The new census of London, showing
the population to be 4,764,312 souls,
has drawn out from Land, the English
journal, some striking contrasts. "rhere

double the number Of people in Dem
mark, including Greenland; nearly three
times as many as in Greece; more than
eighteen times the population of Mon
tenegro; some thousands more than
Portugal, including the Azores and
Madeira; nearly treble the population
Of Servia; more than double that of Bull
garia; three-quarters of a million more
than in Holland; more than Sweden, or

Mrs. Parsons smiled.
Every well, my dear. I'll say no more.
Perhaps YOU are rightn'

Mrs. Parsons smiled.
Every well, my dear. I'll say no more.
Perhaps you are right!'
Nora wiped the flour from her hands,
and in her kitchen costume, without
even removing the obnoxious ..big linen
apron, proceeded to the drawing
room.
Mr.. Greville arose to greet her. He
looked a trifle surprised as his glance
took in her tout ensemble, and then with
an inward '.By Jove! she looks hand
s0mer than ever!'' advanced towards
her with extended hand.
''Miss Nora, I'm so glad to see you!
l0nly discovered your address by ac-
cident this morning"' 4.
Morals eyes fell.
II did not know that you were still
T in town." she returned, q little embar-
raised. s'Please excuse my costume,
Mr.. Greville,'' and her eyes flashed,
and she crested her little head proudly.
Mr.. Greville bit his lips to repress a
smile.

If he was laughing at her it pro.
duced little effect. Nora was not at all
disconnected, but provokingly cool as
she answered.:
4'Why?'
Because" and he drew nearer, and
took her little hand in his own, II wish
to engage you myself. I want wife,
Nora-just such a wife as you will
make. Will you conclude your engage
ment with Mrs. Parsons, and change
your name for that of Greville?''
Further, deponent saith not. But the
next stage in the game Charlie Greville
was in the kitchen exploring the mys-
teries of the culinary department.. and
tasting Morals cakes, rolls, and pastry,
declaring them the best that were con-
cocted; and of all women in the world
for wife, commend him to pastry

NORA said Mr.. Greville when, Mrs.
Parsons being called away, they were
alone for brief space, ..tell me why
did you adopt so unusual a profession,
if may so term it? Why was all this
kept from me? You should have told
me when you first lost your fortune,

But Nora interrupted him with clear
ringing laugh.
$50 you've heard that absurd tale,
too, have you?'' she cried. "Why,
Charlie, papa has lost nothing. He has
taken mamma away to travel; and ! did
not accompany them because-because
II had long ago made up my mind

A Dream Of Home.

The SUMS rays slant the path along,
The air IL bAlmy as In June: /!
Inc robin sings his evening song,
And through the sky the new, gray moon
Moves calmly on, untrammeled, free,
But something whispers 'isse sd unto at me-
The brook sings as it gently flows,

And there the fishes, darting, swim,
hear and see the old brown mill,
But ali, these sad words haunt me still
'Not YETI
In clover meadows broad and fair, .
In drowsy mood the COWS await
The farm boys call upon the air,
While, with his pail, beside the gate
Which opens down the grassy laEe,
My brother breathes these words of pain

The steepled church. the school house near,
The wood where have roamed at will;
Ny youthful home-my manhoods still

But something whispers las sigh
Oh, Hearts, to whom there is no May!
Who yearn to hear my footballs where
The path, so beaten, takes its way
Under old trees so grand and fair!
Dear Hearts, who long for me to come,

A sadness free from all disguise,

And look into fair, loving eyes,
And clasp the hands SO warm, and kiss

Forgotten, but as sweet and strong
As when one dreamful Autumn day
said ''good-bye," and passed along
Down the old walk, and went away,
Not thinking there would come q day

"Not YETI
Alas, not yet! Far, far from thisl
Still must wait! All can do

How It Struck a Half witted Girl,

There were several persons in the
room when the minister called, one of
whom was very Neutrality-suspicious. old
lady, and another a half-witted young
woman. OF course the old lady at once
entered into conversation with the min
lister, the half-witted one sitting by, dis
hevelling her hair, and now and then
venturing a remark. The old woman
commenced in the usual way, by stating
her exceeding sinfulness, and her con.
scious need Of repentance. After Ia
menting at considerable length the evils
that were tempting and the sins that
were besetting her she suddenly changed
the current of her words.
''But then," said she, '.Mr. -, the
Lord is merciful, and knows our weak
ness He has begun good work
with me; yes, He has begun good
work.
s'Ahr' said the half-witted girl, dis
continuing her employment for mo-
ment; "Ah! He don't know what He's
undertook
Of course the talk was over, and the
minister left the premises instanter.

It'a a Man.

