ing when the figures are grouped before
the reader as il a late census bulletin.
The returns show that Of 1863 establish

A Life VS.. n Leg.


A Belgian woman who had received 10000
francs from a railroad company as compen-
sation for the loss OF a husband in a railway
accident, learning that a traveller who had
lost a leg by the same accident had beer
paid 10000 francs, went to the company's
office and said:
Gentlemen, how ia this? Here you give
70, 200 francs for a leg, and you have only
allowed me 10000 francs for the loss of my
husband?"
Madame replied one of the clerks
q The reason is quite plain; 10000 francs
won't provide the poor man with a new leg,
whereas for the 10000 francs you can any
lay get another husband, perhaps a little
better one"
The lady, who is still young, walked away
apparently satisfied.

AS BETWEEN Blaine and Harrison for
1892 95 per cent. OF the republicans OF

comes to electing delegates Carter is
quite likely to capture the entire lot for
Harrison, for the reason that the Blaine
men will not organize and work and
Carter will.

The Eternal Fitness.

1t was on a Second avenue surface car.
A woman was standing up and holding
to strap, while among those sitting
down was man so fat and bulky that
he certainly occupied the space required
by two ordinary persons. The woman
standing up must have realized this fact,
for she looked down upon him in a cold,
icy manner. He saw that she did, and
he felt it his duty to explain:
MADAM, in the first place I am sc
awkward ON my legs that 1 should tum-
BILE down if tried to stand up in car.

Rhe Route to BreyfogIe.

The Bolt was informed this week by
gentleman who was en- route for
Breyfogle, that he had conversation
with Montgomery, the man who made
the Breyfogle discovery, just previous
to leaving the city, and that Montgom-
cry advised him to come this way in
preference to the route via Daggett.
Montgomery, who has been over both
routes, declared the route south from
Candelaria to be preferable in every
respect to the one over the Mohave
desert. He said he had his team
waiting for him in Daggett otherwise
he should return to his property by
way Of Candelaria. The route from
this point is but few miles longer.
Iii probable that a stage line will
soon be in operation from Candelaria

! lated In China to Stir up the People.
SAN Francisco, Dec. 2l.-Advices by
tho steamship City OF Pekin state that
it has been definitely asccrtained that
Chon Hu, q retired taitai OF Shanghai
in Huan, has issued thousands OF vile
books assailing Christianity and scat
tered them through the provinces along
the river. 1t is known he had emissar-
les and sent out 100000 Of these books.
The. contents arc described as too vile
for belief. They contain all the worst
charges ever made against Christianity.
Z They arc infinitely more mischievous
than former works, because they are
not written in the Mandarin dialect
but in the yernacular OF tho people.
This is evidence to prove that Chon
had blocks made for the books and
thousands OF copies were struck off
under his orders, Yet, although five
people in Huangpi are to DO punished
for selling the books. the author and
his friends have not yet been prose
%cutcd. In fact they are understood to
laugh at any foreign attempt to bring
them to justice as the cause OF the
riotinp.
