Editor Herald— Hero are we, two dan -
iaene of the wild and wooly west, In th#
heart of old “Luonoo Town,” wb«N
signs atevery crossing tel) people to "tarn
to the left,” and where driven of heavy
work honco lead their animals, hot if the
aforesaid ‘‘drivers” have a poor little
devil of a donkey or pony they always
ride and load them heavily la proportion.
Another beautiful habit of theirs is to
charge move totide la a two-wheeled cart
than In a four-wheeler. It is R very com-
mon thing to see a little pony or donkey,
not larger than a good big dog, pulling a
cart as weighty as our heaviest butchers’
carts, with a load and a couple of big,
husky Englishmen aboard.
Talk aboot Webfoot! England can dis
count it for rain. Aa lam writing, the
“miat” is descending by the bucketful,
and the narrow streets (they are all nar
row) are nothiag hot creeks of muddy
water.
We bad bean long!* for the sight of
aa American and the sound of a Yankee
voice, and day before yesterday our bopaa
were realised. The (ace smiled at aa. and
the voice said the American was “abort"
and waited twenty big U. 8. dollars. We
don’t know whether we want to aee any
more folka from our aide of the water or
not. However, our "friend” wae from
Boston, and not from "bunch-gram.”
We are domiciled at No. 10 Crnvan
•treat, juat a block from Charing Croaa,
the moat central part of London. Within
a lew blocks of oa are Leioaatar Square,
Trafalgar Square, the houses of parlia
ment, the Hotel Metrople,
Hotel Victoria, owl the principal tbealreo.
The English people are without doubt the
moat clumsily dressed of any the world’s
prominent nations. They have good ma
terials and fabrics with which to adorn
themselves, but “ It, their clothes
don’t fit'em r
The hand organ seems to be aa institu
tion in thia “bloomin’ ” kad, and they
can be heard wheeling their longs out at
every turn and comer; yet the people
stand it, and lodging-house keepers seem
to aid and abet them. Whan tbs hand
organ doesn’t groan, some galoot or other
comes around and aerenadea os, and hr
has to have some coppers; it’s a clear
case of “coppers” all around.
The streets here are mostly narrow,
the Strand, Picadilly and Regent streets
being the finest. The streets remind me
of a “gag” we beard at Tony Pastor’s, in
New York. There were a team of come
dians on the stage, and said one, “Did
you bear about the horrible collision?”
Of course tbs other said, “No ; what was
it?” “Fourth street ran into tbs Bow
ery,” was the reply. That thing is hap
pening right along here, as shoot half the
streets run one into another.
Good Lord! How we would like to sit
down to ft good, old, western “square.’’
it takes s millionaire to bay s square
meal in this “blssdin’ ” country—for they
do bleed you every chance they get.
And the ladies—God bless ’am I may
their shadows never grow less—they are
healthy and fresh-loooking, many very
handsome; but, shades of the immortal

A person familiar with railroad affairs
ean look at a train aa it dashes hy and
tell, by the numbers of tbs cart, of what
class of cars the train is composed. On
the Northern Pacific railroad the emigrant
cars are numbered from 400 to 600. The
care numbered from 600 to 600 are smok
ing cars. Those bearing numbsrs between
NOO and 900 are first-class coaches and
the dining cart are numbered from 900 to
1000. The sleepers are named, as are all
tbe Pullman sleeping cars. As yet, none
ef the cars bear numbers from 700 to 800.
Perhaps the railroad la reserving these
numbers for some new feature In railroad
architecture, or perhaps a superior class
of can to make up a limited express are
to be designated by these numbers.

“Have you ever been in prison?" asked

Have you ever been in prison, air?"
“Ye*, sir, once,” answered the witness,
looking modestly down to the floor.
“Yes, I thought so. Now when were
you in prison, air?”
“In 1863."
“Where, air?'’
The witness hesitated.
“Come, own up—no dodging," scream
ed the lawyer. “Now, where were yon
in prison, sir?"
“In—ln—in—”
“Don’t stammer, sbt Out with it!
Where was It?”
“In-In Anderson villa, air."
There was a moment's painful pause.
Then the lawyer, who wee an old soldier,
pot his band to hi* forehead as if a pistol
shot had torock him, while the teen came
to hie eyes. Then jumping forward, be
clasped his arms around the witness’ neck
and exclaimed:

