Interesting osusu, Figures,

The census bulletin shows the total
population of the United States at &c.
l62. 866, of which 4S, 404. 876 are white.
and 6s677, 151 colored. The number Of
colored persons to each 100. 600 whites
IL Is, 1853, against 1883 in 1870. The
greatest proportion Of colored to white
Is In South Carolina, where three-fifths
Of the whole are colored; in Louisiana
and Mississippi half to three-fifths are
colored; in Alabama, District of Column
bia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina
and Virginia the colored form one-third
to half OF the total; in Arkansas and
Tennessee, q fourth TO a third. Tho
least proportion among the former
slave States is in West Virginia, where
there are but 1856 to 100000 whites,
and in Missouri, where there are but
7,16S. Outside Of the former slave
States the proportion of negroes is very
small. Between 1870 and 1880, in the
United States as a whole, there has
been q gain of 625 colored on an as
sumed basis Of 100, 900 whites. Great
relative gains during the decade have
apparently been made in tho Southern
or former slave holding States. OF
nine of the States which gained, eight
stand at the head of She list, having
made relative gains of 944 to nearly
11,000. It is believed by the census Of

Strictly Temperance, Except.

Fairplsy (Col.) Flume.
On the sleeper of an L. F. and w.
train recently, traveller noticed an
old, white-bearded gentleman trying
to get in linen duster. The young
and spry traveller rushed to his assist
ance, and in helping him with his gar
ment noticed good-sized whisky flask
protruding from one of the inside
POCKETS of his coat. Being of wag-
gish nature, he appropriated the bottle,
got the coat on the stranger, and then
pulling out the flask, said:
"Will you take drinkw
The old man did not II cognize the
bottle, and, drawing himself up, re-
marked, rather severely:

cit won't hurt you," insisted the
wag. "Its the best"
young man." said the old gentle
man, intended for all in the car to hear,
eff you persist in drinking whisky you
will be ruined man at forty. It is
the curse of the land. When 1 was a
boy my mother died and the last thing
she did was to call me to her bedside
and say: John, swear to me that you
will never touch drop of liquor"
Here the old man clapped his hands
on his side pocket, found it empty, and
recognizing the bottle in the hands of
the other, he continued:
Except. my dear boy, an occasional
snifter while travelling"
And reaching for the flask he pressed
it to his lips, amid howl of laughter
which shook the whole car.

She Remembered Il.

Mrs. Graham, of Port Byron, New
York, who died last summer at the age
of 104, was asked shortly before the
failure of faculties if she remembered
the surrender of Cornwallis. "Do I
remember Corvallis surrenderP" re-
piled Mrs. Graham. eyes, 1 remember
it; that is / remember how the news
came. We lived in Freehold, in the
Jerseys then, and my father was with
the army, he'd been with the army a
long time. My mother was worried
about him. The day the news came I
was sitting ON the doorstep, and had
a rag doll, and the door was open, and
mother was ironing at the big table.
There was a man came flying up the
road on a gray horse, and pulled up at
our door and called out to mother, and
says he, "Cornwallis has surrendered.
and the war is done. I saw a man
who saw your husband; he's coming
home, and then he rode on. And nv
mother just set down the fat on the
table. and dropped into a chair and
cried like everything, and the hot fat
iron burned big hole in the ironing
sheet, but mother didn't seem to mind
that. Law, yes, remember it well.
1t was one of the neighbor men on the
gray horse, and he carried the news all
over"

Not Fit to Live.

NtnCAkO llulc3.
Under rigid cross-examination the
Washington assassin was forced to ad-
NIT that he felt something like remorse
for his success in numbering the presi-
dent, though he did think that God
had inspired him TO the commission of
the bloody work which he began and,
he claimed, the doctors finished. 1t
was not remorse, probably, but appre-
hension for the safety of his own mis-
cradle carcass, that prompted any COM
punctious feeling he may have had.
AS a rule, murdeIers are more appalled,
at the results of their crimes than this
fellow. There are exceptions, however,
and one of them is the cold-blooded
scoundrel, William Gindram, now on
trial in New York for the murder Of
his landlady. Like Guiteau, this cx-
ecrable wretch found it convenient to
live upon the earnings of boarding
house keepers, and was highly incensed
that demands should be made upon him
for board-money. The fellow is utter
ly devoid of feeling. His victim lin
gered long in mortal suffering, and he
bad the audacity to write her husband,
regretting his inability to attend the
funeral or send floral offerings thereto.
Still, he hoped it was a fashionable
event. AS to the disposition of the
dear remains-were they dumped in a
hole at Harris island? For his part.
he had filed the shedevil with a bit
OF lead, and it had taken all the devil
ishness out of her. 1t rejoiced him
greatly that the poor woman had lin
gered long. whereas he, if he were to
be hung, which he very much doubted,
for hanging was played out in New
York, would suffer but minute or
two. Thereafter he would be, he de-
clared with grim cynicisrn, in heaven,
where all murderers go. The scoundrei
had one redeeming trait. He had been
urged to plead insanity, but he rejected
the suggestion as a miserable subter-
fuge. "This is a plea" he said. athat
is generally made use of in defense of
assassins like Guiteau, for instance. in
whose defense nothing whatever can
be said but that they are crazy" This
fellow is not at to live. II he escapes
the gallows ii will be an outrage to
civilization, and. would authorize his
shooting down like a rabid cur in the
streets.

