Population of St. Petersburg.

All the capitals of Europe save one are increasing in population, and that one, our readers will be surprised to hear, is St. Peters burg. If Constantinople had shown falling off one would not have wondered, but it is difficult to realize that the Russian capital has in seven years been reduced from 929, 900 to S42, 900 souls. So difficult is the fact on realization, indeed, that the Russian authori- ties refuse to realize it, and arrangements of the most stringent and comprehensive kind are now being organized for taking another census of St. Petersburg in December. Dur ing the last numbering of the people many families stayed out all night to escape enum- eration, so in December number of officials will be told off to deal with the people found ill the streets. The latter will be stopped and enumerated there and then; the chances being that good many of the citizens of the Russian capital will get put down twice over But the czar Is determined that his capital shall show a respectable increase in it's num- bers, and, of course, his wishes must be carried out.-London Public Opinion.

KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE, Nov. 7.-Cleveland carries the state. The congressional representation will be practically unchanged. The Demo crats have almost certainly gained one con- gressman in this state, and will return only two Republicans. Tho Third and Ninth districts have been redeemed from the Republicans, but Tenth and Eleventh will probably be lost. In the Eleventh district, Hart county will double her majority of 150 two years ago, and other counties report big gains, though Con- gressman Finley, Republican, will probably be elected. The Ninth district has turned completely over to the Democrats, while the Tenth appears to be Republican. Al most every county in the Third district reports large Democratic gains, Warren giving 1,2Oo this year, against 200 two years ago. In Louisville Congress- man Caruth has largely increased his ma jority. Cleveland is receiving a large vote. His majority will not fall under 40, 900 in the state. It has rained all day The vote in Covington, Ky, shows a heavier majority for John c. Carlisle than he has ever had there. His election is claimed as secure

In Dear Old Nantucket"

Not many summers ago Robert Collyer visited Nantucket and fell in love with the island, as everybody does who goes there Some little time afterward Dr. Collyer met, when on 8 visit to Boston, a young lady whose acquaintance he had made at Nan tucket. She rushed up to him and shook him by the hand; and while he returned the salutatton as heartily, it was quite evident to her that he had forgotten her name and everything else about her except that he had met her at Nantucket. Continuing to shake her hand slowly, he looked at her with a queer expression, smiling, and seeming to look through her face to the island lying away out at sea. Dear old Nantucket" be said, with his musical deliberation of utter ance, land yet they say that people die and go from there to heaven. ."-Boston Tran script

Wall Street A Century Ago.

A walk down Wall street in those days of 1O2 years age, just ten years after the Declar- ation of Independence and one year before Washington was sworn in as first president of the United States, would have been in- structive and amusing to the millionaires and speculators who now make it their head quarters. It was not then the great money center and main factor in national finance that it now is, but only an unimportant side street leading down to fashionable Hanover square, and inhabited by small shop keepers and tradesmen, many Of whom lived in more aristocratic portions of the city. The build ings were small and dark, of wood and Dutch brick, and many had small gardens in front. Then as now Trinity Church looked down the street and told the easy going New Workers the time of day, but it was a very different building from that which Old Trim ity now enjoys.-New York Graphic.

Whittier and His Poems.

To an Englishman who lately visited him, Mir. Whittier expressed surprise that his guest should know so much of his poetry by heart. II wonder" he said, "thou shouldst burden thy memory with all that rhyme. It Is not we'll to have too much of it; better get rid of it as soon as possible. Why, can't remember any of it. I once went to hear 8 wonderful orator and be wound up his speech with Q poetical quotation, and I clapped with all my might. Some one touched me on the shoulder and said: Do you know who wrote thatT' I said: No, don't, but it's good It seems I had written 1t myself. The fault is, I have written far too much. wish half of 1t was in the Red sea."-The Argonaut.

Correspondence Between Salisbury

Correspondence Between Salisbury and
 West.
 LONDON, Nov. 7.-The papers in reference to the Sackville incident have been issued from the foreign office. They contain the correspondence between Lord Salisbury and Lord Sackville concerning the latter's dis missal from Washington.
 It consists of several telegrams exchanged between Oct. ? and Nov. 4. Lord Salisbury tells Lord Sackvills that he is given to un- derstand by Minister Phelps that the otfense is not so much in the letter to Murchison as in Sackville's interview with a re- porter in support of his position This Sackville indignantly denies and latly contradicts Secretary Bayards statement. Minister Phelps claimed that Salisbury was mistaken in his understanding of the affair Lord Sackville admits that he was caught in a trap, and expresses the deepest regret, adding that he had no thought of interfering in American politics.

Two little old ladies, one grave, one gay, In the self same cottage lived day by day. One could not be happy, because" she said,- "So many children were hungry for bread;" And she really had not the heart to smile When the world was so wicked all the while. The other old lady smiled all day long, AS she knitted, or sewed, or crooned q song. She had not time to be sad, she said, When hungry children were crying for bread. So she baked, and knitted, and gave away, And declared the world grew better each day. Two little old ladies, one grave, one gay; Now which do you think chose the wiser wayf
