FACTS AND FIGURES.

See, in another column, the advertise
ment headed II aoiU help any man."
Within less than twenty years 100
daily journals have had an existence in
New York, and 100 of the number are
dead, at loss of over .$25 100000
Surprising flea to weigh one grain
it really weighs a trif1e less-and to
jump yard and a half; a man of 15C
pounds weight, with jumping powers in
proportion, would readily leap 12,5O(
miles, or from New York to Canton
China.
A statement prepared at the Treasury
Department shows that for the nine
months ending March 81, 1878, the re
celpts from customs were $147, 223, 07e.90
During the same period ending March 81
1872, the receipts from the same source
were $166, TAT ,466.6S, showing that under
the new tariff law the reduction in taxa
ton was 1854, 3s7.78.
The price of an acre of the most valu.
able uncovered land in the city of London
after the Great Fire in 1860 was e30, 000
or about one-third of the value when built
upon. At the present time the highest
rate for such unbuilt land may be taken
at 81 100000 an acre, and such value coz
stitutes fully three-fourths of the value OF
the property after it has buildings upon it.
The decade from 1860 to 1870 shows
an increase in the number of rolling mills
in the United States, of flfty-four Git was
256 in 1850 and $40 in 1S7O) and an in
crease in the production from $31 1888, 705
in 1860, to $12O,311,159 in 1870. So it
will be seen that while the increase in the
number of mills has not been remarkably
IN, no, hoe
been simply enormous.
The Sacramento (Cal) Record gives
the figures of railroad immigration into
that State for four years, at 124 SIS; the
emigration for the same period, 82,967,
giving the increase of population by rail
Al ,84S, or about 1000 per annum. The
value per capita is estimated at $500, and
the aggregate fixed at $16,000,000. To
which raises the total value of overland
communication to the handsome figure of
$50, 100000.
Statistics show that the amount of
foreign rice consumed in this country has
fallen from $4,000, 900 pounds, in 1864, to
$4,000 pounds in 1870. Adding the do
mestic product to the latter figures, we
find the total consumption to be a little
less than 1O0OOO,0O0 pounds The domes
tic crop is estimated at about 100000
pounds, and the domestic export at less
than 3,O00,0 900 pounds. Down to 1861, or
at the time the war broke out, the United
States was large exporter of rice, the
amount varying from'43, 100000 to $1,000
900 pounds per annum during the ten
years immediately preceding. 1t is now
believed that Louisiana will take the lead
in rice-culture, as it is rapidly extending
there, but eventually Florida will be the
greatest rice growing region in the world,
the swamps and lowlands of the State
being peculiarly adapted to the culture.

The Beecher Scandal.

New. YORK, May 80.
The custodian of the covenant entered
into April 2, 1872, by Henry Ward Beech
er, Theodore Tilton, and Henry G..
Bowen, makes that instrument public this
morning, assigning as a reason therefor
the fact that Bowen has Of late repeated
ly declared that he had never disavowed
his charges against Mr.. Beecher, but that
he yet insisted upon their truth The
covenant to which is attached the sigma
lures of the above-named is as follows:
We three men, earnestly desiring to restore
each to the other the respect, Yove and frater-
nifty in which we once lived happily together in
our social life in Brooklyn, and as members of
the Plymouth Church. and earnestly desiring
to remove all causes of offense existing, both
real and fancied; to make Christian reparation
for injuries done or supposed to be done, and
to efface the disturbed past and to provide con-
cord, good will and love for the future do
declare and covenant each to the other as
follows:
/. I, Henry G. Bowen, having given credit,
perhaps without due consideration, to tales and
innuendoes respecting Henry Ward Beecher,
and being influenced by them, as was natural
to man who receives impressions suddenly, to
the extent of repeating them-guardedly, how
ever, and within limitations and not for the
purpose of injuring him, but strictly in the
therein did him wrong. Therefore, disavow
all the charges and imputations that have been
attributed to me as having been by me made
against H. W. Beecher, and / declare fully ard
without reserve that know nothing which
should prevent me from extending to him my
most cordial friendship and Christian fellow
ship, and expressly withdraw all the charges,
imputations and innuendoes imputed as having
been uttered by me, and set forth in letter
written to me by Theodore Tilton, on the first
day of January, 1871 a copy of which letter is
hereunto annexed, and | sincerely regret hay-
ing made any imputations charges, or innuen-.
does unfavorable to the Christian character OF
Mr.. Beecher, and 1 covenant and promise that
for all future time, will never, by word OF
deed, recur to, repeat, or alude to any or either
of said charges, imputations, or innuendoes
2. And /, Theodore Tilton, do of my free
will and friendly spirit toward Henry c. Bowen
and Henry Ward Beecher, herewith covenan,
and agree that will never again repeat, by
word Of mouth or otherwise, any of the allega
tons or imputations or innuendoes contained in

