PROPORTION OF THE SExEs.-On-
ly the United States, Belgium and
Italy have they more men than wo.
wen This is attributed to the wear
and tear of hard work, which kills off
SO p.any of the fair sex of these coun-
tries. According to the census of
Dee q, 1871, Italy had population
of 26,s0l, 154, yielding percentage
of 5o,27 men and 1918 women, IS
per cent of old maids and bachelors,
36 per cent. of married couples, and
8 per cent of the widowed, of whom
the widows more than double the Wild
overs. In France there is relatively
he smallest number of births, though
cid persons are preserved longer than
IN other countries, % per cent. OF its
inhabitants being over fifty years, and
seven per thousand upwards Of eighty.
In the United States there are only l6
per cent. upwards of fifty. while the
young OF both sexes 'only reaching 20
constitute so per cent. Of the entire
population.

Thur[ow Weed is out with a letter

between this country and Eng land.
On two occasions Her Majesty dis
eountenanced suggestions from the
French Government which meant war.
Napoleon reasoned narrowly that, when
the french people We're out oil employ

to furnish them with bread; that cot

France, and that for this reason the

Lord Byron in some conspicuous place
10 that city. Disraeli presided, and
speeches in favor of the project were
made by the Earl of Malmesbury
E4rl Stanhope and Mr. G. A. Sala.
General Wilson stated on behalf of
the Americans that they claimed a
share in Byron aud a right to contrib

his countrymen would gladly furnish
at least quarter of the SIC. 600 which
1t was estimated the statue would cost.

EUROPEAN Crops AND Prices
The Mara Lane Express, in its weekly
review, says crops have been progress
ing favorably and reports to this effect
have produced quiet feeling in the
London market, where prices had be
gan to advance, but there has been a
further improvement in the country,
prices in many places being from l to
3 shilllngs dearer for wheat, and as the
idea OF having crop equal to last
years is given up and stocks decreasing.
there is plenty Of rcom for further
rise. In France the damage to crops
from floods has been very extensive in
the provinces, and the figures show a
rise in wheas from l to 2 shillings.

National Grange at Washington. on Sat
urlay, 30 Inst. there was considerable
diversity of opinion on the subject OF the
location of headquarters of the National
Grange. and no conclusion was reached.
Louisville, Nashville. Indianapolis. and
Cincinnati have offered special induce
inents, including reut for buildings for
headquarters but the committee are not
inclined to take into consideration any
financial Inducements. since their desire
is to centrally locate the headquarters.
II was proposed by Cincinnatians. in or

mittcc promptly informed them
