NOT TOO MANY GIRLS.

Some of the individuals who are al
ways afraid the dispensations of nature
may throw society out of gear are
troubled now over the alleged increas-
ing disparity of the sexes in the world.
BY the latest enumerationS it is found
that in all civilized lands the female
element is gaining in a notable way
upon the other. In the past decade in
Great Britain the female increase has
been 100000 in excess of the male. 1t
has been an era of peace, too. No wars
have cut any figure in killing of the
men. There are 100000 more females
than males in that country. The ex-
cess III Germany reaches a mill
ion, and the proportion is about the
same in Austrla-Hungary, Sweden and
Norway. and other European countries
tlat afford the data. In the United
States the average is still somewhat in
favor of the males. owing to the immi-
grafton OF that element; but in the older
portions OF the country the inequality
is the other way, as In Europe. In New
England and most of the Atlantic
states the males are in large minority.
country in no remote period, even if
there are no destructive wars. This ex-
cess of females is not peculiar to mod
ern times, nor can it be entirely ac-
counted for by the greater exposure of
the men to fatal disasters. When nat
ure is Intercepted, there is no other
response than reference to the OBJ
vlous fact. The pessimistic philosopher,
then, who does not accept the averment
that there is no occasion for solicitude
in an excess of good thing, asks what
is to be done about it. The recourse in
some of the twilight or more dubious
lands in other times, the destruction of
female infants, is not quite adapted to
enlightened ideas. and will not be
adopted. The problem only has trouble
some phases when it is held to be the
destiny of every woman to marry. If
there are ten young women to eight
young mer, one out Of every five of the
former msst remain single, since the
Mormon eXpedient is being discarded.
The number becomes vastly larger
when the men who choose not to marry
are deducted. There must be a growing
army of spipsters. Perhaps it is
fortunate that opportunities are being
30 multiplied for young women to sup
port themselves and be independent of
matrimony as recourse for a. Iiveli-
hood. The old-time disparagement OF
the women who never wed hardly has
an existence, and should have none.
Among their number are many of the
choicest and most lovable of the sex. 1t
is understood that, with rare exceptions,
they remain single from choice, prefer
ring the freedom and opportunities un-
welded life affords. None are more
worthy of respect and affection, or, per-
haps, fill more worthily their sphere in
the social economy.

MORE RAILROAD BUILDIN

The past year was not railroad-build-
ing period. The figures recently pub
lished show that in comparison with
some prior years it was stagnant one.
The railroad traffic of the year previous
was heavy, and the promise was had at
the inception of 1891 that it would show
still greater activity. but the total of
new lines is meager, hardly keeping
pace with the growth of population. It
was not more than 215 per cent of the
mileage at the beginning Of the year.
but that made up the robust total of
10000 miles. The railroad building of
the two or three years preceding was
from two TO three times in excess of that
of the past year. But the CONNER
cial and Industrial growth has been
very much in excess of this. and there
fore revival Of railroad extension NAV
be anticipated. With the financial
showing of the traffic interests the past
year an impulse to railroad building
may be counted upon in 1892. Local
parties interested in iron enterprises
are Jubilant over the prospects before
them, based upon the information that
enormous quantities of rails are to be
contracted for by the roads. These NAV
be largely FOR replacing those in use.
but they are taken to mean also a re-
vival of road building. The present
year will no doubt see many hesitating
railroad projects put in process of con-
struction.

l was told yesterday by E. NJ. Knox of
an episode at Interlaken, Switzerland,
where his wife and himself were guests
at the Yungfrau hotel, says New York
Press writer. They had been given
apartments on the first floor, but after a
couple of days in the house discovered
that there were finer views of the val
legs and the snowclad mountains from
the second floor. Mrs. Knox according
ly requested the landlord to change
them to the upper story, which he was
perfectly willing to do, and then this
somewhat remarkable change of COM
pliments took place:
Said Mrs. Knox: ST hope the cham
bermaid on the other floor will prove as
nice as the one on this floor"
Said the landlord: "Oh, certainly,
madame. She is very nice young
woman, who speaks French, German,
English and little American"
''But American and English are one
and the same, Mr.. Landlord"

And so he was,' said Mr.. Knox, in

Mower County Transcript.
The Sunday Pioneer Press has an ar
ticle Oh the whereabouts of MethuseIah
during the deluge. 1t is pity that any
one should write on Biblical subjects
without having read the book. The
most cursory examination of the record
would have shown that as Methuselah
was the grandfather of Noah and Noah
was 600 years old at the time of the
flood. there could be no question as to
Methuseiah's being either four or six
years old at the time of the flood. We
don't see the wit or wisdom of such
articles,

CLAY's LOVE LETTERS.

Whom They Were Written.

Burned by the Quadroon Place. to
Whom They Were Written.
Several months ago we were told of
an old lady, then living in Philadelphia,
who had been the place. of Henry Clay.
We now learn of the death of this wom-
an, and of the destruction of the
letters from Clay, which she used
to exhibit as the greatest treasures IN
her possession. She was a quadroon,
her mother Kentucky slave, and her
father having been the nephew of
George Washington. Clay saw her
first during one of his ca mpaigns in
Kentucky. She was a marvel of beauty
and her father had appropriated con-
siderable sum of money to her educa-
ton and support. This girl went to
Philadelphia and lived in all establish
ment set up for her by Mr.. Clay. To
this house would Clay repair whenever
his duties at Washington admired of
his leaving that city. After Clay's
death his place. was married to a Ger
man and they went to California. After
several years she returned widow
and lived i'll Philadelphia up to the time
of her death. To the end she retained
much of her personal beauty and all her
old Charm of manner. She was excep-
cences of the old times were full of
interest and information.
Several years ago she revisited New
Orleans, and while there she invited
Clarence King, Of New York, who hap
Dened TO be there Ell route from Mex
leo, to go with her 10 see the house
where as girl she lived in the old town.
The two walked down Canal street
toward the French market, and came
duly up to thu Clay statue. The old
lady did not know of the, existence of
this statue. Mr.. King called her atten
ton to it.
''She was overcome with emotion"
says Mr.. King. Il was never witness
to more pathetic scene. In fact. was
compelled to call carriage to take her
back to her hotel"
This old lady had forty love letters
from Clay. Just before her death she
read them all over for the last time
and then burned them. She said she
could not leave them for others ia
read-others who might miSinterpret
them. Mr.. King says that she allo wed
HIM to read many of them, for she was
proud of Clay'S regard for her. These
letters indicated that CLAY was madly
in love with her. After reading them
it was apparent that the real reason for
Clay's leaving the senate was not pollti-
cal, but was determination to follow
his beautiful placee to New Orleans,
whittier she had gone.
