Facts from the Census.

The first volume of the new census con-
tains many curious as well as important
statistics. In looking over the tables the
most striking feature is the number OF ma
tionalities represented in our population.
We have three Greenlanders in the United
States, five negroes born in Sweden, six
born in Russia, 673 whites born in Africa,
and 2, ,63S persons who are without a na-
tive country, having been born at sea.
Five and a half millions of our popula-
ton are of foreign birth. OF these l.
s55, ,s27 are Irish, and are distributed in
the greatest number throughout Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, and in the vicinity
of New York city. The Germans number
/, 800, ,410, and are most numerous in New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri. The
English number 550,904, and are the
most numerously located in and
about New York, Philadelphia, Bos-
ton, and in the vicinity of Providence
r. l. They are also found in
considerable numbers in Rochester, Gin
cinnati, Chicago and Milwaukee, and in
the coal regions of Pennsylvania The
Welsh number IA, 533, and the Swedes
and Norwegians, 211, ,574. The two latter
reside largely in Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Illinois, and are very numerous in
anu OulCdRO. dIC toO,C
persons enumerated as born in British
America, and these residents are natural
ly found in largest numbers near the
Canadian line, though they are well rep
resented in the larger cities and in the
manufacturing districts of Massachusetts,.
The Chinese, about whom so much ado
has been made, number only 62, GA, and
are mainly confined to the cities and min.
ing districts of California and Nevada.
The French number bat 116.240, the
Spaniards but 8, ,701, and nearly third of
the latter live in the city of New Orleans.
There are IL, 149 Italians and Al ,30S Mex
leans, the latter nearly all residing in
California and Texas.
The total population of the country is
IS, 925, $685. OF these 9, 4S9 ,206 are males
over the age of 81 years; 1856, 923 OF
the entire population are reported as en-
gagged in ''gainful and respectable pur-
suits" Taking into consideration that
the number of persons in the country
above the age of 10 years is 26, 2SS, ,945,
the fact above stated seems strange; but
an examination shows that a large por-
ton of those thus reported are females
under the age of 16. OF males between
| the ages of 16 and SO, of which there are
| 10, 429, ,150, there are 8, ,4S6, 734 reported to
be engaged in some gainful occupation;
while 9S9, ,516 above the age of go are
also properly accounted. for. The rest
are composed of the vicious and idle, the
sick, the studious, and those who have
retired from business. There are in the
