A Vision of. 1900.

Can any one realize the exceeding
ly probable fact that in l900-only
twmty-nine years from now-the
population of the United States win
number 75, ,000, 900 of citizens? Yet,
says a contemporary, Mr.. Samuel
f. Ruggles proves that this will be
the case, without making allowance
for annexations, North and South,
thai will certainly come about, Mr..
Sumner and all others to the con-
trary Notwithstanding Hell shows
the reasons for his prophecy in fig
that ''figures won't lie" is the most
unveracious of proverbs, Mr.. Rug
gles' figures have acquired reputa-
tion OF their own and a good one at
that. For the past thirty or forty
years, he has been figuring about
our internal and domestic COM
merce; and, although he has often
been accused of romancing in fig
ures, the ls'cts have always sustain
ed his predictions. When, there
fore, the ablest, the most experience
ed, and most trustworthy statisti-
clan now living, tells us that we
shall have population of rs, ,000, 900
in 1900, the younger part of the pre-
sent generation may IS well consid-
err what awaits them in their matu-
rity and old age. Seventy-five mil
lions of people in the United States
implies the settlement of the entire
South and West by as dense a po-
pulation as that of Massachusetts,;
the reclamations of the arid wastes
of the great plains by irrigation; the
developments of States as strong
as Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois along
theIRocky mountains; the settlement
of the Utah Basin by four or five
-millions of agricultural and pasto-
rial people; the development of a
tier of agricultural States along our
northern border, from Lake Superb
or to the Pacific, as pOpulous and
prosperous as Missouri and Mime
sofa; the growth of the Pacific States
into commonwealths as rich and po-
pulous as New York and pennsyl-
vania. It means that New York
will cover the whole of Manhatten
Island with a population of at least
two millions, to say nothing of the
outlying suburbs in New Jersey and
across the East river; that Chicago
and st. Louis viii each become as
large cities in fact, as they are now
in their own estimation, and that
San Francisco will have half a mil
lion of inhabitants. Such are the
glowing visions which are excited
by the prosaic and careful figures
of Mr.. Ruggles.

spurgeon Preaching 10 twenty
Thousand Persons.

sAThe London correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says:
81 once heard Mr.. SpurgeOn
preach IN the Crystal Palace to TWEEN
ty thousand persons. Whichever
way you looked you saw a mass of
human beings. His wife sat imme-
diately below his pulpit. She grew
frightened and began to shed tears.
Mr.. Spurgeon observed her, and
calling some one to him, sent, mes
sage asking her to sit where she
could not look at him, and after she
had moved her nervousness passed
away. So little did he exert himself
that / could not believe the people
at the rim of the circle could hear,
but was wrong.
"When the doxology after the
sermon had been sung, the great
Baptist preacher, with the familiari-
ty which seems to be allowed to par
ticuIar men, said: No, no; that will
not do. Not half Of you sung then.
