The total population of Kansas is 533,- 437; this does not include tbe six fron tier counties, from which no returns were made, but where the ooDUlalion is estimated at 4,936, whicn" would make the total population ot the State on the 1st ot March last, 533,373; increase 3,002 since last year. Considering the fact that the grasshopper visitation of last fall caused thousands to leave the State for the winter, and that these had not returned in March, makes the census returns more favorable than could have been expected. PERSONAL. Hinry Ward Beccher is engaged for a lecture at Omaha on the 11th of January. It was said of Gladstone, some jears ago, that Tie would die in a Roman monastery or in a mad house. Dr. Storrs has not decided to resign his Brooklyn pastorate. The first an nouncement was premature. Bessie Turner's long-looked-for novel, "A Woman in the Case," has made its appearance in New York. James Redpath retires from the man agement of the Redpath lecture bureau on account of Ill-health, and is succeeded by Hathaway & Pond. Mrs. Ann Heater, of Wesley City, near Peoria, has recovered $4,750 from the coal company as damages for the loss of her husband falling down a shaft.

Prince Louis Napoleon is suffering from weak sight. He strained his eyes looking at the pretty girls inCremoroe Gardens and the Argyle Rooms. Princes are very mortal even those who have experienced the "baptism oi fire." Tho Princess of Wales, left by the Prince in England while he runs off to India, is going home to Copenhagen, where her father and mother lire, to dream of her happy childhood's hours for tbe next three months. Mr. Gladstone very recntly sold his entire library to a second-hand booksel ler in London. He parted with books whieh one would think he would have held alamos seated presentation copies, keeks filed with his own manuscript netea, etc "The library was bought beak ky Lord Wolvertoe, one of his ear relative, at a small advance. The nroueidiag on Mr. Gladstone's part k re garded as very extraordinary, and s lew mnmenaij to aim neeuttaress belief that he it in sane. Women' Dress In the Last Ceatary. The dress of Queen Charlotte, the bride of the period, is thus described by the chroniclers: On her powdered hair the wore a fly-cap of lace, the latest mode from France, and a coronet of diamonds on her brow. Her dress was ot white satin brocaded with gold, her stomacher covered with diamonds. Her long violet velvet train, looped to her shoulders with bunches of pearls, was borne by ten hndesmaida. The dress nf the bridegroom was of tbe greatest rich nens a coat of velvet or satin, em broidered all round with flowers in col ored silks, and heightened with spangles gold or sIver, and paste buttoas; tbe white satin waistcoat elaboratory em broidered and enriched with similar ornaments. A sword, with richly cut steelbilt, lace ruffles, and shirt-frill, with diamond buckled shoes, completed his attire. Should we seek further to in quire into the wedding life of this fash ionable couple, we fir.d it painfully por trayed by the powerful pencil of Hogarth in his "Marriage a la Mode." There the wife is yawning over her chocolate, while the husband has carelessly thrown .himself into a chair. Cards and card tables show tbe occupation oMhe night. The old faithful steward is leaving the room with looks of despair. Hoping that this and its sad finale is an exag gerated picture of the manners of the time, yet there is no doubt but that society at this period had taken up tbe vanity, freedom and unprofitable modo of existence of the Regency of Louis XV. The toilot was the great sum and business of life, the adjustment of the hair the principal employment. Tako for instance, how a lady of fashion passed her day : At ten, aftet her "dish of Bohea," as it was called, generally takon belore rising, tbe lady arranged herself in a muslin peignoir, or wrtpper, aud had a regular reception of her friends, while with her hair disheveled, she wasjsubmitted, for the first time n the day, to the hands of her hairdresser; for usually she dresses foar or five times a day. Her hair, dragged off her face, covered with powder, plastered with pomatum, and frizzled in stiff curls, was raised, by means of gauze, tet.thers and flowers, into an edifice often equal to her height. Four ells of gauze have J? contained in some of these erec- introduced the last of the most prepos terous height of, it is recorded, about a yard. After an hours plastering and frizzing, the hair-dresser's task was over, and a weary one it was, though enlivened by the animated conversation of the visitor. The remainder of the toilet was finished, the most important of which was tho arrangement of the patches a point ot great interest. Those were made of black silk, gummed and cut into stars, crescent and other formB. Patches had originated in Franco under Louis XV., with a view to show off the whiteness of tho complexion, but they were never worn by women ot dark skins. Great was the art in placing these patches near the eye, the corner of the mouth, the forehead, and the temple. A lady of the world would wear ssven or eight, and each had its special desig nation. She never went without a box of patches to replace any that might ac cidentally fall off; and these little boxes, generally of Battersea, enamel, finely painted bainted by some eminent artist, had usually a tiny looking-glass inserted within the lid to help her repair the accident. Nor was the rouge-pot forgotten, rouge at that time being an indispensable adjunct to the toilet so indispensable, that when Maria An toinette came over to France to marry Louis XVI, and begged to dispense with wearing it, a family conclave was held at Versailles on the subject, followed by a formal order rroai4ke King to put it on a command which she had no alter native but to obey. f London Society. Caarck Pews. There is a speck of history connected with tbe origin of church pews that can not help but prove interesting. In tbe early days of the Anglo-Saxon and some of the Normsn churches a stone bench afforded the only sitting accom modations for members or visitors. In the year 1319 they are spoken of as sit ting on the ground or in a standing pos ture. At a later period the people in troduced low, three legged stools, and they were placed in no uniform order in the church. Directly after the Norman conquest, wooden seats came in fashion. In 1387 a decree was issued that none should call any seat in the church his own except noblemen and patrons, Tack entering and holding the one he irst found. From 1530 to 1540 seats were more appropriated, and a crowbar guarded the entrance, bearing tbe ini tial of tbe owner. Itwas in 1008 that galleries were thought of. And as early at 1614 pews were arranged to afford comfort by being baixed or enskioaei, while the sides aroand were sohickaa to hide tne ocenpaats a device ef the Paritaas to avoid being seen by the osnear, who reported those whe did not stand when the name of Jan tioaed.

