The AnglO-SaXOn Race: Its PROGRESS.

By fayoring coincidence, the general total of
the American csnsus taken last year, has Just been
received, and we are enabled in conjunction with
the returns made on the 3lst of Mach for Eng
land, to measure the absolute progress of the An
glo-Saxon race in its two grand divisions, and to
compare the laws Of their respective growths in
relation to each other and to the rest of the world
It is estimated, including Ireland and the colonies,
that there Is grand total of men sharing the
same general tendencies of civilization Of 56,00O,-
600, from which is to be deducted the three mill
ions of slaves in the United States leaving re-
mainder of fifty-three millions, chiefly of Anglo
Saxon descent, and deeply impregnated with its
sturdy qualities of heart and BRAIN as the repre-
sentative of this advancing stock,
Two centuries ago there were not quite three
millions of this race on the face of the earth
There are million more persons of Magyar de
scent, speaking the Magyar language, at the
present moment in Europe, than were in Europe
and America of this conaueFing and colonizing
people in the time of Cromwell How vain, then,
for men to talk of the political necessity of absorb
ing small races! Sixty years ago the Auglo-Sax-
on race did not exceed 100000 in Europe and
| America. At that time it not numerically
stronger than the Poles. Thirty years ago it
counted only 34,000,00 and a fraction more than
the population of Central Europe. In 1851, it is
ahead of every civilized race in the world. OF
races lying within the of civilization, the
Sclayes alone are more numerous counted by heads
but comparatively few of this plastic and submis,
sve stock have yet escaped from the barbarism ol
the dark ages In wealth, energy and civilization
they are not to be compared with the Frank the
! Teuton, and the AnglO-Saxon. Number is their
only element Of strength, ..
OF all the races which are now striving for tht
mastery Of the world, to impress on the future O
society and civilization the stamp of its own char
acter and genius and to make its law, idiom, re
ligion, manners, government and opinion prevail
the Angle-Saxon is now unquestionably the mos
numerous, powerful and active. The day nigh
possibly have been crashed. absorbed or traInple'
out, like Hungary or Poland, by stronger hordes, i
gone forever. That it was possible at onetime 70
this people to be snbdued by violence, or Gall pre-
to the slower agencies of decline there can be lii
tie doubt In 1890, the United Provinces seen
ed more likely to make ngrand figure in the world
!; history than England. Their wealth. activity. an
maritime power, were the most imposing in Ell
rope. They had all the carrying trade TO the We.
in their hands. Their language was spoken i
every port. In the great Orient their empire We

The Thorn in the Pillow.

Mabel went to spend few days with her grand
mother. She rode in the stage coach without eth
er father or mother to go with her; for though
little girl she could take good care of herself and
the driver promised to set her down just where she
wanted to stop Mabel thought it was very fne
to 60 off Just ike grown up folks 70 think and act
for hersslf and she was much pleased with the idea
of taking her grandmother by surprise, and carry
ing her a new cap. So she kissed her parents and
the baby, and jumped into the coach, and drove
awey With very smiling face. When she reached
her journeys end, about fifteen miles off, her grand
mother was surprised and glad to see her; she had
cherrypie for Mabel; the cap fitted it was called
"a beauty" and Mabel was very happy. -
When il came night, she was tired, and very
thankful to go to bed, and her grandmother puthe
into nice little chamber, opening to hers 1t had

while. then she grew restless, twisting her head

she thought "very likely Mabel was q little home

A Missionary Family in Germany

There is q small kingdom in the Germanie con-
federation, which sends out more missionaries n
comparison to its numbers, than any other land of
the world. 1t Is the kingdom of wirtsmbese, lnot

southwest Germany. The pioR people Of thaa
country. who generally hslaog 10 the middle OF

the missionaries educated at Basle Brother Dauble

Interior Of the Earth.

- A fact Of great interest has been proved in
boring for Artesisn wells in the suburbs of the
city of Paris namely, that as we go forward to
the centre of the earth the temperature increases
at the rate of ore degree to every fifty feet That
the whole interior portion of the EARTH at least
great part of it, is an igneous ocean of melted
rock, agitated by violent winds, though dare not
afirmit, is still rendered highly probable by the
phenomena of volcanoes The facts connected
with their eruption have been aseertained and
placed beyond doubt. How then are they to be
accounted for! The theory prevalent some years
since, that they are caused by the combustion of
immense coal beds, is perfectly puerile and is en-
never afford fuel enough for single capital exhib
ition of Vesuvius. We must look higher than
this; and have little doubt that the whole rests
upon the action of electric and galvanc princi
pies, which are constantly in operation in the
earth We know that when certain metals are
brought together, powerful electric actonis evol-
ved, and light is produced, superior even in eff
fulgence to the splendor Of the sun. Now if a
small arrangement produces such results, what
may we not expect from the combustion of these
immense beds of metals to be found in the earth.
Here we have the key to all the grand phenomena
of volcanic action. An illustration on small
scale may be seen in an instrument called the
theoretical battery, made of zinc, bismuth, and
antimony, packed in box and vanished. In
this, heat is evolved below, while the top is cold
and here we have the very cause of the volcano,
when in the interior fiery ocean is heaying its
sprges, while its peak is capped with everlasting
snows.-Prof. Saiiman.

Reform in the Turkish Erulre.

At Constantinople there are two kinds of courts
of Justice, the civil and criminal. AT the civil,
everything must be established By Mussulman wit
nesses at the criminal, evidence is received from
Christians also, aud is chiefly circumstantial--
part of the empire. But now frman has been
issued, ordering criminal court to be established
in every place in the country and it is supposed
to be the plan of the government, gradually to
order more and more cases to be tried at these
new courts, until those where the testimony of
Mussulmans alone Is received, shall he done away.
