XOTfS UPON THE OFFICE OF'
ICXL'MERATOU UHDER 'HIE
. -CHXSU8 LA '.
Tito liroscribed dolioo oi un enumer
ator t tha Tenth Cenans, under the
Act of March 3, 1879, will, In the main,
be identical with tlioie nl aasintant
marshula at the Seventh, Eighth, and
Ninth Consnaos, under the Act ot May
23, 1K50 ; but the provisions of the
law regarding the time for which the
enumeration shall continue and the
size of enumeration district are suc h
as to make the office ol enumerator
differ very widely from that of assis
tant mnrsuul under the law roconlly
repealed.
By the Act of 1850 (Revised Slat
uteu, 1878, 5 2178) the subdivixions for
cenKUH nurprmea were not permitted to
exceed 20,000 inhabitants, unless that
limitation should causa inconvenience,
in which cnoe tho subdivisions niiiUt
bo larger. By the Act of 1879 (See
tion 11) enumeration districts are not
permitted to exceed 4,000 inhabitants
according to the census o( 1H70. It ia
the view of the Department that tho
number of inhabitants in numeration
districts should ordinarily, except in
cities and larijo towns, fall considera
bly below' tins limit. Only for the
strongest reasons should more than one
town or township, in States whoro the
clvil-lowmdiip system exists, bo com
prised In liny enumeration district.
W llin Act nf 1Rf0 assistant mar
shals' were allowed from Junel, to
November I, to complete their canvass
and make their rctuniB (Revised Stat
utes, 1878, 214!). Hy tho Act of1
187'.' (Section 10) tho month ol Juno
only is allowed lor tho enumeration of
districts, while in Cities having over
iO.ouo inhumtanls according to tho
census of 1H70, the enumeration is re
quired to bo-'taken within two weeks
from tho tirRt Monday of Juno.
(section loot the Act ol 187'J con
tains provisions relating to the com
pensation of enumerators. Tho Super
intendent of Census is authorized to
allow, in such subdivisions as he may
select, a cortain Bum, as a maximum,
lor each living inhabitant enumerated,
each death reported, each farm, shop,
etc., returned, and in such subdivisions
no account ot tho number of days of
bold-work noed he kopt.
In nil other districts II higher rates
of compensation aro fixed, tho amount
paid must not exceed U per day of ten
hours actual Held work cast ot tho
100th meridian, and tO per equivalent
day west ol that meridian.
It follows from tho provisions recited
that, instead of a servico protracted
through three, four, or five months, as
in 1850-70, tbo canvass is to lust but
lour weeks, as a maximum, in the
country, anil but two weeks in large
cities: and that tho aggregate amount
of compensation receiveitaby any enu
merator enst or tho 1 until meridian
cannot much exceed $100. ' '
It follows also that enumerators will
arnrlr wb.M I yeeoHelly. lieeej, e
are known by, practically all the per
sons thev are called to enumerate.
Enumerators under the Act of 18i9,
therefore, entoring upon service for so
short a time, and working at short
rarn'C, through a district extending in
no direction far trom their places of
residence, will not bo obliged, as was
generally tbo casa under the Act of
J8D0, to fit themselves out expensively
lor travchnr;, to close up their business
or mako arrangements for its being
carried on by others in their absence,
or to remain away much of the time,
bolh day and night, from their homes.
l''or little or nooo of tho time, will
the enumerator have hotel expenses to
meet, and for much of tho time, no
(.'barge for horso hiro and lued. 1 here
ia nothing in the requirements of the
service inconsistent with tho cnumor-
alor giving a portion of cyery day to
his ordinary business.
Tho compensation received for the
service under tho Act ot win will,
therefore, bo subject to but slight de
ductions for traveling expenses, or for
"consequential damages" on account of
ncfjfcct or even abandonment ol busi
ness. To a great degree it will be not;
a elaar addition to tho usual profits ot
business or income Horn prulccsioti.
The advantage to tbo Government
of such closo limitation of districts will
be found in the hitrh degree of local
knowledge secured. Tho numerator
knowing, as will presumably bo the
case, ovcry house and every lamily ol
the town or which he is a resident,
will be placed almost beyond the dan
cer of omissions, which are liable to oc
cur in the canvass of largor districts,
and will also bo above being imposed
ppon by lulso statements which to
stranger might appear plausible
enough.
A remark as to the qualifications of
an enumerator. Kwould notmorcly bea
wrong to the Uovornmcnt, nut It would
bo a positive cruelty to the appointoe
himscir, lor a supervisor to cooler a
commission as enumerator upon any
porson not of decided clerical apitudu
and active habits, writing trcciy, and
"good at figures." An enumerator
without those qualifications would per
form his work unsatisfactorily, not to
the liovcrnmcnt only, but to himsell.
lie would earn t- a day with dimculty
while another was easily earning 1 1,
and the result ot the more rapid work
er would, according to the experience
of the Census Ofllee, ire leas likely to
contain errors. , " '
A previous experience ol official du
ty will be found trf great service to tho
enumerator. Township assessor and
other local oflieers will often he found
to be the beeit enumerators. They are
thoroughly acquainted with tbo names,
residences, occupations, personal char
acteristics, and to a degree the history
of the inhabitants of their respective
townships, and would be almost be
yond the reach of error. Postmasters
at small oftices, the appointees ot the
I'ostofilce Department, whose time is
only partially occupied by their duties,
might also properly have a certain
preference for appointment as enumer
ators, the consent ot the Postmaster
General thereto being givon. Tbo re
plies ot this class of officers to circulars
ot inquiry from tho Census Office show
a high degree of precision on the part
ot postmasters, even at the smallest
offices, in filling out forms, tho result,
doubtless, of systematic periodical oor-
responuunce with the Department at
Washington.
Country physicians.williin the circuit
ol tbeir usual practice, would olton bt
found excellent enumerators. Tbeir
knowtedgo ot vital conditions, thoir
appreciation of the importance of trust
worthy statistics), together with their
knowedge of tbt history of families,
would combine to make returns alike
ot deaths and of the living population
from' officers of this class especially
valuable. There would also be the
practical consideration that men of
this profession are, ee) rule, already
"mentioned," and tbeir Mrvlow in the
capacity ef aoomerators would involve

