WORLDS PoPULAT1oN.-It has been very
variousiy estimated by eminent writers, by
Busching in 1887 at 1,OOO, 900 900, by Fabri
and Stein in 1900 at 9OO,OOO,OOO, by Stein
and Horschelmann in 1888 at 1000, 900,
by Dieterici in 1853 at 1,2se,OOO, 900, and
by Kolb in 1865 at 1920, OO0,O 900. DIR.
Benin estimates it now at !. $50 ,OOO, 900, thus
distributed: Europe, 10000 600; Asia,
79S, 900,0O0; Australia and Polynesia, g.
$4,000; Africa, $4,000, 900: and Ameri-
ca, 74,500,O00. At the same time he ac-
knowledges that it is impossible to arrive at
anything more than an approximate notion
of the population in Asia and Africa, there
being no census or other accurate means of
ascertaining the number of inhabitants in
those countries.

Though the official results of registration
in some of the Southern States are not re-

practical purposes have been published, and
it appears that the colored people have
majority in South Carolina, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana. In Geor'
gia the whites have majority of about
2, 900, in North Carolina and Virginia, 90
900 each, in Texas 81, 900 and in Arkansas

D1sREsPEcT TO THE PREsIDENT.-A dis
patch says that the sentence imposed upon
Assistant Engineer George w. Sawyer, ny
court-martial at Portsmouth, N. H., has been
approved by Secretary WelIes. The charge
against Mr.. Sawyer was that of using Ian
guage disrespectful to. the President OF the
United States. 1t appears that he and two
or three other officers on duty at the Ports
mouth yard, were one day talking, and they
finally got into political discussion. Con,
grcss was denounced as an unconstltutlona'
body, guilty of usurpation and of the enact
ment of unjust and tyrannical laws In tns
heat of argument, Mr.. Sawyer responded Cd
by saying that Congress would fail OF i's
duty unless it inpeached the PresidenttEs

AN EFFEcTUAL CURE FOR THE EAR ACHE.
Take small piece of cotton batting or cot
ton wool, making depression in the centre
with the end of a finger, and fill it with as
much ground pepper as will rest on five
cent piece, gather it into ball and tie it up,
dip the ball into sweet oil and insert it into
the ear, covering the latter with cotton wool,
and use bandage or cap to retain it in its
place Almost instant relief will be exper-
fenced, and the application is so gentle that
an infant will not be injured by it, but ex-
experience relief as well as adults.

in the case of Elizabeth Turner, apprenticed
under some local authority in Maryland to
Philemon T. Hambleton, of Talbot county,
In that State. The Chief Justice pronoun-
ces the indentures by which she was bound to
him to be in violation of the amendment to
the Constltutionofth the United States, where
by slavery was abolished, as also of the civil
rights bill, of which he affirms the constitu-
tlonality: In accordance with this opinion,
ne issued an order discharging the girl from
the custody of her pretended master. This
decision will virtually put an end to the in
famous apprentices system of Maryland, which
IN fact is simply slavery under another name.

says: II have eaten plain, simple food;
few kinds at a meal, avoided knick-

used mostly vegetable food, and milk

MERcENARY LAWYERS IN ENGLAND.
M. D. Conway, In one of his letters to
the Boston Commonwealth, says: 1T is
not little remarkable-mores SO here, I
think, than in AmePica-how complete
ly purchasable LAWYERS are. 1 heard a
good story of the late lord chancellor.
Richard Bethel. He was employed by
a party in certain suit to frame a bilf.
Afterwards the opposing party in the
same cause employed him to conduct
their side of the case, and of course to
oppose the bill which he had drawn for
the other. Nothing could exceed the
scorn with which he denounced the bill.
It was, he declared, q blunder, an inn
becility from beginning to end. "In
fact" he thundered out, '.if the court
will allow me to say 80, In the whole
course of my practice I have never
known bill 50 disgraceful to be offered
In any court Of law" The bill was
thrown out Of court. The poor fellow
who had offered it afterwards went up
to the lawyer, as he was retiring, and
said: "Why, Mr.. Bethel, you drew up
the bill yourself my dear sir" was
the bland reply, "a more perfect bill was
never offered to the court"
