perhaps this happy day with the
little ones has left behind some ray
Of tha. better inspiration which will
live Of itself, whether formal resolu-
tions embody it or not.
This year promises to be one OF
those leavening epochs which come
80 often in history, the calm after
the storm. Whether the mild genial
weather can be held prophetic Of
calmer seas, who can tell? The
days of the pioneer were not 50
balmily blessed. 1890 is such a

expressed, the close Of decade aud
the beginning Of the last decade OF

ONE of the best points in Mr.

only one Great Britain protects, has

Our Chicago Letter.

SOME NEW YEARS THOUGHTS.
How often before a change comes
TO be a realized fact we think Of II
and how II will seem when II comes.
So about writing $780, few weeks
ago we thought how queer 1t would
seem to write II thus, this very
thinking preparing us for the change
and making 1t IA reality. So 1t would
seem that anticipation is not 40
much a"charming vagary" after all,
but one of the strong forces at
work transmitting dreams to reali-
ties, thoughts to things.
The world Is fond of New Years
Day and its thought. The world
welcomes this pivot day, lis glad
perhaps of time for making good
resolves, glad 10 begin anew, for
New Years Day has really come to
have Il reconstructive character. II
is landmark; the careers Of SO
many well-lntentioned people, aud
the very fact that II Is easier to turn
over new leaf at this season
proves that the world ut large Is up
holding the thought Of good resolu-
tions.
or course New Years In the
crowded city by no means wears an
aspect suggestive of sackcloth and
ashes, On the contrary, one sees
the world abroad In It's most conviv-
ial aud holiday spirit. The cars are
crowded with fortunate ones invl-
ted 10 dine out, the streets are bust
ling with men who have turned
their backs on business, and who
carry with them the satisfaction of
knowing just how they stand In the
financial world, aud en this parlicu-
lar New Years Day the Windows
are thrown up aud women aud
children look out ON the passcr-hy,
There might, of course, be much
solemn " about such a d"y; people
might spend their time In reflection
and retrospectlon, but Time has
such charming way OF gliding on
and slipping out OF sight before he
can be detained by serious Thoughts.
A certain party OF people spent
the New Years Day uf 1880 the
guests OF live merry children, what
better way 10 initiate good rsa'u-

lists of Europe and America, aud
ringing them within the reach OF
Ill. For instance the treatment
pursured by special physicians who
reat indigestion, stomach and liver
troubles only, was obtained and pre-
pared. The treatment of other
physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and 50 on till
these Incompatible cures now in
'lude disease of he lungs, kidneys,
female weakness, rheumatism and

effects, and thourghly realize the all

Especial New York Letter.1
remarked some time since that the
average New Yorker was entirely in.
different to census figures, and that he
didn't care whether Superinte ndent Por.
ter's returns made the result greater or
less by couple of hundred thousand or
30 This has proved to be the case
Neither the press nor the public here
showed the slightest concern when the
Census Office gave out l, 500, 600 as the
population Of this city. which was at
least 3OO, 900 less than the local estimate.
Nevertheless, a fight has been inaugu.
rated against the official census figures
which will probably lead to a new
enumeration. This fight, strange to say.
comes from the health department, the
officials of which feel greatly scandalized
by certain logical results to be
deduced from Mr.. Porter's census.
If the latter is correct, then
the death rate of the city has greatly
increased since 1880, and New York is
the unhealthiest city i'll the world. On
the basis of 100000 population. the
health officers find the death rate of the
city to have increased 30 per cent. since
1880. This they say is an absurdty, and
they challenge the correctness of the
late census on the ground that they have
full knowledge that the death rate has
slightly decreased, and that by method
of estimate which they have found to be
thoroughly reliable the population of the
city can not be less than 10000 To
prove their point, they have had an
enumeration taken by the health in.
spectors in three wards. and in each case
they show population about 80 per
cent. in excess of the Porter census.

will ask Mr.. Porter to adopt it or recount
the inhabitants Of the city.
1t is not necessary to challenge the
honesty of the Federal census TAX
ers. The fact is that no city in the
world has so migratory a summer
population rs New York 1t has become
acommon practice for all classes of men,

houses: the poor or middle class give up
their rooms, and store their goods; and
so it is doubtless fact that some two or
three hundred thousand of our popula-
ton were scattered at the seaside and
mountain resorts and among the farm
houses for $50 miles in every direction

Jupan's Lucky Fish.

K. Osoka, a merchant of Toxic, de-
clares that Japan will experience moth
ing but prosperity this year, This dec
laration is based on unique and never
failing sign, according to the foreigner.
"The king of good luck has appeared
on our shores" explained Mr.. Osoka,
"and his capture is worth more than
million yens.
A few weeks ago the capture of a
strange fish at Niigati-Ken was reported.
1t resembled tia in many respects. 1t
was six feet in length, its body was OF
bright red color with little polka dots
scattered about, and it had a long flow
ing golden beard. The beard was two
feet in length and fine as silk. When
the fish was landed crowds from all
over the country came to Niigati-Ken
to view the strange sight For days it
was mystery until an old fisherman
80 years of age saw it.

was held in its honor, and prosperity
followed. A grand jollification was in.
