England's marriage statistics
have been analysed to show the
probabilities of marriage for wo-
men at different ages. Surprising
the sum of a woman's changes of
marriage to be one hundred, she
exhausts between the ages of fif-
teen and twenty years, fourteen
and q half chances. If she lives
unmarried from twenty to twenty
five, fifty-two more of her chances
have vanished into thin air. If she
remains unmarried for five more
years, she will turn thirty with on
ly fifteen and half chances out of
her hundred left. After thirty-five
she has eleven and q half chances,
and at this point the statistician
gave mp his calculation, except
that he assures US that even after
q woman has lived unmarried six
ty years she still has the tenth of
chance of getting married out of
the hundred with which she is snip
posed to have started life.

Hundred Destitute eE0milieH--Appea1
for Relief.
DEs MONIES, Ia., Jan. S.-The Committee ap-
pointed by the State Grange to Investigate the
condition Of the Northwestern homeBteaders
have made report OF their doings. They say
that they visited the Counties Of Osceola, Lyon,
O'Brien, and Sioux. They found tho
destitutiou in the district above
named to be OF general and serious nature,
and notwithstanding all that has been done
through the praiseworthy efforts OF Gen. N. B.
Baker, and others. they estimate that at least 500
families in that portion Of the Stnte are totally
destitute OF the means Of obtaining food and
clothing, while many more will need some as
sistance before they can sustain themselves.
The Committee will, in q circular to the
Oranges throughout the State, call for con-
tributions OF food, clothing, fuel and seed,
and for appropriations Of money from the
Oranges and others for the relief Of these peo-
pie. The Committee, for want Of time, have
not yet visited the counties east Of those above
named, but from Representations made to them
they believe that, to q considerable extent, the
same is true Of at least portion of them. This
condition OF things is not attributable to any
lack of industry on the part Of the settlers, but
is tho result Of causes entirely beyond their con-
troll, and which no human foresight could have
neutrality-suspicious., unfayorable weather, etc.

The Indians of this country viii never call

plan Of limiting the boundary to the 9sth merld-
inn ueets with general favor among tho 1ntesli-
gent class of people. They would leave the terri
tory west of that line exclusively for tho use OF the
less-civilizod tribes. The old men say they want
to locate their lands for their children, with
tho proposed plan Of making these lands
unobtainable for a period OF ~ years.
They say their children will be the richest peo~
pie on earth. II vote could be taken amon:
those capable Of Intelligent and unprejudieed

sition to the plan Of q restricted limit to terri
tory q Territorial organization, citizenship IN the
United States, and allotment of their lands,
with tue remainder to be sold for their use,
tho establishment Of schools, and improvement
of farms. Until the country understands
that 8 policy for civilized and wild Indians will
not suit both, the Indian question will not reach
= proper solution. Heretofore the worst phase
Of our civilization has been presented to our peo-
ple in the thousands Of worthless and depraVed
white men who dee to this Territory for refuge,
and finally marry our women and then turn
m amongst the loudest in talking about
Indian wrongs, and for tho exclusion OF white
men from the Territory. These are the men
that tell us that We are not prepared for white
civilization. and il We al1 believed them, We
should think we wero not prepared for their kind
OF civilization, at least.
