The morning brought no relief, how eron, 18; Wallace, 11; Wright, 1; Marshall, The Credit Moblller Investigation. very active In securing space and providing accommodations for exhibitors from the . J. persona an liable to suffer from severe freezing. - It ia well, therefore, that all should know how to ear - properly for one who is near perishing from exposure to intense cold, or wno baa severely irozem some portion of his body. The first effect of an exposure of thS whole body to severe cold, is an almost irresistible impulse to sleep, which, it yielded to, ia soon succeeded by coma or lnaenaibilirT. and death. During this eomatom state the body is pale and cold. uie piuae uu uie reepirsuQU are uuiw imperceptible, and the pupils are dilated; but the limbs are flexible as long at Ufa remains, unless the degree of cold be very great indeed. Person! who navu been exhausted by hunger, watching or fatigue, acd those who indulge in spiritu- ous liquors, exhausted as they are by perpetual stimulation, are much more liable to suffer from cold than are others. , Whenever a person has been exposed to a great degree of cold, and seems likely to succumb to its Influence, the indications for treatment are, 1st. To induce mod- - ; crate reaction, and restore the circula- tion and the sensibility. 2d. To avoid excessive reaction, which would surely lead to violent and dangerous inflamma- tion. To fulfill these indications, the body should first be rubbed with snow, and afterward, when the warmth and sensi bility are somewhat restored, it should be wiped quite dry, ana well ruooea wim far or flannel. Tiro patient should now "' be put into a cold bed, in a room withont a fire: a stimulating enema ot common salt and water, with a few drops of oil of turpentine, may n administered, and, a soon as be can swallow, a little wine or spirit and water should be given. The after treatment must be regulated by the state of the patient, but mild cor- dials and stimulants, with nourishing food, will be sufficient ia most cases. , Caution. : Do not bring the patient into a warm room, or apply artificial heat in any way, until complete reaction has taken place, and all danger of excessive inflammation has passed oy. The term froet-int- e is applied to cases la which only some portions of the body, as the feet, hands, ears, etc., are frozen. In such cases the parts affected should be rubbed with snow, for while the friction, restores the circulation and sensibility, the snow prevents excessive reaction. After a short time cold water may be -- substituted for the snow, and the friction may be brisker. These applications should be made in a room without a fire, and a high or even a moderate tempera- ture must be avoided for some time, if the patient would escape the subsequent ' inconveniences of chilblains and running " sores. If the freezing has been so severe that mortification and sloughing ensue, stimu- - latlng poultices, washes, ointments, etc., will be important. A poultice made of yeast, or of carrots, with a little pulver- ized charcoal, a wash of diluted carbolic . acid, or of creosote, or an ointment in . which creosote or carbolic acid is an in- gredient, will be useful. Cliiliiain consist in a peculiar inflam- mation of the skin, induced by sudden alternations of temperature. Repeatedly warming the hands and feet by a fire when cold and damp, is the most com- mon cause of these troublesome aflections.' - A great variety of things have been reo- - ommended for chilblains, among the best of which are, soap liniment six parts, , tincture of cantharides one part; a lini- - . ment composed of lime water two parts. linseed oil one part; a wash of muriatic acid one part, water seven parts; diluted creosote, or carbolic acid; and cold foot baths.

Facts from the Census, The first volume of the new census con tains many curious as well as important statistics, in loosing over tne taoies tne most striking feature is the number of na tionalities represented in our population. We have three Oreenlanders in the United States, five negroes born in Sweden, six Dora in Kussia, 673 wnites Dora in Amca, and 2.638 persona who are without a na tive countrv, having been born at sea. Five and a half millions of our popula- tion are of foreign birth. Of these are Irish, and are distributed in the greatest number throughout Massa- chusetts, Connecticut, and in the vicinity of New York city. The Germans number 1,61)0,410, and are most numerous in Jiew "i ork. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri. The English number 650,904, and are the most numerously located in and about New York, Philadelphia, Bos- ton, and in the vicinity of Providence R. L They 'are also found in . considerable numbers in Rochester, Cin cinnati, Chicago and Milwaukee, and in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. The Welsh number 74,533, and the Swedes and Norwegians, 211,574. The two latter reside largely in Minnesota, WisconEin and Illinois, and are very numerous in and around Chicago. There are 493,834 persons enumerated as born in British America, and tnese residents are natural- ly found in largest numbers near the Canadian line, though they are well rep- resented in the larger cities and in the manufacturing districts of Massachusetts. The Chinese, about whom so much ado has been made, number only 62,674, and are mainly confined to the cities and min- ing districts of California and Nevada. The French number but 116.240, the Spaniards but 3,701, and nearly a third of the latter live in the city of New Orleans. There are 17,149 Italians and 41,308 Mex- icans, the latter nearly all residing in California and Texas. The total population of the country is 38,925,593. Of these 9,439,206 are males over the age of 21 years; 12,505,923 of the entire population are reported as en gaged in "galniui and re spectacle pur- suits. " Taking into consideration that the number of persons in the country above the age of 10 years is 26,288,945, the fact above stated seems strange; bnt an examination shows that a large por- tion of those thus reported are females under the age or 16. Ul males oeiween the ages of 16 and 69, of which there are 10.429.150. there are 9.486,734 reported to be engaged in some gainful occupation; while 989,516 above the age of 60 are also properly accounted, for. The rest are composed of the vicious and idle, the sick, the studious, and those who have retired from business. There are in the United 8tates 2,885,996 agricultural labor- ers, 2,977,711 farmers and planters, 136 apiarists, 8,550 dairyman aad dairy- - women, l.Ubo norms, si,x garaeners and nurserymen, 1,112 wine-gro- ers, JS.iXkJ actors, as.un arcmiecis, 2,266 auctioneers, 458 authors and lectur- ers, 23,935 barbers, 94 . 1,220 billiard . ... and bowling saloon An tilt keepers and employee, 12.785 boarding-hous- e keepers, 587 boot- blacks, 73 chimney-sweep- s, 65 chiropo- dists, 43,874 clergymen, 7,839 dentists. 975,734 domestic servants, 26,394 hotel- - keepers. 940 hunters and trappers, 353 in ventors, 5,286 journalists, 276 lamp-lighter- 40,736 lawyers, 1,1 86 mid wives, 10,976 nurses, 62.383 physicians and surgeons, 250 sculptors, 1,151 sextons, 154 short- hand writers, 15,010 musicians and teachers of music, 2,873 whitewashers, 10,631 bankers and brokers, 14,363 bar keepers, 7,262 commercial travelers, izu,-75- 6 draymen, hackmen and teamsters. 473 mule-packe- rs, 2,003 newspaper car riers, 884 pawnbrokers, 56,(564 sailors, 1,996 undertakers, 93 wreckers, 27,61 bakers, 141.774 blacksmiths, 44,854 butchers, 22,286 cigar makers, 34,233 en- gineers and firemen, 152,107 miners, 89,-8- printers, 436 161,820 tailors, tailoresses and seamstresses. lnter-Ooea- General Carrington's Polytechnic In stitute, attached to the Female College at Wabash, lad., has received a donation of a complete set of all the mechanical, scientific and mining works published by the British Government; also a complete set of Patent-Offic- e Reports of the same Government, the whole valued at $30,000, making it the finest collection of that class of works in tbe country. Americans read more newspapers than any other people, but do not read more books. Probably because the aver- age newspaper is better than the average pook. "How would I lova my LeveVians said.

