Changes in New England Population.
chicago Tribune.

'Hltapu iIlDHht.
Changes in New England population"
Is the title Of an interesting paper re-
Gently read before the social science as
ISOLATION by DR., Nathan Allen, Of Low
ell. In 1870 there was in Massachusetts
l57 1913 persons who were natives of 9TH
or New England States, and in other
New England States 7l.4l1 persons who
were natives Of Massachusetts. The gain
to that state by the exchanges has there
fore been 80, 1o2. The statistics show II
movement still more remarkable of the
country population into the cities. From
1860 to 1870, out Of $40 towns in Massa-
chusetts, 500 increased in population,
while l42 decreased by over 100000 in
habitants. About half of the loss was
o%ccasioned by the annexation of four
places in Boston. The loss in most cases
however, has been in small farming
towns, and has been caused by the re-
moval of the agricultural population t o
the cities. The farming class has, in
deed, been diminishing steady during
the last fifty years. In 1873 the number
employed IN agriculture was 7O,945,
while the number employed in manu-
features was 3l6,459, those in domestic
and personal service, ~ ,2S9, etc. One
half Of the persons employed in agricul-
ture are paid laborers, and they are
gradually acquiring possession of the
soil, and constituting themselves the
farming class. DR.. Allen believes that,
while emigration from New England
westward will continue to decline, tho
migration from the country to the cities
will increase.

Home Again.

The steamships are bringing back to
our ports crowds of Americans who
have spent the summer in Europe and
have cen for themselves cities and
countries of which they had only read.
Most of them have seen London (popu-
latlon, 3~,OO0,OOOl, which is celebrated
for the Tower and Westminster Abbey;
Paris population, 2,000,Oo0), which is
noted for the Jardin Mabille, the Tuil-
cries and the frequency Of its rcyolu-
tons; Vienna, population, 100000,
famous for its beer, and Strasburg,
Cologne, Milan, Berne and other cities
notorious for their patcs and perfumes,
checses, catherdrals and other objects
of interest. Some Of the travellers
have even see Venice, but fortunately
did not die, according to the direction
of the proverb. The Rhonc, the Rhine
and the Elbe have of course been visit
ed, but the Lower Danube this wear
was not convenient for pleasure parties.
The Alps, it is to be hoped, received
proper attention; for, although not
equal to the Rocky Mountains in size,
they are ranges which ought not to be
overlooked. There are other places in
Europe wherein the visitor might while
away a pleasant hour, musing upon
either the past, or perhaps the present
or the future, but to which we cannot in
this article refer. With the aid of a
guide book these attractions can be
profitably studied, and our travellers
should come back with their minds
filled with information. None Of them,
we trust, are like the tourist who
brought back 36J pebbles, each taken
from a different town, and representing
the gains of a years travel. 1t is to be
hoped also that we shall not hear this
winter such remarks as cone day as
We were walking down on the Strand,
Wales said" etc, or When ! dined
with Bismarck" or The Queen told
my wife that the Prince" etc. We
also caution the innocent abroad. when
he is asked where he stayed when in
Paris not to answer " AT the Hotel de
Vile" Things like these have been
said by imaginative travellers, and have
caused the whole tribe to be looked up
on with suspicion. Besides, the untrav-
eIed American who has never perhaps
left his own state naturally diSlikeS to
have the whole Of Europe, Alps, En-
perors and all, cram med into his throat
by a person whose yeracity he may
doubt but cannot positively d~isproye.
Even the honest traveller should be are
ful in trotting out his Dukes, and a
friendly King should never be mention
ed in commo conversation, cxcept
after a judicious leading up to the sub
ject. With these few observations,
which are made in Il kindly way, we

FRANK LESLIE.
Some of the Causes Of His Suspension,
speclal pIspatch 10 The 1nbnne.

Special Dispatch to The Tribune.
Amceting, says the Times, of the
creditors of Frank Leslie will be
held ON Wednesday, and Il full state
ment of his affairs Will be presented TO
them. This statement was IN course of
preparation Today but, Mr.. England
declined to give any information as to
what ii would containx 4 dispatch was
sent to Mr., Leslie, who will come to
meet the creditors. The business will
bc conducted the same rs usual bv the
Assignee, except, perhaps, that some of
the unpaying publications. may be dis
continued.
Mr.. Harry Leslie says the creditors
are disposed to be l%cnient, and that the
house has received kilograms from
various parts of the country expressing
sympathy and asking if the scndcrs
could be of any service in any way.
While unfortunate real-estatc specu-
lations had been largely the cause of
the failure, no part of the Indebtedness
was ON account of them, ns none of the
real estate or property of any kind was
mortgaged. The entire trouble lay in
WV iilNl pil iiWiN w Ilttl ttitNiil
notes, and their consequent protest.
Although Mr.. Leslie was crippled by
outside investments, he could have met
his obligations but for the failure of
others to meet theirs. McsSrS. Rice
Kendall 4 Co, paper-dealcrs Of Boston,
are the largest creditors. Their claim
Is about $4,000. Among the paper
dealers in this city involved are W. j.
Bryan, $1,000; WilkinsonSBroS., $1,000;
Perkins & Goodwin about 1000; and
w II. Parson & Go. The great bulk of
the indebtedness is represented 10y
promissory notes. There are in all
about tifty-two creditors.
Mr.. Leslie states positively that nonc
of them are preferred. Mr.. England is
confident that n satisfactory settlement
can be made, and that the business will
be resumed by Mr.. Leslie and success
fully conducted.

