studded with metal knots over the DOR
sal portion of the hand.
In some of the illustrations, however,
it is represented as o glove, studded
with metal md fastened to the hand
by thongs. In mnnv instances the blow
OF the cestus seems to have been par
ried by the cestus of the opponent. but
iu other illustrations the contest il
represented as being almost exactly
similar to what is denomihated by our
own professors OF the noble art as q
straight counter. Though the metal
backing of the restns was usual, it
was by no means o necessary feature of
the contest.
The injuries inflicted by the cestus
were often terrible: teeth were knocked
out, noses were broken, and the ears
were SO exposed to injury that cele-
brated boxers were represented in stat
uary wit h mutilated ears. Deathitself
often occurred. Closing inand wilfullv
killing were prohibited. and il the latter
was proved the victor's crown was
awarded to the dead opponent. When
a combatant acknowledged himself
beaten lie signilled his defeat by hold
ing up one hand.
The most arduous and dangerous OF
nil the gaines was the terrible panera-
tiuf1. In this contest the combntants,
naked and oiled. fought nguinst each
other i'll personal conflict. and the
contest continued until one of the COM
| batants declared himself vanquished.
According TO Pausanias it wase vidently
| the best fixed OF all tile contests, for he
says of it IN one instance that "for the
future they took care that neither the
pentatblon nor the horse races should
stand in the way OF the pan. ratium.''
To win the prize both in the boxing
and in the pancratium on the same day
was considered tile highest honor to be
won at Olympia. Strangling. striking
with the hands, knees and elbows,
twisting and dislocatics the limbs.
breaking the fingers and toes and all
practices except biting and kicking
were allowed.
The cestus. of course, was not used,
since the hands were required in grasp
ing one's antagonist. 1t was really 70
cont est for personal supremacy, and to
engage in it an athlete must be OF the
greatest size and courage and of the
most symmetrical development. They
fought standing. but il they fell the

welcome impetus. Grant, being nn
Illinois man, knew Mr.. Armstrong and
what he had already accomplished and
also knew the value OF his enterprise.
Vice President CoIfax, who, before his
election to that high office. had been
for years chairman of the House COM
mittee on postotfice and post roads, and
had been an earnest coadjntor with Mr..
Armstrong in his labors, was in u posi-
tion to reader him greater service.
Then it was that Mr.. Armstrong was
permitted to have full scope in the
elaboration OF his plans for the service.
lie recommended the consolidation OF
the old route agent service with the
modern railway postal service. under
the title OF railway mail service. This
was done. He recommended also the
allotment OF the country into six
divisions, u superintendent to be at the
head of each. This was also carried
out, and Mr.. Armstrong was made
general superintendent in April, 1869.
Thus the railway mail service rose
and expanded as we know it to-day. In
its greater proportions. the logical ac-
compartment OF the nations develops
ment. it is the counterpart OF the sys-
tenn us Mr.. Armstrong left it when lie
SO suddenly died. Naturally the in
crease in population and correspond
ence caused a like elaboration in many
OF the details of the service. But in
outline and in most OF the more in-
portant details it is now what it was
when Mr.. Armstrong was at it's head.
Now many of the most valuable feat
ures of the postal car service which
Mr.. Armstrong originated have spread
across the Atlantic Ocean and been
taken up by the nations OF the old
world. Would John Bull, with his con-
servative notions. ever have originated
methods? trow not. Yet postal cars
are now running throughout the Brit

Ths census bussau has IN courae o.
preparation bulletin upon the sub.
3sct Of foreign. national and county
Indebtedness. The information con-
cerning the indebtedness OF foreign
countries was furnished by the proper
administrative officers of the several
nations at the request OF the census
Office for publication in the reports OF
the census, as preliminary to the
statistics OF the indebtedness OF this
country.
The indebtedness Of foreign ma
tions, in 1890 was 1926, ,636, ,O75, $40
an increase in ten years OF two bill
ion dollars, while that OF the United
States was $915,062, ,112, a decrease
OF a billion dollars. Tho total debt
OF states and territories in 1890 was
1928. 1O7, sS8.
Relatively the burden OF debt falls
far heavier upon the inhabitants OF
the principal foreign countries, ex-
cept those of Germany, than upon
those of this country: France In
1889 had debt per capita OF $116.85,
and it is understood that this does

unstated but large amount. Great
Britain, though slowly decreasing its
debt, had burden at that time OF
$S7.69 per capita; Russia, $30.79;
Austria Hungary. 1884; Italy. $76:O6;
Belgium. $631O; the Netherlands.
| 1886, while that Of the United
States was but S14.43. and OF its in
debtedness nearly one-half was made
of MISUNDERSTANDING notes.
The public debt of the United
States shows a gratifying decrease
within the last ten years, the burden
per capita having been reduced from
| $38. 33 in 1880 to $l4.63 in 1890.
The Indebtedness OF the states and
territories has also decreased SGT,
21S, 76O during the decade, reducing
the per capita from 1919 in 1880 to
| 1886 in 1890. 1t should be remem-
bered, however, that OF the total de-
crease OF state debt rs reported there
has been scaled by refunding in some
OF the Southern states about $2o, ,5OO,-
600.
The indebtedness of the counties,
though increasing somewhat in the
decade, has not kept pace with the
increase OF population, and the per
capita has been reduced from g. Al
in 1880 to 1927 in 1890.
Aggregated the national. state and
county indebtedness per capita shows
a decrease from $3.50 in 1880 to
| $40. 46 in 1890. or moro than one
half. and this decrease has been
brought out mainly by voluntary tax
alton. The aggregate surplus re-
ceipts of another decade like one just
passed would relieve the country
from nearly all national. state and
county Indebtedness could they be
distributed for the purpose.
