The Population Of France.

The steady decrease In the population of
france, as Indicated by the gradual falling off
ID NJ the olrth rate, Is again attracting consider
ahle attention In that country. In 1878 the
number of births was below the average of the
Tour previous years. In 1861 the average was
zoo per cent. In 1865 it had sunk to 2.65, and
since then a further decline took place, until I'm
ISIS II had fallen TO 2.53. The birth rate of
France Is, Indeed, much lower than In any
other European country: The highest rate is
that OF the German Empire. where accorfliog
To the latest returns, it was 4.Os per cent In
Russia the rate is 3.9s. and In Austria 3.91 per
cent, while in England In 1877 Is was 1852 Der
cent. The causes assigned for the low rate II
France are the fewer number OF marriages, an j,
what Is far more important, the gre Il
decline In the number of children re-
sult1ng from these marriages. Between 1864
ana 1865 the average Oh marriages was 0I9 per
cent, whereas 1t is now only O.75 per cent. AS
regards the number Of children born in we'd
lock, 1t appears that In the period 1S5l-55 the
percentage was $40, but 1t Is now only ans
while at The beginning of this century it was
1913 The proportion of children to each m ar
rage Is dWinuling more and more throughout
France, with the exception OF Brittany and
some OF the departments in the center and
south. where the agricultural population Is
under the system OF cooperative farming
Among the petty tradeSmen and the weli.to- do
peasants there Is seldom more than one child
per marriage; and In some parts of the country
the average Is even less than this. To certain
extent the decrease In population Is kept In
check by the decrease In the mortality.

What Labor Makes Cotton.
The Planters Journal


\ comparison has recently been made
between the ten crops of cotton raised
from 1853 to 1861 inclusive, which were
the last crops raised by slave labor, and
the ten crops from 1870 to 1879 inclusive
which were the last ten crops raised by
free labor. The former consists of
81. 995, 40 bales, and the latter of Al
454, 143 bales, so that the excess of the
ten crops Of free labor is G,459,3 bales.
The last five crops exceed the five
crops Immediately preceding the war
by 1892 ,41O tlles or at the rate of 7S9, Si3
bales per anuum. The experiment of
the application Of free labor to the
production Of cotton has, therefore,
been contacted on a scale so extensive,
and with results so significant that
there is no room for doubt or cavil in
regard to the result.
The white men Of the South are work
ing more encrgetically now than before
the war, and the labors of the freemen
have increased in productiveness by
emancipation. The fallacy of the theo-
ries formerly advocated by Southern
statesmen relating to this subject has
been so clearly proven that the people
of that section may we'll doubt the
wisdom OF the past and present in
functions Of their favorite leaders,
[ Forney's Philadelphia Progress
The foregoing statistics of the produc-
ton of cotton within the periods named,
We presume are correct, but We do not
vouch for their correctness. We pub
iIsh the same as a matter Of statistical
and for the purpose of
upon the remarks "and
the labOrs of the freedmen have been
in productiveness by emanci-
patton" This is a grlevous error,
known practically to every observer
familiar with Southern field labor. We
those of us who are on the ground,
and WHO know what is going On-know
this to be a mistake. A fair minded
farmer who knows anything about cotton
planting will testify that the products
of the labor OF the freedman in cotton
is fully one-third less than when he was
a slave. We who are also on the
ground know that vast numbers of
those who were once field hands are
now engaged in other pursuits, or are
idling about the towns and cities of the
North, East and West to an extent far
greater in all PROBABILITY than the
natural increase of their population
who remain at home.
No. the whole increase in the growth
Of cotton is from white labor, either
forced, by want OF col0red labor, or
voluntary. We have no disposition to
DO injustice to the freedman, or to un-
lervalue him ia any respect, for he is
part and parcel Of us, and is entitled to
respect aud justice, and we propose in
Ill our utterances to give him full
credit for what he is justly entitled to.
What We have said in this connection
md in commenting on the article above
quoted, is only with the view of putting
IN record what we and all others in
position to know-know to be facts.

Two Terrible DuelS.

The London Telegraph prints the
following: 4 horrible story Of duel
between two inhabitants of Morocco is
reported from Dram. The two prlnci-
pals, both occupying good position,
were tnamored of the same beauty, and
agreed to fight for her POSSESSION. The
conIbatants met at IL short distance from
Mequinez, each being armed with a
carOine, revolver, and hunting knife,
and mounted on horSeback. The duel
lists rushed at one another at full speed,
winch resulted in one of the horses
being killed, and the fight was contin-
ued on foot. After the two men had
received several bullets in different
parts OF their bodies, they closed, and
commenced a violent aud horrible
struggle with their knives. One of
the men thrust his knife into the others
throat, and received ii cut from his
enemy Which opened the whole of Iii,
chest. Too weak to use THEN arms,
the dying men took to biting nnt-
tnother. an expired, the one with his
teeth closing III the others cheek, who
gave up his last breath III tndravurIng
to up open his adVelsary's body. The
ntJrct OF the encounter was thus gained
as each prevented the other from Oh
tanning the hand of the ylrl, who must
III tn1ure endeavoT only to cAptivatt
one Hdmlrcr at ii time if she wishes to
secure a husband.
After all, this is childs play compared
with a desperate encounter described
by the impartial Of Madrid, as taking
place at Valparaiso. \ quarrel be
tween two rival Professors of music
led to a challenge, the instrument Sc
iected being neither pen nor sword,
but the piano. The conditions of the
encounter We're that neither
party should eat Or drink until honor
had been duly satisfied, and that no
Waltze> or other lively airs should be
INDUCED in. Seconds We're appointed,
and the duel proceeded without inter
mission forty-eisht hours, at the end of
" hich time one of the musicians, after
playing Misereren for the one
and tifticth time, fell forward
and sank exhausted on the floor. Ht.
was taken up a corpse. His adversary
had literally transformed into an "en-
ragged musician and was in that
state removed to the hospital. The
seconds themselves seemed seriously
. touched," and each Of the pianos
was fonnd in a opelessly crazy CON
dition. Such, at least, is the result of
the medical examination.

"DOn't Cross a Bridge Until You
Come to lt.''

| There was once man and a woman
! who planned to go and spend the day at
a friends house, which was some miles
distant from their own.
So one pleasant morning they started
out to make the visit, but they had not
gone far before the woman remembered
a bridge they had to cross that was very
old, and was said not to be safe, and she
Immediately began to worry about it,
''What shall we do about the bridge T.
she said to her husband. Il forgot that
bridge; it is bad place suppose it
should break through, and we should
fall into the water and be drowned y
''Or even,' said his wife, suppose You
should step on Il rotten plank and
break your leg, what would become of
me and the baby !"
Il don't know said the old man,
"what would become of any OF Us, for |
couldn't work, and we should all starye
to dea1h.n
SO they went on worrying and worry
ing, until they got TO the bridge, when
10 and behold thev saw that since they
had been there last a new bridge had
been built, and they crossed over it in
perfect safety, and found they might
have spared themselves all their anxiety.
Now that is just what the provelb
means; never waste your worrying on
what yon thi nix may possibly be going
to happen don't think, ooh, suppose
it should rain tomorrow so that [ can't
go out, u" or "What should | do if | had
headache the day of the party 2"
Half the time the troubles we look for
do not come, and, as has been said, it is
never worth while wasting your time in
worrying.
