The conntry was divided into 150 districts, over each of which was placed a supervisor to direct the work. The supervisors selected the enumerators, and there were of these 31,850. One hundred and fifty-seven persons were emplove d as interpre ters. The preliminary work of getting the to. tal count and the population of cities is finished and has been published. The census burean, under General Francis A. Walker, is pushing the work of com- piling the census, and the indications are that this vear will see it finished. General Walker more of 4 business man than the average government offi- cial. He will not nurse the job. Con. gress gave him diseretionary power, and he showed his tact, Lustesd of having one high-priced politician, he hires two clerks, thus pushing the work to an early completion and saving money. On the first of February the commissions of over J00 clerks expired, and all were reap- pointed but eightee n, who were inefli- cient. The force in the census burean, including all grades, now numbers 1,364, of which 610 are females.

It was lying upon the ground, its feet upper- most, in such a way that he had no doubt that it had fallen a victim to some vicious dog. Around it, feading unsuspectingly, was a flock of young birds. The apparent lifeless eat was within range of the vision of the ob- server for some time, and just when he was thinking how much easier it would be foran animal to feign death and cateh a bird by deceiving it than by slipping up to it, Le was astonished to see the cat suddenly roll over and grab one of the feathered tribe that was very near. The other birds flew away a hun- dred yards or so and alighted. only made one or two mouthfuls of the game, windward of the birds, laid itself again, and once more played success fully the dead dodge.

Bibliomania originated in the Nether- lands at the elose of the sixteenth cen- tury, whence it spread to England, raging violently there, and more recent. ly appearing in France and this coun. try, The Bible has attracted any num- ber of collectors. The British museum has the largest lot of different editions, thongh the late James Lenox, founder of the Lenox library in New York, nearly equaled it. The highest price ever paid for a single volume was at the sale of the Duke of Roxburghe's library in London (1812), when the Marquis of Blandford, in a spirited competition with Lord Spencer, paid for a copy of the first edition of the * Decameron,” published at Venice by Valdarfer in 1471, a sum nearly equal to $11,300 of our money. When the marquis’ library was put up at auction, Lond Spencer tried again, and secured the precious tome for about $4,600, about $6,000 less than he had bid- den seven years before. Nasser ed-deen, Shah of Persia, has an of the ** Arabian Nights” on wihich artists worked under his special d rection for ten or twelve vears, until it cost $100,000. Henri Boulard, literary executor of La Harpe, spent a fortune in buying editions of Racine. Soleinnes gathered all the dramatic pieces that had ever been presented, going so far as to purchase books in languages which he could not read. A well known New Yorker gave, some yoars since, $2,600 for a copy of the Mazarin Bible, supposed to have been printed in 14656. The favorite books of biblioma- nines have been Delphini and first edi. tions of the classich, editions that ap- peared in the infancy of typography, Aldus ; Comino, of Padua; Bodoni, Mattaire, Fonlis, and Bardou. There is no end to the vagaries of book fanciers. The defects of volumes became as great wi inducement to ownership as any beauties, Dibdin (Thomas F.,) who for rare and curious books, has pub- lished a volume on the subject, ot La Bruyere has, in his ‘‘Caracteres,” a chapter exclusively devoted to them, Oddly enough, the passion seems to be increasing throughout civilization. e—— If a cobbler is guilty of ‘the crime of stick to his last, Camel's Hair For some five or six years i, says 1 quanti- tien of camel's hair have been shipped to this country to seek o market, and it has been utilized in several ways, but | not to such an extent as bas been usu. ally imagined. Camel's hair consists of soveral grades qualities, from the wool that lays close to the animal's hide to the long, shaggy hair which covers portions of the body, All this hair or | wool is sheared from the animal the sme as wool is from sheep, and packed in bales for tmusportation. Heretofore * all this material has come from Western Asia, Arabia and Persia, from whence it | was sent westward through Russia to | mostly to Liverpool and London, from whence it found its way to all parts of The fiber, though long, is | coarse and strong, and makes dress goods for winter wear of a somewhat | rough and shaggy appearance. It is only woven into cloth, however, with a wool body, us its texture would not ad- mit of its being used alone. The coarser Lair and the wool whieh accompanies it | are used in the manufacture of carpets, | and are found well adapted for that | purpose. Though popular to a certain extent, the use of camel's hair in the United States has been quite limited; but an effort is now making to import it | in larger quastities, and to find new | uses for it. The importations bereto- | fore through Russia have been expen sive, but recently large quantities Pen been obtained from Chins, and recently | the first invoice, consisting of one ton, started from Bt. Louis overland, Oces- sionally small lots have mirived from China in sailing vessels around Cape Horn; but the trade in this way has been so insignificant that no notice Las been taken of it, and the chief supply has, up to the present, been had by way of Europe. Now, however, it is found that the direct trade with Chins is profitable, and every port will be made to foster it, Since tho first of the year the arrivals of camel's hair frow all ever before, and as the thread is thought well of, some new uses will be | found for it. rn IS Poetical Proverbs, even ines, verbs: single have become pro The rank = bad bu The man's the ge Here other ! “Pleasures are like You seipe th Hower ; ‘ Address to nea stamp, id for a "that from Opies Spread wot is shed Unco Guid” is blow From his we may take ‘What party may omupuate, But know not what 's resisted,” In one stanza on Captain Grose we meet two pron erbs now in use ; “If there "s a bole in a" your coats 1 rede ye tent @ A chiel's a2 ag ve atid And faith he'll prent i un “The Vision ™ passage of this sort 8 one we notes, “Mislead by fancy's metooraay, By PRssIOLS drives ; But vet the light that Jed sstras Was light from heaven.” Alexander Pope pithily wrote ‘Trae wit is nature That oft was thought but prremsaed In his “Essay on Criticism : " To err i» haman ; to sly wutage dressed ne'er so well ex. forgive di Cowper wrote *A Tool Chntaox must pow amd they FA he {Milwsauked That wonderful remedy for rheuma tism, Bt.