"Come, Clarie, it is almost dinner-tim- e, and I want jron to run to the depot and get me a time-tabl- e of the Erie Railroad," said Mrs. Abram Shank to her son Clar- ence, on the fifth day of January, 1872. "I've my old clothes on, mother." said Clarence, who had been working in coal that morning. "Never mind, Clarie ; put your over coat on, and run along."' - - Clarence obeyed, and went out from his father's house, on his way to the rail- road station, in the city of Binghamton. Dinner-tim- e came, bat Clarence had not returned. "L don't see where the boy can be," said his father, as he arose from the dinner- -table. "O, hell be here before I get the table cleared off," said his mother, anxious to shield her boy. "I dare say the ticket-maste- r was busy,, or something has kept him." Mr. Shank went away to his work. Mrs. Shank left Clarence's dinner upon the table, but it had grown cold, and he was not come. Two o'clock, and still the loving face of Clarence was not seen in his home. As the mother worked and waited, the fear that some accident had come to her son, grew until it become a horror. He might have been, injured by a passing train. . . A messenger was hastily 'sent to the! railroad station. He soon returned, say- ing that no. accident had happened there, and ..that Clarence had not asked the ticket-maste- r for a time-table- . He could find no person who had seen the lad about At 1 - - sue jJitMjc. . '.'What can it mean? Clarence would not go away anywhere, for he had old clothes on," said his mother, "and he had no dinner either. I'm sure he would not run Oat"- ? - : - - ' v? . : Then the father and the older brothers were sent for, and a family council was held. One said "he might have been car- ried off on some train." This suggestion seemed very plausible. "Then we must send the telegraph after him," said Mr. Shank; and he went up to the office, and messages were sent east, west, north, and south over the railroads that center at Binghamton. The answers came speeding back over the lonely miles of wire, and each one said, "No bey car- ried off on my train.". When every conductor had been heard from; the ' father went home.. Friends were at his house tryingtto suggest some new possibility.- - The coal-pit- s were searched, Cellars were examined. All night men went up and down a mill-rac- They"UTied lights and thrust their long poles into the dark water, but no one of them stirred the body of Clarence Shank. Saturday morning came, but not a ray of hope came with it, to tell where the lost ne might be. . - No child in ail the beautiful city of Binghamton was loved so much that day as waff the lost Clarence Shank. Of all the mothers' boys in all the world! there neeerwas one like her lost darling, t hotight the tear-lade- n heart of Clarence's mother; but neither searching, nor lamentation nor tears availed to bring the faintest thread of news; - g -: : Saturday night came. Then it was that tomebody said, "Don't you remem- ber, the Gypsies passed through Bing- hamton on Friday t Can it be that they carried Clarence off with them ?" The very romance of the thought lent its charm to the new direction of search, and men eagerly offered to start with the dawn of Sunday. The Gypsy bund was encamped- - twenty miles away. They ,migbt offer stout resistance ; there- fore, as Saturday night was intensely cold, all the piaSrwere made with ref er-n- to daylight. v - claebncb's stobt. Clarence was hungry when he started for tharailroad station Friday noon, but that was of. little moment. He would come back he thought in a few minutes, and dinner was all ready, waiting for his father and brothers to return from their labor. As he looked into the passenger- - room, the ticket-agen- t was busy selling tickets for an out-goin- g train, so Clar- ence went upon the platform to wait un- til he could get a chance to ask for a time-- l.Vl.'i 1 A muie. a. uumoer oi grain cars were standing upon a track near by. One of them had been used to carry corn, and its floor was strewn with the long, thin ker- nels -- that had grown in the far fertile west. '. - - - "What a waste that is!" thought Clar- ence, havintr in mind the horses at home. and remembering how much they would like to taste the corn. "It won't take me but a minute to fill my pockets," he said to himself; and, with a dexterous leap, he was mside the freight car. In a farther corner of it he stooped down to draw the corn into a little pile, and was fillinffhis pockets, when he suddenly found himself in total aarKness. , Tie car was shut, and the fasteaing-pi- n was in, and, in spite of cries ana xnpcKS mat no one neara, Clar ence BnanK was a prisoner in an empty grain-ca- r that was bound for the Great West , . In vain he shouted, in vain he thrust his stout boots against the doors. The old locomotive engine, puffing away in iront, may nave leit the tnrui in its steam- - chest, but no one's heart was touched to open the doors and let Clarence out. So the wheels began to roll, and they rolled faster and faster, and the journey began. The boy did not know whether he was going east or west. All that he could tell was, mat tne road was rough and the car jolted terribly. He stood nn mil rinnv fast to its tides to keep from being thrown about. V "What will mother think at. r. gaspedwCIarence, trying in vain to find a crevice out or wnicu ne could peep at ine surrounding country; ttis country was blackness and darkness just then.

"After another hoar the train stopped again, ind he felt the motion of backing; then all was still in the car, while the great locomotive throb- bed itself into the distance. - "If I could only see where I am!" thought Clarence. But not a sound was heard. The car was "switched off" somewhere and left; but where was it? "What if nobody should come and let me out! What if I should have to stay in here till I starved and died!" And then the thought of all the sore trouble his ab- sence would make at home. He listened attentively for the sound of a footstep, for he was growing very cold, and he wondered if it was night At last they came, the sweetest sounds that Clarence had ever heard, and yet they were but the tramp of heavy feet on frozen pound. The boy forgot to cry aloud, he was so eager in his listening. Yes, they were coming; he could hear voices, as of men talking. Then he knocked with feet and hands; he shouted aloud, but his voice was wellnigh drowned in the dark, close car. "What's this?" said one of the men. "There's somebody stolen a free ride in that car, I reckon." The pin was taken out, the door shoved back, and Clarence was nearly blinded by the full light of day, for it was not yet four o'clock. He had not been imprisoned quite four hours, but the journey had seemed to him the length of the United States. "Where'am If" asked Clarence. "At Barton. Meant to steal a ride did you?" asked one of the men. "No, I did not. I got carried off," re- plied Clarence, with indignation. "Well, you'd better start, back pretty quick, boy. Where did vou come from?" "From Binghamton. How far itat 1" "About forty miles. Take that road!" And the men went on their way, think- ing little of their careless words to the boy. - He started, and walked until it was al most dark. Then he reached Tioga Cen- tre. He passed through the village, and went on until it was so dark that he could not see. " A farm-hous- e was near bv. but no friendly light gleamed out from it Clarence thought the folks had gone to bed. He did not like to wake them up; beside, he was afraid they would think he was a beggar boy. Near the barn- yard there was a large stack of hay with a fence about it, to keep the cattle from getting in. Clarence jumped the fence, pulled out some hay. made a berth for himself, crawled in, and, with the sum- mer's red-to- p and clover for bed and covering, he fell asleep. The tears stole out from his tired eyelids with the last moment of consciousness, after which sleep warmed his cheeks and dried his tears, and sweetly freshened every tired nerve and muscle for the great trial ot the morrow. There lay between his hay- stack bed and his home thirty-fou- r miles of frozen lands and Clarence was only eleven years old, and had eaten neither dinner nor supper that day. Light came from over the east, and with a quiver the boy's eyelids opened. He sprang up fully dressed ; no smoke curled from the farm-hous- e chimney; no- body was astir so early. He started for the long march. In his pocket was th6 corn that he had gathered vesterdav. Hunger was strong, and the lad ate a few kernels, Wondering why horses seemed to like it so well. At Oswego some bovs sent him two miles in a wrong direction. He met an old man who told him he must go back. That made four extra miles to walk. Clarence cried with cold and hunger and weariness, yet he never thought to beg a ride back by rail, or to ask a piece of bread even, at a house door. "Thev'll think me a beggar if I do, and I'd rather go hungry than beg," he thought So he passed on mile after mile, while the day went its round. His cheeks were frozen from the flow of his tears, his toes and heels were touched bv frost, but he had reached Union, and that was not many miles, he knew, from home. In all that day he was overtaken by but two wagons. They were so heavily laden that their drivers walked; therefore he could not ask a ride of either of them. It was after dark when the friendly lights ui xuDgnamton were seen. - Clarence thought he could not get home. The last few blocks were longer than the miles had been, and yet he knew if he fell down there, somebody who knew him would be certain to find him. He came dragging himself wearilv ud to the house. No one saw him until he opened the door. The house was full of friends and kindly souls who were come to sympathize with his mother. uiarence opened the door and surprised them all. With one shout thev cried. Here comes the lost bov!" while his mother sprang forward and clasped him in her arms. Clarence was too tired to tell his storv. just then. They- - gave him food, for he had eaten nothing but a few kernels of corn since Friday's breakfast and had not drunk even one drop of water since leaving home. inus ends this true storv of Clarence Shank's ride in the grain-car- . How nice it would be if all the lost children could come home, as Clarence came: if never a hearth-ston-e remained cold for the want of the living touch of the little feet that stray and come not again! ' Clarence thinks his home a far nicer place than a grain-ca- r on the Erie road; and the roof of his father's house a better shelter, - in January, than red-to- p and clover. Our Young Folk. : , Across the Atlantic in a Balloon. accobding to tne new i otk nun. an aeronaut by the name of Donaldson is now constructing a series oibauoons with which he purposes to cross the Atlantic next summer, starting from Union Square in this city. He claims that a flying ma- chine is within the range of possibility, and is not discouraged by the many fail- ures in this field. His theorv is plausible. He remarks that when Fulton built the steamboat to run in water he did not imi tate the action of the fish, and then he expresses the opinion that to navigate the air it is not necessary to comply too close- ly with the movements of birds. The liv ing bird represents aerial locomotion in its primitive state. The idea is to im prove upon this, just as the steam engine is an improvement upon the power and speea oi tne norse. Having had large experience in oailoomng, Mr. Donaldson is earnest in the belief that he can travel from the setting sun at all times, "for at a certain neignt, say two and a half miles, there is a constant current of air blowing toward the East." - By ascending to the required altitude, be is confident that this strong current will safely bear his ship from New York to the shores of England. He is also of the opinion that, when on the other side, he will find another cur- rent which will waft him home again. We may pronounce the attempt to cross the ocean in a balloon foolhardy, but let us not forget that such "foolhardy" efforts heretofore have led to the most important discoveries. Science requires her sacrifices. If we never ventured out of the old grooves we would make no progress. If we ever succeed in con- structing machines which will navigate the air, it will be through that spirit of daring which animates the bosom of Mr. Donaldson. Tf he attemnta the nrononerl feat and perishes in the undertaking, we hope that his failure will not deter others irom makinz jdaneerous experiments in the same direction- .- Turf.

