Gen. Randall L. Gibson, who has
represented Louisiana very credita-
bly, in the lower house of Congress
for several years past, was elected
United States senator from that
State Thursday last, TO succeed
Kellogg, whose term, unless it is
summarily abridged by democrat
ic senate, will not expire until
March 4, 1888. We think the posi-
ton should have been conferred On
Judge Spoford, who represents, in
his own person, the violated soyer-
eighty of the State, and it was IN
doubtedly the duty of the legisla
ture to resent, by re election, if in
no other way, his present uni st ex-
clusion from the seat to which he is
both legally and morally entitled.
The NewYork Herald says: Wheat
is now.declared to have nearly reach
ed the exporting point, and exten-
sive dealers say that there will soon
be large expectation. An operator
said yesterday: Speculation has
sent prices up until the whole fab
ric has toppled over. Europe will
probably require all the wheat we
can furnish before another harvest"
There is a strong feeling of indigna
ton at the operations of the Wall
street spectators who are CONTROL
ing the wheat market, thereby caus
ing the blockade in the grain and
the stagnation in the shipping and
export trades.

ST. THOMAS, July 6, 1880.
EDITOR RECORD: In the Book of
Numbers, LIST chapter, we are told this:
"And the Lord spake unto Moses, in the
wilderness of Sinai, in tine tabernacle of
the congregation, in the first day of the
second month in the seventh year, after
they were come out Of the land of Egypt,
saying, Take we the number of all the
congregation of the children of Israel,
after the families of the house of their
fathers, with the number of their names,
every male by their poll" The third
chapter and ADD verse gives us the result
of the order; thus: Sand Moses num-
bered as the Lord commanded him, all
the first born of the children of Israel. !"
This is the first census we have any
record of, and you perceive the enumer-
ator made good job of it. Strange we
do not seem to have improved in the least
over the ancient method Nevada is a
sparsely populated State, but we surely
ought to be able to enumerate the few
people we have. This becomes the more
important when we consider that future
legislative apportionment will unques-
tionably be made on the basis of the
population embraced in the present
census, ! am therefore constrained to call
your attention to the manner in which
| the work has been done in Lincoln county.
Mr.. Henderson, County Assessor, hap
pened to be in Saint Thomas when l re-
ceived letter from the Supervisor of the
Census for Nevada, Mr.. Ferguson of
Churchill county, requesting me to dis
trict the county for enumerationg pur-
poses. This did, with the assistance of
Mr.. Henderson, and forwarded it to Mr.
Ferguson. A short time afterwards l
received an appointment as enumerator
from him, together with the oath of
Office, which were duly signed and at
tested and forwarded to him, upon the
receipt of which he said he would furnish
at once the necessary blanks. The days
passed and no reply came, the month fled
and yet no word from him, and now, the
legal time having expired for doing the
work the southern half of the county is
left unvisited. All that portion south

OVER CAUTIOUS. Once on q time
there were tNb brothers. One was
called Prometheus, because he always
looked forward and boosted that he
was wise. The other was called
Epimetheus, because he looked back
ward and did not boast at all; but
said, humbly, quoting the Irishman, that
he preferred prophesy after the event.
There came to the two brothers a most
beautiful creature that ever was seen,
Pandora by name. But because she had
a strange package in her hand, this fan
ciful, suspicious, prudential, theoretical,
deductive, prophesying Prometheus would
have nothing to do with pretty Pandora
and her package. But Epimetheus took
her and married her, for better or for
worse, as every man should whenever he
has chance for good wife. Imagine
the delight it afforded Epimetheus when
he opened the package and found that it
was a box of Poujade's cigars, with an
order for several plugs of choice tobacco,
and some fine coffee. So Epimethus got
the two best things in the world, while

during the decade, we give the figures as
shown by the enumeration just made,

San Francisco and Washington are esti-

The annexed, taken from the Eureka
"Sentinel," confirms statement we once
heard made about the Skagit country:
''The Sentinel yesterday had a call from
Mr.. J. Warren, an old time miner of
Eureka District. Mr.. Warren left here
about ten months ago, going to Bodie and
thence to Skagit river. He spent four
months in the northern region, and pro-
nounces the alleged gold mines cruel
hoax, designedly gotten up and boosted
by the people of Seattle and other towns
on the Sound, to attract and fleece
miners. The steamboat companies are
also extensively engaged in engineering
the blk. The country, Mr.. Warren says,
has been extensively prospected for more
than three years, and to date not a single
claim has been found that will pay grub,
much less wages. He thinks the average
yield of the so-called mines will not ex.
coed GO cents per day to the man. A few
hundred dollars worth Of Idado and Mon
tana gold dust was taken in there by in
terested parties, and this has been made
to do duty in the way of keeping up the
excitement"
WE are informed that the two watch
men down at the Raymond & Ely mill,
one of them being the brother Of the Act
ing Superintendent, are engaged in clean
ing up the mill, and that the colored man
Clark has written order from the So
called Act. Supt. to act as smelter. If

