THE GROWTH OF OUR CITIES, OLD AND
NEw.-Boston was trying to grow nearly
one hundred years before she attained n pop
uation of 10000.
ALBANY was two hundred years.
New York was one hundred and thirty
years.
Philadelphia, settled sixty or seventy years
later, grew much faster than the Oldest cities,
and arrived at the dignity of ten thousand in
much less time-that is, about fifty years.
New Orleans was about one hundred years
old before she got that number.
During the first one hundred years after
the settlement of Boston, Gn l630D she was
the largest city in the colonies.
New York became rs populous rs Boston
just before the revolutionary war.
Philadelphia had taken the lead of both
her older sisters many years before the war.
About 1871 New York became as popu-
lous as Philadelphia, each containing one
hundred thousand inhabitants.
Baltimore overlook Boston about the year
1900.
The principal new cities grew to the mum.
ber Of 10000 nearly ms follows: Pittsburg
in IS years; Louisville, so years; Cincinnati,
% years; Cleveland 40 years; and Milwaukee
10 years.
The above named cities attained to 90
600 in the number years from their births as
follows: Boston, 1853 years; Albany, 800;
New York, $50; Philadelphia, 80; New Or

THE RIoTs AT BELFAST IRELAND.-The
riot, mere mention of which was made in
the telegraphic summary of the Europas
news, took place between the Roman Catho-
lies and Orangemen, on Sunday afternoon,
at the funeral of woman, the daughter Of n
member of the Catholic Gun Club. A fight
soon commenced between the procession of
"mourners" and the lockers on, and was car
ripd on with great terocity for nearly an hour.
Men, women and children participated, the
fair sex making themselves especially con-
spicuous in procuring supplies of stones and
other missiles for the male combatants. The
victory might be claimed by both parties, as
each was about equally disabled. On the
following Wednesday the warfare was re-
sumcd, and private houses, and churches Of
different denominations sacked by the rioters.
The attention of Parliament has been called
TO those bloody feuds.

AcouIrTAL OF G. w. HARBY.-The New

Stone some time last spring, for the seduc-
ton of his (IIarby's) daughter. Stone de-
MED the seduction unit! his death, after be-
ing shot, but upon the trial the seduction was
proven by letters read before the jury, and
the jury therefore very properly returned n
verdict of"not guilty." and heaven and earth
will say amen to the verdict

GRAssEs.-Over 1000 varieties have been
noticed by naturalists. Over 200 varieties
have been cultivated in England. A dozen
sorts cover nineteen-twentieths of all the

ed from n man by the name of Timothy
tIerd,) hundred and fifty years ago, was

H- The ST. Louis Evening News of the
nth inst, gets off the following hyperbOli-
cal paragraph in relation TO the high waters
in the Mississippi. Some of the expressions
are pretty and appropriate enough, but the
whole paragraph has the appearance of be-
lug spun little too fine for ordinary use:
The crisis in the food has passed. The
Mississippi has attained its highest point, and
now, like giant whose power has been ex-
hibited, and whose ambition il sated, il be.
gins, with majestic serenity, slowly to recede.
The grea: Aorta of the Continent, rolling
with mighty murmur along the three thou
sand miles ef It's throbbing course-swollen
into thousand aneurisms with the blood il
has drunk from myriad arteries md veins
with the tribute of crystal tears ruthlessly
exacted from armament of weeping mists
with the laughing water and the glittering
lakelets OF Minnesota-with the languid
ooze Of the wild rice fields of the North
with spouting torrents torn with thunder
throes from the groaning wombs Of noun
tain clouds-wth dews gathered from the
hoary locks of crags and cliffs-with streams
that spring WIFI leap Vi JOY IToul tne ueplhs
of dark gorges-yieds its wealth of waters
to the ocean, and ceases TO threaten the
hundred cities on its borders with its over
flowing waves. Amid the deluge that the
Mississippi has poured out on so many other
cities and towns, st. Louis has stood un-
scathed. Like Queen Of the Flood, she
sat on her throne Of rock, unhurt by the
waves, which did nothing more than wash the
dust from the sandals on her feet.

TAxATIoE OF RAILROAD CORPORATIONS
Gov. Hurle, os New Hampshire, in his mes
sage to the Legislature this week, makes the
following suggestions relative TO Railroads.
We like the admission that the builders of
these roads so greatly TO their own pecuniary
loss, have some claims upon the public for
favorable legislation:
More than six hundred miles of railroad
have been constructed in New Hampshire,
within the last few years. These roads have
more than doubled the facilities OF business,
brought our people into immediate commu-
nication with the best markets, have largely
contributed to the public convenience, and
have materially increased the value of the
taxable property of the State. They were
constructed ut very great expense, but have
failed, except in rare instances, 10 make any
return whatever to the stockholders. A
large number Of the citizens Of this and other
States sacrificed considerable parts of their
estates, and some contributed nearly all of
their property, TO aid the people Of this State
in these great public enterprises. There is
manifest injustice in adding to the embarrass-
ment of railroad corporations, owing more
than the value Of their property, and result
ting in an entire loss to the tockholders, by
subjecting them to higher rate of taxation.
| submit to you the question, whether some
notifications of the law of the State relating
to the taxation Of railroad corporations are
not justly demanded.

THE WEsT Is THE SEAT OF EMPIRE.-Ca-
eb Gushing, in his late speech at Boston,
paid the following elegant and striking trib-
ute TO :he West:
jealous of the SOUTH Such would not
be my theme, if the demon of sectionaism
had so far possessed itself of me. | should
not strive 10 draw the attention of Massa-
chusets away from the only real danger of n
sectional nature which threatens, and TO fas-
ten her attention upon an imaginary ope.-
Nor by the comparatively small section of the
Union lying between Mason and Dixon's
line and the Gulf OF Mexico ia the sceptre of
the power in this Union TO be held hereafter;
but by those vast regions Of the West, State
after State, stretched out like star beyond
star in the blue depths of the armament, far
away TO the shores of the Pacific. What is
the power of the old thirteen, North or South,
compared with,that of-the mighty West!--
There is the seat of empire, and there is the
hand of imperial power! Tell me not Of the
perils of the slave power and the encroaeh.
ments of the South. Massachusetts and
South Carolina together will be as clay in
the fingers of the potter, when the great
West shall stretch forth its arm of power,
as ere long it will, TO command the destiny
of the Union"

A REMEDY FOR DRUEKENNEss.-I would re.
commend ipecacuanha rs a cure fo- drunken
ness, taken in half-drachm doses as an emetic.
Ipecacuanhn has the extraordinary property
of stimulating the whole system, equalizing
the circulation, promoting the various serre-
tions, and, indeed, assistlhg each organ Of
the body to perform its function, and to re-
store its normal state. lpecacuanha can be
taken with perfect safety as m emetie; on
that account it is preferable to tartar emetic.
believe the administration of half drachm
of ipecacunnha as M emetic to be n cure for
periodical drunkenness. II lis observed that in
the intervals between the periods Of these
attacks the person is quite sober, and often
remains so for two, three or four months, or
for n longer time. When the mania comes
on, the intense desire for alcoholic stimulus
is so strong as to render the sufferer subject
to no control, and, from the sensation of de-
preston and sinking, he can look upon alcO-
holic stimulants as his only remedy. When
found that his stomach is in fault, and if half
a drachm of the powder of ipecacuanha be
taken so as to produce full vomiting, the de-
sire for intoxicating stimulus is Immediately
removed.
From the experience have had Of the ef-
fects of ipecacuanha, am ofopinion, if pa
tent can be persuaded to follow up the eme-
tic plan for few times when the periodical
attack comes on that he will be effectualy
cured, and the habit (for such l look upon t)
will be broken.-Mrs. Higginbottom

character of all vessels suspected of being

"Minnesota enters the Union as the thirty
second State. She extends friendly hand
TO all her sisters, North and South, and gives
them the assurance that she joins their ranks
rot to provoke sectional discord or TO en-
gender strife-not TO enlist in n crusade
against such of them as differ with her in the
character of her domestic institutions-but
to promote harmony and good will, and TO
lend her aid, on all occasions, in maintaining
the integrity of the Union"
