REV. Mr.. BRowNELL, the newly appoint
ed pastor of the Oak Alley Presbyterian
church, at Pittsburgh, was not permitted
to preach in that edifice, last Sunday, the
Woodside faction barring his way to the
pulpit. This disgraceful contest has been
in progress for several months and appears
to be no nearer a settlement now than
ever.
THE Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, OF
Wisconsin, in session at Madison, elected

made public was transacted.
THE firm of Bull & Newton, owners o.
the Humboldt Touring mill, of Minneapo
| lis, failed June 4th, with liabilities amount
ing to 1925 900, of which all but $4,000 il
held in that city, the larger part by the
Northwestern National bank, which is am
ply secured. An assignment was made tt
G. II. Petit. Their failure dates back Il
the mill explosion, in which they were suf
ferers, and the embarrassment which fol
lowed in building their mill, and has beer
aggravated of late by the general depres
sion of business. The assets exceed th'
Liabilities, and the firm expects to have
surplus after paying all Indebtedness.

THE present census will taken un-be
der a system which will secure a great
er variety of information concerning
the population, industries, and re-
sources of the country than that furnish
ed by any previous census. The statis-
ties to be obtained, for instance, involve
minute inquiries concerning all cor
porations, to which their officers are re-
quired by law to make full answers; and
we shall therefore obtain new and i'm
portant fund of information relating
to railroad, telegraph, express, insur-
ancc, and other companies. The vital
statistics of the country will also be
gathered with completeness never be-
for attained; and the preliminary work
already done by the census bureau in
the preparation of blanks for these pur-
poses, in correspondence, and in. the
organization of special branches of in
qulry, has been on an enormous scale.
Besides his regular army of subordin-
ates, Gen. Walker. the superintendent
of the census, has the aid of experts in
various occupations, who will procure
statistics relating to labor and labor
saving machines, to manufactures
mining, agriculture and mortality
But the statistics which will have the
most immediate popular interest are
those relating to the growth of the
population of the country as whole
and of the different states and cities
and smaller communities. The census
of 1870 gave the population of the
United States as 3S,55s,371. The esti
mates for this year put it at 4S,OOO,OO(
or thereabouts. We may pretty safely
assume that the tenth census of the
United States will show the population
OF the country to be about 80, ,OOO, GOO
against y, ,0OO, 900 for Russia, 1927 ,OO'
for Germany, &c, SOC, 600 for France, "a,
900, GOO for Great Britain and Ireland
without the dependencies, 81 ,OOO,OO'
for Austria, and 27,76OOOO for Italy
These figures are those of the last cen
suses, which were taken between 1877,
and 1873, with the exception of. that o
Russia, which was taken in 1870.

The Largest Hotel in the World.


Four years and half ago the Palace
hotel began running" s5,000,000 bad
been spent in is construction and equip
ment, and it then seemed as if such an
enormous outlay could never be recoy-
cred, much less be made to come back
with interest Wiseacres by the le-
gion predicted the speedy collapse of
the vast enterprise, and even far-seeing
business men shake their heads doubt
ingly. The palace, they said, was a
town in itself; San Francisco already
possessed several first-class and very
large hotels; to erect another on such
an. enormous scale would be money
thrown away, Notwithstanding the fond
ness of California for living in hotels
and the vast stream of visitors which
constantly flows into the city. The
projectors of the palace, however,
thought different. They were men Of
boundless energy and enterprise, and
very important item-were possessed
of great wealth. They were convinced
that such an institution as the palace
could but be made to pay, and, having
reached that conclusion, carried their
gigantic scheme out to the end with an
undaunted vigor which astonished the
world. Let us see how right they We're
in their judgment. Last Sunday, the
palace hotel housed 1,122 guests, and
when we say "housed," we mean that
this vast number of people we're lodged
and fed with all the luxury that money,
taste and modern invention can supply.
Since the day mentioned the cry has
continually been, "Still they come" ;;"..but
the answer has perforce been themourn-
full one given to the ten foolish virgins:
'sToo late, too late, ye cannot enter
now," and the applicants we're forced
to seek shelter in less favored caravan
saries. For even the number reached
on Sunday sufficed to fill "the biggest
hotel in the world" to its utmost ca
pacity, though it was not until after the
rooms of the employees had been press
ed into service, and the servants sent to
find quarters outside, that the manage
ment inexorably refused to admit more
guests. This, we may remark, rs the
first time that the palace has been quite
full, but it looks very much as if state
of repletion is to be it's normal condi-
ton henceforward

Ingenious Escape Of Nihilists.

