A Tough Case.

Twelve years ago there went to Des
Moines, Ia, a man who was employed
as section hand on the Chicago, Rock
leland and Pacific Railroad, and during
this service he wooed and won an Irish
maid with a pretty face. For three
years they lived happily together, when
he went to Dakota alone. There lie
struck a rich lead, became rich, and
added ''Hon." to his name. He sent to
his wife no reminder of himself or his
whereabouts, and after time she found
another husband, who soon died, and
she took another. Not long ago the
aforetime section man stopped at Des
Moines, en- route to Washington, TO
represent his people in behalf Of the
new State of Dakota, and get the divid-
ing line fixed SO as to take in his 5 600
acres. He made inquiry for his long
ago wife, and learning her unfaithfui-
ness, applied for and received decree
of divorce from her, thus making her
two marriages unlawful, and the chill
dren born thereof illegitimate.

A Matter of Writing.

Matthew Hale Smith was writing
letters to the Journal over The signature
of Burleigh." Smith wrote detest-
able hand, and Charles o. Rogers, who
was then making the Journal Jump with
bis activity, enterprise and iberality,
was very nearly his match in this
particular. One day compositor came
down to Mr.. Rogers with some of
Burleigh's copy saying that if he
had got to set that kind of stuff they'd
have to pay him by the hour, because
he couldn't make his salt setting it by
the thousand. Rogers Immediately
wrote Burleigh note, telling him that
if he couldn't write so that his letters
could be read he had better either quit
writing or get somebody to do his
writing for him. In day or two there
arrived an envelope with Rogers's
signature cut out and pasted upon it
and scare Boston Journal" written
beneath. Upon being opened it read
as follows: "Dear Sir: 1 have received
letter which, from the printed head
ing I assume to be from the Journal
office. If you will get somebody that
can write a legible hand to inform me
whom it is from and what it is all about,
I shall esteem it favor. Yours truly,
Matthew Hale Smith" The next time
Mr.. Smith came to Boston he was
handsomely entertained, and Charlie
Rogers paid the bills. Christian al

A War Story.

A picturesque story OF the Franco
Prussian war is told in Paris. NJ, Am
broise Thomas, the composer, was
forced before the seige to abandon his
beautiful villa at Argenteuil, which was
full of artistic treasures. When the
Prussians entered the place one Of their
officers inquired for Thomas's house,
and writing a few lines on card slipped
it under the door. On the garden gate
he wrote q few words in German. Many
German regiments passed through Argen'
teuil, and were quartered in its houses,
but the composers remained untouched
When the war was over Thomas re-
turned to bis villa to find everything as
he had left it; and on the card which
had been slipped under the door he read
a German name, and written beneath it,
"The nephew of Meyerbeor."

Facts from the Census.
THE PROPORTION OF FOREIGN AND NATIVE
BORN PoPULATIoN-THE MAINE FISH
FRTFS

A bulletin issued by the Census Bu-
reau at Washington contains some in
teresting statistics in relation to the
native and foreign born population Of
several States. The fore;gn-born resi-
dents of California are little more than
one-third of the population, and the
number of those born in China is 73, ,548;
in Ireland, nearly 63,OOO; in Germany,
1000, and in England, $4,000. In
Maine the foreign-born are one-Gleventh
of the total population, and three -fifths
of them came from Canada. In Florida
only one-twenty-seventh OF the popula-
ton was born in foreign countries, half
of these coming from Cuba or the West
Indies. The number of residents who
were born in Europe is about 5000, out
of total of about 10000 foreign born.
In Georgia there is only one foreign
born resident to 146 natives, and four
ffths of the 10, 564 foreigners came from
Ireland, Germany or England. The
forei gn-born in Indiana are about one
fourteenth of the whole population,
and fve-ninths of the foreigners were
born in Germany. The proportion of
foreign-borD to natives in Kentucky is
one to twenty-eight, four-ifths of the
foreigners having been born in Germany
or Ireland. One-seventeenth of the
residents of Louisiana were born in for
eign countries, and four fifths of the
foreigners came from Germany, ireland
and France. In Maryland, one-eleventh
of the residents are foreign-born, and
four-iiftbs of these came from Germany
and ireland.
The bureau has also published the
fishery statistics of Maine. The tables
cover more than 40 pages, and are most
elaborate, embracing the smallest de-
tails. The extent and value of Names
sea fisheries are surpassed only by those
OF the fisheries of Massachusetts. The
number of persons employed in the sea
and river fisheries is Il, ,662; the capital
invested is nearly $500, 900, and the
market value of the products is about
So, $50, 600. Inasmuch as Maine has had
a monopoly OF the lobster industry of
the country, the table shows the extent
of that business for the United States.
The entire lobster catch of the State for
the census year was about IA, $50, 900
pounds, of which $500, 900 pounds
were canned. The sardine industry
was, up to the census year, confined ex-
clusiyely to Eastport. Business was
begun in 1875, and in 1880 the value of
the products was $825,000

