SPAIN.

There is something mournfnl about the de-
cay of once mighty nation. A fertile theme
of meditation is afforded by the sight of peo-
pie whose very name was once emblematic of
dignity and splendor, of power upon the land
and on the sea-sinking sadly, though haugh-
tily, into q mere melancholy memorial of de-
parted greatness. Such is Spain at the pres
ent day; and unless some important changes
for the better occur, it is evident that her
"course of empire will soon be fulfilled. Un-
der the Moors, the population of Spain was
thirty millions; it is now less than thirteen
millions. The CGlmor Public, Madrid news
paper, says:
"Granada, before its fall in 1887, contained
400 900 inhabitants, of whom &c, 900 bore arms
It now contains but 10000 souls, all counted
Malaga in the seventeenth century contained
80 000 inhabitants it now possesses only
so 000 Medina del Campo in the seventeenth
century contained 60 900 inhabitants; it now
contains 6. 900. Merida at the epoch possessed
40 600 inhabtants; it now possesses only 5000
In the sixteenth century, the diocese OF Sala-
manca had one hundred and twenty seven
cities and villages; it now has thirteen only
Segoris in 1925 had five thousand families;
now two thousand. Seville in the seventeenth
century had population of 800 900 of which
100 900 were employed in manufactures; it
now contains 96, 600 souls, all told Toledo in
the fifteenth century had 200 900 inhabitants;
it now has $4,000 Valence, which in the year
1900 counted population of SOC, 1000, now
hardly numbers 60 600. In 177S there were
counted ,511 abandoned villages in Spain, and
the number has been increasing from that day
to this"
