Kkeley's Motoic, it is reported, has ?again been "perfected"?this time just one week before tbe first of April. The "power" has been adjusted to a "vibra tory engine," unlike anything of tbe kind ever before seen, of course, which, how ever, maintains a uniform speed of twen ty-five vibrations per minute and utilizes the power effectively. Air. Keeley is go ing to talro ouLa patent right away, and then the Keeley boom will begin again. Some of the newspapers seem to think that Tilden isn't paying enough attention to what they coll the preliminary feeling throughout tbe country. This is just like Tilden. Four years ago he paid a little at tention to tbe preliminary feeling that scarcely one in livo of the delegates to tbe National Convention were originally fa vorable to him. It eeems to come cheaper to wait until these dolegates get together and then bring some persuasion to bear on them. Senatou Henhy U. Davis' threatened retirement from public life induces some sarcastic regrets among the Washington newspapers. The Republican apparently takes it to heart as much as if the depart ure of the principal business college of tho city was announced. It says: Senator Davis has peculiar ideas about keeping books. He early learned their mystery when in the employ of the Balti more & Ohio Railroad, and he has been keeping books ever since. When first in ducted into political life he kept Republi can books?plenty of credit, but no debit; then a Democratic ledger where the ac counts were reversed. lie has since sought to teach ignorant Treasury officials, and while his laudable endeavors have brought forth nothing, vet his perseverance has kept those unfortunate financiers busily employed trying to learn something. What the population of the Republic is wo shall soon know, so far as consus-tak ing can ascertain it. ?Ieanwhile, private statisticians are at work to seo how near they can come by calculation and estimate to the actual figures. One of these puts tho present population in round numbers at 43,272,000, which would make the gain since 1870 less than 5,000,000. In a work, published a good while ago, 8 per cent of population was added to the total number each year, aud tho estimates were found to correspond very closely to the figures of the census. Tho estimate for 1870 was 40,528,317; the census was only 38,528,871; but the destruction of life had not, of course, been anticipated. The estimate I for 18S0 was 54,580,705. The gain I from 1810 to 1850 was 6,122,000; ; from 1850 to.1800, 8,250,000; from 1800 to 1870, 7,115.000. Dating the ten years | from 1860 to 1870, Massachusetts gained 226.000, and New York 502,000. Thesoj figures show a rapid increase of gain over | tho previous decade, and it is claimed and acknowledged that the Southern audi Westorn States have gained moro rapidly j in the past nine than in the provious ton years. Therefore, the estimate of tho statistician above quoted seeins to be far too low. According to tho best informa tion presentable, and the most careful cal culations, tho census will show the popu lation in 1880 to be fully 47,000,000 or a gain of nearly 0,000,000 over the popula tion ten years before. Tho general esti mate has been between 47,00,000 and 48, 000,000, and there is small doubt that this will prove correct. It might be gratifying to the national prido to turn 50,000,000 but prido and arithmetic have nothing in common. Tim new anti?rum act excites consider able opposition oven in Maine, where both parties give their assent to the pro hibition theory, and it is pronounced un constitutional by many lawyers. It de clares a club where liquor is sold or given away a common nuisance, forbids the sale of cider as a beverage, and empowers the governor to remove sheriffs and county attorneys who do not enforce its provis ions, while men convicted of intoxication receive a remission of their tines for telling whore they bought their liquor. The rum-seller is given a fine of $100 and costs i or 00 days in jail for the ilrat offense, and each subsequent offense is punished with $100 aud six months at hard labor. . It is claimed that tliore are 100 drinking clnbs in Portland, and that such organiza tions exist in-every city and large village of tho State. The Prat says that they "are poisoning tho stream in its vory fountains, they aro corrupters of youth, they are making clean minds impure and planting seeds of disease in healthy young bodies," and that they " are more injuri ous to the community than would be open bars nt every streot corner." Tho new eu actment is both a confession of the par tial fAiluro of the prohibitory law and a declaration that neither drinkers nor sel lers can expect quarter from the temper ance people. It is true that the sale of liquor in public places has bedn stopped, bnt these clubs explain where the business has gone, and King Alcohol still has plen ,y of victims. The very day that the Portland papers announced the new tri jmph of the prohlbitioniata they also con talned reports ol six convictions for intox ication by the police court. The Springfield Ripublicans&ya this would be a very largo number for Springfield, a city of about the same size, where itis just as easy to buy whisky as molasses. If the new law is enforced, the opportunity for the purchaee of intoxicants out of the state will still remain, and drinkers can still still carry the destroyer in flasks and pass it to their friends. If this evasion becomes general, no doubt Neal Dow will endeavor to secure an enactment to stop it, but it remains to be seen whether the people would submit to such an attack on their personal liberty. The intensely repressive liquor legislation was no doubt one of the chief causes of the uprising in Maino. The extreme prohibitory policy cannot go on forever without further up heavals, political or social. And what have you Maine reformers got to show for your heroic efforts? You have been raining your sledge-hammer blows on the monster's head for a generation, and he still stands erect. Possibly your weapon* and methods are not the best." Klud Word* lor Jewell. Tho