Estimates as to the number of spritualists in
this country differ widely. Some few enthusi-
astie table tippers foolishly claim that there are
thirteen millions; Judge Edm0nds says between
i've and six millions; Hepworth Dixon, three
millions; andAndrew jackson Davis moderately
estimates the number at 10000; while nom
believers think those figures would be about
right II he left off the l. in other words that the
number does not exceed 10000. The census
tables do not give US the information, and il
does not appear that the spirits themselves have
been consulted. They might be spared from
some OF the so-eailed manifestations to throw
light on this subject, on which they ought
TO be well posted. A census taken by them
would doubtless be as trustworthy as some of
the estimates given above. Mr.. Tebb, an in
teiligent, pains-tsking, English spiritualist, who
has recently Travelled over large part of the
United States, was unable to get any satisfac-
tory information; but, after a wide and serious
Investigation, believes that there are in the
Eastern States three per cent. Of spiritualists;
Middle and Western, two per cent; Southern
States and the Territories, PORTION of one per
cent, making a spiritualist population, includ-
ing the children of believers, of 66O, 900. This
estimate is probably too high, as there are many
who attend the seances and take a scientific
interest in the investigation of the phenomena
presented without having a weIl-grounded belief
that they are produced by any supernatural
agency. A very large number of people believe
there is some natural force, but little understood
as yet, which will account for the few well
authenticated cases of the moving or changing
Of matter without the interposition of direct
visible motor.

If it shall be proven true, as reported, that
young LOring and his companions were massa-
cred by the Apaehes belonging TO one OF the
Arizona reservations, il is about time to aban-
don Mr.. COlyer's sugar-water policy, and leave
the matter OF managing our fendish wards
wholly in the hands OF Gen. Crook. No matter
how eoneiliatOry the course OF government to-
ward them may be, il seems impossible for them
to keep faith and refrain from splitting innocent
aHd unofending blood. AS their own acts have
forced the issue whether they or the white race
shall be exterminated, their friends and apollo
gists cannot complain If they are wiped of the
face Of the earth. No foot of American soil
must be left unsafe for a peaceful traveller, no
matter what the cost

Some have mistaken impression as to the

Some have a mistaken impression As to the
order OF succession to the throne of Great
Britain in case of the death of the Prince of
Wales should Victoria die or abdicate, the
succession would fall to the Duke of Cornwall,
son of Prince Albert, now eight years old, but
In case the Queen ceased to reign during his
minority, regency would be established, and
the Duke of Cambridge, the Queens cousin.
and present cOmmander-in-chief of the army.
would doubtless be made Regent. He would be
acceptable to the Tories and not unacceptable
to the Liberals, from the fact that he has ex-
hibited some sympathy with moderate LIBERAL
ism; but in the present disturbed feeling among
the masses in regard to royal rule, il Is probable
that the Queen will hesitate to carry out the
purpose she is said to have entertained of abb
dieating, and as she is but ffty-two years of
age, and Il of long-lived family, she bids fair
TO continue to reign during the minority of her
grandson.
So great is the prejudice against Prince Al
bert, in consequence OF his vices, his shallow
mind, and his utter lack OF appreciation of the
dignity of his position, that his death would IN
dOubtedly strengthen the British throne. His
unpopularity has been the great motive power
of the English radicals in agitating in behalf of
republican rule, and by his death they would
lose their main argument. To be sure, his SON
may prove quite as vicious and brainless as him
self, but the chances are that he may develop
better; and there is undoubtedly strong VEN
Grafton for royalty amongst the upper and mid
Jle classes that will exhibit itself on emergency
The advocacy of republicanism Is In the wrong
sort Of hands to commend it to a religious, law
abiding people like the English; and the great
property interests Of the Kingdom viii always
make a formidable stand in behalf of royalty and
"settled government"