MAN SOLDIERS.
Dr. Rubs tells a story of a Hungarian
officer who was severely, though by no
means fatally, wounded in tbe field ol
Sadowa. He was fust bleeding to
death, however, when tbe Surgeon
came to bim, and might bave been
saved had be not obstinately rcfuBCd

held something very tightly in his
hand, which be pressed convulsively
to bis breast. Presently be began to

has done me no good ! threw away a
piece of pnper, and the next morning
expired. The paper was found to be
a talisman, bearing some written char
acteis which wero quite unintelligible.
Tbo poor fellow trusted in its super
natural power until aid by natural
means was out of tho question, and
tben cast it away witb a pang ol de
spair. Many a similar agonizing dis
coveiy was made during the war ot
1870 71, too late lor the learner to
profit by tho experience. After tbe
battle of Worth u particular, a great
number of tulismaits, charms ana tho
like were picked up closo to the corpses
ol those who bad clung lo them until,
in their last agony, tbey bad lost faith
in their healing virtue and bad flung
tbem away. It must not be supposed,
however, that the Gorman soldiers as a
class are given to this kind of supersti
tion. Jt was found, on investigation,
that there was a closo relation between
education and the existence nf such
beliefs. The provinces which wore
in tbo lowest state as regards educa
tion gave the largest contingent of
Ihoso who were thus credulous. Talis
mans, charms, letters of exemptions,
eto , were found in largest proportion
tmongrccruils from the Polish provin
ces when education is at tho lowest
point. Thus, taking tho quotas of the
army from the various parts of the em
pire, the percentage of those who could
neither read nor wnto was as follows :
Hcbbo DarmBtadt, 0 5; Uesso Casse),
09; Wurtomburg, 0 12; Frankfort
and Schleswig Holslein, 0.18 ; Saxony,
0.49 ; Rhcnisb Provinces, 0.77 ;
Lauenburg, 0.03; Brandenburg, 0.80;
Pomerania, 1.18; Westphalia, 1.88 j
Silesia, 3.4 ; Polish Provinces, 12.58 ;
Posen, 14.73. In those ports of Prus
sia which were formerly part of Po
land soveral circumstances have con
tributed to keep alive some of the
rudest forms ot superstition. The
chat. co of langtiago has had something
to do in tbs manor ; tbe low state of
religion and the little contact people
have had with the world at large have
also contributed. Nowhere does the
bear leader drive to profitable a trade,
by way of expelling tbe devil from cat
tle stalls and protecting geese and
swine Irom bis Influence, as there ; and
in few parts do witches need closer
looking after or more careful circum
venting. No wonder, therefore, that
recruits from those- provinces put
faith in amulets and charms, and car
ried with them "letters" to protect
them Irom hostile swords and' bullets.
The commonest form ol Freidbriol is a

