It is calculated that since the begin sing of time the world has had sixty-six quadrillions of inhabitants. "When the farmers become bicy clists," predicts the New York Mail and Express, "it won't be long before thi country has good roads." For sportsmen New Zealand seems to possess decided advantages. It offers, we ara told, s< me of the best trout fishing in the world. Moreover, deer arc in-, creas.ng so fast in some of the open mountainous country th<u we shall soon add deer stalking. Wild pigs abound, but they frequent such rough ground that they must be hunted on foot, which seems to dampen the ardor ol most English sportsmen. Quail shooting is good and plentiful, and duck and pheasant shooting is good in certain parts. There are many districts with their pac? of harriers, and iu some of the better settled districts hunting is indulged in with much zesU Horseflesh and iiorsekeep being cheap, whatever sport there is can be enjoyed at a much less cost thau smii* Jar ^creations in the eld country. Horse flesh for food has inoroisc I wonderfully in popularity in Fruuce, states the Dostou Transcript. At Paris, the first horse butchery was opened on July 9, 186(1, and in that yoar 902 horses were slaughtered. Through seventeen iyears the business steadily iucroaiecl, and ! the count shows that 203,537 solipedi were consumed in the city. On January 1, 1889, the horse butcheries numbered 132. In other cities of France the output of the horse butcheries is enormous. Hippophagy is also iu great favor at Rotterdam. Horse meat is used there as human food to an extent that is unknown in Denmark, Sweden and Switzerland, as well as in parts of Italy. It is ex ten sively used iu Milau, whilo it is scorned in Turin. Iu the latter city only tiftytivo horses were I I ? ~ . ... . "W, and the flesh was used exclusively for feeding the animals of a menagery.

Matters are beginning to look a littli squally about the frontiers of Russia, Persif and Afghanistan It has been Teported already that Amir has been tfhibiting signs of a disposition to : >6ome of his weaker neighbors, iucl g r the Afridis ami som* of the patty Kha n of Bazhauer, who are more or less under British jurisdiction. Russia is evidently on the lookout for disturb inces in that quarter and moans to be ready to snap up any unconsidered trirte thai in ty fall in her way. It is auuouncc I that a special commission from the Ministries of War, Finance, and Internal A Hairs has been appointed in St. Petersburg to consider precautions to be taken against the introduction of cholera into Transcaspia from Afghanistan. The committee has resolved that the cordon round the frontiers of Afghanistan and * Persia must be strengthened, and that medical and sanitary supervision must be established on tho borders. It has even discussed the propriety of sending a bacteriologist to Herat, and it is tolerably safe to predict that if such an olliccr is ever appointed, he will have manv other things to attend to besides microbes. i The official summary of the accidents and casualties which occurre 1 in hill, upon the railroads of the Unite 1 Kingdom has just been i??ued. Fro u this it appears that of SOU,000,000 p issen jjers carried during the year only five were killed in accidents, the smallest actual number and proportion recorded since 187JI, when six were kille I. The number of passengers injured in accidents during the year was 87"?. Of men employed by the railway coinpanics twelve were killed and I.Vd in jured in accidents, a much hitler proportion. The list of passengers killed and injured by trains (otherwise than in accidents) is much heavier, including ninety-eight dead, 7H7 injure I. of these sixteen were killed by fulling between carriages and platforms, fourteen by falling 011 the platforms or the line, and tifteeu by falling out of carriages during the traveling of trains. Crossing the iln? at stations was fatal to twentythree, and ninety eight were in jured by the closing ot carriage doors. Causes other than train accidents kilie I no fewer than 587 of the servants of co npanies , or contractors, while more than '} ?00 were injured. The gr;'itest loss of life occurred among the :.?v;ii who wero walking, crossing or standing on the line of duty. The deaths from these causes were 140, while I 1 *? were killed while walking on the permanent way or in s'd'.ngr.. Shoaling operations killed 1 ninety-four. Forty-two iost their lives while walking on the line, V GENERAL WEAVER IT IS. Nominated By the People's Party on First Ballot. Tha Fourth Providential Ticket Placed In the Field?