the marble bust of Gen. Lee, now be-
ing made in Italy, is to be placed.
The elevated tombs are very numer-
Gus, and from an elevation look like q
great white city, with narrow streets
and tall church spires. In this city of
the dead the bodies of the rich are in
brick, granite and marble, while the
poor have place down in the earth,
even though saturated with water suf-
ticient to float the coffin that Is hut
six inches below the surface. The
walls of the cemeteries are about 10
feet thick, hOney-comhed with holes
into which bodies are placed feet fore
most, and the front bricked up. These
are for persons whose family " or friends
can pay 500 for the place. The
grounds devoted to cemeteries In the
outskirts of the city embrace about
300 acres. Within the body of the
city are several smaller and densGly
built up cemeteries of much older date,
the vaults of which are still used, but
no underground burials are permitted
therein.
Many of the wealthy families of this
city and the surrounding country are
now in poverty, having lost every
thing in the war, and are receiving
aid. from their more fortunate ac-
qnaintances and strangers, who have
taken their places in business. These
charities are so distributed that the
recipient has no knowledge of the
bounty, which is through society or
ganized for the purpose. A branch of
this society receives the work of these
needy people, sells it, and returns the
proceeds, thus utilizing their skill
without wounding their pride. The
management is largely in the hands
of the churches.
1 was very forcihly struck with the
vast resources of Southern Alabama,
which are yet to be developed, and
presume the same may he said of
other Southern States. The great for
ests of valuable timber have scarcely
been touched. A few small and insig-
nificant saw-mills may be seen at long
intervals in the midst of vast pine for
ests, where timbers can be had from
the largest ship-mast down to the
railroad tie. These great pine forests
cover the country for hundred miles
north Of Mobile, SO dense and heavy
that no underbrush is to be seen
nothing but tall, straight, branchless
pines growing out of a gently undu-
lating surface. Capital and enterprise
could here gather fortune in short
time, for the market for lumber and
timber is good, and railroad transpor-
tation to that market is available.

The official figures of foreign immi-
grafton into the United States for the
year 1881 present some facts, and fore
shadow the probability of others, that
are really startling. The total num-
Der of immigrants that came to the
United States in the year was $4,000.
During the latter part of the year, and
especially in December, this tide was
about 81 per cent. greater than during
the corresponding periods of 1850. The
disturbed state of Europe, and espec-
tally in Germany, from which about
one-third of our foreign immigrants
come, makes it probable that the in
crease In 1882 over 1881 will be even
greater than that of 1881 over 1850,
and consequently that during the
current year we shall receive consid-
arably over l,OOO,0OO foreign immi-
grants.
When we consider that In this
country the natural increase Of pOpu-
Iation by the excess Of births over
deaths doubles the resident popula-
ton in less than twenty-five years,
it will he seen that 1t would re-
quire only about thirty years of the
present influx Of population, together
with the natural increase, to amount
to number equal to the. total pres
ent.population Of the United States
and Territories, or about so, ,OO0, 900. II
to this we add the natural Increase OF
the present population, at . rate Of
doubling every twenty-five years
(which Is even longer that 1t really
requires), II would give total popu-
lation Of not less than l60,O00,0 ono In
1911. When we think that 1t has ta-
ken 200 years for the accumulation OF
the present 5O,OOO.0O0 Of population of
the United States, Ii seems almost
incredible that within the lifetime
Of the great majority Of men now
living the population will be over 3
times as great as now, and yet u seems
almost beyond question that this will
be the case. Population increases with
such enormous rapislity, not only In
America. hut in all parts of the globe.

"More men," says the Springfield
NlI,) Journal, "were lynched last year
in the United States than were hung
according to law" This is probably
true; but it Is not because the Ameri-
can people are "a blood-thirsty, law
less mob" 1t is amply explained by
the fact that many criminals slip
away from justice that people become
disgusted with the laws delays and
uncertainties, and take rash punish
ment into their own hands. The "jury
fixer," the chicanery of criminal law
yers, the technicalites and defects "f
the law itself all combine to release
the criminal. In proportion as muir
derers are shielded and spared ''under
the law" will the community he dis
posed to despatch them outside of the
law. Every pardon, reprieve or COM
mutation of sentence, every writ OF
superdeseas that is issued, and every
new trial that is granted to convict
ell murderer, and every disagreement
of Jury that is announced in mur-
der case, is contribution to the spir-
it Of lawlessness, and to lynch-law
methods of dealing with criminals.

poison in his granary to rid of mice.

THE STAR ROUTE TRIALS.
Mr.. Wilson Continues His Argu-
mens for the Defense.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-Mr. Wilson, Of
counsel for the defendants, continued his
argument in the star route cases to-day.
After charging the prosecution with lawless-
ness in asking the jury to disregard the wise
rules laid down for the protection of citi-
zens, Mr.. Wilson said that if It were true. as
charged by Mr.. Merrick, that the defend
ants conspired to defraud the gov
ernme lent in the fall of 1877, the
case Of the government must fall to
the ground, since the statute of limitations
would bar action for an offense committed
at that time. He then took up the charge
OF alleged conspiracy, and said 1t must be
proved beyond any possible doubt. Guilt
must not be inferred. 1t must be shown by
the evidence, which is utterly inconsistent
with any theory of innocence. S1ch evil
dence, ne declared, the government had not
produced. He denied that the defendants
had ever come together again after the first
division II routes between them, and de-
tended the action of Brady in expediting
routes at the request Of army officers, Sena-
tors and most eminent citizens of the re-
gions TO be benefited thereby. He contend
ed that the petitions on which such expedi-
tion was ordered were not manufactured,
and that the affidaUts were not false.
He reviewed in detail the evidence con-
cerning the Bismarck and Tongue river
route, which, he said, was the F'raW head
and bloody bones" of this case, and declared
that there was nothing In it upon
which to base a charge of conspiracy or
fraud. 1t was the duty of the government
to consider the needs Of the country as well
as the prOductiveness of the service, and
the latter was no more primary considera-
ton than the former. Because the service
on given route cost more than it produced
in revenue, it did not prove that Brady was
a cOnspirator.
Before Mr.. Wilson concluded his argu-
ment the court adj burned.
