Thea slowly advanced Bernard OF Pas
carene upon his milk-white steed, with
trappings of azure and silver. A goodly
youth TO lock upon, with his lithesome
figure and chestnut curls falling upon his
blue doublet, and his brave, sweet lips
half shaded by the gold brown line.
He sprang from his horse and threw
himself at Ethne's feet.

heaven to thus kiss the hem of thy robe,

Then uprose Ethne and blushed cheek
and neck and brow, and she lifted
him, and put in his hand the crimson
rose.
'sThou art the man." she said. Thou
hast spoken the words which alone can

HnM We Grow.

The rapidity with which this country
is growing may be understood from the
increase in population. The census of
1880 gave the population of the United
States in June of that year as 90, l55, 78S,
which was II, 597, 412 more than in 1870.
The Cincinnati Price Cu11eat has made
en- estimate of what it is now, which
seems to be nearly correct. For the ten
years from 1870 to 1880 the increase of
population was almost exactly equivalent
to two per cent. gain annually, with the
yearly immigration added. The immi-
grafton for the years ending June 80,
1880, and the approximate population on
June 80, of those years, on the basis of
calculation mentioned, is as follows, ac-
cording to theblerice- Current:

Collection Of BoOt-Hcels.

Here is the latest new thing in collec-
tions. An old gentleman in raris, fired,
/ suppose, by the example Of the collec-
tors OF celebrit es' hats and ians, and
stocking and snuif-boxes, has been for
some time engaged in collecting the boot
heels Of famous people OF both sexes
lie has already more than 1000 speci-
mems, and declares that the character OF
their former owners can be read in the
state OF the bootheels they have left be-
hind them. But. after all, the old mai
is not to be laughed at. Boot heels are
quite as interesting as the old coreeis
which another collector is accumulating.
The nucleus Of this last collection was
formed by one that was formerly the
property Of the authorcss OF Jane
Eyre. - which was sold at recent sale Of
Bronte relics for half a guinea. - Loadoa

1t will be observed that these twenty
five titles belong to about two-thirds of
the 100, 900 children. 1t is also evident,
on examination, that, however great the
variety Of the names divided among the
remaining third, there was but one namo
to every 49, 35 persons. There is good
reason for supposing that the table af-
fords a fair sample of.the proportions in
which personal titles are distributed
among our own population in general.
and we do not wonder at the confusion
that often arises in large classes, as in
our public schools, on account Of so many
children bearing the same name.

with as little-if not less-hope ofa FpeedJ
resumption of freight traffic as ever 81
burban passenger traffic has been Partially
re-estabished with the aid of policemen
and deputy sheIiffs, whose presence On the
trains prevents the knights Of Labor from
influencing the engineers to leave their
trains, and an effort is being mads9d
to run out all the suburban trains on their
scheduled time. Vice President Hoxie'
reply to Martin Irons, Chairman OF
the knights of Labor Executive Com
mittee inclines many to the belief that the
the strikers as body, but that it will wait
until the number OF new men employed on
the lines shall be sufficient to carry on its
business. Should this prove TO be true, IL
is understood by the Knights of Labor
here that the order which called those out
who are now striking will be followed by
one which will cause every member OF the
order employed upon the Gould roads and
their Southwestern connections 10 cease
work.
The situation, so far as the East St.
Louis sWitchmen are concerned, remains
UNCHANGED. The men were at work ss
usual this morning and it is understood
that their grievances will be remedied with
out resort to q strike.
