Courier JOurnal: Louisville has
had a very steady and substantial
growth in population. In 1910 the
population wa 1857; in 1890 it was
1924; in 1910 it was 2l,2l0; in 1850
it was 1874; in 1860 it was 68,033;
in 1870 it was 100, 1873; and the late
census Of 1880 puts the population at
1868, which is really 1900 below
the actual number, according to the
test Of the government enumeration
made a few months ago. We are
good for at least 200, 0 people in
1900, and in that year we must have a
fair count.

A Man w no Hit o Woman.

From the New York Sun.
Two nights ago, on the z O'Clock boat
from Staten Island, a well-dressed lrlsn
woman of robust frame calmly removed
a camp stool from beneath the extended
legs OF a yubicund German and put her
own feet thereon. The German g feet
came down to the deck with heart
rending crash as he walked from an In
cipient nap, and he gazed around Tor
the stool. When he saw where 1t had
gone he deliberately walked over to the
woman, jerked the stool away and gave
her hearty slap in the face. In an in
slant she was around his neck with one
arm and boxing bis head around with
the free hand in most interesting way.
The German shook her of, but she made
another grab and caught him by the face.
Her hand grasped several features, and
unfortunately for her, a finger came too
close to his mouth, and he bit it vigor-
ously. She loosed her hold and tried to
get at him again, but the bystanders in
terfered.
"He hit me. He hit a woman" she
painted.
"Now, madam" said one OF the two
deckhands who held her, "you take a
FOOLS advice and let him alone"
"Lem'me git at i'm. Lem'm git"
She struggled so violently that the
men at last dragged her forward and
left her antagonist out OF sight. As she
was drawn away she made one more
violent effort to get at the Tueton, and
then disappeared. He mopped his lace
vigorously for moment, and then said,
as he disposed OF his legs on the con-
tested camp.stool:
"Shentlemen, dat is der kint OF
greechers We make our vifes!"

Anew Workers. Idea of Exercise.

Saratoga Letter
was talking yeste day with New
York millionaire. He was telling me-
that he had come for the season. He
had been here one single week, and was
already talking OF going back to New
York. | was endeavoring to point out
to him the benefit his health would de-
rive from long sojourn here from the
pure air of Saratoga, from the morning
walks through the woods, tie afternoon
drive to the lake, and 80 on. Nonsense"
he replied: "to walk or ride or drive is
no exercise. To follow an idea amid a
thousand, to unravel an intrigue, to
surprise a secret, to discover plot, to
Illustrate the efforts of a rival trades
man, to outwit his shrewdness, TO pre-
pare scheme after scheme, to study
problem, to experiment upon 1t, to leave
the house on time and return against
time, to 20 on a score OF errands during
the day-that is what / call exercise. In
New York everything l do has an object,
even my recreations have one, but to
walk for the sake OF walking, to stroll all
the day long in park, on piazza or
lawn, without any business to attend
t., without any distraction-that is no
| f.. An idea that makes the blood flow
rapidly through the veins is more
wholesome exercise than long walk
without object and concern. The man
who, having anxiously expected mes
sage, walks ten steps in his office to so
and meet the messenger, takes more ex-
ercise than the other who has llstlessly
walked ten miles on a country road for
the simple purpose OF gaining appetite"

Detroit Post and Tribune.
Once we talked OF difident persons;
he thought "this might be classed with
the trials of life" and said that with
him this feeling amounted to bashful-
ness. Often he had gone to church
sui would feel so diffident before he en-
tered that he could not get up courage
enough to do it, and would come away.
And sometimes as he was led to seat
there. would find himself in such an
agitation that drops of perspirstion
would fall from his face.
This is strange" l said, "for you,
who have been welcomed all over the
world, met so many persons, been so
honored, 80 loved, how is it possible ?,
He replied: at is temperament. l
shall always feel just this sort OF boyish
timldity. Small events in public often
bring on this distress" "How about
your writings?" "Well, with them l
write and re-write and cast aside so
much and have such sense OF their
lack of excellence" think this mod
esty shows in his pictures. Often in
his later years he would send me card
with his likeness Once he writes: 1T
seems foolish to do this, but it may
please your grandchildren to look at. -

The Secretary of State of West Vir-
pinis seems to be kept pretty busy in ls-
suing charters for projected railroads in
that State. With many OF these the is-
suance of the charter is probably the
last that will be heard OF them; whilst,
on the other hand, enough OF them are
under the auspices OF such solid men as
to render it certain that the Mountain
State will in few years be pretty. well
gridironed with railroads, which will
rapidly aid in the development OF the
vast mineral, agricultural and manutsc'
turing resources OF that State. The
latest incorporation at Wheeling, on
Monday last, was the Point Pleasant
and Ohio River Railroad Company,
whose road is to commence on the boud'
ary line between Ohio and West Viz
GINA, where the Pomeroy and Ohio
River Railroad strikes that line, and
runs thence to point at or near Point
Pleasant. The capital stock is S5OO,OOO,
divided into 5000 shares. The incorpor'
ators are: George |. Seney, OF New
