A six year old son of Mr.. W. Il.
Brad water of Jesup, Ga. picked up
an old pistol that had been used as a
plaything for year or two, and
carried it to his father, with the re-
quest that he fix it. Mr.. Bradwa-
ter discovered the main spring out
of place, pushed it back, and the
postol being already cooked, play
fully pointed it at his son. To his
horror, the weapon was discharged,
and the ball penetrated the right
breast of the little boy two inches
between the collar bone. Medical
attendance was Immediately had
and was found that the ball had
struck a rib and glanced around the
arm or shoulder of the boy. The
little sufferer at last accounts was
doing well, and there are strong
hopes of bis recovery.

The Census shows that there are
20, $40 Chinese in a total population
of 100000. Many persons have
supposed, from the notice which has
been made about the Chinese in
San Francisco, Cal, that they con-
stisuted nearly one half of its pOpu>
lation. They are, too, leaving there
and scattering about over the United
States, We have no idea that the
immigration from that country will
ever be excessive, but we favor
checking it by all proper means.

Pay OF ENuMERAToRS.-A WASH
ington dispatch says: "Notwith
standing the officials here are doing
all they can to secure the prompt
payment of the salaries due the cen,
sus enumer ators for the work per-
formed several weeks ago, it is now
apparent that many will have to GO
without their money for some time
to come. Urgent appeals are re-
ceived here daily from eDumerators
all over the country for money due
them, and many distressing cases are
reported. The work of settling and
paying off the emu merAtors is now
progressing at about the rate of two
hundred and fifty daily, but within
short time the disbursing officer of
the Interior Department expects to
b. able to increase the number to
FIVE hundred. The first enumera-
tors to receive their pay were those
in Washington, Philadelphia and
New York, the others being taken
up in turn as they were forwarded by
the Census Bureau. 1t is estimated
that three months will elapse before
the last one of the thirty thousand
enumeators will receive his pay"

A SERIOUS AccIDENT.-Monday afternoo,
Mr.. c. T. Fountaine, A. A. Butts and j. N
Bishop timers, were preci pitated from a scat
folding, and the first named was seriously in
jured. He struck the ground with his head
and shoulders, breaking couple OF bones, and
the doctor says 1t will take two or three
months Of care and attention to bring him sll
right again. Mr.. Butts was scratched and
bruised somewhat. but beyond q little soreness
and Stiffness, perhaps he will experience no
Inconvenience or injury. Mr.. Bishop escaped
unhurt. When the timbers of the scaffolding
began to give way, he caught the branch of
tree overhanging him, and held on to it until
assistance from below enabled him to get to
the ground safely. The accident occurred on
Judge Emerson's premises, while they were at
work on the Chinese pagoda now in course of
erection. 1t is remarkable that, with the expe-
Renee of centuries. scaffolding should contn-
ue to endanger the lives and limbs of the
workmen who are called to risk themselves
upon it. 1t can and ought in every instance
be made perfectly safe.
