NEW YORK appears to he the only
State where the pressure Of population
toward the cities, which was in 1875 the
most significant feature of its State cen
sus, continues. The advance in the pop
ulation of New York city from 942, 292
in 1870 to 1,3O0,0 600 in 1880 is out Of all
proportion larger than the growth of
any Western city, and it has almost all
taken place since 1876, when the popu-
lation was but 1,0ii 1856. The increas
now reported is scarcely credible. 1t is
matched, however, by the growth of
Brooklyn, from 395, 099 in 1870 to 554, 500
in 1880, with 4s2, 493 as an intermediate
figure in 1876. BY comparison, Cincin-
nati-1s70, 216,239; : 1880, 252, ,000-
makes an advance altogether smaller !;
and Chicago, with an increase from
29s, ,977 in 1870 TO 502, 900 now, is the
only Western city which equals the
gowth of tho cities about New York
karbor. ST. Louis, which had private
census of its own in 1876, returning q
population of 49s, 192, is put in a ridicu-
lous position by the present Federal
census, giving il $4,000, as against
S10,s64 in 1870. Philadelphia, whose
census in 1876 gave 81, AS, fares better,
as it is now found TO have a population
of $4,000. In 1870 its population was
674,022. Pittsburgh shows an increase
on an even-larger scale, jumping from
s6.076 in 1870 10 1853. 1888 for 1850.

4 Mushroom Metropolis.

A strong force Of Uncompahgre Utes
camped last summer on the site of Gun
nison, their tepees now being replaced
by 300 houses, with population of ], 900
or mo e. A number Of these structures
are occupied with stocks of goods worth
$40, 900 to S75, 900 each, from which sales
are made to the extent Of $40, 900 to S30.-
0oc per month each. Tue Bank of Gun
nison is a striking example of the rapid
creation Of solid commercial institutions
In a wilderness, its directory represent
ing $40, 1000, 600 of capital, and compris-
ing such men as Gov. Tabor, Colorado's
bonanza king. A $4,000 court house,
$40, 900 hotel, and $1,000 public school
house, beside several churches and ex-
cellent business blocks in course Of erec-
tion, are few Of the surprises in this
three-monihs-old town. But the stranc-
est of all are real-estate values. The lot
occupied by the Bank of Gunnison.
which cost $40 last fall, is now worth
81 800. Across the street from the bank
is log cabin that cost about s1O0. and
its occupants pay their $40 monthly
rental cheerfully. Jack Haverly, our
eccentric theatrical manager, bought
something like thousand lots and a
neighboring ranch in May for $50, 600.
and could probably double his money
by their sale now. Late last fail the

Progressive journalism.

A st. Louis correspondent says The
other day met here Col. George Knapp,
proprietor Of the daily Republican.
He Is medium-sized, gray haired, rud-
dy-faccd gentleman, not apparently over
60 years old-quiet, interesting, pleasing

genial editor-in-chief, Mr.. Hyde, both
of them enjoying mutual interview
and lean against the iron railing along
side the magnificent architectural pile,
the " Republican building" Our con-
versation turned on the past and pres
ent of journalism, and their contrast.
Col. Knapp indulged in this interesting
bit of retrospect:
" "Fifty-three years ago l began with
the Republican. 1t was q weekly then.
We had nothing but n wooden hand

200. delivered the papers myself. 1t
took two stout men several hours each
week to work off on that press our

entire edition was only 600 or 700. Our
Office was in little old frame building
then"
"And what is the statistical difference
now, Colonel?" was asked.
"Oh, it can hardly be stated in words.

