Apparently as much interest is taken

Apparently as much interest is taken
in national statistics in Germany and
France as in this country, which is the
paradise of the statistician. 1t is not
strange, considering their past histories
and rivalries, that the statistics of
France and Germany should be a mat
ter of q, good deal of interest in those
countries and be the subjects of COM
paFison by the newspapers. The sta
tislics of population for 1873 have re
Gently been made public and are now
being paraded in the journals of both
countries. 1t is rather difficult mat
ter for the French to find any thing
cheering in them. They show that Ger
many had 80 births for each 1000 in
habitants, while France had only %.
Germany had a surplus of 100000
births, or Y for each 1000, and France
a surplus of over $4,000, or 4 for each
1000. There was a marked decrease
in F. ance in the number of marriage
ard the number of births between 1864
and 1873. Should the ratio of increase
continue in Germany's favor for any
length of time it would have a very
marked effect upon French influence.

At this particular bird store there are
some fine members of the parrot family,

mates and occupy the same cage, but
are not always as amicable as the sur
rounding neighborhood might desire.
1t was the fate Of the writer of this article

The eerie tone in which all this is de-
iivered chills the blood Of one who is
unaccUstOmed TO parrot lore, but those
who are familiar with the bird as a pet
recognize many excellent qualities and
a loyable, tractable disposition in it.
Another quaint bird is the raven. AT
the same bird store, on Woodward
Avenue, where the macaws flourish, is
a pair of dOmesticated ravens as black
as midnight, and with the bright, wicked
eye peculiar to this Uncanny bird. They
are not kept in cages but live in the
back yard, where they hop-pOp along
with their black wings trailing on the
earth and giving one the impression
that they might at any moment scream,
"Pm devil, I'm a devil" like the
raven of Barnabv Rudge." Jack and
Jill do not talk much, but chatter good
deal. They discovered where a valua-
bic Bantam hen laid her eggs under the
house and devoured the lot Give them
something to eat when they are not
hungry and they will hold a short con-
sultation; they then will hop away to a
corner of the yard and lay it snugly
there; Jill viii 90 off alone, while Jack
keeps watch, and soon she will return
with piece of paper or a bit of cloth,
which they will spread over their treas
ure, and Jack will next 90 and return
with a stone, which they will use as a
weight to keep all safe and snug. Any
stray cat or dog who :" smells a mice"
in that corner will be driven away tooth
and nail. These birds are the terror of
rag-pickers and Migrants, who believe
them to be agents of the evil one, and
certainly it requires strong men to face
the black, evil-eyed hoppers, who re-
gard you with their sleek heads on one
side and a wickedly knowing wink, and
wish you ''good-day'' in the English
tongue. They are birds of prey, and
kill every luckless chicken that comes
in their way and are kept distinctly
separate from the other birds. They
are familiar with the butchers boy and
can pick out beefsteak from any other
meat, that being their favorite food.
They have the digestion of an ostrich,
and eat all the little things they can
pick up, and are eternally busy about
their little domain. 1t is hard to imagine
them ever asleep or at rest. These birds
are from England, where the raven is a
great pet. Jack and Jill are valued at
$50 for the pair.-Dct,01 Post and Tri5-

A WASHINGTON correspondent Of the
Cleveland Plaindealer says there is little
yet to indicate who the choice of the Gin
cinnati Convention will be, and there is
no candidate who has been mentioned in
connection with the Presidency on the
Democratic side, that can boast of a sufi-
cient lead in the race so far to bring him
out ahead. The delegates chosen are
badly divided up, and it is certain that
no one can be nominated on the first bal
lot until o number Of "~favorite sons"
have been eliminated. There are no con-
tentions nor wranglings, however, and no
rows being stored up like those which
threaten the Republican party with vio-
lent dissolution. 1t is not likely that
when the delegates are all chosen there
will be much to indicate who will likely
be the nominee; but it is certain that,
whoever he may be, he will be the choice
Of the Convention and Of the party, and
not Of . faction.

BELMONT ITEMS.


Notes Clipped from the Courier Of
Last Saturday.
The gardens In Belmont are all looking
green.
They are still finding some very Ane ore
in the Belmont mine.
The whopping cough seems to have en-
tirely disappeared from our midst.
Game is plentiful in this section at pres
emit, but the pot hunter is afraid to shoot.
Roses are q rarity in this section, yet, by
proper care, they can be coaxed to bloom.
Work is being pushed vigorously ahead
in the Barcelona tunnel with fattering
results.
The indications are excellent for soon
striking an ore body in the Idlewild mine
at Jet.
The. grass in the Toiyabe canyons and
along Reese River il growing rapidly, and
the stockman is happy once more.
The Democrats Of this town are all we'll
pleased with the nominations made by the
late Democratic State Convention at Win
nemucca.
A party OF surveyors are busy surveying
the line Of the proposed railroad from
Wadsworth to Collville. The road will
through southern Nye county.
At Robert spence's saloon can be seen q
large specimen Of rich chloride ore which
was extracted from the new find in the
Brooklyn mine Of Grantsville. 1t Ia by
far the largest and best specimen ever
brought from that camp to Belmont.

he concealed himself. Woodraugh stood
quietly under a gas lamp, with his revolver
in o position to fire again, when he was dis
armed and seized by the police. He went
quietly along with the officers. At the sta
tion-house he has persistently refused to
say anything in regard to the shooting.
Holland is very seriously wounded In the
groin, but IL Is not known whether there is
o chance Of his recovery. He has said sew
eral times recently, that the ring was de-
termined to assassinate him before the
meeting of the Democratic National Con-
v~ention, but he would stand his ground ;
that there would be men at the Convention
who would not like to see him, and he
would have something to tell that they
would not like to hear. Republicans say
tonight that his assassination Is directly
connected with his political work for Til
den and the Democratic party in 1876.
The affair has caused much excitement
upon the streets.
RICHMOND, June ga duel took place
yesterday morning between W. E. Elan,

ernor among others, and duplicating his
son. Warrants are out for the arrest Of
