From the London Telegraph, May 10, 1850.
When, in 1876, the thirteen North Amer
lea colonies put forth that Declaration of
Ind -%pendence which preluded the birth of
a nation, the combined white population
%inhabiting them did not exceed $4,000 0
souls. Yet they had the courage to throw
down the gage of battle to a Power with
'hich, in Daniel Webster's words, "for
purposes of foreign conquest and subjuga-
ton, Rome, in the height of her glory, was
not to be compared a Power which has
d. tied the surface of the whole globe with
1e- possessions and military posts, whose
morning drum beat, following the sun and
keeping company with the hours, circles
the earth with one continuous and I'M
bro1cn strain of martial airs of England"
Fourteen years later came, in 1890, the
fl census of population taken in the
United States, and it was found tina with
- Tho borders of the young nation there
were not quite 100000 souls. At the ex-
7iration of ten years it appeared, upon
taking the second census, that the popula-
lion was a little more thar 5,25O,00O, hay-
ing increased between 1890 and 1900 at the
rate of 35 per cent. In a short time the
tenth census of what has become a mighty
people will be taken, and we risk little in
saying that, in Joseph Hume's phrase, "the
tottle Of the whole. will show a population
Of at least 100000 especially if the emf
grants who are now pouring into the United
States in vast numbers are not omitted
from the calculation. In other words, the
population of the great Republic in 1880
will be their population in 1776 multiplied
by twenty, and, were it likely that the
same ratio of increase could be maintained
for another century, the mind of man
would sink before the effort of imagining
what it is possible for the monster Repub-
tic to be in 1880. However boundless the
resources of the North American continent
may be, it can hardly be expected that the
second centenary of the United States will
&c celebrated by a thousand million hui
nan beings, and yet such would be the re-
suit Of multiplying 50,OOO,OOO by twenty.
Anyhow, it is certain that Il century hence
no such assemblage of men speaking the
same language and dmenablc to the same
general traditions of feeling, habit and
education, will ever have gathered together
upon Garth as will then occupy the great
Western Continent,

Too Many Studies In the Public Schools.

"Our schools are burdened with too
many studies, ologies, isms, and crotchets
of eccentric examiners, who exact of
others what they could never do them
selves" lately said an experienced
teacher in the fublic schools and there
was ample justification for the remark.
A boy or girl who has only a few
years to spend in school, and who must
leave it 10 earn a living, has no time to
waste in learning things not necessary,
and hardly time to pursue those branches
which are the prime objects OF rudi-
mentary training. Our most intelligent
and faithful principals of grammar
schools are we'll aware of this fact, and
would gladly simplify the course of in
struction, but they are powerless to do
it. Crotchety trustees and commission
ers have fine theories of education,
which they are bound to try at the ex-
pense of both teachers and pupils.
