effects, the size of the picture being

ture is a road in the foreground, a coun-
try farm in the middle distance and a
June wheat field in the near distance.
When finished the picture will be a

completed by Mr.. Tatnall, the same
size as the above, which was painted to
the order of Il. N. Howels, of Philadel-

festival were violated by the intro due.

from one to another, between the sexes,
as a variation from the time.honored
sending of dainty missives of 0ompli,

for valentines OF attractive design and

valentines report greatly increased
orders for them in conseq ueDce of the
high degree Of art at present displayed

has urgent need of all influences that
can in any way contribute to the re-

human nature. The verses 10 be found

many poets of renown. The following
verses may bs found in a typical
valentine n immortelles and pinks in
natural colors as a trontispiece:
Who shall be my valentine?
Shall her eyes bs black or blue!
Shs II h, r hand be soft and fine,
And her hair oi gold en- hue!
Shall she stately be and tall,
With q grand and queenly air,
Smiling eyes that can enthr0ll,
Well.srched brows and raven hair.
Little matters 1t hold,
Whether eyes be DARK or blue,
Whether hair be black or gold,

She whose ways are frank and free,
She whose sweet eyes answer miue
Truthfully and modestly,
She shall be my valentine.

City Registrar Frazer, yesterday sub
mitted report to the Census Depart
ment at Washington, in which he esti-
mates the population of this city at
AZ, 500. The census of 1880 gave this
city population of 42,47S, and the in.
crease is due to the annexation of the
Eleventh ward, which added about
1000, and the remainder are persons
who have removed here during thepast
year. In the above figures, no account
is taken of the floating population who
come here and work for short time,

A FEW days ago the sister Of Capt.
William Morgan, the man who it has been
alleged was abducted and murdered by
the Masons many years ago, died in Ore
gon. Although she was supposed to know
her brothers tate, she steadfastly refused
to reveal it, even upon her deathbed. Now
comes the late Thurlow Weed with an ante
mortem statement Of the affair, full
synopsis of which is given in our tele-
graphic columns. Our Masonic friends
will fndssit very entertaining reading. Il
will be remembered that Weed bore very
prominent and important part in the anti
Masonic agitation which resulted in the
election OF John Quincy Adams to the
presidency of the United States. He was
the editor OF an anti-Masonic paper at
the time, and it was thought possessed
some knowledge of the mystery. What
he tells, however, is exceeding meae, er, and
does not so far in solving it.

OYER WORKED.

Some of the American newspapers dis
sent very pointedly IRON the position of
Herbert Spencer when he asserted that
Americans are an overworked pc ople. The
New York Sum attempts to disprove Mr..
Spencer's assertion by showing that labor
ers, tradesInen, professional men and the
like are harder worked in England than in
this country. IF this fact is estab-
lishea, it proves nothing. 1t is a
mere begging of the question. The Sun
says: ''The truth is,we are not an especially
Woodworking people. The average run OF
laborers do not work as industriously here
as they do in England. They are not
obliged to work so hard to gain their liv-
ing, and competition is not yet SO active in
the new country as in the old. The mer-
chants and professional men of New York
in the same relative positions are not so
steadily at work as those of London. They
do not give so many hours to business, and
they take more recreation, travel more,
and indulge themselves in more ease.
The shop is not so all-abso-bing here as it
is there. Mr.. Spencer is fond of statistics.
Let him get from an average collection of
American lawyers, physicians, merchants,
tradesmen, and mechanics the number OF
hours they give to labor and the number
in which they rest during year, and then
compare the figures with like statistics OBJ
tanned in England. We are confident that,