An Old-Tlae WaehM MlUlenalre Dies a Paieer la a Ceeatj HesBltak In the appropriate column of our issue of September 18, appeared this notice: "Died In this city, September 16, 1875, Hiram Bacon, a native of Maine aged 65 years." Mr. Bacon died in tbe County Hospi tal, whither be bad been brought in a dying condition, from Logtown, where he bad for several years lived a eon firmed and hopeless invalid, and an 'rnnwr of an old friend or XoraaxM ua more prosperous years. To his name a romance attaches, which recent events have recalled, In "the early days of Washoe," Hiram Bcon was one of the "Kings ot the Comstock." He it was who gave its name to the Bacon mine, he owned half of the Belcher and a large amount of other valuable mining property. In the zealth of bis prosper ity be met, became fascinated with and married a brilliant and smbitious chit of a girl, of whom he became excessive ly fond and dotiagly indulgent. On one occasion be bought and presented to ber a set of diamonds which cost $30, 000. Tbee and other evidences of his uzurious fondneM she greedily grasped and hoarded. After a while came reverses, then dis ease, then poverty. Then the petted young wife turned the bewitched old husband out upen the cold charity of tho world. Subsequently a male friend abstracted and pawned her fine diamonds -and she was forced to summon her old husband from his humble retreat in this county to identify her jewels and effect their restitutio!. After this tbe old man's aflaits went on from bad to worse, until at last, as above recorded, be died a panper in tbe county hospital. "Bat it seems that through all these years, she, or some one for her, has been keeping np two policies of iasnrance,of $10,000 each, on tbe old man's life. Lest week she came np to the vicinity of the old peeper's grave to prove ap the facts which will enable her to collect the $, 000 of inserance on his life. Her Itst application was to Dr. Cooke, Gouty Phyudaa, bat Bacoa had died withoet his adminiiteiing to him, aad he de cliaed to make any anldavit in the premises. She then fell back on Dr. Lohman, who had attended on Bacoa while at Dogtowa, aad Dr. Loamaa made tbe coveted affidavit, which was sapplemcated by one from tbe hospital steward ia the role ot sexton, and the bereaved ( !) widow, with never so ch as a glance toward the grave of the bnried peeper, sped bay-ward with her policies and proof ."

