. Probably
ten thou5a bogus names have been put On
the list by this dishonest man and his as
sistants. He has committed crime which
renders The census farce AID should not be
allowed 10 pass unpunisaed. II Gen. Walker
will send impartial men TO investigate this
fraud the proof will be patent and positive.
1t is the intention of the census law to give
an accurate count of the people in the coun-
try. It is important that the count should
be as accurate as possible, and, above all
that it should be honest. If q
Aagrantly dishonest count like this
of Charley Johnson's is allowed to pass, it
throws cloud upon the entire census bu-
reau. Gen. Walker. may not be able to pre-
vent his subordinates from perjuring them
selves but he can see that they are punished
for SO doing, and that their rascality is not
allowed to stand as the official record. Gen.
Walker owes it to himself and the country
to have this swindle which Charley johnson
is endeavoring to perpetrste exposed and
punished. The returns as made by johnson
should be held in suspense on the ground of
fraud, and en- investigation and recount or
cered.
The GLOBE would not detract single one
from the legitimate population of Minneapo-
lis, but such scoundrelism as is now attempt
ed BY Charley johnson, deserves punishment
in the interest of common honesty and de-
cency. Let MIR. johnson show his $4,000
inhabitants, and their actual (not bogus)
residences. His rascality is so bold and un-
biushing, that it deserves attention at the
hands of the authorities at Washington.

The New York Tribune and other radical
papers are calling upon Gen. Hancock to re-
sign his position in the army, and one of
them declares that if Gen. Hancock endor-
ses the diatribs against President Hayes in
the Cincinnati platform he will be guilty of
gross disrespect to his superior officer, the
commander-in-chiefo of the army of the Uni
ted States, and will thus be rendered liable
TO dismissal from the army ''for conduct IN
becoming an officer and gentleman"
Really, this is truly alarming, but if our re-
collection serves US rightly Gen. Grant en-
dorsed diatribe against his superior officer,
President Johnson, when he accepted the Re-
publican nomination in 1868. The records
do not show that he resigned, or that he was
dismissed from the army for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and a gentleman.
