.. THE REPUBLICS.
The most populous of Republics is the
United States of America, which by the
last census had 3S,55S.37l inhabitants.
Speaking with equal eYactitude, we can
say that the next important republic
that of France-has precisely 81, 472, 1872
inhabitants, and that of spain l6, $50, ,sl3.
Mexico boasts of 1865, 100. and Switzer-

The Sultan of Turkey claims 80 400, 600,
the Queen of England 20, 307, 1879, and

you were to ask the Lama of Thibet how
many people worshipped him, both as u
monarch and deity. he would say-pro-
yIded he did not cut your head off for
your insolence--30,0 600, 900. In like
manner the illustrious Zung Che, who,
as everybody is aware, is King of Corea,
would respond II, 900 600; Synd Toskes,
more familiarly known MS the Imaum of
Muscat, can only boast of $50, ,000 which

ORIENTAL PoTENTATEs.
The most magnificent specimen Of no.
menclature in the list of sovereigns APP
pertains to the King of Siam, who shows
his good sense by subscribing regularly
to the New York Evening Post and who,
even on that ground alone, is perfectly
justified in calling himself Chau.fa- Chula

cumulative evidence must be accepted as

we call the Tenno the Mikado. ..

Milan is the name of noble city in
Lombardy; but it is also the name of
the Hospodar of Servia, who rules over
9S5,000 persons. There is also Hos

The Imaum of Yemen, of whom we
scarcely ever hear, can claim much more
than this, for he rules over no fewer than
100000 The Emir of Morocco is still
more powerful, ruling over 5000 900 sub.
jects.
