that hi. W alosee, :lie eater of the Field. was maie

of beienillo experiments had been made it was proved
to the utapire's .3tiskatio4 that the earth was round,
and he g. vi his daimon asoordingly. Mr. Hampden
acquiesced at the time to the jostles of the award, but
legal proceedings afterwards took place in connexion
wici the orator, and Mr. ijamptlen allowed judgment
to go by default. %nee then the defendant had written
letters about Hr. Wallace of a most offensive and
lib.,llous character. One of these was addressed to Mrs.
Wallace. and woe as follows
" Madam—if your lido-nal thief of • huiband is brought

In another, addressed to the Committee of the

Wailes as "a rogue and an imposter.' The bench
asked if Mr. Wallace wonld swear that he went in fear

want p:oplo to suppose that he had done it, and on
that amount he wrote to Mrs. Wallace to forewarn

A GrmiltALlStora Fox —The Rey. Charles Note
St. Louis, sends ti the New York Indepeeedent • story
'unaided by the remark of • learned metaphysician,
that he hat "doubts whether the lower animals can
abstract, whether they can generalise." " A former
pastor of 'nine," says Mr. Nutt, " told me the follow.
ing :—When • bay, he had • fox, which, I regret to
say, boro the reputation of possessing far more brain,
than personal piety. This fox was kept in a yard in a
sort of raised den, nicely sodded over, and was °canned
by • °Lain that allowed him quite a generous eirounkfer-
mace. One evening in the Gall, the farm wagon returning
Irons the field with a load of eorn, passed near the den,
and by canoe dropped an ear where the fox oeuld
reach it. Ho was seen to spring out, seize the corn,
and carry it quickly bark into the den. What he
'mated will it was • mystery, as corn formed no part
of the gentleman's diet. The next morning, however,
the mystery was solved, for the fox was ()Nerved out
of btu den, and considerably within the length of his
chain, nibbling off soine of the corn and mattering it
about in full view of the poultry, after which he took
the remainder back into his den and waited events.
Sure enough the chickens came' and while eating out
nprang the fox, nabbod his bird, and quietly took his
breskfast in his bank parlour, Now it seems to me
that this is pretty good generalising, The fox may
not have reasoned upon the most sublime theme imagin-
able, hitt if he did not evolve that chicken out of the
depths of Isis own oeurcionsuess, then there is no such
thing as logic."
A 'far., Or THE S7A.—The following has been pleased
at our disport .1 by the Muter Attendant's Dowttnont
—" I, the underai Tied, Cummis-bln.ltabomed. a native
of Ling*, du hereby declare that I was a passenger on
board tho bulls Idahonmilv, whioh vessel sailed from
Mangidere on to 28ili of April, with general cargo, to
the ihrilan Golf. Oa or about the Oth of May, at 7

which looted nto mat ten day.. The nacoda, for the
s.fetv of tie orew, orders- il the cargo to be thrown
na..,bo,g, but this ga.salure did not relieve the bugle,
the sea lon nhing in all dime' ions ; the rudder parted,
which rendered the Tomei entirely unmanageable. The
jelly boat was stove in, and the nacoda ordered the
t to be cat down to relieve the vessel, but this
menaure slid not at all alter our position ; the crew
were completely knocked up. the sea began to broils on
board in all directions, which caused the vessel to
founder, launching forty.five of our number to the mercy
of the ways': nineletri men chin; to oim of the water
tant-s ; mrrslf the naeoda, and thirteen of the crew to
the other; and the remainder to the fragments of the
wreck that were fining near them. Shortly after
this merino! o'y incident we parted company; twelve
days after this ontnr, nee, three men (that were in my
company) died from storvation. On the day these men
die I wo sighted a steamer, which we signalled by

