The latter ls much heavier and Irregular. . t -The San Francisco Bulletin says there are not less than one thousand miles of narrow gauge railroad planned and In various stages of forwardness in California. It is true that most of these projects are still on paper, bnt some ot them have been advanced several steps, subscriptions have been secured, lines located, and estimates made. -^ Louisville man who had only been ac? quainted With his girl two nights, attempted . to ilsa her at the gate. In his dying deposi? tion he told the doctors that Just as he "kissed her the earth slid from under his feet, and his soul went out of bis mouth, while bis head touched th -f stars."

Before the recent conference of the Emperors at Berlin, Cte custom was that when a princess married Into the imperial family of Russia, she had to Join the Greek ohsuroh. From this change of j faith the German princess will be saved if it I ls true, aa lt ia reported to be, that at that conf?rence the Emperor William perempto? rily declared that henceforth German prin? cesses marrying into the Russian imperial family most be allowed to continue In their former faith. -Somebody who has boen "studying our weights" reports that upon the average, boys, at birth, weigh a little more, and girls a little lesa titan six pounds and a half. For the first twelve years the two sexes oontlnue nearly 'equi in weight, but beyond that time males acquire a decided preponderance. Thus young j men of twenty average one hundred and for? ty-three pounds eachi while young women of | twenty average one hundred and twenty | poonda. Men reach their heaviest bulk at about thirty-five, when their average ls about one hundred and fifty-two pounds; bot . women slowly Increase in weight until flay, when their average is about one hun? dred and twenty-nine pounds. Taking men and women together, their weight, at full growth, averages about twenty times as heavy aa they were oh tne first day of their exlst i ecce. Men range from oqe hundred and eight . to two hundred and twenty pqunds, (the Tich? borne claimant weighs aboqt three hundred and sixty pounds 1) and women from eighty eight to two hundred and seven pounds. - .The actual weight of haman nature, taking the j . average of all ages and conditions-nobles, clergy, tinkers, tailors, maidens, boys, girls, and babies, all Included-is very nearly one hundred poonda. These figures are given in avoirdupois weight; but the advocates of the superiority of woman might make a nice point by introducing the rule that women be weighed by troy weight-like other jewels-and men by .avoirdupois. The figures would then Staad-young men of twenty, one hundred " and forty-three po un dB each; young T j rn en of twenty, one hundred and sixty pounds, and so on. -Thrilling in the extreme must have been the late gales In Denmark, as they were ter ribla to toe poor people wbo, with scarcely a moment's warning, were overwhelmed by the forcea of the Baltlo lashed Into mad fury by the relentless winds behind. For two cen tu rles past no such lamentable storm and inun? dation have been known In that region as that of last month. At Copenhagen the trees on the town walls and In the parks were seized b;-the wind and sent flying like chaff, though the effect of the storm in the capital was e thor lal mildness compared to the mad? ness ol: the elements In other sections. H nm min gen, a low-lying peninsula covered with numerous houses and farm lands, was swept away entirely; every person drowned and every farm destroyed. The first appear? ance of the waves ls described as looking like that of a "white thing" Been afar off above the crests ot the sea; lt came onward with dread? ful swiftness, foaming, hissing, tumbling and roaring, and then the terrified people saw that it was a series of waves, the first of which was three or four ieet high, whloh came on? ward to the shore, and behind it still others more towering than Itself. Tbe people es? sayed to fly, and almost instantly were lifted from their Ieet and swept inward with the waves, which ruBhed over the meadows and fertile fields, oonvertlng them Into barren sea. Throughout the coast and on the seas there bas been the same mournful story ot lives lost, houses destroyed and lands render? ed unfit for cultivation by the deluge ot salt water. _, Tbe Children. What were Christmas without the children, whose tiny footsteps, at this Jocund time, lightest print the ground ; without the boys and girls, from the dreamy babes whose smiles are of the angels, to the lisping youngsters over whose yearnings for the great hereafter passes a shadow of the In? finite whe? ce they came? It is they, the chil? dren, who make the old, old feast eternally fresh and new. Sorrows plague those of larger growth. The haunting memories of the might-have-been, of the work undone, of the Kong round of care, of the youthful promisa unfulfilled, of the flower-decked moonda beneath the winter ekles-these fill the heart to borsting, bringing with them none of the heedless confidence which, whatever the past, comes with a new-born year. Thro ugh the tangled ekeln at Christmas tide winds one bright thread ; the mingling of strong yoong lives in the weary toll of living. They lead the thoughts of tbe elders, and mercifully so, from the anxieties pf breetd-winoing ; they unconsciously give hope where hope waa dead ; they refresh the jaded brain and impart new canning to the worn right hand. Sweet despots 1 they demand oar every thought, and, in caring for them, the saddened self is forgotten there ls the rich and meet reward. Who caa behold unmoved their prattling glee ; their wondering expectation ; their merry surprise when hoary Kr Isa Kringle, silently stolen away, leaves behind stores of brlght hued toys and of daintier