of Erie, Crawford, Mercer, Venango and War

6S9l as compared with 1856 and 1O,7S7 as COM
pared with 1888, begins to doubt whether the
solid demand of the delegates of those counties
for Mr.. Delamater's nomination represented
the popular wish. When the Press adds to that
loss the items of ,949 in Mexican. 2Ol5 in But
Ter, and smaller slumps in Forest, Clarion and
Armstrong, making total loss of l6.6 676 in the
counties named, it may be pardoned for having
doubts whether the candidates success in car

elusive of the desIrability of his candidacy.

Her Objections Overruled.

handmaidens who have such horror of
children.
She had made it a point to avoid families
where there were any children. and on several
occasions when babies arrived she had left
good quarters at very short notice. The lady
from whom she had parted on this account
some l5 years ago in Allegheny met her the
other day in the market.

In other words, this comparison shows in
every case but two decrease of from one
tenth up to over one-third In the ratio Of
growth, and in five of the nine States the de-
crease in the ratio of growth is over quar-
ter. When we take into consideration the
fact that the decade showing the smaller ra-
tios of growth has been the most prosperous
period the South has know n for thirty years,
while in the two decades from which the av-
erage is taken, one-ffth Of the period was
occupied by a war that left that section in
complete ruin, this result is wholly beyond
intelligent belief 1t would be surprisirg to
learn that the ratio OF increase in the South
was not more during the last decade than
the average for the two decades that include
the Civil War. If the showing were that
the ratios had slightly decreased by from a
tenth to twentieth, the task of believing it
would be more difficult. But when we are
told that the ratio during the prosperous pc
riod has fallen off at such rates as quarter
or third, it entirely dIscredits the enumer-
alton on which the later ratios are based.
This is the legitimate conclusion from the
comparisons which the defenders of the cen
sus have invoked. Extended to the totals
for the whole nation, and emphasized by the
increasing ratio OF immigration, it leaves lit
tie escape from the conclusion that the CEN
sus of this year is not an adequate aud fair
enumeration of our population.

THE TOPICAL TALKER.
Widows Only Need Apply.

a YOUNG married woman went into an intel
ligence office the other day to hire cook,
if she could There was only one empress on
the market SO to speak-a tall, strapping, de-
termined-looking maiden of some forty sum-
mers. With considerable fear and trembling
the young housekeeper asked the lone domes-
tic if she would condescend to rule the roast
for suitable consideration.
How many is there in the familyf" the
elderly party demanded fiercely.
"Only two-my husband and myself" said
Madam Timidity.

Poor Little Babes.

ON another occasion man visited the same
Intelligence office. He possessed wonder
full courage, it is needless to say. Chaperoned
by the proprietress of the establishment, he
interviewed, or rather was examined by several
ladies who admitted their desire to rule kitch-
ems and regulate households. One sof them
asked him the usual question as to the size of
his household and he admitted with brazen
effrontery that he had Il wife and four children.
Il object to the children" she said.
"OhI that's easily settled" said he; 'if you'll
consent to cook for us we'll hang the childrenW
And he said it SO seriously that under the cover
of her amazement he beat retreat in safety.

The Big Railroad Tunnels.

THE great railroad problem of the future is
being solved by two great enterprises so far
as New York is commemorative silent, steady
work of the company that is tunneling North
river, and the contemplated work of the COM
pany that is to bore hole from Staten Island
to the city of Brooklyn. Very little is being
heard of the tunnel under the Hudson, but the
work is steadily progressing. Within two years
from now the thousands OF passengers who ar
rive daily on the Pennsylvania Railroad on the
Jersey shore to be trans ferred to New York
CITY by boat, will be landed directly upon Man
haitian Island. When this shall have been finally
accomplished people will wonder how they en-
dured the old order of things 50 long.
That grand enterprise, the BROOKLYN bridge,
that simply shows how necessary 1t Is that we
should have another one, is NOS greater boon
to-day than will be the North river tunnel when
it shall have been completed. Very few people
who cross on the ferry from Jersey City daily
ever think of the work that Is gong on below
the bottom of the great riyer-and pr badly few
of these same people who do ever think or the
value of such means of communication. Weget
used to things. We once got along without the
Brooklyn bridge, the elevated railways and the

day would throw business into chaos. 30 II VIII

THE Democratic party is disposed to util-
ize the present opportunity to discipline the
traders and wire lsullers of their party in Phila-
delphia, who showed their readiness to sell out
Pattison for theiI own local advantage. Trying
to expel McMullen and Monroe in Philadelphia
may land the Democrats in some such dilemma
as the Republican attempt to get rid of the
wicked Gibbs in Gew York CITY. The best way
is to leave them alone, with a clear understand
ing that they are not to be depended on for

EYPODEhMIC BLUSH.

This Latest Weapon of the Fair Sex is Dan
gerous to Trifle With.
From the London Illustrated Eews.l
The 'hypodermic blush" is the latest new
weapon that has been added in the United
States to the armory of the fair sex. The i'm
mediate effects are sai0 to be ravishing, and to
impart surprising beauty. Never were the
gentler emotions of the human heart so grace
fully displayed, though it is only "coloring
matter inserted beneath the skin with the point
of a syringe"
beauty-spot becomes a greenish yellow, and if
the experiment is persisted in it bears per-
manent scar; but while it lasts the attraction is
described as irresistible and it lasts two hours.
This is time enough for almost anything
certainly for a declaration of love. But this is
only one-though, it is true, an important one
of the uses to which the hypodermic blush
may be applied.