Pink-Eye, Again.
The Western Homestead.

Last month we quoted from an east
ern paper description Of the symp-
toms of this epidemic, but as the dis
ease seemed to be abating, omitted its
remedies. AS there are still cases in
localities, we give the writer's method
of treatment, but such heroic remedies
are rarely needed. We copy them,
however, as severe cases might occur
in which they would be called for.
Ordinarily, we believe that a little rest
and good nursing will bring them
around all right. Bran mashes and
cooked flaxseed are excellent to keep
the secretions in order. They ought
not to be given warm, however, unless
great care is used to avoid exposure, as
they are liable to make the animal take
cold and increase the difficulty.
In ordinary cases tonics and stimu-
lants are called for. In cases where
the fever runs high give the following:
Tartrate of antimony and nitrate of
potassa, of each one drachm; mix to
gether and give night and morning.
When the fever is broken, tonics and
stimulants are called for. The follow
ing may be used in ordinary cases with
good effect: Gentian root, pulverized,
and nitrate of potassa, each one ounce;
Jamaica-ginger, pulverized, half an
onnce; fenugreek or anise-seed, pull
verized, six drachms; mix and divide
in four parts, giving one night and
morning. When there is dropSical
swelling of the legs, half an ounce Of
'sulphate of iron may be added to the
above with good effect. If the lungs
are involved give the following: AGO
mite root in tincture with tincture of
belladonna, one part each; water, two
parts; dose, one teaspoonful every
three hours. If the liver is affected.

If In pain, with occasional fits of un-
easiness, give Barbados aloes three
drachms, calomel and pulverized digi-
tails half drachm each: make into
a ball with molasses. This must not
be repeated. When there is soreness
of the throat blisters should be ap-
piled. The fly-blister, made thin with
turpentine, answers good purpose.
The animal should be placed in box
stall, well Uttered with straw, and
kept clean As pure atmospere as pos.

air of a badly ventilated stable retards
or defeats restoration to health.

A Gardeners Secret.

Peter Henderson, the veteran gar
dener, made very significant state
ment before the convention of nursery-
men and florists. This statement em.
bodies the remarkable fact that if gar
den seeds, when planted in the spring.
are firmly pressed when under the
earth, by the ball of the foot, at the
time the gardeners are putting them
into the ground, they win invariably
grow, drouth or no drouth; and what
is still more important, they win spring
up earlier and grow faster and mature
better than any of their kind which
have not been subjected to this disci-
pline. This same rule of pressure, he
says, holds good In regard to trans
planting trees, shrubs and plants. This
Is an item Of great practical value to
many Of our people, and especially to
those who live in suburbs.

The Suns Heat.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

A few general facts about the sun
may not be uninteresting. Its diam
eter is $50, 100 miles, or rlore than 107
times the mean diameter of the earth.
The volume or bulk of the sun exceeds
that G Z the earth ,405, 900 times. The
mass of the sun, or the quantity of
matter it contains as measured by
weight, exceeds that Of the earth $780,
600 times. The following facts rela-
tive to the chemical constitution of
the sun will answer inquiries made:
The solar atmosphere comprises, in the
state Of vapor, a great number of sub
stances which comprise our planet. OF
the metals which enter into the COM
position of our alkalies and earths, 1t
has sodium, magnesium, calcium,
barium; it also contains iron, zinc, cop
per, nickel and chromium; also has,
probably, gold, cobalt, strontium and
cadmium. 1t has, however, neither
silver, mercury, tin, aluminium, lead,
antimony, arsenic nor silicium, at least
no considerable quantities have yet
been found. We quote an authority in
regard to the question of heat: "Until
very lately, when the theory of the
of energy became under
stood, the vaguest ideas of the probable
origin of the suns light and heat had
been sustained. Prof. Sir w. Thomson
has thrown much light on the subject
and we are now led to think that az
the particles which formed the SUI
have gradually come together under
the influence Of gravitation, the result
has been the conversion of potential
energy into motion, or kinetic energy
and of the latter into heat. This ides
is, we believe, also entertained by Profs
Helmholtz, Sankine, TAFT, and general
" by those who have studied the sub
iect. and are at the same time acquaint
ed with the theory Of the conservation
of energy"
