LIVE STOCK IN THE UNITED STATES.

The census bulletin giving the statis
tics of animals on farms in the United
States, June 1, 1880, shows that the in
crease of live stock since 1870 has been
much greater than that of population,
but a good deal less than the advance III
the yield of corn. While the growth of
population was thirty per cent. and of
corn production hundred and thirty
one, the rate of increase of horses was
forty-five per cent, mich COWS thirty
nine, cattle sixty-six, sheep tweDty-four
and swine ninety. The increase of sheep
is apparently less than that of pc ula-
ton, but in reality it is believed + be
greater, owing to the fact that the census
returns of 1870 include large number
or spring la1nbs which are wholly ex-
cluded from the statistics of 1880. The
leading wool growing states are Cali
fornia with four and Ohio with five mil
lion sheep. But it is noteworthy that
while the number has increased fifty per
cent. In the former state it has decreased
one per cent. In the latter. In Texas,
Colorado, Nevada and several of the
territories there has been a most encour-
aging development of this industry.
Texas is still the great cattle state, but
In the rate of increase it has been sur
passed by most of the other states. Iowa
leads in swine, being credited with one
eighth of all in the United States, and
showing the enormous increase of nearly
three hundred and fifty per cent. The
magnitude of the dairy industry in New
York is shown by the return of million
and half COWS, which is nearly double
the number reported in any other state.

D. A. Tinh1J and Christine A. Morrison sup
posed to be the only survivors of the Canadian
propeller Asia, which foundered on Georgian
Bay, Lake Huron, on the night of the 18th, ar
rived at Collingwood, Ont, on the 18th, having
suffered severely from exposure They report
that the steamer was struck by . gale at II
O'Clock on the night of the 14th, and after
laboring heavily for about half an hour, she was
overwhelmed by heavy sea which sent her to
the bottom. THINKS was taken into Purser
McDougal's boat, which contained seventeen
survivors. The boat rolled over very soon,
however, drowning all but seven. The water
dashed over the boat continually and gradually
the unfortunates began to die from exposure.
Captain Savage expiring in Tinhis' arms shortly
after midnight The boat finally stranded at
daylight near Point au Barrie, and the two sur
vivors started for Collingwood. They spent
the first night on the sand, but next day an In
dian took them in charge and brought them to
the city. The Asia was bound for French River
with men and horses for the numbering camps.
1t is thought that about 100 persons were on
board. Tinhis reports that he saw three boats
leave the wreck but as nothing has been heard
from them it is supposed that all were drowned
or persisted from exposure.

LOSSES BY FIRE.

According to the figures published by
the Commercial Bulletin and the In
surance Chronicle, 1882 has been SO far
an extraordinary year In the extent OF
ravages by fame throughout the coun-
try. The estimated losses for the first
eight months foot up more than sixty
one million dollars in excess of the total
for the same months of last year and
nearly seven millions greater than the
average loss for the corresponding per-
iod of the four years ending with 1881.
The July record of losses was higher
this year than ever before, except in
1866, the year of the Portland fire, and
the August record higher than in any re-
cent year, except 1881. The destructive
progress made by fame in the last five
years is shown by the fact that the esti
mated losses for August have increased
from less than six millions in 1878 to
eight millions IN 1881, while the aggre-
gate losses for eight months have grown
from forty-six million dollars in the for
mer year to more than sixty-one millions
In the latter. These are not encouraging
figures to either property owners or I'M
derwriters, although the increase is in
no small measure a natural one due to
the growth of population, the multiple
cation of buildings and the advance In
the value of property.

OUR EARNINGS AND SAVINGS.

According to Mr.. Edward Atkinson,
but half of the $4,000, 900 people of the
United States can be reckoned in the
working force of the nation. The earn
ings of this working force, male and fe-
male, cannot exceed an average of 81 a
day each for the 365 days of the year, SO
that the annual income of the people, In
round numbers, is $40, 900, 100000. He
estimates that the sustenance of our pop
ulation averages As cents day for each
man, woman and child, so that 90 cents
of every dollar earned is consumed,
leaving but 10 per cent. of the animal
earningsto maintain existing capital and
increase the nations wealth. His opin-
ion is that the increase in wealth is less
than 1000, 900 annually. His purpose
In this exhibit is to encourage econo-
my. Learn to work more thoroughly,
more savingly; to raise as much as pos
sible with as little waste as possible, is
his Injunction. The lesson which he
teaches is the one which of all peoples
on earth the people of the United States
need to learn.

THE CLIMATE OF THE NILE DELTA.