A STRANGE story of the hardshipr OF
Russian captivity is related by a Ger
man engineer named Neumcycr. He
was busily engaged in experimenting
the construction Of a new railway in the
South of Russia, when he saw himself
suddenly surrounded hy body Of police
and made prisoner. On being shown a
photograph portrait, he innocently e1-
claimed: "Where have you got this
picture from2 / have never had my
likeness taken" This extraordinary re-
semblance Of his 10 Louis Hartmann, OF
rather Wolkoff (the ALLEGED author Of the
Moscow attempt on the Empcror's life),
and scar on his right hand, brought
poor Neumeyer into a serious predica-
ment. He was put in chains, taken TO
Moscow, submitted to q wcarisome in
vestigation, then dragged across the
country on foot to Warsaw, with no
nourishment other than bread, cabbage
and spoiled fish on journey Of forty
four days. After spending about six
weeks more in prison on bread and
water, surrounded by low set of crimi-
pals awaiting their transportation to ST.
IBERIA, he succeeded in forwarding n let
ter to the Governor General of Polade,
whose brother had formerly employed
Neumcvcr on his estates in Esthonia.
Thanks to Count Kotzobue's interces-
sion, Count Loris Melikof allowed the
poor victim to return to Germany in a
penniless condition, covered with ver-
min, and wearing the same clothes in
which he had been seized, and which
had never been washed.

The MOtu Dialect.

There are many curiosities met with
during lifelong study of language.
Herodotus understood the fact when he
said of the Pcrsisns, "They had one
peculiarly which, thongh they were not
aware of it themselves, is notorious to
us all those words which are expressive
of personal or of any other distinction
terminate in the Doric san, which is the
same as the Ionic sigma; and attentive
observation will farther discover that all
the names of Persians end, without er-
ception, alike" Having fulfilled q
twelve-months' engagement on tho sub
lect OF language, | will only speak in
brief OF one of the characteristics of the
Motu dialect of New Guinea, which is
the duplicating of words. The word

cane armlet; diHluradiHura, very
small dOd0, high tide huhq, bananas; :;
kerukeru, tomorrow kdtikati, double

varO, scar. have arranged list of
of about 100 of these repeated words,
and have compared them in order TO as
certain the general meaning or cause Of
repeating the tones. 1t seems that the
idea must be to increase the strength of
the word by speaking it n second time,
as child would do in its demands for
attention. There is one practice among
the natives of New Guinea, as also
among our own aborigines, which seems
to sustain this hypothesis. refer to tho
plan of explaining distance. The one
giving directions will make wave
motion with his hand in the desired di-
rection, then repeat the action from its
terminus. We find this repetition Of
tones moro among aborigines and chill
dren than among adult civilization.

HIND.
BY A FoRRIoEER.

When arrived first in the country
England, my foreign requirement Of the
language did not keep me from diff
culties with some words and their several
meanings and applications. The old
story of person situated as ] was, and
the word "6O1," made me escape from
mistakes in that word. But another
word was AS difficult for me. 1t was the
word "mind." All the association /
had before Of that word were Of the
intellect-the soul naturally, therefore,
L was surprised and confused 10y the use
OF this word in circumstances utterly
incompatible with my previous ideas
Large as the power Of the mind must

menced the use of my knowledge of the
English language. That | spoke it well
was shown by the COMMISSIONING adj

We passed along the pier in the dark TO
the Dover boat, he constantly called
out "Mind dc rope y This, at first,
puzzled me, but have found he meant
" aroid do rope" | have since found
the English never "tdkc care" They
always "mind !" "Mind what you

you. :" Mind how you get down r. says
a polite omnibus conductor. Mind
and don't miss the train T. These in-
stances might be increased al infHitum,
but are enough to show ones mind the
different uses Of the word.
But Notwithstanding all this telling
people to "mind," there is a counter
phrase, quite as often used. 1t is "ncrcy

is told to "ntver Dtind!" If you lose
anything, you are told TO "ncver mindF
In fact, found in England you are con-
stantly cautioned against evils and ac-

doubtless, has good effect on character,
producing carefulness to guard from i'll,
and stoical, or philosophical bearing
Of it, when the care taken has proved
unavailing.

will, trust, be useful TO other foreigners,
who may come TO England, as I did, with
some knowledge of the language 1
recommend them to study the use OF
the word "mind before they come
over, so that they may "mind" and
make no mistakes. But il they do not
