LOUISIANA.

State census Of Louisiana has just been com
pleted. 1t shows An aggregate population of 49,
o39, against 726,9l5 by the L. S. census Of 1870
beng an increase of l30.l24 or nearly Is per
cent. The white population has increased from
1862 065 to 404 ,9l6, or IL per cent, while the col
ored population has increased from 36i,2l0 to
4j0,6ll, or "a per cent. The white and colored
populations were nearly equal in 1870, but during
the Eve years the whites have increased only 49,

ly accounted for, no doabt, BY tie immigration of
the co.ered race from States further North to the
more congenial climate of Louisiana.
In the Parish Of Orleans there were, in 1870,
l40,923 whites and 50,4j6 colored. In 1875 there
are i45.72l whites and 81 647 colorcd. Both alb
solutely and relatively the colored population OF
New Orleans has increased faster than the white,
while neither has increased so rapidly in the city
81 has in the country. The State census reports

ulation 10 1873. As the average death rate of the
city OF New York IS only about 80 per thousand
and that Of the rural counties not more than from
70 to rs per thousand, the growth Of the popula
tion OF Louisiana seems TO be in some part ac.
counted for by the natural excess Of births over
deaths. A gain Of one per cent. per annum from
excess OF births would smonnt in five wears IN

Stanley's letters from the shores OF the Veto
ria Niyanza, published in Monday New York
Herald, prove him hero, and indicate that the
results of his expedition arc very likely to be the
most valuable geographical discoveries of central
Africa the crown and eonsnmmation Of the long
search of the source Of the Nile. No traveller
there has had so somber a record to give as his
Starting from Zanzibar in the fall OF 49, 1, with
over 800 followers, the greater part OF them Air-
cans, he reached the great lake on February q,
1875, having lost l54 men from fever, dysenfely,
starvation and battle, and the purpose OF the
whole expedition not yet entered upon. The most
thrilling portion of their experience was three
days of fierce war with tribe, the Waturu, who
ed them wantonly, but whom they terribly
classified, leaving the Waturu villages fer many
miles along the level valley of the Leewumbu
charred heaps but losing 90 CT 20 men in the
fighting. When Stanley wrote, March |, they
had encaniped on the shore of the great Nlyanza,
the source, he is sure, Of the White Nile, between
$500 and $500 feet above the and draining the
vast plateau Of central Africa, and he was. about
to launch upon its waters the English boat he bad
fetched so far over plain and through jungle. The
Herald does but justice to Mr.. Stanley when 1t
observes that his story exhibits "neither despon
dency nor exulatioh." His temper is one OF res
olute, honorable determination to do what he
came there to do he writes with a manly spirit
and bright intelligence, which let US hope will
not be lost in this fatal, costly exploration, but
survive it to enjoy an honorable fame.-Spfing-

The report Of the operations Of the " cstein
Union Telegraph Company for the past year con-
tains some very interesting statistics Tor compafi-
son with the English postal telegraph system
The lies of wire in Great Britain are about ILL.,
600; the Western Union Company owns leo,ooo
miles. The animal number of messages in Great
Britain is about eighteen millions; last year more
than seventeen million messages were sent by the
Western Union Company. The rate for messages
in Great Britain is one shilling, worth in Amer-
can paper money nearly Thirty cents. The aver
age charge on messages in this country is appar-
emily little more than fifty cents. Considering
the enormous area of our country ard the great
difference in distances, messages are, on an aver
age. Transmitted, as well as the greater compare
tive density of population in England which de-
creases the number of non-paying lines, the rate
per message in this country Is not much IN excess
of that in England, If the amount OF service Tor
the money is taken into account. 1t IS true that
the single rate is for twenty words in England and
fol ten in this country but the estimate we have
given of the cost is for all messages, whatever
their length. The Western Union Company
makes good thing ont OF its business, too. Its
net profits were moro than one-thlrd ot the gross
receipts 1t is proved by the figures giTcn tLat
the expense of transmitting seventeen mil non
nessages and OF keeping the lines ia good work
ing order. amounts to but So $685. Coo; that IS only
thrty-sevep cents on the average Tor each mes
sage long or short, whatever the distance. The
failure of the government Of Great Britain, with
its system Of close economy, to make both ends
meet with rate in reality much higher than ihis'
although nominally lower viii shake the arSu-
ments if not the faith, of those who advocate at
tachiIg the telegraph to our government sys-
tenn. XostQa -4dtf@i2eT, 1874.

Professor Halls collection Of geological spac-
mems, formerly in the State Geological Museum,
Albany, is at present being removed to the NJ ase-
um of Natural History in Central Park, New York
city This magnificent collection is one Of the
finest in America, and will be an important addi-
ton to the already large and interesting collection
of objects of natural history in the Park Museum.
The building has recently been greatly extended.
and one wing of the new edfice has been specially
prepared for the reception Of Professor Halls col
lection. When the Art Museum, which will be
connected with the Museum of Natural History,
has reached completion and been filed with the
choicest works OF art the united buildings will
form one of the greatest attractions in Central
Park and afford perhaps the best opportunities for
scientific study to be found anywhere in America.

The ears Of Milwaukee audience stood right
up the other night when the eloquent Professor
Cunning rang out the following: "Time was
when sloths of elcphantine bulk browsed the tees
of South America, and troops of mastodons and
msmmoths of more than elephantine bulk roamed
over North America, and mammoths and NAM
moth elks and tigers and bears were in Europe.
At once, everywhere on the globe, these great
dynasties began to wane. The blood in the veins
of nature seemed to be drying up. The megath-
erium of South America died out, and its family
lapsed into the little ant-eaters and armadldoes
and soths. The great cave bear faded out Of
Europe and shrunk into the grizzly of the Rocky
Mountains Mastodons and mammoths persisted
in Europe and America, and their dynasty dwindlcd
into the smaller elephants which live to-day in
Asia and Africa"