Mr. Payne's pony stood sentinel within two rods of him whinnying, and he got up and tried to lead her, but could not. He followed the fence to a track which led to a granary, stacks and a stable. He staid In the stable from about ten o'clock a. m. until three p. m., thinking the own- ers would come to feed the stock there, but fearing they wonld not he started to Sad the house, which he supposed not far distant. He was lost once more, but aa he was about to burrow in., a drift he found the fence and from that the stable again. During his absence the owners had been there, fed the stock and fasten- ed the stable so he could not enter. He found an empty shed covered with snow, in which he stayed that night without his robe. Thursday morning the storm had so tar cleared that he could see the house to which the stables belonged, and which was not ten rods distant. He had been all around it the day before, and had lain within twenty rods of another house the night before. He was kindly cared for until Monday, when he arrived at his home in this city. One of his ponies re mained until Thursday morning near the sieign, ana tne otner was iouuc not sixty rods away, and hoth perfectly safe and sound. Mr. Payne thinks that he will lose half his toes and part of his heels. 8L Paul Pioneer. The Census Religion and Occupation. It has already been mentioned in com menting on the census that the six New England States, with a white population of 3,445,043, have but 6,421 . churches, while the six Southern States upon the Atlantic, with a white population of 3,- - 450,903, or virtually the same, have 11,- - 667 churches. But apart from this amaz ing revelation there are other items of in teresting ecclesiastical information to be gathered from the report. The pop ulation oi tne thirty-seve- n estates is 38,115,641, and the total number of churches for this multitude is 62,522, with 21,393,543 sittings, leaving 16,- - 720,099 or our people apparently un- provided for. The truth is, how ever, that the population of ten years or age and over amounts to Z7,ea,55, which leaves but 6,503.993 persons ot church age, so to speak, Who could find no accommodation, should every man. woman and child in the Union be simultaneously moved on bright f Sunday vi morning . , to attend relig- - ious worsnip. Dim tnat aa many as 6,503,993 persons, or about one sixth of our entire population, have nochurch accom-- uwuuua is sv prcgnmus ruccuud lur divines. The aggregate value of the church property is $:S49,61,780. In the Territories and the District of Columbia there are 660 churches, with 209,520 sit tings, and a church property worth f 4,- - 863.801. Coming to particular denominations. the disciples of Wesley and Whiteneld tower, in point of numbers, above all; the Baptists come next, the Presbyterians next, then tne uathouca, the unristians (Campbellites), the Lutherans, the the Episcopalians and the German Reformed, in the order named. (The number of churches of these and some other less prominent denomina- tions in 1870, 1860 and 1850 is as follows: , LA met. , Denomination. lfrm. ima 1SW.

The falling off in the case of the Methodists, the leading denomination In point of numbers in the country, is particularly great, as notable, in fact, as the portentious growtn oi Aiormonism. The wealth of the leading denominations compares as follows: iMnomtnaaau. caurcsea, value.

