A WOman's Unwavering Affection.

A special to the Kansas City Times,
from Marshall, Tex, says: edward
Louery, foreman of the Texas Pacific
Railway, who was run over by train
last week, and 30 terribly injured as to
make his death momentarily expected,
was married to-day to his fiancee, a
Miss Self. The ceremony was a pecu-
liarly solemn and touching one. A few
intimate friends were present. The
wounded man was propped up in bed,
and made great efforts to pronounce his
part of the marriage VOWS, but speedily
became so weak that he could barely
move his lips. The young bride is a
beautiful girl, scarcely nineteen years of
age, and has quiet, interesting manners.
She has been constant in her devotion
to her lover since his terrible misfor-
tuue, and this last act is at the same
time an eloquent tribute to her noble
affection and the fidelity of her sex.

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 43, ,273 900, which
makes the gain since 1870 less than
5000, ,0a0, and the popu alton in 1880 in
the same ratio less than A, 100000. In
Professor fuckers work. Progress of
the United States," published many
years ago, the following rule was laid
down in computing the population of
the several decades up to 1900, which
proved remarkably accurate up to 1860.
But no calculation was made for the
devastating war and loss of life which
blighted our nation between 1860 and
1870, and the rule made anover-estimate.
By adding 3 per cent. of population to
the total number every year, it gave the
Approximate population as follows:

at the date of the publication of the

THE RENO BANK FAILURE.

The failure of the Reno Bank could only
have occurred through the most careless mis-
management. The bank has done large bus
mess and in times past been lavish with its
dividends 1t rushed along on small capt.
tai and its surplus earnings were given to the
stockholders instead of laying them aside for
rainy day. The fact that the President of the
baak knew nothing about the management of
a,lalrs further shows that he was not the man
for the place. The captain of a ship who
leaves everything to the engineer will soon see
his craft 60 on the rocks. When a Savings
Bank fails it entails loss upon a host of people
OF small means who have entrusted their hard
earnings to its care. As rule these people
have more confidence in a Savings Bank than
in any other commercial institution. In this
instance, however, the deposits were not 50
large as might have been expected from the
fact that many of the Reno people were strug-
Cling to regain a footing lost by the lire. AS
far as its liabilities have been ascertained it
owes the Anglo California Bank $50 900, de-
positors 1900, and L. P. Drexler SIC, 900.
Its assets do not seem at present to be known
but it is believed that it's outstanding accounts
secured by mortgages will cover its llabiiales.

The Bodie Standard pursues course with
Eastern advertising agents that every news.

of dealing with the class of men referred to as
follows:
We are daily in receipt of circulars from
Eastern advertising agents impertuning us to
insert their trash advertisements. We don't
want your patronage, for there is not one in a
hundred OF you who ever pay cent. If you
expect us to insert your advertisements send
along the money-you all know our terms
otherwise your letters and circulars 60 int

DIVIDED PARTY.

The New York Times thinks it is peculiarly
constituted party that will send Rebel Briga
diers to Congress because If their treason,
and then nominate a Union General because
of his loyalty. This peculiar disposition mar
Tested by one half of the Democratic party
t" pull against the other half is nothing new.
The northern democrats lock with wolfish
ewes toward the doors Of the National treas
ury, and crunch their teeth as they regard the
spectacle Of government honestly admins
tered They hope to see the time when a vic
tory at the ballot box will change the regime,
and are willing to work day and night for the
chance Of accomplishing such result. The
Southern democrats think Of no such plan !;
many of them would rejoice to see the war
revived and hear the tramp Of armed men
hurrying to the field. The old spirit Of re-
bellion is alive within their breasts, and
they can imagine ne peaceful way Of arriving
tween the two classes of Democrats We have
named, there is a wide gulf. The spectacle of
a man nominated for the highest office within
the gift Of the country, who has Inundated
the Sosth upon the field of battle, sours upon
the minds Of thousands below the Mason and
Dixon line, and they had rather stay from the
polls than vote for him. The Northern Dem
ocrats will not support rebel, and there are
enough Southern Democrats who will not
support Union General; to cause such a
candidate As Hancock to be d. feated. This
lack Of unity has caused many defeat to the
Bourbons, and will do So So again from the
by experience.
