The band of the baby with its chub biness, ail dimples but the fingers, Tvhich wiggle aimlessly in forty-seven pretty ? , And how nicely its wondrous eyediowner can spread butter with it. The hand o the small boy, oh a three "weeks' vacatioa from the wash basin, begrimed kuucldes, moumiug finger nails and rag wound around its sore thumb. This is the hand that steals cookies, jam and other goodies one minute and pats the crust of a mud pie in innocent mirth the next. IVe were all small boys once with per ihaps a few feminine exceptions. The hand of the Young woman of the day, sparkling with diamonds and other jewels, mostly other. How its shapely lingers run up aad down the piano key hoard, and how daintly does it show its deftness in imbroidery, fancy worti, etc., and hdw seldom is it found in the bread tray or the washtub. The hand of a mother, lovingly lead ing along the pathway of our childhood. How grateful we remember its minis trations, even when they were heavy place where they would do the most good. The hand of the farmer, hard and knotty, with knuckles like door knobs, fingers all thumbs, unused and unlit for the dainty occupations of life, it grasps the prosperity of the country right by the crop. The hand of the speculator, in every one's pocket but his own. The hand of intelligent compositor, swinging over his case with rapid regu larity, raising the complete "printer's devil" with editorial brain work and holding the editor up to the unpitying gaze of the world as a consummate fool. It is the worst hand played. The hand of the marriageable yloung lady always stretched forth, and just as you think you have got it for life, it vanishes. 'Tis well. Only a few of this species are worth having. The hand of an old friend, as it settles into yours with one long grateful clasp. Nothing in this world ever starts the tremors of the nerves from the brain center and causes a thrill so permeating to the soul as its grasp. The real pretty hand symmetrical in every finger joint, makes the owner just Tain enough to gracefully rest her face upon it as often as anybody would be likely to look at it The hand of the dear old grandmoth er, rinkled with goodness, by age that has temnored its old time severity, it how is up to the wrist in beneficent and kindly deeds for the young. An, lucky is the young scamp who can depend on the interference of a grandmothers hand. The hand of providence but it will take an eternity to ".size that up." southern Prosperity-. Baltimore Sun. Fragmentary estimates of the popu lation of cities and States, as furnished by the census of the present year, have been given from time to time in the Sun. They indicate a larger increase in population of the Southern States; than this increase will, on the whole, com pare fairly well with that of the North western states otmnfftne past decade. Some part of this apparent Southern increase may be due to the greater thoroughness With which the present census nas been taken there in com par son to the enumeration of 1870. Apart, ho we verj from this, there has been a large increase of population from inter state ana ioreign immigration tnan most people are aware of. Texas, as is well known, has been and still is a fa vorite field for emigration, and the cen sus indicates that, from this and from natural causes, the gain in population during the last ten years has been some where about ninety per cent. There has a is 6 been a considerable emigration to some parts of Tennessee, and partic ularly to the eastern counties, where colonies have been established for dairy and stock-raisihg purposes, and where companies have been formed Within easy reach of the railroads to develop its mineral resources, so far as heard from the estimated increase of popula tion ranges, according to localities, from three to one hundred and three per cent.' n Alabama, in like manner, as sociations of capitalists from other States have added to its growth in .pop ulation py 4estaDiismng- rum aces , ana iron works in that region, so rich in coal and iron ore.

Extra Yacaat Md Vnlawfu.1 Vm of Pafcli FunAMor tie Whit House. Washington; Aug. 9. For the- past three and a half years the admiration of President Hayes has been in special favor with the total abstinence people, and members Of the Methedist church because of the 'alleged simplicity and economical habits of the life of the oe-- cupants of the Executive Mansion. Grant had about him a rough, high liv ing class of men, who brought his ad ministration into bad ordor with decent people: Mr. Hayes was apparently the very reverse. N6 wines1 ever were served upon the table at the State and diplomatic dinners iverj at the White Hdnse. Some cavflers said this -ab-stenance -was due to the stingy habits of Mr.: Hayes, but the reply" to this has been that he is the possessor of an am ple fortune apart from his salary of $50,000 per annum as President,; and that no reason existed why he should deprive himself of anything that he saw fit; to have. Becenf developments, however, will tend to weaken the con fidence which has generally been repos ed in Mr. Hayes as an honest private individual, - The fdllowin'VRrchj has been obtained from th& Secoiid Cbrnp troners Office: , (Form Sy) ' Appropriations for repairs, f ueL ect.

Casey, Corps of Engineers, the sum of sixteen dollars and cents, in full payment of the above ac count Check, No. 624, Dated July 13, 1877, on the Treasury of the United States, for $16. Signed in duplicate. ' J. Bbvdley AdAms. I certify the above account is correct and just; the articles to be or have been accounted for in my return for the third quarter of 1877. Thos. Lincoln Casey, Lieutenant Colonel of Engineers. The amount of money out of which the government was swindled in the the transaction is not so mueh as" the principle involved in the expenditure. No authority of law for such a purchase exists; no excuse of poverty can apply. The idea of ajnan receiving a salary from the people of $50,000 annually charged the government $16 to provide amusement for himself and family, is galling. Grant kept a dog at the gov ernment's expense while he was Presi dent, and charged $30 quarterly for its board. He claimed, however, that the dog acted as watchman, and saved the hire of another man. The following is another sample voucher report: (No. 213,647). W. II. Cook, Disbursing Officer, Exe utive Mansion, Third and Fourth Quarters, 1878. Executive Office to Andrew J. Joyce, Dr., Carriage Manufacturer. Nos. 412, 414 and 416 Fourteenth street, July 15, To a six-passenger rockaway, $800. Received payment, Andrew J.Joyce, Aug. 26, 1878. Mr. Hayes's disbursing agent claims that this "expensive vehicle was pur chased for the use of the employes in the executive mansion. It may be that a necessity for this purchase existed It is known, however, that six passen ger rockaways of the best build, in every manner suitable for the use of the exe cutive, secretaries and clerks, can be bought for $350. Lately Mr. Hayes or dered for the use of the Executive man sion one china dinner service which cost $2,996.50. The dishes were made by Haviland, in Limoges, France, and are beautf ully painted. Every plate is a work of art. The extravagant sum Eaid for the service will astonish the elievers ini the theory that civil service reform in its broadest sense means a return to the puritan simplici ty of the founders of the government God-L,oItiaa: Presidents. The Boston Traveller, a propos of the silly season, prints some readable pad ding in regard to the personal appear ance of. the various presidents of the United ! States premising that .hp- one was ever elected president because of his good looks. It quotes the .Qtiincys to prove that Washington, was not near so ndsomei as Gilbert Stuart por trait makes him ; that he was neither Graceful nor elegant, but, as Jesiah juincy said, "He reminded one of the gentlemen who used to come to Boston in those ' days' to attend the General Court; from Hampden or Franklin county,, in the'., western part '. 6t the State. He had the air of a cduntry gentleman not . accustomed tq mix much in society perfectly pblitje, ' but easy in his addre&r and conversation, and not graceful onJiiS gait and move ments." John Adams was short, stout, burgher-lilte, ' -with Ja ; bland forehead and . a twinkling eye. Jefferson was very tall, very thin, very fair, very flex ible in his spine. . Madison was small, grave careworn,, with: a calm expres sion and penetrating blue eye. His head was bald; his: stomach protuher ant,iandhe had spindle shanks, ' Mon roe was : not .imposing, while John Quincy Adamv though small,; was a picture of concentrated studiousness and resolutions Jackson was wan and thin, but erect, and a superb feature oh horseback.; j He rode like , a,, -centaur.
