The Excess of Femininitv-

How TO get the excAs sof shirts upon
shirtless backs is a sort OF typioai
problem in political economy. In
this entire country there are mere
males than females. but the latter,
like all other gifts of heaven, ale
distributed very uneeually. Their
number. to 100000 males, is SO. 419
against 81 ,SO1 in 1870. In seventeen
States they outnumber the males.

haps, some other underlined thing,
draw them to the Capital, where
they are relatively more numerous
than 10 1870. Eight of these seven
teen are among the once slave States.
Next TO the District, Rhode Island
stands st the head in respect to ex-
cess of femininity, slightly leading
even Massachusetts, and in each the
excess of females hes increased during
the decade. Connecticut, North Caro-
lima, New Hampshire, South Caro-
lima, New York. Virginia and Ala
bama stand next, and these ten make
the group where the females are as
1921 to 116 or more per 100 males.
In eight States females are 90 to ga.
and one OF these is Utah, where there
has been a considerable decrease of
females; in six, all OF them far

class OF Mexican settlers, and Utah is
an exception. Nineteen States and
Territories where males we're in ex-
cess in 1870 hsve increased their pro-
portion of females, and sixteen where
males were in excess show a larger
excess OF males now; ten where
females were in excess show al in

A Mistake.

Don't try TO give large party if yon

are special nuisance, a failure. and
"a mistake" Why should we be driven

home. and neither our wife, sons, or
even daughters (who are apt 20 be free
with paternities), think that we ought
to doso. Why are we to be condemned
70 play whist for five hours, because
our hostess does not know what else to
set us down to? But our girls seem to
enjOyit. Neither Flora, nor Bessy, nor
Emily, appear TO mind dancing, al
though their faces are more than pink.
There is scarcely breathing room-and
90 we put up with it for their sakes
and when our wife thanks our hostess
on parting, and says what a delightful
evening we have had, we try to believe
so but next day, when a lady friend

Old Slaves Returning to Africa.

NeN Ork lines
The Spanish bark Triunfo, which is
now loading for the Canary Islands, at
Pier No. 19, East river, has on board
twenty-seven persons, who took pas
sage at Havana few weeks ago. The
most Of these are natives of the Canary
Islands, who are returning to their
homes. There are on board three ne
groes and three negresses, who were
taken from Africa in the days of slave
trading, and brought to Cuba. One of
them, grayhaired old man, named
Miguel, VINO wears gold earrings,
bought his freedom for S400, about ten
years ago, and has since been saving
money to enable him to return to his
early nome. and pass the remainder of
his days there. One of the negresses
is about forty years old, and is the
mother of sixteen children, who are
now living in Cuba. She was sold as a
slave when only three years old. The
old man who bought his liberty is very
old, but cannot tell his age. Nearly all
the Canary Islanders emigrated to
Cuba in the hope of making fortunes,
but are now returning almost pennils sss.
One old woman Is broken down IN
health and was removed to the hospi-
tai here on Wednesday. She does not
know her own age, but the doctors
think she is nearly 80. There are
hardly any chances of her reaching
home again. The Triunfo will sail for
the Canary Islands in few days

A PecnliaritY Of the Nevada Moon.
Virginia tNev.l Enterprise.


For several nights past the moon has
presented a peculiar appearance.
There has been the appearance of
mock moon partially overlapping the
true moon, now IN crescent shape. The
upper horns are joined, while the
lower ones stand apart, making fork,
This curious appearance was first OBJ
served five nights ago by Will Thomas,
watchman at the c. and c. shaft. He
called the attention of the miners
coming off shift to the moon, asking
them if they saw anything peculiar
about it. After taking look, the first
thing each man did was to rub his eyes
and consider within himself whether
or not he had at any time within the
last week taken too many glasses of
beer, for he seemed to be seeing double.
There is no. only the partial double
ness. but peculiar bright mist or haze
close In about the moon that adds to
the perplexity of the observer. Many
persons (among those who are astir at
a sufficiently late hour have been OBJ
serving this strange appearance of the
moon for several nights. An amateur
astronomer, who has been watching for
two nights, gives it as his opinion that

Beverages for the Heated.


What is the best drink IN warm
weather. said reporter to an official
at the Chambers street hospital the
other day, "Cold water" he replied;
!" but not ice cold. Ice water ehills the
stomach and so ultimately injuries the
power of digestion. One of the best
drinks in the world for hot weather is
buttermilk with a little ginger in it. l
know people don't like it excessively,
but it is valuable for all that. If some
of the high livers who suffer so severe
ly at times would live on nothing for a
week but brown bread and butter-milk.
they would feel like fighting cocks.
Another excellent drink, and which
bricklayers use great deal. is the old
fashioned drink which the farmers use
in the hay-feld-water with ginger and
molasses in it. 1t cools the system
and opens the pores sufficiently for a
comfortable perspiration.
