DEBTS OF THE NATIONS.

Mr.. r. Dudley Baxter sends to the Lon
don Times a comprehensive view OF the
national debts of the civilized world,
which contains some interesting facts. Of
the fifty-two States and principal colonies
concerning which he made investigation
only Servia, Bolivia and Liberia are free
from debt. These fifty-two States contain
an aggregate population of more than six
hundred million, and the aggregate of
national debts amounted in 1870 to thirty
nine hundred million pounds sterling,
with annual interest of one hundred fifty
seven million pounds In 1893 the total
of national debts was less than five hun
dred millions sterling Great Britain ow-
ing e270, 900, 900, and all the continent OF
Europe only 920S, 100000 more. The
United States then owed e15,O00,-
900, or seventy-fve million dollars.
Before 1920 Great Britain had in
creased its debt to more than double the
whole amount owed by all the States OF the
world in 1898; her debt after the great
continental war was e9o2, 100000, while
the aggregate of all nations was only
st53O 100000. The year 184S showed
an increase of two hundred millions ster-
ling in the aggregate, although Great Bri-
tain had slightly diminished her own debt,
and now owed rather less than one-hali
the whole. The debt of America at that
time was set down at al14,O00,00O, or
$3.50 ,O0O, 900. 1t is clear that the word
America is made to include all the govern
mepts of North and South America, both
in this and the succeeding statement, as IN
1s49, after the Mexican war, our debt was
but $e4, 900, 900, and at no time reached
one hundred million dollars until after the
outbreak of the rebellion. The statement
of debts as they stood at the downfall o'
the French Empire is as follows

The Penitentiary Not to be Remored.-
The question of the removal of the State pens
itentiary from its present site, recommended
by special commission appointed by Governor
Walker, has given rise to a most animated dis
cussion. Numerous sites for its location, in
the event of removal, have been recommended
and their merits set forth by the parties owning
them, and such influential friends as they could
enlist in their behalf. The joint committee OF
the General Assembly, to which was referred
this matter, has met time and again and con-
sidered sthe claims of these rival localities
A sub committee was finally appointed,
which reported in favor of Mr.. Benson's farm,
just across the river, on the Chesterfield side,
which, without doubt, possessed great advan.
tages. 1t was thought by many that the joint
committee would ultimately concur with the
subcommittee and report in favor of this site.
The committee, however, met Saturday after.
noon, and after further consideration of the
subject, finally determined that 1t is inexpe-
dient at this time to remove the penitentiary
at all, and agreed to recommend the General
Assembly to appropriate the sum of 500, 600
to increase the capacity of the present institu-
tiOn.

the debts of Canada. Mexico, Brazil, and

tinents. Assuming it, with the rest Of the
table. to be correct, the United States,
then, owing e47O, 100000, stands respon-

Ladies' Head Gear.-If the ladies per-
sist in wearing such high hats at lectures and

soon have to be applied to them. A few eve

of Theodore Thomas concert), the owner Of
il being in direct line between us and the mu-
sicians. For the life of US we failed to secure
more than momentary glimpses Of the stage
To look over the top of this tower Of jute, vel
vet, feathers, flowers and ribbons was simply
an impossibility without ri.ing to our feet
We might have accomplished our object by
looking around it, but here again we were de-
feated, for the fair wearer wouldn't sit STILL
She tossed her head gracefully from side to
side, and of course kept the feathers, flowers
and ribbons dangling and bobbng around in a
very pretty, but to us, most annoying style.
Now, under these circumstances, what is to be
done2 Ladies' head-gear is rising higher and
higher with each passing day, and unless there
is change in style soon, fashionable wo-
mans hair and bonnet will rival in length those
monstrous bear skin caps worn by gentlemen
who precede military bands waving huge gilt
wand majestically.
