isaac Stee1e's GreenbacIs.
Elmira Advertiser.

Isaac Steele, farmer, living near Petrolia
made 100000 in the oil production of his
farm. He is an old man and lives with his
wife and daughter. He keeps not less than
$4,000 in greenbacks in his house and he
has no faith in banks or any investment
for money. Three years ago he had $780,
600 in bank notes locked up in boxes and
trunks about his house. The money be-
came damp, widowed and moldy. When
he discovered the condition os his money be
took the notes from their hiding places and
spread them in the sun about MS orchard to
dry. The spectacle of fortune lying
loose on The ground among the
apple trees vas witnessed by hundreds,
who were attracted to the farm by the
singular proceeding. Tine money was thus
exposed for two days guarded by old Steele,
bis wife, daughter, and hired man. When
considered in good condition again it waa
returned to the trunks and boxes. Three
nights after the greenbacks were housed,
Steele woke up to find three masked men in
his bedroom. They bound the old man and
his family, and discovered and secured
81 600 of the hidden treasure, when thew
were frightened away by the return os the
hired man from Petrolia. Even this expe-
rience did not brighten the old man to make
a different disposition of his money. On the
night of the 2Sth of last April his house
was broken into by three men wear-
ing masks. The old man and his wife
fought tnem nntii they were rendered nncon
scious. In the struggle the masks were torn
from tie faces OF two of the men. They
were recognized as james and William Nc
Donald. The thua msn vas not known.
The men began to seasch The house, but be-
fore they had secured any booty Steeie's
hired nou had a.armed the neighbors, and
taa roDbers fed. In an old box under
Stee!e's bed there were $4,000 III green
backs The robbers were followed. but es-
capped to the woods. Three days nfterward
the two were captured. They have just been
sentenced 10 FIVE years each in the peniten
tiary. Old Steele still refCses to select any
safer place of deposit his wealth than his
own house.

The st. Paul GLOBE makes the charge point blank
that Superintendent johnson, of Minneapolis falsi-
ned ms census RETURNS listed non-residents, and
thereby increased the apparent population of his
CITY BY several thousand. The GLoBE offers to sub-
sttntlate its charges, and challenges johnson 10
bring suit for libel. The charge has been reiter-
Grated so often and distinctly, thai unless Mr john
son does something about ii, people will begin To
think him little "keeress. Fargo Argus.
Not st all. Mr. Johnson regards The G1oRE
In about the same light that ',Bill'' King re-
CARDS Donnelly. Bill you know, said it was
beneath MS dignity to deny any charge made
against him by 1. D.-lRinaeopolis Journal.
This assumption of dignity on the part of
a peTjured scoundrel is too thin to wash. IF
MIR. johnson had not reported false
enumeration he would be very glad to prove
his honesty in court. If the Minneapolis
count is correct the people of that CITY
should insist on MIR. johnson showing his
hand before tribunal where witnesses can
be forced to testify. Refusing to accept the
profered opportunity to vindicate himself.
and donating bis census salary to the church
as conscience fund will not remove the
brand of perjury from Chas. w. johnson.

Love and Policies.

Not far from Lackawaxen, Pike
County, Pa, is the home of TWO
young ladies, sisters, aged respect
lively eighteen and twenty years.
They were each receiving the ad-
dresses of lovers, who were BROTH
ers, and both couple were engaged
to be married. Ii was their inten-
ton to celebrate a double wedding
about the holidays, but now matters
have changed. A few days ago the
tour were sitting together in the
parlor at the girls home when the
elder lady expressed desire to at
tend a political meeting then being
held in a nearby village. She asked
her lover to accompany her, but he
refused point blank, giving as his
reason that he was not Democrat.
The young lady insisted, but still he
refused. Finally she turned to his
brother, who, il seems, was DEM
ocrat, and asked him to accompany
her. To the surprise of all he at
once consented and they went to the
meeting. The two who remained at
home were quite indignant, the one
at the conduct of her lover, the other
at the way his sweetheart had acted.
The more they discussed it the an
grier they became. They discov-
cred that they-the ones at home
were both Republicans, while the
two who had gone were Of Demo-
cratic proclivities. They talked on,
discovering little by little similari-
ties of tastes and habits, and finally
resolved each TO break with the old
love and form a new alliance. No
sooner resolved than the compact
was ratified by a kiss, when by
chsnce the others entered. The gen.
tleman told his brother at once
what they had decided to do. To
his great surprise no sorrow was
shown, no anger manifested, and his
wonder was increased when he was
informed that the other couple,
while on their walk home, had re-
solved to do just the same thing.
The hugging, therefore, now goes
on as usual, and weddings will take
place about New Yesrs.-Cor. Ny.

Some Curious Facts.

Alabama is as large as England,
yet has only l,OOO,O people TO Eng
lands 2l,0O0.000. California, with
less than 1 100000 of people, is very
little smaller than France with 3d.
100000. Nevada is little smaller,
and Oregon is larger, than New
York and Pennsylvania combined !;
so either of these new states could
easily hold the two Older states
combined population of S,OOO,OOO.
We do not think Massachusetts
over-crowded with 100000, nor
Ohio with less than 3,0O0,OOO, nor
New York with 4,500,0OO; and yet
if Texas were settled as thickly as
New York, its 100000 would grow
to 2l,OO0.OO0; il like Massachusetts,
il would hold 52,OO0,00O. or more
than the present population of the
Union. There are only fifteen states
out of the thirty-eight which have
each more than 100000 of people,
while there are fourteen states
which have larger area than Eng
land, with her 2l,000,0O0. Settled
like England, these states would
have more than 3O0,000,O00. The
states toward which immigration is
mainly settling are Minnesota, Ne
braska, Kansas, Texas and Colorado.
These about equal Missouri in pop
ulation, while their area is ten times
hers. So, to be equally populated
like Missouri, sparsely populated as
the state is, these five should have
26,000,O00; and, to be settled like
Massachusetts,, being ninety times as
large, they must have l35, ,O00, 600, or
three times our present population.
If the whole territory of the union
were settled like New York, il
would contain 27O,OOO,OOO; if like
Massachusetts, $50, 600. .OOO; and if il
reached England's ratio of inhabi-
tants to the square mile, its popula-
ton would almost equal the present
population of the globe.
