Population of Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 25--The annual di-
rectory for 1882, made its appearance to-day
In regard to the population of the city, the
publishers says: The number of names ap-
pearing in this years directory is $1,000,
against 54,90l in 1881, the increase being
1929. Taking 2h as the multiple, and this
is the lowest multlplier used by any publisher
known to the writer, 81 being the one most
commonly used, our increase in population
during the year is 5,747, and giving us pop
ulation of $4,000. Of this estimate the
Courier Journal says: We think Mr.. G. K.
Caron, the directory compiler, is too conserva-
tive in his selection of multipller. Taking
the figure 3, which is below the average used,
it would give US total population in round
figures of 10000. We do not regard this es-
innate too high, for we have large popula-
ton, living all around the three sides of our
city just outside the corporate limits of the
city, but whose names appear IN the directory.

Soap Grease or Freedom.
detroit Free Press,l


AT one time during the civil war when the
Yankees made a raid into Ouachita parish,
La, good many negroes went off with them.
Among the number who started was an old
woman living in Monroe. She seemed quite
rejoiced at the idea of being free, she clapped
her hands and shouted and called her friends
to go with her. "Come long wild me folkses,
Pm gwine to glory! Gwine to glory in dis here
waggin! Come long, all OF you, an 60 wild
me to glory! Glory"
But when the baggage was inspected it was
found that Aunt MISSY was taking an undue
eral kegs, bags and barrels, some containing
ashes, and others full of old bones and meat
skins for soap grease. The officer had them all
thSOwn out in the street, declining to transport
such freight. This highly incensed Aunt
MISSY. She quit shouting "glory,"
and Indignantly jumped out of
the wagon, and refused to 60 step
toward freedom without her treasures.
ssYou 'speck me to go Norf an leave haaf
my plumber him? Hice me down dat air
hair kivered trunk er mine an my blue CHS,
an my dog-iurns, an dat yuther yaller trunk;
Use gwine to stay here, is! Ketch me leavin'
desc diggin's 'dout my little bags er bones an
my little barril ashes, an my little kaigs er
bacon-rines!'
LONE other darby reminded Aunt MISSY
that she was losing golden opportunity for
gaining her freedom, but she muttered:
SWhat's use bein' free if you amt got no soap
grease?"
So her trunks and her "blue CHS" were
enlisted down. and she returned home, hap
py to resume her old life rather than part
with her cherished soap grease.
A fact.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-It was the same old
story to-day. There was no opening, but
the boys are as hot to day as they were to sell
yesterday, and consequently the market
''boomed" up some, but didn't hold long.
The gang" who are running the April corner
had sold large line of May wheat, and when
they attempted to take in some of their shorts
to-day, the boys were just "sly'' enough to
make them pay for it, and consequently May
advanced while April held steady until just
before the close, when it dropped to $1.25X !,
the lowest point of the day. The clique have
the wheat market where Brady had the hen,
and therefore are going to have fun. They
haven't begun to squeeze the boys yet, so
opinions are of no value.
Corn got it's tail up under good demand,
and advanced about 1c.
Provisions also took an up turn, and look
very strange. Henry Wilward & Co., one of
our Oldest houses, who have been carrying
pork, had to lay down to-day. That is the
kind of public spirited man Phil Armour is
when he wants to ''down" man.
Curb for April wheat is $1.2aX.

MINIATURES SENSATION.
A Scandal Involves Prominent Citizen
and He Suicides.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

! MILWAUKEE, Feb. 15.-Last night society
circles were agitated and startled by the arrest
OF Joseph W. Curtis, private secretary and
confidential clerk of F. N. Finney, the gen
eral manager of the Wisconsin, Central rail-
way, and the widest rumors as to the cause
of the arrest were Immediately circulated. 1t
was finally ascertained that Curtis, who is a
married mai with two children, was arrested
on charge of abandoning child, crime
that is punishable under the statutes by i'm
prisonment of from one to three years.
On Wednesday evening bundle containing
a baby was placed in a car of the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore IL Western railway on a seat occu-
pied by an old lady. Detectives have been
working on the case since that time and sue
ceeded in collecting sufficient evidence to war
rant the arrest of Curtis. The first clue OBJ
tanned was from hack driver who
conveyed on the evening in question lady
and a gentleman, the latter carrying two
bundles, from a house on Fifth street to the
Union depot. The lady departed on one of the
trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, and the gentleman carrying the two
bundles disappeared. Two bundles, one con-
in one of the cars OF the morning train Of the
Lake Shore road.
Further inquiry at the house on Fifth street
occupied by Mrs. Stillberg, developed the
fact that gentleman answering the descrip-
ton of Curtis appeared there about a month
ago with young girl who gave her name as
Lizzie Becker, of Manitowoc, agreeing to pay
her board and lodging and all expenses if she
should happen to be confined. This
occurred weeks ago and the baby,
it is claimed, is the same
found in the cars Wednesday evening. The
same gentleman took the girl and the baby
away IN hack. Detective Struberg took the
woman Stallberger to Curtis Office yesterday
afternoon, and the woman who had already
identified the baby and the clothing contained
in the second bundle at once recognized Cur
tbs as the man who brought the girl to the
house and subsequently took her away.
The mother of the baby, Lizzie Becker, has
been employed for the last two years and
half as servant girl in the family of Curtis
Curtis strenuously denied the whole matter
and said it was scheme to blackmail him.
This morning, however, when the matter was
published in the Sentinel, he changed his
front. He went to his home and attempted
suicide by swallowing an ounce
of laudanum and there lying on
q bed sent bullet crashing through his head.
He fingered in great agony until this evening,
when he died. The matter is the most startling
sensation, as Curtis was prominent church
member and member of leading family.

agency are uneasy and excited in connection
with the approaching execution of the three

scouts, and other prisoners arrested with
them, Tiffiuy's dispatch was sent to the Sec
rotary of war by whom it will be submitted to

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Emery Storrs, OF

The telephone of Chicago furnishes the

abominable, and cannot hereafter sue
coed, among decent people under the
present management. The present man.
agement is, indeed, the worst that any
similar instrumentality has ever sought
to impose upon patient public. There
is but one way to treat it, and that Is to
cast it out of every house in which it has
found Judgment in the city. The Times
declares this without qualification. It so
asserts without reservation. 1t advises
nothing herein for which it has not itself
set example, It has cast out the tele-
phone, WIN the emphasis of kick. It
has KICKED it out, with the emphasis of
contempt. 1t Epronounces it fraud of
the most fraudulent kind-of its size.
The Times kicks it-because it feels sat-
isfaction and pleasure in it-because It
has ample occasion to do so.
