is only l0.40 per cent. making a difference
Of nearly one-sixth in favor of the loDgev-

DIR GREAT CITIES.


In all our great cities, the females are
more numerous than the males. The ave-
rage of our largest cities. Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Charles
ton and New Orleans. gives 100 females
to every 100 males, while the average Of
the whole United States gives but 81 fe-
males to every 100 males, making the fe-
males in our cities about 10 per cent. more
numerous than in the country at large
This great excess of female population in
our large cities is to be attributed in part
to the fact that many of the males are en-
gagged in occupations in which there is un
usual risk of life. Our seamen, for exam
pie, are taken principally from the town
on the coast. This, however, does not &C,
count for the whole difference, for it is a
singular fact that in every one Of the above
mentioned cities, among the children an
der sirteen gears of age, where of course
the cause referred TO does not operate, the
females are more numerou, than the males
while in erery State in the Union, the fac
is the reverse; and in the new States es
pecially the excess of males among thu
children is very great. In the states o
Alabama, Mississippi, Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri. for example, all Of which
have been recently settled, there arr
among the children under ten years ofage
7G.067 boys and 70,0Ss girls that is, fo
every 100 boys there are only % girls; il
the old States of New Hampshire, Massa
chusetts, Rhode Island. Connecticut ant
the District of Columbia, there are 1873, l!
boys, and l5s,384 girls; that is, for ever.
100 boys there are 97 girls; while in ou
six largest cities, there are, under 10 year
of age, sS,sl9 boys and s8,2oS girls, tina
is, for every 100 boys there are nearly 10
girls.
