FACTS IN HUMAN LIFE.-The number of Ian
guages spoken in the world amounts to s, O64-
5S7 in Europe, 896 in Asia, 276 in Africa, and
1854 in America The inhabitants of the globe
profess more than ], 900 different religions. The
number of men is about equal to the number of
women The average of human life is about %
years. One-quarter die previous to the age of
years; one-half before reaching II; and those
who pass this age enjoy facility which is re-
fused one-half the human species. To every
1000 persons only one reaches 100 years Of
life; to every 100 only reach the age of IS;
and not more than one in 500 lives to 80 years
of age. There are on earth 1000, 100000 in
habitants; any of these 333, 333, 1913 die every
year; 81, 1884 every day; $3.50 every hour
and 60 every minute, or one every second
These losses are about balanced by an equal
number of births. The married are longer
lived than the single, and, above all, those who
observe sober and industrious conduct Tall
men live longer than short ones. Women have
more chances of life in their favor, previous to
being 50years of age, than men have, but fewer
afterWard. The number of marriages is in pro-
portion Of % to every 1000 individuals. Mar
rlages are more frequent after the equinoxes-
that is, during the months of June and Decem-
ber Those born in the spring are generally
more robust then Others Births and deaths are
more frequent by night than by day. The
number of men capable of bearing arms is cal
culated at ne-fourth of the population

cANs.--Disastrons Dcttat Of the Ffench.-lh
particulars of the atlar of Count Raousset,
Guaymas, are extensively gwen in tho MoAica
papers. The New Orleans Courier sums up tn
details thus:
ON the I'd Of July, NJ. de taou,>e dscmbark
ed a few leagues from Guaymas and repaired pri
Yately 10 the harbor under false name. He ha
an interview with his most intimate conhdents
and sounded che disposition of the garrison,ueaf
ly all the soldiers of which (being French yolun
teers) were known to him. 1t appears that IN
first advances were met with IA refusal, and
was advised to set sail for san Francisco. Is
what promises, by what stratagem was he abb
on the following DAYS to induce the entire CARR
sou to revolt, so strangely This is what "
have vet to learn. ile succeeded, however, II
imposing ON the battalion. and ON the 18th he on
>deavored 10 treat with ten. Nane2. rhc de
mands of the Count. who demanded nothing les
than the hostages aud artillery, were equivalen

refused. On thu afternoon 81 the l3th,he openl.
declared hi- intentions, aud resulutely conducte,
III person the attack against the barrack of tn
Mexican troops; he was repuised by the latter.
undor Gen. ! ,neZ, after having fifty men killed
his ranks were filled with wounded. During tn
attack the popuaee armed themselves aud Gu
off his retreat. He surrendered at discretion
the head of 200 men; some had succeeded in Is
Gaping from the CITY. Such has been the disas-
trous result of this dete>table enterprise.
The Picayune has the following account of the
battle:
The camhat lasted three hours the French
numbering four hundred men, aud ended in their
complete route, leaving forty-sx dead, many
