THE PROGRESS OF A DECADE , It is Being Discovered in Omaha by the \ Oensus Enumerators , g NOT A VERY PROFITABLE BUSINESS. Tlio Kmployos of Unolo Sam I'11 nil I'lcnty of Hard Work mill Very Ijlttlo Pay An lilc- valor Vlotliu. Yesterday the day on which the taking of the eleventh United States census was ordered commenced. A repirtor started out bright nnd early to intercept some of the enumerators and note the remit of their inquiries as to the comll- tlon of tlio pcoplo In the several local district trict- * . Several bottles of liniment and rolls of bandages wcro carried to be used In cuso of emergency. 1' . J. Barrett , the ox-jailer , had been ap pointed to canvass the Fifth district , lying between the river antl Thirteenth street , and Hickory and Dorcas streets. Thinking 'that this district would bo a aourco of Interesting information , Mr. Bar rett's residence was visited where It was ai- cf'rtnlnod that the gentleman wns in Chey- cnne earning an honest living nnd there was no probability of his returning to court death ut ttio hands of his neighbors. Nat.I. Kngllsh.llvltiK at 1207 Martha street , had boon assigned to the district next north of Mr. Harrott's. A call at his house revealed the fact that ho had received his appointment only yesterday morning nnd had gotio up town to ascertain what were the duties devolving upon him. Arthur 11. llrlggs , the hatter on Fourteenth street , had been assigned to the district bounded by Ninth street nnd the river und Douglas and Jackson streets. It was learned that Mr. JJrlggs had de clined to bo sacrificed on the attar of his country und had refused the- lucrative posi tion of census enumerator to assume the moro onerous ono of collector for himself , a duty upon which ho entered with some Interest yesterday morning. An attempt was made to find Thomni Cook , the supervisor of the census In this district , but that gentleman was in Lincoln. At the postonieo it was learned that the documents and blanks for the enumerators had been received by mail this morning and thiriy-uightrof these gentlemen had called for their packages. As there are instructions enough in theso'paekages to keep a man busy reading for three or four days it Is not likely that inueh work In the way of canvassing will be done before the latter part of the week. A few of the enumerators received their papers last week , but the majority did not receive - ceivo theirs until yesterday. Nearly all of those who received thctrblanks went to work at an early hour vesterday morning. Among those was Seth Cole , who has been assigned to District 10 , bounded on the north by Cass , cast by the Missouri , south by Douglas and west by Ninth street. "How much are you going to make out of 111" was asked of the general enumerator. "There Isn't u ten-dollar bill in it for mo. " "How sol Don't you get a certain amount for every name and every manufactory ! " "Yes , but 1 can't populate the bottoms. You know how many people thcro are down there. Uesldes I've ' just received an order that I ahull not bo held responsible for enumerating tlio manufactories in my dis trict bncuu.su it has bceu decided not to re cord them. " Mr. Uolo showed the order , which also stated that It had been decided not to make Inquiry into social affairs. The moaning of the last clause could not bo definitely ascertained in the absence of the instructions ami Superintendent Cook who , It scums , has no rcprcdcntativo in this city. Tills gentleman stated a week ago that his headquarters would bo at Lincoln but that ho would probably visit this city twice a week at which times ho would stop at the Millard. The experience of Leo Hartley , the enum erator who lias charge of the Twenty-llrst district , which is bounded on the north by Douglas street , on the west by Fifteenth , on the south by Jackson und on the cast by Twelfth , was somewhat varied. When the clock in the tower of the high school building pointed its index linger nt the figure seven. Mr. Hartley was ou his way to list tlio people of his district , thinking tnat by starting early ho would Hud them at home. To get his hand in his Ural stop was nt Drexel it Maul's , where Kll Gish was just - a corpse for shipment east. Mr. isli answered nil the questions in a highly satisfactory munnoiv > nnd now enjoys the hon ored distinction of being the first Omaha man whoso name was put upon the census roles' of l&'JO. Having broken tlio leo Mr. Hartley next tried Orchard's carpet store , but ns no ono was nt homo ho Journeyed southward , trying the ofllces of the professional men in Q rani to block , but these men were out nnd after climbing to tha top of the building and then down again ho was inclined to throw up his job nnd return to his printing. In this frame of mind ho sat upon the steps of the Kamgo building during the space of ten minutes , when upon looking up , ho spied Judge Julius Cooley coining down the street. Cooley was halted , and after answering the questions regarding his age , birth , nationality und future prospects for a hereafter , the question , "What is your occu pation ( " was propounded. This struck the Judge in u tender spot , but striking a tragic attitude , ho braced up anil responded , "An actor , bo gad. " and so It was recorded , and so It will go into the archives of the nation. Once moro Hartley started on his weary roundsthis time going to the topmost floor of the itanigu nlock , where thirty telephone ) op erators had Just congregated. In making this trip Mr. Hartley's idea was to make money , and a * he is