ANEcDoFE OF DR.. GANNET.

Rev. DIR. Gaanet, whom the Unitarians
of Boston revered as next to Charming in
saintliness and purity of soul. was an I'M
failing attendant upon religious meeting
held by few friends. With his usual
devotion to good things and forgetfulness
of self, he set out at the regular hour on
the day of the terrible snow. storm of 1868,
which blockaded the streets of the Hub,
and in which several persons lost their
lives while attempting to leave the city
for suburban homes. The Doctor, who
was as Lilliputian in frame as giant in
soul, struggled on through the deserted
streets, encountering greater and greater
difficulties, until at last, overcome with
cold and fatigue, he stumbled and fell in
an immense snow drift, where he lay help
less and in imminent peril OF his life. At
this critical juncture an enormous truck
man, battling his way along, fortunately
entered the street, and catching sight of
the Doctor, waded into the drift, picked
him up, and fighting out again, shook the
snow from his burden, and without the
slightest idea who he was, laid him on the
first doorstep they could reach. Stand
ing over him, he gazed down as big dog
might at u little one, and softening his
tones into mingled pity and copgratulation,
he exclaimed, "Why. you mizable little
cripple you, if 1t hadn't a been for me
you'd "a been in - IN half an hoar!"

NEW CONGRESSIONAL ApPoRr1oNmENr

The official report of the appoFtionment
under the tenth census of the United States
has Just been received. We make extracts.
The total population is as follows:
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-02-18
JOG, 9S2+ * 551=110, $50.
106. 800 Ok SILL, 4S9.
LOT, ISL 41S3< 551=lI6, 500.

Alabama's fraction becomes ITO, $50. while
that of Illinois becomes 116, 500, and that of
Texas Ill, 4S9.
Consequently, in the assignment of ad-
ditional Representatives upon fractions, ac-
cording to the total number of 500, Illinois
and Texas receive an additional Representa-
tive each. while Alabama loses that which
she gained at 299 At Sol, however, she re-
gains what was thus lost. her fraction rising
to ia, 66S, which is sufficient to entitle her
to the Representative, whose addition to the
previous number makes the House consist of
Sol, instead of 800 members.
Trusting that this explanation will answer
your purposes, I remain. truly yours.

CALIFORNIA; final number of Representa-
tives On the last statement, 6.
Concerning the Alabama paradox, General
Walker says in letter to Mr. Cox, and
which is printed by order CT the House
Dear sir: L have your card, requesting
me to explain more in detail the peculiar
feature of the apportionment tables SUBJ
mitted to you this morning, by which it APP
pears that Alabama gains Representative
on the basis of 299 members, increasing from
to members at that point, but loses at
$780, falling back at that point to members.
In reply would say that this result is to be
explained as follows:
In increasing the number of Representa-
tives, as shown in the table sent you, the
number of inhabitants required to Repre-
sentative is diminished at each such increase
of members by between five and six hundred.
Now, in dividing by the number so reduced
the population of State having compare
tive small population, the influence upon It's
inexperienced fraction is very much less.
necessarily, than in the case of State hav.
ing large population. Thus, for example,
if we assumed for convenience that the num-
Der of inhabitants required for Represent
ative were 160,00 State having 4, sol, 600
inhabitants would receive 80 Representatives,
with an unrepresented fraction of 1000
while State having a population of 161, 600
inhabitants would receive Representative,
with an equal unrepresented fraction.

