THE HUMAN FAMILY.— From a statistical digest just
published, it appears that the human family numbers
700,000,000 ; and its annual loss by death is 18,00
0,000,
which produces 624,400 tons of animal matter, which, in
turn, generates by decomposition 9,000,000,000 cubic
feet of gases, which are cleared away by the atmosphere
by vegetable matter decomposing and assimilating them
for their own uses. This is an interesting subject for
philosophy.
A NEWS FAMINE.—The news-loving portion of Chel-
tenham were put to great inconvenience on Christmas-
day, by the non-arrival of the morning papers, which
were expected to contain the final list of the new Minis-
try. Telegraphic messages were sent to Bristol, Exeter,
and other towns down the line, to know whether the
news parcels had been dispatched by mistake to either
of those places. No intelligence, however, could be
obtained if them until Monday morning, when they
were discovered lying quietly and snugly in the luggage
van in which they had been brought from London on
the previous Friday. It appears that, on the train
coming down on Christmas-day, the man whose duty it
was to hand out the parcels, omitted to look into the par-
ticular compartment of the carriage which contained the
newspapers ; and the consequence was that, while ex-
presses were being sent off to every part of the country,
no one for a moment thought of searching the luggage
van, which had been sent back to Gloucester, and was
standing there until wanted again on Monday.--Chel-
tenAant, Examiner.
