The case of a St. Louis boy,

- The case of St. Louis boy, II
years of age, who was recently injured by
falling on nail, promises to turn out one
of the most remarkable in surgery. The
nail entered the boys temple and passed
through the skull into the brain, which
oozed out through the aperture when
the nail was Withdrawn, and since then
the discharges have been almost continu-
aus. The doctors inGattendance expect
the boy to recover, although agreeing
that the case is remarkable one. The
boy is bright and cheerful. and has devel-
oped an extraordinary liking for soda
water.

GEoRGIA's ELECTORAL VOTE LOST
The vote for President was cast on the
1st instant, according to the laws of the
United States, except.by the Georgia cleo
States require therElectoral Colleges to
assemble on the first Wednesday in De.
cember and cast their vote. The law of
Georgia required them to meet on the
first Monday in December and cast their
vote on Wednesday. But unfortunately
the first Wednesday was the first day Of
December, and thus the "solid South"
was broken by the failure of the Georgia
electors to comply with the law. As
Garfield and Arthur would have been
elected in any event, it happens that this
failure does not substantially effect the
result.

Details of the recent earthquake in
Austria show it to have been almost rs
terrible as similar convulsions in South
America. The loss by destruction of
buildings in Agram alone is set at about
two million dollars. The damage to the
Cathedral is so great that the tower, at
least will have to be pulled down and
be rebuilt from its foundations, and it is
feared that the nave of the building is also
irremediable ruined. This is the more
to be regretted, as the Cathedral is one
of the oldest and most interesting cccle-
siastical edifces in the Austrian Empire;
it was consecrated as long ago as
1917. The loss and damages in works OF
art and antiquities in the city are very
great.

The annual report of Attorney
General Deyens gives in detail and
at great length the operations
and business of the department of
justice, including the courts, the attor-
ney:general's Office, and the various otIi-
GERS charged with the enforcement Of the
Federal election law. He states that the
various United States Courts, high and
low, are so greatly hampered by business
which they cannot clear off as rapidly as
it accummulates that it is question
whether it does not amount to delay of
Justice. In the Supreme Court business
is from two and half to three years be-
hind, with no prospects of catching up,
and it is as bad in some of the Circuit and
District Courts. There is more business
la fact, than courts have been provided
to attend TO, sand The attorney general
suggeststhat it"would be wise for Congress
to consider if it cannot create intermedi-
ate courts of errors and appeals 10 relieve
the circuit and district Courts, and inter-
cept large part of the cases which now
20 up to the Supreme Court. The attor-
ney.g general also recommends that United
States district attorneys be paid stated
salaries, instead of fees. as at present.
He gives large space to- the subject
'ofAthe Federal election laws and
their administration during his term
of office. There has been and still is,
he says, great deal of fraud and intimi.
dation in connection with election of
Congressman, and the law has been Wig
olously enforced in order to put n stop
to these assaults upon the fundamen-
tai idea of popular electiony-a free vote
and an honest count. Mr.. Devens, while
admitting that the law is costly recon.
mends the extention of every polling
place at which members Of. Congress are
voted for. He: also, in mentioning the
factithat Congress has failed 10 appropri:
ate money for paying the subordinate
officers engaged in enforcing this law, in
Inmates that they have not suffered, as a
means was found of providing for them.

PHILADELPHIA's PoPULATIoN.-The
census of Philadelphia just published by
the department of the interior affords
some interesting points of comparison
with New York. The total population

button of the population over the entire
area of the city. New York has twenty.
four wards with varying population OF
from 1,6OS to 158, ,1OS. Philadelphia has
thirty.three wards, in none of which is the
population less than 10000 or as much as
$4,000. It is true that the wards in New
Yorksare verysarbitrary divisions varying
considerable IN their area, but the actual
difference in the manner of the distribu-
ton Of the population of the two cities
is not misrepresented by the above fig
ures.
The next point of contrast is in the
relative proportion ofnatives and foreign
ers. In New York the foreign element
composes 40 per cent. of the entire popu-
lation,. while in Philadelphia it is only 25
per cent. The negro population of Phil