The plain brick Ebenecer seems giving way to a more ornate structure. Ihe number of churches in 1870 is sot yet double the number in l&jtf, but tbe value or ctrurcn property now is four times greater than it was twenty years ago. Coming to the subject of avocations, the census treats us to some rare imagin ings. Its dry figures body forth before us 12,335,172 men and women, boys and girls, working away for dear me at every imaginable occupation the country through. Two thuds of the population of the United States are drones, accord- ing to the census, for whom the other third toils. How it toils can only be seen in its bewildering completeness in the serried columns of the census report; but here and there a fact sometimes pa- thetic, sometimes enormous, but always suggestive appears even to the hasty glance. One half of the entire working population is engaged in agricultural pur suits, and of the 2,885,996 agricultural la- borers, 373,332 are women, tbe brawny helpmates of the Scandinavian settlers of the .Northwest, or the (southern negress who has not yet laid down the shovel and the hoe. Among other curious avoca- tions we find forty-fiv-e female stock-herder- s (how savage a calling none know but those who have seen the lex as "cow bov" dash like lightning here and there through droves of hslf wild cattle, like a dragoon in a charge), 8 female appren- tices to barbers, 24 women dentists, 3 fe male hostlers. 2 female professional hunt ers and trappers, 6 female lawyers, 525 femsle physicians and surgeons, 67 fe male clergymen, s women scavengers. female sextons, 10 female "cartmen," 196 women draymen, 1 female piio 6 female guano laborers, 4 female s, 33 women gunsmiths, 7 female gunpowder makers, and 16 female ship-ngger- s, Among the men annear 2.612.664 agricul tural laborers. 2.09.1.030 farmers and planters, 1,046 florists, 22.7-'S- bar- bers, 43,807 clergymen, 40,731 lawyers (an ecclesiastical preponderance suffic ient to keep the legal mind down), 61,oV8 physicians, 1,976 undertakers, 1.144 sex- tons, 141,774 blacksmiths, 161,485 shoe- makers, 152,061 miners, and soon bv the army corps aa mjinuvn, tcw iotk norm. "Old Talk-Talk- " is what Mark Twain c&us ueorge r raacia a ram. At the session of Mr. Poland's Committee, on the 18th, B. M. Boyer, of Con- gress from Pennsylvania, voluntarily ap peared and said he bad nothing to conceal. He took seventy five shares in his own name, and twenty-fiv- e as trustee for his wife, and has held them, regarding It as a legitimate stock transaction, irarinar tne time ne was In Congress neither the Credit-Mobili- nor Pacific Railroad required legislation. All sudsidles and grants had been voted on be- fore he was Congressman. He invites a critical examination ot his Congressional record, and says his Investment In Credit-Mobili- was consequent upon the recom- mendation of Durani. James F. Wilson, of Iowa, made a lengthy statement, saying he once bought and paid for ten shares ot capital stock of the Credit-Mobilie- r, which he subsequently sold, after having learned that there was a prospect of continuous and serious litigation concerning the Company. His application to Ames for the stock was made at the suggestion of M'Comb. When he entered Congress, In 1861, his constituency ware unanimously la favor of the construction of the railroad to the Pacific, and he had always earnestly supported the enterprise. Neither Ames, M'Comb, nor any one else attempted to in- fluence the action of the witness as a mem- ber of Congress. He did not know at first whether he had a profit or loss on the stock. He wonld act again exactly as he did under the same state of affairs. - General Banks took his seat with the Po- land Investigating Committee, for tbe first time, on the 20th. Sidney Dillon, President or the Credit-Mobilie- r, testified that he knew of shares put Into the hands of Dorant and Ames, to fnlfill previous contracts, but did ot remember the names " of the persona. Ames said he was under obligations to the same. Allusion was made to Congres-me- n, but he did not remember the names; thinks Ames mentioned James Brooks; witness said Brooks eame to him, saying that he received 100 share from Durant, and under the rule was entitled to !jO shares additional, which were finally made over to Neilson, son of Brook. At the same time Neilson borrowed $5,000 ot him (Dillon) to pay on tbem. Durant paid for the stock transferred to Neilson by the Company; ronld not tell whether Neilson repaid the $5,000 withont looking at his books; did not know what Ames did with the stock transferred to him. At aa In terview with Brooks relative to the 50 shares, neither Alley nor M'Comb were pres- ent. Brooks had nothing to do with the money loaned Neilson by witness. Brooks said briefly that the stock was to go to his Neilson. and not to him (Brooks). Witness never knew of Brooks having re- ceived any dividends from Credlt-MobUle- r; did not know where the books of the Credit-Mobili- were, unless they were in the hands of Mr. Ham; never heard ot Alley's connex ion with the transaction or Brooks. Mr. Burant was recalled on the 21st, and produced a list of persons to whom he had transferred stock. He did not think any was held In trust for Congressmen. He produced the receipt of J. B. Alley for 200 shares, atloo. Mr. Brooks testified to the effect that when he accepted the position of Govern- ment Director of the Union Pacific Railroad, he felt compelled to renounce a right to purchase, at par, from T. C Durant, 200 shares of Credit-Mobilie- a right belong ing to mm in isoo, or eariy in 1867, before he was a member of Con gress, and which did not become valuable until December, 1867. He had transferred his right to purchase the shares to his son-in-la- C. H. Neilson. He did not then re- ceive, and has never since received, one cent of profit from the transaction in his own or in any other names. He did not give Neil- son the money to purchase the stock, bnt advanced the purchase money as a loan, and held Neilson responsi ble for paying It back as soon as he could. Mr. Brooks did not wish apologetically to convey the idea that he de clined ownership in the Credlt-MobUi- stock because be was a member ot Congress, for If be had never been named a Govern ment Director, he should probably have been owner of a large amonnt of stock to this day. He naa as mncn rtgnt to own paper stock as live stock, or sheep, or spindles, or a lead or iron mine. or barley, or timber, or steam engines, or foundries, with two or three thous- and tariffed articles, largely indorsed by Con gressional legislation, tie naa never oeen asked to give, nor had he given, a vote In Congress that was nnlust to the Govern ment, or for the profit ot the Union Pacific Road, nor had he, as charged by McComb, asked Democratic members of Congress to vote for the road, and he did not remember ever to have spoken to anv Democratic member upon any legislation relating to the road. Senator Patterson again voluntarily ap- peared before the committee, and insisted that what he had heretofore stated was cor- rect, which was that he gave Ames money for Investment in Union Pacific Railroad stock and bonds, and was not aware that the latter had applied It to the purchase ot Credit Moblller stock. Oiks Ames testified before the Committee, on the 93d. that he agreed to give Mr. Col fax twenty shares of Credit-Mobili- stock in December, 1867. Witness received divi- dends upon it of 80 per cent. In Union Pa- cific bonds, and accounted to Colfax for tne bonds sold ny witness. In March. 18t8, Colfax gave witness a check for $534.73. He didn't remember delivering stock to Colfax. The check and proceeds of the Union Pacific stock paid for the Credit-Mobili- stock. In the June following he gave Colfax a check for $1,900, dividends on Credit-Mobilie- r. Colfax had never called upon the witness for Credit-Mobili- stock, and It is ready to deliver to him whenever he wants it. tie supposed that Colfax understood the $1,900 was a dividend upon tne stoca. witness had no recollection that Colfax paid him $1,200. It don't belong to witness. Mr. Col fax, who was present, said that he reasserted what he said before in regard to the $1,200. He now gave notice to Ames that be would tbe negative, and asked that the ergeant-st-Arm- a be summoned with his ac- counts. Ames declared Senators Conkling, Fowler, BavarH, and Wilson, of Masaachu-sett- s, and Representative Blaine free from anv connection with the Credit-Mobilie- r. Dawes and Allison bought and paid for stock, but afterwards returned it. Garfield took stock, which more than paid for itself by dividends: the balance Ames paid him by check for $329. This, he said, was what Garfield called a loan. Kelly, Scofield and Bingham were each owners of stock. The statements of Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, he cor- roborated. Allison testified that Ames must have un- derstood that the stock accepted by him (Allison) was given back to Ames, as there have been frequent dividends upon it, bnt tbe witness had never received any of them with one exception. N. G. Ordway, 8ergeant-at-Arm- s of the Honse of Representatives, was sworn and examined by Colfax. He had examined the account ot Colfax for 1868, bnt saw no entry of a deposit of $1,300 there; had not examined the accounts ot Ames; he did deposit some money in 1868; did not remember if the check given to Allison was indorsed; saw a check with the letters 'S. C. " or bearer, for $1,900: witnesa does not pay out or receive money. The paying teller in 1S68 was Thomas B. Chene. Other checks were payable to initials. No indorse- ment was reoulred from members of Con gress generally when they drew money them- - selves. The Av payable to "8. W was signed by Oakes Ames. Two Tayt Lost Within Twenty Bods of a House It was the misfortune of our fellow- - citizen, Mr. E. E. Payne, to be on the prairie about nve miles south oi na&son, in Dodge County, last Tuesday afternoon, when the storm came on. lie was within half a mile of a house, with the wind on his back, and losing sight of the dwelling he was governed by the wind, which, without his knowledge or consent, turned from southwest to northwest, throwing him entirely out of the way he desired to go. lie was soon lost in the blinding storm, and after wandering about for an hour, he put np for the night by blanket- ing and turning loose his ponies, wrap- ping himself in a buffalo robe, and sitting down beside his open sleigh, which was turned on its side. Bv continually slap ping his bands and kicking his feet he managed to keep them from freezing. He prayed, and sung and kept up his courage. Hoping to nod a House in me . In the House: Cameron, 60; Wallace, 37. A New York dispatch of the 90th says the full text of the Samana purchase con vention shows that the Company has ob- tained absolute sovereignty over the Penin sula, with its inhabitants and private inter- ests. The sovereignty conceded to the com- pany is greater than that of the State of New York, or any other State in the Union, for it inclndes the right to levy and collect custom duties, and to do many other things which can only be done by a sovereign na- tion. Baes not only sells them these extra- - ordinary privileges, but he sells them the flag of the Republic of St. Domingo, to use as they may's ee proper." It is reported that a few days ago Edward 8. Stokes received In prison an envelope containing a card, on which was written: " Edward 8. Stokes, from a friend. If you want to commit suicide, suck the back of this card, which contains deadly poison." Stokes handed the card to the Warden of the Tombs. In his recent testimony in the trial of Tweed, Garvey swore that his bills for plas tering the New York Custom House amount- ed to $395,000. He also stated that only 85 per cent, of the amonnt was retained by him, the rest going to Tweed & Co. It having been charged that Mr. Bogy had secured his election to the United States Senate by the Missouri Legislature by brib ery, an investigating committee was ordered by the Legislature. The war with the Modoe Indians, in Ore gon, promises to be a serious affair. The first attack on their stronghold took place on the 17th. The Indians mastered two hundred warriors, and the whites, volun- teers Included, were fonr hundred in num- ber. The skirmish lasted all day, and ended in the repulse of the troop, with a loss of fourteen killed and twenty-thre- e wound ed. How many Indians were killed is not stated, bnt the probabilities are that there were few, if any. They are all practic ed sharp-shooter- s, and were so perfectly concealed In the cliffs and rocks that scarce ly any of them could be seen during the en tire day. Nothing further would be at tempted until arrived. The Wisconsin Legislature on the 21st re elected Hon. Timothy O. Howe to the United States Senate, the vote standing, in the Senate, 22 for Howe to 9 for H. L. Palmer, of Milwankee; in the Assembly, 61 for Howe to 35 for Palmer. The two branches of the Illinois Legisla ture voted separately tor United States Sen ator on the 21st. In the Senate the vote stood: Oglesby, 33; Trumbull, 16; W. F. Coolbangh, 8. In the House the vote stood: Oglesby, 82; Trumbull, 60; absentees, 11. A protest was made by the Democratic, and Liberal members against Mr. Oglesby's elec tion as being unconstitutional, because of his already holding a State office. The Arkansas Senate has memorialized Congress, asking the passage of a civil rights bill similar to that ot Mr. Sumner's The House bill to abolish the franking privilege, as amended aad passed by the Senate, on the 23d, is as follows : Be it enacted, etc.. That the franking privilege be, and the same hereby is. abolished from aud after the 1st day of July, 1873, and that henceforth all official correspondence, of whatever nature, and other mailable matter sent from or addressed to anv officer of tbe Government, or to any person now authorized to frank such matter, shall be chargeable with the same rates of Dostage as mav be lawfully imposed upon like matter sent by or addressed to otner persons: rronata, tnat no compensation or allowance shall now, or here- after, be made to Senators, members and dele- gates of the House of Representatives on account oi postage. In the case of Miss 8nsan B. Anthony, charged with illegally voting at the Novem- ber election, the United States District Court of New York has denied the application for a writ of habeas eorput and the discharge of the lady from custody. The court declined to decide the question of the right of a woman to vote, and gave Miss Anthony the opportunity which she desired of appealing the case to the Supreme Court of the United States for final decision. The 8amana Bay Company held their meeting in New York on the 23d, and adopt ed the Commissioners' report, and ratified the contract made with the San Domingo Government. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: A. B. Stock- ell, President; Paul N. Spofford, Vice- - President; Henrv Clews, Treasurer; B R. Hazard, Secretary. The announcement that Foster will be hanged had a very depressing effect upon Stokes and other murderers In the New York Tombs. When Foster received the news he secluded himself in his cell, refusing to see any one. The Nevada Legislature has elected John P. Jones, Republican, to succeed James W. Nye in the United States Senate. The vote stood: Jones, 53; McCoy, 47: DeLong, 1 McBeth, 1. A St. Panl (Minn.) telegram of the 21st says the reported loss of life by the great storm proves to have been greatly exagger- ated. A good many lives had been lost, and a number of persons had been more or less crippled, but nothing like the terrible disas ter first reported. The Susquehanna River was rising at Port Deposit, Md., on the 21st, and there was over six feet of water in the streets. All the houses on the river side had been deserted. Rain had been falling all day. Women and children have taken refuge on the heights, where they built fires to keep from freezing. Ice was gorged opposite the town, and piled np twenty-fiv- e feet high. The Georgia Legislature, on the 23d, elect ed General Gordon United States 8enator. Gordon received 112 votes, Stephens 8G, Ackerman 14. The storm of the 23d appears to have been general throughout the Northwest. All the railroads centering at Chicago were snowed np, and trains were so much delayed that it was thought best to seSd no additional trains out to increase the disorder. The Patent Office Report. Wk owe our thanks to Judge Kelley for the latest Patent Office report. We already have sixteen hundred of these interesting volumes in our little library, but they have been read and and reread so many times that we know every page of them by heart. This new volume came opportunely and gratefully, on Christmas morning, and that night we gathered our little family around the fire, and read it inrougn to them. I he affecting tale en titled "Improvement in Monkey- - wrencnes " seemed to touch every Heart, and when we came to the climax of the little story about "Reversible .' there was not a dry eye between the front door and the stable.