The Kenwood Convent, near the
Hudson River, about two miles below
Albany, has recently been supplied with
the telephone. One of the sisters urged
the mother superior to try it. The lat
ter, after some hesitation, consented,
and was told to call "hello.n That form
of salutation did not please her, but she
consented to employ it after being as
sured that it was the invariable method
Of calling up the central office. No
sooner had she uttered the word, how
ever, than she calculated, in some per-
turbation:
why, q man is talking with met
eyes, madam, it is a man, but he is
two miles away" replied the young fell
low in the central Office.
This first experience with the tele-
phone caused considerable amusement
both within and without the walls Of the
convent.

To remove scorching from white
goods, rub well with linen rags satu-
rated with chlorine water.
Raw starch, applied with little wa
ter, as paste, will generally remove all
stains from bed-ticking.
TO clean and polish tortise-shell, use
a drop or two of sweet oil, and rub it
in thoroughly with the ball of the
thumb.
Burns and scalds are Immediately re-
lieved by an application of dry soda COW
cred with wet cloth, moist enough to
dissolve it.
TO clean irons use a lump of bees
wax tied in rag; rub the irons with it
when hot, and then scour with a paper
or cloth, sprinkling with salt.
A starch that will make linen look as
good as new is made of one quart of
willboiled corn starch, three ounces of
gum arabic and two ounces of loaf
sugar.
Silk handkerchiefs washed in clear
water with pure white CASTLE soap look
like new. Do not iron; but snap be-
tween the fingers until almost dry, and
then press under a weight.
To cure earache, take q pinch of
black pepper, put it in a piece of cotton
batting dipped in sweet oil, and place
in the ear, tie a bandage around the.
head, and it will give almost instant
relief.
Oxalic acid is excellent for destroying
ink and rust stains on white goods.
Dissolve it in lukewarm water, and dip
the spot in it and let it remain for
moment, and then rub it with the
fingers.
China of any color, excepting white,
may be easily and quickly mended with
shellac. Place little shellac on the
broken pieces, and, keeping them close
together, hold them to a lighted candle.
When the shellac is melted sufficiently,
let it cool and harden, and it forms =
strong cement.
To remove ink stains from wood, take
half teaspoonful of oil Of vitriol and
dilute it with q tablespoonful Of water,
and apply with q feather to the dam
aged spot. Let it remain for few mo-
ments and then rub it off quickly. II
not successful the first time, repeat until
the ink is entirely removed.
To clean and renew black silk, use
one quart of soft water and an old kid
glove. Boil down to one pint, and then
sponge the goods with piece Of soft
flannel and iron on the wrong side while
it is damp, and the silk will be as stiff
and glossy as new. For . ight-colored
silk use white gloVe.

A New Song Of the Shirt.

AT meeting of the machfnists and other
working women, bed recently at the East-end,
London, 1t was stated trnt women and girls,
who had to find their own machines, cotton,
sters and jackets the mseiGbi. low sum of two
shitlings Dozen
Twice twenty years have swiftly flown
Since Hood, whose laugh was half moan,
was urged to paint the want and woe
Ut those whose lot it IS to sew.
His pen in fresf-shed tears seemed dipped,
AS from the attfc's toll lie stripped
It's curtain, and let in a glare
a. g fhs that sad made men start and stare
The Lyric of the Shirt he sang.
Full forty years have passed, yet still
Does greed cOntriye to MAIN or kill;
And all the echoes of that shout
VI wrath the poets cry let out
Have murmured down into a hum
That might, for all its use, be dumb,
So pOwerless is its drone to save
Or even help the needles slave.
For eyes are "red'' aud fingers sworn
As when the songsters heart was torn;
And .'stttch, stitch, STITCH yet speaks the
Of thousands hidden in the gloom
The only change the work-girl feels
Is proper to this age of wheels:
Could Hood sing now, his burden quick
Would tune itself to click, click, clickl
It's click, click, click, before the gray
Has warmed into the fullcome day;
It's click, click, click, when noon shows all
The stains upon the filthy wall;
It's click, click, when daylight wanes,
And darker grow the dusty panes;a
Then meath the buzzing gas-jet bright
It's click, click, click, into the night.
Week in, week out, the self-same strain,
A few poor pence an hour to gain;
Through Summers glow and Winters chill.
The ceaseloss treadIe's working still.
III Don the cheek no roses rest
The cough comes hollow from the chest,
But health or sickness, rain or sun,
The never-ending seam is run.
Go read what stitching women say
Within an East-end hall to-day
And feel your soul with anger burn
When told the p1ttance that they earn.
Go listen to their half-heard plant,
Through modern turmoil rising faint,
And own that with trumpet's tongue.
The Shirts sad Song should be res1ng.

CORRESPONDENCE.