The Commisaioaer of Iaternal Reve nue has completed his report tor the fiscal year which ended Jane 90, 1875. The docsaaeat is very volemlaoaa. The Commissioner says it may be some coa solatioa to know that grievous as are tbe burdens laid upon aech c f our pop ulatioa of 4t.000.000, or more, as con sume tiie articles taxed by our Iaternal Revenue laws, the British peblir, num beriag less by one lourth than our people, paid uadcr their excise laws during tbe year ending March 31, 1875. taxes, measured ia gola to the United State, to the amount of 183,H2,75e, against $110,545,1 paid in cnrreiicy by the pteplsef thle ceeatry. Dnrlag the fiscal year eadiag June 90th, 1875, tbe report shows that the actual amouat of the receipts into tbe treasury from all sources from and after June SO, 1861, to to June 81, 1874, exclusive of loans and treasury notes, was a total of $4,315, 638.341. Tbe collections for the fiscal year end leg June 30, 1874, were $103,644,746; for tbe year ending June 30. 1873, $110,545,154. Tbe increase during tbe last fltcal ia owing in part to tbe in creased duties laid by the Act of March 2, 1875, upon distill! apiriu, manu factured tcbacco and cigars, cigarettes, and in part to the taxes collected under the laws repealed. Extraordinary efforts have been put forth to c:llect the delin quent taa due from banks, bankers, rail road, and other corporations and taxes due on incomes, legacies aad succession. A statement is given showing the re ceipts under the acts of March 3, 1875, up to and inclusive of Juee 30, 1875, from different articles subject to an in creased ax, showing tbe total tax re turned $3,208,818. The tax returned upon distilled spirits was $1,770,799, and the Commissioner says that it will doubtless be a matter of serprise that tbe incressed amount realised from dis tilled spirits during tbe period from March 3, 1875, to June 3. 1875, was so small. Tbe explanation, however, Is found ia tbe fact that it became generally known through the proceedings in Con gress that an increase ia the rate of tax would probably be made, and distillers, in order to realize tbe benefit of tbe in crease, withdrew from tbe bonded ware houses upon tbe payment of taxes at 70c gallou, t,4BO,oi galloes la the month of January, 1874, and tbe enormous quantity of 11,504,356 gallons in tbe Fehraary following, leaviag still in the bonded warehouse over 7.000,000 cal lous of spirits, on March 8, 1875. Tbe day when tbe increase tax from seventy to ninety cents per gallon was made by Congress by law, these spirits were al lowed, after bond given, to remain in distillery warehouse one year before withdrawal, and these spirits have been and still continue to be placed on the market subject only to the former duty of seventy cents per gallon. The amount received from Iowa was $1,040,. 64; from Illinois. $17,627,668, and from Nebraska $393,473. Tbe number of distilleries registered durieg the year was 4,736 and the aam ber operated was 4,608. Of tbe aam ber operated 656 were grata dbUUeriee, 7 molasses distilleries aad 3,945 trait distilleries. Tbe Commiseioaer says that public atteatioa has beea often called within tbe past few months to tbe extensive frauds committed in certain localities apoa revenue by distillers aad rectifiers of distilled spirits. He gives an account, first, of the checks, guards and protections agaiast frauds estab lished by law; second, of the aaaaaer in which the whisky frauds so called, lately exposed, were perpetrated apoa the Govern meat; third, the extent of these fraud; fourth, cheeks recently es tablished to prevent the recurrence of the same; aad fifth, seggeets legialatioe, which, in his op'ai:, is asrsasaij te In sure a fuller collection in the future of taxes anon distilled sprits. Tbe Commiseioaer says with regard to additional legislation leqaired to en force the honest collectiea of tax on distillea sat'.- "I give it a my opinion thaK .J only law nscsasary is ie that shall make requirements ee stringent, aad the penalties for defread iag tee Government as severe la the case of rectifiers ae they now are in the case of distillers." Mr. Semael Carter writes to the Lea den Netm claiming priority in the enav covery of the electric telegraph far Iraacie ReaaWa, who was kalchted for his services ia this respect ire years ago.

In modern life differentiations are vastly greater tbas in the "Id days, wbrn btu band and wife wnrktd together behind tbe coua'.er and on tbe farm, each under standing the labor of the other, aud joining aa a true yoke-fellow in drawing the mutual load. Tbe Modern Husband earns for his wife to spend; and he care in methods and under conditions hc does not understand, ao that ber adrico is worthies, and even her sympiiby ex hales oftentimes without his notice. Tbe new condition under which we live aad labor affect domestic habits and insensibly react oa dttpoaitioa and character. Once husband and wife spent most of their time together; now they spend mot of it apart, aad cannot follow each other through the transec tions of a day even In imagination; they are less mutually dependent than when each was all the world to the other, and their lives were one. The Modern Huabaud la not ao lorable nor attractive in tome respects as be might be, and aa bis wife would hkn to have him. He has not keft his first estate. He is a harder, drier, more worldly creature than she tok him to be. He thinks more of aoup than of sentiment, and digeatioa occupies a larger place than music or society in the economy of hu life. But, ia spite of all his abatements, he it essentially true and prevailingly kind. He thinks more than be says, and feels deeply oftentimes when he says nothing. He puts his love into labor, and expresses his confidence snd tenderness in wise provisions aad unaentimental bank notes. He prays lets than his grand father, but he pays better and is lea of a tyrsot Tbe word "obey" has dropped out of bis spoken dialect. II he givta leas attention bo exact Iesa service in retura.

"Yet," said our guide, uDeaa rJmith had five wives, 360 acres, tweaty-eigbt children, the forebaadedest maa ia town, aad had a famous fuaeral." An intelligent eoro aer's jury might discover a visible coa section between tbe aches of tne women aad the acres of tbe farm, and attribute their mortality to sometbieg ether than the mysterious dispeaaatloa of Provi dence.
