Interesting Facts About the Census.

l. The first really valuable Gen.
sus of Agriculture in the United
States was taken in 1850, Of the
crops of 1849. The next enumera-
tion Of Agriculture will be taken in
June, 1900, of the products Of 1900.
9. Instead of recording several
farms on one schedule in the Twelfth
Census, as heretofore, each farm will
be accorded seperate blank, the
entries on which will not be known
to any save sworn officers of the De-
partment. No names will be publish
ed in connection with information
secured from the people.
3. Tax assessors, collectors, and
equalizers can not serve as enumera-
tors, or have access to the Census re-
turns, or to the information therein
contained.
4. There are more than 5000, 900
farms, plantations, ranches, stock
ranges, and ma cket gardens in the
United States, all Of which, for Cen,

Gold in Corn Row.

Walking along a cotton row on
Messrs. Wordsworth & Pegram's
farm to the east of the city, yester-
day morning, Emiline Lindsay,
colored girl, picked up lump of
pure gold. She showed her find to
the oyerseer of the farm, and then
brought it to the city, handing it
over to Mr.. Nj. P. Pegram, presi-
dent of the First National Bank.
The nugget is virgin gold. There is
not particle of quartz about it, and
it is as pure as if it had been fuxed
by the hand Of man. 1t is about the
size of minnie ball, and in shape
looks like a bullet that had been
flattcned by contact with some hard
object. 1t weighs 13 pennyweights.
MIR. Pegram rewarded the girl for
her find and its delivery by handing
over to her 10 silver dollars. her
delight at receiving the money was
extraordinary and resulted in the dis
closure of little romance of the
farm. Emiline is about 16 years old
and is in love. She is engaged to be
married; but only last week her
mother had told her that she could
not marry this Spring as intended,
because she had no money, but must
wait another year. When the rain
of 10 silver dollars poured into her
hands. her first thought was not of
new dress or Spring bonnet, but Of
her lover. The ten dollars, she de.
clarcd, would enable her to get mar
ried, and she hurried from the bank
to tell her intended of their good
fortune and to send him sfter u IL
censc. The wedding is to take place
to-day.
1t has always BEEN known that
there is gold on the 'oll Jones farm"
as Wardsworth & Pegram's property
is known, and several nuggets have
been picked up there; but none to
compare in size and purity with that
which hastencd the wedding Of

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent. J

Washington, April 2.-Ie is re
garded as 80 certain that the Senate
will pass the Porto Rice bill tomor-
row, when the vote will be taken,
that public interest is already trans
ferred to the House, where the result
is not so certain. The free traders
are making some pretty stiff claims
as to their ability to strike out the
tariff clause Of the bill and insert one
providing for free trade in the House,
but, investigation shows that those
claims have no better foundation
than the talk Of few members who
voted for the original tariff bill and
then became frightened by public
criticism. There is no faltering on
the part of the leaders of the msjor-
ity in the House and the chances are
that they will be able to keep the
grumblers in line f)r the bill. The
majority Of the House is always sus-
ceptible to administration influence,
AMI the whole influence of the al
ministration is being thrown in favor
Of the Porto Rican bill. Speaker
Henderson is also lending hand
and he says the bill will become a
law before tho end of the present
week.
Secretary Root says the written
instructions to the new Philippine
Commission, the members of which
will sail from San Francisco for Ma
Mia on the 18th inst, will not be
made public at presen'. Doubtless
tho really important instructions to
the Commission were given verbally
and will not be m ,de public at all
until they have been carried out.
At least, that is the opinion of til ,sc
who usually know what Is going Oh.
1t had never been suspected that
the venerable Seaator Pettus-:he
eldest man in the Sena,e-was a
humorist and wit, until he made a
thirty minute speech satirizing rhe
legal a,lvice given the Senate by a
doctor-Sena'or GIllingcr, of N. H.,
and mercilessly ridlculing the
position taken on the Porte
Rican question by the orator.

The House doesn't believe that
this government should reimburse
the British Gable Company for cx-
penses incurred in repairing the cable
t. Manila, which was cut by Dewey,
and refused to pass a bill appropri-
ating money for that purpose. Asa
matter of fact, instead of being in
jured by Dewey's act, the British
Cable Company has made many
thousands of d,llars, paid by thus
government as c,ble tolls on acc ,un.
of the Americ IN occupation of Ma

will be shooting sorapes which will

will be bad and disgraceful until the

Secretary Gage has made verbal
recommendation to the President
that a special message be sent to
Congress, suggesting legislation for
material reduction in the internal
revenue war taxes. Figures given
by Secretary Gage show that III
surplus of revenue over expenditures
for the current fiscal year already
exceeds $53, 100000 and is likely to
be largely ad'led during the last
quarter. Mr.. Gage thinks the war
taxes could be safely cut in half, and
the President has the matte. under
consideration.
