EVERY newspaper that reaches
us contains more or less, some items
about the Census and even ia many
cases almost accurate and complete
returns are published from the vari-
Gus ci.ie-, towns, and counties Of
The different States of the Union
From some cause or other Louisiana
is more backwards than any other
State, and precious little rs yet has
been heard from the Parishes. The
most important object III this matter
IS to have correct, fair and just
enRmer ltion on the whole line, and
we confidently hope that the South
will not lose in representation and
that Louisiana will hold her own.
The first ratio of representation in
Congress under the first census, ia
ken in 1890, was one representative
to every 10000 inhabitants, the
House then consisting only of Go
members. The ratio has been in ,
creased after each census, and the
size of Congress continued increa-
sing at the same time, except in the
period between 1888 to 1853, when
the members fell from 240 to 237.
The present ratio is 131 ,435 and the
number Of Representatives 293. The
apportionment under the Census now
being taken, does not 60 into effect
until after March 4, 1883. General
Walker, the Chief Of the Census Blu
reaus, if his estimate of our popula.
tion proves correct, predicts that the
new representation in Congress will
be one Representative to every 172-
500 votes.

GiRFIELB'S RECORD.
WHAT WAS TIL o q g 1T OF HIS
CREDIT MOBILIEK TRANS
ACTIONS IN
1873.

I nerer olcned, recejred, or agreed to
receire ann stock Of the Credit Nobitier
or of the Union Pacifc Railroad, nor
any dividends or profits arising from
either of Mem.- From his Own Sworn
Testimony before the Poland Commit
tee, January IA, 1879.
The facts in regard to Mr.. Garfield,
as found by the Committee, are that
he agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten
shares of Credit Mobilier stock, but
did not pay for the same. Mr.. Ames
received the SO per cent dividend in
bonds and sold them for 90 per cent,
and also received the 60 per cent cash
dividend, which, tngether with the
price of the stock and interest, left a
balance of 1920. This sum was paid
over to Mr. Garfield By check on the
Sergeant-at Arms. and Mr.. Garfield
then understood this sum ,ras the bal,
anee of dtuidchds after paying for the
STOCK From Jadge Po.and's Report,
February I8, 1873 -Garfc!d'S Testimo-
ny Pictured.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present
most distressing figure. Their par
ticipafion in the Credit Mobilier affair
is complicated by the most unfortunate
contradiction of testimony. 40 New
York Times, February 10, 1873.
The character of the Credit Mobilier
was no secret. The source of its prof
its was very well known at the time
Congressman bought it. Though
Cakes Ames may have succeeded in
concealing his own motive, which was
to bride Congressman, their acceptance
of the stock was not on that account
innocent. The dishon0r of the act, as
participation in an obvious fraud,
still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in tes-
timony with reference to the matter
which has been contradicted. The
Committee distinctly rejects the teStimo-
ay Of several Of the members. This can
only be done on the ground that 1t is IN
true. But untrue testimony giUen nnde,
oath is morally, Jnot legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress to
visit with punishment all who took
Credit Mobilier stock from Cakes Ames.
New York Times, February 20, 1873.
James A. Garfield, of Ohio, had ten
shares; never paid dollar; received
1929, which, after the investigation
began, be was anxious to have consid-
cred as loan from Mr.. Cakes Ames
himself.
Well, the wickedness of all of it is
that these men betrayed the trust of
the people, deceived their constituents,
and by evasions aud faisehoods con-
fessed the transactions to be disgrace
full From the New York Tribune,
February 10, 1873.
MIR. Ames establishes very clearly
the point that he was not alone iu this
offense. If he is to be expelled for bril-
berry, the men aOho acre bribed should 90
auih him. From the New York Irib-
aae, February &c, 1873.

A REPUBLICAN ORGAN ON GARFIELD.
To subscriber who Withdrew his

ord, the News says:
"There is not that man or party liv-
ing who can say truthfnlly that the
Daily Neacs has ever been influenced
by any other motive than a desire to
speak the absolute truth, and to do
absolutely right. TO continue un.
swervingly in this path can certainly
constitute no qualification AS to
Gen. Garfield, the Daily Ne,es believes
him to be corrupt and dangerous
politician-and none the less dangerous
because he professed better things.
The writer of this paragraph sat in the
committee room in Washington and
listened to the shameful story of Gar
fields corrupt connection with the De
Golyer contract: There is no mistake
about it. The charges against Gar,
field arc true. Knowing this, the
Dnily Ne,Vs would be untrue to every
dictate of honesty and deceucy did it

much us we are panied to lose the

a. Fifteen Minutes CourtshIp.