When it is remembered that the pris-
ons of Russia are crowded with twice as
many inmates as they were constructed
for, and that the pay of the overtaxed
wardens is barely suff to keep them
from starvation, the numerous escapes
of criminals may be easily accounted
for. These eyasions have been so plen-
tiful during the last few years that hard,
" day elapses without the flight q
somebody or other from his cell. Inth
case of ordinary conyicts not much sur
prise is commonly expressed in Russia

million dollars of United States money,
engaging in return to give our fisher
men the right of casting their nets in
Canadian waters. Canada steps in with

the British government remarks that
the matter can't be helped. This is al

ton of the treaty of Washington should

Bottom Dropped Out.

The bottom dropped out Of the Day
mine five days ago, says the Phoebe Record,
and left a hole in the bottom Of the winze.
A miner working in the bottom Of the
winze, known as the 460-foot level, while
engaged in picking ore, suddenly disap-
peared through the bottom Of the winze.
and dropped q distance Of about thirty feet
into a large cave Of ore, on the top of
which he had unknowingly been working.
The miner swears that he fell a distance Of
5000 feet and that it took him an hour
and a half to reach the bottom, and that
he smelt birthstone on the route. The
cave is very large and contains vast guam
titles of ore. During the week the men
have been engaged in timbering this por-
ton of the mine and making it safe for
them to work in, and they will start in
exploring the new discovery. Two assays
were made of the ore, one going $50 and
the other $137 in silver. We understand
that the Day Company are making ar
rangements with the Bristol M. d. M. Co.
to work 100 tons of ore for them. The
Bristol Company agrees to work the ore
up to the highest percentage that they are
able to, just simply charging for the work
ing of the same. This is the fairest mill
ing proposition that has ever been made in
this section. The general rule here with
u furnace and mill proprietors has been
to hog all the silver produced by custom
ores and bring the owners Of ores in their
debt.

We take the following items from the
Courier of Saturday:
The Eureka stage is making good time,
considering the wretched condition Of the
roads.
Several tons Of Barcelona ore were
shipped to Eureka this week for reduction.
We understand that operations in the
Morey mines and mill have suspended tenn
porarily.
The Typo mill is still pounding away on
ores from the company's mines, with good
results.
We learn that there is some machinery
for the Liguria on the way from Grants
vile to Spanish Belt.
The first issue OF the Bonanza will APP
pear in Grantsville to-day, and it may be
expected in Belmont tomorrow.
President Fidanza informs us that the
work of sinking the Liguria shaft is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, at the bottom of
which some very lively quartz is encoun-
tered. They are sinking the shaft at the
rate of seven feet per week,
Mr.. Buford, Superintendent Of the
Barcelona mine, reports that he will soon
have the boiler room ready to set the boiler,
and that he will then be ready to sink on
the winze and open up the largest bonanza
ever struck in this section.

On Sunday last, after sixteen months
campaign, the field season Of the United
States Geological Survey Of the Eureka
surveys was completed. Through fair
weather and foul the good work has gone
on, it being the desire to place the results
before the world as soon as possible. We
are satisfied, from present knowledge of
those engaged therein, that the important
interests Of our district will be so repre-
sented, and in SO clear and candid a man
ner, as to satisfy, by the most authorita-
tive exhibition, the demand for knowledge

in study, the geological staff has gone to

ton of the surveys and the geological re-
ports will be ready for issue to the public

future may be cast, they would it may be
as pleasant as has been their stay in our

The Amount Paid and Rate OF In
feresf Per Annum.

The following table, says the Engineer
ing and Mining Journal, gives the name,
price on December LIST Of the stock, and
the rate per annum Of the last dividend of
each Of the gold and silver mining COM
panies regularly quoted on our Stock Ex-
change lists, and which paid their last reg
ular monthly or quarterly dividend. This
list is by no means q formidable one, and
though the average rate paid is the salts
factory one of about rs per cent on the
present price Of the stock, it does not give
promise Of any great general advance. In
some cases 1t indicates rather q decline.
OF course, the dividends alone are by no
means a measure Of the value of a prop
erty; for a mine with large reserves and
regular assure veins carrying ore of q uni
form character is, as q rule, q far better in
vestment when paying Is or 90 per cent,
than a mine carrying exceptionally rich
ores in irregular deposits or pockets,
though it may be paying 80 or 40 per cent.
in dividends. Thus the Eureka Consoli-
dated usually pays nearly twice as much
on the market value of the stock as the
Ontario, or as Calumet q Hecla, which lat
ter has reserves in sight sufficient for eight
or ten years dividends:
