There is a quaint and curious old
town on the Colorado river in Arizona,
situated about one hundred and forty
miles above the town of Yuma, that is
known to the few who are aware of its
existence by the name of Ehrenburg.
It now consists only of a few long
streets of crumbling and uninhabited
adobe houses and a population of about
twenty Mexicans and Indians with
perhaps half a dozen whites. But, ac
cording to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
it was not always thus. In for
mer days, before the advent of the two
transcontinental railways that now
cross the territory, Ehrenburg was a
place of some importance and boasted
a population, transient and permanent,
of near one thousand souls. In those
days, besides being the center of a
flourishing placer mining district, it
was the entry port for all the freight
and passenger traffic between Cali
fornia and northern Arizona, a line of
river steamboats from Yuma making a
weekly landing and the overland stage
between San Bernardino, Cal., and
Prescott, Arizona, crossing the river by
ferryboat at this point. In 1878, when
! the Southern Pacific railway reached
the territory, the glory of Ehrenburg
commenced to decline, and later, when
the Atlantic and Pacific railway built
its bridge at the Needles, sixty miles
above, the old town was soon deserted
by all save a few miners who held
claims in the vicinity, and since then,
both the town and its inhabitants have
been enjoying a Kip Van Winkle re
pose. If we are permitted to judge
from the results of an official investiga
tion l.itcly conducted at the Ehren
burg post office, this statement must be
especially true as regards the post
master of this forgotten town.
It seems that one Jesus Daniels, a
Mexican, received the appointment of
postmaster to the town some twelve
years ago, and has ever since held the
position without the interference of
postal authorities and without com
municating with them in any manner
whatever. The population of the dis
trict tributary to the post office has in
creased during the last eighteen
months, owing to an awakening inter
est in some of the old mines in the vi
cinity, and the failure of letters to
reach their destination through that
office led to complaints, until the mat
ter culminated in Inspector (icorge B.
Waterbury being sent from Washing
ton to investigate. He arrived there
Nome wcA-h tto, ttnd ) is examination

of them postmarked twelve years ago.
Among tlieiii were seven registered

turn of them: seven were addressed to
Ellisburg, Wash., und had never been
forwarded, and fifty-one were ad
dressed to persons living In Ehrenburg.

tiling or other in the rustic revels. Hut
worst of all he missed the dear old
fashioned villain, and although this
play had a tremendous villain in it our
friend was not impressed with him a
bit. He sighs thus:
"I came away again, sadly disap
pointed. The play was not what I ex
pected. I shall go no more to the play
house. The palmy days of the drama
are over. The theater has fallen into
the sear and yellow fifth act, and there
is no health in itl 1 The theater has fol
lowed the path of literature and the
good old tilings are changed. I beheld
a lot of swell people in evening dress
on the stage. They spoke quietly to
one another, very much as people do off
the stage, and in very much the same
sort of language. This is not what I
want when I go to the theater.
"What is the theatrical villain of to
day? Is he a real, good, old-fashioned
ruffian? Does he ever drag a helpless
maiden from the domiciliary roof of
her ancestors by the hair? No, sir.
Does he ever say to the hero: 'Say one
word and thou art food for the wolves?'
Does he ever grab the heroine by the
wrist, drag her down the stage in
three strides, slam her down in a big
chair, bend over her and whisper
fiendishly: "S death, maiden, but, by
my soul, I love thee! Thou shalt be
mine! Yield or by heaven I'll '
"That's all I know of that speech,
because 'liv heaven I'll' is the cue for
the maiden to spring up, and, throw
ing the villain half way across the
stage, to say: 'Unhand me, ruffian!
And know, that rather than mate with
such as thou, I'd cast myself from
yonder battlement into the foaming
flood beneath!"
"And does the villinn then say: 'Now,
by heavens, I like thy spirit! I love
thee all the more for it'."
"And does the maiden say: 'Merciful
powers, protect me'.1'
"And does the door open and the
hero rush in, armed with it ;;. ."tl, blunt
broadsword? And then do lie and the
villain fence up and down t Ik? stage,
sixes, eights, shoulder bl .ws, cut and
thrust? Oh, no. These tilings have
given way to swallow-tailed coats and
high collars, and the villain is now (is
big a swell as any fellow in the show.
Oh, for the good old palmy days of the
drama, when the broadsword ruled
and there was gore! The modern
drama is too much like ice cream after
a heavy dinner cold and unsatisfying-"

