AMERICAN MATTERS OF INTEREST

There was a certain Colonel Popjoy in Virginia who was said to possess an ironclad interior; and who could drink the "Ugliest" whisky neat without turning a hair. He had been in the daily habit of visiting the village store and of going directly to the jug that held the whisky and drinking a liberal portion without the preliminary of pouring it into a glass. One day the storekeeper turned just in time to see the colonel replacing the jug from which he had taken his customary draught. He grew alarmed, for the jugs had in someway become displace, and the one which the Colonel had set back contained diluted sulphuric acid. The Colonel walked out of the store without remark, and the proprietor waited in terror to hear the news of his horrible death. None came, and the storekeeper marvelled much. The next morning, at his usual hour, in walked the Colonel, rosy and cheerful as usual. "Mornin’, Jones!" he said, as he made directly for the jug. "This new whisky of yours has a queer flavour, but I don’t object to it." "has it disagreed with you in any way?" asked the astonished Jones. "Not at all. But there is one thing I’ve noticed. Ever since I drank it yesterday I’ve seemed to blow holes in my pocket-handkerchief."

Mr. Stead has engaged Mr. Albert Shaw of Minneapolis as his American editor at a salary of $5000 a year. Mr. Shaw has sailed for America after consulting with his chief, and this month arrangements will be made to republish, re-edit, and re-cast the Review of Reviews in New York. Mr. Shaw’s duties will be to give the magazine and American dress and secure for it a circulation in the United States. Mr. Stead says that he has in Mr. Shaw "an editor after his own heart."

American friends of two clever Transatlantic ladies will be gratified to hear that Mrs. Alice Shaw, the belle sufleuss, is successful in Russia and that Anna Comtesse de Bremont (born in Cincinnati) will shortly publish a novel, of which report speaks in terms of commendations.

The United States Minister, Mr. Lincoln, is once more in London. He crossed the Atlantic in the North German steamer Saale. The Minister, who is in good health, was met at the station by the staff of the Legation.

Sergius Stepniak, the Russian Nihilist exile, novelist, and journalist, recently arrived at New York, has been the guest of William Dean Howells. He admires, among Americans, William Dean Howells, Edward Bellamy, and Edward Everett Hale, as having a deep interest in human welfare, apart from racial caste.

Mr. Jay Gould thinks that the Great Republic can learn something both in finance and politics from England. He would like to see an institution like the Bank of England established in the United States; but his fear is that it would speedily become a political machine. What is wanted, in Mr. Gould’s opinion is "some such flexibility in our Congressional system as England has, so that when a vote of confidence cannot be gained in Congress by a Government. The leader of that Government must go to the country at once."

Mrs. Custer, widow of the cavalry General and Indian fighter has received a pension of but $600 a year since her husband was killed in battle. She has now asked to have this doubled.

Miss Nelly Kelly, of the Ohio State Journal, is a regular "first-wire" operator of the Associated Press, at eh same salary this is paid to first-wire men. She deals with 15,000 words in a night, and at 2:30 am she goes home alone unmolested.

Two American vocalists, Madame Belle Cole and Mr. Orlando Harley, appeared at the Lyric Club concert on Thursday last. The elegant saloons of this fashionable club were largely attended, and the musical arrangements were excellent in every respect. Mr. Luther Munday, the secretary and musical manager displays consummate taste and tact in the selection of the programmes. He announces Mr. Sims Reeves, for Feb. 26 and in March he hopes the Mr. George Alexander will appear in a short play. Herr and Madame Stavenhagen will give a pianoforte recital on Jan. 25.

Castle Garden, which ceased to be an immigrant depot in May last, has been handed over by the State authorities to the City of New York, and is once more a place or recreation. It will be turned over to the City Park Commission, the wooden additions will be removed, and the old castle will be left standing in the Battery Park. Castle Garden was built for a fortress in 1807 and in 1855 it was first used as a landing place for immigrants from which time down to May last the names of 9,720,667 immigrants were recorded on its books. In speaking of Castle Garden the late superintendent said :"To me that old garden was a living poem; sometimes cheerful and ofttimes dolorous. I have seen many sad and many joyous scenes. I have seen shipwrecked people and homeless passengers; have seen families reunited and families separated for ever."

