The Florida agriculturist., 1889-07-17

Der of people engaged in agriculture,
commerce and manufactures. Separate
volumes for the first time were devoted
to industrial statistics, and the Occupa-
tions were minutely divided. An inves-
tigatiOn was also instituted as to the
amount of material used in manufactur-
ing establishments, the number of per-
sons employed. value of the plant, pro-
ductiOn, revenue, etc.
The fifth made the enumeration still
more definite. The age schedule was di-
vided i'll this way: Under 5, from 8 to 10,
10 to Is, Is to 90, and from 90 in 10 year
periods up to 100 The deaf. dumb and
blind were also enumerated.
In the sixth for the first time the num-
Der of pensioners 'for revolutionary and
military services" was given. The edu-
cational, industrial and commercial sta
tistics are very complete.
The seventh was really the first
thorough census. as it gave for the first
time the name of every person in the
United States at the time that the census
was taken. The occupation or profes-
sion of every male. the value of his real
estate, the school attendance. the num-
ber of illiterates. the insane, INDECENT
and criminal were all counted Slaves
for the first time were enumerated in
separate volumes, as were also the NOR
tality statistics. The amount of taxa
ton. the number of Libraries, news
papers, the different religious denomina-
tions, with the value Of their property,
and the question of wages all received
attention,
The eighth and ninth were on about
the same scale, with some slight addi-
tions, a noticeable feature Of cIe latter
being the cause of death of every indi-
vidual who had died during the census
year
When we come to the tenth, it would
be easier to tell of the subjects which it
did not handle than those which it did.
Almost everything capable of being put
into figures went into that work, and
the number of volumes is almost without
limit. sight of the returns of the
enumerators conveys better idea of the
magnitude of the work than any amount
of description can. Washington Letter.

Horses and Banana Peel.

There is little Italian fruit seller in
Worth street. who seems to have solved
the problem of what to do with banana
peel He has his stand in front of big
dry goods store and is required to keep
the neighborhood clean. All fruit skins
are carefully gathered UP, but his great
achievement is the discovery that the
average truck horse is receptacle for
banana peel.
Truck horses are numerous in this To-
cality, and whenever one comes to an
chor the Italians little daughter feeds
him on the accumulated peelings. The
little girl enjoys it, the Italian smiles at
his own wisdom. and the horse accepts
the meal complacently.
A News reporter recently made it a
point to feed the skins to horses by the
wayside, and they all liked them. There
is, consequently, no longer any justifica-
tion for the throwing of them on the
streets as traps for the unwary.-New

Building and Loan Associations.

The vast majority of city dwellers rent
their houses and never have permanent
home. This constitutes sort of respect
able vagabondage including our repu-
table people of the middle classes. The
need of this sort of life is of late coming
under discussion. That it involves vast
waste and loss, and is seriously detrimen-
tai to family character. is beyond ques
tion. Building and loan associations have
grown into prominence as remedy, and
the subject should be considerably stud
led by all men of moderate means.
Mrs. Sanbury, of the Social Science as
sociation, estimates the number of such
associations at present at nearly 5000.

him. Pat Garrett wasn't there then, but
when he heard, didn't he cuss? Parties
made out to catch Billy, but he got down
to the Panhandle, an after things had
toned down he came up into New Mexico
agin. Billy had been goin' it purity
strong in Lincoln county and no mis-
take. In the tusslin' back an forrard
his gang got purity well cleaned out, an
Pat Garrett swore he'd get even with
him.
EVERYBODY BREATHED FREER.
Billy had taken a fancy to the pretty
daughter O small ranchman, an she
was sort O. fascinated with him. but the
old man wasn't pleased. He knowed
Billy'd Jest take her away with him
when he went, an if the old man kicked
he'd get killed, that's all Billy wasn't
perticlar; he'd just as soon kill one man
as another The old man was in bad
fix. when, as luck would have it, Pat
Garrett he come along and said he was
lookin fer Billy. Now, Billy was keepin
shady at young Maxwells place, an the
old man put Pat on his trail Pat got
there all right, an seein' no one around
he went inside an found Maxwell in bed.
He denied that Billy was aroun' but
when Pat got the drop on him an swore
he'd shoot him if he didn't talk straight,
he confessed that Billy had just gone
to the clubhouse to get some steak for
cookin'.
Pat had just time to drop behind the
bed where young Maxwell was lynn,
when in come Billy with his knife in one
hand and his gun in the other. The Kid
was spicious, however, as if he'd smelled
somethin' was wrong. Comm from the
blindin sun into the 'dobe house he
couldn't see well, but when he entered
he asked: Quien sabe? He was jest say
in the words when Pat put two bullets
into him before anybody could wink
twice.
He hated Pat like pizen, an if he'd any
idea that Pat was armed, you bet he'd
never taken chances, for he was Like an
Indian. an jest as treacherOus. He'd
play up to man an make him think he
was his friend, an when he got him off
his guard he'd kill him. He was mighty
queer lad; whenever he got his fingers
near a gun there was bound to be dead
man not far away. Why, he could jest
make a pistol talk, an when he was
around all the boys sung low. didn't
pine mucl4 when heard he was killed;
fact is. thought Billy had somethin'
agi'n me, an was lookin' out sharp that
he didn't plug hole in me.-San Fran