, THE CENSUS: THOUGHTS THEREON BY THE
"SATURDAY REVIEW."
A preliminary report has been issued coutaining the
omit conspicuous restate of the riceint Census. Tee
onmpilu he. been unusually lively. We must wawa
thst it strike' us as e melancholy circumstance that the
32,506 enumerators hould have come 'across so very few
specimens of oce-ntrieity. Oue "author," towards
whom we cannot but feel amiably disposed. informs the
ltegistrarGeneral that his wife oonsiders him to be at
once a lunatic end an idiot. Probably this gentleman
WAS • contributor to a cumuli newspaper, who imagined
himself more or lass dimly to be makiug a joke, but we
cannot ovoid the suspicion that for part at least of the
oorjagel judgment there was a oertaiu amouot of justi-
titration. With this solitary exception it would stem
thet we all filled up our papers In a spirit of appropriate
sobriety. One or two people declined, indeed, to blue
anything to do with then; and one (though it seems
only one) geutdemln alleged the precedeut of Devid es
• sufficient justifiedion of his refusal. But what are
these /I ongst so vast a multitude? We have obviously
been elevated or depressed to that stage of civilization
In which statistic's ia.vu acquired • oertaia sano'ity,aud
nobody is wrong-headed enough to be amusing. In
default of such sources of interest, the report indulges
in some flights of eloquence which somehow strike as
as rather a fanny admixture in the prosaic records of
our prospess. Wo have fragments of eloquence as to
the marveling growth of London ; quotations from
Levy, De Tocqueville, and Uobbett ; and bits of ordinary
guidebook such as the remark that " the historio fame
of Bath is still upheld by that elegant city and its
watere"—though now is upheld, °slept by the
continued existence of the city and its waters, •
circumatitnce which bearcely required to be established
by the authority of a Regmtrar-Geoeral, we do not
precisely understand. Perhaps, too, it is a slightly
irrelevant remark that the battle of Towson was fought
on a Palm Sunday. though we may be gratified at the
proof afforded by this automat) of historical erudition
that even • collector of statistics has room in his bosom
for human interests. Ile is • little closer to his sub-
ject when he pronounces •moderate eulogy upon matri-
mony, an institution which, as be truly says, has been
generally respected by the clergy of the Church
of England, includiog Jeremy Taylor, who moreover
have enforced the precept as to increasing and multi-
plying both by preaching and example, "especially
by example." The Registzar-General is positively In
danger of becoming flippant. He adds, more seriously,
that no religious sect in this kingdom objects to an in-
crease in the population, and that ". Milton and the
poets have written in the same sense.' Finally, we are
informed in the concluding paragraph that the census
proved that "during her happy reign 5,900,000 have
been added to Her Majesty Queen Victoria's subjects,
not by the seizure of neighbouring territories, but by
the enterprise, industry, and virtue of her people." tie
far as as "enterprise, industry, and virtue" are neon-
eerily implied in the fast of • population increasing
and multiplying, this statement is undeniable, but
perhaps some other qualities are cemmerned in producing
the result. When we endeavour to withdraw our
minds from the untiments so happily expressed by
the official authorities, ant to lower ourselves to the
frame of mind appropriate to statistical contemplation,
we lind the main feat to be that whereas in 1861 there
were 28,997,485 people in these islands, there are now
'31,465,4t0 Our population increases at the rate of
1,173 to • day, 408 of whom emigrate, whilst 705
oontribute to swell the home population. It
EagLind matinees to increase at its present rate,
our numbers will be doubled in fifty-six years.
What, on the whole, do we think of it? We 'sonless
that we are half inclined to retort by another question;
is this kind of thing to go on indefinitely? Perhaps we
are cynical or stupid; but, in spite of the eloquence of
the Registrar-Oatmeal, the process strikes us as • little
monotonous. There was mew a gentleman who com-
mitted suicide became he thought it to inexpressibly
stupid to be taking off and putting on his clothes every
night and morning. We confess to have often felt
some sort of sympathy with him, though we have not
hitherto pushed it to the same extreme. To-morrow
and to-morrow and to-morrow creeps in this potty pace
from day to dsy, and every yesterday" has brought into
our English world 1,173 additional fools. This little
bit of a planet is getting unpleasantly full of featherless
bipeds with a strong family resemblance. Our "enter-
prise, industry, and virtue" are doubtless incalculable,
and Jemmy Taylor and Milton and the poets would
rejoice to see our diligence in increasing and multiply-
ing. Bet yet we should somehow like a little change.
We have really so many fellow-creature', all of whom
we are bound to regard with Christian affection, that
we almost find the task too heave for us. War, as we
fondly believed • few years ago, is going out of fashion.
Even when it was raging most furiously it could scarcely
keep things straight. There were very few days, even
last autumn, when more people did not go to sleep at
night than had awakened in the morning. Tao utmost
energy in killing, aided by all the refinements of modern
science, and carried on by any number of dieciplimel
men, merely amount. to • fiesebitr. The whole result
is • mere insignificant pruning, which predates no per-
ceptible effect; In some fertile districts of North
America there was lass than one person to • square mile
when the inhabitant, were savages, whilst in civilized
England there are on an average 389 Inman beings in
the same space; and the proems may go on, for any-
thing we can see, till we have no standing-room. Why
cannot we have • little change? There is something
appalling in the prospect. The Registrar-General speaks
very contemptuoualy of France—Mat unfortunate
reentry which is for the moment brought in to point
every disagreeable moral and suggests that the
restraints by which population is there limited should
not properly be called "moral" We are certainly not
, about to argues, very ugly question ; and yet we cannot
help Liking whether a thoroughly civilized population
would not prefer, if it °odd ha doms without objoetiou-
able means, to remain approximately stationary. Is
the ordinary human being so glorious • creature that
the fact of there being a few more thousands of him in
the world on every sucioesaive Saturday should be •
ammo for unqualified satisfaction? We already begin
to feel • kiwi of Black Hole of Calcutta sensation,
and though we are fir from having reached the limits
of our prison, we arc setnible that it is not capable of
indefinite extension. When we consider the composi-
tion of this vast mess of humanity, we have, in some
respects, still queerer sensations. More aud more of
us are steadily scoumuleting in towns. A town popula-
tion means • population ready for communism, inclined
to part company with all established °revisited generally
acting the part of • social powder-magazine. Whether
the increase of each persons is or is not • desirable state
of things must be decided by each of our readers se
cording to his revolutionary or conservative tendendee.
Meanwhile, the other great fact of the Census, the
growing disproportion of the sexes, raises stiil more
uncomfortable reflections. The tendency of a large
number of unmarried wow= is tuidoubteft to develop
the social annoyance known as the earnest-minded
advocate of women's rights. It is ao menfort to us In
this respect to be told that the excess of women in
England is compensated by anemias of men in America.
The Registrar-General, indeed, remarks that this cir-
cumstance should be an inducement to women who
would like to take • pert in founding a great empire
to cross the water. We could wish that some of them
would look at the matter from that point of view.
Unluckily, the ladies' advocates seem more disposed to
claim • share in administering • ready-made empire
than to undertake the more ambiguous task of hemm-
ing the grandmothers of empires yet to be created.

