CAHSWI WHICH Amer POPULATION.—It is II wail-
known fact that there is a numerical decrease of the classes
is possession of the advantages of wealth. M. Paasy cites,
as a proof of this, the gradual diminution in the number of
the aristocratic families of antiquity, the extinction of some
of those who figured three matures ago ; and be states that,
in 1789, the half at least of thou men who, under Louis
XIV., occupied the highest posts at court, in the army,
in parliament, princes, marshals, ministers, sod presidents,
had no longer descendents. It ls evident that the upper
classes dread to leave behind then children who shall be
less rich than they were themselves. la Ato be believed,
then, that the same feeling is • less degree does sot in-
fiitenoe other cleans ? It acts in all clues so as to prevent
the population from increasing as rapidly as the Snaps for
its subsistence. M. Plumy also cites the departments of
Normandy in illustration of this, where the rural papilla.
Con for the Ira 30 years has been either stationary arca the
decrease. Wealth abounds there, it has ceased to accu-
mulate, but the love of comfort, the desire to save, and
the dread of the burden of a great number of children is
such that the birth/ have ceased to equal the deaths. In
the Euro the decrease of the population averages nearly
1.800 souls annually. The game occurs in the °roe. the
Calvados, sad IA Manche. The cause rests entirely with
themselves. The country peoples," ambitious of becoming
rich, and fear the expenses of • large family will prevent
their acquiring wealth. They have sever beard of ibltbna,
yet in them he has disciples who surpass him practically to
such • degree that, if they persist, the population will
decrease so much that it will be insofficieut for agricultural
playa's alone.—Serial Science R vier