A MIRAcLE.-An alleged miracle at
Calais, Maine, is exciting a good deal of
interest in that region. The particulars
as related by John Robinson, man of
more than ordinary intelligence, are as fol-
lows: My little girl of eight years old
suffered every hour, night and day, with
St. Vitus' dance, so that she had to be
watched constantly to prevent her falling
on the stove or dishes. The physicians
attending her said she must be sent to
the hospital at Augusta. related the
case to an old man whom l happened to
meet, and told him how badly I felt at
sending her away. He said she could be
entirely cured in nine days, and that was
a lucky man in having the means to cure
in my own home. He told me to stand my
donkey with his head to the south, then
sit the child on its back with her face to
the east, and then to pass her over the
donkey's back toward the west, saying,
In the name of the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost Following his Instructions,
/ did this for nine mornings before break
fast. On the third morning the child be-
gan to improve and the donkey to take
the disease From that time to the end
of nine days the child rapidly grew better
and the donkey to grow worse, until it
died on Monday after great suffering.
The child is now perfectly restored. The
neighbors are witnesses to these facts.
CRIME IN THE UNITED STATES. The
Secretary of the British Howard Associa-
tion argues in The London Record that the
great increase of crime in the United
States may partly be attributed to too
lax and too indulgent prison system. The
Americans, he says, are very "smart "
people in many ways, but they are not at
all smart" in their prison discipline
They are penny wise and pound foolish, F"
inasmuch as, for the sake of apparent and
immediate profit, they crowd their prison
ers together in corrupting association in
jail workshops, and allow them more
abundant and more luxurious food than
many honest toilers get, and purchase
many thousand novels for the prisoners to
beguile their leisure hours whereas the
nation would be. able to avoid half or
three.fourths of the frequently excessive
long terms OF imprisonment, and more
than half of the recommittals, by the adop-
tion of rigorous system of short-term
cellular imprisonment. This should be
neither solitary nor idle. The prisoners
should have free intercourse with good
visitors and instructors, but no intercourse
with other criminals. Their occupation,
exercise and reading should also be well
secured. This would shortly prove to be
a far more humane and also far more de-
terrent system than the present one, and
far less costly one, by the consequent great
diminution of crime.

Rat-Klllinu Extraordinary.

The most extraordinary rat killing
match probably ever witnessed in thiscity
occurred in the rear of the Eighth district
police station recently. There is slaugh-
ter house adjoining it on the east. The,
rats had burrowed beneath the sidewalk
from the slaughter house into the cellar of
the station and thence found their way
into the building, defying the able-bodied
tom.cats and boldly invading the lodging
rooms and nibbling the toes of the slum-
berers. The butcher, whose establishment
was the banqueting hall for the rodents
decided to dig up his pavement, fill up the
rat holes and repave. When the lars
were uncovered and the subteranean pas
'sages, in numbers sufficiently labyrinthean
to satisfy dozen Sylvanus Cobbs, were
opened up, stream cf rats poured forth.
The butcher, with the quickness of terri
cri snatched rat after rat as they ran from
the holes and dashed them against the
brick wall. He continued this lightning
work until he had killed 1856 in less than an
hour. He did not receive wound while
destroying the pests. Some Of the police
men who witnessed the slaughter offered
to match the slayer to kill rats at an exhi-
oition. Philadelphia Times

A Good Dog.

This morning, about o'clock, Mr.. A
Priestly, of I'LL Spring Garden street, was
awakened from a sound sleep by his young
Newfoundland dog, who occupied the
same chamber with himself. The dog
aroused his master by leapiug on the bed
and paving his face. Upon being fully
aroused MIR. Priestly discovered, to his
great alarm, that his house was on fire and
that his sleeping apartment was filled with
suffocating smoke.
Hastily escaping from his perious posi-
tion, carrying his faithful and intelligent
friend with him, he gave the alarm, and
with the aid of the fire department, the
flames, which had originated in the kitchen
we're speedily extinguished, with probable
loss of $1,000.
Mr.. Priestly's family is out of the city,
and he is confident that but for the warn
ing given by the dog he would have been
snffocated The animal was so much over
come by the smoke as to be unable to stand
when carried into the yard. The friends
of intelligent brutes will be pleased to learn
that lie is in fair way of recovery, and
sthe intelligence displayed by him will no
doubt again start the question whether it
was instinct or reason prompted his actions.
