ACCORDING to Drs. Benin and Wagner,
tue well-known statisticians, the population
of the world, in 1876, may be taken at 1, ,423,-
917.0O0. Nearly one-fifth of these persons,
or 300, ,17S, 900, reside in Europe, and less than
one-third, or 400, 100000, belong to the Eu
ropean civilization. Four.sevenths of the
worlds inhabitants, or $4,000, 900, reside in
Asia, and half of these are Chinese. The
population of Africa, which has to be more
or less guessed at, is about 10000, 900, of
whom scarcely one per cent. can be fairly re-
garded as civilized beings, and little more
than ten per cent. fairly set down as semi
civilized. The population of the two Amer
icas is least of all. Natives included, in
North and South America the population Is
only S5,000,000, over one-half of which belong
to the United States. Of the entire Ameri-
can population one-half are of pure. blooded
European descent. The Turkish Empire
contains 46,OO0,OOO inhabitants, including
2O,OOO,0OO for Egypt and its dependencies,
with Tunis and Tripoli; but its population in
Europe is only 100000 and 13,5eO,O in
Asia. Of Turks proper, only one-fourth gov
ern with a rod of iron the remaining three
fourths of the Sultan's European subjects.

In future American and all other foreign
ers will have the privilege of registering their
trademarks in England upon the same terms
as British subjects The concession COM
menced on and from New Years day,
under an act of Parliament passed in
1876 Hitherto, the United States Patent
Office at Washington has declined to register
trademarks for British subjects, because
there was no reciprocal action in favor OF
American citizens, but henceforth there will
be that interchange of national courtesy and
right, the want of which has long been felt
and regretted. The communication from the
Patent Office in London draws particular at
tention to the fact that prior registration in
the United States is not necessa ary before
registration of trademark in Great Britain.
But if an American trademark has been used
before the date of enactment of the new act
OF Parliament, (which date, however, was
not stated On the face Of the communication
TO the Chief Commissioner of Patents in
Washington), it will be necessary, in the
application for registry to give description
of the goods in respect of which it has been
used. and the length of time during which
it has been so used. The proper officer OF
the English Patent Office to address on this
subject is Mr.. Fl. Reader Lack, Trademark
Register, Quality Court, Condor.

THE Colorado river continues {

THE Colorado river continues to cut down it's channel deeper and deeper yearly; more especially is this~the case, in places where it's flow is confined by rocky and per- manent banks. In the eaton near the head of Iaeger's old ditch, there project, several feet above the water, reefs ofrock which are not mentioned in Lieut.. Ives sur- vey, of the river, and which have not been visible at any stage of the: water until within the last eight'or ten years. This deepen ing of the channel renders the oldest alluvian deposits along the banks less liable to damage by overflow, and will be an impor- tant factor in retaining the Col orado river valley for agriculture.

Yuma County for Grapes.

We have already called atten- tion to the fact, that the soil and climate of this County closely re- semble those of other countries famous for vine culture and for the intense, rich flavor of their products. Wherever, in this County, vines have been planted and properly cared fol, their growth has been vigorous and their fruitage all that could be de- sired. Tom Goodman of Ehrenberg has vines on the mesa behind his house, three and four years old, as thick as a mans arm, lovely in their foliage, and loaded with young grapes, already of the size of swan shot. We have never seen so thick, a setting of fruit upon vines, even of the best dis tricts, of Germany or California. The summer temperature of the Tokay district, in Hungary, equals that of Yuma county. That coun- try is celebrated for strong, rich wines. It is customary there to twist the stem of grape clusters, just before they are ready to be plucked. and to leave them hang ing: a few days on the vine, before gathering them for the wine- press. This twisting of the stem interrupts the flow of sap, and al lows the superfuous water to eva porate from the grapes. This method diminishes the quantity of wine, but vastly improves it's strength and quality: under it the new wine runs no risk of ac- etous- fermentation, even in the hottest weather. A similar pro- cess may be found proper here. Grape culture is destined to play no mean part among the indus tries of Yuma county.

Good Opening for Bankers.

No. place West of the Rocky Mountains offers better induce ments, than Yuma, as field for the use of money in a legitimate banking business. Yuma stands at the very threshold of Arisoaa; through her streets will hence forth enter men and goods destin- ed for the interior; while the pro- ducts of the Territory have prac- tically no other outlet than the way past our doors. The natural resourcesof Arizona are infinite and inexhaustible; money only is scarce. The Valley of the Gila alone has agricultural resources enough to support prosperous State: money is required to pro- mote irrigating enterprises, to erect sugar-mills and: cotton-gins, to stimulate planting, assist har- vest and to move crops: it's rich lands and. their products afford the best of securities. Thousands oftons of rich ores lie piled on dumps, inviting the help of capi- tai for their transportation or re- duction.- Arizona Is bound to Ga 1ifornia by thousand ties of sym pathy, by the bonds of trade and by geographical position. A rail- road now connects Yuma. with San Francisco. The Colorado riv- CT, navigable stream. separates Arizona from California and di. verts her traffic to its intersection with the railroad here.
 Yuma is destined to bear the same relations to Arizona and to Prescott Cor Phoenix that San Francisco does to California and to Sacramento. The banker here can see pass his doors every pro- duet, on which he would make a loan. Rates of interest are high here, as they always are, where the certainty of great profits ac. company absence of risk and scar- city of money. Like all new coun- tries, our Territory and her Coun. ties1are promoting new enterpris. es by the sale of bonds; and, as on every frontier, our expendi- lures have exceeded the proceeds of taxation, during the earlier years of occupation and organiza. tien. To loan money on choice farming lands, on agricultural pro- ducts, on bullion and ores, on bonds and warrants, for whose re- demption the public credit is pledged, affords here safe, lucra. tive and legitimate business of banking Whether other parts of Arizona offer these collaterals more abundantly than Yuma, en- ters-not into the question. Since through@this town must pass the money to reach them and through it must pass every product of the Territory, that seeks market, it is evident that a. banker here would come in contact with col laterals and borrowers from evesu part of the Territory. Yuma is the place for bank.