Stephen Allen was so ill at Jackson
port, Miss, that he could hardly stir in
bed, when he was told that Henry Mel
vile was on his way there to kill him.
Melville was known to be desperate and
vindictive, and there was good reason to
fear that he would carry out his threat.
Allen told his young son to stand at the
door and endeavor to dissuade Melville
from his purpose. The boy begged the
assassin not to murder defenceless in
valid; but he forced his way in, drew a
knife, seized the sick man by the throat,
and raised his weapon to strike. Just
then Allen feebly protruded pistol from
under the bedclothes and shot his assail-
ant dead.

What a Toad win Eat.

:. 1t is generally supposed that toads
live on small insects, but one here in
town is believed to have swallowed a
small bird this week. Mr.. George II.
Martin had shot a goldfnch or yellow
bird, which is a trif1e smaller than q
canary, and was so intent on restrain
ing his dog, which he was educating
for the hunt. that he neglected his
game for single minute. But on look
ing for the bird, which he had seen fall
within three or four rods of him. Mr..
Martin could find nothing but a good
sized toad from whose mouth were pro-
truding some yellow feathers. Officer
7 oung. OF the police force, who has
wide experience as naturalist, and is
q man OF veracity, reinforces Mr.. Mar
tins theory by the statement that a
few years ago he caught a big frog in
Spalding's pond, which had inside of
him moth, six beetles and a cedar
bird. besides some other partly-digest-
ed insects.-Noracich Comm Bulletin.

Slave Trade in Turkey.

A Constantinople letter gives the fol-
lowing facts concerning the sale OF
slaves in that city: The white slave
trade is conducted almost exclusively
by tribe of Tcherkesses, known as
Tessirdchis. Families generally work
together. One brother, for example,
stops at home and minds the shop while
the other goes abroad and purchases
and forwards the raw material of the
commerce. Negotiations with purchas-
ers are conducted through the interme-
diary of Arab brokers, who call regu-
larly on their patrons to inquire if they
are wanting anything in black eunuchs
or white girls. The rendezvous of these
gentry is a coffee-house in the Bostand-
Chi quarter, the entry to which is
strictly forbidden to all save followers
of the Prophet. A white boy in good
health, from eight to fourteen years
old, costs forty to fifty hire (if this
means Italian lire the English equiva-
lent would be thirty to forty shillings);
if he has any requirements, such, for
instance, as a knowledge of cookery or
other house work, he will command
twice as much. A girl under ten years
olu bO AdO AOI FCAGJ IuC, WuilC q
maiden between twelve and sixteen,
especially if she can read and write and
strum little on the zithern, is worth
fTS00. A female slave of exceptional
beauty young and white-the styles
most in vogue are blondes with black
eyes-fetches from Ell, 000to Ell, 800.
For a very choice specimen, with a
smattering of French and able to play
a few airs on the piano, a rich amateur
has been known to pay as much
as fT2,700 But, as may be sup
posed, the demand for articles of this
description has greatly fallen off since
the halcyon time of perpetual loans and
profuse expenditure. Black slaves, who
are brought principally from Africa, are
either sold directly by the importers to
the proprietors of harems or to dealers,
two of whom have extensive private
marts in STEAMBOAT. These two gener-
ally keep on hand 100 to 12O slaves
each. There are also depots in Scutari,
and in several villages on the Bospho-
rus. A strong black slave sells for about
fT2O and black maiden fT15 to fT18.

Uses. A deeply plowed and badly
washed roadside, with unsodded banks,
mars the beauty of the adjacent
grounds.
The thought uppermost in many a
farmers mind, after he gets out of debt

all poisoning in wooden contrivances,
are held out for our admiration, while
the fourth side, being designed for the
pigs and poultry to look at, is left
somewhat modest and decent. Pre-
tentions to show usually prove de-
formity. Build the house rather slow
and rambling" well hooded by steep
roof, projecting caves and wholesome
chimneys. We want to see evidences
of home shelter and home fire. Why
should the roof and chimneys be so
constructed as to appear subordinate to
the rest of the housep If the walls be of
stone they will grow handsomer with
age. Build SO that the house will show
care for home convenience and home
comfort. We do not care how many
gables there are if they express farm
and family needs. Let the house live a
retired life among trees and broad
fields. Make the house neat, conve-
nient, elegant if you choose, but never
gaudy or pretentious with wooden
trinkets. Its beauty should be endur-
ing, like the beauty of the hills and
prairies. If the farm be properly orna-
mented by tree and vine, green slopes,
autumn-tinted groves and sheltering
frs. it were best that the house, the
work of man, be modest, as it's owner
should be. in the midst of these rich