The military operations in Egypt
have recently invested the climate of the
Nile delta with SO much interest that the
results of a seven years series Of obser-
vations made under the auspices Of the
Austrian Meteorological Society in that
region have been published in England.
It appears from these reliable data that
the hottest weather of the year occurs in
the Nile delta OF tl.o end Us 9ePtOraher
and in the first half of October, SO that
Sir Garnet Wolseley's troops have yet to
pass through the most trying climatic
ordeal of the campaign. At Alexandria
the highest recorded temperature is 1O3
degrees, but at Cairo the maximum ex-
ceeds 116, and the daily alterations of
heat, which, perhaps, most severely test
the health of an army, are also consider
ably greater. Though the coast Of the
Nile delta receives few winter showers"
says Keith johnson, 'Ethere is only an
average of thirteen rainy days in the
year at Cairo, in the apex of the delta. Z"
The Austrian meteorological series shows
that the average rainfall, while nothing
at all III the three summer months, is
carcely appreciate in September even
at Alexandria. It is, of course, useless
for Arab Bey to hope for any serious
discontinue to the British army by ex-
posure to the severe autumn climate of
Egypt. But, as the maximum rise of
the Nile generally occurs in October at
Cairo, and the British troops will in
creasingly suffer until then from the ter
rible heat, the decisive operations of the
campaign may be considerably delayed.
The Russian army IN its advance toward
Khiva in the campaign of 1839-40 ex-
perlenced yiclssitudes of temperature
from heat of o7er 100 degrees to a cold
OF 40 degrees below zero, and Khiva
owed It's safety to the climate of the
nelghboring deserts. But the present
case is very different, and the issue in
the Nile Valley must be decided by 9TH
er than natural forces.

TIE BRITISH SERVICE.

Although service is not compulsory in
the British army, says the New York
Times, no difficulty has ever been expe-
rienced In finding officers who, indeed,
up to very few years ago, were ready
to pay large sum to enter it. and in
many cases for each successive step.
DIR. johnson believed that most men en-
tered the navy too young to realize how
undesirable career lay before them.
and staid in it because they discovered
their mistake too late to enter another
profession. This, probably, holds good
IN the case of the army too, and applies
to the professions here as y7eu as in Eng
land, these being the only considerable
countries where service is purely volun-
tary. Upto 30 there is doubtless great
charm to an active, healthy youth, averse
to confinement in military life, and the
attractions are enhanced by becoming
uniform. Yet the profession is not one
which IN any country many men find to

FrighffuI Massacre.

Shortly after the Gillian forces left Tarma,
Peru, an immense horde of guerllIas poured IN
to the city and scene of riot and carnage en-
sued. Many well-to-do families had deserted
their homes and followed the CHILEAN troops.
The residences of fugitives were stripped.
Those of many foreign residents met the same
fate. Many assassjnations occurred. In the
midst of drunken orgies Tarma was
reduced to ruins with the object of
burning the properties of foreigners
and Chilianized Tarmanians. All the town was
burned. The cities of Jauja and Huancayo
shared the fate of Tarma. At Conception the
Chilian garrison of twenty-seven made noble
resistance but were overpowered and slaugh-
tered. -Four wOmen-Wives of soldiers. eye
witnesses of their husbands fate, one of them
accompanied by her son of 5 years, another by
an infant who had come into the world at the
commencement of the attack-went out into
the square, hoping their lives would be spared.
They had hardly stepped outside the building
when they were set upon by the mob and hor
ribly butchered. The 5-year-old had his
throat cut from ear to ear and was barbarously
mutilated, and the body of the new born child
was found pierced with six lance wounds.
When the Chilian troops arrived few days af-
terpard they found in the square and adjacent
streets 291 OF the enemy's dead. The wounded
were double that number and were carried off
tc the hills. The Gillian dead were collected
and buried. The city was burned and every
body implicated in the massacre who could be
found was summary executed.

wear well. The officers of the House
hold Brigade in England, who have six
months leave, enjoy for the most part
competent means, and very rarely go
further than Dublin, at worst, have an
altogether exceptional life, as compared
with the rest, who have to pass long
years sweltering under an Asian or Afri-
can sun, often to return home in the yell
low leaf with shattered constitutions,
but without glory, to exc out the rest of
their days in straitened circumstances In
the cheapest places they can find to rear
their families, thus presenting
about as sharp a contrast as can
well be imagined with the dashing cor
net or ensign, who at 20 saw himself at
SO, in his minds eye, Gen. Sir -, G.
@. c., covered with honor and glory.
Few and far between, indeed, are the
prizes, reflection which no doubt
served to color the venomous attack
made by Col. Alexander lately in the
house of commons on what he stigma
tized as "The Ashantee Ring" When
he averred that no officer got chance
unless he belonged to the pets of Sir
Garnet's staff. Here are hundreds of
men who have for years been studying,
working, doing all that lay in their
power, to qualify themselves for efficient
service, only to find themselves compul-
sorily retired on pittance at so, with
the reflection that they have lived for
nothing. No wonder, that jealousy and
chagrin crop out. Probably in no pro-
fession does great merit oftentimes get
SO little chance of evincing itself, while,
on the other hand, very little mistake
serves to mar a reputation and lay man
permanently on the shelf. There is
Lord Chelmsford, for instance. He was
found fault with in South Africa, and his
name is now not mentioned. The cha
grin, too, is aggravated by the leisure to
indulge it. There is plenty of disap-
pointment, we all know, in other lines of
life, but rarely the time that there is in
the army to brood over it, with those of
fellow-feeling, day and night. The
worst point about the profession is that
it is perpetual waiting for a calamity
which may never arrive, and which
everybody ought to hope will never ar
rive, but which nevertheless everybody