gifts which dis? appear before the coming morn ? What words can tell the joy of the child who opes the violet eyes to lind the dimpled pillows weighed down with the gifts of loving hearts? We were, all of os, children once. Let this teach os to be tender and indulgen t, toward the little ones, to bear with their pranks, to join with them in celebrating their Christmas carnival. And they io I torn, ia words not spoken, will bid ns be pore and bright aa they, and will help os to pot away gloom and despair as a cast-off robe, while we, whatever come, strive to do oar duty. God bless the children I Thu Hope Which Spring? Eternal. Some lines in an article in Blackwood upon t ie "Parisians" are worthy of public attention. Tbe writer says : "Does not "hiato 7 tell as that the great changes of the "work, have been wrought by minorities 7 "But on the one condition, that the mlnorl "ties shall not be hopeless. * * * j "When a majority becomes so vas' dat in "celled disappears lathe crowd, the.date "of ita destruction commences. * * * "It in the natara of things that minorities 'are always more intellectual than multi "tndes, and intellect is ever at work in sup? plying numerical force. What your party j "wanta is, Hope I because without Hope "there is no energy. " This is oar case. There has been little Hope and little energy. The intellectual sixty have been palsied by the ignorant ninety.. It is only necessary to have Hope, and the minority will become the majority by those mental processes and vigorous work which are learned only by those who are stimulated by being in the minority. The Louisiana. Trouble The address of the Louisiana Committee to the people of the United States gives, what we have not had before, a temperate and truthful account of the origin and pro? gress ol the troubles which have Oiled the conservative people with dismay, and have compelled them to appeal to. Congress for protection. In the face of this document it will be useless to cry oat that there was a conspiracy to deprive the colored voters of their rights. There are the facts. The Kellogg party may disprove them if they can. This, however, they will hardly at? tempt to do. Their conspiracy ls for the time successful. With the help of a disso? lute j Jdge, and of the government officials, backed by Federal bayonets, they have thrust the Governor from office, and have installed State officers and a Legislature who vere defeated at the polls and do not represent the people. The game is theirs; but th e conn try will not tara a deaf ear to the caJm words Of the Louisiana Committee, nor are we without hope that Congress will take np the matter and see that justice ia done. This is all that the Louisianians ask for. They ask that they be heard, that their statements be investigated, and that, when the whole truth ls known, such steps be taken as will make secure the rights o? their people. It'?but not be forgotten that the Kellogg party coald not have accomplished their coup-de-main, except After an armed con? flict, without the assistance given them by the broad provisions of the Enforcement act. Nominally intended to prevent any interference with the colored voters, it is used, as was certain that lt would be used, for the oppression of whites and blacks alike. While that law stands, and service? able judges can be found, it is evident that no Btttte is safe ; for, as the coarse of events in Louisiana shows, it lies in the power of an nnscrapulbus minority to usurp the government and place in office just such men as will best serve their purpose. What has been done In Louisiana can be done, with equal reason and equal propriety, in the North and Weat. And so it will be dono unless the people of the country com? pel a change in the character of the Federal legislation, Buch a change as will give the colored people every protection, but will give an equal protection to the whites, and pre? vent any one race or class from riding rough-Bhod over the other. There ls an end to popular liberty, if the government of a State can be overturned at the will of a partisan judge. This is what has been done In Louisiana, as the address o? the committee shows. Crying ? Wolli ..' The Marlon Star takes a practical view of I the situation. It says : "Let na accept our "defeat In the State; for Governor MoaeB "poaaeBsea the ability, and may have (THE |NBWS thinks he baa) "the wllilngnesa to "make a good Governor. At any rate "we ehould not cry Wolf! until that fero '.clous animal actually threatens to gratify "his taste at the expense of our flocks." I This is the Beeret of lt. Do not let ns cry Wolf ! It ls helter to take things as they come, and judge them ag they are. The plan of giving a man a bad name, and gib? beting bim, bas not worked well in South I Carolina. _ The New Governor. [From ths Darlington Southerner.] We trust that with the inauguration of Governor Moses comes harmony and pros? perity to the State. All parties appear to look to him to redress their wrongs and to make the crooked straight. If he succeeds In satisfying " many men ol many minds,'' he will be a conqueror Indeed. He has a dif? ficult role to play-one that requires moder? ation, courage, and a determination to do that whloh ls right In the face of prejudice and passion. He, doubtless, does not forget that there may be thorns amid the bays which bind his brow. We hope that no needless stumbling-blocks will be thrown In his way ; that he may fulfil the moat sanguine hopes of bis friends, and disappoint the evil prognos? tics of his enemies ; and that In adopting, as we are convinced he will, a conciliatory and paolflo course, the whole people will unite In sustaining him in every measure that he may I advocate for the welfare of his State and their?. ._. &mit0im*?its.
