RICHMOND, June 6, 1890.
To TIE Editor Of ne DisD0,cas
inoiice you evince a good deal Of inter
est IN the result OF the census now being
taken and, II | SIN not mistaken, ask Others
10 unite with you in guessing as to the
population this census VIII develop.
Having very distsnct recollection Of the
manner ia which you received the result
OF the last census. am induced 10 indulge
myself To the extent Of making several
guesses. And my frst guess 10 (the one
am willing 10 bet on that you will follow
the course YOU pursued in 1850 and refuse
10 accept the returns, because tas YOU then
stated the cnumeratOrs had not done Their
duty-.in other words, because the popula.
ton fell short Of your idea OF what i
ought 10 be. The fact is that census ClsS0
was actually repudiated by many persNls
simply because they believed Richmond
ought 10 have larger population, whereas
whatever their ideas as 20 what the popu-
laiion ought 10 be) the only possible way
10 ascertain what Il was was by counting
them.
The enumeration in that census-taking
were. think. ali Democrats. and before
entering upon the work were required 70
take an oath before a notary that they
would faithfully perform their duty.
Moreover. they were paid SO much bead.
and there could not therefore b. any in
dueeigept 10 leave ont q solitary person.
because in addition TO the fact the enume-
rator would be dlsfegardipg bis solemn
oath, he would also be loser bs, it.
There was. therefore. no earthly motive

MRS. HARRISON SURPRISED.
The Presidents Vito Presented with a
summer Cottage.

Aspecial dispatch from Washington says:
ut has been known for some time that the
Presidents family will spend the heated
months Of this summer at Cape Nav, hut
an incident occurred to-day that Will be as
much of surprise to the friends OF the
Administration as it was to the inhabitants
of the White House themselves. Last
summer Mrs. Harrison spent some time
with Mrs. Mckee and her children as
the guests of Postmaster-General Wan
amaker in cottage at Cape May Point.
Mrs. Harrison enjoyed herseltso thorough
lv during this brief visit to the seaside that
she was profuse in her Acknowledgements
of Mr.. Wanamaker's hospitality. When
the announcement was recently made that
Mrs. Harrison and the rest OF the family
would not 90 TO Deer Park this summer
but that they intended to spend their va
cation by the seaside the Decentralization
eral recalled Mrs. Harrison's enjoyment on
the Jersey coast last summer
The result of this WAS that to-day Editor
Mexican. of the Philadel phia LetqCr. accom-
panied by Postmaster-G General Wanamaker,
called upon Mrs. Harrison AT the White
House. There Mr.. Mexican. on behalf Of a
number of subscribers to the Gift, whose
names are unknown. presented Mrs. Harri-
son with the deed and keys 10 the cottage
at Cape Nav Point where she enjoyed her
self last summer. Mrs. Harrison was over
come by surprise. She is. however. greatly
delighted with the gift, and is especially
proud because of the fact that this is the
first piece of real estate she has ever owned
in her own name.
The cottage is large, old-fashioned
building. containing about twenty rooms,
and il is probable that Mrs. Harrison will
visit Cape May Point within week OF two
TO inspect her new possession and 20
make preparation for residing there during
the summer. A the impression grows
tcmber. the probability grows stronger
that the President himself will be compelled
20 remain in Washington during most Of
the hot weather. but the ladies OF the family
VIII be able 70 escape the heat OF Wash
ington summer.
