American Cites.

In the year 1890, when the first census was
taken, the cities ranked in population as follows:
Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Charleston.
and Baltimore. At that period Charleston was
the 4th city in size in the Union, and the ponula-
ton was 1850, which is about three-ihbs offs
present numbers. Batimoreonly contained :
SOB inhabitants, which is less than the tenth Of
its present number. The other cities named
have increased in equal or greater proportions
In 1900 Philadelphia was still ahead. and New
York, Baltimore, Boston, and Charleston follow
ed In order Charleston was therefore The 18th
city In importance fifty years ago. In 1910 the
same order was presented; but in 1920 New
York had run ahead of Philadelphia, and New
Orleans of Charleston, making the latter the 9th
city in Importance. In 1880 the same rank was
preserved BY the respective cities. But in 1910
Cincinnati, Brooklyn, and Albany had cone a.
head OF Charleston, leaving the latter to occupy
the 9th place. AT the present time enough is
known OF the progress of the. country in popu-
laton, to render it certain that ST. Louis. Louis
vile, Pittsburg, Rochester, Buffalo, Troy. Low
ell, Providence, Richmond. Chicago, and Mil
waukee, and perhaps some Other places. have
eclipsed Charleston-a city peculiarly favored
by nature, and enjoying all the blessings of the
peculiar institution in an eminent degree. She
now ranks eighteenth or taeentieth in the scale,
and she is declining in population.
New Orleans grew very rapidly until 1910,
but since that period it has shown symptoms of
decline. In l847 the census was taken, when
there was actually less population than in 1910.
Mobile has shared the fate of Charleston-it is
perishing Of the slave fever. Baltimore, ST. Lou
is and Louisville, on the northern border of the
slave states, are inyigorated by the healthful at
mosphere Of Freedom. The proportion of slaves
around them is inconsiderable and they are there
fore prosperous National Era.

The Gipsy's Prophecy.
BY PAUL soBoLEsKI,

The storm and winds have ceased to blow.
The leaves and flow'rs are soft and still;
The sad and lonely heart beats slow
The yonder clear and purling rill
funs softly, gently, there below.
The birds their joyous notes now sing
And gentle zephyrs fan the howrs
1hese scenes, alas! to mem'ry bring
Once happy but now vanish hours
The heart, to them, still loves to cling!
lonely wanderer sat reclin'd
In thoughts of Past and Future wrapp't;
'Thinkest of Elias heart and mind ~
The thread of thought the Gypsy snapp'd,
Lookd up, and tried her star to find.
bow, ard then some joyous signs she made,
That none but witches understand:
The book OF future Fate was spread
she lookd at Oscars trembling hand,
And then in mystic language said
"Has not the noble blood run cold
Has not the feeling heart been wrunp?
Yet who could ever have foretold
The strains that Elias heart has sung
The strains of pride, of wealth and gold?
There is a cline, far, far away,
cline of heradry and fame,
Where now oppression has a sway!
There, Oscar has noble name
there Oscars wealth goes to decay!
In days gone by-it was his lot
TO have dominions and some fame;
His sire, man Of lore was thought
Possessed OF virtue, wealth and name,
But Elias spirit knows it not
They err, who think that Oscars heart
Can never, never love again;
Is it that keen Affections dart
Has wrung the soul so oft with pain,
That fate his hopes for aye must thwart?
Over his lone and weary head,
Ihrty-three summers now are past
Albeit, his heart has often bled,
And twice to Earth his hopes were cast
His lings-no-they are not dead!
He thought, or dream'd of Elias love-
1t was painful dream or thought!
Long, long, the heart with destiny stroye--
And now, this dream must be forgot,
Is 1t thus ordered from above?
His soul is not Elias soul
His heart is not ike Elias heart;
All! who can tates DE- crees control!
lis well, perchance that they must part
Ere hearts affections turn to gall!
There a time when Elias fate
A brighter, happier aspect had;
But now, alack it is too late
The hopes of Oscars heart are dead
They botfS the Past, must now forget!
Ihsyon, lone star, twinkling so bright,
. An emblem true of Elias fate
AlRne, alas lite's dreary night
Upon her lonely heart will set
heart, replete with love and light
Fate wraps her destiny in gloom,
For who can know or feel her worth
A mortal,s bride-may be her doom
And dreams Of happiness on Earth
But that will never, never come!

THE New DANISH LOLA MoNTEs.-
The king of Denmark recent contracted
morganatic marriage with pretty miliner
girl, Madame Rasmullen, who has long
sustained to him the relation that fa>
nous Lola Monies sustained in Munich TO
the King Of Ravaria, and who previously
led the same brilliant and dissipated life in
Copenhagen that Lola Monies did in Paris
some seven or eight years ago. She exer~
cises over her royal slave more despotlc
sway than he over his subjects, and makes
her influence sensiby felt in the march of
politics. This marriage is not without high
political importance, for il renders certain
what was before doubtful. the extinction Of
the dynasty now upon the throne.

Cause Of the sudden Disappearance OF ace IN
Lake hamplain,-Professor Olmested made
some remarks before the Association Tor the ad-

Ny. Usually as late as the month OF May, the
ice may be seen on the lake at night IN consider
able thickness, and the next morning, none of it
appears--all is clear. The Professor accounts
for this sudden disappearance on the ground that
the warm weather makes the ice porous, when
it becomes filed with water and sinks to the bot
tom.

Be the hands of thy children united as one,
And Peace shed her light on thy Banner of