paid 2 cents for each name ho enumerates he counted on W ) cents as tlio re sult of thii venture , but again he was doomed to another bitter disappointment , for none of tlio operators were residents of his district , and down live flights of stairs ho wearily trudged , fully realizing that if ho made any money ho would be compelled to work for it. The next stop was made on Jackson street , nnd walking up to the front door of rather a line looking house , ho rang the door bell. This brought the servant to the door , nnd in a boiler factory tone of voice she informed the employe of Uncle Sam that map peddlers were not ullowcd on the premises , and if he did not get out the bull dog that had not lasted blood for seven days would bo un- tctheml. Hartley vainly tried to argue the point , but it was no use , mid was about to give up In disgust , when the man of the house came to the rescue , aud live names wcro recorded on the sheets , each Individual answering correctly , though ouo young woman , who might have passed for thirty , averred she was only sixteen past. Down the street n boarding house was struck , and at this point Hartley eaiiturod twenty-live persons , whoso ages ranged from twelve months up to sixty years. Every question was answered according to the schedule laid down iu tlio printed form , though one young man stated ho would not answer u question , If the WOO ho hud In the bank was going to bo assessed. Ho was as sured that It would not bo , after which ho talked trcoly and oven went so far as to ten der the information that while ho was not the head of a family just then , ho expected to lie before tlio end of the month , if the girl's parents did npt object. Hartley was not dealing In futures , so the young man , whoso iiiuno might bo James C. Hatter , was recorded us single. The balance of tlio day was put In by working - ing the block , and at six o'clock the enumer ator returned to his homo hungry and foot sore , and in costing up his accounts for the day bo llgurcd out that ho had earned just The questions regarding the various dis eases to which llesli and blood sometimes be come subject were touched upon very lightly , and the usual qusctlon , "Aro you in good health ! " covered the entire ground. * A MY3TKKYKxi IiAIXED. A D.iK oT Cioltl mill How It AViiH Ob- tuiiiiMl A Laboring Man 1'rovoa Ills Ownership What Ho Will Do With It.

A HOUUUJLU INCIDENT OP AVAIL What One MUM Told ami What More May Silently Kcmembcr. "I had just sold my commission as lieutenant in the British army when the Franco-Prussian war opened , " said an Englishman a few elays ago to some irionds at the bar of the Hoffman house , says the Now York Sun. "I had still seine pretty strong hankerings after an active military career , and , as I had boon disappointed in the business pro ject that had induced mo to relinquish the liono of seointr further service with tlio reel coats , I joined the Foreign Legion of tlio French army , and in the following half year any craving I might have had for lighting was amply grati fied. I had many adventures , some of them startling enough , but ono , to which no personal danger was attached , stands out at times with unpleasant dis tinction in my memory. "A few weeks before all French hopes of final success were buried at Sedan a portion of my corps was dotae-hed to en gage a party of Prussians that had been harmssliig sonic villages near MotVo found the enemy readily enough , but they had boon strongly reinforced , and though wo drove them back after sev eral hours of very hard lighting , wo suf fered severely. "Night had fallen before the firing ceased , and I was sent with an order to an otllcer on a distant part of the field. The moon was shining as I returned , and 1 was walking .my horse , as the animal was very tired , when I roincd him in quickly , because a fcoblo voice called to me. " 'Sir , ' it said , in very good English , 'I rccogni/.o you as an olllcor of the foreign legion. You are an Englishman , I think- . Will you do me a very great favor and a. last favor. ' "I dismounted and found a young French ollicor lying at my foot. His sword and pistols wore gene and ho was desperately wounded. His eyes wore almost clewed , the death damp lay cold and heavy on his forohcad , and little specks e > t foam ami blood wore on his lips. Ouo bullet had passed completely through his body , tearing his lungs in its passage , and ho was gashed and per forated in half a dozen other places. " 'What can I do for you ? ' 1 asked. " 'I am sulToring horribly , ' ho gasped , 'and I may live for tin hour yet. Will you have the great kindness to blow out my brains and end my agony ; " "I looked very closely at the poor fel low. 1 know something about gunshot wounds tint ! It was as clear to mo as as is- the sun at noon that ho had no earthly chance of living until the dawn. " 'I cannot take your life , ' I said , 'but if you deslro it I will lend you my pistol and turn my head away. ' " 'Thank you , ' ho muttered , gratefully - fully ; 'that will do just as well. I have still enough strength loft to pull the trigger. You will llnd a llask of eau do vie and a bundle of cigars in the pewkot of my cloak- . They are yours , mou ami. Talco them , I entreat you. Adioul' "Silently I handed him the weapon and turned away. A sharp report rang out. When I looked again at the French man ho had ceased to suffer. I took Iho pistol from liis hand and rode away quickly. "I have boon condemned for the part [ playoel in this tragedy , but I have never blameel myself.

