The tendency of tile large cities and
towns of tile United States to grow at
the expt nse of the country is mani
tested by tile last census. In 1870 we
had lS4 cities with population of
10. QUO and over; their aggregate popu-
E,tion was I 81, 233; in 1880 we had
245, With a total population of i, l00,-
20i. Dining the decade the gain in
he country population WAS ll.594,-
IsS. showing that nearly a third OF the
increase was in the cities. Going fur
tier back. we find the growth of the
c ties at the expense of the country is
constantly becoming more MAJ ked.
Taus in 1880 our urban population was
ABOUT one xteenth of the whole; in
1850 it hal grown to one-righth; in
1870 it was oae-tifIh; in 1880, one-fou' tn
This increase IN city population IS IN
tie face of the rust of immigration To
the country. and uf the fact tlHit mon
eGsrv coHvulsions have the effect of
forcing tile city population into the
country. The worst phase of this in
eresse of the III ban population is that
4 large portion of it is composed of
young men who rush to the cities to-
escape the drudgery of farm life. As
i rule. however, they only add TO the
namber Of book keepers struggling for
employment.-Ckscaso Ass7s.

In New York, according to the sta
tistics of the State prisons, to sentence
Il man to one Of these institutions is to
sentence him to insanity. The sen
tpnce not only carries with it bodily
punishment, but such mental torture
rs to present some most startling re-
suits. Thus the superintendent of
the State Asylum for the Insane at
Utica reports that the proportion of
insane among convicts is ten times
greater than among all the people Of
the State, and that OF convicts SEN
fenced to imprisonment for life the
enormous proportion of fourteen per
cent. become insane.
