Curious Statistics of Marriage.

To people of statistical rather than of
sentimental turn, the mathematics of
marriage in different countries may
prove an attractive theme of meditation.
1t is found that young men from fifteen
to twenty years of age marry young
women averaging two OF three years old
er than themselves, but if they delay
marriage until they are twenty or twenty
five years old, their spouses average a
year younger than themselves; and
thenceforward this difference steadily in
creases till in extreme old age on the
bridgroom's part it is apt to be enormous.
The inclination of octogenarians to wed
misses in their teens is an everyday oc-
currence, but it is amusing to find in the
love matches of boys that the statistics
bear out the satires of Thackeray and
Balzac. Again, the husbands of young
women aged twenty and under average
little above twenty five years, and the
inequality of age diminishes thencefor-
ward, till for women who have reached
thirty their respective ages are equal;
after thirty-fve years, women, like men,
marry those younger than themselves,
the disproportion Increasing with age,
till at fifty-fve it averages nine years.
The greatest number of marriages for
men take place between the ages of TWEEN.
| ty and twenty-f five in England, between
twenty-five and thirty in France, and be-
tween twenty-five and thirty five in Italy
and Belgium. Finally, in Hungary, the
number of individuals who marry is 72
in thousand each year; in England it is
"a; in Denmark, SO; in France, 81, the
city of Paris showing So; in the Neither
lands, So; in Belgium, 43; in Norway, So
Widowers indulge in second marriages
three or four times as often as widows.
For example, in England Qand of Mrs
BardelD there are go marriages of widow
ers against 81 of widows; in Belgium
there are 4S to 16; in France, 40 to 12

account" Mr.. Ames stated further
that scofeld, Dawes and Logan went out
after the dividend Of sixty per cent. Wit
ness said that Mr.. Allison sent his stock
back, and said he would have nothing more
to do with 1t, and he (Ames) supposed the
stock being returned to him by Allison was
q real transaction, and not q nominal one.
In regard to his conversations with Mr..
Garfield, Mr.. Ames said he (Garfeld) had
wanted the witness to say as little as he
could before the,Committee that he (Garfeld)
might get of as easy as he could. Mr..
Ames produced memorandum upon which
were the following figures: 80, ,00o;" 'S1,-
ooo;" 800" Total, s2,4oo;" and
Garfield. The first 81 900 referred to the
Union Pacific bonds; the second, to the
Credit-Mobilier stock; and the 800, to some
thing else, he could not remember what
These figures referred to what Mr.. Garfield
was entitled 20.
Mr.. Ames further testified as to Mr.. Kel-
ley that he (Kelley) had called the trsnsac-
ton a loan, aud said he wanted to pay It;
that Kelley gave him 9 check, which he
(Ames) tore in half and handed back to Kel-
ley, and both appeared satisfied with the
transaction. Witness testified: 81 did not

tuC COtu, nun. cOuu Dcalty, On1O, bcell-
fed that he had conversation with Steven
son on the day before that gentleman intro
duced the resolution of inquiry in reference
to the Sioux City Road In the House. Steven
son then said that Ames told him that Speak
er Blaine was interested In the Dubuque &
Sioux City Road. After the resolu-
ton had passed, Ames came and asked the
witness who put Stevenson up to that.
Ames said Mr.. Stevenson was on the wrong
track. Witness heard no conversation be-
tween Ames and Stevenson.
Mr.. Stevenson stated that after he intro
duced the resolution, Ames did talk to him
more fully and freely than before. He and
Ames had had frequent conversations, dur
ing which he gathered the information on
which he had based the resolution
Alley testified that Congress had nothing
to do with the Sioux City & Iowa Falls Rail-
road land grant given to the road. 1t was
donated to the State Of Iowa by Congress,
and the State gave 1t to the road. The road
was chartered by the State. The witness
was interested in the Sioux City & Pacific
Railroad; also in the Cedar Rapids Road, but
in none of them until after he left Congress.
James T. Wilson testified that Oakes
Ames, Alley, and some other members OF
Congress, were stockholders In the Iowa
Falls & Sioux City Road; had no knowledge
of Blaine or Hooper being interested; wit
ness was interested in the road; he acted, as
he believed, in accordance with the true pub
lie policy Of the State at that time.

THE OLD WORLD.

The rinderpest has broken out in shang-
hae, China.
Cable dispatches of the 9th announce
that Russia had sent an army across the bor-
ders of her possessions in Asia into Turkes-
tan, to punish tie Khan of Khiva, the ruler
OF that country, for having sold Russian
subjects into slavery. England protested,
suspecting Russia's designs, and it was
feared that the controversy would result in
war between Russia and England.
The indignation excited by what was
thought to be the heartless conduct of the
steamer that ran down the Northfeet, the
other day, in the English Channel, is giving
way to quite different feeling. 1t was be-
lieved, on the 27th, that the steamer itseli
sank, with all on board, Immediately after
the collision.

"A writer in the Kansas Magazine has
been at the trouble of measuring quad
ruple sheet of a New York paper, and
states, among other things of which few
newspaper readers are aware, that the
number he has measured contains $50,
600 ems, ;" while Mark Twain's new book,
an octave of 591 pages, contains only
s36, 600 ems, and that this one copy of the
paper would make an octave containing
so pages more than Twain's book. Mr.
Wilder adds that "the price of the book
is So so, of the paper four cents;" and for
the further enlightenment of people who
do not appreciate big newspapers and
who may not be familiar with Twain's
books, says, three copies of this quad
ruple sheet would contain fourth more
matter than the common English Bible,

He was probably urged 10 this, by considering