EDITORIAL NOTICES are SO common that it
is almost impossible for an editor to express
his honest opinion of the merits of any article
without being suspected of interested motives.
ibis TACT, however, shall not deter us from
saying what we think of new addition to the
Materla Medica to which our attention has been
recently directed. We refer to DR. J. WALKERS
CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BrTTERs, remedy
which is making its way into more families
just now than all the other advertised medi-
cines put together. Its popularity, so far as
we can Judge, is not based ON empty preten-
sion. There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and alternative proper
ties, while 1t possesses the great negative rec
concentrations Of containing neither alcohol
nor mineral poison. That it is specific for
Indigestion, Biliousness Constipation, and
many complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know; and we are assured on good
authority that as general invigorant, regu-
lating and purifying medicine, it has no equal
It is stated that it's Ingredients obtained from
the .Wilds of California; are new to the medical
world; and it's extraordinary effects certainly
warrant the conclusion that it is a compound
of agents hitherto unknown. If popularity is
any criterion, there can be no doubt of the
efficiency of the VINEGAR BTrTERs, for the sale
Of the article is immense and continually in
creasing.

THE mailing Of honey bees having been
forbidden by the Assistant-P Postmaster
General an appeal for reversal of the de-
cision has been made to the head of the
department by General Butler, in behalf
of the Massachusetts man, his client, who
has invented for the purpose trap made
Of wood and wire netting. The objection
to receiving the continuance is, that the
other mail matter is damaged by the honey
which oozes from it. and that too inquisi-
tive clerks are stung by the escaping bees.

The richest of us is poor indeed. The summer,
pleasant and enjoyable it is is very apt to lay us
open to this kind of depreciation. The high tenn
perature weakens the body and impairs it's vitality
and as the strength and energy of the system de-
cline disease following in the trail of debility OBJ
tains foothold somewhere in the frame, in the
stomach, perhaps or the liver, or the head or the
bowels, or the nerves. In summer, therefore it is
of great Importance to keep the body strong, and
all it's functions in healthy activity To promote,
or rather to insure this condition Of the human ma
chine Hostetter's Stomach Btters, the standard
tonic of the age, is the one thing needful. AS a
wholesome invigorant it stands at the head of all
medicines of the class to which it belongs. But
this is only one of it's many valuable properties.
It's mild and painless cathartc action, its anti-bous
properties, and the certainty with which it elimi-
mates from the blood and other animal fluids all
acrd matter that tends to produce foster disease,
almost entitle this wonderful preventive and cura-
tive, to the much abused appellation, universal
medicine 1t is so harmless that the most delicate
female invalid may take it with safety, yet so power
full that no form of bilious disease, phase of in
digestion, no case of chronic constipation no type
of intermittent fever resist its sanitary opera
ton.

FROM reports made to the late Mime
sofa Bee Keepers Convention, it appears
that nearly three-fourths of the bees in the
State were lost last winter, mainly from
want OF proper care and protection. Warm,
dry and properly-ventilated rooms are
necessary for their safe keeping.
