- ebraska's population, 80 the census
shows, will run up to fully 500, 900, an in
crease of 800 per cent. over the census of
1870. On the superintendent of enc Con-
gresham to every $4,000 people, this
will give Nebraska three members, gain
of two Kansas is likely to gain two also,
and Texas four. OF the Eastern States,
Pennsylvania is the only one that has any
chance of increasing its reputation in Con-
gress. Ohio and Indiana will both lose
Congressman, and Illinois is not certain

"A widow and widower were engaged
to be married in Bristol, r. /. She had
ageed to provide the wedding entertain
ment, and she did so with extreme liber-
atty. Five hundred guests, including the
Common Council as an unofficial body,
assembled at the appointed time, but the
bridegroom did not come. The assembly
dram k immoderately, and then, for amuse-
ment, flung ice-cream and pie at the min
lister. An expedition to discover the wild
over resulted in the SCATTERING of all the
windows in his house, and finally the po-
lice made score of arrests.
On the morning of the day of the
nomination of General Hancock, the New
York Times Rep.) published special
dispatch from Cincinnati, wherein occur
red the following: "The politicians want
trickster, man of their own kind, to be
President, and the last man they are like
ly TO nominate is Winfield Scott Han
cock" That is, General Hancock, in the
opinion fthe Times, then, was not man
who could be managed by politicians"
nor was he "trickster" Now, accord
ing to the Times, he is "pretentious
blockhead," an ass," an "epauletted no
body" etc. Quite difference!
The hanging of the three boy MUIR
derers at Canton, Ohio, had some novel
incidental points. The oldest was under
le. The crowd on the previous night was
enormous, and was divided between a
political meeting and circus, both of
which were within hearing of the prison
ers. One of the trio made desperate ef-
fort to escape in the confusion; another
fell in fit while imploring his compsn-
ions to make confession exculpating
him and the third coolly discussed with
a Roman Catholic and Protestant Epis-
copal clergyman the merits of the religions
which they represented, finally telling
them that he had no faith in either. A
daughter of the judge who had passed the
death sentence gave each murderer
goodbye kiss.
