No Mobs Need Apply.

OLlMrIA, w. r., February lO.-ln re-
Spouse to a call from Mayor Chambers,
between 400 and 500law abiding citizens
was called to order by the Mayor.
Speeches were made by prominent citi-
Zens. after which 100 names of the best
citizens were enrolled to organize q law
aud order committee, with which the 10
deputies enrolled by the Sheriff, will be
sufficient to check any lawless proceed
ings in the future. The Mayor has issued
a proclamation calling upon all persons
riOtOusly disposed TO Immediately dis
perse; and also calling for recruits to
join the law and order committee. The
two ringleaders, HenleZer and Bates,
were arrested at noon and bound over
in $500 bonds. From the enthusiasm
manifested at the public meeting, it is
evident that such a mob as appeared
here on Tuesday morning will not be
tolerated by order-loving citizens. The
Cinnamon are anxious to leave, and will
do so AS soon as possible, but peaceably
inclined citizens will not allow them TO
be driven away by force. Everything
appears quiet at present, and the Chinese
remain in their dwellings unmOlested.

The Chinese Trouble.

SEATTLE, w. T., February lO.-AnOther
day Of gloom and anxiety has ended
without material change in the situation.
Although the grayest apprehensions
have been felt throughout the day, no
collision has taken place. The militia
still hold the city and strict martial law
is enforced. The streets have been
throngPd all day, the city being filled
with strangers. A feeling of the most
intense bitterness prevails on all sides
and the situation could not well be more
grave. The Governors first call on the
President for troops was made on sun
day. and il was expected that the an
swer would be prompt. Ii was under
stood that troops from Vancouver would
arrive this morning but Ii appears
they have not vet received orders and
have not left NsncOuyer's. The militia
have been on duty continuously since
sunday morning and are utterly
worn ont. Words cannot express the
anxiety of the citizens for the presence
OF Federal troops. Appeal after appeal
has been sent to the President and many
senators and other prominent men have
been wired to urge him to take action.
the Chinese question does not seem to
figure, but has been lost sight OF in the
bitterness engendered by yesterdays
conflict. While there Is no doubt that
the Home Guards were attacked before
firing, and that they acted in self-de-
tense, the bitlerest impTecatiOns are
heard against them. The authorities
are determined and ready for any emer-
gency. Citizens are generally respond
ing 10 a call for volunteers. The cadet
corps Of the Territorial University we're
sworn into the service OF the territory
this evening and are now in quarters.

The Human Race,

Some one recently made public the re-
mark that ifthe whole human race were
divided into families of five persons each
the State of Texas is large enough to
supply half an acre of land to each fami-
ly. The statement surprised some peo-
pie, and not few Of them declared hast
lily, without performing the necessary
calculations, that it could not be true.
But it is true. There are supposed to
be about 400, 100000 persons living on
the globe. A half acre to each family of
five would require one acre for 10 per-
sons, or 100000 acres in all.
The area of Texas is more than
two hundred and sixy-two thousand
square miles, or nearly one hundred and
lightweight million acres.
Consequently there would be sur
plus of almost twenty-eight millions left
for, which would be sufficient for four
or five times the present population OF
the United States.
Not many people realize how little
space would be needed TO accommodate
the whole human race, assembled In on e
place. Suppose we were to fancy every
human being forming one of vast con-
| gregation, seated in fourteen hundred
million easy chairs, each occupying a
square yard of ground space.
AS there are nearly 100000 square
yards in a square mile, that number rep
resents the size Of the congregation that
could be seated upon it under the con-
ditions named; and the whole human
family could be gathered on q tract
Of ASP square miles, or I'll miles each
way.
Less than two -fiftLs OF the area OF the
little State Of Rhode Island would suf.
flee to give comfortable seating room &c
the whole human race. One-twelfth OF
the area of Rhode Island would be
enough to afford standing room, as peo'
pie stand in crowd, without crushing
to every man, woman and child on the
face of the globe Youths Companion

Army Changes.

WASHINGTON. FEBRUARY, l0.-The death
of Major-General Hancock and the re-
tirement of Major-General John Pope,
which will take effect on the 9th of
March, will cause two vacancies in the
grade of general officers and promo
tions all along the line. There is already
considerable speculation in regard to the
principal vacancies. The general i'm
preston now IL that Brigadier. General
Howard and Brigadier- G eneral Terry,
who are first and second respectively in
the line Of seniority, will be made Major
Generals, but the friends Of BTigadier-
Generals Crook and Miles feel that their
chances for promotion are equally as
good.

Fleece ant Carcass.

Steven Powers, in the Ohio Farmer, calls attention to an occasional ht eCe found in h ,Ck when lamb k, brought to the shearing table which "will yield a fleece of beautiful, long, white staple; opening wita a fac, flashing lu,tre, with plenty ot white oil, or orange yellow; evenly and finely crimped to the very tip of the fore, winch |, three or four in- ches long on the yearing, and two and a half and three inches long for scme years later" This is wool from wdich dclline and other worsted fa- brics are made. The characteristic uf the sheep producing this wool IS that the skin must be free from wrinkles, above medium size, squire in form, round blrreled and of good consti,u- tion--in fact, q rcversiol to the true Spanish type, improved by careful feeding anu selection.
