THE CENSUS.
Some Facts Disclosed by Super
lntendent Porter.

" Tell me, Mr.. Porter" said news.
paper man, "somc of the mosl striking
things you have discovered in your
collection OF tie census"
Well, one" replied Mr. Porter, "is
that the people are leaving the country
and going to the cities, and another is
that our native American women are
decreasing in numbers year by year Ms
mothers of children. During the past
ten years the cities have been CROWNS 9
at the expense Of the country, and in
Massachusetts, for instance, fully 70
per cant. nf the people live in cities.
Ia 1920 only only one man in 20 lived
in town, and in 1890 twenty nine peo-
pie out of every 80 In the United
States lived in the country and away
from Villages In 1860 ons man in six
was living in the cities. Ten years
later one man In every five lived in the
cities, and now, out of every 10 men,
women and children in the United
States, three of these are living in
cities or villages.
THE BOOMING WEST.
=" Where has been our greatest in
crease during the past 10 years."
In the West," replied Mr.. Porter.
"The Pacific States and Territories
grew very rapidly and the increase in
the Western States has been about 60
per cent. The North Atlantic States
have grown about 10 per cent. and the
North Central Statts about % per
cent. believe that the average per.
centage Of increase is, in round num-
bsrs, about 25 per cent and the country
= growing right along.
How SOME STATES HAVE GROWN.
Florida has increased A per cent,
Arkansas 40 per cent, and Texas 40
per cent. Kansas has increased AZ per
cent, Virginia nine per cent, and Ken.
lucky 12 per cent. New York has in
creased II per cent. in the last 10 years
aad it has grown about as much pro
psrtionately as Iowa has, and little
less proportions,sly than Georgia and
LOUISIANA. And so il goes over the
whole Union. We shall give the --latest
facts about all the States and we show
that u number of the States have
doubled In population. Washington
is five times as big as it was in 1880
and Idaho has increased its population
two and one-half times.

UNCOVERED A MAMMorH GAVE.

Workmen Blast the Cover Off of a
Mysterious Opening in a Cliff.
CoNNELLsvLLE, Pa, Jan. 25.-CoL
" Andy" Stewart has hole on his Stewart
township farm which threatens to become
famous The hole is yet mystery. Its
Dimensions and extent are unknown, but.
nevertheless, there is enoug b of it to excite
no little interest in the vicinity, and in the
county as well. The discoverer of this mys-
FERROUS cavern is William s. Kelly, a con-
tractor, who is operating a stone quarry on
Col Stewards farm.
A few days ago Peter Martin and John
Cox, under the direction of Kelly, shot off
blast in the base of the cliff from which
the stone is taken. When the smoke from
the blast was cleared away and the work
men went to the cliff to examine the work
Of the blast they found a large piece of
rock, about feet long, 2 feet wide and 2
feet thick, had been torn out Of the base Of
the cliff, revealing the opeling to a cave or
chasm so deep and dark that they could not
see the bottom OF 10.
With fear and amazement the men stood
around the oavern's mouth, not daring to
venture near it. At last John Cox pro-
duced a rope 100 feet long He tied
lantern TO the end OF 1t and let it down the
entire length and still found no bottom.
The lantern swung on the rope like
pendulum. Another rope was tied to the
first one, and down went the lantern fifteen
or twenty feet more. when the light went
out. They made another trial and found
the bottom nearly 200 feet below the sur
face. For about the first fifty feet the sides
were only six feet vide, when suddenly
they opened out TO a large room of circular
form and some thirty feet in diameter. The
sides and base OF the cave are composed of
ight-colered rock, resembling marble,
which glistened in the light OF the lantern.
The intelligence of the discovery was by
this time widespread in the community,
and large crowd of people soon collected
at the scene Col. Stewart himself was one
OF the curious observers He examined the
cave as best he could, and finally offered
any one present $50 to descend on a rope to
the bottom and explore it. None present
was daring enough TO make the attempt,
and thus far the secrets of the cavern are
unknown.

State. and the fine old Arkansas gentleman
in Albert Pixies poem.
81 was present the night Sergeant s.
Prentiss, the whig representative in con-
gress from Mississippi, who was then at
the zenith OF his fame as the foremost
whig orator in the land, play ed his great
faro game and lost his fortune il a single
night. He came In about midnight, flushed
with wine, fr m dinner at which Henry
Clay was one Of the guests. As he took his
seat in front Of the green baize he said:
feel as if could win the stars from
heaven tonight His stake was a 81 900
bill He bouf ht $500 worth Of chips The
play began between ~ and ! o'clock in the
morning. He played at first with marvel
Gus luck. At the first deal Prentiss was
winner Of 5000. At the next deal he called
in the box, 'acs-trey' for $1,000 He
picked up 5000. The other players
now cashed in their chips and watched
the duel between the dealer and Prentiss. he
played with changing luck. but at 8 o'clock
in the morning was $40. 600 ahead. The
luck then turned. The tickle goddess ceased
to favor the congressman aud sided with
the dealer. Prentiss lost heavily until at
daylight his 81 900 stake and his $40 900 Of
winnings had disappeared, and he was in
debt 10 the bank $4,000. Then and
there O couveyancer was sent for. aud the
Mississippi orator decided to Ned Pendleton
four valuable warehouses which he owned
at Vicksburg on the banks Of the Mis-
sissippi, and which were worth at least
10000. Pendleton was satisfied with his
winnings. But before six months had
elapsed the warehouses and the land on
which they stood were washed away by
spring freshet which overfiowed the banks
of the great father of waters.
1.-THE next year Prentiss removed TO New
Orleans, where he successfully practiced
law. but died soon afterward from the effects
of swallowing a piece Of a broken cham
payne glass at a symposium at the st.
Charles hotel.
There never was another plunger at a
faro table who equaled Prentiss in his
desperate play. Edward Wolcott, the sena-
tor from Colorado. comes nearest to him in
later days, for it was Wolcott who won
81, 900 at Monmouth Park on the races and
lost it in the same day at Phil Days Penn

now living. On Christmast day the major
vss IS years of age. He was born in Prov
idence, r. l., and educated in the hardware
business. His passion for short cards, how
ever, soon led him to desist from the pro-
sale business of selling hatchets and hinges,
and he found his way to New York, as a
dealer in faro bank, during Buchanan's
admins ration. Thence he drifted to
Washington and became a friend of Ned
Pendleton.
When the war broke out he found his
sympathies were with the southern side He
became major in the confedera; Q service,
but he soon showed his preference for the
faro layout over the arduous duties of a
soldier in the field. and did land Office
business in Augusta, Ca, during the last
years Of the war as a faro banker, where he
was worth 5000, 900 in confederate money

A celebrated English writer, upon visit

observe that Americans live too fast They

hence the tendency to smother it and sub
ordinate it to other branches of the mind.
