THERE is nothing strange in the sud
denly favorable attitude that the Irish
have assumed towards Balfour. The
Irish members viii vote for him every
time that he offers good thing
70 Ireland. just now he has proposed
that the government shall endow q
Roman Catholic University. Even II
the Irish should hate Balfour for hi:
cruelties and his partisanship they may
not reject the offer Of an endowment. II
may be shrewd trick on the part Of
Balfour, but the Irish will take the en-.
dowments every time trick or no trick.
Il would settle the Irish question quicker
if the Tory statesman would indulge in a
few other tricks Of that sort.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, D. c., March Is.

Washington, D. c., March Is.
The President is moving very de-
liberatelY in making appointments.
This is very irritating to the Office
seekers, particularly those piling up
bills at present at the Washington
hotels. But owing to the general
excellence of the appointments 50
far made, the people seem disposed
TO think that Gen. Harrison should
be allowed to take his own time in
selecting the men that will make or
mar his administration.
The total number of appointments
to date exclusive Of the Cabinet, is
less than fifty, divided among nine
teen States and Territories, as fol

AEEuuIred Tons of Nooay

It hardly seems possible that the
money paid in one month for q ten
cent article, could, if pennies were
used in payment, weigh one hundred
tons. Yet one Of our bright school
boys has figured that this is true of
Diamond Dyes. To judge from the
stocks of our dealers in dye stuf1s, Dia-
mond Dyes own the field of package
dyes, and are Il complete success. OF
course they have itnitators. Nothing
is success until initiated" But no
one wants to risk Il counterfeit when
the genuine can be obtained 1T the
same price. Three new colors have
lately been added to the list of Dia=
mond Dyes: Fast Stocking Black,
Turkey Red for Cotton, and Brown
for Cotton. The manufacturers, Wells,
Richardson u Co., Burlington, VT,
will send coiored samples of these new
dyes, with book of directions. to any
address, free of charge. These nddi-
tions seem TO have ma lie the line SO
complete that any shade can be
matched with some color Of Diamond
Dyes. The beautiful sample hook of
shaded colors, lately sent to all deal
ers in dyes, will delight the eye of any
lady. Its easy to dye with Diamond
Dyes" is so absolutely true that home
dyeing is no longer u difficult and
disagreeable task Almanacs, with
their hints as to proper times for diff
ferent work, tell us that now is the
time for Spring dyeing. This, together
with the thought of thathundred tons
of money, leads us to ask what school
boy can figure how many thousands
of ladies are now saying that this is
the time to use Diamond Dyes.

YnE HERALD.
ISLAND POND, VT. MARCH %.
THE ELEVENTH CENSUS.

The bill providing for taking the
census in 1890 and every subsequent
decade is of great general interest,
and We summarize its most import
ant provisions for the HERALD's
readers herewith. A most thorough
organization has been provided for
"a superintendent at $4,000 year,
ten chiefs of division, and rs super
visors instead of $50, the number in
1880, owing to the increase of popu-
lation.
Enulnerators are to be paid the
same as in 1880, except for special
work. In 1850 the compensation
was 10 cents for each farm and Is
cents for each establishment Of pro-
ductivc industry. The pay has been
increased to 10 cents and 20 cents
respectively. In 1880 there were
4,OOs,9O farms. Mr.. Wright, com
missioner of Labor Statistics, thinks
that at the outside there will not be
more than 100000 farms in 1890,
as consolidation rather than disinte-
grafton is the rule. There were
253,S52 manufacturing establish
ments in 1880, and the increase now
will not add greatly to the cost of
enumerating them.
One provision in the bill is new
to the Federal census, and will
please old soldiers. 1t provides for
securing facts relative to survivors
of the late war, with an enumera-
ton of all veterans living. This
will give name, age, residence, length
OF service and command of every
surviving veteran. Another import
ant provision relates to the recorded
Indebtedness of private corporations
and individuals. This will cost
$250,00O to collate 1t is not ex-
pected to get absolutely reliable
statistics on this subject, but all re,
corded Indebtedness and enough
other information which will ap.
proximately show the Indebtedness
of the whole people.
Still another important provision
will secure reliable statistics of the
negro race, giving number Of null
attoes, quadroons and octoroons.
Whether the race is becoming more
purely negro will be settled by sta
tistics, of which the census will give
the starting point. The ordinary
statistics will show whether or not
the negroes are concentrating in GER
tain localities, as claimed by some
persons, who say the gulf states will
be largely given up to them in time.
A most important return will be
made concerning the defective
classes, who have increased 400 per
cent in 80 years, while the general
population has simply doubled.
These statistics were partly in the
last census.
Another defect of previous
censuses is to be remedied in giving
a record of animals not on farms.
Heretofore horses in cities and vii
lagos, ETC., have not been counted.
Not only are the horses ''not on
farms" omitted from the census,
but the milch COWS and swine of
cities, towns, villages, hamlets and
even on stock farms. The entire
cost of the census will be $6,OOO,00O.

pie attribute the diminutiOn to

Permit me to draw your attention
to the dangerous condition of the

| know, and so do you, that our

send gladness to the heart of every
farmer. 1t is small magnetic in
strument about the size of a soup
plate, a hay magnet, and it has the
power to make hay grow whether
the weather is favorable or not. The
process is very simple; the farmer
will only be required to carry the
magnet around his meadow, the at
traction being so powerful will cause
the hay to at once grow and also to
closely follow him into the barn. In
fact few of these Instruments
| placed in the hands of the pupils of
the high school during recess would
produce such an abundant crop that
the town would be able to exempt
the poor people from paying the an
nual school tax. The discovery is
indeed wonderful. You will all

Hay Magnet, as it will be on exhi;
bitIon at the drug store next Satur-
day.