"Wo'vo n sheriff with banged hair in Now Yorlc"salda well known politician the other elay to a Sun reporter , "and ho is the llrst ono who over held that olllco in-owned with such n handicap. W. Walter Phelps , our most popular minis ter abroad , bangs his hair , und it begins to look as though there might bo an upldemlc of this sort of thing. Perry Itelmont parts his hair in the middle , and so do a dozen more of our popular politicians. There was a time when a man who indulged in any of those ec centricities would have boon doomed to Instant defeat In American political life. The public is growing more and moro liberal now every day. In England the man who poboel as a rank radical for many years Joseph Chamberlain , to- wit parted his hair in the middle and were a slnglo glass , and vet the workmen - men simply worshipped him. No man i'ould wear u slnglo glai > s , however , ami still bo a radical. Mr. Chamberlain succumbed to the inlluonco of the inonoclo after a time and joined the con servatives. 1 hope Sickles' bang will not have a similar oll'uct ou him. " ANOTHER MURDERERS' ' DAY The OhronUtar and Nistol SucpaoU nrc Brought Into Court , ONE THINKS HE MAY GET MONET , Tlio Other Hag Money TliriiHL Upon Him , an Also n Lawyer Who la .Retained by n Cable gram. Yesterday was nn alleged murderers' day li district court , with Judge Clarksou presid ing. ing.Tony Tony Frank , the lovc-bralnod young fellow with a bronze of hot foreign skies upon his face , was arraigned on the charge of murder In the Hrst degree. As tlio county attorney went through the formality of rending the information , charg ing him witli premcdltatedly taking the life ot Wllllnui Cronlstor , the peddler , Frank's treacherous looking eyes watched his dark skinned lingers play nervously with an old straw hat which ho had worn from tlio Jail U the court house. When information had been read and the court asked the prisoner what would be his plea. Frank glanced up in a startled way and replied : "O , I plead not guilty not guilty you know , Judge. " "Havo you any money to employ counsel ! " nsked tlio court. ' No , " replied the prisoner , and then after considerable hesitancy ho added : "That Is , 1 haven't no money now , but then oh you know but you see , Judge , I expect somo. " The court then told him that the best thing ho could do was to arrange his matters as speedily as possible. If lie know ho would get money from somewhere ho had Ixjt- tcr employ counsel immediately , the judge said , as it would ho necessary to try the ciso ; at no very distant day. The county attorney said Unit ho had set the case for Juno 11. Frank was then led back to his cell , and James Heynolds took his place before the bar. Hoynolds is the young elmp charged with shooting Nistel , the faithful young clerk of Mr. Hamberger on South Thirteenth street. It was n matter regarding counsel that Reynolds was brought into court to discuss. County Attorney Mahoney addressed the judge and said that the attorneys which the court had appointed to defend Reynolds , had declined in favor of Judge Baldwin und that the latter would explain. Judge Baldwin then came forward nnd said that It- had been discovered that Rey nolds' parents resided in London , Eng. Through n London attorney of well known stuudlng the parents had cabled retaining him , Judge Baldwin , to take the case. Ho said that lie had no idea how his name hud reached London and ho was very sure that ho had no cappers in the county Jail. Ho said that the. cablegram also stated that although Reynolds' parents wcro in but moderate cir cumstances , yet ho had bccu assured that ills fee would bo paid promptly. Judge Baldwin then asl < cd the court that the trial bo postponed until next September , as it would bo impossible for him to prepare for it In the short time remaining in this term. The request was granted , Mr. Mahoney also being of the opinion that a postponement would bo well as , in the meantime , Reynold's companion on the night the crime was com mitted , might bo caught. It was learned that the arguments for n now trial for Ncal would not be made until the last of Juno or tirstof July , Mr. Gurley , of counsel for prisoner , going away to bo married. George Brown , charged with snatching n purse containing a small sum from Mrs. Anna M. Kenan's hand on May II , was put on trial before Judge Clarkson and a