HE SCOUNED A 1UUUE. Colonel Gray was a member of tho Xoglslaturo two or tbreo ,yoar3 ogo, when a very earnest effort .was being mado to pass a law relieving railroads from certain taxes, Tbe railroad com panies had their agents In tlio lobby, and they wero spending money pretty freely buying the votes of tho members. One day a lobbyist met Colonel Gruy in tho reading-room of h(s hotel, and tho following conversation ensued : Aa'T "Colonel, I don't know how you feel about this railroad tax law, but I am very anxious to have it go through, and If jou will voto for it " Col, "But I am not going to voto for it. It's a dead swindle on tho peo plo of the State." A.' I was going to say. that if you will voto for it, you'll confer a person al favor on mo." 0." Well, I'm not going to do It." A. " Ami If I can do anything for you it a little matter of toOp would bu of any uso to you, I'd bo glad to offer it as a permanent loan, in fact as a gift." C. (Indignant)." What sir I You attempt to bribe, me ? You insult mo by offering mo money I What do yon wea'i, sir ? What do you mean ? Be tray my constituents, bring dishonor upon my family, sell tho reputation that I hold dearer than life for money ? l'vo a notion to kick you down stairs, you insolent sculllon.l" A. " lleally, Colonel, I had no idea 0. (grandly)." It makes no differ ence, Mr, what you had or what "you had'utl You cometo 'me, tho repre sentative of a largo and inllucntlal com munity ; to me, scut hero to look after public Interests, to protect popular rights, to purify tho sptings of legisla tion and you havu tho unblushing au dacity to ask me to cell myself for a paltry $500 I It is monstrous 1 bitter ly monstrous !" A." I dld'nt think It would striko you as being " C. (sarcastiraly). " You did'nt, hey? Dld'nt suppose I would object to sacrificing everything that an honor able man considers good and holy, at 'the bidding of a rascally railroad com pany that wants to rob tho State 1 You don't know me, sir I You are not ac quainted with me or you would liavo been awaro that I reeard.such an offer with loathing and horror, that I spurn, it with scorn and contempt, that I de spiso the reptile who crawls to my feet Jto mako It." A." Oh, very well. You need'nt accept If you don't want to. There's no necessity for howling so about It." (. " No necessity for. Now look a-hcre, I don't want to hurt your feel ings ; you seem to mean well enough. -But rtally you dld'nt suppose a man liko me would vote square' against his honor, and violate his uftth for a beastly little loo of 650(1, did you ?' Did you really? A." I duuno. All tho others camo down for that figure,' 0.-1." Th'ey did, hey ? Well, I want you to distinctly understand that I'm not olo or that kind. Not by a'big shot. 'But I'll' tell yon what I'll do now. I scorn your bribe, and I'lJ die before I'll touch a cent ot it, but l'vo got a noto for (C50 coming duo to-day ln-bank, and if you'll just quietly tako u up anu pay my montirs board bill at 'this hotel, I'll voto for tho railroad tax law every time she comes up this winter." 'I lien tho agent smiled, and tho col. oner went to the Houso feeling as' virtu ous as a Puritan. THE WOBLD'S POPULATION. A paper was read before tho Man chester Statistical Society a short time ago, calling attention to tho' research es of the German statisticians, Behni and Wagner, with respect to tho popu lation ot tho world. Ot the many esti mates ot the numbers of Inhabitants of pur globe, nono are accounted trust worthy. ' In 1083, Vo'rslus t-Btlmated ttiat there- were 5,000,000,000 Bebui and Wagner set down the number at tho present tlmoat 1,801,030,000. 'ilia subjects ot Victoria aro rated at 800, 000,000. Russia has a population of 82,000,000. India supposed to bu tho most populous country on tho globe, has piobably 300,000,000 Inhabitants, pblna is said to have 400,000,000 luliab tants, but the estimate is undoubtedly grossiy-exagceiated. Tho population tf South America has been checked by internal discord. In Paraguay there Is puiu.io uitve ueen bu actual joss or 337,000. An esttmate based upon tho growth of Great Britain and the United Pitej- gives to the former country in a year 2,000 a population of 91,000, 0. and to tbe latter of 510,000,000. WHAT GOLD WILL 1)0. A Western paper ridicules the'idea that military forceB can prevent min ing adventurer from penetrating and f' inspecting In (he Black Hills region, p this peculiar stylo : Keeping ten'thoutaud famUhed cows pu), of an unfenccd field ot a hundred squaro piles of a succulent corn In July) would be mere pastime compared wlta'thls feat yjlilch the hero of Allan, ta undertakes. It Ib more like an at tempt to drive tlio grans-hoppers from Minnesota and Nebraska. Let gold from the rude rockers ' of the Black Hills rivers bo' actually exhibited in paying quantities In the Chamber of uommerce of Chicago, and the good Peneral Sherman may proclaim, threat en, declaim and fulminate, lu the name ot tho Irresistible United States of America, but fie can no moro stop tho emigration to tboso tempting Dakota knobs than he can keep running water from running down bill. T he Invaders would continuo to hurrah for Sherman, and respect tbe authority ot Uncle Sam, but they would obey neither. Gold Is an Irreslatable magnet. It Is an uni versal fetish, and men render tq It pri mary allegiance. A lady In a menagerie being asked why tbo to closely scanned tbe ele phant with her opera glass, replied that she was " looking for tho keyholo of Ms trunk." jJ- IlElXItlAN & CO., BANK STREET, Leb.igb.ton, Pa., MILLERS and Dealers In Xlour&Jeecl.
