There are living at Fall lUver,

ages arc more than two hundred and
five years. The husband, Fraud
Miner, was horn in St. Mary's Camilla,
and was one hundred ami two years

The radical and fiery Robert
Tt-onis of ( Icorgia neii her approves the
proposition to prohibit the tarrying of
concealed weapons, nor does he regard
the practice as cowardly. In his own
words: "The trulh is, the way to
protect human life is to let every man
who is the aggressor know that the
man he attacks is able to defend him
self, and it will prevent tliliieulties.
They say nobody but a coward will
carry weapons. That's a lie. I know
plenty of men who carry them, and
know they are not cowards. It js jicn
erally the cowards who want you to
lay them aside so as to give them an
advantage over yo:i. A man ought to
carry arms when he thinks his life is
in danger. It is not wrong; for him to
do so, and so far as I am concerned
I will tlo it whenever I want to defend
myself."
Mr. George Conklin, a well-known
tamer of wild beasts, at St. Louis last
Tuesday went into a cage containing
two lions and a leopard. The lions
were very docile, but t he leopard was
in a had humor. No sooner had
Conklin appeared than it sprang at his
throat ami scratched him near the
right ear. lie hit the animal on the
nose with the lash of his whip several
times, but it then made another hound
and succeeded in getting one of Conk
lin's shoulders In its mouth. Fasten
ing its claws on the man's hotly it
began to crawl toward his neck.
Conklin seized it by the head and
pushed its head from him. Then he
drew his whip, and reversing it, hit
the leopard's luud with the loaded
handle several times, crushing in its
skull, and it fell lifeless on the floor of
the cage.
The Philadelphia Jivnord claims
that" the census of 1S80 will show that
we are by far the most numerous
people speaking one language on the
face of the globe. The population of
the United States will then probably
be consliierahly innw th:!ii nrty mil
lions, ami good authorities c-,1 iut.-itc
that by the end of the century t In-re.
will be nearly one hnic'i -d million
people within the present !i:;iil- of the
union. The taking of Ihe ceiih i;ni il
census will he begun about tin; iir.-t of
June, 1&80, and an eflbrt will he made
to complete it within a month. J twill
probably show the centre of popula
tion to be near Indianapolis, in the
state of Indiana. In ISiiu this centre
was on the meridian of Washington.
It hud got as far west as Pittsburg in
1810,and at the lust enumeration it
was at Cincinnati. By VJOO it will
probably reach the Mississippi river.
Washington Letter,
from mil' rPMilnr Corrcsp nnli'iit.
V.'tis-hiiiglon, I). C, May, Clh.
The lined t-dniy us to what would he
(be falo of the Army hill Wiui short
lived. It hiH been vetoed, -ami the
question, "What arc you going to do
about it?'' confronts the Democratic
Congress. Undoubtedly Hid President
has accepted the counsel of the stal
warts of his party in this matter, and
his message is entirely satisfactory to
them. It was written by Secretary
McCrary, who is the best, representa
tive of lire radical Republican clement
Inlhe Cabinet. That It was substan
tially ready before the bill ha 1 eveti
passed the Senate Is evident from the
quick time In which It is returned.
Just what will he the final octeoinc
I am not now prepared to predict with
any degree of confidence. The Re
publicans are certainly very much
elated, because they hud more than
half expected that the President would
sign the hill. The Democrats were, at
first, a little sullen and uiiccrtiiu, but
the lone of the caucus" indicates that
they are likely to stand firm and refuse
to pus the appropriation bills. They
are moving cautiously, but .show no
signs of backing down ; and, from all
I can learn through expressions of the
leaders, 1 think an early adjournment
will lie taken, leaving the unny ami
executive appropriations to be made
next winter.
lloth parties claim to he fighting for
fair elections. The position of the
Democrats is that there can be no ab
f-oiulcly fair elections while one party
has the power to use the army at the
polls, and to appoint numerous super
visors and deputy murshalstoiiiterl'ere
with voters, and with authority to
arrest opponents on sight. They
maintain that the States should have
control of till elections, those of rep
resentatives in Congress included;
that this was the ancient way of the
country, which worked satisfactorily
until JS70, and that the laws then en
acted by the Republicans were cal
culated to give that party undue influ
ence with voters; that the supervisors
and marshals are partisan agents,
exercising a corrupting and iriitatiug
iniltieiice al the polls, ami that their
uppoiiiiuiiiit is a dangerous power ol
inuii'eieiice to bo given to the party
wiiieii may happen to possess the
Fedei.,1 ( lovcrnuient. The Repub
licans, on the contrary, insist that the
Fediral Government not only lias the
right to interfere in the eomiuet oi
Congressional elections, but that the
itncrcils ol pure and live elections de
mand that this inter eiciiee .shall con
tinue; that Hie Federal power uiiall,
I y its agents, keep peace tit the polls,
control the registration, ami canvas
the ballots. As 1 have said, botli
parlies express themselves in favor of
lighting it out on this line ii'it takes
all summer.
Several eases of three-card monte
swindling ! ave been reporte-.l.tely to
our local authorities, and stranger,
visiting Washington are warned
against thescsharpers. It is singular
ilial people will continue to be taken
in by a swindle as old as this, and one
that has been so often ami thoroughly
cxjiiB-ii. i wo or liiree days ago two
gentlemen from Iowa, on their way to
Texas, slopped over to see the sights
o" the Capital, and fell in with some
m Jiit i nu'ii who represented themselves
as guides, ami succeeded in going
through them to the extent of i-lo-i
The swindlers approach strangers and,
pretending to be guides, show them
about a little, and then, upon one pre
text or another, entice them across
the river, where, with Hie aid of
accomplices, cards are introduced ami
the swindle executed- If the experi
ence of others will not suffice to keep
men of ordinary sense from trying
their hands at tiiis sort of thing, their
only safety is in keeping out of the
company of agreeable strangers en
tirely. The surest evidence that spring has
came again is the inevitable circus.
Ami liolhiiigon earth sets Washington
as wiltl as does one of these travelling
combinations. This week we have
had Cooper, Bailey ii Co.'s 'Loudon
Circus and Menagerie, ami it took the
whole community by storm. It is pro
verbial, in rural towns, that people
who never go anywhere else during
the year, will shut up house ami spend
their last half dollar for a circus
ticket; hull do not believe there is
another large city in the wholecountry
that can turn out such a crowd for
that kind of a performance. Tuesday
night the canvass was tilled till there
wasn't standing room left, ami 2,0ijt
people were turned away after the
management refused to sell any more
tickets. Congressmen and attaches of
foreign diplomatic corps were num
bered among the throng. The electric
light with which the monster tents
are illuminated was one of the atirac
tionsj but I observe that even our
national solons appealed to be inter
ested in other features of the show.
