Grand total,

The division according to creeds is full of
interesting detail. The leading tootings, taken
on the round number of 0,000,0O0 as the
total population of the earth are Christians,
1886 100000, or 2577 per cent; Jews, 100000,
or 0.38 per cent; Asiatic religions, 100000
600, or 4615 per cent. Mohammedan, l6O,
100000, or 1921 per cent. Pagans, 100000
600, or 1889 per cent. The 335,000,000 of
Christians are again divided into-170,0 100000
Roman Catholics, 50.7 per cent; 89,O00,000
Protestants, 26.6 per cent; 100000 Greek
Catholics, 227 per cent.
The conscientious author of the very elabo-
rate paper from which we have made these
extracts is of opinion that although much I'M
certainty attaches to the positive numbers
given under the various heads, yet so manifold
have been his sources of comparisons that the
general results in proportions Of population,
race, or creed, may be adopted as correct

ence with American Guano diggers near our con-
tinent.

The case of some parties for damages sustained

Mr. Schley addressed the Court and said he was
taken by surprise, both in the party be tried and
the counts in the indictment; it was, as he under
stood, the case of Maurice Gideman that was to
be tried first, and from the indictment it appears
that two additional counts have been inserted in
the Indictment by the clerk, which he had no pow
authority to do.
The main plea, as inserted by the clerk, is ''not
guilty." to which Mr.. Schley objected, and said
the only question to the issue was the constitution
alitv of the act of 1858, Sect 5, chap. Ala.
This act is as follows, from which the parties at

posted the amount of the old license law in bank