RIOONOILID TO ITIII FATL—A publican, named
Aahwarth, living near Aornington, recently missed his
wife, At first it was thought that she had only had a
run down to some watering place to tease her husband;
bat three weeks elapsed without any tidings of her. On
Wednesday evening, however, a telegram was received
from Queenstown stating that she had been detained, as
she was on the point of embarking from that port for
America with a man—a lodger of the publican's, a
machine fitter, minus one eye and bandy-legged. The
husband sent word for the couple to be released, and
they took the earliest vessel for America: She has
taken with her • considerable sum of money, the loss of
which the husband does not seem to deplore.
A JITITTIRIOOB A Ourtczxur,— In the Hairdressers
Chronicle we recently came across • new word. Here
it is: but don't read it too fast, or you may tumble
over it—Anaehromathrix. One of our staff attempted
to pronounce it, and ever gnu two ammo= have been
busily engaged in attempting to heal his broken j ilr.
We sent it to the Solicitor-General, for the purpom of
obtaining his opinion as to whether It had anything to
do with the TMhborne case, bet the claimant could not
remember having seen or heard the name before. He
would not swear he had not, but be would swear be
could not reeollece. On being shown to Martin F.
Tepper, that eloquent poet at once penned a lyrio on
the marvellous word. Unfortunately it was too heavy
to be carried upstairs to the compositors' room; conse-
quently it remains in the cellar. Mr. Lowe, betas
favoured with a sigh of it, at once proposed to adopt it
for the neat match-tax label, but the offer was politely
declined. Mr. Gladstone said it recalled his early Greek.
But we need not say more. The mystery is still
unsolved. What does it mean? We shall continue to
ask this question until the answer is forthcoming.
As burnt:mom Gooss.—Those geese which once
saved Rome from its enemies seem to have monopolised
the glory of their rue in the history of human effairs.
No other bird of this species that we recollect, if we
reject the somewhat doubtful tale of that individual
game that laid the golden egg, has ever acquired a
reputation for any great exploit. The entire rue has,
Indeed, become • "biasing and • bye-word," and we
are wont to use their name as • symbol of eimplieity
and softness. At last, however, from across the broad
Atlantic—to use the gushing style of that great poet,
Ebenezer Jones—where seek matter-of-fact occurrence
seems to assume some guise of the marvellous, comes
a story of an intelligent goase,the property of • ferryman
at Btryock's Ford, Kentucky. This faithful bird, at an
early age, forswore the frivolous company of her kind,
and every day accompanied her muter as he plied the
vocation of Charon at Stryock's Ford. She swam before
the boat as if to lead the way to the other aide, and
when the craft WU anchored, lingered by, giving the
signal U a traveller made his appeeranoe. Some wretch
has stolen this valuable bird, and perchance, ere this, Ms
savoury flesh bath been served up in a pie. tier
martyrdom, however, like that of many another simple
saint, has been the occasion of nuking known the
faithful deeds of her lifetime, and adding now glory to
her maligned race.
Tuognmutroums,—The Manchester and Liverpool
papers again report fearful thunderstorms on Monday.
Great alarm was experienced by the inhabitants of
Ohester-road, Tuebrook, a suburb of Liverpool, during
the storm on Monday night, A vivid flub of lightning,
accompanied by • loud report of thunder, as if a battery
of Armstrong guns had been discharged, shook the
houses to their foundations. Eyewitnesses of the
electric fluid, which struck the house Ni. 12, smashing
the ci'aininey pota and knocking two holes in the back
Dart of the roof, and raising it bodily, desaribe it as a
Imu of fire, which, so soon as it had struck the chimney
spread itself in zigzag flames of fire: It seems to have
followed the course of the chimney to the sitting-room,
and thence made It. escape by the entrance to the yard the
door fortunately being open. The rooms were filled with
debris and dense smoke of sulphurous smell, and for a
short time it was supposed that the house was on fire.
A curious freak may be mentioned with reference to
the lightning, which travelled across the street to •
house immediately opposite, wrenching off the hammer
of the front door knocker, but doing no further damage.
Fragment' of bricks and chimney pots were hurled •
dimes of nearly 40 nide from the house *melt. No
