The troubles that the news
papers predicted for the census
enumerators when they began
to inquire the ages of onr fe-
male population prove not to
be journalistic inventions but
stern realities. The census
enumerators in New York tell
the papers that not more than
one woman in fifty gives her
real age when questioned, and
asserts that when they 1.-THE
enumerators,) seeing that they
are being deceived, attempt to
arrive at the truth by cross-ex-
animation, they are treated as
impairment and shown out of
doors. A number of cases
have already occurred where
the police have been called on
to interfere to protect these
officials from feminine wrath.
A specimen case was that which
occurred in Cincinnati the 9TH
er day. Henry Reynolds, an
enumeration, was there heated
by one Brickley and kicked
down stairs because he insisted
upon knowing the age of the
latter's wife. 1t was known
that a woman's age was very
tender point about her, but it
was not thought that her hus-
band was quite so particular.

On the first day of March
last there were 6o7 blast furna-
ces in the United States, having
a capacity TO produce $780,
900 tons ofironin a year. Some
Of the younger readers Of the
BANNER may amuse themselves
by figuring how many railroad
cars all those tons would load;
ten tons being an average.
Then get the cars together and
see what a train there would be
provided it was all in motion.
The average length of a car is
about thirty feet.

The Memphis avalanche con-
fines a very large-sized fact in a
limited amount ofspace when it
says: "The only opposition to
Bayard in the south is on the
score Of availability. 1t is con.
tended that he would prove
weak in the north, while it is
very apparent to every intelli-
gent observer that he is far
stronger in the north than any
other democrat yet named for
the nomination. He is one of
that small band of southern SEN
ators who are justly regarded
by all parties in the north as
more conservative than any Of
the northern democratic lead
ers. No northern man has so
strong a hold on the moneyed
interests of New York and New
England as Bayard. His finan-
cial record is without a flaw"

GARFIELD.

For eight days the entire country has
been in high state Of excitement awaiting
theresult of the republican national con-
vention.
On the 56th ballot James a. Garfield,
Of Ohio, received the nomination. Garfield
during the war was federal general and
for some years since has been quite prom
inent member of congress. He has been
an aggressive republican Of the radical
school and man after Blline's own heart.
That Grant and Blaine were both beaten
is a source OF great qualification in this part
OF the country. 1t shows that for once the
machine" did not work. Don Gamer
on's and Sosooe. Conkling's occupation
is entirely gone. Grant had been promi-
nent aspirant for the republican nomina-
ton ever since Hayes took possession Of
the White House. Blaine has also been
prominently before his party and has been
waiver of the bloody-shirt. Garfield has
also been and is now great admirer of the
ensanguined garment, but for all that is
much less Objectionable than either Of the
two prominent candidates, Grant and
Blaine. Grants defeat raises an incubus
from the country and gives us pure and
free atmosphere.
If the democratic convention will NOM
nate any manexcept Tilden there is a good
showing for victory to again perch upon
her banners. .-,..y.

The Waco Examiner says the in6dels,
a few months ago formed an association,
and called the Liberal League" A hall
was hired and since then, the League has
held reguler Sunday services, which con-
sists in readings, essays, and lectures inter
persed with music, secular songs being
used instead of hymns. The conduct of
the League is liberal enough; anyone be-
ing granted the privilege of speaking on
any subject, with the unexpressed under
standing that the speeches shall be in op-
position 10 christianity. The League has
now begun the publication of weekly pa
per called, "The Liberal League Advo-
cate" and in the End number, which is
now before us, call is made upon all lib
erals 10 subscribe for stock in the new pa
per, to build it up as permanent inslitu-
ton. @ 1850.
The, League at Dallas has but few pro-
fessed members, butts evidently carried ON
by some who mean 10 make it prunii-
