IT was hinted at the outset, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that the census would show the south enti- tied to fewer representatives in con- gress than she has at present and it was intimated that the enumera- tors would be unable to find a great many negroes. Porter is keeping his promises. It is known that an entire town in South Carolina and another in Virginia have not been visited by any enumerator and con- sequently will not appear in the census report at all. How many such omissions there are nobody knows. Already it is estimated by the census bureau that the returns will "show" that, contrary to all ob- servation, the negroes have not mul- tiplied as rapidly in the south as the whites.

Count Punonrostro, a prominent
Spanish nobleman. has just died in
Madrid. The story of his title is told
in the Nouvelle Reveue Information
ale: tr
Charles V was great hunter.
One day, while partridge shooting, he
was accompanied by gamekeeper,
who joined in the sport The SER
wants Of his majesty were loaded with
game, when a partridge rose under
the feet Of the two sportsmen. Two
shots went of simultaneously. The
partridge dropped.
who killed that birdf' said the
King TO the gamekeeper.
IL did," was the reply.
You lie, YOU scoundrel," said the
King in rage.
Thereupon the guard unceremon'
iously slugged his Majesty. The first
movement OF Charles was to try to
kill him, but fortunately his gun WAS
unloaded. Then his second and more
successful effort was to save the man
from the fury OF his attendants, and
to send him of TO prison, with the re-
commendation TO prepare for death,
remarking also that his offence was
all the more atrocious because he
could not say that he really did not
lie, inasmuch as il was doubtful who
shot the bird.
Il have no doubt about IL. sire, re-
piled the prisoner. Permit me to
examine the bird" I EU
The King ordered the partridge to
be brought to him, and, after having
examined il, the guard affirmed that
it was he who shot il becs use IL was
hit by bullet, and he used bullets
all the day long, while the King used
shot. A further examination OF the
dead partridge by the King and bis
attendants proved that the game
keeper was correct. hgh'ra'
The King was sorry, but he never
theless sent the prisoner to Madrida
where he was placed IN the cell OF
offenders condemned to- DEATH At
the last moment the King promised
his pardon, il he would repent, but
the guard refused. Charles ordered
the gamekeeper to be brought into
his presence and again asked him u
he repented.

a thousand lives and your majesty
should tell me n thousand tunes, with
out reason. that | lied, n thousand
times would punch your Majesty III
the nose, and thousand times J.
would go quietly to execution %,
And you would thus be a lossfto

The ClesnIy Drummer.

A young man who travels for
New York Bible concern was at the
Boody House yesterday, says the
Toledo Blade, and along in the after
noon, following the promptings OF
the spirit, started back TO the bar for
a drink. He had just reached the
door when be was startled by an ap-
partition of the somber-clothed person
of hi. employer. who had stopped
over a day on flying trip TO Chicago
where the Bible-house finds large and
attentive field.
Seeing the employer the young
man unconcernedly walked on into
the wash room and began 10 lave
his hands. The employer carefully
sauntered down the long corridor,
round through the billiard hall, and
just as he entered the bar again en-
countered his travelling employe, who,
bowing politely, walked on into the
billiards But he kept an eye on his
employer and when he disappeared
returned to the bar after the coveted
drink.
Again he ran into the old man and
proceeded on into the wash-room'
where he again bathed his hands.
The employer then took turn
watching the spinning ivory globes.
Anon the young man made another
effort. The employer was again
encountered. Then they changed
places once more, the young man
watching the billiards and the old
one washing his hands.
The drummer then conceived and
executed coup detdt, or something OF
that sort. He called for his coat at
the courtroom and told the old man
as they again passed in the bar that
he guessed he'd 90 out and call on
minister whom he was working up
into Bible-buying mood.
Then he walked slowly around,
came through the billiard hall, and
once more went into the bar
We'll" he said, smiling pleasantly
as he encountered his employer
again, forgot to wash my hands
Then he stole into the wash-room,
peeped around the corner Of the wall
until he saw the old man disappear,
then he FASTENED back to the bar.
The same inspiration had fired the
old man, and they collided once more.
Then they had to wash again.
By this time their hands were
white and soft and their fingers be-
ginning to shrivel up like a Canton
avenue washer-woman. Both were
growing desperate, aud the old man
said in a careless, off-hand manner.
"Oh, by the way, Phiilup, do you
ever drink a little glass of beerr
Phillup said, well, once in great
while"
Then great feeling of relief filled
them. Distrust was metamorphosed
into perfect trust and sweet conf
dence, and the dark despair OF the
hope that was dying in each longing
breast suddenly frightened into the
glad, joyous, sparkling sunshine OF
expectations all fulfilled and hopes
fully realized

A Story Of the Late Senator Beck.

An interesting story is current in
Washington about Mr.. Beck in the
early days Of his life in Lexington.
He was always keen to take the side
of the weak against the strong. On
one occasion he offered to thrash a
whole circus company, in the slavery
days, when, in a circus, q call was
made for volunteers to ride the trick
mule. Fifty dollars was offered to
anybody who could stick on. A little
darkey came forward and mounted
the mules back. After going around
the ring few times the mule began
a series OF tactics to dislodge his
rider. But the little darkey stuck
like wax. and it soon became pretty
plain thar the mule unaided could
not get him of. The ringInaster,
thinking himself safe in maltreatinR
friendless negro boy. came up and
gave his colleague, the mule, several
sharp cuts with his whip that sent
darkey and mule rolling over in the
sawdust. r.i
Mr.. Beck saw the fraud. He jump
ed down from his seat, dashed into
the ring, and catching the ringmaster
with very persuasive grip, admins
tered some Jacksonian language to
him, and demanded the money for
the boy The riDgnaster showed
fight. This was an easy matter, but
it did not look 30 easy when the
whole circus company took sides with
the ringnaster. The spectators i'm
mediateIy sided with the man who
had championed the friendless little
darkey. The money was paid over
to the boy. y ~

This marriage when accomplished,
will unite two families who have
