present above 34,4O00O0 inhabitants,
who are disseminated over the country;
not, as in England, congregated atmany
points in large masses. With the eX-
ception OF Paris, there is but one city
Oyon>) containing 100000 inhabitants
eight containing from 10000 to 10
600; and about twenty-five contain
ING more than 10000. According to
the last census, 7,650.OOO inhabitants
live IN 2,I94 cities or towns reckoning
as such places with population OF /.
800 or more individually and 2G,6O0,-
030 live in $4,000 rural communes, (ViI-
lagos and hamiets)
This obviously indicates that agri-
culture IS the employment Of the grea-
ter part Of the population, as will be
seen from division OF the inhabitants

pipe. A iovial sailor rendered a little

Of her mouth. He then halted to hear
her fret at his trick and ENJOY a laugh
at her expense. But what was his as

the pieces of her broken pipe, without
the least resentment in her manner:
