The 10Th Of May. 1870, was distinguished
by the phenomenon of a remai kab dark
ness all over the Northern States, aud is
often referred to AZ 1.-THE dark day. AT

was in session at Hartford. A very general

Ninety-nine years ago Thomas Jefferson
sitting in little room in the second story
of house within three doors of the Times
Office, wrote the Declaration of Independ
ence. The house is still standing, little
changed since that memorable summer of
that most immemorial year in which it had
for its guest the illustrious patriot, but
tradespeople are it's occupants now, and the
throng who daily pass by are forgetful of
its fame. But we can imagine, as we look
down upon its shingled roof and dormer
windows that tie old manse of liberty must
grow young again at such time as this,
and it's grave guest come back again TO his
his deliberations. But the day passed and
the night fell, AID the darkness closed in
upon the spot as we looked, and if celebra-
ton this sacred precinct had it was a secret
between the dead.-Philadelphia Times,

Geman statisticians have recently brought
out some interesting figures as to the popula-
ton of the world. These new researches
set down the pre- sent number Thirteen hun
dred and ninety one millions and thirty
thousand, a total calculated to cultivate
humility in each separate unit of that
mighty number. Victoria sways her
mighty sceptre over three hundred million.
India has the same number. China less
South America has wasted and worn away
her people by civil wars, and soma of her
States. notably Paraguay, show an alarm
ing falling off of three hundred aud thirty
seven thousand. Carrying forward the
calculations to the future, it is estimated
that in the year 1000, only one bun
dred and twenty-five years from this time,
the United States will have population of
one hundred and forty six millions The
intervening period will have been ridged by |
half a score of money panics, in which our
present unpleasantness win look like sim
gle furrow in plowed field. One feature J
of to-day will assurediy follow humanity /
into that future in all lands and countries-.l