an they TUX him for trial to Mesilla

feller as owed him an old grudge, an SO
Billy got it hot. The necktie party was
to be held at Lincoln, an when Bob
Ollinger an Jim Bell TUX him there they
put him in an up stairs room next where

They knew Billy was smart an always

The mornin' after they got to Lincoln
Billy asked the deputies for old times

on, an as Bob. an Jim, too, had known
Billy for a long time, they thought they
couldn't refuse request like that, so
they loosened one bracelet an left it
danglin by the other wrist.
At dinner time Bob said he was goin'

Jim, he was left with Billy. The Kid

Steady and Remarkable Improvements

Thorough Way 1t Is Now Done.

These books are the original returns
made by the enumeratOrs in taking ev-
cry census from the year 1890 when the
first census was taken, down to 1880, the
year of the last census. Prior to 1850
only the names of the heads of families
were taken, but when the census of that
year was collected the name of every in
dividual III the United States was emu
merated This room, consequently, con-
tains the name of every man, woman
and child who has been born or who has
lived in this country since the first day
of June, 1850
THE OLD WAY.
l do not think many people know Of
this. and at some time it may be of the
greatest use to lawyers and others who
are engaged in the search for missing
heirs. and who want to ascertain whether
certain person was living at a particular
time

evolution of the census, SO to speak For

Assistant to the Marshal of Pennsylvania
There are no printed headings as are
found in later census returns, and at
the top of every page the subdivisions
are written At that time all that the
enumerator was required to do was to
take the names of the heads of families,
the number of males in each family
above and under 16 years Of age, the
number of females, without regard to
age, ''all other free persons" and the
slaves. Apparently the government did
not provide books of uniform size for
the use of the enumerators, for some of
them are big and others small
In the second census great stride was
made in the way of obtaining more
accurate and thorough enumeration.
This year printed headings were used,
and the ages were divided as follows:
Under 10, of 10 and under 16, of 16 and
under 26. of 26 and under 45, of 45 and
upwards. The same classification was
adopted for females.
The third adopted the same age di-
visions, but in addition some slight atten-
tion was paid to manufactures.
The changes made in the fourth were
the addition of column for the ages of
males between 16 and 1S, the enumera-

A Wide-Awake Widow.

A man of considerable wealth, who
died some time since, made distribu-
ton of his personal estate, which did
not suit his disconsolate widow.
Among other unsatisfactory things,
says the New York Ledger, he be-
queathed the proceeds OF certain land
and stocks Of value to brot her, while
he left the widow the proceeds of other
stocks and lands comparative ly value
less, rs u portion of her legacy. But
the widow was sole exc cutrix OF the
will; aud when she came to sell, she
disposed of the land and stocks in "A
lump, setting high valuation on those
of which she was to have the proceeds,
and low valuation of the others, and the
valuation of the two lots taken together
making fair price for the whole. BY
this means she exactly reversed that
portion of her husbands will relating
to the land and stocks in question.
The brother, not relishing such sharp
practice on the part of his sister-in-law,
brought suit to recover the actual
value Of the bequest made TO him;
whereupon the widow proposed that in
stead OF spending the estate in law, they
should marry each other and enjoy 1t 10
gether. This proposition ''struck re-
sponsive hord"in the breast OF the BROTH
err. They were married according and
are said TO be having a jolly time in
spending the fortune which the deceas-
ed gentleman was so kind rs to accum-
ulate for thom.