It has been computed that between 86,-
006,000 and 37,000,000 babies an born
into the world each year, asya the Leeds
Mercury. The rate of production ia there
fore about seventy a minute, or rather
more than ooe for every beat of the dock.
With the one-a-minnte calculation every
reader familiar, but it la not every
one who stops to calculate what this
means when it oomee to a year’s supply.
And It win probably, therefore, startle a
good many persona to And, oo the auth
ority of a writer ia the hospital, that
could the infanta of a year be noged in a
line in cradles seven deep they would go
around the globe. We have the ingeni
ous conclusion also that supposing the
little ones to grow up and the sexes to be
about equally divided, we would have an
army a hundred times aa large as the
forces of the British empire, with a wife
ia addition to every eoldier. The same
writer looks at the matter In a still more
picturesque light. He imagines the ba
bies being carried peat a given point in
their mothers’ charge one by ooe and the
procession being kept up continuously,
night and day, until the last comer in the
twelve month has passed by. A suffici
ently liberal rate of speed is allowed, but
even with these babies*in-arms going
twenty-five a minute the rear wing oAcer
would only have seen a sixth fart of the
infantine boot file onward by the time be
had been a year at his post. Ia other
words, the bane that bed to be carried
when the work began would be aide to
toddle oaward itaelf when a mere fraction
of its comrades had reached the saluting
pool; and when the year’s supply of
babies was tapering to a close there would
be a roar guard, not of infants, but of
romping boya and girls. They would
have pawed. In fact, out of the maternal
arms into the hands of the school teacher.
Every moment of nearly seven years
would be required to complete this grand
parade of those little ones that in the
coarse of a twelvemonth begin to flay
their pert in the flret age of man.
THE CENSUS IN 1890.
!■ Estimate of the Population if Um
Grant Cities.
Waskla|tM Territory la Krawlai
Mare BapMly Tkaa Amy other
Tart af the ralam.
Tbe census of 1880 reduced tbe sup
posed population of a great many cities.
Some of them lost all the way from 30,000
to 60,000 inhabitants. The “cold facts"
overturned a great many theories. Tbe
census of 189.) will probably produce sim
ilar results. There la always a material
difference between tbe speculative esti
mates of population and the facta set
down in the census. The per cent. of in
crease in population will be shown to be
larger in that part of tbe northwest terri
tory between the Rocky mountains and
the Pacific than in any other part of the
country. But this per cent, of increase
does not in all cases show tbe actual
growth. A small population may double
quicker than a large one. But the decade
soon to cloee has witnessed more Impor
tant changes in tbe northwest than any
other part of tbe country.
Ten yean ago, for instance, very little
was heard aooot Dakota territory. Now
it la about to be admitted ioto the Union
as two prosperous states. Tbe Puget
Sound country did not attract a great
deal of attention. But since tbe com
pletion of the Northern Pacific railroad,
Washington territory haa not only drawn
to it population, but it has attracted men
of capital and enterprise. In the last
years of the present decade several
large cities are springing up along the
shores of Puget Sound; the commercial
fleet frequenting Utoee waters has doubled
three or four times, and tbe site of a navy
yard la about to be designated somewhere
on the Sound. In the ten yean from
1880 to 1880 the increase of population
for tbe whole country wae 90 per cent.
Tbe increase shown by the next census
will probably not be leas, baaed upon a
larger population.
An eastern contemporary estimates
that tbe next census will show a popula
tion In the state of New York of 6,000,000
and in Pennsylvania 5,000,000. Ohio will
have 8.8J0.000 and Illinois 8.600,000.
These are extreme figures. The census
may reduce them materially. Tbe same
authority estimates the population of tbe
eight leading citiea of the country as
follows:
New York 1,600,000
Philadelphia 1:030,000
Chicago e. 94),000
Brooklyn 860.0J0
fit. Louie 460,00u
Baltimore 435.0U0
Boeton 426,000
Sen Francisco 360,000
Cincinnati ie rated below Ban Francisco,
but the former is the commercial capital
of a state having, by recent estimates, al
most four millions of people. It is evident
that the lake ports have bad some in
fluence in retarding the growth of Cin
cinnati. Cleveland and Toledo are loom
ing op as great commercial cities. Then
the estimates for Chicago appear to be
inflated. Bat that city has recently an
nexed a number of populous suberbe, and
may be able to come as near making good
Sts claim to its extreme estimate, as some
of the other cities. Not many years ago
Chicago and fit. Louis were having hot
contentions as to their respective popula
tion. Each claimed the largest number.
But according to recent estimates, fit.
Louis at the next census will have only
about half the population of Chicago. If
New York should annex Brooklyn, of
which there ie now some prospects, at or
near the close of the present decade, it
would be the second largest city in the
world. It now looks as if Chicago, whose
beginnings are within the memory of
many men now living, would in 1800 be
the ninth city as to population in the
world. The next decade will probably be
distinguished in the Northwest Pacific
states aa one of more remarkable growth
than any preceding one. The Increase
of tbs maritime cities will be unprece
dented. The arid lands ot the interior
will be brought under cultivation by the
use of water, and wherever irrigation ia
adopted to any considerable extent, lands
will be subdivided and large rural popu
lations will be concentrated.

General Adna Anderson, wboas death
was announced aeveral days ago, wae one
of the most prominent chrfl engineers this
country has ever produced. He began
his professional career on the Western
railroad of Massachusetts thirty-five years
ago. He located a number of railroads
before the war, the Michigan Southern.
Northern Indiana and the Mobile A Ohio
being the most notable roods. He was
alao before the war chief engineer of the
Tennessee A Alabama, Tilgnflslij A Ken
tucky and other southern railroads.
At the conclusion of the war. In which
be had served gallantly and with distinc
tion, and during which he was chief en
gineer of construction of the government
military roads, be became the superin
tendent of the Kansas Pacific railroad.
He alao served with much ability aa vice
president and general manager of the
Toledo, Wabash A Western railroad. He
wu appointed by the Chicago, Drnville
A Vincennes railroad and wan aleo at
variooe time* chief engineer and general
manager of tome Kentucky roada.
General Anderaon was engineer in chief
of the Northern Pacific from the beginning
of the year 1880 until November, 1887.
One year of that time September, 1886,
to September, 1887—be was aleo eecond
rice-president of the road with headquar
ter* at Tacoma.
During the time he waa engineer in
chief, the main line of the rood wae ex
tended from the croaaing of the Missouri
river at Biemarck to Tacoma, and beetdea
numerous branch Hnea wen built in Mon
tana, Dakota and Washington.
When General Anderaon waa elected
chief engineer of the Northern Pacific rail
road be received a larger salary and had
located and constructed more mOeo of rail
rood than any other American engineer.
It appears that since 1874 about thirty
thomand enlisted nten have deserted
from the United States army; an average
of about two thousand a year, or nearly
10 per cent annually. This may be at
tributed to one or more of three causae
the service, and opportunities for doing
better outside of It