THOUGHTS FOR TEACHERS.
Never bo hasty in word or action.
Labor and brains conquer all things.
Teach both by precept and exam
ple. Labor diligently for self improve
ment. Never let a known fault go unno
ticed. Encourage parents to visit the
schools.
lie prompt in beginning and in dis
missing. Bo slow to promise, but quick to
perform.
Never let your pupils sec that they
can vex you.
Teach self-government'; it is the
only government.
What in lifo is more beautiful than
happy human faces.
Speak grammatically to your pu
pils ; speak kindly, too.
Never be slow to commend a pupil
for good work or deportment.

should road and communicate to bis
pupils perhaps have tbem commit ex
tracts to memory. Our object is lo
show the scholars the value of educa
tion and what leading minds say about
it. Too many children do not under
stand what they are sent to school for,
and some have tho idea of tbe boy who
saw t pertormanee at a circus, and re
marked aggnevedly,. "I d like to do
that; but ray folks they make me go
to school, snd are determined I shsn't

Education when it works anon a

There is an impression among peo
ple who talk and write that tbe artaof
conversation bos died or is dying out;
that thero are not as many remarka
ble talkers in tbe world as there were,
and tbat the present generation will
leavo no such records ol brilliant con
versation as some of its predecessors
bave done, we suspect mat me im
pression a sound one, and that for
uino reason, not apparent on the sur
face, less attention baa been bestowed
upon tho art of talking tban formerly.
Il may be that tbe remarkable dovelop-
ment of tho presa, which has given op
portunity for expression to everybody,
witb a great audience to tompt the
writer, bos drawn attention ftotn an
art demanding great skill, wilb only
the reward of an audience always limit
ed in numbers, and an influonco quite
incommensurate with tbe amount of
vitality expended.
Still, there aro doubtlesa many who
would like to be good talkers. Social
importance and consideration are )cr-
hutis moro easily won by tbe power or
good talking tban by any other means,
wealth and tbo ability lo keep a good
bouse excepted. A really good talker
is always at a social premium, so tbat
a knowledge of tho requisites of good
talking will be ot Interest to a great
many bright people. For it must be
confessed thai men's ideas of tbe art
are very crude and contused. When
we talk ot "tbo art ot conversation
people do not know what we mean.
Tbey do not know what tbo art is, or
bow It may be cultivated; or, indeed,
tbat il is anything more than natural
knack.
Tbe first requisite of a good talkor
is genuine social sympathy. A man
may not say, out of some selfish mo
tive of personal policy, "Go to : I will
become a good talker." Ue must en
joy society and bave a genuine desire
to serve and please, n e have all seen
lh talker who talks for his own pur
poses, or talks to ploaso himself. He
is the well-known character tbe talk
ing bore. The talker who gets himaelf
up for show, who plans his conversa
tions for the evening, and crams for
tbem, becomes intolerable. lie loo-
lures ; ho docs not converse ; for there
is no power of a talker so delightful
aa that ol exciting others to talk aod
listening to what bis own inspiring and
suggestive utteronco havo oalled lorth.
tienuino social sympathy and a hearty
desire to pleaso others are necessary
to produce such a talkor as this, and
no other is tolerable. Social sympathy
is a natural gift, and there is a combi
nation of other gifts which constitute
what may be called esprit, that are
very essential to a good talker. This
combination includes individuality,
fact and wit tbe talents, aptitudes
and peculiar characteristic charm
which enable a man to use tbe mate
rials of conversation in an engaging
way of saying good things, as well as
of managing conversation based on his
ffprif.
Yet it is true that there are no good
talkers wbo depend upon tbeir natural
gills and such material as tboy get in
the usual iiilurcbangcs of society. For
the materials of conversation we must
draw upon knowledge No man can
be a thoroughly good talker who does
not know a good deal. Social sympa
thy and the "gill ot gab" go but a
short way toward producing good con
versation, though we hoar a great dual
of Ibis kind of talk among tbo young.
Sound and exact knowlodge is the
very basis of good oonvorsalion. To
know a great many things well is to
have in band the best and most relia
ble materials of good conversation,
There is nothing like abundance and
oxactnessof knowledgewilh which to
furnish a talker. Next to this, per
haps, is familiarity with polite litera
ture. Tbe faculty of quoting from tbs
best authors is a very desirable one.
Facts aro valuable, and thoughts per
haps, are quito as valuable, especially
bs they are more stimulating to the
conversation of a group. Tho talkor
wbo deals slone in tacts is quite likely
to hare tho talk all to himself, wbile
the man who is familiar with thoughts
nd ideas, as he has lound tbem em
bodied in literature, becomes a stimu.
ator of conversation in those around
bim. Familiarity with knowledge and
with tho product of literary art tan
not be too much insisted on at the
furniture of good conversation.
A HooTBLACK ON HlB TRAVELS. A
New York "bootblack" has found his
way to Richmond, and says be intends
