(Through Warren Choate & Co., general agents cor the District of Columbia | Charles Lamb was wont to characterize certain favorite volumes as “ books that are books,” and the series of maps, charts, &e., embraced in this statistical atlas may in the same way be designated as “‘maps that are maps.” Not only ts this statistical atlas be- yond any thing ever produced in this country, incomplete es: fuilness and authoritative accuracy, but it may be questioned If any country of the Old World has anything to show giving so much and so well in the way of comparative statistics in the same com- pass. This work is based upon the results of the ninth census, but ithas nothing of the dry mono’ony of the usual ran of census sta- tistics in its pages. Itis indeed a story of wonderful interest in its pieturesqne show- ing of the various features of growth of the country; of the development of its resouress; the distribution of tts wealth of all kin.ts; the constituents of its population; the birth and death rate of various localities, and the p:orortion of particular diseases to every lo- cality; the predominating sex in every por- ton Of the country, &c, &c. Part ist shows the physical features of the United States, and the maps of this series refer to the wood lands, rivers, coal measures, meteorological aud geological features. Part 24 supplies a wealth of information in regard to the pop- ulation, social and industrial statisties; and Part 3d is devoted to vital statistics. The colored taps to all these parts depict with wonderful vividness all the comparative data set forth. The lithographic work, it should be added, is admirably done by the publisher, Julius Bien, and is in keeping with the matter iljustrated. Altogether it isa work that must be indispensable to the library, the school-room and the counting- house of the future; and the low cost at which itis supplied will put it within the general reach of the public.

Some time ago papers were filed with At- torney Generai Pierrepont complaining of tne management of the office of the District Attorney in this city. While they did not afivet the integrity of Judge Fisher as an of- ficer, it was set forth that he had appointed Lis son to the position of an assistant, and that this son was unfit for the place for r sons set forth in said papers. These charges were supplemented by ers; the Tr ry department complair that there w ot a vigorous administration of the office; the Post Office department also complained, and particularly with referenes to the conduct of the prosecution in the rail contract fraud a came a complatat from the War department, charging tuat the District Attorney had given an erroneo: bstract of title to prop by it upon the assumption tat r title, when it was Lot.

Rear Admiral Almy, commanding the North Pactfic station, In a report to the Secretary of the Navy, dated on board his flagship, the Pensacola, off Hilo, Hawatl, May 31st last, gives eresting accouut of a recent cruise made by him among tue Hawaiian group of islands, and the recep- tion given to himself and the officers of the Pensacola by the governors and people of the different islands visited. The Pensacola proceeded from Honolulu to Lahaina, in the island of Mani. Relative to his reception at this port, the Admiral says:—-At Lahainaa very enthusiastic public reception was given us, held at the government house, and head- ed by his excelleney the governor aud the principal officials of the island. At this time a very handsome and original address Was delivered by one of te native citizens, to whicb I made a reply. Then followed a native feast, called lian. to which about two nered people sat down, and which was 9 the kind | had ever attended. The first toast given at the end of the feast, and by @ native—a member of the Hawttan Legisla ture—was “The Health of President Grant,” which was received with great enthusiasm. After & short visit at Lahaina I proceeded to Hilo, in the Isiand of Hawail, where the same cordial enthusiastic reception awaited us—but somewhat varied in form. The na- tives particularly requested, in which I acquiesced, that ‘nould land us in their large canoes, especially fitted up with plat- forms and canopies highly decorated with Wwreathes of evergreens and flowers, as they were wont to do in the days of the old chiefs, and as they sometimes do at pad egw when they particularly wish to thetr King during his visit to the place. Ac- ingly in the canoes myself, the captain and the Officers were conveyed from theship to the shore. Upon landing we were received by His Excellency the Governor, and other officials of the island, and a large concourse of i le, and tren peposaded to the Govern- ment House. On our way we passed under arches decorated with ae evel and flowers, and bearing su ii ptions “Kalakaua and Grant,” «Hail Columbii ‘ Welcome to the Admiral and officers of the United States ship Pensacola,” &c., &c. The Admiral says that himself and the officers of the Pensacola are looked upon as the medium thi which the people of Hawaii desire to express their Metin singer tude fer and feelings of high aj tation of Mowed ‘upon thelr Wing during Min teocet stowed upon 3 recen' visit to the United States. nate The Admiral considers that “it must be gratifying to the government and to the Fos ead the United States to know of this warsg Seat af aes eae? ways on peo Ple of ‘the ‘Hawaiian Islands, for the ~ ity and attention extended to their King and suite while visiting the country.” &7-The Italian parliament has a law to secure copy rights for eight years. aie WASHINGTON P one of the handsomest entertainments of- ny D.

