ed to "a, 1881, 1896 souls. According to

0SS; from 1852 to 1867, 0.75, and from
1867 to 1875, 0.85 per cent. In the sew
eral larger states comprised in the en-
pire the increase of the population of
the territory of which they now consist
has been as follows: Prussia in 1916 had

crease of LOB per cent; Bavaria had

THE year 1879 will pass into Ameri-
can history as a year of wonderful ag-
ricultural prosperity. The cotton crop
is larger by half million bales than
ever before, the tobacco crop 100000
pounds greater; and the sugar crop ex
ceeds by some 100000 hogsheads all
previous yields. These are crops which
belong almost exclusively to the south
ern half of the republic. In behalf of
the northern states the excess of pro-
ducts this year over the crops of any
previous year is, according to the Chi
cago Journal Of Commerce, 100000
bushels of wheat and from 90,000,0 900 to
100,000,000 bushels of corn. The hog
crop also is larger this year than for a
number of years past-if it be not the
argest ever raised.

their lawyers $4,000 and decree was
entered confirming the acts of the ex-
ecutors in turning over to the church,
out of Brigham's property, about ST.
100000 worth of property. The moth
ers of minor heirs are appointed guar
dians and trustees, and their proportion
of the property set apart to them.
Leading Mormons feel pleased over the
settlement because the suit was bring

AMONG the articles of merchandise
formerly imported in large quantities,
but which have been largely superseded
by home production, are chemicals.
Tartalic acid, the importation of which
last year reached only 163 lbs; not long
ago SOC, 900 lbs. came from abroad annu-
ally. OF citric acid, q, ,018 lbs. was i'm
ported, against previous annual i'm
portation of 100000. The lime juice,
from which the acid is made, is still
imported on account of the small
growth of lines and lemons in the
United States. If southern agricultur-
lists, suggests contemporary, gave at
tention to these fruits, new industry,
in extracting the juice, could be devel-
oped. Last year but 8 ,492 lbs. of borax
was imported, owing to the working of
our new borax mines. Formerly from
100000 to 100000 lbs. was annually re-
ceived. Of cream tartar, none was
received in 1878 from abroad. About
six years ago the receipts were 9000,-
600 lbs. annually.

THE saying that misfortunes never
come single is exemplified by the
startling number of serious accidents
which have occurred on railways rum
ming into Chicago within compare
lively few days past. The enumeration
will be found under our list of recent
accidents. 1t is the more remarkable
that these occurrences in quick success
sion happened on roads notable for
their excellent and careful manage
ment, and that in almost every instance
they resulted from inexcusable care
lessness on the part of train or station
men. As long as human nature is fall
liable accidents will occur, but 1t is not
too much to expect from railway men
the most constant vigilance in the dis
charge of their heavy responsibilities.

A CONTEMPORARY notes, as an import
ant feature OF the paper industry, the
steady increase in the exports of Amer
ican paper, especially of the finer kinds.
The total exports last year amounted in
value to 81, los. .31S, having grown from
the comparatively insignificant amount
of S3,777 in 1869. The imports, on the
other hand, have dwinUied down from
the maximum of S. ,326, AGO, in 1873. TO
the total amount of S135, ,4S7 for papers
of all kinds last year. These latter
We're largely made up of wall papers Of
the more expensive designs, only a
trihing quantity being fine writing pa
pors. The superiority of the home
made paper is now fully conceded at
home as well as abroad, and large ord
ers have lately been received from new
customers in Holland and other coun-
tries. Recently there were representa-
tive buyers here from Japan and China,
who have hitherto been accustomed to
lave their wants supplied in the British
markets. The qualities for which the
fine domestic papers are noted are their
purity, tenacity, freedom from blemish,
and beauty Of finish. The machinery
used is brought to the greatest degree
OF perfection, and new Improvements
are constantly being made.