Census Figures Which Shc-v That the Na

as a Ke;ort for Matr nionlal
Unfortunates
The funny writers will have to re
vise their jokes if the figures of the
census office are correct. There is a
good deal of danger that he District
of Columbia will soon be pointed at
throughout the country and cartooned
in the comic papers as the haven par
excellence for divorced people. For it
is a fact, savs the 'Washington News,
that the figure? of tho latest census
bulletin given to the public show that
Washington city has more people in it
per capita who have been through the
divorce court than has Chicago, that
hustling metropolis of the west, which
has a world-wide reputation for tho
cheapness and dispatch with which the
lawyers can render asunder the bonds
of matrimony that were supposed to
be eternal when they wore riveted at
the altar.
The figures that are reputed not to
lie arc these: Chicago, with a popuht-
not more than enough to support
themselves. The divorced people get
there in pretty much the same way.
Women shorn of the protection and
support of their erstwhile husbands
have tried their fortunes in the capital
and in many instances been able to
secure desks in the goverment work
shops. TOOK HALF IN RATS.
How China's Dowagtfr Empress Mltlgater
the Force of the Pestilence.
A recent number of the North China
Herald, jui.t received in this city, tells
this story of the Empress Dowager of
China:
"A rather good story is told among
the Chinese about the empress dowa
ger and the plague. The empress
keeps constantly burning, day and
night, in her palace, eighteen lamps,
which- represent the eighteen prov
inces of China. Not long ago one of the
lamps, although it received precisely
the same attention as all the others,
was burning very badly, and the em
press sent for the chief imperial as
tronomer to learn the reason. The
chief astronomer having carefully con
sidered the matter and consulted the
archives, told tho empress that the
lamp which was burning so badly rep
resented the province of Canton, which
tion of l,()'.i!l,8."i(), has 1,040 men and 1 was about to be alllieted with a serious

women in its limits who have been un
marriedthat is, one divorced person
to every fiTO of tho population. The
District of Columbia, with a population
of 23u,oD:i, has 400140 men and 314
women divorced people, or oue in
every fit) I of tho inhabitants. So the
District carries oil the laurels. Still,
throughout the United States, there is
one divorced person for every 520 of
population. But while this is a start
ling statement, there are a number of
other communities that surpass the Dis
trict in this respect. The little puri
tanical state of Vermont, for instance,
with a population of 37ii,.ri.'!0 has 1,2(10
people who had to seek legal separation
in order to kt peace in the family.
Virginia evidcily has a climate better
adapted to domestic peace than has the
District, for while it has seven times
the number of inhabitants, it contains
slight ly less thnn four times as many
divorced conpl'ja lis does the capital.
Maryland rhowsup still more staid, for
its population is four und a half as large
as that of the District, though it bus
less than twice the number of divorced
people us lias the latter.
There Is another peculiar thing alxmt
the ilislriet- its percentage of married
people is less than that which prevails
throu rhout the country. Taking the
United Slates at large and nearly .fii
ler cent, of the inhabitants are
married. In the district less than XI
per cent, have ventured upon wedlock,
lint more alarming than any of these
li 'tires Is the presence of widows In
the District. There arc actually n,l)2'J
willows here dashing or otherwi:'
or one for every I'l' t of the population.
ThW figure appears to ! very large
when it is considered that throughout
the United StatcH the iiuiuImt of ImiIIi
men and women win- have lost their
partners In life do not number more
than one to every twenty-one of the In
habitants. Yet in the District the
widows alone move around in society
at the rutin of one to sixteen and one
half. An Interesting study U brought up
In the elTort to discover why it Is that
the District lias more than its share of
tlivoreed M-ople, willows und unmarried
inhabitants. It is answered very easily
by Hie simple fitet thut one-half of the
einploves of the government are
women. There are great iiiniiU rs of
w idows of soldiers w lei were killed III

1 1 ill ll to give their lieiirts to some fel
low whose salary Ihrir estimation is
epidemic, in which the god of pesti
lence had determined to take off eight
tenths of the people.
"The empress was very much con
cerned at being told this, and asked the
chief astronomer how such a dreadful
doom might bo averted from eight
tenths of her people in the province.
The chief astronomer said that the god
might perhaps be moved by prayer and
offerings, and everything was done to
placate him by the empress dowager'a
orders. After this the chief astrono
mer was asked what success had been
achieved, and, after much considera
tion and consultation, he replied that
the god of pestilence had consented to
compromise but this was absolutely
the best he could do for four-tenths
human beings and four-tenths rats.
Thus the frightful mortality of rats anil
human beings at Canton this spring la
explained.'' t

My uncle and sister and I were out
in the garden one day watching a lit
tle toad, and my uncle took a twig and
very gently scratched first one
side of the toad and then the other.
The toad evidently enjoyed it, for ho
would mil slowly from side to side,
says 11 correspondent in the Philadel
phia l'n'Vs, und blink very expressively.
I was so Interested that when they
went in I took the twig and did as my
uncle had th iie. If. thought I, if he
roll from side to side, as 1 touch him,
what would he tin If I ran tho twig
down his back? I did so, and what di
you think happened? His skin, which
was thin and dirty, parted In a neat
litlle seam, showing a bright new coat
below, mid then my quiet little toad
showed his knowledge, for he gently
und curt fully pulled oil his outer skin,
taking il olT the lusty anil lega first,
and then blinking It over his eyes, till
