The French Census.

Owing the destructive, though hap
PLY shOrt-liyed rule of the Commune in
Paris, the publication of the results of
the French census of 1872 has been I'M
avOidably postponed, andisonly justnow
finished. 1t is full of interesting state
ments, and, according to La Patrie,
shows the prosperity of France in 1872
to have been pretty nearly equal to that
of 1866, when France had reached the
highest point of her internal develop
ment. In 1866 the total population of
France amounted to 3S, C67, 06i inlabi-
tants /; in 1872, after the war and the
loss of two provinces, it wa 36, 1O2. 92l.
OF this population, 81, S65, 625 inhabited
cities, ID. 405, $40 lived in the country.
The NUMBER of houses has been reduced
from 7,Sl1,549 in 1866 to 1904, 913 in
1873. OF the 36, 102, 921 inhabitants,
only 13, O00, 900 could neither read nor
write, which, considering the relative
proportion of infants and young chill
dren to the whole population, is a small
average; 3,7S0,O0O could only read :;
all the rest could both read and write.
The Catholic religion claims 30, DOC, 600
of the population. the Reformed Church
$780, COG, and the jewish Church 40, 900.
The 36, 102, 921 inhabitants are divided
into $500, 600 heads of families, 49,
900, 600 members of families, and about
1000, 900 servants. OF these, 5000, 900
heads of families practice agriculture,
and have II, 900, 900 members of families
which shows them to constitute the
most prolific class, and employ 1872
OBS servants. The number Of clergy
men in France amounts to 151, goo; of
vagabonds, 4S9, 900; of insane, SO, 900,
of which 20, 900 are men and 2S, 900 are
women. France harbors 90, 900 male
and $1,000 female idiots ; Is, 900 male
and $4,000 female blind persons and
5000 male and 10000 female deaf and
dumb.
In the way of domestic animals,
France boasts 1000, 900 horses, 299, 900
mules, 451, 900 asses, II, OO0, 900 pairs of

the admiration of all who see the inter

passing IN magnificent elegance any
thing else to be seen in that city. The
parior chairs, sofas, etc, are beauti-
fully carved and finished in gilt, while
the mirrors, cornices and brackets are
made IN keeping with the draperies, and
curtains IN harmony with the rest. The
furniture of the sitting-room is of the
most luxurious style, with bookcases.

up IN various colors of wood, such as
Hungarian ash and mahogany, silver

A Hundred Years AgO.

One hundred and ten years Q there
was not a single white man in what is
10 Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, OF Hi.
nois. Then, what is now the most
Furnishing part of the United States,
was as little known as the country in
the heart of Africa itself. 1t was not
till l766 that Boone left his home in
North Carolina to become the first set
tier In Kentucky. And the first pio-
neers of Ohio did not settle till twenty
years later still. A hundred years ago
Canada belonged to France, and Wash
ingtOn was a modest Virginia Colonel,
and the United States the most loyal
part of the British empire, and scarcely
a speck on the political horizon indi-
Gated the struggle that in a score of
years vas to lay the foundation Of the
greatest republic in the world.
A hundred years ago there were but
four small newspapers in America !;
steam engines had not been imagined,
and locomotives, and steamboats,, and
railroads, and t~elegraphs, and postal
cards and friction matches, and revolv-
ers, and percussion caps, and breech-
loading guns, and stoves and furnaces,
and gas for dwellings, and India rub
Der shoes, and Spaulding's glue, and
sewing machines, and anthracite coal,
and photographs, and chrome paint
ings, and kerosene oil, and the safety
lamp, and the compound blow-pipe,
aid free schools, and spring mattresses,
and wood engraving, and Brussels car
pet, and lever watches, and greenbacks,
and cotton and wooden factories, in any
thing like the present meaning of these
terms, were utterly unknown.
A hundred years ago tine spinning
wheel was in almost every family, and
clothing was spun and woven and made
up in the household, and the printing
press was a cumbrous machine worked
by hand /; and a nail, or a brick, or q
Il razor, or a woven pair of stockings,
or an Ak, or hoe, or shovel, or a lock or
key, or a plate of glass of any size was
not made in what is now the United
States. Even in 1890 there were only
seventy-tive ~postoffices in the country,
and the whole extent of our post routes
was less than 1000 miles. Cheap post
age was unheari of, and had any one
suggested the transmission of messages
with lightning speedhe would have been
thought utterly insane. The microscope,
on one hand, and the telescope on the
other, were in their infancy as instru-
ments of science; and geology and
chemistry were almost unknown. In a
word, it is true hat to the century
passed have been allotted more i'm
Provements, in their bearing OF the
comfort and happiness of mankind,
than to any other which has elapsed
since the creation of the world.
With all these wonderful improve
ments within the century, who would
allow such narrow and contracted views
to object to a suitable Centennial
of the marvellous progress of
the age?-Bahin,Ore american.

Drunkenness q Disease.

DR.: Congdon. Superintendent of the
New York State Inebriate Asylum, treats
drunkenness as a disease. He says that
IN the incipiency of intemperance men
are free moral agents, morally account
able, but a stage is reached in which
the conscience and will power are rem
dered :ractive-the tissues of the brain
become so thoroughly diseased that il
ceases to perform its functions. After
the physician has brought the patient
out of the first paroxysm Of the disease,
physical reconstruction gees on, and as
the bodily strength increases, the facul-
ties approach their normal condition,
aud conscience and will begin to assume
control The majority of the patients
are professional men, including lawyers,
physicians and clergymen.

Gross Earnin1s Valua,io,

The Executive Council having over
looked the provision of law which re.
quires the officers of the railway COM
panies to make a sworn statement of
the value of their various kinds of prop
erty, the valuation had to be based en-
tlrely, or nearly SO, upon gross earnings.
The valuation in the aggregate, and of
nearly all the lines individually, is some
what increased over that of last year.
Thus, the Burlington and Missouri river
railroad, walked last year at 80, 500 per
mile, Is this year increased to 10, 800 per
mile-a little owe 10 per cent. The
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, which
was assessed last year at SO, 500 per mile
Is this year raised to $40, 300 per mile
an increase of Upper cent. The Chicago
and Northwestern, assessed last year
Mt $1,000 per mile. is increased this wear
to $4,000 per mile-equivalent to 81
per cent. The Burlington, Ceder
Rapids and Minnesota is assessed at
$500 per mile, the same as last wear.
The minor roads are several of them in
creased 20 per cent. The entire in
crease OF taxes from this increased valu-
alton will probably reach $40, 600, or
$50, OO0.-Burtington Haurk- Eye.

DIR. WALKER tried various extracts
from herbs and roots, without benefit.
He noticed, however, that Aicohok, that
bane OF the human race, was used in
their preparation, and he determined to
exclude the poison entirely from his own
practice, so that the sin Of making men
drunkards. while pretending to cure
them, should never lie at his door. The
Almighty blessed his experiments, and
in the VINEGAR BrrTERs he has produced
a pure, health-restoring agent, which
banishes disease in every form, REIN
yigorates the system, and restores
strength to the feeblest sufferer. There
is no past Of life's citadel where the
enemy can make a Judgment, that the
VINEGAR Buffers Will not find him and
put him to the rout. Lmpurity Of blood