They were standing together, ankle
deep in the tall orchard grass by the
pasture bars.
The bright sun, shimmering through
the leafy oaks, fecked the bronze brown

Diantha dropped her golden lashes,

She was about to reply to the passion

as they started toward the house. "I

shook hands cordially with his new
aunt. "Didn't 1 warn you to beware
of landladies ?"
But Mr.. Feverfew looked into his
wife's violet eyes with a smile of salts
faction, and bore the raillery without
word.
"He's a lucky dog, after ALL"
muttered the envious nephew to
himself "and if landladies were all
like Aunt Feverfew, I'd go for one
myself"

A Sad Farewell.

Two of the De Long party escaped.
They were sent ahead to secure assist
ance. When despair stared De Long in
the face he decided TO send Noros and
Ninderman ahead. The food had been
quite exhausted; the party was existing
only on brandy. Noros thinks it was a
Sunday when they left. The Captain
had held divine service, the men seated
on the banks of the river. After service
he called the two men and told them he
wanted them to push on ahead, and that
he would follow with his party.
''If you find game" were his last
words, "then return to us; if you do not
then 60 to Kumak Surka."
Noros thus describes the parting -
The Captain read divine service before
we left. All the men shook hands with
us, and most of them had tears in their
eyes. Collins was the last. He simply
said -
"'Noros, when you get to New York
remember me-.
as we left they gave us three cheers. We
told them we would do all that we could
do, and that was the last we saw of
them"
Such is Noros's story of the last seen
of Captain De Long and his suffering
party.
A PERILoUs TRIP.-Two soldiers of
the Royal Artillery stationed at Maui
ritius went out for on excursion along
the shore in a little ekiff. They were
caught III strong current and carried
out into the Indian Ocean, where they
drifted about for nine days without food
or anything to drink except rain water.
One eventually died from exhaustion,
the survivor was at last thrown on to
the coast of the island of Reunion, and
properly cared for by the Consul. They
fed on flying fish, and being followed
all the way by monster sharks, who
were nearly level with the boat, must
have had terrible time of it.

Special to The Globe-Democrat.
Washington, ID. c. August IL THE work
of preparing the skeleton Of the assassin Gui-
teau will probably.be completed, and the OBJ
iect placed on exhibition in the Army Medicai
Museum by the Ist of next month. This delay
has been caused by the fact that but one per-
son could be cnt listed 10 perform the duty, as
the demand for CHASTITY souvenirs OF the as
.sassn tempted the other workmea TO make
away with every portion that they could lay
fheir hands on. One of the ears and nuincTr
Gus muscles Of the body were placed in oil and
taken off during the first two or three days
that the cadaver was exposed in the museum,
and the coffin in which the body was brought
up from the Jail has been completely demol-
ished and carried off. 1t turns out that DR..
Hicks, the assassin's spiritual advisor, was
present when the grave in the Jail
opened the night of the 3rd of
July, and that he assisted to a
certain extent in the work. The box in
which the coffin was encased was replaced in
the grave, and earth piled and pounded down
upon it to ward Oft suspicion that It's contents
had been tempered with. The anatomist of
the medical museum, DIR. f. + Shafhlrt,
snperintended the removal by two truSty white
qabmcrs, while Warden Cracker his deputy,
Capt Russ, stood by with lanterns to expedite
the Job. The stories about the remains having
been exposed upon the roof Of the museum
are denied by the oitcia's in charge. and your
correspondent was to-day shown the rec"Pta-
Gle of what remains of Charles julius Guiteal.
On a small platform erected outside one of the
second story back windows of the museum the
bones lie in promiscuous pile. bleaching in
the sun, and here it was stated they have been
for the past five weeks. They are as white as
ivory, and not Joint is missing. SO that when
the process Of articulation is finished the skel-
eton will be one OF the most perfect in the col
lection Great care will be taken, however,

che smaller bones, and it is probable that a
strong glass case will intervene between the
public and the skeleton.
