almost as far away from home as at
frst, and on strange road, too. But
Arthur kept very cheerful, encourage
ing The horses to struggle against
the wind, and telling Dora they
would get home for supper and the
Christmas-lree, after all. But night
came on, and still they were far out
in the country.
Il wish the moon rose earlier said
Arthur, we shall be in the dark the
rest of the way
Just then, in lull of the wind,
driving along in the darkness, they
heard sound which, though they
had never heard it before, they knew
at once to be-wolves! The winter
had set in early with heavy SHOWS,
and they had heard that these ami
mails were venturing very near the
settlements. Yes,th was no doubt.
The long, sharp yells aud bowls
showed that there were many of them.
The noble horses recognized the
sound, too, and, tired as they were,
how they plunged and galloped on
For an hour and half they heard
these dreadful cries at intervals, and
they seemed to come so much nearer
that Dora dared not look behind lest
she should see their gaunt forms and
great, hungry, open jaws.
Then suddenly they came out IN
to a closely settled neighborhood,
and saw ferry-house, store and
several other houses. The wolves did
not dare to follow them any farther.
They again inquired the way and the
distance. 1t was still seven miles to
Lambert. On they drove, slower
now, to rest the tired horses, and af.
ter another hour came out upon the
familiar road, close upon the river
bank. The full moon had Just risen
high enough to light the scene.
There was the church steeple, the
roof of their fathers house, the gilt
teriDg ice,the grand old bluff beyond
all shining in the beautiful moonlight.
A few minutes more and the anxious
watchers would be relieved-the
poor, tired, frightened travellers safe
at home!
There were-thaDkful hearts in Mr..
Deans home that night, when the
story of their long, cold ride was told.
And cannot begin to tell you about
the happy Christmas for which God
had spared them. But Blanche and
Gertie, though they are fast growing
to womanhood now, will never for.
get that Christmas Eve,or the bright,
glad day which followed it.

Agriculture In The Next Census

The agIicultural schedule annexed
to the act of 1850 hich is also made
part of the act of March 3, 1879
providing for the Tenth Census,
requires a report of the chief pro,
ductions of agriculture during The
year ended Jnne L."
Now there is no distinct agricu,-
tural year which ends on the frs; of
June, and there is reason to believe
that the statistics OF agriculture
from 1850 to 1870, in regard to
many OF the principal products, EN-
braced portions Of two different crops
inasmuch as the enumeration was
protracted through three, four and
even five months.
BY the act approved March 3 1879
it is provided that the Tenth Census
shall be taken and complsted dur
ing the month of June, 1880 This
provision greatly reduces the liabiI
lty to error which has been noted.
As the enumeration CONNER oes
on the first of June, and closes on or
before the thirtieth, all the crops
which are gathered once year will
fall pretty clearly on one side or the
other on the dividing line.
Thus the cotton crop reported in
the census will be that of 1879; gath
cred in the Fall of that year; while
the VOL clip, or "wool CROP" will
be that of the Spring of 1S80-ex.
cept In portions of California and
Texas, whore both a Fall and
Sping clip are secured.
For certain of the productions of
agriculture. however, there is no
harvest in the usual sense of that
term; but the product is gathered
week by week or DAY by day as it
matures-meat, butter, cheese and
meat, fall IN this class.
In view of the requirements of
the law,and of the great Importance
of accurate statistical information
relative to agriculture, it is deemed
to be highly desirable that farmers
should prepare themselves in ad-
vance to give the information with
promptness and accuracy. 1t is
recommended therefore,
that agricultural journals and the
officers of agricultural societies and |
clubs give publicity to this an,
nouucement and that all persons
engaged in agriculture take note
from time to time of the quantities
OF their several crops gathered, and |
the number of acres ofland planted,
in order that their statements, when
made to the enumerat ors, may be
of the highest possible value.

census during the year ending June

NEW Y0RK'S QUEEN OF BEAUTY
Young Lady fNew York's Highest Circles
sitting as Yelled Model for the Artistic
Medical Club.
New York Sunday Tribune.

New York Sunday Tribune.
At the meeting of the photogra-
phic section Of the American Insti.
tute, on Tuesday, Mr.. Oscar G..
Mason, official photographer to
Bellevue Hospital medical college,
exhibited magic lantern pictures of
a very mysterious young lady. In
explanation, he said that there ex-
lists in this city very private and
select coterie, or organization, which
may be called the Artistic Medical
Club. 1t consists OF thirteen or
fourteen members, each one of
whom is a physician. A speciality
with them is the study ofthe human
form 10 its most perfect develop.
ment, and to get the best attainable
living modal has been the leading
ambition with them. One of their
members bethought himself of
young lady having an admirably
proportioned figure, and mentioned
the fact to his colleagues but how
to get her to ''sit" for an artist in
various positions required, seemed
for time an insurmountable diff.
Guilty. She belongs to the very best
society, and her feelings as we'll as
those of her family, would mater.
tally revoult at any proposition to
that effect. The medical gentlemen
thought that by little fneSse he
could get over the difficulty. He
was the family physician, and as
such had exceptional privileges sc-
corded him. He made certain meas
urements. comprising the young
lady's height, size of waist, etc., and
found them all to approach remark
ably close 20 the ideal standard OF
correctness. The greatest devia
ton from that standard did not ex.
coed he sixteenth part of an inch.
The young lady never wore corsets,
tight ehoee. or any Of The other
crampIng articles that go to consti
tute lady's makeup aud was 10
consequences the embodiment of
health as vel as u model Of grace
and symmetry.
The physician who undertook to
get picures of this charming person
took an opportunity TO breach the
subject to her parents, explained TO
them that it was in the interests of
art, and that the whole would be
done with the utmost delicacy pos
sible. They mentioned the matter
to their daughter, who refused at
first to listen to the proposition.
But after several months of negotia-
tons between her parents and the
doctor, she yielded consent on Ger.
tain conditions, some of which we're
the following: The artist who 'took'
her should never see her face so as
to be able afterward to remember
her that he should only be accom-
panied by one physician aud mem.
Der of the club, and that she should
be accompanied by two lady friends,
Ga the stipulated conditions, she
allowed herself to be photographed
in various attitudes, her face alone
being concealed by a heavy veil or
drapery, and the artist to this day
does not know who she is.
