r" SAW more intoxicated women at
the Derby than on any former occa-
sion," says Edmund Yates, in the Lon
don World. "and not merely the fe-
males with whom inebriety is normal,
but decent-looking women, apparently
the wives and the sweethearts of arti-
sans and small shopkeepers. Perhaps
the heat of the weather upset their cal
culations as to the amount of liquor they
could take with IMMUNITY"

REV. HERBERT PELHAM, son of the
Bishop of Norwich, lost his life recently
in Switzerland by very singular acct
dent. He was staying with his brother
at Glion, on the Lake of Geneva, and in
returning from an early walk they had
to descend steep and slippery grass
slope. Mr.. Pelham was behind his
brother, and is supposed to have stun
bled, as he rushed close by where his
brother was carefully picking his way,
and disappeared over a cliff 24O feet
high.

FRANK III. CUSHING was sent to New
Mexico by the Smithsonian Institute
two years ago to gather information con-
corning the Aztecs. He was convinced
that most of the accounts previously
given by the Indians as to their history,
religion and customs were purposely
false, and therefore resolved to live
among the people themselves in order
to get at the truth. He joined the Zunis,
an isolated tribe, learned their language,
and intends to remain with them several
years longer. A correspondent of the
Boston Herald lately found Mr.. Cush-
ing dressed III the full costume of the
natives, with his long hair confined by
an Indian head band, and looking quite
picturesque savage. He has become a
Zuni chief, second to one man only in
authority, participant in all their re-
ligious rites, and is making full use of
his opportunities to gain information.
he has learned, he says, that the wor-
ship and traditions of Montezuma, so
long accepted in Aztec history, have no
foundation i'll fact; but the real beliefs
and superstitions are quite as wonderful.
He has been initiated into twelve orders,
which have their priests, mummeries,
and careiully-guarded secrets of history
Spiritualism is a cardinal belief among
these Indians, and their seances surpass
in mystery those of civilized life. They
have a dead language, which is known
only to the priests, and in it are many
songs of great antiquity. 1t is in these
old rhymes that he chiefly learns Aztec
history, though he has made some prog
ress in deciphering the numerous cliff
inscriptions of that region.

itself power which underlies and up-

The other day ln omnibus full of
passengers drove up town from the
Union depot. side by side sat Il cont
mercial traveller, named William Mae

eminent lady temperance lecturer
When the omnibus reached the barrett
house, the commercial missionary sclzCd
his valsc and started out. The lady
made a grab after him aud he halted

you have my valisc.'
"You are certainly mistaken, mad

firmly, "this is mine"
"No, SIR the lady replied Iirh-. "'t

thousand. You must not take it,
But the traveller persisted and the
lady insisted, and they came very near
Quarreling. Presently one of the pas
sengers pointed to a twin valise in the
omnibus, and asked:
"Whosc is that"
ut isn't nine" said the traveller "it
is lust like it, but this is mine
"And it isn't mine,' said the lady,
"he has mine and I'll have ii or III

lady can't travel alone in this country
without being robbed of her property
in broad daylight" =,
Finally, the traveller SAID he would
open the valisc TO prove his property
The lady objected at first, saying she
did not want her yalise opened in the
presence of Il crowd Of strangers. But
as there were no other means Of set
Ting the dispute she at length consent
ed. The traveller sprung the lock
opened the valise, and the clrlou,
crowd bent forward to see.
On the very top of everything lay d
big fiat flask, half full Of whisky,
deck of cards and one or two things
that nobody knows the name Of.
The traveller was the first to recover
his self-possession and speech.
MADAM" he said, "you are right
The valise is yours. l owe youa thou

But the lady had tainted, and thu
traveller re-locked his valise with
quiet smile.

OUR POPULATION.
A Comparison With the Great Nations
of Europe.

