II every person dwelling IN the
house or with the family; the trade. pro-
fession or occupation of every adult
male over Is years of age, and whether
the adults are married, widowed or sim
gle-and if married, whether married
within the year; also the school attend
ance of the children within the year;
what members of the family (if any
over 20 years of age who are unable to
read and write; whether persons in the
family are employed or unemployed,a and
what portion of the year; what relation
each person in the household bears to
the head of the house; the place of birth
of the parents of each person enumera-
ted; and the mental and physical health
of each person, whether active or disa-
bled, married, crippled, bedridden, deaf,
dumb. blind, insane or idiotic."
In the absence of the head of family
any person of the age Of 20 years or up
ward, residing with such family, is re-
quired to give answers to the enumera-
tor touching the matters above referred
to, and to answer such other questions
as maybe asked relative to industrial
products, whether agricultural or me-
chanical, TO the best of his or her knOwl-
edge.
Heads of business houses, and their
statesmen, clerks, and employees are re-
quired to answer all questions touching
the business of the house during the pre-
ceding year.
1t is the design to make the statistics
of agriculture as full as possible. Farm
ers should, therefore, prepare memOran-
da of farm products for 1879, embracing
everything produced on the farm. No
item should be neglected because it is
supposed to be LITTLE. If but ten bushels
of apples, hundred pounds of grapes or
| fifty pounds of honey have been produ-
ced, all such items should be embraced
in the returns with the same care and
accuracy as though thousands of BUSH
els or pounds had been produced. And
the same is true as to the number and
value of animals slaughtered.
Answers to questions by the enumer-
atOrs are confidential communications.
Each enumerator "is authorized to make
the inquiries and get the answers re-
Quired by the law; each of them will
have duly executed commission, and is
under oath to do his duty faithfully land
is subject to penalties of fine and i'm
prisonment if he does not. The an
swers he gets from heads of families OF
business men, or from those who act fol-
them, are confidential Communications,
and are not to be divulged to any one
except his official superiors, and these
are under the same oath and subject to
the same penalties if they make unau-
thoriZed Communications concerning the
answers they get in the line of their du.
w"
] Too many persons are apt to think
the information sought to be obtained
by the census takers has some relation
to taxation, and hence neglect or refuse
to make full disclosures. This is mis-.
taken notion. Statistics relative to tax.
alton are not gathered by the enumera-
tors. Every question asked by the emu
merator should be answered fully and
honestly.

THE Boston Herald, after calm sur
vey of the political situation, comes to
the conclusion of all unprejudiced OBJ
servers, that the only chance the anti
Grant Republicans have of entering the
Presidential canvas without being hand
icapped with the third term, is to "unite
on John Sherman, the one genuine re-
preventative of opposition to Grantism
and man in every way qualified for
the Presidency.

WAR between Russia and China has
begun since April to put on an air of
reality. 1t was at first predicted in Eng
land and Germany that Russia would
act ON the defensive, and content her
self with simply maintaining armed
possession of Kuldia, repelling any at
tempt by the Chinese to retake it. Cen
eral Skobeleff, who is named as the
probable commander-in-chief on the
frontier, is not likely to he selected to
carry out defensive policy. The ships
of war which were built for Russia last
year in Philadelphia are ordered to the
Chinese shores.
