management OF his private business Affairs.
At ! O'Clock Robert Garrett, president of The
Baltimore < Oaio railway, called upon N-
Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt greeted him cordially
and engaged in a long and animated coayersa-
ton with him about railroad matters. The
conference lasted more than hour and Wander
bit sent word to Twombley that he would be
compelled to forego his intended drive.
While engaged in Nversation Garrett was
suddenly made aware a slight indistiuct-

an inarticulate sound. 'the leaned over 60

At I9 o'clock every day, except sun
day, shrill whistle sounds in Cedar
street. The cats which are nodding in
the corners spring to their feet, and run
with ears and tail erect to the doors OF
the stores. A chorus of miaoaws is
heard fro every side. Zach repetition
of the whistle is greeted with fresh
chorus. Then an old man ZONES along
with heavy basket on each arm. In
the basket are portions of chopped liver
lied up in packages. He distributes
these at each door, and little later the
eats are purring and licking their paws.

The top Of Roraima, perhaps the most

say the nearly level summit is twelve
miles long, and that it is covered with
vegetation.
The mountains sides are sloping and

orinoco, the Essequibo, and the Amazon.
Other cascades break out from the sides
of the mountain a little way below its
summit. In the rainy season some Of
the streams thus formed are impossible.
The rivers that fall from its crown sur

After he left his successor made dis

wainscoting was a row of pins, the low

highest simply far enough indented to
keep it from falling out. There was
such an evident purpose in this row of
pins that the attention of the chief Of
the division was called TO it. Running
his finger nail along the row, he found
that each pin represented natural note

Mr.. Taber's ingenious arrangement OF

The following communication was re.
ceiYed from Robert II. pogue, the census
enumerator for the upper district:
GENTLEMEN: At the last meeting Of
your Board the report Of the census emu
merators was not accepted, on account o.
the decrease in population. It was
thought that errors must exist. To aseer
tain Il their might possibly be some er.
rors Of mistakes in the sgures or footings
have examined the books and find no
mistakes. 1 have taken the census this
time with equally as much regard for &C.
curacy aa at any time heretotare, and in
Union district where the decrease Is the
greatest, with as much care as In any oil
the other districts.
1.-THE population is as great as 1t was q
year ago, there is no decrease as some
seem to believe. ! am satisfied that il
cannot be found by the present method o.
taking the census, which is the same as
the methods Of previous years. That 1t IL
not taken at the proper time Of the yeal
will not account for tho decrease, because
the census OF last year, with which it il
compared, was taken at The same time o.
the year, though l think that the census
returns would show some increase
were they taken at some other time than
in the summer months.
Several OF the members spoke Of the
difficulties TO be encountered by enumera.
tors, and the Board arrived ct the decision
that the best thing 10 be done would be to
order the payment OF the salaries OF the
enumerators.
Clerk Pendleton was elected a member
Of the Board Of Rkaminers to oil the
vacancy caused by the death OF DR.. E. A.
Hildreth.
Ats O'clock the Board adjourned.