It Is reported that a conference has been held at Chiselhurst, at which it was decided that the Empress Eugenie and Prince ffa-pole- should be the political guardians of the Prince Imperial, and therefore direct the movements of the party. It Is said that no manifesto announcing the Intentions of the Bonapartlsts will be issued. The Prince Imperial will not be called Napoleon IV., bnt be known as Count Plerrefonds. Ha has adopted as his motto: "Strength, but not impatience." Feronllly, Decamp and Benst, condemned Communists, were shot on the 23d, on Satory Plain. Feronllly died without uttering a word. Decamp'a last words ware: "I die assassinated. Down with false witnesses. lawyers and Thiers I" Benst died cheering the Republic, the Commune, and the army." Only one volley was fired, as all died in- stantly. There were but few spectators on the ground. In the cases of ten other Com- munists, who were to have beea executed about the same time, the President has com muted the sentence to imprisonment for life. A London dispatch of the 23d says the emigrant ship Northfleet, bound for Austra- lia, with 419 passengers on board, was run down in the English Channel on the nlgbt of the 93d by an unknown vessel, and only 97 persons were knows to have been saved. The London Board of Trade offered a reward of 100 for the discovery of the vessel which caused the fatal catastroDhe. THE NEW WOKLD. Gold closed in NewTork on the 23d at 113f3118K- - The President issued a proclamation on the 17th to the effect that " from and after the fourth day of March, 1873, except as herein specified, persons holding any Federal civil office by appointment under the Constitution and laws of the United States, will be expected, while holding such office, to hold no office under any State or Terri torial gift, or under charter or ordinance of any municipal corporations, and, farther. that the acceptance or continued holding of any such State, Territorial or Municipal office, whether elective, or by appointment, by any person holding civil office as afore- said under the Government of the United States, other than judicial officers under the Constitution of the United States, will be deemed a vacation of the Federal office held by such person." The exceptions made to this declaration are Justices of the Peace, Notaries Public, and Commissioners to take acknowledgments of deeds, of bail, or ad minister oaths, and "the appointment of Deputy Marshal of the United 8tates may be conferred upon Sheriffs and Duputy Sheriffs, and Deputy Postmasters, the emol ument of whoso office does not exceed $600 per annum, who are also excepted from the operation of this order, and may accept and hold appointments under State, Territorial, or Municipal authority; provided the same be found not to interfere with the discharge of their duties as Postmaster." The farmers of Illinois recently held a 8tate Convention at Bloomington, which was largely attended. A State Association was organized for persistent and systematic work in the interest of the producers, and resolutions were adopted declaring that the railroads in the State of Illinois stand in open defiance of the laws, by charging rates greatly! In excess of what the laws allow, and by nnjnst discriminations and extor tions," and insisting upon the enforcement of the State laws bearing upon this mat ter. Ferteet, the Chicago has had his second trial, on a change of venue, at Joliet, and is again convicted of murder in the first degree, with hanging as the penalty. The woman's Suffrage Convention, re cently in session in Washington, charged an admission fee on the night of the 18th, and the District authorities entered the room and caused the close of the meeting, on the ground that the parties had no license. A supplementary treaty has been entered into for the lease of Samana Bay to an American Company. It provides that the effective capital of the company must be $800,000 in current money of the United States, divided into 8,000 shares of the value of $100 each; but said capital aad shares may be increased from time to time by a vote of not less than the two-third- s part of the capital existing at the time. A Wash ington dispatch ef the New York Harold of the 18th states that Congressmen consider the Samana Bay scheme impracticable, and the Haytien Minister thinks the American purchasers will find that they have made a bad speculation, the bay being fit for noth ing bnt a naval station. . - The next Illinois State Fair will be held at Peoria, to last one week, beginning Septem ber 15. 8. W. Dorsey, Republican, has been elect ed United States Senator by the Arkansas Legislature, in place of Senator Eice, whose term will expire on the 4th of March. News on the 20th was to the effect that the Captain-Gener- of Cuba had been an thorized to purchase a large quantity of rifles in the United States. The political pects of the island were assuming a more threatening attitude. It was reported in Havana that a large expedition of the friends of the Cuban revolutionists, with arms and ammunition, had landed safely near Quants- - namo. Recent Information from San Domingo is to the effect that most of the valuable fran chises of the island have passed into the possession of the new American Company. Leading Cuban tories in New York, sym- pathizing with Spain, have forwarded to Madrid a protest against the intervention of Secretary Fish In regard to slavery in Cuba. AixewiorK aispattn of the 20th says three thousand cases of small-po- were re- ported to exist in Boston, and the percentage of deaths was much larger than by all other causes combined. Nearly all the burials were made in the night. The epidemic had a serious effect upon commercial interests generally. General Lee's birthday was celebrated at Savannah, Ga., on the 90th, on which occa sion the first parade of military since the war took place. General Wade Hampton deliv ered an address.

persona an liable to suffer from severefreezing. - It ia well, therefore, that allshould know how to ear - properly forone who is near perishing from exposure tointense cold, or wno baa severely irozemsome portion of his body.

The first effect of an exposure of thSwhole body to severe cold, is an almostirresistible impulse to sleep, which, ityielded to, ia soon succeeded by coma orlnaenaibilirT. and death. During thiseomatom state the body is pale and cold.uie piuae uu uie reepirsuQU are uuiwimperceptible, and the pupils are dilated;but the limbs are flexible as long at Ufaremains, unless the degree of cold bevery great indeed. Person! who navubeen exhausted by hunger, watching orfatigue, acd those who indulge in spiritu-ous liquors, exhausted as they are byperpetual stimulation, are much moreliable to suffer from cold than are others. ,

Whenever a person has been exposed toa great degree of cold, and seems likely tosuccumb to its Influence, the indicationsfor treatment are, 1st. To induce mod-- ;crate reaction, and restore the circula-tion and the sensibility. 2d. To avoidexcessive reaction, which would surelylead to violent and dangerous inflamma-tion.

