Our Young Folks.
WHY MOTHER Is PROUD.

LOOK in his face, look in his eyes,
Roguish and blue and terribly wise
Roguish and blue, but quickest to seq
When mother comes in as tired as can no.
Quickest to find her the incest old chair.
Quickest to get to the top of the stair.
Quickest to see that a kiss on her cheek
Would help her far more than to chatter, to
speak.
Look in his face and guess, if you can
Why mother is proud of her little man
The mother is proud will tell youths:
You can see it yourself in her tender kiss.
But why? Well, of all her dears
There is scarcely one who ever hears
The moment she speaks, and jumps to see
What her want or her wish might be-
Scarcely one. They all forget,
Or are not in the notion to go quite vet.
But this she knows if her boy is near,
There is somebody certain to want to hear.
Mother is proud, and she holds him fast
And kisses him first and kisses him last;
And he holds her hand and looks in her face,
And hunts for her spool which is out of its
place,
And proves that he loves her whenever he
can.
That is why she is proud of her little man.

The Census-takers.

THE census-enumerator is a man to
be pitied. The dogs fly at him; the
Irish maid of-all-work slams the door in
his face; the suspicious and unintelli-
gent foreigner orders him off the pre-
misses, with the vague idea that he
means "draft,' or " taxes;" and peo-
pie who have education enough to know
better insult him for doing his duty, and
refuse to answer his questions. With
disheartening regularity, Bridget re-
sents the inquiry of her name as a per-
sonal affront, and curiosity as to her
age is an offense not to be given. She
replies sometimes with string of fla
grant and amusing falsehoods. The
mistress is not unfrequently as insolent
as the servant, and almost as great q
liar. One of the enumerators is re-
ported as expressing his conviction that
out of hundred women whom he had
asked the prescribed question about age,
not more than four or five had told the
truth. Men of apparent responsibility
and position are as rude to the census
taker as the people of the lower classes.
Fifth Avenue is quite as troublesome as
Mulberry Street.
The work of the census has been so
fully explained in the newspapers that
nobody ought to be ignorant of what
the Government requires in respect to
it. The questions to be put involve no
unnecessary scrutiny of private affairs,
and the information collected by
this agency is of the highest
value to the whole community,
as the basis of political and economical
legislation. But census to be of prac-
teal benefit to the country must be ap-
proximately accurate; and an incom-
plete, misleading enumeration may be
worse than none at all. The law prop
erly provides severe penalties for those
who willfully obstruct the work; and if
the enumerators continue to encounter
such difficulties as have hitherto thwart-
ed them, it will be necessary to make
some conspicuous examples of obstinate
offenders. The penalty for refusing to
answer the questions of the census-tak-
ers, or for answering falsely, is fine of
800. Proceedings have already been
taken for the enforcement of this pun
ishment in several instances. 1t is ad-
'AoUpAO w OOSlL WlOh llUblC WuOlGSOulc
severity, and perhaps the pressure of
the court may well be applied to OBJ
structionists in the upper as well as the
lower ranks of society, until the obliga-
tons of the public are universally un-
derstood.
Intelligent citizens, who appreciate
the Importance of the work, can do a
great deal to facilitate operations if they
will see that when the enumerators call
upon them they are promptly and fully
answered. Every head of household,
when he goes out in the morning, should
leave proper instructions with somebody
In the family to furnish the required an.
swers to the questions. The enumera.
tors have hard and disagreeable work
to do for small pay, and no one ought
to give them superhuous trouble.-N

Capt. YOre's Encounter with Grizzly.

THE train was delayed several hours.
There were but half dozen passengers
all told, and they all got out on the little
station platform. In looking down
the valley from the station (Truckee is
away up the mountains on the main line
of the Central Pacific Railroad), we
could see some kind of an animal com.
ing down out of the timber and making
its way over the top of the snow toward
the river. 1t looked like steer or a
mule, and none of the travellers thought
it was anything else.
The snow was four feet deep and
frozen so hard that one could walk over
the top without breaking through.
Capt. Vincent Yore, of St. Louis, a man
well known in steamboat circles both in
st. Louis and Pittsburgh, and, in fact,
all along the river, was one of the pass
engers. There is considerable of the
daredevil underneath his quiet demean-
or, having run the upper Missouri in his
early days, and attended many an
Indian council along with Gen. Sher-
man when the General lived in St.
Louis. Yore was returning from San
Francisco, where he had been to settle
some railroad business for St. Louis
parties, and was fixed up neat and
bright as a new pin. He spied the
animal and said he thought it was a
bear, and that if he had a gun he would
go down and shoot it. We all laughed
at him, for he did not look much like a
bear hunter, and the station agent.
a burly fellow with q red flannel shirt,
and boots outside of his pants-a regu-
dar picture of forty -niner-joined in,
saying he would give him gun if he
wanted to shoot the grizzly. Capt
Yore was good shot and could be COO
under trying circumstances. The sta.
ton agent, who was at once the express
agent, ticket agent, baggage smasher
and everything combined, went into his
little office and brought out beautiful
breech-loading rifle. Handing it tc
YOre, he said sarcastically, 'Here's 8
gun" Capt. Yore took the gun anc
started toward the end of the platform
The passengers, of course, never
dreamed he was in earnest.
The station agent called him bacl
when he had gone down off the steps
and, bringing out a little rat-terriel
dog of the light woolly Scotch pattern
said:
Here, you'll want a dog when you
go bear-hunting.
Capt. Yore turned back, picked VI
the dog, and, putting it under the flal
of his coat, started down toward tn
bear. The grizzly had by this time 60
out far enough to be plainly seen, as h
made his way across the narrow valley
He looked to be the size of horse, ant