Where water is plentiful las we trust it soon
will be in Washington and the ground is sloping,
the ordinary plan ofsewerage answers every pur-
lose. But where water is scarce, or a city is
built on fat surface, the drainage problem is
very embarrassing one. new method known
a the . pneumatic sewerage system' is now
attracting considerable attention, air being the
motive power instead of water. The plan is to
divide city into completes and sub -complexes,
a sub-oOmplex comprising all the sub-complexes
within radius Of 800 feet. Each complex has
large air-tght cast-irOn reservoir; and each
sub-cOmplex smaller one connecting with the
main reservoir and with the houses, by means of
PIPES provided with valves and cocks, by which
a circulation Of air may be prevented. The air
inside is exhausted by means OF large air-pump
driven in connection with the main reservoir
by powerful steam-engtne, and then the outer
air, pressing upon the contents of the pipes,
forces them into the reservoir. By this means
the pipes may all be cleared in less than i've
minutes, their contents first passing into the
sub-reservOirs and then into the main one. This
system has been in successful operation in
Prague, Bohemia. for two and half years and
il being introduced into other European cities.

At the meeting of the Boston Common Coun-
Gil last Thursday evening, an order was passed
for the establishment Of a steam fre-boat TO
protect the water front and shipping from fire.
Chicago is taking similar action, and the papers
in that city assert that, with an efficient fire
boat, the frequent fires among the lumber yards
there, heretofore 20 destructive, can in most
cases be extinguished with but little loss. 1t Is
intended that these fre-boats shall be capable
of throwing much larger quantities OF water on
ire than the ordinary steam hre-engines.

Letter from Minnesota,

ANoKA, MIMI, January Goth, 1871.
DEAR WH1G:-Thinking few lines from
former resident of old Cecil would be
acceptable to the readers of your worthy
paper, | conclude to give them few ideas
of Minnesota life.
We will commence with Summer. which
occasionally is as warm as in Maryland,
but only for short time, in the middle of
the day, morning and evening being always
cool aud pleasant, no matter how hot the
day, evening brings a breeze which cools
off everything.
The country surrounding St. Paul cannot
be surpassed for fine drives, and 90 what
road you will, every mile or so you pass a
small lake, the shores of which abound
with lilies and other flowers which fill the
air with the sweetest perfume. The State
of Minnesota claims 2, 200 fresh water lakes,
varying in size from ! of mile to 10 miles
in length. In some of these the fishing is
considered splendid, and the bathing is
good, leaving out the mosquitoes. Quite
a large number of these lakes are connected
and form the head waters of the Mississippi,
which run very quietly along about one
mile from our little town of Anoka. About
Is miles below are the world renowned
Falls of St. Anthony, where two very
enterprising towns have sprung up in
few years past these are St. Anthony and
Minneapolis, Gone on either side of the
riveD where a mighty large amount of
lumber is sawed yearly, the Falls providing
water power for number of mills. These
Falls are at the head of navigation on the
Mississippi, although only small boats
come above St. Paul.
Anoka resembles old Port Deposit,
little, as it lies along the banks of Rum
River, and you will Always see lumber, look
which way you will. The river takes its
name from fight the Indians and early
settlers had on it over keg of fire-water.
This little river, only $50 feet wide, brings
from its pine FORESTS 60 miles above here,
about 1925, 900, 600 feet of logs annually, the
greater portion OF which 60 to St. Anthony
and Minneapolis, although we have several
mills here that manufacture from 100000
to 1000, 900 feet, each. Now is the time
for business in the pineries. By referring
to Harper's Weekly of May 18th, 1870, will
be found splendid lot of views of Min
nesota life in the woods; they are all good.
The weather here is excellent. 1 find
when the thermometer is 15o below Zero
l do not feel near so cold as l have in
Maryland with it at 100 above Zero. The
dry, pure air here is very different to that
you get along the old Susquehanna's banks.
When we get little snow here we have
it to keep for the winter. And think if a
certain lover of sleighing, with three
legged PAGER from Port, could drop here for
one winter, he would get one grand satisfac-
ton of his favorite sport.
Yours, CECIL,
