THE POPULATION OF THE CITY.

City Treasurer Francis Vincent has
written a. communication public pub
lished in the financial columns OF the
Phila 'elphia Record, in relation to the
$l%5, 700 A per cent bonds of this city,
IN when lie estimates the population OF
this City 1900. Mr.. Vincent estimates
1t on the following basis: That we have
built 1895 new houses in Wilmington
since 1870, when the population of this
city was 1000.
Reckoning IL people to two houses,
this would give aD increase Of 13,172,
which added TO 1000 would make the
population of this city 44,l72. The pop
ulation OF Philadelphia is about @ people
to house. But the p pulal lou of Anglo
Saxon cities, counting both occupied
aud uuoccupied houses, averages l peo-
pie to Two houses.
he estimates that there are not more
unoccupied houses in Wilmington u at
i'll any oLuer city. On the contrary tina
gentiemeu who have travelled all over the
United States allege that during the panic
they saw no place as prosperous rs Will
hingtOn. That whilst III the manufac.
turing cities of the East and other places
they would find whole streets OF great
factories closed, in Wilmington but 8 Or 4

somewhat difficult to find to rent and
that expensive houses were unrented, OH

Short Horns VS.. Scrubs.

~ H AZ .sNnH q.
A few years since an experimental
test was made in Illinois with view
TO ascertaining the actual difference
in value and weight between calves
sired BY Short-horn bulls and out OF
common scrub cows, and those sired
BY scrub bulls and out of scrub cows.
The test was, in fact, between half
blood short-horns and full-blood
scrubs. In every respect the cattle
were upon equal footing in regard to
food and careful attention. Attic
end of three years the half-blood
short-horns weighed each five hun
dred pounds more than the scrub
threo-year. olds, and sold for S25 each
moro than the scrubs brought. This
experiment was conclusive that the
calves of full .bloodcd short-horn
bull gained an average of IS 80 in val
ne and l66 pounds in weight every
wear for three, or more than the calves
from a scrub bull did--all the calves
being out of scrub. cows.-Fdrmers'
