The Census.

1t is estimated that at least three years will
be required to complete the entire compilation
of the census. Within the past few days
large number of persons of 10th sexes have re-
ceived appointments in the census office at
Washington, and many more are yet to be aR-
pointed. The pressure brought upon General
Walker for place has been tremendous, but few
Of the more recent appointed receive more than
5000 per year. The demand for office was SO
great that General Walker found that he could
get competent clerks at $40, $3.50 and even for
$500 per year. The annex to the census office
building put up to accommodate the clerical
force, will be completed in few days, and then
the Office viii he thoroughly organized. 1t Will
be some time before Commissioner Walker viii
be ready to issue special figures of population
etc. After the first review and computation is
made it is subjected to two reyisions, and until
such revisiens ale made, the data are not con-
sidered accurate

That the manufacture Of linen il the past has
been one of the most remuneratve and success
ful industries Of Great Britain is shown from
the fact that nearly all of those now engaged in
it have acquired ample fortunes, and many who
commenced business on single oId-time hand
loom, are now men of wealth and affiuence,
owning and running spinning mills, some of
which afford employment to over 5000 hands in
one single establishment. and but few being
operated with less number than 500. One has
onlyto look to Dundee in Scotland to gain an
idea Of the extent of linen manufactures and
the wealth Of its producers

An outrage in Ireland.

On the 18th INSTANT, FULLY a hundred men
boarded the Norwegian ship Juno at Queens
town, seized the captain and revenue officers and
captured forty-seven muskets. The crew of the
Juno were battened down in the forecastle and
armed sentries placed over them. The captain
would have fired upon the sentry guarding the
cabin door, but for the entreaty of his wife,
who feared they would be killed. 1t is suppos-
ed that one of the party fell in the hold, thus
putting on end to further operations, marks of
blood being traceable. Twenty men kept guard
on the road to assist in carrying off the spoil.

sumption OF that name by stranger. The right
to the exclusive use of name in connection

law; and any person using that name, after a
relative right Of this description has been ac-

Two new hospitals for the insane have been
opened IN Massachusetts within three years

months In the same period the state patients
have increased only from 1874 to 900 and the
private patients supported at their own cost from
238 to 2S6. From these figures the Springfield
htpHolcdn argues that the building of the fine
new hospitals for The insane has attracted pa
tents from other states of the union to Massa-
chusetts. Now the Danvers reservoir is full
and has been for six months: the Worcester
reservoir Is nearly full, and so the apparent in

act on each other in this as in other things.

with sufficient speed ana steadiness to produce
a good light. Up to this time none could be
found. and the desired revolutions have been
made up IN manipulation of betting. This
has proved decidedly unsatisfactory. because
the belts make tue light unsteady. and therefore