To fulfill these indications, the bodyshould first be rubbed with snow, andafterward, when the warmth and sensibility are somewhat restored, it should bewiped quite dry, ana well ruooea wimfar or flannel. Tiro patient should now "'be put into a cold bed, in a room withonta fire: a stimulating enema ot commonsalt and water, with a few drops of oil ofturpentine, may n administered, and, asoon as be can swallow, a little wine orspirit and water should be given.

The after treatment must be regulatedby the state of the patient, but mild cor-dials and stimulants, with nourishingfood, will be sufficient ia most cases. ,

Caution. : Do not bring the patient into awarm room, or apply artificial heat inany way, until complete reaction hastaken place, and all danger of excessiveinflammation has passed oy.

The term froet-int- e is applied to cases lawhich only some portions of the body, asthe feet, hands, ears, etc., are frozen. Insuch cases the parts affected should berubbed with snow, for while the friction,restores the circulation and sensibility,the snow prevents excessive reaction.After a short time cold water may be --

substituted for the snow, and the frictionmay be brisker. These applicationsshould be made in a room without a fire,and a high or even a moderate tempera-ture must be avoided for some time, ifthe patient would escape the subsequent '

inconveniences of chilblains and running "sores.

If the freezing has been so severe thatmortification and sloughing ensue, stimu--latlng poultices, washes, ointments, etc.,will be important. A poultice made ofyeast, or of carrots, with a little pulver-ized charcoal, a wash of diluted carbolic .

acid, or of creosote, or an ointment in .

which creosote or carbolic acid is an in-gredient, will be useful.

Cliiliiain consist in a peculiar inflam-mation of the skin, induced by suddenalternations of temperature. Repeatedlywarming the hands and feet by a firewhen cold and damp, is the most com-mon cause of these troublesome aflections.' -A great variety of things have been reo- -ommended for chilblains, among the bestof which are, soap liniment six parts, ,tincture of cantharides one part; a lini-- .

ment composed of lime water two parts.linseed oil one part; a wash of muriaticacid one part, water seven parts; dilutedcreosote, or carbolic acid; and cold footbaths. J. D. Stedman, M. D., m CountryGcntitman.

Facts from the Census,

The first volume of the new census contains many curious as well as importantstatistics, in loosing over tne taoies tnemost striking feature is the number of nationalities represented in our population.We have three Oreenlanders in the UnitedStates, five negroes born in Sweden, sixDora in Kussia, 673 wnites Dora in Amca,and 2.638 persona who are without a native countrv, having been born at sea.Five and a half millions of our popula-tion are of foreign birth. Of these

are Irish, and are distributed inthe greatest number throughout Massa-chusetts, Connecticut, and in the vicinityof New York city. The Germans number1,61)0,410, and are most numerous in Jiew"i ork. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri. TheEnglish number 650,904, and are themost numerously located in andabout New York, Philadelphia, Bos-

ton, and in the vicinity of ProvidenceR. L They 'are also found in .

considerable numbers in Rochester, Cincinnati, Chicago and Milwaukee, and inthe coal regions of Pennsylvania. TheWelsh number 74,533, and the Swedesand Norwegians, 211,574. The two latterreside largely in Minnesota, WisconEinand Illinois, and are very numerous inand around Chicago. There are 493,834persons enumerated as born in BritishAmerica, and tnese residents are natural-ly found in largest numbers near theCanadian line, though they are well rep-resented in the larger cities and in themanufacturing districts of Massachusetts.The Chinese, about whom so much adohas been made, number only 62,674, andare mainly confined to the cities and min-ing districts of California and Nevada.The French number but 116.240, theSpaniards but 3,701, and nearly a third ofthe latter live in the city of New Orleans.There are 17,149 Italians and 41,308 Mex-icans, the latter nearly all residing inCalifornia and Texas.

The total population of the country is38,925,593. Of these 9,439,206 are malesover the age of 21 years; 12,505,923 ofthe entire population are reported as engaged in "galniui and respectacle pur-suits. " Taking into consideration thatthe number of persons in the countryabove the age of 10 years is 26,288,945,the fact above stated seems strange; bntan examination shows that a large por-tion of those thus reported are femalesunder the age or 16. Ul males oeiweenthe ages of 16 and 69, of which there are10.429.150. there are 9.486,734 reported tobe engaged in some gainful occupation;while 989,516 above the age of 60 arealso properly accounted, for.

"Come, Clarie, it is almost dinner-tim- e,

and I want jron to run to the depot andget me a time-tabl- e of the Erie Railroad,"said Mrs. Abram Shank to her son Clar-ence, on the fifth day of January, 1872.

"I've my old clothes on, mother." saidClarence, who had been working in coalthat morning.

"Never mind, Clarie ; put your overcoat on, and run along."' - -

Clarence obeyed, and went out fromhis father's house, on his way to the rail-road station, in the city of Binghamton.Dinner-tim- e came, bat Clarence had notreturned.

"L don't see where the boy can be,"said his father, as he arose from the dinner-

-table.

"O, hell be here before I get the tablecleared off," said his mother, anxious toshield her boy. "I dare say the ticket-maste- r

was busy,, or something has kepthim."

Mr. Shank went away to his work.Mrs. Shank left Clarence's dinner uponthe table, but it had grown cold, and hewas not come. Two o'clock, and stillthe loving face of Clarence was not seenin his home. As the mother worked andwaited, the fear that some accident hadcome to her son, grew until it become ahorror. He might have been, injured bya passing train. . .

A messenger was hastily 'sent to the!railroad station. He soon returned, say-ing that no. accident had happened there,and ..that Clarence had not asked theticket-maste- r for a time-table- . He couldfind no person who had seen the lad aboutAt 1 - -sue jJitMjc.

. '.'What can it mean? Clarence wouldnot go away anywhere, for he had oldclothes on," said his mother, "and he hadno dinner either. I'm sure he would notrun Oat"- ? - : - - ' v? . :

Then the father and the older brotherswere sent for, and a family council washeld. One said "he might have been car-ried off on some train." This suggestionseemed very plausible.

"Then we must send the telegraph afterhim," said Mr. Shank; and he went up tothe office, and messages were sent east,west, north, and south over the railroadsthat center at Binghamton. The answerscame speeding back over the lonely milesof wire, and each one said, "No bey car-ried off on my train.".

When every conductor had been heardfrom; the ' father went home.. Friendswere at his house tryingtto suggest somenew possibility.- - The coal-pit- s weresearched, Cellars were examined. Allnight men went up and down a mill-rac-

They"UTied lights and thrust their longpoles into the dark water, but no one ofthem stirred the body of Clarence Shank.

Saturday morning came, but not a rayof hope came with it, to tell where thelost nemight be. . -

No child in ail the beautiful city ofBinghamton was loved so much that dayas waff the lost Clarence Shank. Of allthe mothers' boys in all the world! thereneeerwas one like her lost darling, thotightthe tear-lade- n heart of Clarence's mother;but neither searching, nor lamentationnor tears availed to bring the faintestthread of news; - g -: :

Saturday night came. Then it wasthat tomebody said, "Don't you remem-ber, the Gypsies passed through Bing-hamton on Friday t Can it be that theycarried Clarence off with them ?"

The very romance of the thought lentits charm to the new direction ofsearch, and men eagerly offered to startwith the dawn of Sunday. The Gypsybund was encamped- - twenty miles away.They ,migbt offer stout resistance ; there-fore, as Saturday night was intenselycold, all the piaSrwere made with ref er-n-

to daylight.v

- claebncb's stobt.Clarence was hungry when he started

for tharailroad station Friday noon, butthat was of. little moment. He wouldcome back he thought in a few minutes,and dinner was all ready, waiting for hisfather and brothers to return from theirlabor. As he looked into the passenger- -room, the ticket-agen- t was busy sellingtickets for an out-goin- g train, so Clar-ence went upon the platform to wait un-til he could get a chance to ask for a time--l.Vl.'i 1 Amuie. a. uumoer oi grain cars werestanding upon a track near by. One ofthem had been used to carry corn, and itsfloor was strewn with the long, thin ker-nels -- that had grown in the far fertilewest. '. - - -

"What a waste that is!" thought Clar-ence, havintr in mind the horses at home.and remembering how much they wouldlike to taste the corn. "It won't take mebut a minute to fill my pockets," he saidto himself; and, with a dexterous leap, hewas mside the freight car. In a farthercorner of it he stooped down to draw thecorn into a little pile, and was fillinffhispockets, when he suddenly found himselfin total aarKness. , Tie car was shut, andthe fasteaing-pi- n was in, and, in spite ofcries ana xnpcKS mat no one neara, Clarence BnanK was a prisoner in an emptygrain-ca- r that was bound for the GreatWest , .

