THE SEXES IN AUsTRAIIA.-The tendency of
the two SEXES to equalise their comparative num-
bers is well attested by the returns of population
in the Australian colonies since they have begun
to increase in material prosperity. Twenty
years ago preponderance of male over female
~colonists was exceedingly large, the totals being
for the whole of Australia 1877 900 men against
527 900 women. The difference row is rather
less, the totals recorded IN 1879 being 500 900
against l,2l6, 900. 1t is, however, somewhat
remarkable that during the later portion Of the
time, under consideration this equalising process
has not been going on with anything like the
rapidity noticeable before. Ia fact, the tendency
was rather in the opposite direction for whereas
the proportion Of men to women in 1861 was
about 10 to 7, and in 1871 about l04 to 81 in
1870 it was nearly as much as 10 to 8. But in
the case of the colonial districts, which are i'm
proving most rapidly, the assimilation is still going
on with full force. Thus. in New Zealand, which
shows a very high rate of increase in general
population, the proportion of women rises from
80 to more than A per cent, whereas in the
more old established districts, where they are
larger towns, it remains almost stationary. In
New South Wales and Victoria the rates have
varied very slightly, either in period Of eight or
the period of eighteen years, and during the
whole time have been fixed at about FIVE men to
every four women.- Globe.

The Argonaut.
(Frona the Wasp of San Francisco.

From the Wasp Of San FTdnoiSco.)
1t is believed at the time we write that the
President will veto the bill, and give our
formidable contemporary another opportu-
nifty to make war upon the General Gov
eminent, which he will doubtless de if not
prevented by an engagement elsewhere, as
by some remarkable fatality it has hereto
fore happened that he was. Fol ourselves
men of peace-we shall deeply regret a
veto by the President, but we will not fight.
We do not care to see this town blown to
dust and rubbish by the guns of Alcatraz,
nor to have one of the tenth-rate ships of
the United States navy steam into port and
capture our State militia. We beg the Sec
rotary of War, the Secretary of the Navy
and all in authority at Washington, to take
notice that the Wasp will submit; that
there is no fight in us at all that the more
the President exercises his constitutional
power, adversely to our interests, the more
meekly loyal we shall become. We have
not forgotten the history of ~1S61-1S65, when
ten millions failed to accomplish against
twenty millions what it is now thought that
one million may accomplish against forty
nine millions. True. the ten millions had
not the advantage of assistance from the
editor of the Argondut. He was not then
a rebel.

passed his thirtieth birthday only last
December. He is the elder of August
Belmont's two sons. His brother
August was married some months ago.
Perry is still unmarried, and his
friends say he is rapidly becoming a
confirmed old bachelor. He is re-

hard student, and the time that most
young men of his class gave to the
designations Of fashionable life he has
largely devoted to books. He is a
lawyer by profession, and, considering
his youth, his legal attainments are
said to be very creditab!e. He has
always had taste for politics, and
has contributed several articles on
public questions to periodicals like
the International Review. He was
elected to Congress, as a Democrat, by
two thousand majority from the First
District, which includes the counties
of Suffolk, Richmond and Queens. He
graduated from Harvard College in
1872, was admitted to the bar in 1876
and has since been engaged in the
practice Of his profession. His mother
