SOME writer having asserted that IN the
entire world there were bnt comparatively
few persons who had so or It's equivalent,
the New York GrGphic disposes OF the error
az follows: In the savings banks Of France,
in 1877. there were deposited no less than
Sl53, $50, 60 by 2,SGS, 2S3 deposltors. the
average sum Of each depc=itor being about
$50. The number Of these depOsitors con-
tinually increases, and they are to very
large extent, members Of the working Glasses.
So, in England, also, the number OF deposI-
tors in the postal savings bank Is very large
no less, ON the whole, thar two millions
and their deposits. on the average. amount
nearer 70 $50, the hInit allowed, than so.
Ia Scotland and Ireland the savings OF the
people are large and constantly increasing
In Germany the people do not generally
place their savings IN banks, but they have
comfortable little sums laid away IN teapots
and old stockings This, also, Is the ease IN
France In this country the number oi peo-
pie who have so at their command must
amount to quite as many as In either rance

Gen. Sprasue's Letter.

We hear it said that the letter Of Gen.
SprAsue, superintendent Of the North
Pacltic railroad, which was published in
the STATESMAN Of November Doth. is
ambiguous and unsatisfactory, ard that
the price charged fer railroad land is too
high The letter speaks oi land matters
principally and IN that respect il is clear,
full and complete, The railroad lands
have been reduced to 81 60 cents per
acre, which IS cheaper than the govern
meat lands, Is under the -eInption tho

prOvemeuts, reside six months upon the

as by law required; under the direct
purchase pl;sn Of lands belonging 20 the
United States 10y locating under what IS
termed floats, the land will cost the

How 0LD Is THE FRIDAY SUPERSTITION.
In Mr.. Proctor'S Sunday evening lecture
Oh the Religion Of Astronomy he alluded

cited in illustration the delay Of I troop ship
by order Of the British Admiralty some years

sailors An apter Illustration was close 1t

as the day of departure by all the Atlantic
steamers which ply from this port But Mr..
Proctor yentured az assertion about this sG-
perstition which admits OF doubt. he SAID
that it dates back -four Of FIVE thousand
years So erudite awriter as Robert South

and as arising from the crUclt!xlon- Il Mr..

WAS bound to die, 1t wouldn't hurt to follow
that receipt. She went out and gathered tn

the child. Her child now lives well an