A correspondent offers something upon
fatting cattle and hogs:
Editor Tribune:
Having had considerable experience in
this line, l will give the readers of the
TRIBUNE the benefit of my opinion in re-
gard to the manner in which beef and
pork should be fatted. Were ! to fatten
beef or pork for the market, would feed
corn, because hogs or cattle fed on corn
will fatten faster and the meat will be
good and hard or as We farmers usually
express it, solid; but if l was fatting beef
for my own use, should let them run TO
grass until about Oct. list, and then shut
them up in a warm dry place, and feed
them wholly on pumpkins, without any
water, until they were ready to slaughter,
provided could raise the pumkins; there
is nothing upon which beef is fed that
makes such sweet, tender, and juicy meat
as that fed on. pumpkins. 1t is not quite
so hard, or solid rs that fed on corn. If
anyone doubts it let them try it. 1t will
be necessary to feed not less than two
bushels CT pumpkins per day. If l wished
for the best quality of pork to be found,
would keep my hogs in a clover field the
first part of the season If had one, in the
absence of clover field, would feed them
on such feed us | could get, and keep
them in Il good thriving condition, and
would sow peas as early as l could, and
when they are fully grown commence
feeding them to the hogs. l would also
raise barley and when the peas and barley
were ripe, would harvest and thresh, mix
them and have them ground, and feed
this with potatoes and pumpkins. cooked,
until they are ready 10 slaughter. When
feeding pumpkins be sure never to feed
the seeds, as they are weakening both to
cattle and hogs Never feed pumpkins oil
potatoes to hogs without cooking. They
will sometimes eat them raw, but you
mi ght just us we'll feed them dishwater

THE FIRGO FAIR.

Mr.. Capehart received yesterday from
Secretary Torkelson, who is now at
Rochester, Mimi, a telegram stating that
he had registered there twenty-nine entries
for the races at the Fargo fair, and had
secured six car loads of fancy exhibits
from the Rochester fair. In addition to
these there arc already thirty-one entries
in Fargo for the races, and there will be
three car loads of blooded stock from the
Mayville and two from the Helendale
stock farms. This makes about sixty en-
tries so far registered for the races, and
eleven full car loads of blooded stock for
the stock show, and there will he still
other additions. Mr.. Capehart left last
evening for Minneapolis where he will
spend several days soliciting for exhibits
Of fine cattle and horses, and it is expected
that before the end of the week sufficient
number will have been secured to render
the exhibition of stock at the Fargo fair
the finest that has ever been witnessed in
the territory.-Fargo Republican.

1T WHAT HOUR OF THE DAY ALAW
TAKES EFFECT

TAKES EFFECT.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has rendered an elaborate opin-
ion on a question as important as it is
curious. On the I'd OF July, 1870, the
town of Louisville, ILL.,, voted to issue
certain railroad bonds, but on the same
day constitutional amendment prohib-
iting towns from issuing such bonds was
carried by popular wore and took eff
feet Immediately. The question as to
the validity of the bonds went to the
Federal Supreme Court.
It has been held in many cases that
the law does not recognize fractions or
divisions of day, audience that Leg
lslative or Congressional act or a consti-
tutional amendment goes into effect on
the morning of the day on which it was
passed or adopted, and consequently
embraces the entire day. Thus the
United States Supreme Court decided
that President Johnson's proclamation
CT June 13, 1865, removing all restric-
items on internal, domestic and coast
wise trade, took effect at the beginning
of the day and applied to all the trans
actions of the day. According to this
principle the Louisville bonds would
have been invalidated by the popular
ratification of the constitutional amend
ment on the same day the bond vote was
| taken.
But there are exceptions to this gen.
eral rule. est is true" says the Su-
preme Court, " that for many purposes
the law knows no division of day, but
whenever it becomes important to the
ends Of justice or in order to decide up
on conflicting interests the law will look
into fractions of day as readily as into
the fractions of any other unit of time"
If necessary the courts will inquire at
what hour of the day an act was signed
or proclamation issued by the chief
executive, and hold that it had no effect
previous to that hour. Applying this
principle to the Illinois case the Su-
preme Court rules that the constitutions
al amendment was not adopted until the
polls were closed, and finds that before
that hour the entire vote on the bonds
was cast. The bonds were accordingly
held valid. -ECchGnge.

BRADsTREET's wheat report, based upon
some two thousand reports from wheat
growing sections. shows that the crop of
this year is the largest ever harvested. The
total yield is placed at 526, 400, 900 bushels.
The crop Of Minnesota is estimated to be
A., 500,000 bushels. The London Times
says: Never, during the time since these
reports were collected, has the harvest in
the northern hemisphere been so favorable
all round. We usually had to report a
deficiency either in Europe or America.
This year there is absolutely none. The
world has over an average harvest. and
with such a harvest the year is likely to
be one of cheap abundance"