-Scenes at the Convention in Omaha. Omaha,Nub.?The first People's Party Convention opened with prayer by Rev. IVm. McCrcedy, of South Dnkota. From the committee on credentials came the report th ?t there weie no contests and 1,400 delegates had tiled their credei tials. Judge Robertson, of Texas, presented the report of the committee on permanent organization, naming II. L. Loucks, of South Dakota, as permanent chairman, and John W. Hayes, of New Jersey, sec retary-trcaaurer of the Knights of Labor, as chief secretary. The electious were ratified with a yell, and Chairman Loucks on being presented received au enthusiastic welcome. He is a one-legged veteran nud supported himself on his crutches. Loucks announced, amid applause, that he would dispense with a speech and would content himself with expressing the opinion that was the greatest and grandest convention ever held, not only in this country but in the civilized world He was not One of those | who believed that the republic was in danger, so long as the people existed. , He congratulated tlic:n on the harmony j that pi\ vaih il. There were no slates fixed up foi the convention; the nominee would be the choice of the people and j not the choice of the machine clement. There was a long debate over a propo- ^ sition to admit soldiers who wore the j wiue and the giuy to the two thousand or more of vacant scats, but it was defeated on the ground that it woul t be a \ violation of the contract with the citizens ' of Omaha, who had retained the ? seats. The committee on resolutions re t ported a resolution autlioiizing the chair ^ to appoint a committee of three to seek y redress froar the managers of tlu se Western roads that had failed to give special rates to the delegates from the far west, hut this was antagonized by delegates . from California aid Montana. 'I lie former said that the roads had been asked ,{ for special n.les, the same as given to Republican and Democratic conventions: j (bat they bud be n refused; that they had paid their way nnd asked no favors, ' and that the time was not far distant when the people would own the Union ' and Southern Pacific roads. The latter declaration v .a signal for a ii eat demonstration, the e tire audience j rising and cheering heartily. After more debate the resolution was so amended as 1 t instruct.the chair to appoint a committee of three to prosecute the offending roads before the Inter-State Commerce Commission, and iu this foim it was _ gasseu ut .. ? p. j ? ?'? **u 1 - i o'clock it "was reported that the platform would not be ready for several hours and a recess was taken until 2 p. in. The roll of States was tiibt called for ' members of the uew national committee ] with the following results for the South 1 era States: J Alabama ?J. B. Ware, J. C. Manning, i George P. Gait her. Florida ?S. S. Harvey, P. I. Jenkins, P. II. Lytic. Georgia?George H. Turner, C. 11 Ellington, J. F. Brown. North Carolina?W. It Lindsay, Thomas li. Long, S. Otho Wil ou South Carolina Tennessee ? W. H. Gynue. I. K Taylor, W. E. Wilkes. Virg uia?J. H. Hobsou, Manu Page. 8. I. Newberry. At the afternoon session, while waiting for a committee to respond, a Kansas quartette brought down the house with a campaign song, with the refrain, "Good bye, old parties, good bye." As the committee on platform was not ready, accordingly W. It Lamb, of Texas, moved that the convention readopt the St. Louis platform and pro ceed to nominations. This was seconded inn vigorous speech by Brown, of Massachusetts, General Weaver's recognized spokesman. Or. Mr. Lamb's demand the secretary began to read the St. Louis platform. It was read, plank by plauk, bet Manning, of Alabama, interrupted. Further delude was stopped at this juncture, just as the convention was getting upuouiinus, by the appearance of the committee on pla'form with its report, the 1? ??ly having deci-icd, in view of the temper of the convention, to throw overooard a score -r Iiml linnn cnhniil Ip.I t n t ?1 iuowihiiuuo hum iiu\? ifvv.i ??