down, and many persons who had entered
into contracts with him broke them on
some pretext or other, and the material
was thrown upon his hands.
A SPECIAL from Las'Vegas, of the .Sth, is
to.the effect that Miguel A. Otero, vice
president Of the New Mexico and Southern
Pacific railroad, has received what seems
reliable information that the Navajoes and
Utes had a powwow near TERRA Amielo,
in Rio Ariba county, in this territory, and
it was understood that the result Of the
council was to make war in common against
the whites. If true, this is the most i'm
portant information, and troops in large
numbers should at once be poured into the
Navajo reservation and the Ute country.
Although Col. Geo. P. Buell., with four
companies of the 10th infantry, and some
other troops, is now on the march to Fort
Wingate, which is almost in the centre of
the Navajo reservation, still his force is
entirely too small to prevent an outbreak.
The Navajoes are rich in horses, cattle, and
sheep, and could place at least six hundred
well-mounted and armed warriors in the
field

SOME of the Canadian papers are i'll
olined to criticize the snail-like pace
with which the Canadian Pacific rail
way is being constructed, and to con-
trast it with the speed at which similar
works are pushed in the United States.
Certainly considering the millions that
have been expended and the years that
have been wasted a stretch Of about
$50 miles: of track operated only by con-
struction trains is not fattering show
ing. There seems, however, to have
been new energy infused into the Cana
dian government, as work is now &C
lively in progress on a section of two
hundred miles Of line from Winnipeg
west, with a prospect of having it open
ed this year. Meantime work is slowly
being pushed on the line from Thunder
Bay to Winnipeg, though some two
years seem likely to be required for its
completion.

IT is said that American beef and
mutton are cheaper and better in
London, Liverpool, ane Glasgow than
they are here. This surely ought not to
be. 1t is very we'll to send an excellent
quality of meat to foreign markets, but
home consumers should not be de-
frauded thereby. Several causes Of the
inferiority of our meat has been men,
toned: it is said that the best animals in
our livestock yards are exported to
Europe, and the second quality shipped
to Cuba, and home consumers have to
put up with what is left. However this
may be, there is no doubt but that there
is a great difference in flesh of animals
which have been hurried from distant
places and driven directly to slaughter,
and that of those which are first rested
and fattened.

Sense Like a Horse.

A man armed with an army gun and
a butcher knife went into South Ar

and remarked to a man sitting at u
table:

"On very particular business, sir?'
''No, not very. I simply wanted to
kill him for publishing an article about
me last week"
"Is your other business so pressing
that you have to kill him this week."
eff it is any accommodation can wait
few days."
II wish you would, for I sold him a
calf some time ago, and he owes me
five dollars on it. If you kill him now
Ill never get my money"
"But you could take the calf back and
make what has already been paid clear
of all expenses"
"That's fact said the proprietor,
musing, "I'll send boy after him. No:
that would be taking advantage of him,
and he may not like it. Call around
next week and I'll have him here"
The man left, and the newspaper man
remarked to himself: $50 much for
disobeying my wife. She told me not
to forget my pistol. If I hadn't played
proprietor that fellow would have shot
me with that old Yankee gun. 1
wouldn't be found dead shot with such Il
gun. Next week, just about the time
I'm busy, this fellow will come around
again with his stalwart field-piece. If
he'd only come with an Arkansas pis-
tol would not mind it, but it would be
an eternal disgrace to be killed with
such a gun. After this [ shall obey

THE present census will taken un-be
der system which will secure great
er variety of information concerning
the population, industries, and re-
sources of the country than that furnish
ed by any previous census. The statis-
tics to be obtained, for instance, involve
minute inquiries concerning all cor
porations, to which their officers are re-
CURED by law to make full answers; and
we shall therefore obtain new and i'm
portant fund Of information relating
to railroad, telegraph, express, insur-
ance, and other companies. The vital
statistics Of the country will also be
gathered with q completeness never be-
for attained; and the preliminary work
already done by the census bureau in
the preparation of blanks for these pur-
poses, in correspondence, and in the
organization Of special branches of in
quiry, has been on an enormous scale.
Besides his regular army of subordin-
ates, Gen. Walker. the superintendent
Of the census, has the aid of experts in
various occupations, who will procure
statistics relating to labor and labor
saving machines, to manufactures,
mining, agriculture. and mortality
But the statistics which will have the
most immediate popular interest are
those relating to the growth of the
population of the country as whole,
and of the different states and cities
and smaller communities. The census
of 1870 gave the population of the
Omitted States as 38,55S,371. The esti-
mates for this year put it at 100000
Or thereabouts. We may pretty safely
assume that the tenth census of the
United States will show the population
of the country to be about 100000,
against Y, 100000 for Russia, 1921, 900
for Germany, 36,900,00o for France, 3d.
100000 for Great Britain and Ireland,
without the dependencies, 81, 100000
for Austria, and 27,76O,00O for Italy.
These figures are those of the last cen
suses, which were taken between 1876
and 1878, with the exception of that of
Russia, which was taken in 1870.

Increase Of Divorce in New England.
New York Times

DR.. Nathan Allen, who writes in the
June number of the North american
RerieW, is greatly troubled over the in
crease in business in the divorce de-
partment of New England In the
eighteen years between 1860 and 1878,
7 ,233 divorces were obtained in Massa-
chusetts, 2,775 in Vermont, 1881 in
Connecticut, and during the last ten
years, 1866 in Rhode Island The pro-
portion of divorces to the whole num-
Der of marriages has steadily increased
in all these states. The average of di-
vorces in Vermont to the whole num-
Der Of marriages during the five years
between 1860 and 1865 was l to %; be-
tween 1873 and 1873 it was l to Is; in
Connecticut during the first five Years
it was l to Is; during the last five years
it was to 10; in Massachusetts during
the first five years it was 1 to so; during
the last five years it was 1 to %. The
increase in the two former has been
nearly one third, while in Massachu-
sets it has nearly doubled The writer
regards this unfortunate feature of our
old idea of the religious sanctity of mar
riage. It is now held as little more

ship formed to last during the convent
ence or inclination of the parties. An
other cause is the growing dislike of the
American stock to the raising of large
families; and still another is the relative
decrease in the number of marriages
owing to extravagant ways of living in
to which this generation has fallen.
Men feel that they cannot afford to
marry nowadays, and so they remain
single. There is this, however, to be
said, that the grounds on which divorce
is now granted in New England have in
creased in the last forty years from two
to eight. Formerly they were only de-
sertion and adultery; now, in Massachu-
setts, for instance, they are desertion,
adultery, habitual intoxication, cruelty,
abusive treatment, neglect to support,
imprisonment and impotency. It is a
matter of course that the number of d.
vorces would increase under such cir
cumstances. Still there is occasion for
concern over the facts which Mr.. Allen
presents

The lines of the Pennsylvania rail
road company, east of Pittsburg and
Erie show, for the first four months of
1880, an increase in gross earnings of
$2,48O, 1925, and IN net earnings of$1 1894,
81, over the same period in 1879. The
lines west of Pittsburg and Erie show
an increase in net surplus of 81, 25S,671.
This is very satisfactory.
