In an article on the comparative growth
of nations, the New York Tribune e.
marks: About 100000 inhabitants ha We
been added to the population uring the
past year by immigration, and l ,47O, coo
since the last census was taken. Du ring
the last decade the increase was 2,S12 100,
by immigration, leaving S,785, ,222 for
the increase oy excess of births over
deaths. More than half as many immi-
grants as were received during the whole
of that decade have arrived within the
two fiscal years which ended last Friday,
and the population of the United States
must now be about 53:S00,000 Recent
enumerations of population in Great
Britain, France and Italy enable US to con-
trast the growth of this with other nations
In ten years Great Britain has gained IN
population about 8, 100000 in two years
the United States has probably gained
about 100000 In ten years France
gained /, 100000, having lost to Germany
a population of about 100000 Ger
many, with that increase, gained lees than
4, 100000, or about 100000 from other
causes, so that the joint increase of both
Germany and France, with II 600 600
of people ten years ago, has been less
+bo,o ono bole Ornotnr in ten wears than
that of the United States has been IN the
two years just ended Austria gained
from 1869 to 1880 only 1881 900 inhab-
itants, and Italy from 1871 to 1881 only
l 1,651 900, so that their joint increase n
ten years was less than that of the Uni
ted States has been in two years.

In the first terrible winter spent by the
Pilgrims at Plymouth, in Massachusetts,
the seeds Of pulmonary diseases were
planted, and took deep root in families
which became the progenitors of thous-
ands of the American people. The pre-
valence of consumption, thus early de-
veloped, directed the attention of the
most eminent phyicians and scientific
men to an investigation of its cause and
the means of prevention and cure. The
best results Of professional studies on this
subject are combined in DR. j. G. Ayers

Senator Voorhees, of Indiana, set an
investigation on foot few weeks ago
that did not turn out at all as the 'tall
Sycamore of the Wabash" anticipated it
would. He introduced resolution in
structing the Committee on Military Af-
fairs to inquire and report whether the
law which provides for giving disabled
Union soldiers the preference in employ
ment about the Capitol had been faith
fully observed. The committees report
shows that the law has been enforced by
the House, where the Republicans are in
the ascendency, but in the Senate, which

to any alarming extent. In the House the

appointed upon the recommendation of
the Democratic Senators from Indiana,
