On the third ofApril last the usual
decennial census was taken by the
agents of the registrar-general in
England, Ireland, Scotland and
Wales. The report of population has
Just been made public. The grand

the date we have mentioned, inclnd-
ing the army and navy, and the

excess of females over males was
7SS,66S, The total increase of popu-
lation since the census of 1871 has
been 3,401,lSS. The population of
England alone is 24,608,391. London
has a population of 3,S14,571, and
Scotland of 3,734,37O, so that the
population of London exceeds that
of Scotland by SO,2O1. Wales has a
population of 1882 1895, the Isle of
Man 5S,492, the Channel Islands ST.
7S1. The army, navy and mer-
chant service give an aggregate re-
turn of 242, 844. The population of

The household now called to the
White House has no lady presiding
over it. President Arthur lost his
wife a year ago last January, and
acute feeling over her loss is among
the sad reflections which press upon
the president at this time. She was
the daughter of Lieutenant Gem
mander Herndon, of the United
States navy, who went down on his
ship, the Central America. A gold
medal, in recognition of his BRAY
ery, was voted by congress to
his widow, and monument
to his memory was erect
ed in the Naval Academy
grounds at Annapolis. Arthur
married Miss Herndon in the early
part of his career as a lawyer in
New York city. He has two chill
dren, one youth of seventeen named
after his father, but called Allen by
the family; the other girl eleven
named Nellie. The president has
one brother, Major William Arthur
of the regular army. He has three
married sisters. OF these Mrs.
Mary McElroy, of Albany, will most
probably be the lady who will pre-
side in the White House.

Cotton Manufacturing North and
South. ~.

The growth of cotton manufac-
turing IN this country is subject of
deep interest. Nearly one-third of
the cotton crop of the United States
has in recent years been manufac-
tured at home. The increase of the
production of cotton has been
marked, but has not Outgrown
manufacturing. In 1879 this crop
amounted to 3,832,911 bales. The
amount manufactured was 10000
bales. In 1880-81 the crop amount
ed to the unprecedented figures
of 100000 bales, of which 1892, 900
bales were manufactured in the
United States. Until last year the
increase in manufacturing kept
about even pace, north and south. In
1880 the amount manufactured in
the United States was 100000 bales,
of which the north is credited with
1,625,000 bales, and the south
10000 bales; while in 1880-81 the
whole number of bales manufactured
in this country was 1,892,000 bales ;
the north was credited with ,677 900
bales and the south 100000 bales.
During the last named year, it will
be observed that while the increase
in manufacturing in the north was
less than 4 per cent, the increase in
the south was over 20per cent. This
may be an exceptional showing, but
is believed to be the beginning of an
era of manufacturing in the south
which will continue till the prepon-
derance in favor of the northern Sec
ton no longer exists. The impulse
given to this industry in the south
is supposed to rest upon sufficient
economical causes whose operations
are not only beginning to be felt,
but which will work out most inn
portant results in the years to come |;
and as ends are now achieved, with
the facility of steam and electricity,
the fruition will not be many years
deferred.-St. Louis Republican.
