Mr.. Proctor on American Girls.

I'm writing book on America and
1 think I'm qualified to do it if any one
is. I've been in the country since IA,
seen all parts-east, west, south, and
north; married into an American fam
ily-my wife belongs to St. Joseph,
Mo.-and sent my children to American
schools. l detest the way many En-
glishmen have of running through
America and then undertaking to tell
more about it than they could about
their own home. The way in which
they try to analyze and classify the
American girls is, to say the least, I'M
fortunate. Some recent writer goes so
far as to admit two classes. The idea
is simply preposterous. Now, my wife
has four lovely sisters, with whom l am
dead in love. In fact, I'm always fall
ing in love with American women and
l wouldn't undertake to relcgate them
respectively to any four classes, but
this wiseacre takes the millions of
girls in this country and calmly pins
them down to his two narrow classes.''

New Route to the Southwest.

1t would appear that the Minnesota
& Northwestern railroad, not content
with the remunerative business which
it has enjoyed from the day the first
train was put on, is reaching out for
additional territory, and has an
nounced the opening of a new line to
st. Louis, Kansas City, Atchison, To-
peka, and other points in Missouri,
via Lyle, the Central Iowa, and Wa
bash, st. Louis & Pacific railroad, and
promises to run its passenger trains
through to st. Louis in the remark
ably fast time of twenty-three hours.
To the travelling public, ever anxious
to take advantage of short lines and
rapid transit, coupled with unsur-
passed and novel equipment, the an
nouncement will be received with de-
light, but to the vast mercantile and
jobbing interests of the "twln Cities"
which are now brought so closely in
contact with the great commercial
centers of the southwest
and the country adjacent
the benefits to be derived are incalcu-
liable, and the efforts of the Minnesota
4 Northwestern officials in opening
up this line should meet with prompt
reorganization by the jobhers and
manufacturers of the great northwest.

ume ON the social statistics OF mining is
one of the seven that will not appear.
When Judge Chenowith gets ready to
make his descent on the geological sur
yey he might do well to examine into
the work OF the bureau i'll connection
with the tenth census.
Another singular feature of the CEN
sus is q universal gazetteer OF the 20
principal cities of the United States.
The original mass of guide-book and
directory material that was gathered
under this head has been unsparingly
cut down and revised in the office, but
enough is left to fill two prodigious
quarto volumes. Each city has Il his
torical sketch and full description OF
its local industries and objects of inter
est from art galleries to sewers. The
most important cities were intrusted to
popular authors; New Orleans, for in
Stance, to Cable, and so on. These
writers, of course, had their reputation
to look after, and humble clerks in the
office were not supposed to edit their
beautiful sentences into the waste bas-
ket and leave only the bare columns OF
figures for publication. Distinguished
authors resented such impertinence in
angry correspondence with the office.
The monographs" have been licked
into some semblance to statistics, how
ever, and are now ready for the press.
The New England cities are already in
type, and it is hoped to get both vol
umes out before the Sd of March. Ii
so, the public will be treated to some OF
the uueerest census work since the poet
Coleridpe, as kind of amateur special
AGENT, enumerated the seventy-two
well defined and several stinks'' OF
Cologne.
That part of the census that more
properly came within the scope OF a
work of this class, and that was
handled by the expert statisticians IN
the office, is said to have been well
done, and it was substantially finished
some time ago. Of all the volumes yet
to be published, only oue-the second
volume of the morality statistics--is of
very direct value. The material touch
ing education and churches is in bad
shape, or an effort might be made to
push it to completion, us the inquiry is
recognized as within the legitimate
scope of census publication. So, too,
of the volume on the deaf and dumb,
blind, idiotic, and criminal classes.
There is much valuable Information, OF
course, scattered through all the re-
jectcd volumes, but it will not pay to
try to pick out the wheat.
The large bound quarto volumes are
published in an edition of twenty
thousand copies each. This is in addi-
ton to the publication in pamphlet
form of many separate reports. The
bound editions are much too small to
meet the demand, and all the published
volumes are now only to be had at the
secondhand book stores, the set of
twelve volumes bringing $50 to $40.

The Home.

The old Athenians spent their money
freely to build temples and erect stat
ues, while their own homes were unat-
tractive in appearance to the passer-by.
We are glad our people do not follow
their examples wholly. We Judge of
the people by their homes, and not by
the public buildings, for the home is, in
a great measure, the index of the char
acter of the home jewellers. This APP
plies to the outside of the house as we'll
as the inside. The man or woman who
seeks to make the exterior of the house
attractive as well as the interior, is as
much public benefactor as he who
builds costly temples, though he may
not be aware of it, nor have the public
good at heart, but only be gratifying
his own taste. However, the man who
cares the most for his own home cares
the most for the public good usually.
A well-kept house and yard is an edu-
Gator, however humble it may be, and
the man or woman who spends money
in decorating his home is not SO selfish
as might appear. = VSck's Magazine for
SeptensbeT.

Capturing Supplies.

A member of an Ohio battery tells
the Cleveland Leader how the organiza-
ton managed to supply itself with fresh
meat once upon time. We knew it
would be night before the slow-paced
baggage wagons reached Bowling
Green, and perhaps morning before we
could find them. The thought made
the soldiers ravenous. Clearly, some
thing must be done to procure rations
for supper. Far off down the road in
front we could see negro driving an
OK team, making his way home, prob
ably scared into an ague tit by the sud-
den appearance of Yankees. 1t was
the first time, athe reader must remem-
Der, that the federal troops had pene-
trated the south, and the ignorant peo-
pie regarded them with comical terror.
The negro was making what haste he
could to avoid being overtaken. At
this moment wheel ran off from the
leading gun carriage and the first de-
tachment halted, drawing to one side
to enable the battery to pass. In a
minute or two it was replaced, but by
this time the battery had Numbered by
the OK team, leaving the negro hall
paralyzed with fear, sitting in his wa
gon by the roadside. A hurried con-
sultation in the detachment resulted in
the sergeant giving it one minute to
convert the oxen into beef. We ap-
preached the team on a run, halted,
and while the negro still sat on the
wagon with staring eyes, shivering
with fright, twenty men fell to the
work of slaughter They worked like
wild men for fear of losing their ra.
tons. In minute or two it was all
over, eight quarters of beef adorned the
caisson chests, the detachment clattered
on the run to oyertake the battery, and
the negro still sat on his wagon, gazing
alternately at the hides, heads, and de-
bris incumbering the yoke and wagon
tongue, and the flying artillery disap-
peared down the road .s

John J. Wallace, editor of Wallace's

the question of ages at which mares

ages of twenty years and upward. At
20 years old, PIG were still producing;
