A Washington dispatch says: "Grand-
ma Garfield, as everyone has begun call
ing her, had little reception all to her
self in the blue room. 1t was almost
pathetic to see this tiny little woman en-
ter, the almost centenarian mother of so
stalwart son. She is 83 years of age.
She was dressed in plain black silk,
gathered all round (for the little old lady
is very decided in her tastes and opinions
and objects to innovations), little white
lace about her neck, and fresh cap with
lavender ribbons on her head. She re-
ceived the guests sitting, and her feet
hardly touched the floor. Her face is
strong and homely, but lighted with keen
eyes and an almost shrewd intelligence.
Her profile is quite regular. Some one
remarked 1T must be happy moment
for you, Mrs. Garfield, to see your sou SO
honored.' Yes she replied, with sim
pie earnestness, i always was proud of
James.

A BLOW TO THE FRUIT TRADE.

The ravages of parasite on orange and
lemon trees are attracting much attention
in Italy and the West Indies, and have
begun to create alarm in Florida, Louisi-
ana and California. J. III. Bostwick, In
spector of Customs, who has charge of the
fruit department of the New York Gus
tom House, is taking great interest in the
matter, and has some specimens from car
goes of oranges the rinds of which are
covered with incrustations of these par
asites. The matter is a serious one, for
vast numbers of trees are ruined by these
insects. Mr.. Bostwick says that the
Italian Government has offered a prize
of 100000 francs for an effectual remedy
for the pest, and that a wealthy Italian
has added 100000 francs to the offer on
his own account. He says that thirty
years ago he stopped the ravages of a
similar pest by Washing the trunks and
large limbs of fruit trees with soap and
sharp sand. If the trouble continues to
increase as it is doing now, the importa-
tions of fruit from Italy and the West
Indies will be much reduced, and there
will be heavy losses in the orange groves
of Florida, Louisiana and California.
The value of the fruit imports at this
port in 1880 was $4, 19S,737, the duty on
which was $746, ,021.-NesoY York Tribune

A CUNNING CAT.

A gentleman who took trip into the
country yesterday, when on the plains,
a mile from any house, noticed cat, a
huge one, almost as large as a fair-sized
dog 1t was lying upon the ground, its
feet uppermost, in such a way that he
had no doubt that it had fallen victim to
some vicious dog. Around it, feeding
unsuspectingly, was a flock of small
birds. The apparently lifeless cat was
within range Of the vision of the observer
for some time, and just as he was think
ing how much easier it would be for the
animal to feign death and catch bird by
deceiving it than by slipping up to it,
he was astonished to see the cat sudden
ly roll over and grab one of the feathered
tribe that was very near. The other
birds flew away hundred yards or so
and alighted. The cat only made one or
two mouthfuls of the game, and then
crept around to the windward of the
birds, laid itself out again, and once
more played successfully the dead dodge.
The gentleman drove away without see
ing how many birds it took TO satisfy the
feline.-Carson Appeal.

RICH SENATOR'S.

I believe that the day will come when
the majority of the United States Senate
will be millionaires, and will hold their
seats by virtue of the fact that they are
millionaires. As [ run my eyes over the
list of Senators who will compose the
Senate arter March 4, 1881, | pick out
nearly twenty Senators, each of whom is
worth more than $500,000. The richest
man in the Senate, of course will be Fair,
of Nevada, who is worth a great many
millions. Probably he is worth as much
as all the other Senators together. Next
to him in estate, | suppose, is David
Davis, of Illinois, a man who has the re-
putation of having gathered millions.
Next to him it might be hard to name the
Senator, but, if Mr.. Eugene Hale can be
called the possessor of Zach Chambers
millions, then he is very likely to be
third richest Senator. The new Senators
will be conspicuous for their wealth.
Miller, of California; Malone, of Vir-
ginia, and Sawyer of Wisconsin, are
known to be worth more than 81 100000
apiece. Sewell, of New Jersey, is rail-
road man, and is reputed very wealthy.
John Sherman, who is scarcely new
Senator, gets the credit of having more
than $1,OOO,OOO. Among the present
Senators who hold over, and who write
their fortunes with seven figures, are:
Blaine, of Maine: Cameron, of Pennsyl-
vania; Davis, of West Virginia, and
Plumb, of Kansas. The following are
known to be worth more than $500,
Hill, of Colorado; Brown, OF Georgia;
Groome, of Maryland; Mcpherson, of
New Jersey, and Pendleton, of Ohio.
Van Wyck, the new man from Nebraska,
must be rich, for he is reputed to have
paid $4,000 for his election. Many of
the other Senators are comfortable"
Among those not already mentioned who
possess at least 100000 apiece are Nor
rill of Vermont; Anthony, Of Rhode
Island; Conkling, of New York: Rollins
of New Hampshire; Jones, of Nevada
(most of the time); Saunders, of Neb-
raska; Window, of Minnesota; Ferry of
Michigan; Kellogg, of Chicago Louisi-
ana); Allison, of Iowa; Harrison, of In
diana, and Bayard, of Delaware. These
names make up more than one-half the
Senate, and they show that riches and
senatorships go together Washington

AMERICAN PORK.