Jury. United States Court. Judge Groff occupied the bench with Judge Dutuly tills morning for a short while , and after the criminal cases had been dis posed of went among Ids friends in the court shaking hands. Morris Robinson of Lincoln , was arraigned for sending obscene matter through the mails. Robinson , it seems , suspected his wife's fidelity and sent her letters accusing her of it , which embodied some rather racy language. Since the receipt of the letters , tlio wife has sued and obtained a divorce from him. Robinson did not deny the charge , and was lined $100 and costs. Peter Sweeney of Children , a youth , ac cused of selling liquor to Indians at the Rose bud agency , pleaded guilty to tlio charge. IIo was fined $10 and costs and remanded to the custody of the mar shal for live days' imprisonment. District Court. Judge Doano heard tlio ease of John Thomas against Thomas Kirk. This was a case in which Kirk had given Thomas a note for SOO in 1837 for money loaned. Kirk paid interest ut the rate .of 510 jicr month for nearly two years on this note and then con cluded ho had paid enough. Thomas did not ngrco with him and foreclosed a mortgage on Kirk's team of horses. The horses were ro- plevined und Thomas brought suit to recover the team. The c.tso was given to the jury last evening and a verdict returned giving Kirk possession ot the horses and assessing Ills damages atSl. Judge Hopowcll is engaged in hearing the cnso of Churchill Parker against the Rock Island plow company for .1,000 damages for violating a contract. Mr. Parker had u con tract with the plow company to act as their exclusive agent in this territory , tlio contract expiring October ill , 1SSS. In September of that year Lininger & Metcalf closed a con tract with the plow company to act ns their agent , after the expiration of Parker's con tract. Lininger & Metcalf made a display at tlio state fair in September , advertising that they were the agents of the plow company , whereby Parker claims to have been dam- ogcd inhis business to the extent of 5,000.

How the Imperial Authorities Puiilnli Holders of OlTeiiHlvo OninlniiH. Now York Sun : Gorman editors nro BO accustomed to being vrcstod , lined nnd imprisoned that they usually accept tholr Bharo of imperial discipline with out protest or complaint. Tlio Gorman joiirniilibt , said tlio Vossisoho Zoitung recently , la constantly doing un egg ( Inn cu between "gross misdemeanor" ou tlio ono sldo nnd "insult of majesty" or "disrespect of atato institutions" on tlio othor. Two cases of brutal abuse of editors imprisoned for political ollonses Iu Germany huvo , however , aroused a storm of indigimiion in all the radical newspaper ollices of Germany and Aus tria. llorr Boshart was editor-ln-chlof of the Gotlni Gazette , n radical daily in Snohson-C'oburg-Gotlw. IIo was a keen nnd courageous writer , and consequently had no end of trouble with the little princeling of his province. Some tlmo ago lie was condemned to imprisonment for the ! Uth or sixth time , nnd was in carcerated lii the Iclibcrhaiison penitentiary , near Erfurt. There ho waa barbarously maltreated. A few weeks after the be ginning of his confinement his wlfo was admitted to him. She found him with head and face close shaven and in the cast-olT , patched , and unwashed prison suit of the previous occupant of his coll. When ho perceived the horror of his wife on account of his pitiable appear ance lie began to weep. She bogged him to dry his tears. lie answered Hint ho could not , us the jailer had taken all his handkerchiefs , lie had nlso boon de prived of all his linen , underclothes , and overgarments , na well as of eoap , towels , bniMies und slippers. Although ho had nil abundance of money the privilege of till ether prisoners to buy a place at the keeper's table was denied to him. Frnu Boshart was carefully watched through out her visit iu her uusuaud'u cell iu order thft aho she might bo provcntci from lonvlng with Jilm any Articles o oomfort. The Klborfoldor Froio 1'rosso tolls story of similar abuses In the cuso o August Bolgor , editor mid proprietor c the WoslphalhmWorklngmon'sGazelle Bolgor was imprwoned last mimme under the drag-not press law , which con templates "gross uusdemcanor. " Whoi his term was about to expire ho wn brought in chains to court In Dort mttnu to got another dose of imperial porial justice. Jlho insulting