THE CENTER OF POPULATION

A volume recently issued from the
census Office, embracing a portion of
the statistics gathered at the enumeration
of 1880, contains, among many valuable
maps illustrating the distribution, den
sity and character of population, dia-
gram which shows how the center of
population has shifted from decade to
decade since 1870, in It's steady march
westward. What statisticians understand
by the term center of population, it may
be well to explain, is the point at which
equilibrium would be reached were the
country taken as plain surface without
weight, but capable of sustaining weight,
and the inhabitants distributed over it
IN number and position as they are
sound at the period under consideration,
each inhabitant being supposed to be of
equal weight, and consequently to exert
pressure on the pivotal point in direct
proportion to his distance therefrom.
The first census OF the United States,
taken In 1890, showed the center of pop
ulation to be on the eastern shore of
Maryland, about two miles from Balti-
more, and near the thirty ninth parallel
of latitude. From that point it has
moved westward at the average rate of

Flash Words.
from Oliver Wendell Holmes

From Oliver Wendell Homes.]
I think there is one habit said to
one company day or two afterwards
worse than that of puDning. It is the
gradual substitution of can't or fash
terms for words which characterize their
object. I have known several very gen
teel idiots whose whole vocabulary had
deliquesced into some half dozen ex-
pressions. All things fell into one of
two great categories. fast or slow. Mans
chief e1d was to be brick" When
the great calamities of life overlook their
friends, these last were spoken of as be-
ing "a good deal cut up" Nine-tenths
of human existence were summed up
in the word "bore." These expressions
come to be algebraic symbols of minds
which have grown too weak or indolent
to discriminate. They are the blank
checks of intellectual bankruptcy; you
may fill them up with what idea you like;
it makes no difference; for there are no
funds in the treasury upon which they
are drawn.

somsthina About the GoIden Rose.
IParis Letter to Baltimore Sum-


This renowned religious emblem, pos
sessed by but one American lady-the
wife of Gen. Sherman-will this year be
presented by the pope to the Princess
Stephanie, wife of the Archduke Ru-
dolph of Austria. Last year the
Sc Golden Rose" was also given to a
young bride and an Austrian princess.
I mean the Queen Christiana of Spain,
whose marriage I witnessed and also de-
scribed in the Sun. OF this "Golden
Rose" it may be permitted me to remind
my readers that it was instituted rather
more than five centuries ago-in 1869
and since that time it has been regularly
sent every Eastertide to some Cath0hc
lady who has proved herself Soldier
of the Cross" and in in the ranks thus
decorated I could name queens, prin-
cesses and but one simple American
lady. We stop in silent admiration at
the decorations born of blood and war,
and we glorify the medals of Mars, but
what excels the " Golden Rose?"

A Speck of WAR;

Egypt is in O warlike tumuIt and hostile
preparations along the coast are being vigor-
ously prosecuted. All the officers have been
sworn to defend the government against Turk
ish intervention, and an attempt was made to
exact q similar pledge from the Bedouin sheiks,
but they refused.
The Egyptian ministry resigned, after refer
ing the demands of England and France to the
sultan. In their note to the khedive they init
mated that his acceptance of the ultimatum is
an admission that the foreign powers have a
right to intervene. which, they claim. is an in
fringement of the sultan's rights. The khe-
dive accepted the designations, and issued a
proclamation to the provincial authorities en-
joining them to use special vigilance for the
maintenance of public security. He said the
British and French squadrons are on a friendly
mission. All men called out are ordered home,
and the kbedive in a proclamation to the army
personally assumed supreme command of the
troops. Ldter-At 5 o'clock on the 28th, an
immense delegation of notables waited On the
khedive and prayed him to reinstate Arab Bey
as minister of war in consequence of threat
ened characterization in the army. The khe-
dive yielded to their entreaties, re-appointed
the deposed minister, and chose new ministry.
The complication is now in fair way of being
righted.

ADULTERATED SUGAR.

At the quarterly meeting of the New
York state board of health, the sanitary
committee, through Prof. Chandler, sub
mitted supplementary report on sugar
by Albert l.. Colby. After reviewing
the work of others in this branch of an
alytical research, and enumerating the
authorizations, organic and inorganic, de-
tected-to wit: glucose, potato and other
starches, -four, dextrine, vegetable al
bumen, blood, fragments of sugar cane,
woody fibre, sporules and flaments of
fungi, dcGrus sGcchGr5 or sugar mite,
sand, particles of stone and grit, chalk,
marble dust, pipe clay, terra alba, gyp-
sum, plaster of Paris. bone dust, lead,
iron, lime, chloride of lime, common
salt, etc.-Prof. Chandler and Mr.. Colby
show that the sugars now in the market
are generally free from this long list of
insoluble and mineral matters alleged to
be used in former times, and that, owing
to the improvements In the processes of
refining and publication and the absence
of raw sugars from the retail trade, most
of the organic impurities previously de-
tected are now removed, and that the
sugar mite is seldom seem. The sugars
of to-day are, however, subject to adul-
teration by the addition of starch or
grape sugar to the cane sugar, and by
the bleaching of the brown sugars by
the use of tin salts. One hundred and
seven carefully selected samples of sugar
procured in New York city showed re-
suits as follows: Thirty-one were mi
croscopically clean, forty-eight slightly
contaminated with dust, twenty-five con-
tanned considerable dirt, and six were
very dirty. Forty-one samples of white
sugar were all found to be pure, and in
the sixty six samples of brown sugars,
three were aduIterated to very large ex-
tent with glucose and four showed the
presence of tin.

THE RENT QUESTION.

The New York Times in commenting
on the Irish troubles cites an interest
ing point in regard to the adjustment of
differences about alleged exorbitant rem
tails. 1t says: Ireland, peculiar in many
respects, has become the one country,
probably, In the world where man may
not lease property for what he can get.
If the tenant deems the rent too high, he
can appeal to the land court, which has
ample powers to reduce the rent, Thus,
the Irish tenant, already enjoying entire
immunity from consumption, so greivous
In Germany and elsewhere, is, further,
now almost secure from the possibility
of excessive rent, and thus in possession
of an advantage denied him even here.
In addition to this, the government Is
now about to assume the responsibility
of saying to the tenant, "Your arrears
are forgiven" It is very natural, then,
that the tenants in Skye, seeing what
good things Ireland is getting, should
have wanted some too, and the English
government, having thus initiated inter-
ference between man and man in con-
tracts, the chances are that the
principle will extend. Land is
rented enormously high in other
countries besides Ireland. In Belgium,
for instance, where the population to the
acre Is the largest in Europe, and where
there is little emigration, the rural pop
ulation only get along by dint of thrift,
industry and skill In husbandry almost
unknown In Ireland. Government inter-
ference to reduce land would be nearly
as great a boon In Brabant as In Con-
naught, nor would it at all amiss to
toilers on the ungrateful soil of Pommer-
ania. And then arises the question, If
such boon be extended to jewellers in
the country, why not, too, in the town?
Here, in this very city, are tens of thou
sands to whom rent is the paralysis of
industry. Indeed, it is averred that the
evictions here last year actually exceeded
those in Ireland and they are briskly in
progress to-day. The principle initiated
by the land act is, then, scarcely likely,
IN such days as these, to have mere 10
cal action. 1t Is the edge and not very
thin one either, of what may prove big
wedge, and, so far as other countries are
concerned, by far the most important fea-
ture in the Irish campaign.

Quite stir was created at Columbia, KY, on
the 23d inst, by the arrest of Rev. d. Cannon,
for the murder of his wife. The crime was

he killed mother and child with an ak.