In vain he shouted, in vain he thrusthis stout boots against the doors. Theold locomotive engine, puffing away iniront, may nave leit the tnrui in its steam--

chest, but no one's heart was touched toopen the doors and let Clarence out. Sothe wheels began to roll, and they rolledfaster and faster, and the journey began.

The boy did not know whether he wasgoing east or west. All that he could tellwas, mat tne road was rough and the carjolted terribly. He stood nn mil rinnvfast to its tides to keep from being thrownabout.

motion of backing; then all was still inthe car, while the great locomotive throb-bed itself into the distance. -"If I could only see where I am!"

thought Clarence. But not a sound washeard. The car was "switched off"somewhere and left; but where was it?

"What if nobody should come and letme out! What if I should have to stay inhere till I starved and died!" And thenthe thought of all the sore trouble his ab-sence would make at home. He listenedattentively for the sound of a footstep,for he was growing very cold, and hewondered if it was night

At last they came, the sweetest soundsthat Clarence had ever heard, and yetthey were but the tramp of heavy feet onfrozen pound. The boy forgot to cryaloud, he was so eager in his listening.Yes, they were coming; he could hearvoices, as of men talking. Then heknocked with feet and hands; he shoutedaloud, but his voice was wellnigh drownedin the dark, close car.

"What's this?" said one of the men."There's somebody stolen a free ride inthat car, I reckon." The pin was takenout, the door shoved back, and Clarencewas nearly blinded by the full light ofday, for it was not yet four o'clock.

He had not been imprisoned quite fourhours, but the journey had seemed to himthe length of the United States.

"Where'am If" asked Clarence."At Barton. Meant to steal a ride did

you?" asked one of the men."No, I did not. I got carried off," re-

plied Clarence, with indignation."Well, you'd better start, back pretty

quick, boy. Where did vou come from?""From Binghamton. How far itat 1""About forty miles. Take that road!"

And the men went on their way, think-ing little of their careless words to theboy. -

He started, and walked until it was almost dark. Then he reached Tioga Cen-tre. He passed through the village, andwent on until it was so dark that he couldnot see. "

A farm-hous-e was near bv. but nofriendly light gleamed out from itClarence thought the folks had gone tobed. He did not like to wake them up;beside, he was afraid they would thinkhe was a beggar boy. Near the barn-yard there was a large stack of hay witha fence about it, to keep the cattle fromgetting in. Clarence jumped the fence,pulled out some hay. made a berth forhimself, crawled in, and, with the sum-mer's red-to- p and clover for bed andcovering, he fell asleep. The tears stoleout from his tired eyelids with the lastmoment of consciousness, after whichsleep warmed his cheeks and dried histears, and sweetly freshened every tirednerve and muscle for the great trial ot themorrow. There lay between his hay-stack bed and his home thirty-fou- r milesof frozen lands and Clarence was onlyeleven years old, and had eaten neitherdinner nor supper that day.

Light came from over the east, andwith a quiver the boy's eyelids opened.He sprang up fully dressed ; no smokecurled from the farm-hous- e chimney; no-body was astir so early. He started forthe long march. In his pocket was th6corn that he had gathered vesterdav.Hunger was strong, and the lad ate a fewkernels, Wondering why horses seemedto like it so well.

At Oswego some bovs sent him twomiles in a wrong direction. He met anold man who told him he must go back.That made four extra miles to walk.

Clarence cried with cold and hungerand weariness, yet he never thought tobeg a ride back by rail, or to ask a pieceof bread even, at a house door. "Thev'llthink me a beggar if I do, and I'd rathergo hungry than beg," he thought

So he passed on mile after mile, whilethe day went its round. His cheeks werefrozen from the flow of his tears, his toesand heels were touched bv frost, but hehad reached Union, and that was notmany miles, he knew, from home. Inall that day he was overtaken by but twowagons. They were so heavily ladenthat their drivers walked; therefore hecould not ask a ride of either of them.It was after dark when the friendly lightsui xuDgnamton were seen.

- Clarence thought he could not get home.The last few blocks were longer than themiles had been, and yet he knew if hefell down there, somebody who knew himwould be certain to find him.

He came dragging himself wearilv udto the house. No one saw him until heopened the door. The house was full offriends and kindly souls who were cometo sympathize with his mother.

uiarence opened the door and surprisedthem all. With one shout thev cried.

Here comes the lost bov!" while hismother sprang forward and clasped himin her arms.

Clarence was too tired to tell his storv.just then. They- - gave him food, for hehad eaten nothing but a few kernels ofcorn since Friday's breakfast and hadnot drunk even one drop of water sinceleaving home.

inus ends this true storv of ClarenceShank's ride in the grain-car- . How niceit would be if all the lost children couldcome home, as Clarence came: if never ahearth-ston-e remained cold for the wantof the living touch of the little feet thatstray and come not again! '

Clarence thinks his home a far nicerplace than a grain-ca- r on the Erie road;and the roof of his father's house a bettershelter, - in January, than red-to- p andclover. Our Young Folk. : ,

Across the Atlantic in a Balloon.

accobding to tne new i otk nun. anaeronaut by the name of Donaldson isnow constructing a series oibauoons withwhich he purposes to cross the Atlanticnext summer, starting from Union Squarein this city. He claims that a flying ma-chine is within the range of possibility,and is not discouraged by the many fail-ures in this field. His theorv is plausible.He remarks that when Fulton built thesteamboat to run in water he did not imitate the action of the fish, and then heexpresses the opinion that to navigate theair it is not necessary to comply too close-ly with the movements of birds. The living bird represents aerial locomotion inits primitive state. The idea is to improve upon this, just as the steam engineis an improvement upon the power andspeea oi tne norse. Having had largeexperience in oailoomng, Mr. Donaldsonis earnest in the belief that he can travelfrom the setting sun at all times, "for ata certain neignt, say two and a half miles,there is a constant current of air blowingtoward the East." - By ascending to therequired altitude, be is confident that thisstrong current will safely bear his shipfrom New York to the shores of England.He is also of the opinion that, when onthe other side, he will find another cur-rent which will waft him home again.We may pronounce the attempt to crossthe ocean in a balloon foolhardy, but letus not forget that such "foolhardy"efforts heretofore have led to the mostimportant discoveries. Science requiresher sacrifices. If we never ventured outof the old grooves we would make noprogress. If we ever succeed in con-structing machines which will navigatethe air, it will be through that spirit ofdaring which animates the bosom of Mr.Donaldson. Tf he attemnta the nrononerlfeat and perishes in the undertaking, wehope that his failure will not deter othersirom makinz jdaneerous experiments inthe same direction- .- Turf. Field andFarm. . ?

The Census Religion and Occupation.

It has already been mentioned in commenting on the census that the six NewEngland States, with a white populationof 3,445,043, have but 6,421 . churches,while the six Southern States upon theAtlantic, with a white population of 3,--450,903, or virtually the same, have 11,- -667 churches. But apart from this amazing revelation there are other items of interesting ecclesiastical information to begathered from the report. The population oi tne thirty-seve- n estates is38,115,641, and the total number ofchurches for this multitude is 62,522,with 21,393,543 sittings, leaving 16,- -720,099 or our people apparently un-provided for. The truth is, however, that the population of ten yearsor age and over amounts to Z7,ea,55,which leaves but 6,503.993 persons otchurch age, so to speak, Who could findno accommodation, should every man.woman and child in theUnion be simultaneously moved onbrightf

The aggregate value of thechurch property is $:S49,61,780. In theTerritories and the District of Columbiathere are 660 churches, with 209,520 sittings, and a church property worth f4,- -863.801.

