and go the increase was 81 per cent, and
between go and so 59l per cent.
| have also a table of the railroad,
mileage of the country at different peri
ods, which shows that the mileage increas-
ed from 9O2l miles in 1850 to 30,6S5
miles in 1860, or 2Sl per cent. Between
1870 and 1880 it increased from 52,914
to 1851 miles, or II percent.
Perhaps the most surprising statistics
which present are those of the manu-
factures. Under democratic tariff, be-
tween 1850 and 1860, the manufacturing
interests advanced more rapidly than be-
tween 1870 and 1880, under republican
tariff, During the former period the in
crease of capital invested was 30 per
cent, while during the latter it was 81
per cent The increase in the number
of hands employed during the first de-
cade WAS 81 per cent, Us against 33 per
cent. during the latter period And the
value of manufactured products increased
between 1850 and 1860, ~ per cent, and
between 1870 and 1880, y per cent.
The democratic party is the party Of
economy, and the expenses of the gov
ernment per capita have been less under
democratic rule than under republican.
The expenditures in 1850, under demo-
cratic rule were, per capita, 81 92. In
1870, under republican administration,
they were sS 03. You will recollect that
in 1880 the Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives were democratic, though the
administration was republican and the
expenditures per capita were reduced
from SIS 03 in 1870 to So 80 in 1880. In
the last two years. you see, there was a
still greater reduction, which is owing to
Il democratic House and administration.

WHOSE CHOICE /?

Some faces are supinely fair,
Some sparkling in their splendor
Some are demure and debOnair,
And some diyinely tender.
Some win us with one fatal glance,
From eyes too brightly beaming.
Some smile that smile that brings trance,
Till life i lost in dreaming.
Some fit before us sweet and gay,
To fill our hearts with laughter;
Then fade rs fancies fade away,
And leave no achings after.
Ard some-some faces, soTrow-kissed.
When hottest thoughts are thronging,
Come back, come always in that mist
OF everlasting longing.
So faces come and faces go;
Some make existence swcetcr;
And some, they make life sad, we know,
Yet being sad, compleler.
Until one face comes up at last.
Heaven knows each heart: don I doubt it
The Future fades, the Past is past
We cannot live without il.
We ask not if men call her sweet,
Or fair. .ir wise or clever;
We ask, we passionately entreat
"Will you be mine for eyer?n

that the Clark Prohibitory Law, re-
Gently enacted by the Legislature of

OF installing the squirting and plung-

be upheld. The passage Of as strin

The Horror AT StrY.

VIENNA, April 21.-The condition OF
affairs at Stry among the people who
lost their homes by the great fire, is
most pitiable. Most of the victims
are without food or means and are
desperate. Owners OF farms are now
compelled to barricade their houses
Numerous struggles for food resulting
in bloodshed, have taken place.
The search for remains OF person;
who lost their lives during the con.
Aagration has been proceeding as
rapidly as the circumstances would
allow. Thus far sixty-eight bodies
charred so as to make recognition
difficult, have been taken from the
ruins. There have been twenty
deaths in the fields since Sunday o
invalids, young and old, who were tax
en- out of the town to escape thu
flames.

BRAVE IDA SMALL MARRIED.
KISSED BY THE FIREMAN WHO RES
eUED HER FROM THE BURN
ING "WORrDD ptttTpTNc

ING WORLD" BUILDING.
Miss Ida Small was married to Mr..
@. H. Haight at the residence OF her
brother, Mr.. Wilson Small, No 1886,
Lorimer street, Brooklyn, last Wednes-
day night. After the Rev. John T.
Wilds, of the Seventh Presbyterian
Church Of this city, had performed
the ceremony one OF the gentlemen
present stepped up to the bride and
kissed her He was fireman John
Rooney, Of Engine Company No. 80,
this city, and his salutation recalled
thrilling episode in the young lady's
life.
when, on Feb, l, 1882, the disastrous
fire in the old World building, on
the corner of Park row and Beekman
street, Miss Small was engaged in an
office on the fourth floor on the Beck
man street side. The flames spread
with such rapidity that they had al
most reached the room in which the
young lady was working before she
was aware Of the fire. Escape by the
stairway was cut off and the only hope
of saving her life lay in exit by the
window. After closing the safe door,
in doing which her eyebrows were
singed, she crawled out OF the window
and stood upon the narrow cap Of the
window below, the flames licking the
sash and easement. With only aslen.
der telephone wire to aid her, the
young girl stepped from one window
5 cap to the other, while the crowd il
the street below looked on with awe.
For the time the fremen were un
able to aid her, as she was above tn,
reach Of the ladders Finally the,
