A recent Belgian publication shows that
the actual population Of the earth is about
a thousand mil ions, about equally divid-
ed between males and females. Every
year about 100000 die; every day, 81
s34; every hour $3.50; every minute, SO.
Therefore, there is a death every second.
In civilized countries there are more
births than deaths; but the whole world
considered the number of the former is
about equal to that of the latter More
people are born and die in the night time
than in the day, and, generally speaking
low-sized men die before those of tall
stature. Eight thousand and sixty -four
languages are spoken in the world 587
in Europe, 896 in ASIA 276 in Africa, and
1864 in America.

Investigation into the opium eating
habits Of residents of the Shenandoah
valley, reveals the fact that in the town
OF Stanton 100 pounds Of the drug are
sold every week. Many young women
and ladies of the first families are slaves
of the habit. A local newspaper says
that public attention was first called to
to the subject from the fact that a wom-
an sent her horses to be sold that she
might use,t the money to purchase opium
Her agent was unable tosells them, and
when he told her so she fell dead. A
public anh-opium meeting has been held
and petition for tax on the drug is in
circulation.

The English army has long enjoyed the
reputation Of being the most extensively
dressed in Europe. The most expensive
uniform is that of a staff sergeant in the
Foot Guards, to clothe whom entails upon
the country about $40 per man per an
mum, and the cheapest man to equip is
the negro private of the West India regi-
ments, whose picturesque zouave uniform
costs about $12 per annum.

INTERESTING CURRENT TOPICS.

The quick succession of suicides which
occasionally occurs is attributed to an
initiative disposition. The recent ten
dency Of octogenarians to matrimony
cannot be thus easily disposed of; but it
seems evident that many of our frisky old
people regard the Lord Hicks wedding
as a valuable precedent, and are disposed
to follow it, even at the risk Of their
children's displeasure.

We learn from friends of the deceased
q few particulars in regard to the death
of Thomas Rosser, whose remains were
Inferred here on Tuesday. Mr.. Rossel
had been employed as engineer on 9
small steamboat on Staunton River. He
had some difficulty with rough charac
ter connected in some capacity with the
boat. The Captain had notified Rossel
to be on his guard, and as there had beer
no trouble for some days, it was though
the quarrel was at an end, when the body
Of Rosser was found with a gunsho
wound in it, which had evidently beer
the cause of his death. The party sus
pected was arrested, held for .examina
ton, and discharged for want of sufd
cient testimony. When Mr.. Charlie,
Rosser reached Roanoke he began al
investigation which resulted in rearres
of the suspected party on such evidenc
as is believed will be sufficient TO convic
him OF the murder.
