Mr.. Wilfrid 8. Blunt, well-known in
England for his familiarity with the de-
tails of the East, presents the Fort,tigl.tiy
ReU 'eW what may be considered as q fair
census of the Mussulmans In the world.
Such statistics as he has collected may
not be absolutely correct, but, for want OF
any other method ofcounting the follow
ers of the Prophe. IL must be accepted as
an approximate result. Mr.. Blunt, from
careful study of the pilgrims who make
Jeddah their landing p int VIII lie en- route
for Mecca, takes certain proportion OF
them as representative of the masses.
Heie are found "Indiaus, persians, Moors
negroes fIom the Niger, Malays from
Java, Tartars, from the Khanates, Arabs
from the French Sahara, from Ora "a and
Zanzibar, even in Chiness dI ess and un-
distinguishable from other natives of the
Celestial Empire, Mussu mans flom the
interior of China" The Turk nearest TO
Europe. and o4 that account gre 10 ms
as q typical Mussulman. forms hut n
sparse fringe OF Islam. Mr.. Blunt, count
ing the 93 go pilgrims Of 1850, calculates
that they represent Lot less than l7b. .oO0 :.
100 people. The division of creeds he
makes out as follows: Sunites ofortho
dox Mohamm edans l450OO,0OO; ShiItes
l5.c00, 600; Abadit9s, 100000; Wahabites
s.O00,eJO. THIS authority affirms what as
been before this asserted, that the pro-
gress of Islamism in Africa during the
last hundred years has been immense.
An exceedingly interesting article which
appeared In an English review. some
years ago. written by coIored man, told
of his Mohammedan proselytism. The
me great reason why the negro taxes TO
the Prophet Is that at once he is accepted
as friend and brother by the Moham-
medan missionary. He says to the negro
"Come up and sit beside me. Give me

SANITARY LAws.-The New York
Times says; Probably at no time In th.
history of the world have sanitary and
hygienic laws been 30 carefully studied
as they are at present. Physiolozists,
and scientific men who are rot physiolo-
gists, have made experiments upon the
lower animals 10 order to elucidate the
causes of certain disea3es, hoping in this
way to discover means to prevent their
appearance, and lately most surp rising
results have been attained through theil
efforts, and there Is fair promise tba,
sanitary science will yet enable us u,

MONDAY. AUGUST rs. 1881.

PERHAPS the most cheering evi.
dence of the prosperity Of the country
is found in the rapidity with which the
debt is being paid off. 1t is
now only about seventeen years since
the close Of the war and yet about one
third of the vast debt that it was
feared would destroy the energies of
the people has been paid and the
interest of the greater part of the
balance reduced to nearly one half.
But this is only small part of what
the people have to show as the fruits
Of their labors. The vast system of
railroads that have been formed and
the many thousands of miles that have
been built since the war, and the I'M
provement of the old roads by renew
ing them with steel rails and the finest
rolling stock in the world shows that
the country has reaped almost har-
vest of profit from its enterprises. 1t
would be vain indeed for man to claim
the results that have terminated in
such great wealth to the people as a
nation as his own work. The great
ruler Of the universe has showered un-
heard of and unexpected blessings
upon the Republic. No part of it has
failed to reap bountifully of these
blessings and no part is unmindful Of
the fact. No nation in the world il
more grateful. There may be wicked
ness and crimes committed that are re.
voting and startling +; but the senti-
ment that has been evinced since the
assassination of the President shows
that the hearts of the people are right
and that they feel deeply the G cal
favors showered upon the country by
an allwise Providence.
Never was there period in history
of this much favored land when the
young men should feel pride and
elatlon at the prospect before them.
With tie vast wealth that the people
now control ; with an abundance OF
gold and silver forming basis for the
most solid currency We ever possessed,
and with fewer debts upon our great
works than formerly, fifty millions o
freemen start in decade that mus
prove more fruitful than any tina
have preceded it. What the mex
census may show none can safely pre-
dict; but with ten millions of pupil
at school and education already NOR
general, it would be sufficient if W
should only maintain our presen
financial attitude and secure the edu
cation of the masses but it is mos
likely that In 1891 the people will b
even more astonished at the wealt
of the Republic than they will hav
been after the close of 1881.

