Population of the United States.

The first census of the country was
taken in 1870, and decennial censuses
have been taken ever since. An estimate
has been made TOR the ten years previous
to 1860 from the data of years 1870, 1900,
1910, and 1920. An examination of
these years exhibited successfully by
subtraction two second differences that
were nearly equal, so much so as to in
dictate in general, as the law OF their
progression, approximately, constant
second differences. From the average
of these second differences, treated AK
second difference for completing the
series, the population for the year 1880
was estimated ut 3, 1910, 900.
On examination of the population
enumerated for the four decades 1880,
1910, 1850 and 1860, it appears that the
first differences are almost in arithmeti-
cal progression, the second differences
being nearly constant and almost identi-
cal. From 1870 to 1920 the second diff
ferences were nearly constant, and from
1850 to 1860 they were nearly constant /;
but the second differences of the latter
group showed marked increase over
the former. Assuming the approximate
constancy In the latter group to con-
tinue, we find, by taking the average of
these differences, what the population
would have been in 1870 and 1880 had
there been no war. We find that the
population in 1870, which actually was
3S,55S, 006, would have been Al, us, 900,
a loss of more than 5000, 900. Continu-
ing under the same law, the population
in 1880 would have been 54,017, 900 I;
but making the same allowance of de-
ticiency, we obtain for 1880 popula-
ton of 50,S5S,000. Having now each
decennial period, it remains to interpo-
late values in harmony by years in each
decade. This was accomplished by an
easily explained process on the assump-
ton of second differences as before. The
following are the results

A MAN in Salem, Mass, has pair of
canary birds that seem to believe in
large families. The record of this pair
for 1874 shows well thus far. On the
Goth of January the mother bird COM
menced to lay eggs, and in four days
she had four eggs in the nest none OF
them were productive. On the Odd OF
February she commenced laying, an
other four, which were not Matched.
On the 25th of March she laid the first
egg of third four, two of which pro-
duced little birds, which only lived a
few days. On the 9th of April she be-
gan nest of five eggs, four of which
became birds. On the Goth of May she
laid the first of six more eggs, and five
of them were Matched. On the 10Th of
July she began again, and laid an egg
daily for six days, and on these she is
still sitting. Thus there is total OF
thirty-four eggs, fifteen offspring, thlr-
teen living and seven of them singers,
and six eggs to be heard from.

children of DIR. Beecher's first wife,
Roxana Foote, while Isabella Mrs.

were children of the second wife, Har-

third wife, Mrs. jackson, who left no

his youngest child. Neither Thomas