WAsHINGToN, March 9.-Secretary
Blaine to-day addressed note to the
British Legation on the subject of false
reports sentsby the acting British consul
at Philadelphia, in regard to the preva-
lence of disease among swine of the
Western States. The Secretary reiterates
the statements made in Evarts' note of
the 7th of March that all means of in
formation at the recourse of the depart
ment concur in showing the late publish
ed reports as wholly without foundation,
and sends copies of resolutions of the
Merchants Exchange of ST. Louis, and
the Chamber of Commerce of Cincinatti
explicitly denying reports of the disease
among swine, and showing that the con-
dition of the stock in Ohio and Illinois is
exceptionally healthy. The statement of
Mr.. Crump IN regard to the prevalence
of the disease in Ohio is emphatically and
fully denied. The Secretary of State
sent also the subtance of communica-
ton received from the Secretary of the
Treasury conveying an explicit denial
of the report published in England, and
asking that the character and source of
information On which Crump's dispatch
was based be ascertained.
In answer to the British minister's
statement that the consul at Philadelphia
made his report upon what appeared to
be good authority, the Secretary of State
saws that all that this government can
learn after searching inquiry leads ire
sistibly to the conclusion that the good
faith of her Majesty's representative at
Philadelphia has been imposed upon by
designing spectators to their own selfish
interests and incalcuable injury to legiti-
mate commerce. The Secretary further
expresses his trust that the British minis
ter will concur with him in the opinion
that no steps can be too urgent or imper-
ative to overtake and contradict this false
statement, and that this government con-
fidently looks to her Majesty's legation
for an authoritative denial.

WHITE BUFFALOES.

White buffalo have frequently been
seen and killed. All the Indian tribes
regard them as "big medicine" but they
have different superstitions regarding
them. For instance, Catlin, the painter
while among the Mandans in 1882, saw
a white buffalo robe erected on pole
in their village as a sacrifice to the
Great Spirit. It had been purchased
from the Blackfeet, who killed the bufa-
10, for eight horses and a quantity of
goods. On the other hand the Com
anches believe it very dangerous to see
a white buffalo. In 1869 I saw young
Comanche who had seen white buffalo
return to his camp almost dead with fear
He was taken into his tent, the medicine
men were sent for, and they smoked him
and kept up incantations over him day
and night for a week. When he came
out he believed that he had a narrow
escape from death. In 1869 white
buffalo was killed by a white man on
the north fork of the Red River, Indian
Territory, and the hide presented to
General Grierson. He desired to have
it dressed to preserve it, but failed to
get any Indian to undertake the task for
long time At last he prevailed on a
Comanche chief named Horseback, to
have the operation performed. Horse
back selected one of his squaws, had the
"medicine men, of his band go through
various ceremonies over her to preserve
her life, and then placed her in teepee
some distance from his camp, where the
hide was taken to her by soldier and
brought away by him when dressed. No
other Indian would look at the hide,
much less touch it. Her food was left
at some distance from her teepee, and
when the robe was dressed, medicine"
ceremonies were held over her before she
was allowed to rejoin the camp. I twit-
ted Horseback" about the fear of the
robe, calling his attention to the tact that
no harm befell any of the white men who
handled the robe, but he answered that
such Nigh be the case, but what was
chad medicine" for a Conanche might
be "good medicine" for white man, and
vice versa He proposed to take no risks
in the matter, Naturalist.

THE CENSUS OF GERMANY.

The census of the German Empire was
taken in December last and the first
Summary of the returns was published
in our cable dispatches yesterday. The
aggregate population of the Empire is
now 1874, 172 souls, an increase since
1875 of 2,436, 100; or at the rate OF 81
per cent. for the intervening period OF
five years. This gives an annual rate
of increase of LA per cent, which is
perceptibly greater than the annual rate
of increase during the four years immedi-
ately following the war with France.
The population of the Empire at the
close of 1875, was 42,757,982, an increase
since 1871 of 1859, 100, which was at the
rate of 4.12 per cent. for four years, or
1.03 per annum. In 1871, after the war
with France was over, the population
stood at 41.05S,792, an increase since
1867 OF only 951, ,617, which was at the
rate of 2,32 per cent. for the four years,
or only 58 per cent. year Within the
limits now comprised in the German En-
pire, the population has almost doubled
since 1916, when the aggregate stood at
%, 3,103,111. While it will thus take
Germany about seventy years to double
her population, England and Wales
doubled theirs in the years intervening
between 1901 and 1851, and at the annu-
al rate of increase prevailing during the
ten years preceding 1871, would 60 On
doubling every fifty-six years. The pop
ulation ofthe United States has risen

A MUCH MARRIED MAN.