A Spirited Contest. Cornell's Second Victory. (Special Correspondence of The Star.) SARATOGA, July 14. A very stiff breeze was blowing this morn- ing, but notwithstanding word was given “to come iu line,” and the thirteen crews took their positions. At 12 o'clock exactly the word was given, and away they flew, Cornell and Harvard leading in turn. At first only the glistening oar blades were visible, but when the different crews could be distinctly seen the excitement was intense. All the boats seemed nearly in line, but at the end of the second mile the sturdy CORNELL BOYS MADE A SPLENDID SPURT, and then there seemed no longer any doubt as to the winning crew. They rapidly drew away from Harvard, and then the Columbia bow cailed on his men for a spurt, and they responded nobly. They, too, passed Harvard, but when near the line @n oar snappea, and, but for that accident, might have repeated their splendid victory of last year. Tne Cor- nell crew kept up their magnificent spurt till they had crossed the line, far ‘ahead of all Time, 16.4.) Tey rowed in the same e, and won the race in the same man- T, as did their Freshmen crew the d pre- ; and all were unanimous in saying, both pulled splendidly. THE OTHER CREWS. Columbia retained her second place to the finish, closely pressed by Harvard, and then followed Dartmouth, Wesleyan, Yale and Amberst. The Princeton crews disappointed their many friends, coming in last in both races. The stroke of this crew was reported to have fainted at end of second mile. The reugh water was especially inju- rious to Amherst; they were obliged to pall in their old shell—with low outriggers—on Account of the worthlessness of their new ene. The Harvard boys were almost wild with joy at their unexpected victory over rs «1 throughout the streets the rah! Tahs! for Harvard were almost as fre- «quent as the cheers for Coracll and Cols bia. A Another Account. The New York Suu has the following: At jast, just beiore noon, the Steamer took tts position, and everytiing seemet to be re for the start. A few more minutes of pai suspenses intervened, while, like thorot bred horses or fox hunt held in the leash, the seventy-eizht young athictes, naked to’ the Waist, with oars poised ready to catch water, impatiently await THE STARTING SIGNAL. At last it comes. The clear ve of the starter rings out, “Are you realy A few 's Jater he pulls both barrels of his gun s“Go!” ‘Phe gun didn’t go off, bat rowers did, and the start being an excel- lent one the umpire did not call them back. Quick indeed must have been the erew that vh- n ped any tage out of this start. Al- simuitancously seventy-eight oars lashed in the air, then descended into the water, and the race was begun. Ther: outhWest wind, and the water was a The wind, however, blew it up the course, and did not * 5 terfere with the rowers. Atthe starting point Williams was nearest to the western shore, and ranging to the eastward were Cornell, 3a Amherst, Bowdoin, Brown, Columbia Pri Dart mouth, ¥ di, and Union, in ed. The press boats, Which by the way were slow and utterly use- less for the ded, were stationed ile irom the starting point, and it re- red a powerful glass to pick out the ap- ching crews. On wey came, however, H t about the first half mile the flay lead- ers were easily discerned. Corneil on the west and Harvard on the east were plainly leading. In the center .Dartmouth and Co- mibia were about abreast and lapping the leaders. Amhert, Bowdoin, and Brown were bunched together just behind, and Wesleyan and Yalenext. The distance that separited the last five was, however, very slight. Hamilton and Union were falling slowly back,and Princeton and Williams did not seem to be doing as well as their admirers € cted, The dark blue of Yale did show very well to the front, but her ader ents found no cause for alarm fn this, as With her slow stroke it was calculated ‘she would beled by several for at least one mile ifnot two. AT THE FIRST MILE FLAG. One mile had been rowed over, but there was no time then to see how quickly. It re- quires a practised eye and a ready pencil to jot down the positions of so many crews, and to more than note the leaders is a diffi- cult task. The positions remained un- changed, except that the lead of Harvard began to be more clearly detined. It was plainly to be seen, however, that in Coraell the other crews had no mean antagonist. Her stroke @ neat as well as a powerful one. Next to Harvard at the mile flag were Dartmouth, Columbia and Cornell, with lit- Ue to choose between them. Brown, Am- herst, Wesleyan and Yale came next. The latter still took it easy, with a stroke but little above thirty. he We an boys seemed as fresh as When they started, while the Princetons were not doing so well as their frieuds expected they would. At the one and a half mile Harvard still gatlantiy kept the lead, with Columbia seeond. Dartmouth lapping Cornell. At the t of these four were Brown, Amherst, Y and Bowdoin. About this time Yale began to pic . aud it looked as though her splea- did, regular stroke was beginning to tell at ‘ast. Williams was now falling astern, and Hamilton, Un'on and Princeton appeared to be having’a struggle for last place. Half the race was bow over, and yet the winner could not be predicted with ‘any certainty. The New York city crew was still pulling splen- didly, and Harvard gained no further lead on either her or Cornell. The green colors of Dartmouth also held their own, and kept abreast of the blue and white of Columbia. Another quarter of a mile, and another change was apparent. Cornell had crept up to Harvard and was abouton a tine with her. while both were pressed hard by Dart- mouth and Columbia. Brown and Yai were about together, just astera, and Wes- leyan was gaining on both. The pace toll ou Bowdoin, and she fell back astern of Am- herst. Williams, Princeton, Hamilton and Union toiled pluckily on in the rear. THE LAST MIL! In about these positions they reached the second mile row of flags. There was but one mile to go, and the students’ end of the grand stand was wild with excitement. The adberents of the different crews raised their war cries, and the sound, faimtly heard over the lake, inspired the young athletes with almost superbuman Strength. Swinging steadily backward and forward like the walking beam of an engine, the crew of Cor- nell quickened their stroke’ and slowly but surely ran their bow Up past Harvard. Co- lumbia spurted and so did Dartmouth, and both lessened the distance between them and Harvard. At the halfmile Cornell had ob- tained a decided lead over Harvard, and Co- lumbia and Dartmouth were fighting fu- niously for third place. “Where is Yale?” qT rents of the dark blue sent forth lusty notes of encouragement, but the Yale boys failed to respond, and in vain struggled to ahead of the Wesieyans, who were abreast of them, and slowly but surely going to the front. Cook called cheerily on his men for another effort, but the day was lost, 80 far as they were concerned. A better ora more scientific stroke than theirs was not seen on the lake to-day, but the final struggle showed that the crew was not In as condition as it was last week. Yale has been heavily backed, and friends loudly cheered heron, but without avail. Cons ‘was also t in the Harvard ranks.