Coming to particular denominations.the disciples of Wesley and Whiteneldtower, in point of numbers, above all;the Baptists come next, the Presbyteriansnext, then tne uathouca, the unristians(Campbellites), the Lutherans, the

the Episcopalians andthe German Reformed, in the ordernamed. (The number of churches of theseand some other less prominent denomina-tions in 1870, 1860 and 1850 is as follows:

It will be seen that none of these de--

nominations, except the Mormon andUnitarian, maintain in the last census decade the rate of increase shown in theone prior. The falling off in the case ofthe Methodists, the leading denominationIn point of numbers in the country, isparticularly great, as notable, in fact, asthe portentious growtn oi Aiormonism.The wealth of the leading denominationscompares as follows:

It is a comforting deduction from thecensus that, while we may not build asmany churches in proportion aa we oncedid, they are every way more costly andrespectable looking edifices. The plainbrick Ebenecer seems giving way to amore ornate structure. Ihe number ofchurches in 1870 is sot yet double thenumber in l&jtf, but tbe value or ctrurcnproperty now is four times greater thanit was twenty years ago.

Coming to the subject of avocations,the census treats us to some rare imaginings. Its dry figures body forth beforeus 12,335,172 men and women, boys andgirls, working away for dear me at everyimaginable occupation the countrythrough. Two thuds of the populationof the United States are drones, accord-ing to the census, for whom the otherthird toils. How it toils can only beseen in its bewildering completeness inthe serried columns of the census report;but here and there a fact sometimes pa-thetic, sometimes enormous, but alwayssuggestive appears even to the hastyglance. One half of the entire workingpopulation is engaged in agricultural pursuits, and of the 2,885,996 agricultural la-

borers, 373,332 are women, tbe brawnyhelpmates of the Scandinavian settlers ofthe .Northwest, or the (southern negresswho has not yet laid down the shovel andthe hoe. Among other curious avoca-tions we find forty-fiv-e female stock-herder- s

"Old Talk-Talk- " is what Mark Twainc&us ueorge r raacia a ram.

At the session of Mr. Poland's Committee,on the 18th, B. M. Boyer, of Con-gress from Pennsylvania, voluntarily appeared and said he bad nothing to conceal.He took seventy five shares in his own name,and twenty-fiv- e as trustee for his wife, andhas held them, regarding It as a legitimatestock transaction, irarinar tne time ne wasIn Congress neither the Credit-Mobili- norPacific Railroad required legislation. Allsudsidles and grants had been voted on be-fore he was Congressman. He invites acritical examination ot his Congressionalrecord, and says his Investment In Credit-Mobili-

was consequent upon the recom-mendation of Durani.

James F. Wilson, of Iowa, made a lengthystatement, saying he once bought and paidfor ten shares ot capital stock of the Credit-Mobilie- r,

which he subsequently sold, afterhaving learned that there was a prospect ofcontinuous and serious litigation concerningthe Company. His application to Ames forthe stock was made at the suggestion ofM'Comb. When he entered Congress, In1861, his constituency ware unanimously lafavor of the construction of the railroad tothe Pacific, and he had always earnestlysupported the enterprise. Neither Ames,M'Comb, nor any one else attempted to in-

fluence the action of the witness as a mem-ber of Congress. He did not know at firstwhether he had a profit or loss on the stock.He wonld act again exactly as he did underthe same state of affairs. -

General Banks took his seat with the Po-land Investigating Committee, for tbe firsttime, on the 20th. Sidney Dillon, Presidentor the Credit-Mobilie- r, testified that he knewof shares put Into the hands of Dorant andAmes, to fnlfill previous contracts, but didot remember the names " of the persona.

Ames said he was under obligations to thesame. Allusion was made to Congres-me- n,

but he did not remember the names;thinks Ames mentioned James Brooks;witness said Brooks eame to him, sayingthat he received 100 share from Durant,and under the rule was entitled to !jO sharesadditional, which were finally made overto Neilson, son of Brook. At thesame time Neilson borrowed $5,000 ot him(Dillon) to pay on tbem. Durant paidfor the stock transferred to Neilson by theCompany; ronld not tell whether Neilsonrepaid the $5,000 withont looking at hisbooks; did not know what Ames did withthe stock transferred to him. At aa Interview with Brooks relative to the 50shares, neither Alley nor M'Comb were pres-ent. Brooks had nothing to do with themoney loaned Neilson by witness. Brookssaid briefly that the stock was to go to his

Neilson. and not to him (Brooks).Witness never knew of Brooks having re-ceived any dividends from Credlt-MobUle- r;

did not know where the books of the Credit-Mobili-

were, unless they were in the handsof Mr. Ham; never heard ot Alley's connexion with the transaction or Brooks.

Mr. Burant was recalled on the 21st, andproduced a list of persons to whom he hadtransferred stock. He did not think anywas held In trust for Congressmen. Heproduced the receipt of J. B. Alley for 200shares, atloo.

Mr. Brooks testified to the effect thatwhen he accepted the position of Govern-ment Director of the Union PacificRailroad, he felt compelled to renounce aright to purchase, at par, from T. C Durant,200 shares of Credit-Mobilie- a right belonging to mm in isoo, or eariy in1867, before he was a member of Congress, and which did not become valuableuntil December, 1867. He had transferredhis right to purchase the shares to his son-in-la-

C. H. Neilson. He did not then re-ceive, and has never since received, one centof profit from the transaction in his own orin any other names. He did not give Neil-son the money to purchase the stock, bntadvanced the purchase money asa loan, and held Neilson responsible for paying It back as soonas he could. Mr. Brooks did not wishapologetically to convey the idea that he declined ownership in the Credlt-MobUi-

stock because be was a member ot Congress,for If be had never been named a Government Director, he should probably havebeen owner of a large amonnt of stock tothis day. He naa as mncn rtgnt to ownpaper stock as live stock, or sheep,or spindles, or a lead or iron mine.or barley, or timber, or steam engines,or foundries, with two or three thous-and tariffed articles, largely indorsed by Congressional legislation, tie naa never oeenasked to give, nor had he given, a vote InCongress that was nnlust to the Government, or for the profit ot the Union PacificRoad, nor had he, as charged by McComb,asked Democratic members of Congress tovote for the road, and he did not rememberever to have spoken to anv Democraticmember upon any legislation relating to theroad.

Senator Patterson again voluntarily ap-peared before the committee, and insistedthat what he had heretofore stated was cor-rect, which was that he gave Ames moneyfor Investment in Union Pacific Railroadstock and bonds, and was not aware that thelatter had applied It to the purchase otCredit Moblller stock.

Oiks Ames testified before the Committee,on the 93d. that he agreed to give Mr. Colfax twenty shares of Credit-Mobili- stockin December, 1867. Witness received divi-dends upon it of 80 per cent. In Union Pa-cific bonds, and accounted to Colfax for tnebonds sold ny witness. In March. 18t8,Colfax gave witness a check for $534.73. Hedidn't remember delivering stock to Colfax.The check and proceeds of the Union Pacificstock paid for the Credit-Mobili- stock. Inthe June following he gave Colfax a checkfor $1,900, dividends on Credit-Mobilie- r.

Colfax had never called upon the witnessfor Credit-Mobili- stock, and It is ready todeliver to him whenever he wants it. tiesupposed that Colfax understood the $1,900was a dividend upon tne stoca. witnesshad no recollection that Colfax paid him$1,200. It don't belong to witness. Mr. Colfax, who was present, said that he reassertedwhat he said before in regard to the $1,200.He now gave notice to Ames that be would

tbe negative, and asked that theergeant-st-Arm- a be summoned with his ac-

counts. Ames declared Senators Conkling,Fowler, BavarH, and Wilson, of Masaachu-sett- s,

and Representative Blaine free fromanv connection with the Credit-Mobilie- r.

Dawes and Allison bought and paid forstock, but afterwards returned it. Garfieldtook stock, which more than paid for itselfby dividends: the balance Ames paid himby check for $329. This, he said, was whatGarfield called a loan. Kelly, Scofield andBingham were each owners of stock. Thestatements of Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, he cor-roborated.

Allison testified that Ames must have un-

derstood that the stock accepted by him(Allison) was given back to Ames, as therehave been frequent dividends upon it, bnttbe witness had never received any of themwith one exception.

N. G. Ordway, 8ergeant-at-Arm- s of theHonse of Representatives, was sworn andexamined by Colfax. He had examined theaccount ot Colfax for 1868, bnt saw no entryof a deposit of $1,300 there; had notexamined the accounts ot Ames; hedid deposit some money in 1868; didnot remember if the check given to Allisonwas indorsed; saw a check with the letters'S. C. " or bearer, for $1,900: witnesa does

not pay out or receive money. The payingteller in 1S68 was Thomas B. Chene. Otherchecks were payable to initials. No indorse-ment was reoulred from members of Congress generally when they drew money them- -

selves. The Av payable to "8. W wassigned by Oakes Ames.
