GRowrn OF popJLAT1os. AT th'

taking of the last census, in 1860, the
population Of the United States was
81, 443, 32F. And it was then estimated
by the Census Bureau that in 1870 the
country would contain 1928, ,432, IN
1880 population Of a,45O,24, IN
1890 population Of III ,-66 $50, and
iD 1900 the vast aggregate Of 1908 o.,
8G2, whenthe United Statesawould EN-:
brace but tWonty-eiehs inhabitants to
the square mile; where's the State Of
New York has already y'ninety faur, and q
,Mas>achusetts'l73. Weres the whele
country pcopled as Massachusests IS y. i.
would have within its borders mo less
than 6l9,0o0,O0O. souls, constituting q
nation incomparably transcendihg the
greatest empire Of ancient or modern
times. Elkanah Watson. Benjamin
Franklin's friend, made out table Of
estimated population for every decade up
arthe year 1900, and his estimates have.
thus far held good. He predicted that
in 1900 our population would be be a
round 100000, 900. Though our long
and disastrous civil war was notstaken
into his calculations, it now looks as if
the enormous increase of immigration
will more than maze up for any losses.

The State University.

A great deal of attention has heen
attracted to the StateU University BY re-
cent articles in the Ne,cs, and public
opinion, variable aud uncertain for
time, has settled down to clear con.
clusion. The. argument has been used,
chiefly in Radical circles, that if the
University is a fit place for the old pro-
fe~ors to in, be it must be fit place iol
the.pcople to send their sons 10. This
reasoning has opened the eyes Of some
who did not see clearly befurc. The
University is judged by the character
of the trustees who control the institu.
ton, and while there is no disposition
to interfere with The private arrange,
ments Of those Of the old proftssocs
who still cling lovingly to our Alma
Mater, the pubic sentilnent is totally
opposed to giving the Unisersity any
support, by sending to its Halls any Of
the young men whom We l9ok up"n as
future strength and power Of South
Carolina. No one may think harshly
of the professors who resolve to remain
at their post; but the ,Uuiversity will
have no students worth naming, outside
of the State students, aud perhaps, a
sprinkling Of negroes; y... t3l.

Z INSTITUTE AT YARMoUTH.-The Teachers
Institute at Yarmouth opened at 10 o'clock
Friday morning, as advertised The teachers
of Yarmouth, No, Yarmouth, sPownal, and
Freeport, were mostly out, numbering about
forty. The exercises were conducted by l. B.
Webb, SUPERVISOR assisted by Prof. Allen,
Penn, and A. p. Stone of Portland. Various
subjects were discussed, and methods of teach
ing and governing presented, that cannot fail
to prove beneficial to teachers Mr.. Webb oc-
cupied the forenoon of the first day in showing
how he would teach the little children their
first lessons threading and arithmetic. Prof
Allen occupied the afternoon in illustrating
the best methods of teaching geography and
grammar. The lecture in the evening was from
Prof. Allen. He spoke to parents on the train
ing and culture of children. l shonld be glad
to give some of the points made by the speak
er, which were interesting and most profit
able if properly put into practice by parents
and teachers The lecturer contended that
much parental care and training, or rather
want of them drove their children into the
streets, where they mingle with al classes aud
receive just that knowledge and acquire habits
that they csoufd never RAVE. Tie lecture was
quite lengthy, and we have no doubt the even
ing was spent probably by teachers and par
ents. The storm of Saturday kept many from
hearing Mr.. Stone on history, a subject much
neglected in our schools. We were exceed
ingly sorry that this lecture could not have
been heard by more, as it was very interesting
and instructive.
The good people of Yarmouth are deserving
our thanks for their interest in the Institute.

TO our Customers and Correspondents:

The surprising development OF our national re-
sources and the rapidity with which the Govern
ment is now enabled to reduce the national debt,
by weekly purchases render it apparent that the
time is approaching when the Fiye-Twenty bonds
may be funded at not over four or four and a half
per cent. interest.
Meanwhile their high price. as compared with
other classes of securities paying an equal rate of
interest is leading to general inquiry for more prof
table forms of investment in which money NAV be
safely invested. ~, ua. .I..s VIZ ..-..ar ..
During the war the necessities and peril of the
government, and the consequent cheapness OF its
securities, rendered them attractive that, from
this cause combiled with the patriotic faith of the
people in their safety, they absorbed almost the
entire floating capital OF the country, and diverted
attention from other classes of securities which had
before been deemed sufficiently conservative and
sound to meet the wants of the most cautious in
vestors. vaa b. gt. f- at % I'D

drama will hold sway in City Hail. and oul
citizens will have an opportunity to once more
behold the leading tragedian of the American
stage in a character with which he has become
so identified, that the fact has passed into his

1854, did Booth appear at Winter Gard en-
Theatre il New York as the sMelaucholy
Dane" to audiences composed not merely Of
the floating population of the hotels, and
wealthy pleasure-seekers, but by men and
women eminent for culture, thought, and de-
votion to art, and, even when the hundred
nights had passed, like Oliver, 'they cried fol
more" but exhausted nature demanded rest
and the engagement closed.
Not so very long ago, Booth appeared before
Portland audience in the same great charac-
ter, and also in 'Richelieu."e Crowded houses
greeted him at City Hall on each evening, and
