THE CENSUS OF 1870.
United States. Population Then wa
Less Than .f.OOO,OOO.

United States. Population Then Was
Less Than f.OOO.OOO.
When the first census of the United
States was taken IN 1890. there were 16
states and the southwest and north
west territories. The returns fixed the
population at 3,929214. while those Of
1900 give over 76,OOO.OOO. fourteen
fold growth in ITO years.
S In the first census nothing was
sought but the number of inhabitants,
and the task was assigned to United
States marshals. who performed the
work for several censuses. In the Gen.
1sns library is record of the first GEN.
sus, which shows that the census Of
s1790 was ordered in March and COM
spleted by October. 1901, a very credita-
Bile showing when the difficulty of COM
munication is considered. The popula-
tion was divided into five classes-free
white males of 16 years and upward,
Including heads of families; free white
females, including heads Of families;
free white males under 16 years, other
persons. slaves. Fourteen enumeration
districts were mapped out Of the 16
states and the population Of the towns,
counties and states given. All Of the
states except Maine and Massachusetts
dad slaves. Virginia led with popu-
iation Of 747.61O whites and $4,000
slaves. North Carolina was second,
with $685. 751 whites and 100000 slaves.
Maryland had a population Of 422, 1855,
OF which 1O3. .O36 were slaves. The slave
population Of the northern states is
given as follows:
New Hampshire. 1853; Rhode Island,
D48; Connecticut. 2.764; New York. 21,-
324; New Jersey. 11.423; Pennsylvania.
8.237; Delaware. 8,887; Vermont. 16.
The population of the southwest ter
ritory was 35.691 whites and 3.417
slaves.
The record is full of errors in calcula-
ton and addition. but is interesting in
Showing how the population has i'll
Creased and how the art Of census tax
.in8 has developed with the population.

Speaking Of the late William Travrrs
leads me to remark that. SO far as
am personally aware. only one of the
classic suffering stories about him is
actually true. I had the honor and
happiness to reside at Newport for a
year or so once. and at the time Mr..
Travers was summer resident there.
He certainly suffered good deal. but
he did not go around habitually dis
charging staccato witticisms at the
world, as you might suppose he did
from all the stories you hear But the
one story: that I know about Is this
one:
Travers was at garden party tone
afternoon when a young lady said to
him. What time is 1t, please, Mr..
Traverse"

DEER AND COUGAR IN A Floi T
Buck's Antlers J is mi bowe'el Fierce
iioc After "a Hard stlu.gIc.

Bucks Antiers ! is mt mbowe'e Fierce
hoc After a Hard st4u.i.lc.
A fight to the death between n deer
and Il cougar was seen by two hunters
ON the north fork of Kettle river. In
the interior of British Columbia. The
contestants were II large buck and n
powerful cougar, and John Sell and y.
b. Jones, who were out on fortnight's
shooting trip, say that 1t was battle
royal.
The attention of the chance specta-
tors was attracted to the scene ut the
moment when the cougar launched
himself upon the buck from the limb
of tree. lie landed squarcly upon the
shoulders of the buck, the force of the
leap almost throwing the deer to the
ground. The buck recovered himself
almost instantly. however. and the
battle began.
Tossing his head back, the buck
poised himself for second and drove
two prongs of his antlers into the cou-
gar's body, then, with a deft swing for
ward, threw his enemy to the ground.
Leaplng backward, the head of the
herd, with lowered head awaited
second attack.
The buck had not long to wait for a
renewal Of the contest, for with roar
of pain and rage the cougar sprang up
on him. He was deftly caught upon
the antlers of the buck and hurled
high In the mir. The moment the cou-
gar struck the ground the buck was
upon him, striking savagely with his
fore feet, which cut Hike knife blades,
and driving his antlers again and
again into his enemy. But the cougar
was no passive adversary. He tore
frantically at the deer with his great
claws, until the buck had a great gap
! Ing wound In his shoulder.
Finally they separated, but only for
n second. for the cougar by this time,
blinded with blood and almost disem-
boweled, crawled forward for the final
death struggle. Game as was the cou-
gar the odds were now wholly with the
buck, and 1t did not take long to finish
the cougar, although the Inter made
desperate efforts to reach the throat Of
the deer.
The buck walked up to his fallen foe,
struck him few times with his feet,
and then. after smiling at him and sat
lsfying himself that the cougar was
dead, slowly walked away. The
hunters, with that sense Of rough JUS
tice which prevails In the hills, suffer-
ed the buck to escape unmolested by
them, agreeing that an animal which
could make such fight had earned
the right to live.

when they are knocked down. A num-
ber of strong cords, which, the inven-

secured to the lower ends of the pins.
The opposite ends of the cords are at

are operated by single foot or hand