New York sun
The superintendent of the census re-
ports that the population of the United
States is 50,lj2,J59 When the returns
have been finally corrected some chang
es may be made in this total, but they
will probably be slight, Our popula-
ton in 1870 was 3S,55S,371. We have
therefore, gained in the ten years since
then 1l,594,lSS inhabitants. This is
an increase nearly as great as thcwhole
population fifty years ago.
Compared with the great nations of
Europe, the United States show a
greater population than any, except
Russia, which contains over 12,OOO,-
600 of inhabitants, Against our So
1850, Germany shows i2,72I36O;
Austria-IIungmy, 1881 ,I20; France,
36,9O5, 7S9; Great Britain and Ireland
81, 10000; Italy, 2I7j9,i1j; Spain,
16,j2G,5ll. The total population Of
Europe is given by the "Almmach de
Gotha" as 3ll,7G3.1l3. Hence, We
have even now only ahout-onc-siNtli as
many inhabitants, though our area and
that Of Europe as Il whole are nearly
equal.

Republic of Andorra,

The iaccor Europe has been changed,
and the government Of the oldest nj
ton on the continent, a republic 1859
years old. has been oyclthrOWn, yet it
has not precipitatcd general political
cataclyism. TO be sure, there is no
army in the republic, the inhabitants
of which only number about five thous-
and, and are all engaged ."o dang
erous occupation Of raising mules. 1t
is the little republic Of Andorra, lying
between France and SPAIN which has
been conyulsod, and the reason, it IS
sad to say, is because the syndics or
rulers, refused TO sanction gaming
table and casino which a foreign COM
pany of gamblers wish TO establish.
So twenty-folr comsellor5gcncral rose
and kicked the three syndie5 out of Of
flee with the approval of the citizens.
Bloody noses and other revolutionary
symptoms became evident, but the
French Consul intcrfcred and succeed
ed in preventing what might have
been the worstreyoluton that Andorra
has seen since a. y. 1918, and the An
dorrans are now satisfied that even rails
ing mules is better than "buckiug the

Obvious reasons, is taking place in the

ready we shall probably find all of
these States with one exception, show
ing Il population exceeding a million,
while Texas will he likely to take its
place among the siN most opnlouS

iscs to rival Massachusetts in the num-
Der Of its inhabitants. Whereas there
are now nineteen states with popnIa'
ton of over Il million, there are likely
to he twenty-siX in 1870.
The growth in the population Of the
cities Of the union has been great and
significant in the last ten years. We
are gathering a larger proportion OF
our inhabitants in cities than any othcI
country, and yet we still possess vast
areas Of unorcupioI land. Whereas il
1870 there were thirty-siN cities with &
population Of $4,000 and over th,
number las now increased to sixty
four. That is. about onc-siXth Of ON
population is now crowded together in

who betrays his trust and of puttingin
his place the man who will be true.
If there are none who can be trusted
and none who will be true, then are
the people wholly corrupt and unfit to
legislate themselves, because this right
of legislation and its results cannot be
confined to themselves; be it either
good or bad, America is legislating not
for the United States, but for the uni
verse.
The spectacle of a man supposedly
elected by the popular voice to carry
out a well-understood popular will, but
who will be sworn into office to serve
the interest of party as dictated by
its triumyiate of unscrupulOus leaders,
will soon be given to the gaze of Amer
lea and the world. Who believes Gen
eral Garfield to be the unbiased choice
of a majority Of the people? Who
blessed or cursed with the privilege Of
looking into the seething lake of elect
i've corruption does not know that he
represents all the arts known to pOliti-
cal baseness? The votes were bought,
tricked, forced from the people which

dental chair bound hand and foot; one
set of men will choose his cabinet, and
another dictate his policy, and if the

he will trick them all in the end, and
the people to boot. 1t is 10 sleek, non
commital man this time; ii is an intel
ligence, strong as it is full of pulchri-
tude. Mr.. Garfield is the fitting repre-
sentative and outcome of the false
hoods of this country. lie is strong
man and Il willy man; he is strong i'll
his power to wait, and the depth of
his wiles lies in supposed frankness.
| He will not he worse than his prede-
cessors, because his courage docs not
equal his strength. He is not the pres
ident of the United States, but the pres
ident of the republican party, the
choice of the liberals and the inStr1l-
ment of the stalwartS. He, in his adj
ministration, is and will be the embod-
led results of the so-called experiment
in democratic government. Do you
believe it a success?
Is that a success which leaves lis
without public or private honesty
which has plunged Il republic of 10000,