or not. The Rocky Mountain grizzly i

COUNT ToLsToY, the late Russian
Minister of Public Instruction, tried to
establish stupendous and all-pervasive
system of espionage. He privately di-
rected teachers and professors through
out the country to watch their scholars,
and these were encouraged to watch
their fathers, mothers and friends. But
this attempt aroused such indignation
throughout the empire that the Gar
deemed it prudent to relieve the Count
from his duties.

A special Cincinnati Gazette, dated

the action of the university students

ceiye. Lake was summoned, and the Mayor
adjudged the mill nuisance, ordered the
engine and boiler repaired, safety walls
to be built, spark catchers applied to the
chimneys, and directed the City Marshall
to see to the execution of the Judgment.
The appeal of Lake from that Judgment
was dismissed by the Circuit Court, and ms
motion to dismiss the case denied; hence
this writ of error. The charter granted
the right to appeal in the language quoted
in the opinion.

error;
Reuben Davis for defendant in error.
CAMPBELL, j.,
Held-
1. The plaintiff in error was entitled to
an appeal TO the Circuit Court from the
''tinal Judgment or sentence of the Mayor"
in the "caIlse or prosecution" by whlch MS
business was condemned as II nuisance !;
and his appeal was improperly dismissed
by the Circuit Court.
2. While the charter confers the power
on the municipal authorities of the city to
pass ordinances on the subject of nuisances,
It does not confer the right to declare that
a particular structure or business, not con-
demned by any law or ordinance, is II nul,
sance, and to have the structure removed
or the business stopped or interfered with.
Such power is not to be tolerated. 1T
would place call the property Of the city at
the IIncontrOlIed will of the temporary
local authorities"
3. There must be law applicable to the
subject, and it must be legally tried ana
determined whether the law has been vio-
lated. If the city of Aberdeen has an or
dinance applicable to the case set forth in
the petition, and the proceeding was under
such ordinance, it should have been made
to appear so. .,.

1. We think that the Chancellor was In
error. Section two Of the Act in question
provides that all persons convicted ana
Committed to the jail for contempt of the
Court, and those sentenced to the Peniten-
tiary shall be delivered to the Contractor
to be kept and worked under the provisions
of the Act. Mccarthy was convicted and
committed to the Jail of the county, and
is not within the exceptions named, and
ought therefore under the provisions above
quoted be delivered to the contractor,
unless there is some other provision OF the
Act to the contrary.
9, Ii is claimed that the contrary provis-
ion is found in section of the Act where
il il provided that "whoncver said convict
shall be sentenced to Jail as part OF ms
punishment, he shall first serve out said
term, and shall then commence to work TO
pay said fine and costs" This language
cannot have the effect contcnded for, be-
cause by the I'd section above quoted all
persons convicted and committed to the
jall of the county are to be delivered to the
contractor. In other words, the contractor
is substituted for the jailOr in all cases
of convictions and committals to the jail OF
the county, with the exceptions before
mentioned.
8. The object of the language above
quoted from section 4, is merely to fix the
date tor the commencement of the labor of
the prisoner which is to be applied to the
fine and costs in cases where Imprisonment
in made part of the punishment.
4. The imprisonment for the fine and
costs, imposed by said Act, was intended
solely to secure their payment, and when
ever these are paid, the prisoner is entitled
to be discharged, provided the term for
which he has been imprisoned as part of
the punishment has expired.

Appeal from the Judgment of Hon. Thos.
Y. Barry, Chancellor.
Appellant is the contractor for keeping
the prisoners in Claiborne county, under
the provisions of an Act to reduce the
Judiciary expenses Of the State, approved
March 5th, 1873. (ScssiOn laws, =. lG4.)
One Daniel Mccarthy was convicted in the
Circuit Court Of said county Of a misde-
meanor and sentenced to imprisonment in
the county jail for six months and pay a
fine Of $3.50 90 and to stand committed till
the fine and costs were paid.
Immediately after the adjournment Of the
Court, the said contractor demanded the
custody Of Mccarthy from appellee, Cthe
sheriff Of the county, This demand was
refused, aud thereupon the contractor sued
out a writ Of kabsas eorPus to obtain the
custody Of the prisoner.
The sheriff resisted the petition upon
the ground that he was entitled to the Gus
tOdy Of aid prisoner until the expiration.
Of the six months imprisonment.
Chancellor Barry, before whom the writ
was made retunable, decided that the
