Something New.

This is nothing more or less than Ja-
panese paper carpeting. which has. des
pite its name. all the appearance of
first class oilcloth, with all the tough
ness. elasticity and durability Of leather
Of all things, we last expected to see
paper take the place of oilcloth, but
here it does most unquestionably. 1t is
manufactured in New Jersey, and
reaches this coast in 25 and 81! yard
rolls. the former a yard wide, and the
latter II yards wide. 1t threatens to
displace oilcloth altogether, as il is
handsomer. without the smell peculisr
to the latter, lays smoother is more
durable. has a superior foundation. is
printed in six or eight bright colors by
hand, and will not crack like that
which it is intended supersedc. The
necessity Of the intr, 1uction of earthly
matter above the burlap in ordinary
oilcloth renders cracking and tearing
in many instances almost unavoidable.
and substitute like this was long
needed This is now supplied, aud the
public will be the gamer.

\ WASTE OF MeNEY.-The wide
spread financial depression seems to
have had little effect on the exodus of
OF American tourist, going abroad 70
air their republican dignity and indie
pendence. aud import European super
cilious impert.ncnces. More than forty
five million dollars have already been
issued by New York bankers in letters
Of credit during this season. In adii-
tion t" this, the transactions of other
bankers in the same line. in other large
seaboard cities and the Interior have
probably aggregated nearly as much /;
and moreover, a large collective sum
has been exported either in American
money to be exchanged in Europe. or
III European money purchased here
before the embarkation of the excur-
sionists. On the whole, an estimate
that 100000 900 will be taken out of
the country by tourists this year, will
probably be within the truth. and it is
highly doubtful whether the returns, in
the way OF increased culture, informa-
ticn, experience and patriotism. will be
worth a titbe of this enormous sum.

Life in London.

Moncdre b. Conway, in one of his
letters to the Cincinnati Commercial, COL
lates from the report of the Registrar
General the following interesting sta
tistics in regard to the largest city in
the world
The Metropolis covers 1e.090 acres,
or l22 square miles; it contains l 500
miles OF streets and 1000 miles OF sew
ers. There are All, ,167 inhabited houses
at which dwelt at the middle Of 1876,
3.4S9, ,42S. among whom there were more
females than males by 222 $50. The
inclusion Of fifteen miles around makes
the population 4.2S6, COZ. The annual
rentable value of property Is t23. 25l, :
o02. The estimated increase of popu-
lation per annum is 44.l64. There are
somewhat over 100000 professional |
men, which includes members of Parlia-
meut, editors, artists, authors. teachers
aud officers; 2ll.000 of the commercial
class; jO5. 900 Of the great industrial
class mechanics, that il, or skilled
workmen-the "laborers', (65 ,00O) be
ing excluded, and also $1,000 whose &C.
cupatloLs are "undctined." OF the
women, 9S2 1870 are wives who aid their
husbands in business; 226 600 are do
mestic servants; many keep inns and
lodging houses; larg. numbers are
shop keepers; 5000 book binders; 900
make artificial flowers; $1,000 tailor
esses: -. 900 milllners and dressmakers;
27.OO0 seamstresscs and shirtmakers;
$4,000 laundresses; 5000 shoemakers;
1000 box and packing case makers; IL
machinists. Only $4,000 are returned
as gentlewomen.
There are 1900 children in the
schools. Under the age of five the
males and females are nearly equal;
from five to fifteen the excess of girls is
slight; above that the discrepancy
rapidly increases This is ascribed to
the emigration Cf men and the immi-
grafton Of women. More than half the
population above twenty were born out
of London. More than one-sixth of
the population annually die in public
or charitable institutions, last year s.
Ia died in the work houses, 5,3l0 in
hospitals and III in lunatic asvlums
The violent deaths were 2,SSj, Of which
I were executions. 96 homicides, 299
suicides, and the rest accidents. The
most disagree cable novelty of this re-
port is the table showing the daily
average Of sunshine from May 1st to
December 3lst, of last year. Even in
May the average was only about six
hours. and though it rose somewhat over
seven in the Summer months, it declined
to oscillate between one and two during
the last three months of the year

The sweet home of my childhood

The friends tina. grew beside NE.
With their loving looks and words.
The flowers that decked the wildwood.
The roses fresh and sweet,
The b!ue-bells and the daisies

Like the breezes from better laud
Beyond lfe's troubled sea.

The Halloween Classical school.

DEAR JOURNAL - Your constant interest in
and valuable aid rendered to the project of the
Classical School in Hallowel leads us to ask the
still further favor of brief exposition, through
your columns, Of the progress thus far and
present condition of the enterprise. In execution
Of the vote Of the conference of 1871, the sum of
fifty thousand dollars having been secured, a val
liable estate of eleven acres and possessing rare
advantages in point of situation, was purchased
on uncommenly favorable terms. A fine building
was erected for the z iris department and recita-
ton rooms, with accommodations for eighty per-
sons, and partially furnished. Also another lot
was purchased at low price and a commod ious
boys boarding house built thereon and furnished.
Besides this, large and valuable scientific appa
ra,us has been procured. Comparing the results
with the actual cost, no one could doubt that the
money has been well expended, and the property
already accumulated and belonging to the school
may be safely estimated at some sixty thousand
dollars.
Provided with these equipments, the school has
gone on with increasing prosperity, growing in
numbers, in efficiency and in reputation, extend
ing the circle of its influence and gaining the
favor and patronage Of many of the best families
in the State.
And now, looking to the future, the endowment
which was included alse in the original plans OF
| the Conference-is only needed to crown the en-
terprse with complete success and place this in
stitution on secure and permanent foundation,
