We have travelled few miles in our

down on old iron rails that are laid on
a dirt road bed. We have been there,
but it was always on other roads than

ABOUT INTERVIEWING.

The Experience of English Politician
in the United States.
This method of acquainting the pub
lie with the private thoughts and affairs
of men is legitimate enough if it is only
carried on in accord with the first prin-
ciples of honesty. If person knows
he is talking to tho public, and is then
correctly reported, there is no reason
why he should not be interviewed. 1t
is usually when one of these conditions
is not complied with that trouble en-
sues. The following artless description
of the custom in our country is thus
given by an English Member of Parlia-
ment in the English illustrated Maya
zine:
whenever stranger OF the smallest
claim to public position arrives at
place he is interviewed. 1 had the
pleasure of being interviewed several
times. If l met with good reporter
he gave fair resume of our converse
ton, whereas in other cases he accom-
modated my observations to the partic-
ular views of the paper he represented,
or to the particular ideas of the town in
which he lived. In one case / was asked
about the strike of the dock-laborers,
and when my observations were pub
lished | found to my surprise the report
er had thought it right to write about
the dock-yards, which made all / said
utter nonsense. In another case the re-
porter was good enough to call upon me
two or three times. and On each occasion
1 happened to be out. He grew tired of
his efforts and published his paragraph
without seeing me. 1t began in this
way: AT last we have got live En-
glish Lord Sir Julian Goldsmid has
arrived in our city 1 was sorry for
him as his hopes in this respect were
not realized. In one city my inter-
viewer was a young Englishman who
was fond of rowing life. and had come
there for a few months during which he
had found an occupation on the princi-
pal paper of the place. In another /
hit upon man of unusual ability, and
he gave me more information than /
gave him. On the whole 1 found the
| newspaper representatives an intel
| Hgent and most polite set of men,"

CENSUS TROUBLES.

Comical Experiences Enumerators in
Central India.
In one OF the wilder districts of Ben
gal, during the census of 1881. curious
rumor got about among the Dravidian
tribes that the numbering of the people
was merely the preliminary to the
wb olesale deportation of the men to
serve as camp followers in Afghanistan
and of the women to work as leaf-pick-
ers in the tea gardens of Assam. This
silly fable, embellished with charac-
teristic but highly-indelicate details.
created general panic. Many thou
sands de serted their villages and hid
themselves in a range of forest-clad
hills, where they hoped to escape the
official enumerators. The number of the
fugitives was large enough to vitiate
the census statistics for that area,
and the day fixed for the final enumera-
ton was periously near. Something
had to be done, but any attempt to COM
pei the tribes to come in would only
have increased the panic. The district
official used his personal acquaintance
with some of the tribal headmen or
elders to induce them to meet him and
talk matters over. By explaining to
them in simple language the real OBJ
ject of the census, and laying stress on
the necessity of knowing. for the pur-
pose of relieving famine, the exact pop
ulation of a district which had within
living memory suffered from two severe
famines, he succeeded in inducing them
to exert their influence to get the people
back So effective was their action and
so readily were their orders obeyed
that within three days the villages
were again occupied, and whatever may
have been the defects of the census
in that part of the country they GER
tainly did not lie on the side of omis-
sion.
The same thing was done. only in a
more humorous fashion, by district
officer in the central provinces. Some
of his tribes took fright and ran away,
and he induced their headmen to listen
to explanations. Relying on the fact
that wagers of various kinds figure ex-
tensively in Indian folk lore. he SOL
EMMY assured them that the Queen of
England and the Emperor of Russia,
having quarreled as to which ruled over
the most subjects. had laid a big bet on
the point. He went on to explain that
the census was being taken in order to
settle the bet, and he warned his hear
ers in spirited peroration that if they
staid in the Jungle and refused to be
counted, the Queen would lose her money
and they would be disgraced forever, as
ntMnk-haram, or traitors to their salt