LATE
Reported Great Loss of Cattle. Sheep and
Horses in Brazil.

Disastrous floods in the southern part
of Brazil are chrOnlcled in the Buenos
Ayres SAndard Of July 81, just received.
The PrenSa believes the loss, which was
at first estimated at 10,00O,0 600 sheep
and cattle, will not fall short Of 5000, 900
sheep and 100000 COWS and horses.
And the details published show that the
calamity is one of the most appalling
magnitude, and attended with terrible
sufferings and privations. A letter of
the Mayor of Dolores reports most of
the department of Tordillo under water,
the inhabitants having just had time to
escape with their lives. Most of the
cattle saved from the floods of April
and May have now persisted. The man
ager Of the Nivoras Estancia writes that
on the Dist whole flocks of sheep were
swept away, and he fears the shepherds
too are drowned. Dom Pedro Iturralde
reports four-fifths Of his sheep drowned,
say 5000 head, in the district of Neci-
no. The shepherds are without food or
dry clothing, and the sheep remaining
eat the mud walls Of the ruined ranches.
In Ayacucho there have been similar
losses. The Commissary Of BARRACKS
reports, July q: Pueblo Alsina is under
water, also portions of the fifth and sixth
sections, from the Ensenada Railway
station to Pucnto Chico. In looking for
the cause Of the floods the Staadard
says: The coincidence Of these floods
with an earthquake shock on Thursday
night l26th) felt at Mendoza, Cordoba
and Bucnos Ayrcs leads some persons to
suppose the former are partly the result
of volcanic disturbance: especially as
some wells in our suburbs suddenly ran
dry the day before the shock. More
over a lake has suddenly appeared at
Catamarca, which is gradually swallow
ing up farms and trees"

THE SITTING BULL COMMISSIONERS.

THE SITTING Bull COMMISSIONERS.
A st. Paul special OF the 10Th says the
members of the Sitting Bull commission
arrived in this city this morning, and
held a conference at the headquarters
i Gen. Terry during the afternoon. 1t
vas learned that owing to the low stage
ofwater in the Missouri, boats would be
unable to proceed as far north as Fort
Buford, making it impossible for the
commission to reach the British line
over the route first decided upon. The
commission will leave here on Thursday
for Omaha, and 90 over the Union
Pacific as far as Ogden, where trans
portatlOn will be in waiting to convey the
party to Helena. Here q cavalry es-
cort will be taken to the Canadian bor-
der. The Canadian troops viii meet
the commission at some point north of
Helena, and act as an escort to the
camp of Sitting Bull.
AFINE STORY.
An Associated Press dispatch Of the
18th inst, gives Sitting Bulls reason for
leaving British possessions. 1t is this:

had q council, and. after the council.the
Tribe performed the usual dance. 4
young halfbreed, Bill Culyerson, mt
present the government scout, joined in
me dancing. After il was over he be-
came excited. counted his scalps, and

as many of Your hostile red Indians. ,

Sitting Bull! drew his revolver, a move
ment initiated by Culverson, but before
either could shoot, Mai. Welch. with his
revolver drawn, sprang between them
and told Culverson to put his
pistol away; turning to Sitting Bull he
sald: II want you to understand that
you cannot commit amy of your devil
tries here as you do in the United
States. ! will give YOU and our tribe
five days to leave this country. If you
are not gone then, or if YOU ever return.
| will fight YOU. If you are ever caught
here again, or if YOU shoot this man,
I'll have you hanged by your neck till
YOU are dead Sitting Bull left next
day"
o SO.
An Ottawa, Ont, dispatch SAYS the
associated press report that Mai. Walsh,
of the northwest mounted police. has
ordered Sitting Bull to leave Canadian
territory on account of a quarrel with
an American scout, is discredited here.
Government advices to date contain no
reference to such action.

The Singing COssaeks.

The war correspondent of the Boston
Journal writing from Sistova, says: I was
much amused the other day in witnessing
the break-neck speed with which two
Cossacks went across broad field after a
cart which they fancied had escaped
from requisitioned train, and was max
ing good time in the wrong direction.
Their horses seemed to fy; the long,
wooden lances stood bolt upright; they
seemed like some magic wands on which
both horses and riders were transported.
In our hotel yard, lying about among the
horses, there are goodly numbers of these
fellows. Yesterday as I was saddling
my horse, l heard them singing quaint
refrain; which was singularly beautiful.
One, whose voice was more powerful and
sweeter than the Others, gave the story,
evidently, and the others Joined in the
chorus, which seemed kind Of warlike
chant, and which sometimes lasted one
or two minutes. Nearly all the soldiers
sing, and very well, with certain rough
vigor and grace combined, which are
eminently pleasing. They are also fond
Of singing when they are alone. The
servant, seated on O rude bench outside

THE world is sea, and life and death
are its ebbing and flowing. Wars are the
storms which agitate and toss it into fury
and faction. The tongues of its enraged
inhs bitants are then as the noise of many
waters. Peace is the calm which suc-
ceeds the tempest, and bushes the pillows
of interest and passion to rest. Prosperity
is the sea whose beams produce plenty
and comfort. Adversely is portentous
cloud, impregnated with discomfort, and
often bursts in torrent of desolation and
destruction,
