Proportlonate Increase cf tho Races.

some time ago the New York iSH,,
published statistics to show that the
coiorcd population in the United
States had Increased in q very much
larger ratio than the whites during the
past decade. The figures OF the CEN
sns OF 1870 were used in making the
comparison, although the utter un-
reliability ofthat enumeration had al
ready been conrlu>ivciy shown. We
have been unable 70 procure this table
giving the population Of the different
States by races according to the last
cens!'s, and a"c compelled to Gnpcnd
tor it upon memory in the follow
ing comparisons:
In 1850 tue whites Of the entire
Union numbered 2G,922 ,537, and the
blacks III $50. There were, in 1870
33,5S9 ,33S whites and 1886, ,O09 blacks,
an increase Of nearly Twenty-Five per
cent. for the whites and only ten per
cent for tho blacks, notwithstanding,
that the losses of the war were sus-
tanned almost entirely by the former.
The absurdity Of this was manifest,
and should have stamped the census
OF 1870 as a fraud from the beginning.
II We remember Alright, the census
OF 1880 gives in round numbers l3 ,0UO,-
600 whites and $500 900 blacks. Skin
ping over the census Of 1870, il is
found, if these figures be correct, that
The whites have gained sixty per cent.
and the blacks tiily-tour per cent. since
1860. y considerable error in thc
, above estimate will be required to
give prcpondcrAncc Of percentage to
the blacks.
We happen to have accurate statis-
ties regarding four States that can be
,airly taken as an average. In Florida
ana Arkansas white Immigration has
possibly exceeded coIor~I i,rmiura.

from the undertaking His master said
..Ieu can write words, can you not :
YES
"'rhen you can put words together"
Yes, sir"
tThen.' said his master, 'you may lake
your slate and 60 out behind the sclioolhunse
and there you can find something To write
about. and then you can tell what it is. what
il is for, and what is tn be done with it. aud
that will be Il comrositlon.
Henry took his slate and went OF He
went behind Mr.. Finney's barn which was
near by, and seeing a fine turnip grow ing up,
he thought he knew what that was, what it
was for. and what would be lone with it.
\ half hour had been allowed to Henry
tions. In half an hour he carried in his
work, ali accomplished, and the master il
said to have been aft cted almost 10 tears
when he saw what little Henry had done in
that short time. No wonder; this is what he
wrote:
Mr.. Finney had a turpip,
And it grew, and it grew
And IL grew behind the barn,
And the iurnip did no harm.
And II grew, and 1t grew,
Till it could grow no taller
Then Mr.. Finney took II up
And put it in the cellar.
There It lay. there 1t lay,
TIL 1t began 10 rot; g,
When his daughter Susie washed it.
And put it in the pot.
Then she boiled, and boiled it.,
AS long as she was able;
Then his daughter Lizzie took it,
|. And she put it on the table.
Mr.. Finney and his wife.
Both set down to sup
And they ate and they ate,
Until they ate the turnip up.