Max O’Rell has arranged a lecturing tour in America this year, and Mr. Charles Collette may visit the Pacific coast in the autumn. The vivacious Charles ought to be immensely popular out West, where exuberant animal spirits combined with intelligence are greatly appreciated.

THE EARL OF CAITHNESS

James Augustus Sinclair, sexteenth Earl of Caithness, in the Peerage of Scotland died Jan 20 at his residence 2, Queen’s-Gardens, Lancaster-gate in his sixty-four year. He succeeded to the family honours in 1889, on the death of his remote Kinsman, George, Fifteenth Earl who died unmarried in his thirty-second year, and was buried according to ancient hereditary custom, in Holyrood Abbey. The deceased Earl, who was the head of a minor branch of the house of Caithness known as the Sinclairs of Durran, and who was the son of Colonel John Sutherland Sinclair, R.A., spent the greater part of his life in Aberdeen, and took a leading part in social and philanthropic work in that city. He represented in the direct line the family of the Sinclairs, Lords of Roslin and Dukes of Oldenburg, who settled in Scotland with other Normans in the reign of King David I., after remaining about a century in England subsequently to the Norman Conquest.

THE COMING CENSUS

For the tenth time the people of these realms are about to be numbered. On Monday, April 6 every head of a family in England and Wales will be called upon to furnish particulars of his household to the Census-takers. Unless he wishes to present the State with a gratuity of five pounds, he must reveal the age, sex, birthplace rank or occupation of every person under his roof. It will be necessary also to state whether the ladies are married or single, and this feature of the statistics may cause a pang in many innocent bosoms. The enumerators will want to know, too, whether any member of the family is blind, deaf, dumb, or imbecile. These inquiries may be a little trying to the temper in some cases, but they are a welcome entertainment compared with the statistics collected by the American census. Our cousins over the ocean are fond of boasting of the superior independence, but they submit to some things, which no English citizen would tolerate. American householders are required to state facts in their private history which wild horses would not drag from any Briton. Suppose a respectable ratepayer receives a document in which is requested to furnish details of his family history designed to enable scientific gentlemen to draw conclusions as to the effects of hereditary disease? An inquiry of this nature may rap with painful distinctness at the cupboard where the domestic skeleton is immured. That melancholy effigy is not usually exhibited even to the privileged members of the family circle. Except in moments of internecine exasperation, it docs not emerge from its retirement and take a seat at the domestic board. It is not interviewed even y the bosom friends of the house, if they can avoid it. But what can be the feelings of man when he is called, upon by an official paper to rattle the skeleton’s bones through several statistical tables? Yet in the America the census demands this operation, and the bird of freedom meekly submits. This is only one of many instances in which the personal liberty of the American citizen is exposed to invasions, which the British householder would strenuously resist. It is bad enough to be compelled to give even the simplest particulars of one’s household. Who knows the age of a maiden aunt? And who, even if he had mastered that mystery, can have the heart to set it down on a blue paper for officials claws to peck at? It is noteworthy that ladies may act as enumerators. They may leave the schedules on all their neighbours. How are they to resist, the temptation to put in several questions prompted by legitimate curiosity? Miss Jones, who is an enumerator, but loveless, ma be eager to know how many men Miss Brown has jilted. This, when you think of it, is a very momentous subject for investigation. How many people have been jilted in England and Wales in the last ten years? How many of the jilts have come to a melancholy end? Some figures on this point might exercise a very beneficial influence. More useful still would be a return of all the pet aversions in the country. Men we know by their companions, but they would be better known by their prejudices.

It would be advantageous to a sociologist like Mr. Herbert Spencer to have full details of all the hobbies in Britain. This part of the Census would help us to gauge the progress of the national intelligence, which is of vastly greater importance than the national numbers. Carlyle made informal census when he said that the people of Great Britain were "mostly fools," It would be satisfactory to determine, by authorised statistics, how far this calculation is justifiable. Moreover, the great charm of this inquiry would lie in the readiness of every man and woman to state their likes and dislikes. They might denounce the census of their ages as inquisitorial, but the chance of airing their opinions would be hailed as a blessed privilege.
