Some Census Probabilities.


1t is estimated, on the basis ofelec-
tion returns, that the census this
year will show that the population
of Indiana has increased from 1 ,9S7,-
sol in 1880 to 100000, and like
estimates in other states give the
country q total population of Ca
761, 500, against 50,155, 7S3 ten
years ago. In the southern states
the increase is figured at about s.
100000. Under the new apportion-
ment the presidential electors in
1892 viii probably number $50,
against 401 at thelast two elections.
The gain of electors in the different
states will probably be: Alabama ?,
Arkansas 2, California /, Colorado /.
Georgia 2, Indiana /, Iowa /, Kan
sas 2, Kentucky /, Louisiana /,
Maryland /, Minnesota 3, Mississippi
/, Missouri 4, Nebraska B, New Jer-
sey /, New York /. North Carolina
2, Ohio ?, Pennsylvania 1, Texas ?.
and Wisconsin /. The four new.
states will probably have Il elector-
al votes, distributed as follows:
South Dakota A, Washington 4,
Montana 3, and North Dakota 3.
According to the vote of 1888, add.
ing Montana, the democratic elector-
al vote would be increased from 1913
to lS9, and the republican adding
the Dakotas and Washington, from
2l9 to 246, giving the latter q net
gain of Z. Maine is the only state in
the union which is likely to lose. In
1870 it had Z electoral votes, in
1880 it had 6, and after this year it
will probably have only 5, Accord
ing to sectional divisions the south
will gain II electors, the west 25,
the middle states 3, and New Eng
land viii lose indianapolis News.

IF India relates

who was in the rail-

service, to ride with
lgine, 1.-THE coolest place
on uuu ua.n," The invitation was
gratefully accepted.
We started late in the evening, and
l soon found that Tom was right
about the engine being the coolest
place. The speed of the train created
breeze which rapidly absorbed the
abundent moisture which q mans
body throws off when the thermome
ter registers ninety at midnight.
Nothing worthy of remark occur
red till the driver ordered the fireman
to fill up the furnace. Then, as the
logs were being thrown in, out drop
ped lively cobra on the foot-plate.
1t was not very large specimen
about four feet long perhaps,-but
it's bite would not have been the less
fatal on that account.
There were four of us human beings
on that foot-plate, and this new pas
senger made the place somewhat
crowded. Neither of us had stick,
or our embarrassment could readily
have been relieved. AS it was, all we
could hope for was that the reptile
would slip off the engine and drop
| upon the track.
But the creature manifested no
such intention. Perhaps it knew
that there was a rule against getting
off the train while in motion, or,
more likely it enjoyed the heat of the
furnace. Pretty soon it raised it's
head, and I foolishly made kick at
it, taking care not to put my foot
within striking distance.
1t was an unfortunate demOnstra-
ton. The creature was not fright
ened, but at once accepted the chal.
lenge and advanced upon us. We
were beseiged.
The driver sprang out on one side
of the engine, holding on by the
hand-rail which rims along the boil
er; the fireman wentup the pile OF
logs behind him like a mountain cat;
Tom vanished from the scene on the
side of the engine opposite to that
the driver had taken, and called up
on me to follow him.
The other men were as much at
home skipping round on the engine
in the dark as squirrels are in the top
branches of a beech, tree; but my feet
were rooted to the iron.
The cobra raised itself to strike.
l tried to jump but could not move.
Another instant and / should receive
the deadly wound. But just in the
nick of time the freman-brave fel-
low! owe my life to him-slipped
down from the logs, seized the snake
by the tail, and flung it into the fur
mace.

Teeth Can be Replanted.
From the LirerpooI Mercury.


Few people appear to be aware that
a tooth can pc extracted, cleaned
and restored to it's socket, and be-
come again useful and natural
instrument. One Liverpool dentist,
at least, is in the habit of doing such
o thing, and it appears to surprise
most people. A gentlemanin a large
shipping office had a tooth,taken out,
cleaned and restored some years ago,
and it is at the present time good
servicable tooth. This suggests the
question as to the possibility of
extracting old teeth and inserting
new ones. 1t would be a boon to
many, and is worth considering by
clever dentists.

aware of the big scheme that gentle
man has been at work on for some
time. His plantation at or near
Albany is being gradually converted
into great nut grove, and the gem
tleman has lately been devoting al
most his entire time to the growing
of the finest nuts. A few days ago
DIR. w. G. Gibson of this city shipped
him 200 large filbert or hazel nut
trees, many of which have been plant
ed on one part of the farm. In an
other part are planted 10000
pecan trees, many of which are
bearing and bringing in neat rev.
enue English waInuts and other
nuts are also being grown. The farm
will be one of the largest in the south
ern etates, if not the largest of it's
kind, and every kind of nut that will
mature in that latitude is being
planted. Macon Telegraph.

Though the morning may be dreary

Though the clouds may darkly lower
And the tempest fercely frown,

What though thorns shut out the roses,

MEMORIAL DAY.

Yesterday, May 3Oth, was Decora-
tion Day, and as usual was observed
by U. s. Grant Post, G. A. r., of
Onida, assisted by U. s. Grant Relief
Corps and the S. of V. Of fOnida, and a
squad OF the 18th u. S. Infantry from
Fort Bennett, IN becoming and appro-
pirate manner. During the forenoon
the ladies decorated the Court room
with flags, bunting and flowers Of
every description making it present a
beautiful appearance. A stage was
built in the rear Of the room upon
which was placed handsome white
monument, erected by Mrs. J. n. Gar
ner, bearing the inscription, "To Our
Unknown Dead" with an urn upon the
top filled with an elegant boquet, made
by Mrs NJ. T. johnson, of Milford, and
presented to Capt. j. II. Hurst as
token of the friendship and esteem in
which he is held by the people of Onida.
The usual G.. A. r. exercises were
held at o'clock, and then Capt. J. II.
Hurst, U. s. A., Of Fort Bennett, de-
livered an address appropriate for the
occasion, which we consider the best
ever delivered on like occasion in
Onida, and as good as it has ever
been our pleasure to listen to any
where His address indicated that his
heart was and is with the cause for
which he and the heros whose graves
were yesterday decorated fought
exposing themselves and giving up
comforts, home, and health to pre-
serve this great Nation.
At the close of Capt Hursts re-
marks, procession was formed in
front of the Court House for march
TO the cemetery, headed by the mem
bers of the 18th U. S. Infantry present
At the cemetery the usual Grand Army
exercises were had, and the graves dec
grated, salute of three guns was
fired by the U. S. Troops over the
graves Of the deceased soldiers. The
service was then closed by the bene
diction.
The music by the Band and choir
was excellent
