Census EnumeratOrS.

The Washington correspondent of the
Inter Ocean gives the following informa-
ton regarding the appointment of emu
merators to take the next census:
The supervisors select enumerators,
subject to the approval of the Census
Bureau here; the number will be accord
ing to population. In sparsely settled
districts there will be one for every 1000
or l, 800 people, while in populous regions,
ETC., one will collect statistics for every
1000 or $1,000 There is no fixed rate of
compensation, and the aim will be to
equalize the pay according to the difficult
ties of the work, the enumerator of COM
pact town receiving less for taking the
census of a thousand people than one
who has to scour all over struggling ru-
raj neighborhood. It is not the inten-
ton of the Census Bureau, however, in
any case, to pay men by the day, as the
experience of New York and other States
has shown that the effect of this is to
make the work drag along and the cost
increase
Mr.. John Mulig, Poyner, Iowa, sends
us the following communication:
have been sufferer with Rheumat-
ism for the last six years; | tried lots of
medicines without any success. Visiting
one day the store of Messrs. Wangler Bros,
in Waterloo, Iowa, these gentlemen in
duced me to try the St. Jacobs Oil, telling
me that it had record as a very effect
i've remedy. [ bought bottle, used it re-
gularly according to directions, and
was relieved of the ailment from which
[ had suffered for six long years
THE February Atlantic is a notable
number, containing, in addition to its
new quota of IA pages, a Supplement
giving a full account Of the Holmes
Breakfast, with the speeches, poems, and
letters of that very interesting occasion.
Several new chapters are given of Mr..
Howell's serial, "The undiscovered Coun-
try and it is safe to say that any one
who fails to read it loses some of the most
delightful of current reading. Mr.. Long
fellows poem, "Helen of Tyre" in the
measure Of 'Sandalphon," is one of the
most pleasing poems Mr.. Longfellow has
ever written. Richard Grant White has
a curiously interesting article on "Anto-
MUS Stradivarius and the Violin" Gold
win Smith contributes striking essay on
"Pessimism, which is sure of wide read
ing and liberal criticism. G. P. Cranch,
the poet, writes an interesting and in
structive essay on "Wordsworth. Miss
Woolson has short story, 'The South
Devil, !" which no lover of good short
stories should miss. There is an unsign-
ed paper worth reading on "The Strong
Government idea" There are, in addi-
ton to other poems and essays, criticisms
of Mr.. Fiske's new Essays, Dickens Let
tiers; and varied collection of bright
things in the Contributors Club An ex-
cellent number at the regular price,-the
