Public Parks and SQUARES.

The nineteenth volume of the census re-
pc is for 1850 has been issued, and it con-
tains some interesting information concern
ing public parks and squares of the princi-
pal cities of the country, as they existed
that year. The number of cities mentioned
is 210, of which 80 made no report relative
to pa k and squares, while 10 reported
that they had none. Among these 40 cities
are Paterson, N. j., with a population of
81, 900; Scranton, Pa, with a popula ion of
10000; Wilmington, Del, with pop
ulation of $500, and Wheeling,
w. Va, with a population of $1,000.
When Philadelphia was founded five
public squares of about six acres each were
reserved. The example of her founders in
regard to squares has net been followed
very closely, but she can boast of the largest
park of any city in the United States
Pittsburg, Pa, with a population of
156, 900, had less than two acres in public
grounds. In striking contrast was Buffalo,
N. Y, which, with about the same pOpula-
ton, had park of $50 acres
and about 1876 acres of squares
Troy, n Y, with $1,000 inhabitants, had
only one acre of public grounds, while Rich
mond, Va, with 64,O00 inhabitants had
% acres. The town of Lawrence, Kan,
with population of only $500, had rs
acres of parks and squares
In list of 20 cities owning parks of so
acres or more are mentioned St. Louis,
with four parks, aggregating ,976 acres;
Baltimore, with two, aggregating 749
acres; New Orleans, with two, agg egating
so acres, and Macon, with one Of 720
acres. Macons park is one of the hand
soonest in the country.
In addition to her park of ten acres and
the park extension, or parade ground, of
twenty acres, Savannah is reported as hav-
ing twenty-three squares. Besides adding
to her beauty, these public grounds add t,
her healthfulness. No doubt the good
health of her children is due largely to the
fact that these public places afford them
safe pl ygrounds, where they may receive
the benefit of exercise, sunshine and fresh
air

Better Marry Americans

Another Ameri >an girl. who married a
titled foreigner Il few weeks ago, has found
out that she would have done better if she
had married an honest American gentle
man, even though he possessed neither blue
blood nor wealth.
Less than month ago, Miss Virginia
Knox, of Pittsburg, Pa, married TIE Count
di Montercoli, an Italian. 1t appears that
the count met her in Paris, where she was
being educate d, and fell in love with her
money, although she didn't have n great
deal of it, He followed hec to Amer
lea, and spent a month at her
home There was nothing very attractive
about him. but he was count, and he rep
resented himself as being wealthy. To
give lis story the semblance of truthfulEess,
he procured apparently corrCbcrative evil
dence of it from parties in Italy. The title
and the alleged wealth turned the your e
woman's head, ard she married a man of
whom she knew almost nothing She was
very happy for some days, h5wevar. She
had become countess, aud she rejoiced in
the fact; and when, on the eve Of their de-
parture from New York, she was inter
viewed by the newspapers Of that city, she
appeared to be about the happiest woman
in the country.
Now her dreams of life Of luxury and
conteLtmeEt in her husbands castle have
come to an end. The other morning, in
Paris hotel, where the couple were stopping
on their bridal tour, shriekS were heard to
come from the bridal chamber, and when
the proprietor of tie hotel broke open the
door, be found the young wife bruised and
bleeding, eng aged in struggle with the
count. From her statement, it seems that
she had discovered that the story of her nus
bands wealth was cruel hoax, and that
he expected her 70 pay his bills. She re-
fused to DO so, and he demonstrated his
noble birth by beating her In their dis
grace they were turned out of the hotel,
and it is said that they resumed their jour
ney toward Italy, where she will probably
lead miserable existence, unless her rela-
tiveS come to her rescue.
The young woman is an object of pity,
but it is doubtful if she gets much sympa-
thy. The experiences of other American
girls ought to have taught her that titled
foreigners who come to this country for
wives are generally Adventures. One
honest, industrious American is worth the
entire lot of them.

The Tongue.

1.-THE homeless tongue, so small and weak
Can crush and kill, " declared the Greek.
1.-The tongue destroys greater horde"
The Turk asserts, than does the sword"
The Persian proverb wisely saith.
"a lengthy topgue-an early death"
Or sometimes takes this form instead,
Don't let your tongue cut off your head"
'The tongue can speak word whose Speed"
Says the Chinese, "outstrips the steed."
While Arab sages this impart,
THE tongues great store house Is tho heart"
From Hebrew wit the maxim sprung,
Though feet should slip, ne'er let the tongue.
The sacred writer crowns the whole,
Who keeps his tongue doth keep his soul"

The Savannah River improvement.

! inc savannah River improvement.
The Savannah River Association, which
has for its object the improvement of the
Savannah river, and which was organized
last january, is composed OF members from
| counties in Georgia and South Carolina con
| tGuous to the river. 1t is not the people OF
these counties alone, however, who are in
terested III the object of the association, for
/ the Improvement of the Savannah river is
a matter Of Importance to the citizens of
Georgia and South Carolina generally.
committee appointed by the association
memoriahzed congress last February to
make fair appropriation for the river, but
the matter was considered by congress at
tine when double appropriation bill for
rivers and harbors was pending, and the
petition failed to have the desired effect.
The association, however, proposes to hold
together, and by persistent and well di-
rected work it probably will do much to
advance the public interests
The second convention of the ASSOCIATION
will be hold in Augusta on Nov. IA and Is,
and tie probability is hat there will be "A
full attendance. In addition to members Of
the association, it is hoped that delegates
from all counties in Georgia, South Caro-
lima and other states feeling an interest in
the movement, will be present The situa-
tion will be fully discussed, and steps will
be taken to bring prominently before con-
gresS the matter of an appropriation such
as IS reeded to make the river navigsble
the year round.
In the memorial presented to congress
last February it was shown that, according
to the census reports of 1880, the thirty
seven counties in Georgia and the twelve in
South Carolina directly interested in the
improvement of the river represented in
farm products, farm values Including
houses, farm implements and live stock
about $4,000, goo, and that they had a
population of about 100000. These facts
ought to insure the careful attention OF con
gress to the object of the association.

city say that the prince, in returning from

Paris, that he hoped to have the pleasure
of meeting her in London. The English
press thinks this is conclusive evidence that
the prince was not snubbed.
