The Next Gensns.

A careful calculation ia made in the
New York Sun, of the probable results OF
the census Of 1880. In round numbers,
the millions Of the Republic have in.
creased as follows, beginning with the
fret census in 1890, and giving the emu.
metstion each successive ten years: 4, 5,
2, 10, IS. II, %, 81, 50. The increase
per cent has been as follows, beginning
with 1900: $50, S6.Ss, $500, 1857,
1870, S6.45, 1888, 22.GS. The compare.
lively small increase in the last decade
was due, Of course, to the war. Up 10
that time the increase had been, on an
average, rather above 81 per cent year,
or So per cent for the ten years. But it is to
be taken notice OF, what has been appar-
emily overlooked by the Suns arithme.
ticker, that from 1900 to 1850 there was
declining per cent Of increase
In 1850 and in 1860, an advance in the
rate was established by the increase in
the number OF immigrants. But, ard
this is the point to which special atten.
tion should be directed, toward the end
Ofthis last decade, falling offhad begun
in the number Of arrivals. In the present
decade this falling of is more noticeable
than ever. Apparently the tide has not
yet begun TO turn. 1t is scarcely accur.
ate, therefore, to hold that the average
growth OF the first seventy years of the
nations existence is to be kept up during
the present DECADE. tits worth while in
passing to say that had the ratio OF in.
crease which obtained up 10 1860, been
maintained during the decade ending
with 1870, the population by the last
census would have been about 42,50O,O 900.
It was 9s,55S,S7l.
Since the last National census, enumes-
atoms have been made in fifteen States.
Twelve Of these we're taken in 1875, one
IN 1871 and two 10 1876. The average
increase per cent in these fifteen States
was l5.49. Four Of these States, Massa.
chusetts, Rhode Island, New York and
New Jersey; were Eastern States. Two,
sonth Carolina and Lonl'lana' belong to
t1esou'h' All the others belonged to the
West
Theratio oil increase IN two oil the four
Eastern States was less than that in any
Of the western States. The average H.
crease oil these iouF Eastern States, loF

Precious Stones as Playthings.

w. j. Morton, in a lecture on South
African Diamond Fields, tells this sto-
ry: A traveller named O'Reilly stop
ped at a Doors house. He found the
children playing with pebble that
looked like diamond. He bought ii
for trife, the Boor saying that It was
a diamond, they could get plenty more,
and took II away. He sold II at the
Cape for $4,000. He bought another
from negro, which he sold for $685.
600, and then the natives began to
search for these stones where they had
previously seen them, the white men
heard Of their success, and then the
rush began. One mine after another,
all in the same neighborhood, was
found, and round each mine city
sprung up. The last, and that which
is the center Of the diamond trade, j.
Kimberly. This city has 10000 popu-
lation, five churches, two theatcrs,
banks, hotels and other buildings.