About two years since Sister Mary
Funk, a young lady of iiiost respectable
parentage and devout Catholic, came
| to this city from Frankfort, and was ad-
| mitted to the convent at the corner of
Chestnut and Shelby streets, and WAS
after this a suh-teacher in the school at
the corner of Webster and Washington
streets. Some time after this there came
a red iiest for the services of d sub-teacher
| in the convent in JeffersonVille, and Miss
Funk, still under the direction Of the
/ prioress, accepted the situation and per-
| formed her work well and faithfully.
During all the time that she was con-
nected with the convent here as lay
sister, those who associated with her
now speak of her as true woman, In
the strictest sense of the word. She
never complHined, went straightforward
in the performance Of the duties that
were assigned to her, and at times
seemed perfectly satisfied with her life,
and like the other members of the noble
sisterhood. she was always ready to
sacrifice her own happiness and COM
fort, and if necessary. her life, in order
to alleviate the sufferings of those who
were in distress.
After some time, and for what reason
no one knows, Miss Funk became dis
satisfied with her life, and concluded to
marry. The more she studied about
the charms of double blissedness the
more she was convinced that she wanted
to marry. As no one knows the secrets
of the human heart it is only just to say
that no one has right to criticise her
acts. 1t is said that she stated to a
friend that if she could find man who
suited her tastes she would marty him in
fifteen minutes. The friend happened
to know 6 fifteen minute man " and a
man who bears a splendid reputation,
and the two people who wanted to marry
were introduced, and in Just fifteen
minutes contract to cling together
'for better or for worse" was entered
into, and the young sister, with affect
| ing solemnity, bade an affectionate
adieu to the walls of the convent, hung
her veil on the fence and launched out
on the stage plank that leads to the good
ship matrimony, and she is now gliding
down the river of life by the joyous light
of the honeymoon.
The gentleman she married is named
Hillerbrand, and he has for some time
been employed on Arterburn's place, ON
the Brownsboro road. This is a re-
mafKaDle case, as S1SLeT VINO once en-
tiers convent seldom leaves it, but pre-
fers to leave the world with its joys,
its sorrows and its myriad of sins behind
her. Miss Funk Lad not entered the final
order of sisterhood, and if she saw
proper TO change the life that she had
started out to lead with the best OF in
tentions, it certainly is credit to her to
come out openly and act her part as she
has, and if she is happy and contented,
the world will find no fault with her
conduct. Louisville (Ky.) Courier. Jour
nal.

About Rubber Boots.

Undue competition between manufacturers
has led to an extent of adultera.ion and
cheapening of material never before known
in the business. Crude rubber has the quality
OF absorbing or OF becoming incorporated
with very large quantity OF cheap ard bulky
substances like lampblack, chalk, etc., which
cannot be detected by the uninitiated, and
which impair the durability OF the goods.
People call for low-priced goods, not re-
flecting that low prices always mean low
quality. The result is they waste money on
"wild cat" rubber boots, when an extra
dollar or two would buy them pair which
will wear to their utmost satisfaction whole
season or more. The "95 Per Cent Sterling
Rubber B ot," manufactured by the Candee
Rubber Co., New Haven, Conn, is meant to
reform this abuse, and is well worth the in
spection OF those who need real good article.
Every store dealing in the "95 Per Cent.
Sterling Rubber Boots" is supplied with O
sample cut open 10 show the construction.
they are warranted three months, and the
storekeeper will punch the date OF sale in the
top of the leg Of each boot.

Ninety and Nine.

On the Aletusch glacier I saw a
strange, Beatitifiil sight the parable Of
the ninety and nine reacted to tie letter.
One dav we were making our way with
ice-axe and alpen stock down the gla-
cier, when we observed flock of sheep
following their shepherds over the in
tricate windings between crevices. and
sd passing from the pastures on the one
side Of the glacier to the pastures on the
hundred all told, but on the way one Of
them had got lost. One of the shep-
hards, in his German patois, appealed
to us if we had seen it. Fortunately one
of us had field glass; with its aid we
discovered the lost sheep in tangle of
brushwood on the mountain side. 1t
was beautiful to see how the shepherd,
without a word. left his hundred and
ninety=nine sheep Oh the glacier waste
(knowing they would stand there per
fectly still and safe), and went Chamber
ing back after the sheep until he found
It; and he actually put it on his shoulder
and returned rejoicing:

A Bear Fight in Maine.

A young man named Oliver. in the
employ of James Webster, Esq, of
Ocono, who is doing an extensive lum-
ber business on the waters of Aroostook
county, had notable experience the
other day with huge black bear.
Oliver, who is twenty-five years of age,
and had never before seen a bear, was
passing through the woods. when he
came to large tee, in the trunk of
which there was large hole. Think
ing it might be the den of some animal,
he thrust his axe into the hole, and was
surprised when it struck some soft sub
stance. He Immediately cut long pole
and repeated the experiment when,
without any dallying, huge black
head appeared at the outer edge of the
hole. 1t proved to be that of q bear OF
enormous size. As bruin poked out his
head aud the fore part offlis bcdy young
Oliver struck him q clip with his axe,
taking off three of his toe nails. This
surgical operation SO enraged the bear
that he made an angry plunge at Oliver
and nearly succeeded in getting him
with his axe into the den. The young
man had by this time concluded that it
was either himself or the bear, so he
dotted his coat and mittens. and bracing
himself struck the old fellow terrible
blow on the head. This seemed only to
enrage him the more, and as his eyes
flashed fire his ears stood erect and his
breast protruded and he made another
dash at his intended victim. But young
Oliver was prepared for him, and dealt
him such a blow as split open his head
from the base of the brain to point
even with his nose. This finished the
bear, who snorted few times and rolled
dead at the feet of Oliver. He was a
black bear, apparently what is known as
an 's0ld ranger measured nine feet
from the tip of his nose to the hind
paws, and weighed over 450 pounds.
After he had killed the monster, young
Oliver became frightened, and standing
there gazing upon his carcass he says he
could feel his own hair risS upon
end.-P0rtlG15d Press,

The young ladies of Chattanooga
(Tenn.) organized "a leap-year party,
hired ball, ordered supper, and went
around in carriages to hunt up the
young men to compel them to come in.
Everything was lovely until they went
to settle the bills, when they learned
that the young men had already paid
them. The young ladies say now that
it was "real mean " in the boys, and
declare that they will never give
another leap year party.
