A new census of population has just been
taken in Paris, and its result shows most
shockingly the effect Of the two wars and the
two terrible sleges which the city has under
gone While the population of London, Ber-
lin, Vienna and other great capitals has largely
Increased of late years, that of Paris has actu-
ally diminished $500 since 1866, out Of a total
at that time of 100000. What makes this
loss still more striking Is the fact that the In
crease nom 1861 10 1866 was 100000. The six
years elapsIng since 1866 have witnessed not
only the loss of the regular ratio Of Increase,
but an absolute retrograde. Save for Its dou-
BILE calamity OF civil and foreign war, Paris
@ oit nf mn than
two million people. Precisely how much the
republic has lost since 1866 Is probably not yet
known. But the cesslon OF Alsace aud Lor-
ralne represents huge slice taken from the
French population, while the losses In battle
and camp are considerable. Nevertheless,
some parts of France show gains in population
since 1866. Thus, Lyons, which in 1861 had
297,257, and In 1866, 30O,7sl, In ls72-shows
3l6,2s6. Lyons, by the way, has, during the
last half century, trebled its population Ia
growth equal to that of some American cities.
Aside from the evidences otn confidence
reposed In him by the people all over the
country through their representatives, Mr..
Greeley was probably never more happy nor
eDjoyably situated than at the present time,
continually surrounded by circles of warm
friends, which his genial soul delights 10. He
gets down to his headquarters frequently be-
fore his more sluggish co.vorkers are up, and,
by his country habit of rising, he found him.
self, the uther morning, as he wandered down
to the Glenham headquarters, a little after
seven o'clock, good way ahead of anybody
else, and'an opportunity was afforded TO read
some of his numerous letters before the army
Of hand.shakers began to come In. The har-
mony and good feeling of that occasion have
been narrated, and the old Abolltlonists con-
fessed that the Southern chivalry were not
such bad fellows as they had been led to be-
lieve. 1t is reported that number of young
Democrats of the Southern States, proposing
to form Greeley club In military style, have
applied to Theodore Tilton for name, saying
that they had thought OF calling themselves
the "Ida Greeley Grays." The young lady
was somewhat startled as the idea of Ventur-
ing 80 prominently into the canvass was
broached, but surrendered at discretion, and
will undoubtedly make a good Joan in the con-
test for reform.
The tickle should learn lesson from the
experience of Mr.. Henry Lindsay, rich and
arlstocrstic Irish gentleman, who has just
passed through a trial for breach of promise
at Dublin, and narrowly escaped being mulct-
ed heavily. He became infatuated some time
ago with Miss Garvis, milllner, and be-
came engaged to her despite the frantic ap-
peals of his proud kinsfolk. He eventually
repented of his decision, however, and in 1866
suffered at Law to the amount of five hundred
pounds, as sequence to suit for breach of
promise. Incredible as 1t may SEEM, he sub.
sequently renewed his attentions, became re-
engaged, and not many months ago again
Tilted the long-suferlng damsel. Damages
this time were laid at two thousand pounds by
system OF arithmetlcal progression which
changeable swalns will do we'll to bear in
mind. Some of the Testimony at the trial was
extremely unfaVorable to Mr.. Lindaay. He
was proved to have been daily visitor at
Miss GarVis's house, to have taken an interest
In her education, advising her to read Scott
and 'pollsh up her French" and to have even
given her large sum Of money where With to
purchase a trousseau. AS he withdrew his
attentions Immediately after this event. all