/ it for coii&idomtion. The convention settled down into a dead calm, wheu Cator, of California, was presented and commenced to read the preamble. The enthusiasm increased tenfold when the speaker read a declaration to the effect that the time had come when the railroads would run the people, or the people the railroads, and it was a couple of minutes before older couhl he sufficiently restored for the speaker to proceed. Rrancli, of Georgia, moved the adoption of the preamble, and it was adopted by a rising vote with more cheering. Cator now gave way to Branch, who proceeded to read the platform proper. Cries of "ainen" and cheers greeted the plank in favor of government control of all telegraph and telephone systems, and wore repeated when the resolution was finished. The entire preamhh- and platform were put t<> another vote and adopted !>v acclamation, amid another scene of boisterous cntluisia in Gen.. James G. Field, of Virginia, was nominated for Vice President on the first ballot, the vote standing Field 733,Terrell 554. Til K Till 111) I'AHTY STANDAIID-BKAHER. James B. Weaver was horn in Dayton, Ohio. June 12, 1333. and n a lawyer by profession. He enlisted in the Fed era I army as a private, and at the close of the civil war wan mustered out as a nrevci brigadier general. He sr.'cd in Coiigre,ss from INTO to 1881, was nominated for the Presidency on the Greenback Labor ticket in 1880, and was returned It Congress in 18?:%. Ilrain h, of Gciugin, eliairinan of the I committee, was lifted upon the should* is of a stalwart Texan and carried around the hall, while men, women and children shouted themselves bourse aud waved everything within reach. The bannei designating the locations of the variou delegations were lifted high in the air, portrait of George Washington being ai t ached to the one of Virgiuia, and revert of the banners were carried to the plal form ami uplifted over the chairman' head. Meanwhile every one of tho 10, JO soula in the great coliseum shouted am roared and cheered,and hundreds ofo thei wise cool-headed delegates, seized with i frenzy, stripped themselves of coats, am in some casts their vests, so that thei limbs would be more free. As if by magi hundreds of stars and stripes made thei ~I1 I?tl ?>--? nuv.v mi "TCI IUU i-lttll, WUI1C OUC U immense size was borne up to the plHt form and waved in triumph above all. A towering Georgiau actually climbed ou to) of the tahle. The band struck up the "Sta Spangled Iianucr" but the din was so over powering that even the big bass drun would uot penetrate it. When the demonstration had been go ing on for tiftceu minutes the rhainnei of the various State delegations took pos session of the State banners and header by a life uud drum band proceeded t< inarch around the hall, making the com plete circuit a half dozen times over. Oi the second round an American flag wai attached to every banner, and the howli and cheers took a fresh start, the womet this time bcariug their share. Numerou: mottoes were resurrected from the aute room and sandwiched in betweeu tin banners. One read, "What is home with jut a mortgage?'' Another "The peoplt will be damned no longer." White haired reeble men tottered around with a flag or ,*ach shoulder; fathers lifted their litth jnes. pickapack, and put a flag in theii lands. A mother wrupped her babe ol our months in a silk flag, and followed 11 line. Somebody found a tin pail and t was hoisted upon the Texas banner, s emindcrof the Oresham tinpail cam>aign in Chicago iu 1888.

It was a demonstration that utirely eclipsed the memorable Blaine uror at Minneapolis in point of enthusimm, noise and striking situations as well is in point of the number of those particimting. The convention then ad journed to f 'clock p. 111. At the eveuiug convention, 011 the first allot, Weaver was nominated for Presilent. DAVE SHAW'S STORY. ^ "KnritofAit" Man Toll" ttaw T< Came About. GltEKNVIl.I.E, B. C.?The fate of Dave 3hnw is 110 longer a mystery. Shaw slipped quietly into the city, with two friends, to seek the advice of C. T.

The Tiger Growled From the Courier-Journal. ] In connection with the Chicago Cor volition a good story is told on Mr. Chark P. Weaver, Picsidcnt of the llandann Club Its truth is not only vouche I fc by several veracious Louisville gentle men, but is also admitted by the vie tim himself. Placed upon the counter of the And torium Ho el bar was a savagc-lookin t-ger which the Tammany contingent ha borrowed from a well known Louisvill liquor dealer who was in Chicago at tli time.
