The extent to which opium is used in

The extent to which opium is used in
this country is not realized by unsus-
pecting persons. While our population
increased from 1S40 to 1865 as 210 10 100,
the increase in amount Of opium import
ed for the same period was as $50 to 100.
One-iifth of the opium sold by retail drug
stores is for medical prescriptions prop
er, the balance being used to indulge the
narcotic cravings OF appetite, as liquors
are used to excite or stupefy. 3l5, III
pounds of opium were imported inio the
United States during the year ending
June 80, 1871, valued al S1,926.915. The
amount imported increases yearly, and
the deyotees of the poisonous drug in
crease proportionately. The injury being
done by lis use is incalculable; ali
classes use it, thousands OF its victims
being unsupported.

An old gentleman named March died

An old gentleman named March died
recently in Charlestown, who was a
most eccentric genius. Though pos
sessed of some wealth, he had but one
pleasure-that of theater-goin G. Fs
would economic in everything else, but
always treated himself to a sight of ey-
cry new play or actor, good or bad. He
left no heirs and few relatives, and his
property was disposed of in several sim
gular ways. The principal item of his
will provided Tor the investment OF
sum sufficient to realize $500 per year
clear, which was to be expended in the
ater tickets, to be given away to poor,
respectable people, not over 81 each to
be paid fer the tickets. The trustees
under the will are otherwise given full
authority in the carrying out OF this pro-
vision, and one day last week met to
perform the first act under it, spending
the whole sum allowed. They selected
four theaters, and furnished 125 tickets
to each house for any performance de-
sired by the persons receiving them.

ALLY DAVIS, one of the street-walkers
sentenced in the Police Court this morn
ing to thirty days in the Work-nouse, on

Courtroom to the cells below, made a
desperate jump over the railing of the

not known. She bewails her futile at

The Chicago Tribunesays: The theat-
rical profession is kept very busy in dis
cussing in whispers, and with adJura-
tlons not to breathe word OF it to any
body else, depIorable difficulty which
has occurred between two most excel
lent people-Mr. Tracy Titus and his
wife, known to the public by her stage
name, MRS. James A. Oates. However
much the whisperers may tell OF the mat
ter, il is certain they know very Little.
Mr.. Titus is grieved and crest-fallen,
and Mrs. Oates is minatory and defiant.
They were playing in California, three
weeks ago, with large company,
when the difficulty occurred. They
have lived so tremendously together that
the separation, when it became known,
was regarded as a mere temporary al
fair, a sort OF dmdntiaR irg, to be speedl-
Iy followed by "a renewing of mutual en-
dearments. But the matter was more
serious. Mrs. Oates lett her husband.
and their joint capital, which had al
ways been banked in his name, was
drawn by her and deposited in hers, and
Tracy Titus WAS left TO shift for himself.
The company knowing upon which side
OF their bread the butter was Wont to be
spread, obeyed orders, and are still play
ing with Mrs. Oates. Titus is said to
have set to work to reorganize com.
pany of his own, but so far, without sue.

A Little Rock, Arkansas, paper tells
the following regarding James Brown,
the murderer of W. j. Murphy and Til
lar, near Fulton: From passengers
below, yesterday, we learn that the
whole country turned out in pursuit of
the desperado, and every attempt was
made to effect his capture. The villain
took to water like duck, land for hours
concealed himself in Red river and the
bayous with which the country abounds.
He was pursued from water to cane
brake and from canebrake TO
forest, and proved himself fearless
swimmer, as feet Of IL OF as deer, and
a dead shot. On Saturday Colonel Dud-
ley, of Texarkana, sent special train
with posse of men, headed by Judge
Bancroft, to Fulton, who took to The
brake south of Red river. Soon more
men arrived by another train from Tex
arkana, and large squads OF farmers and
planters secured the woods and swamps.
At last they had him surrounded, and
the men closed in, but only to find the
bird had flown. He was soon afterward
discovered in the river beside log,
swimming rapidly with the current. His
deadly snot gun he held above the log.
Volley after volley wajstired at the man,
but he bore charmed life. Finally the
shots came SO thick and fast that he
| landed the north SIDE OF the river, ana
with wave of his hand bid defiance to
| his would-be captors. Arriving at the
| top of the bluff he met small squad of
negroes, who opened fire on him, which
he returned with accuracy, as one OF the
men tell badly wounded. At farm
house some distance down the river he
exchanged his shot gun for hat ana
coat. Nothing further could be learned
of his movements after leaving the house.
| The woodwork of the gun bore tue in
dentations OF dozen bullets. The muir
derer is but slightly known in the local
| ity of his numerous crimes, generally
being called Brown. sometimes McCar-
tina. He is described as very tall,
broad shouldered, with reddish hair and
beard, and moustache closely cut. Ill
lar, the murdered pursuer, was a resi-
dent of TeXarkana, a weilkneWn and u
| brave man. The people are reported to
have given up the chase, the posse from
TeXarkana returning ON sunday night.

Empire would rarely exceed 100,0o0,0O0
OF souls. Father David says that the
population can not be put down at less
than e,OO0,0 600. That figure is arrived
at in this way: In the least populous
province of China, viz: Kiang-Si, there is
an average Of 1000 inhabitants per dis
trict; as Kiang-Si contains no less than
4, ,345 districts, the total for that province
reaches 17,3S0,0o0 souls. AS there are,
in the Chinese Empire, 1S such pro-
vinces, many of which are larger and
more densely inhabited than Kiang-si,
the total number for the Whole OF the
country can not be under 100000, 900.
The reverend gentleman says that the
writers who estimated the population OF
China at so low figure as 1G0,0 00O
must have based their calculations on
the state of some Of those districts where
civil war and famine have worked such
trightiul havoc, and carried Off from a
half TO tour-tifths OF the population.
