all the stronger when he learned that
Tom, like himself, could neither read nor

Tom kept the fact under cover as long as
possible. He bought newspapers and
pored over them as regular as an old

WHAT the population Of the Republic is
we shall soon know, SO far as census-tak-
ing can ascertain it. Meanwhile, private
statisticians are at work to sec how near
they can come by calculation and estimate
to the actual figures. One Of these puts
the present population in round numbers
at 4S, 272 600, which would make the gain
since 1870 less than 100000. In work,
published good while ago, 8 per cent OF
population was added to the total number
each year, aud the estimates were found
to correspond very closely to the figures
Of the census. The estimate for 1870 was
4O52S,Sl7; the census was only IS, 52S ST.;
but the destruction OF life had not, Of
course, been anticipated. The estimate
for 1880 was 54,5SG,705. The gain
from 1910 to 1850 was 6,l22, 900;
from 1850 to 1850, S,25OOOO; from 1860
to 1870, 7,ll5,OOO. Dating the ten years
from 1860 to 1870, Massachusetts gained
100000, and New York $4,000. These
figures show rapid increase Of gain over
the previous decade, and it is claimed and
acknowledged that the Southern and
Western States have gained more rapidly
in the past nine than in the previous ten
years. Therefore, the estimate of the
statistician above quoted seems to be far
too low. According to the best informa.
ton presentable, and the most careful cal.
culations, the census will show the popu.
lation in 1880 to be fully 100000 or a
gain of nearly 100000 over the popula.
ton ten years before. The general est.
mate has been between 100000 and 49,
100000, and there is small doubt that this
will prove correct 1t might be gratifying
to the national pride to turn 5OOOO,O 900
but pride and arithmetic have nothing in
common.
