The bill introduced by Mr.. Cox in the
House for ticking the census of 1850 will
be amended before coming up for discus
sion. The principal changes thus far
effected cut off many detailed inyestiga-
tons of the sort that caused long delay
in publishing the fruits of the tenth cen
sus Instead Of the twenty-five volumes
required TO contain the results of the cen.
sus Of 1850, only seven viii be needed for
the new work, these being concerned
only with population, with industrial, so
cial, and health statistics, and with the
>e", ,iions Of property and public indebt-
cdness.
The last census report was very clabo-
rate and showed the desire and capacity
OF the Government 20 give 10 the people
thorough report Of the statistics Of the
country, bat the next one will be better.

JULIA WARD HOWE,
Famous American Literary woman.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe in the minds
of the people is first and foremost the
lecturer. In point Of fact she has equal
claims TO the title of poet, essayist, and
reformer, and not only that, but society
woman az well.
Julia Ward was a daughter Of the
New York Wards, and was born between
sixty-nine and seventy years ago in the
then fashionable locality OF Bowling
Green. Her father was Samuel Ward,
ST., the first president of the Bank OF
Commerce. Her mother was Miss Julia
Cutler, and it was from her mothers
family that Miss Ward received the
beauty and talent which have made her
remarkable, and which she has given in
full measure to at least one of her
daughters. Samuel Ward, Jr., so we'll
known IN New York society, was a
brother OF Mrs. Howe, and TO him and
his brilliant tastes and ambitions she at-
tributes much of the pleasure that life
has given her. To HIM she owed her
proficiency in and great fondness for
German literature. The famous old
Ward House, on the corner of Broadway
and Bond street, New York, where they
moved from the house on Bowling
Green, stood in its stately dignity till
within a comparatively few years To
this house, which was made attractive
with every luxury and three lovely
daughters, there came, in Miss Maud
Howes own words, "many men whose
names have been identified with their
country's progress. or suitors for the

three maidens there was no lack, but the
father was q somewhat stern man and
dealt with all of these summarily.
Then the father died and the great
house was closed. and shortly after Miss
Ward made the first of o series of visits
TO Boston. Here she met men ike
Horace Mann, Charles Sumner. and
Ralph Waldo Emerson, and from their
midst chose her future husband. Ut.
Samuel G.. Howe was a man who came TO
he known the world over for what he had
done for the blind, and at the time Of
his marriage with Miss Ward the two
continents were deeply excited by the
story told by Charles Dickens in his
American Notes" Of the education Of
the blind deaf mute, Laura Bridgman.
Their wedding journey to the Old World
was a brilliant affair, and they were cor
daily received 10y many famous men and
women. On leaving England a trip to
the continent was made, with long
stay in Rome, where there came to the
pair q little daughter. Julia Romano,
afterwards the wife of DR.. Howes sue
cessor in the asylum for the blind-Dr.
Anagnos.
The first ten years OF Mrs. Howe's
married life were devoted to the duties
OF wifehood and motherhood, which
were her delight. In 1884 she pub
lished her first volume Of poems, " Pas
sion Flowers" Soon after this MIS-
Howe became interested in the question
of slavery, and did much work that WAS
effective for the cause she had espoused,
especially by the composition OF her
" Battle Hymn OF the Republic. "
Mixed with much delightful fantastic
literature like "Mrs. Some-Pumpkins at
Court" and "Parlor Macbeth, Mrs.
Howe has continued from the time OF
her first volume to give much that is
clever to the reading world. Her essays,
many of them deeply metaphysical, have
probably influenced her literary stand
ing among the people OF Boston quite as
much rs her books. Later Lyrics" a
second volume of poems, appeared in
1866. and "From the Oak to the Olive "

lecturer. Her reasons were frankly
stated. "Once convinced Of the i'm

ayowed and powerful champion Of the
cause. Heart, soul, and mind were do

but Sir. Barbour thinks no may DO able
to induce him to do so. Mr. Cleveland
received his callers very cordially and ex-
pressed great interest IN the Exposition
and his earnest desire to accept the 1nvi-
tation. He could not commit himself
positively now, but hoped to be able TO
make arrangements to be present.