New York Herald printfl interviews with ex-Governors Seymour and Robin* soo, of that State, and ex-Governor Gilbert 0. Walker, lately of Virginia, bat now practicing law at his old home, Binghamp ton, N. Y. Ex-Governors Seymour and Robinson agree in belittling and depre cating 'attempts to restore Democratic harmony in this Snate by meetings or conventions outside of the regular Demo cratic organization. If there is a general spirit of conciliation among the delegates to the State convention there will be no difficulty in effecting a satisfactory adjust ment Mr. Seymour insists on the "folly and absurdity of the young men of the party, tho men to whom the future be longs. and who must in a few years con trol it, quarreling with each other over [ the claims of superannuated politicians who have had their day and will soon be in their graves." Ex-Governor Robinson says that he would not have been a candidate for re election but for "that foolish fellow in New York." He did not want the office, but he saw that the Democratic party of the State would be defeated in any event, and thought it better that it should "go down with its colors flying." It-is his opinion that Governor Seymour could not be in duced to accept the Presidential nomina tion if it were offered hira. Both spoke in the highest terms of the Hon. Hugh J. Jewett, declaring that he would make an able, vigorous and admirable President. Ex-Governor Walker said Mr. Seymour was his choice for President, but he thought Mr. Jewett would make a safe and satisfactory President, and that his candi dacy would unite the Democratic party in all sections of tho Union. Mr. Walker re gards New York as the pivotal State, and is confident that Virginia is safe for the Democratic nominee, whoever he may be. LlRUlennuf Coleman'* 8 lory. "I am the daughter of well-to do people in the middle part of England. They are church of England people. I was thoroughly saved about a year and a half ago. Before that I was a professor of Christianity and a member of the Episcopal Church. I was never a child of Jesus duVing those days. I was careless. I was a great sinner. I never went to the ends of Bin, because my parents restrained me. I went to school for about 12 years al together and my education is a pretty good one. When the light of my Jesus fell upon me I lived a now life and was a changed person. If you would join the army of the Lord how happy you would bo. Will you not kneel in prayer now?" "Did your parents object to your coming to this country?" "Oh, yes; but I was sustained by a faith against which their objections fell powerless and harmless, and finally, they having no other course to pursue, concluded they would not stand in the way of my sours salvation." "Do you propope to continue as a missionary? You are young, have accomplishments of no small order, aud? excuse tho frankness of the observation? rather pretty. Do you not have inclina tions for a domestic life, such ns a happy marriage would bring you?" But as Mig gles, in Bret Harte's story of that name, on being asked the same question, drew her bearskin blanket about her and changed the topic, so did this pretty, soft voiced little zealot, remarking simply: "It is just as my Lord Jesus directs. I am con tent." A Ncene lu Nnu Fraaelnco. A moment's hilarity supervened, and Mr. Spencer again let himself out "I re member," he said, "that when Eph Horn was in San Francisco he was a great friend of Tom Maguire's. This friendship was all tho stronger when he learned that Tom, like himself, could neither read nor write. Like most such men, however, Tom kopt the fact under cover as long as possible. He bought newspapers and pored over them as regular as an old stockbroker. One day Eph saw him in tently perusing a copy of the Alia in front of a cigar store on Kearney street. He looked over his shoulder at tho newspaper, and, in an off-haud manner, said: 'I see there's been a big storm at sea!' " 'Where do you see it?' Maguire asked. " 'In the paper,' returned Eph, point ing to the Alia. 'The ships are upside down.'" A list of the ages of the candidates for the Presidential nominations will interest all our readers and may surprise some of them, for there are several illusions cher ished on the subject. Charles Francis Adams is seventy-three; his father, John Qaincy Adams, died at eighty-one, and his grandfather, John Adams, at ninety one; Horatio Seymour is seventy; Mr. Tilden. sixty-six; Senator Davis, sixtv-five; ex-Governor Parker, of New Jersey, seventv-four; Senator Thurman, sixty-one; Mr. Hendricks, sixty-one; ex-I'resiUent Grant, fifty-eight: Secretary Sherman, fifty-seven; General Hancock, fifty-six; General McClellan, fifty-four; Senator Bayard, fifty-two; Senator Conkling, fifly one, and Senator Blaine fifty. The Abbott KInn. From the Detroit Km l'reai. Concerning the much-discussed "Abbott kiss," Manager Morrissey thus unbosomed himself to a Louisville reporter: "1 don't mindtollingyou that they don't really kiss. People in front think they do, but, my dear fellow, behind the scones, you know, it look* different. Castle climbs up to the balcony, you know, and tbey sing a duet, und at tho end Miss Abbott's head gradually touches Castle's chin,just there," and "Truthful James" gauged "there" just above the reporter's dimple. This is about the most straightforward account yet of the Abbott kiss, ami is about as near to the real thing as tho public will ever arrive. llnyinit H?t Virginia Ori?. The Keyser Tribune toys: James Wolf and II. F. Gump, representing Pennsylva nia iron works, have contracted with Judge Alkire for a quantity of iron ore, to betaken out of the large bed on his farm near this placo. The exact nature of the contract we have been unable to ascertain, but tho contractors have an option to pur chase in a certain given time, and are to pay so much per ton for all ore mined un til that limit expires. Work will begin in a few days, taking out ore and shipping over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Reconsider*! and Rejected. Milwaukee N'awi. There 1b no dependence to be placed on some men.
