Tributes Of Great Men TO Mothers.

Jean Paul Richter said: Know you
what especially impels me to industry?
Mn mother. | shall endeavOr to sweeten
part of her lie,I that rptberwise has
been 40 unfortunate, and lessen by my
help and sympathy the great sorrows
she has suffered. 70 her afonef owe the
foundation of my mind snd heart.
George Herbert said: One good
mother is worth a hundred school
masters. In the home she is lOadstOne
to all hearts, and loadstar to all eyes.
De Maistre, in his writings, speaks of
his mother with immense love and rev.
erence. He described her as his " sub
lime-mother," an angel, to whom God
had lent body for brief season."
To her he attributed the bent of his char
acter, and her precepts were the ruling
influence of his life.
One charming feature in the character
of Samuel johnson Notwithstanding his
rough exterior) was the tenderness with
which he invariably spoke of his mother,
who implanted in his mind his first i'm
rressions of religion. In the time of his
greatest difficulties he contributed out
of his slender means to her comfort.
CromwelPs mother was a woman of
spiri. and energy, equal to her mildness
and patience; whose pride was honesty,
and whose passion was love: and whose
only care, amidst all her splendOr, was
for the safety of her son in his dangerous
emlnence.
Curran speaks with great affection of
his mother, to whose counsel, riety and
ambition::he attributed his success in life.
lie used to say, elf | possess anything
more valusbie than face or person, or
wealth, it is that dear parent gave her
child portion from the treasure of her
mind"
1t wa' AIRY Schcifer's mother whose
beautiful features the painter so loved
70 reproduce in his pictures, that by
great self-denial provided him with the
means of pursuing The study of art.
Michelet writes: II lost my mother
thirty years ago, nevertheless she fol.
lows ne from age to age. She suffered
with me in my poverty and was not
allowed to share my better fortune.
Napoleon Bonaparte was accustomed
to say that "the future good or bad con-
duet of child depended entirely on the
mother" Nobody had any command
over him except his mother, who found
means by mixture, of tenderness,
severity and justice, to make him love,
respect and obey her.
Goethe owed the bias of his mind and
character to his mother, who possessed
in . high degree the art of stimulating
young and active minds. "She was
worthy of life! !" once said Goethe, and
when he visited Frankfort he sought out
every individual who had been kind to
her and thanked them ALL

Population Of the United States.

Mr.. Porter, the Western statisticlan,
has arrived at the conclusion that the
present population of the country, in
round numbers, is 10 $4,000, which
makes the gain since 1870 less than
5000. Oh. aud the population in. 1SS0 in
the same ratio less, than 44,0O0,Q 900. in
Professor fuckers work. "Progress of
the United States" published many
years ago, the following rule was laid
down in cosiputing the population of
the several dseades up to 1900, which
proved remarkably accurate up to 1860.
But no calculation was made for the
devastating war and loss of life which
blichted our nation between 1850 ami
1870, and the rule made anOver-e,timate.
BY adding per cent. Of population To
the total number every year, it gave the
approximate population as follows:

A Mysterious Stabbcr.

Considerable excitement has been
aroused whiting the last few days at
Strasburg BY the extraordin ary proceed
iugs of a'fmysteriOus stranger, who
makes his appearance regularly al
nightfall in one or the other of the less
frequented thOrOughfares. armed with a
sharp, dSuble-edged poinard, and, as
soon as he perceives an unprotected
female" sannters up to her in leis-
urely way and strikes her on the right
breast with his weapon, inhicting a
slight wound of from half to thee
quarters Of. an inch deep. Since the
18th inst. he has succeeded in stabbing
no fewer than fifteen women and girls
in this manner, upon each occasion
taking to flight as soon as he had made
his coup. and before his panic stricken
victims had sufficiently recovered IRON
their terror to raise an alarm. The I'm
perial police authorities have made
search for this eccentric misdemeanant
described by those who have felt the
point of his dagger as young, slight in
build, and well dressed-in all the
hotels, inns, and lodging houses of the
venerable cathedral city, but as yet to
no purpose. They have plscarded the
town with official warnings addressed to
heads of families, urging them not to
permit their wives ard daughters to
traverse the streets alone after dark,
and exhorting the male population OF
Strasburg to assist tine police in discov-
ering and arresting this dangerous male
factor. The placards in question were
published early on sunday. evening last.
Three hours later two young girls were
stabbed, both in the right breast, while
returning home from vespers through
streets by no means void of pedestrians
at the time the respective assaults were
committed. A large reward is now
offered by the Governmentf for the seiz-
ure of the dexterous bravo, who has
rendered the cleaning SO terrible to
Strasburgs fair daughters.

New Styles in ParasOIs.

An exhibition was made yesterday by
a New York establishment of their
paras,ls designed Tor the coming season.
\ distinc uished feature of their new
parasols is the reduction in the number
Of the ribs-twelve now being used in
place Of sixteen, as last year. The ribs
are red, and the lining, which is either
of plain or changeable cOlOred silks, is
placed between the ribs and the cover.
Much changeable colOred silks will also
be used in the covers. One of the pref
tiest of these silks is called "sunset {"
shade. Tnc colors are of bright rich
Lues to match The new materials in
dress goods. In place of an elastic for
securing the parasol when closed, an
ivory ring is provided. A ball tassel
serves as an ornament. The parasOls
are trimmed wlth'rich chenille fringes
or with cashmere laces, in which colOrs
I" match the cashmere shawls are used.
The sticks are mostly OF carved natural
woods, but some very rustic ones are
unvarDished aud have beetles or flies
resting on them. Owls heads are a
design for carved handles made of black
or gray Siamese horn. Novel handles
are made of metal or China, in japanese
designs. Some beautiful hand painted
China handles were shown which cost
As much AZ 81 each. Many of these
parasols have ribbon rOse:te tied to
the handle and another to match at thu
topof the parasOl. The goods exhibited
showed excellent taste. CID -.-r
