Judge Priest.

We see it stated that Judge
Sam Priest, of st. Louis, will
be a candidate for the Senate
to succeed Vest. He is a very
able man, and has climed up
the ladder rapidly. Raised in
Rails county, a kinsman of DR..
Priest, late of Shelbyville, he
secured good education, and
commenced the practice of law
about % years ago in Moberly.
and he was soon recognized as
a superior practitioner. Then
the Wabash Railroad Company
employed him and took him
down to st. Louis. President
Cleveland appointed him Judge
of the United States Court, bu.
he soon resigned, as his law
practice paid him better than
the salary OF judge. He is now
employed in many of the most
important cases. -Shelbina

Reflections of a Bachelor.

With some women 1t is find a
baby and lose a husband.
When a couple are in love the
only thing that is silIier than
their conversation is their LET
tiers.
When a man has won the APP
proval of her father and moth
er he has made 4 good start
toward not winning the APP,
proval of the girl.
When a girl forgets herself
and speaks of something that
happened a dozen years ago she
always adds hastily that even
as the tiniest little thing she
had a marvellous memory.
A stitch in time starts a new
dressmaker's bill.
If a girl has nice wavy hair
she can forgive most anything
in the girl who has not,
There is forty million miles
of difference between being
glad you are married and being
just not sorry.
When women learn not to get
off moving cars backward it
will be time enough for them to
begin thinking about their
right to vote.
1t is funny that though pref.
ty nearly everybody is at the
bottom of the ladder of success
that is where the greatest room
is for more. New York Press.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.

Predictions based on the census Of
1890 that the negro population OF the
United States would gradually de-
crease in proportion to the population
are not borne out by the statistics Of
the present cencus. The negro popu-
lation In the United States in 1850 was
11.03 per cent of the total decrease
from 1872 per cent. in 1880. This year
the percentage will be somewhat less
than II, though It Is impossible to give
exact figures now. In some Of the
southern states the negro population IL
increasing faster i'll proportion than the
white. In the border states there seems
to be little falling on and in the north
ern states, to which the tide Of Euro
pean Immigration. flows strongest,
tire white poulatiOn Is increasing more
rapidly, though this does not hold good
in some special localities, such rs cities
in which the negro servants. especially
men and women.
The census office has issued bulles
tin concerning the urban population
Of the country. ut shows that 2S,411--
Cos people In the United States live In
cities and towns of over 1900 popula-
ton. This is 37.3 per cent. OF the en-
tlFe pOpuldt1OO, gun u uiihoSk ANS
per cent. since the census Of 1880,
when the percentage was 32.9. Com
pared with the census Of 1880, the re-
port shows q gain In the urban popu-
lation Of the country OF more than a
third In percentage and Of consider
ably more than double in actual num-
bers. There were In 1880 $50 places
Of more than 1000 population each,
with an aggregate population OF T.
936. .11O. or 25.s per cent. Of the popula-
ton. About one-half Of the urban pop
ulation Of 1900 was contained in cities
Of over 10000 people. There were
thirty eight Of those cities, with a
combined population OF II, ,2S $40.
There are now 1,l5S places Of over
1900 people in the country, Ms against
806 In 1880. The population Of the
District Of Columbia IL regarded NJ
urban. In the other states and terri
tories the percentage Of people living
In cities and towns, as compared with
the entire population OF the states,
ranges from DIG in Rhode Island to
2-5 in Indian territory. The percentage
OF the population OF Colorado living In
