Numbering the English People.
iLondon Soeiety.1

1t is to be remarked that in the first
census, and in that OF 1911, no account
was taken of the ages of the population
and in 1921 the statement of ages was
left optional. In 1881, the number OF
males of 20 years and upwards was re-
quired. In 1S4l this inquiry became
closer, and then there was revolt in the
female heart, and, for aught we know,
in many a male heart also.
Another cause of anxiety was suspi-
cion that the ages Of men were required
in order that those within certain limits
might be "drawn for the Militia" and
it is probable that many omissions were
made on this account by some members
Of the family eontriving not to be at
home on the night to which the census
return was applicable. But though on
the last census night, that of Palm Sun
day, 1871, the 32,606 enumerators were
ready to make up above 10000 sched-
ules from that number of families and
dodgers living In 4, ,259, ,032 houses in ev-
cry shire in England and Wales, it may
be concluded that the 22,704,10S souls
included in the returns represented pref
ty we'll the entire population.
Certainly there were people who, OBJ
jecting to the personal scrutiny of the
enumerators Ga rather "fishy" kind OF
officers, necessarily selected from host
of candidates willing to earn about five
cents day by rather harassing work
sent their schedules privately to the Reg
istrar General with his permission
There was the wealthy spinster of ad
vanced age, who barred up the doors ant
windows of her house in the country, de
fed the inquisitor, declared her determi
nation to be fined f20 rather than reply
to his impertinent inquiries, and finally
was soothed by letter, and sent partic
ulars to the Registrar. 0..
There was the gentleman of property
who was willing to undergo any penalty
"rather than commit the crime for whicl
David suffered" and whose religious
scruples were respected, especially as thu
enumerator obtained all the information
he required probably at the nearest ale
house. There were the people whe
showed fight and elected the obnoxious
inquirer and were fined. ...
There was the gentleman who neither
knew his own age nor that of his child
and declined to commit perjury by max
ing guess at either; and there was the
humorous gentleman described as al
"author," who quoted the "opinion o
his wife" in the last column of his sched
ule. and put himself down as "both idio
and lunatic." But on the whole, the
returns were, doubtless, truthful rep
resentation OF the age, condition anc
number of the people.

Fieschi.
jCornhill MagaZine,1

t~-T--
The most famous of the attempts
against Louis Philippe was that made
by the Corsican, Fieschi, in 1885, by
means of an Internal machine composed
of number of gun-barrels. This das-
tardly outrage, committed in broad day
light, while the King was holding a
review, resulted in the death CT Marshal
Mortier and of IL other persons.
FiesciIi is suspected to have been the
mere hireling instrument of Republi-
can faction; but he went stoically to the
guillotine without having betrayed any
of his accomplices. '.
A private soldier named Alibaud, one
Darmes, mechanic, Meunier, a mer-
chants clerk, Lecomte, a game keeper,
and Henry, crack-brained manufacturer,
were among the other scoundrels who at
different times essayed to kill the most
peaceable monarch France ever had.
Louis Philippe had grown so accustomed
to be shot at, that he used to return to
the Tuileries after each new attempt in
perfectly composed frame of mind and
ready for hisevening's work.
The anxiety of his family and his Min
isters were, however, of course, very
great, and toward the close of his egn
he never showed himself in public with
out formidable escort of soldiers. By
way of taking exercise he was reduced to
walking in the parks of his two favorite
chateaux at Neuilly, near Paris, and Eu,
in the neighbofhood of Dieppe. Nobody
could get near him at either of these two
places, and it is not surprising that he
spent more of his time in them than il
any of the other roval Residences.

Miss Louisa Alcott is said to be a cap
ital natural actress. The Boston Herald
says that she once came very near going
on the stage, having secretly made ar
rangements for doing SO, and intending
to surprise her friends. Through delay
in her expected debut her family found
out her project, and it was nipped in the
bud. A good while ago she wrote farce
for William Warren, but as the other
characters had greater opportunities fol

play in it, though it was performed sew.
eral times. She afterward wrote a ro
mantle drama, which was so quarreled
over by the two leading ladies of the
Boston Theater that Miss Alcott took il
back for revision, and finally threw il
impetuously into the fire, having nc
manuscript ready for Mr.. Barry wher
he sent for it to put it in rehearsal.

met with very simple but painful &C.
cident which has prevented him from
filling his accustomed seat on the bench
at New Castle during the present term
of court. The Judge had been sitting
at table and~upon arising, his knee
struck against the sharp edge o: the
table, with such painful force that the
cartilage Ct the knee cap was very much
injured, and since then has become
very much swollen and more painful.
The Judge did with some difficulty at
