| Fragmentary estimates of the popula.
| ton the cities and States, as fnrnished
| by the census Of the present year, have
been given from time TO time 10 the Sun.
They indicate larger increase in tho
population Of tho Southern States than
was expected, and IL is believed that this
jncrense w;ll, on thewhole, compare fairly
veil with that OF the Northern States du-
ring the past decade. Some part Of this
apparent Southern increase may bc due
| to the greater fhorougbness with which
the present census has been taken there
| ih comarisoh with the enumeration Of
1870. Apart, however, from this, there
has been large increase of population
from Interstate and foreign immigration
than most persons are aware. off, Texas,
| as is we'll known, has been and still Is q
fayorite field for immigration, and the
| census indicates that. from natural causes,
the gain In population during the past
Ten yenrs, has been somewhere about
ninety per cent. There has also been q
considerable emigration TO como Darts OF

counties, where colonies have established
for dairy and stock-raising purposes, and
where companies have been formed with.

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Ego" by Harry W. French, is novel de- signed to show the great struggle of self against circumstance which is going on everywhere. The scene of the story is laid at Harper's Ferry; it's hero, a crippled boy,
 the son of southern planter, boy neglect ed and abused, and it's principal characters, the village doctor, and other inhabitants The story turns on the struggles, misfor- tunes and final triumphs of the hero, whose course is followed from boyhood to manhood l It is strange story, but an entertaining one
 Published by Lee & Shepard, Boston, and for
 sale in this city by Judd the bookseller. In 1881 Littelrs Ltgtng Age enters upon it's thirty eighth year of continuous publica- ton, and its value increases with it's years. Periodical literature is constantly growing | richer and more abundant in the work of the | ablest writers upon all topics of interest, and I in no other way can so much of the best of l this literature be obtained as eonvasiently I and cheaply as through the columns of this standard magazine. Issued weekly, and giving over three and quarter thousand | large and well-flled pages of reading matter yearly, it is enabled to present, with fresh
 
 publication, the ablest essays and reviews, the choicest serial and short stories the most interesting sketches of travel and discovery, the best poetry, and the most valuable bio graphical, historical, scientific and po- litical information from the entire
 body of foreign current literature and from the pens of the foremost writers of the day.
 Furnishing thus the only satisfactorily com plete compilation of an indispensable itera- ture, Tue Lt0taag Age is obviously invaluable to American readers It supplies the place of many magazines, reviews and papers, and alone enables the reader, at a small expendi- ture of time and money to keep well abreast
 with the best thought and literature of the time. The subscription price ($S year) is cheap for the amount of reading furnished,
 while the publishers make still cheaper offer viz, to send Tue Li0t1ag Age and any one of the American $4 monthlies week lies year, both postpaid, for $1o.50; thus furnishing to the subscriber at small cost the cream of both home and foreign lit erature. The publishers also offer to send to all new subscribers for the year 1881, remit ting before January l, the weekly numbers of 1880 issued after the receipt of their sub

CIleaD Gas.

According to the London EchO, remarka able invention has just been patented in France For many years inventors have been trying to devise means of utilizing water-gas, but certain fnality prophets pointed out that, as it cost as much to dissociate the gases as they were worth as fuel when separated, the research was much like seeking after perpet- ual motion. If report speaks truly, however, the problem has been solved by M. Paul Aube who at one operation converts iron into steel and produces Illuminating gas. By a combination of the two processes he car bonizes the iron, and, at the same time, ob- tains carburetted hydrogen, or an equivalent of coal gas at merely nominal cost. The iron is placed in retort with charcoal or coke and being raised to the proper temper ature is supplied with dose of fatty matter, and, subsequently,, when steam is introduced the latter is immediately decomposed, the OK ygen uniting with the coke and the hydrogen combining with the vapor of carbon, thus converting the iron into steel, and producing Illuminating gas at one operation. The cost of the process is more than covered by the difference in the value of iron and steel, and the gas consequently represents only DOT tion of the clear profit

less we realize the seriousness of the trouble we shall search in vain for the remedy. It is an absolute fact that in the year ending June 30, 1880, 75, 439 Canadian settlers entered the United States at the ports comprised in the district of Huron This does not include travellers, nor persons crossing the lines on visits, nor lumbermen, nor passengers to Manitoba, but is the number of those who are ascertained to be emigrants. Since the 30th of June, 1880, the rate of emigration has not slackened, but the reverse" The Globe takes occasion to make political point out of the facts. It attributes the emigra- tion, first, to the alleged failure of the pro- tection policy and the failure to realize the prosperity promised from it second, to the reckless disparagement of the country resort ed to by conservative orators and journals when in opposition; and third, to the land regulations, which ''drove thousands of Ca- nadians to Dakota because they were not all lowed to settle on Canadian soil as they de- sired to do."
 w. W. Hunter, Director of Statistics for the Government of India, recently delivered a lecture in Edinburgh in which he drew 8 gloomy picture of the condition of things in India. He showed that while France, rich country which considers itself fully popu- lated and does not raise food enough for it's people, even when crops are excellent as they are this year, has only 15O inhabitants to the square mile, the population of British India, excluding Assam and British Burmah, is 243 to the square mile. But there are large dis tricts where the overcrowding is far more threatening. In thirteen districts of North ern India the population is more than 6SO to the square mile. In some strictly rural dis tricts of Bengal the population is 1,2S0 per sons to the square mile. The people have resource but the land. Only one twentieth of them dwell in towns. The pressure for food is so severe that the land cannot be al lowed any rest nor shifting of cultivation. The forests have been used up, and the use of manure for fuel has become general tbat the land cannot be sustained.
