The proportion of males over females in
the different countries of the world has recent
ly been the subject of investigation. In the
United States, in 1850, in total white popu-
laton of 10, 553 ,06S, there was an excess of
1876. In 1860, in total white population
of q, 003, 3l4, there was an excess of 735, 544
males. In free colored population of 49,.
900 there was an excess ofs 1896 females !;
and in slave population of 1858, 76O an ex
cess of II, 400 males. In Great Britain there
is an excess ofs 700, 900 females over males :;
and in France, Austria, Spain, Italy and
Prussia, with a population of lbs, zoo, 600,
there are ,074 900 more females than males.
Terrible as were some of the wounds of the

was as badly crippled as one of the War of
1912. He is described as 1.-THE worst cut-up

ed in the fight known as Perrys Victory.
During the engagement he was STOPPING down
to pick up something, when chain-shot took
off both his arms and legs-the former below
the elbows, the latter below the knees. He
afterwards adapted himself thoroughly TO his
shorn condition; would run and dance on his
knees with great agility, and taking stick in
his elbow joint, would fence and defend him
self, parry and thrust, advance and retreat,
with great alacrity. Spared by the chain
shot. he at last met his fate in an encounter
with that slayer of millions John Barleycorn.
The crops in Indiana are decidedly prom
ising. The Chicago Tribune says that it is
pleased TO state that the most cheering ac-
counts of growing crops, both of grain and
fruit, comes in. A careful review of the
state papers show that more than an average
breadth of wheat has been sown this season,
and that thus far the prospects are most
excellent for heavy yield. In large and
small fruits, despite the fear OF the late
frosts, there seems to be no possibility of
failure.
Paris, Bourbon county, Kentucky, has a
population of 5000. The county is the centre
of the whisky distileTy interests; the Mecca
of all topers. Whiskey in its native purity,
the veritable "O!d Bourbon, is manufactured
and this interest has swallowed up nearly all
others. The Good Templars here have a
lodge of over 800 members, and are laboring
hard to counteract the influence of the whisky.