The new Secretary of the Navy, Mr..
Hunt, has been a much married man.
His fist wife now dead) was Miss
Andrews, of Massachusetts. His second
wife (also dead) was Baltimore lady and
daughter of Commodore of the United
States navy. His third wife was widow,
Mrs. Harrison, daughter of the late
Jacob Barker, and was some years the
senior of Mr.. Hunt. After three years
of union they agreed to separate, and she
was to 60 to Europe. While she was
there Hunt undoubtedly procured the
passage of divorce act by the Legisla-
ture of Louisiana adding a clause which
could embrace his case, and abridging
the time for DEGREES. Another Legisla-
ture repealed this, but while it was in
force he began divorce suit. Hunt in
stituted his suit during the absence of
his wife, who was represented according
to law practice by curator here, and
whose duty it was to inform her of the
suit. This proceeding is equivalent to
the New York practice of service of sum-
mons by publication. The curator ap-
pointed by the Court was Mr.. D. G.
Labatt. A decree was rendered against
her-the curator filing an answer for her,
and defending the suit as best he could
of absolute divorce. A year after this
Hunt married a. fourth time, widow
lady, a daughter Of Mr. Adams, of New
Orleans, who is his present wife. Mrs.
Harrison Hunt undoubtedly knew of the
Louisiana proceeding, but was advised
that it would be nullity, and that the
probabilities were that under the Republi-
can regime she would not obtain justice,
When he and his new wife, the fourth
Mrs. Hunt, came on their wedding tour
to New York, the third Mrs Hunt, by
John K. Porter, brought suit for divorce
alleging the relations of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hunt No. 4. Mrs. Harrison Hunt was
very resolute, as were her friends, who
thought, and still think, that Hunt had
taken unfair advantage. She took the
case up to the United States Supreme
Court, but every Court and Judge held
that under the Constitution, they must
give full force to the Louisiana decree

IRVING.

The Prince of Wales and Mr.. Gladstone
attend all Irving's first nights; the Poet
Laureate, when he has done hearing "the
magpies clatter garrulous under roof of

poses tragedy for the fashionable ira
gedian; the "bigwigs' at the British
Museum hunt up authorities for him
from the treasures in Great Russell
street. Poets and Roval-Academicians
iostle one another behind the scenes at
the Lyceum, and lounge in the actors
dressing-room, anxious to be connected
with:one or other of his triumphs; and, as
for the ladies, they squabble for his auto
graph and vie with one another for the
possession of Irving relics. Even the

WHERE AND OF WHAT WE DIE.

During 1880 sixty-eight cities of the
United States made weekly death reports
to the National Board of Health, and, in
its bulletin of Feb. 10, 1881, the board
aggregates and tabulates the contents of
these reports, exhibiting the results for
the year. From this table it appears
that Vallejo, Cal, was the healthiest
place reported in 1880, and Norfolk, Va,
the unhealthiest. The average life in
Vallejo was 1876 years, and only one per-
son in 1000 of population died of con-
sumption, while in Norfolk the average
life was only 27.6 years. and one person
in 2l4 of population died of consump-
ton. The aggregate population of these
sixty-eight cities is 7,359,937 the aver
age duration Of life in them was 44.5
years, aud there was one death from con-
sumption for every 326 of population, and
one death from acute disease of the lungs
for every 429 of population. In other
words, of every 200 deaths 24.4 were from
lung diseases, and of these IA were from
consumption and 10.4 from acute diseases
of the lungs. Four of the best cities for
health were Yonkers, N. Y, average life
20 years; Omaha, Neb., average 6S
years; Utica, N. Y, 67.5 years; Keokuk
Iowa, GIL years; and four of the worst
cities we're Jacksonville, Fla, 35 years;
Vicksburg, Miss, 34,S years; Charles
ton, S. O., 31.3 years, and Savannah,
Ga, 306 years. In Boston the average
life was 42.5 years, deaths by consump-
ton in 246, by acute lung disease in
1856 of population; in New York average
life 81 years, death by consumption in
254, and in acute lung disease in 260;
in Philadelphia life AIS years consump-
ton one in 314, acnte disease one in 844;
in Cincinnati life AIS, consumption 246,
acute disease 494; Louisville life 47.6,
CONSUMPTION 800, acute disease 410; In
dianapois life 47.8, consumption 447,
accute disease 381; Chicago life 4S, con-
sumption 593, acute disease 453; St.
Paul life 5S.5, consumption SCI, acute
disease, us; San Francisco life 51.8,
consumption 272, acute disease 469, New
Orleans life 41.3, consumption 256, acute
disease 584; st. Louis life 81, consump-
ton 449, acute disease $50. The differ
ence between New York and Philadel-
phia in the general death rate and in
that from consumption is great; in that
from acute lung disease it is striking
Next to lung diseases diarrhoeal disorders
cause the great number of deaths. In
every 100 deaths from all causes in the
sixty-eieht cities, ten are from diarrhoeal
disturbances, and there is one death
from this scource in every 456 inhabi-
tants.-C Cincinnati Commercial.

A balloon carrying an aeronaut and
eight passengers ascended from Nice on
the Mediterranean on Monday. 1t rose
to great height and was carried far out
to sea. The voyagers experienced a
heavy storm. 1t was pitch dark, and
while they were fumbling with the valves
the gas escaped and they came down with
run. The balloon was dashed against
the waves and carried along the surface
of the water for a mile. Three of the
passengers fell out of the car and were
drowned. The others succeeded in clos
ing the valves and the balloon rose and
landed.
