Census OF PROVIDENCE We publish
this morning the Census Of this city, as
Iust completed by Mr.. Jewett, who has
kindly furnished US with his schedule. -
In 1880, the whole number Of inhabitants
was l6, ,832, of whom $3.50 were whites,
and 1918 were blacks. OF this popua-
ton, there were at that time 1896 on the
east side, and 1888 on the west side ol
the river. 1t will be seen, therefore, thn,
the total increase Of the population within
the last FIVE years has been 2445, or be-
tween IA and 10 per cent. We do mol
think that this indicates, as some folks
would fan have us believe, that Steam
Boats and Rail Roads have been the ruin
Of the city. During the same period, the
colored population Of the city has increa-
'sed only ten. Prov. Journal.

The GRsAT REVIEW AT KALIscH. The
Grand Review of the Russian and prus-
sian forces at Kalisch in the middle OF
September, in the presence Of the Empe-
ror of the former and King Of the latter,
must, from the details given, have pre-
sented a spectacle of which there is no
parallel on record. There were 81, 900
troops collected-infantry, cavalry, and
artillery On the arrival Of the King of
Prussia, the Russians were drawn up in
line before their tents, and the King Of
Prussia marched before them at the head
of his columns, sword drawn. The Emp
eror of Russia and his brother, the Duke
Michael, falling in at the head Of the
Prussian regiments named after them.
The same compliment was returned by
the Russian troops, with the Emperor at
the head, marching in column before the
Prussians in line, the three sons of the
King of Prussia taking the command of
the respective Russian regiments named
after them in courtesy. The Empress of
Russia rode on horseback at the head
of her regiment of Guards. The
cavalry regiment Of Circassian Kurds
and those of the Mussulmans and rival
Cossacs, attracted, by their costume, and
their extraordinary feats after the parade,
the greatest attention. They leaped from
their horses in full flight, and remounted
again stood up upon them fired at
target with the greatest precision at the
top of their speed, and performed various
other evolutions, which astonished every