of i policemen atul dtevospcct of state Instl tlons were the new charges ngalnst him lie was found guilty1 and sentenced ti ono month more. : IIorr Bolgcr has beet unable to toll anyone outside of prtsoi concerning his luo in confinement , ant so , despite the protests of the court , hi partly freed his mind ot the complaint ; that hud boon Accumulating in it ovei since ho began "doing time. " Ho was shaved clean , ho said , his hair was cu close , and ho was put into a convlct'i unwashed suit , although men in tin BAtno prison for felonious assaults wen permitted to wear a hoard and tholi own clothes. Ho was kept in Bolltarj conllncment , without a word to read , When ho complained the turnkey would give him a pile of blockings to darn Loiters that ho wrote to his wlfo were overlooked by prison olllcials , and ovorj line referring to the maltreatment he wius receiving was stricken out. The most aggravated feature of the maltreatment of Boshart and Bolgei was that it was unlawful and could take place only with the connivance of high olllolals who could have no interest in aiding and approving mich acts of bar barity unless they had boon inspired by superior authority. General Dix'n Faiuons Order. Concerning General Mix's famous dis patch : "If any man attomps to haul down the American Hag shoot him on the spot ! " General Sickles said to a re porter a day or two ago : "On receipt of the news from Now Orleans that an attempt had been made to seize a reve nue cutter , General Dix impulsively wrote that splendid dispatch with the true ring of patriotism and fight in it. But ho no boonor saw it in black and white than he began to hesitate mid doubt. IIo lirst consulted the attorney general , and the result of their delibera tions was approval by the latter , but Until resolve was had on Dlx's part to submit the message to the presi dent before sending it. On the way to the white house I .met the two ollicors and General Dix showed mo the dispatch as ho had written it , and , stating the cir cumstances , added that the attorney gen eral approved it. 'Then send it at once , ' I said. 'The attorney general's approval is sullicient. ' Still General Dix hesi tated , when I said to him ; 'General , if you send that dispatch the president will approve of it as highly proper and in the right-if ey. If you show it to him it will never bo sent. ' It was sent , Bu chanan did approv6 it and the north was wild ever it for ivookn. General Dix narrowly escaped imperishable fume on that occasion.

" This wow Mr. Samuel Strong , an old man who spent his life , from sixty to eighty , bat tling with the worst of debtors the United States government , says a Now York letter. IIo was a contractor bore for many year.3 , and under the pictur esque regime of .Governor Shepherd , when Washington had a local govern ment , a legislature , etc. , ho performed much work for the government. The amounts alleged to , bo duo went way up Into $500,000 and $ GOOOQO. The old man hud to put up witJi the law's delay. General Butler got mixed up in it , and his last act against the old man was an indictment for forgery. Mr. Strengthen then over eighty years of ago , for it only occurred a low months ago stoutly refused - fused to give bail and went to jail. After spending several weeks in prison , his family and friends induced him to give bail and como out. But this last blow was too much for him. He broke down and died after a brief illness. In his will he loft instructions that tlio suits should bo prosecuted by his heirs to the bitter end. A great crowd of the most respect able citizens attended his funeral. No body believed him to bo a forger. A Wonderful Transformation. A tadpole , the larva of a frog , has a tail and no legs , gills instead of lungs , a heart precisely like that of a fish , n horny beak for eating vegetable food and spiral intestines for digesting it. With the approach preach of maturity the hind logs appear , then the front ones ; the beak falls oil' , the tail and gills waste away , the lun s nro created ; the digestive apparatus is changed to suit the animal diet ; the he-art becomes reptilian in typo by tlio addition of another auricle ; intact , skin , muscles , nerves and blood vessels vanish , being absorbed atom by atom , while u now suit is being substituted. a complaint from which many suffer IS and few are entirely froo.