ITALIAN EMIGRATION TO SOUTH
AMERIoA.-There has within few !
years been very large emigration of
Italians to the Argentine Republic,
and it is said they are giving new life
to the country. They are already
one-half Of the population of Buenos
Ayres, and the republic contains more
than 500, 900 Of them. They are filing
every department Of skilled or unskill
ed labor, developing the great resources
OF the River Plate, building the begin
nings of cities, and pushing the indo-
lent "gaucho'' further and further
back ON the pampas. Their success
is known at home, and additional
immigrants come by every steamer
from the Mediterranean. These be-
ginnings of home manufactures the
Government strives to encourage by
bounties to new industries, by dis
eliminating protective duties, and by
admitting machinery for factories free
of expense. The exposition had four
departments-one for raw materials
and produce one for machinery used
in agriculture and manufactures and
for mechanical inventions one for
manufactures and handicraft products
generally and one for sculpture,
paintings, models and the plastic arts
All were we'll filled. In order to give
an idea of the real commercial i'm
portance of this movement there must
be mentioned some of the manufac-
tured articles which were displayed,
and which may especially interfere
with foreign trade. Among these
were pianos, organs, billard-tables, all
kinds of furniture, jewelry, glassware,
mirrors, soap, starch, confectionery,
hats Of all kinds, harnesses, trunks,
carriages, buggies, boots and shoes,
breech loading shot guns, gunpowder
of all kinds, reapers, plows, weighing
machines, steam engines, boilers, bells,
clocks, surgical instruments, carpen.
ters' tools, silk, wines and liquors,
canned fruits. cheese, and cured meats.
From time immemorial many of these
articles have been imported into the
country from necessity, but now Italian
industry, which seems to have gained
new versatility in new land, is not
only able to make them for themselves
and the people to whom they have
come, but also to make them, TO quote
the assertion of the United States rep.
resentative in Buenos Ayres, "with
such skill, workmanship, and finish
, that they would attract attention il
a ny market in the world"

RAILROAD DIsCRIMTNATIoN.- Dis
crImination by railroad companies in
favor Of cities situated at the end of
their lines has been a complaint all
over the country. These discrimina-
tions have tended to favor the great CEN
tres of trade and travel, and the smaller
cities have always felt more or less
agrieved in consequence. Wilmington
has experienced this discrimination, but
it appears that We have not been the
only sufferer. Baltimore has felt it SO
deeply that her citizens have resolved to
counteract it in very manly and spir-
tied manner. The Sun says:
tlL has been hindrance to Baltimore
| hitherto that Southern merchants pass
ing through the city to New York have
been prevented from stopping here by
| the limitation put upon their tickets by
several railroad companies. Tickets
reading "Via Baltimore" allow them to
stop SO short time that rather than
sacrifice the coupon from Baltimore to
New York they 60 on without stopping
Ito tine great loss Of Baltimore trade.
| To remedy this the Merchants and NJ an
ufactuIers' Association of Baltimore Of
| ter to all merchants from the South
travelling on the above-described limited
tickets, to gire unlimited tickets in ex.
change for the coupon good from Balti.
more to New York. Thus merchants
may stop over in Baltimore as long as
they may wish without loss to them
selves. All that they need to do is Il
call, Immediately on their arrival il
Baltimore, at the rooms of the associa
ton, on the southwest corner of Balti
more aud Howard streets. Thus it Il
hoped that the disadvantage TO whicl
this city IS put in competing with New
York for Southern trade will be to
certain extent remeded. 1t remain
now for Baltimore merchants to improve
their new opportunity. Merchants il
the South, who make Baltimore thei
objective point, will find tickets for sal
everywhere at rates as low il proper
Lion as the rates to New York.
