SPECULATION. Rc.pectIng the Next Census.

A the time approaches for taking the census oil the
people OF the United States, statiscans are busy WIN
,bcig estimates OF its PROBABLE results The growth Oh
population in this Union for the last seventy years mas
been toerabynnorm but there are some elements which
couse il TO vary viz foreign immigration and domestic
migration. The New York Times has some estimates
which it seems TO US cannot fail to be nearly correct
We have already for example, the whole amount oil I'M
migration from Europe in the last ten wears; next we
have the average rate of mortality showing how many
of these are alive and although we do not kno"
the precise amount Of domestic migration, we know Ger
tam general facts that the great current of migration
ia TO the West and chiefly to the Northwest In addl-
ton all these general data some of the States took
semdecenrial in 1855. The States OF Massa-
cbuset,s New York Georgia Florida, Alabama, Loulsi-
.na, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin, took the census III
1875 and Arkansas in 1854 In these States, situated
10 different parts Of the Union almost exact estimate
be made aud they indicate very clearly the degree
of growth in their respective sections In some oil the
States also the number of slaves is given for taxation
A calculation based on these facts for each particular
State gives an aggregate little larger than what the
general ratio Of growth would give. Is that not likely
TO be true We think it is for this reason between
$3.50 and 1860 there arrived in the United States one
aon Of foreign immigrants more than had arrived be-
tween 1910 and 1850 Deductng from these the proper
ratio Of deaths and there would remain Of these at least
screen baars{ thousand in 1860 This is to be added to
the aggregate obtained by applying the ratio OF antece-
dent growth Taking these facts and principles as the
basis of calculation the Times gives the following result

been accomplished, and in ten days, by the Pony Ez-

This truly marvellous achievement is the work of flesh
and blood and not the result of cunning scientific com,
binaton of philosophical forces It was accomplished
by horses and riders speeding like the wind over the
silent Plains, through gloomy canons and frowning for
ests, and over mountains As rider with his seed
tired another snached the treasured package and bore
it onward until ike the battle call of the Highland clan
it arrived safely at its destination. How the savage

crag, on his furious mission. All honor to the Ponies
