THE BEST PAYING BUSINESS OF
The Comparative Population OF lie
f.ls trOlG and Cleveland.

The Detroit Tribune makes rather 8
lame effort to answer our statistical article
published some days since, showing that
Cleveland was the third, and was soon des-
tined to be the second, city on the Lakes.
Il publishes the result of the census of 1864,
which showed sn aggregate of b3,2l7 in
habitants, and of s,6S2 families in Detroit
an average of 652 persons in each family.
1t continues;
The vhole number of families in the
city on July l, 1866, was 9,SSs, to which
over so have been added. By the $50
Ever4g5 raTI0 or U-Jz 70 6Ecn family We
should rave q population Of 1851. 1t Is
believed, however, that the ratio is much
greater for the ratio of the United States
census throughout the entire country is q
fraction more than 81 to each family, and
it is reasonable to suppose that in large
cities where large numbers of single per-
sons 10 employ ent, and which CONTAIN
large numbers of tsverns boarding houses,
and private and public institutions, which
are set down in the enumeration of families
each respectively as one family, tAe ratio
is much greater.
A ratio of six persons to each family
would give 3 population of SO, 228, and 8
ratio of seven would give SO. ale, and we
do not think the latter figure any too large
in the case of this city.
The only rstio of population to each
family in Detroit that can be used, in ss-
certaining the present population Of the
city, is the n predicsted upon the census
taken in that city last year, which gave it
q population of 53,2I7, ard 1852 families,
being an average of 5.52 persons to each
family. This year the increase of families
is 3l6, which at 5.52 to each gives an in
crease of population of 1868, which added
to the population of last year, would make
the population this gear 54,5sl.
Our esteemed Datroit cotemporsry seems
to be building much upon the fact that the
last City Directory, recently issued, gives
an increase of 5000 names in one year,
which would be equivalent to IN increase
of population in n yesr Of $4,000, allow
ing the customary number of AZ people to
one nsmeI This would simply show that
the Directory of lsst year was not any
thing like q complete one. Cleveland al
make even 8 better show than that. Our
Directory recently published gives an in
crease YER last years Directory of 1886
Names which would be, according to the
Advertisers and TribunSs mode of calcu-
~lation, an increase IL population equal to
2s,512.
The population of the Lake Cities, lesV-
ing out Chicago, which has not taken the
census this year, stands as follows;

Rochester, in which the Fox family orig.
mated S~pirituslism, is soon to be the scene
of q legal trial of its phenomena. The
theories Of Spivituslism are to be passed
upon by the courts. Charles j. Colchester,
q leading " medium" and only second to
the famous Hume in notoriety as q spiritu-
alist, has been arrested on complaint Of the
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
Twenty eighth District of New York, on
charge of prscticing jugglery without q
license. Colchester claims that his
performances are due to supernatural
agency, and not to jugglery, and of course
refuses to class himself with the aFakir of
Ava" Blitz, Andersen, Hermann, Heller
and other celebrated aprestidigitateurs,"
by taking out q license. The United
States District Court, before which the
case viii be heard, will commence its fall
term tO-dsy. and the case is set for trial
during the present week. As the result of
the trial will be 8 legal decision on the
question as to whether the phenomens of
spiritualism sre supernatural or mere
fess of jugglery, it will be a very interest
ing one and strongly contested. The New
York World says that Colchester will be
defended by Judge Edmonds, CT New York
city, Hon. John Tslcott, of Buffalo, and
josiah Cook, Esq, also of Buffalo. All
the "~magicisns," Sdervishes," "fakirs," and

and a number of leading s~pirituslists from
every part of the country for the defense.
