GsReral Francis A. Walker, superintAndelt
Of the Census, has submitted his regular an
nual report 10 the Secretary Of the Interior.
He says that although the work of taking the
tenth census is substantially completed, returns
having been received from all but seven of the
total number Of 81, 265 enumeration districts, it
will probably be two or three weeks before the
Office will be able to present complete statistics
Of the population Of the country, and he there
fore considers 1t advisable to postpone to .
future report all mention Of the results Of the
enumeration, and also all discussion of the
methods in use, as well as any suggestions
which may require to be made Of changes in
the census law with reference tn future
snumerations.

Secretary Schurz has made his annual report
and very exhaustive document it is. tire
views his entire four years services in that
department. Among other things, he says:
During the present Administration, the agri-
cultural labor of the Indians has beeINmore
than doubled in quantity and value. The fig
ures show that the civilized and uncivilized
tribes together cultivated last year 472, 73e
acres of land, or about IA acres to each man,
woman and child, upon an estimate that the
total Indian population of the country is 25O,-
0OO." Secretary Schurz expresses a firm belief
that the agricultural industry of the Indians
would be greatly stimulated, and its product
much increased, if assurance were given to
them, that they will be secured in the possession
of their lands. The desire and purpose of the
department is to largely increase the present
small number of Industrial Boarding Schools
for Indian youth, as day schools at agenciee
do not withdraw pupils from influences of
home surroundings sufficiently to facilitate a
change in then habits of daily life. Secretary
Schurz remarks that experience has strength
ened his conviction (Which, as this is his last
report, he. now feels at greater liberty to ex-
press) that the management Of Indian affairs
should continue to be intrusted to the civil and
not to the military branch of the public service.
His argument on this topic has been fully fore.
Swallowed in former annual reports. Referring
to measures instituted by the department to
put stop to depredations on public timber
lands, the Secretary reports they have been
highly successful. During the past three years
and upwards $40, 900 has been turned into the
Treasury as the result of keeping the depart
;ment's special agents in the field to detect and
prosecute. wholesale timber trespassers and
illicit cutting and transportation of timber
from the public lands along our coasts, which
had grown to an enormous yearly aggregate
but has been almost entirely arrested The
Secretary again urges upon the attention OF
Congress the great desirability Of enacting laws
to provide for the proper preservation of oul
forests by preventing the reckless waste which
now attends the emitting of timber in many
parts OF the country without restraint.

dumb Man Wade to speak.

A curious case of shamming by prisoner
has occurred in Washington. One Howard, in
dicted for burglary, soon after imprisonment,
feigned insanity and pretended to hang himself
with the bedclothes, but at q time when he
would be promptly taken down. When cut
icwn he pretended to be paralyzed in the legs
and unable to walk. All efforts to induce him
walk or talk were useless, and for eight months
he was an enigma to the jail officials, as also a
cause Of trouble, man being constantly in at
tendance on him to get him on or of the couch.
Finally the galvanic battery was applied to him
when his muscles responded and he dance('
vigorously around the cell. shortly after this
experiment he was tried and convicted. He
did not speak word during ;he trial, pretend
ing TO be amectea with paralysis of the tongue,
rendering him speeehless. This, however, was
found to be pretense, for when the galvanic
battery was applied to his nostrils, although
three Of the stoutest guards were holding him,
he broke away from them nll, exclaiming, my
God, you don't intend to KLINE, do you"

Effect Of Fright on the Hair.

The Gazette des Hooitau1 gave an
account lately of singular case of COM
plete slopecia. A girl, aged II, who had
always enjoyed health had one day
marrow escape from being crushed by
floor giving way beneath her. She was
very much frightened, and the same
night began to complain of headache and
chills. The next morning she felt rest
less, and had itching of the scalp. During
the few following days she steadily i'm

One day, in -combing her hair, she no

Three days later she was perfectly bald.

Whipping Children to Make Them

We are inclined to think that for chill

is about the most equal of punishments,
and we feel certain that all qualified

mania, it is enough to say that the

A memorial has beeen introduced into the
Georgia Legislature, asking that the Georgia
Representatives in Congress use all possible in
huence to procure legislation which shall pat
the small whisky distineries on the same foot

oppress poor men, and the manner of their
execution entails great expense on the govern

press the views which Alexander Stephens hal
frequently urged in Congress.

No sooner was sentence pronounced than a
