This was not the worst novel. There

This was not the worst hovel. There
were others smaller and more wretched,
both here and at similar cluster of
novels called Killenacoff. But it is use
less to describe them one by one. Every
where l saw COWS, calves, pigs, horses,
asses and hens living in the same room
with young mothers and children-in
the same damp, dark, slippery, smoky
novels, half stable and half home; every
where saw old men and old women
ragged and barefooted, and hungry and
cold and despairing.
At Killenacoff the good priest offered
to expend sum that had been sent for
the twenty-four families of that hamlet
to him, in paying them wages at the
rate of q shilling day to build road
for their own use, so that they might
earn their scanty meals, and save their
self-respect. They gladly accepted the
offer. 1t is to the credit of these starv-
ing people that they do not want relief,
but work; that they are anxious to be
employed, and only accept aims because
their families would perish from hunger
without it.
/ shall tell of only one more visit.
As we crossed the barrier"-Father
Lynskey was some distance behind at
the time-I saw two little children, with
bare red feet and blue lips, sitting at the
roadside near what seemed to be the
roof of a pig-sty or little stable. for the
roof was flush with the road. noticed
that they were rather more tastefully
clad (albeit in rags) and that they
seemed OF finer organization than most
of the children that l had seen. Their
faces were clean. A slim blonde woman
of thirty or more, whose face showed
traces of early beauty, stood with de-
jected countenance near them. As /
looked second time at the little crea-
lures the woman spoke to me and said
that she had not been able to get any re-
lief, and that her children had not eaten
a mouthful since yesterday. 1t was
now afternoon.
Where do you live?" / asked.
"Therei"
She pointed to a house that had sup
posed to be a little stable. 1t was built
between the barrier and the road. She
had put it up with her own hands, she
said. / turned to the man who was
guiding me-

hut. Itwas not fifteen feet by ten. There
was no window; there was no firepiare
there was no hole in the roof, even, for the
smoke to escape, and only three bits of
turf burned on the hearth. A little
white kitten, singed and dirty and
famished, was crouching near the
semblance of fire. At one end of the
hovel was a rude bed, and two dirty
rags for covering. The straw Of the
roof was half-rotten; when il rained
hard, the woman said. the rain came
through into the cabin. There was no
furniture save kettle and table and q
stool. Where is your husband?" ]

NM. Forney PLAYS the Dickens.

MIR ). W. Forney, Jr., relates the fol-
lowing experience: One morning as
was standing at the Chestnut street en-
trance of the Press office, the proprietor
of another Philadelphia newspaper
stopped and shook hands. There was q
stranger with him, but did not look
into his face, merely replying to the
words of greeting of the journalist.
Then Mr.. - (the journalist) spoke of
Dickens; said that he had arrived in
Philadelphia, and that there was a tre-
mendous rush for tickets. replied
that I was sorry for it, adding some
thing to the effect that the American
eople should be ashamed OF making
themselves so ridiculous for the sake of
honoring man who had scandalously
abused them, and would doubtless do it
again. l saw at once that something
was wrong, for the journalist, hastily
bidding me good DAY, walked on with
his companion. 1t was not long before
I discovered what the trouble was, for
a reporter coming along told me that
Charles Dickens and Mr.. - had just
gone into the Continental hotel. 1t was
in the presence of Mr.. Dickens that
had expressed myself so bluntly, and
through that hasty action | doubtless
missed the honor Of an introduction.

A Guess at the Population.

What the population of the republic
is, says New York paper, we shall
soon know-so far as census takers can
ascertain it. Meanwhile, private statis-
ticians are at work TO see how near they
can come by calculation and estimate (,
the actual figures. One OF these puts
the present population in round num-
bers at 43 273, 900, which would make
the gain since 1870 less than 5000 600
In a work published good while ago,
three per cent. of population was added
to the fetal number each year, and the
estimates were found 10 correspond
very closely to the figures of the census
The estimate for 1870 was Al, ,6l7 Cos !;
the census was only 38, $50 81; but the
destruction of life by the civil war had
not, of course. been anticipated. The
estimate for 1880 was 1856. 1876 The
gain from 1910 to 1850 was 6, 122, 600; !;
from 1850 to 1860, s $3.50. 600; from 1860
to 1870, Z. lis, 600. During -he ten years
from 1860 to 1870, Massachusetts, gained
226, 900, and New York 02,O00 Thes e
figures show a rapid increase of gain
over the previous decade, and it is
claimed and acknowledged that the
Southern and Western States have
gained more rapidly in the past nine
than in the previous ten years. There
fore, the estimate of the statistician
above quoted seems to be far too low.
According to the best information pro-
durable, and the most careful calcula-
tions, the census will show the popula-
tion in 1880 to be fully Al, ,0OO, 900, or a
gain of nearly 100000 over the popu-
lasiOn ten years before.
