A late bulletin issued from the State Depart.
ment, founded on official consular reports
compares the wealth Of the United States
with tina, Of other nations, with conclusions
IN the aggregate and concrete highly favorable
10 Us l,appears from this document, which
deals only IN round numbers, that while the
value Of all the live stock in the world-mean-
ing Europe and Americas 5000, 600, 900,
our share Is 81 500, 600, GOO, OF more than
third. While the value Of the grain product of
the world Is $1,000. 600 900, that oithe United
States is s., Ioo, GOO, COO, again more than
,hird. We consume rs per cent Of all the
meat that Is consumed; and y per cent Of all
the grain. Our total wealth, including all
kinds Of property, Is represented at $4,000
10000, against S4S 900, ooo, 900, foI Great
Britain, which Is the next richest country. In
the matter Of deb, the comparison is also "a.
voHable to the United Staies The funded
debts Of the siS great nations are stated foundly
as follows:
Countries Debts
Uniod Staies-...,. ...... si.6po,ooo,ooo
Great Britain ..-s.. 3,ooo,ooo,oo
France 30. .......-...., siooooo,oco
Rus,ia ...........- ....-.... s,o.aooo,ooo
Austria ......... soao 600 900
Germany Empire) ....-....-..... ooeoo,ooo
We owe So per cen, Of our wealth, while
England owes ga percent ana Nfcfmany per
cent. But the German imperial debt Is only
q small psTt-aboui one.tenth-of the debt
owing by the States which compose the empire,
and which was mainly created before the
empire. Prussia for example, owes nearly
S.oo 600 600, and Bavaria not Tar from $500
1000, Of which this Stale Department bulletin
makes no account in its statement Of the
German debt. II is, however, to be said in
favor OF these debts that most OF them are for
the purchase Of railways by the States, and
therefore represent 50 much property, which
implies revenue rather than taxation, and is
no, a burden upon the people, but rather 4
relief TO them. II IS also but fair that the debts
Of the States should be included in the state
ment Of our debt. In 1876 these were $3.50
10000. They increase our debt to nearly
$4,000, 10000, OF on a level with tina, Of
Russia OF Of Austria. But while our debt,
national and State, is so rapidly decreasing
that, with economy in administration, We can
see the end Of It before the close OF the present
century. the debisof al the other great nations
ba, England are rapidly increasing. -dVie,i6a

Evil Gossip.

Can the evil wrought by gossip
be estimated I We think not. A
wise woman can scarcely say too
little in company if the CONVERSE
tiOn trenches in the least on sean
dial. Many a social, noble-minded
woman has been obliged to With.
draw herself flom a neighborhood
intimacy which would have been
pleasant otherwise because her re.
marks are returned by some idle
tale-bearer, SO perverted as 10 make
her don6t the existence of genuine
friendship, and accept loneliness
for the sake OF the safety it brought.
You say we must talk sabout some
thing.7 Yes, and through that very
taot we ace a remedy for the evil,
to so thoroughly Interest ourselves
In other and better things that we
find no space TO spare for our neigh.
bors affairs. Let us talk OF our
work, our homes, our house-plants,
our books or our babies. Let us
teach our eyes to find beauty every.

stant swatehiulness to blemishes.
Never under any circumstances east

SHIP ISLAND RAILROAD.

A statement is going the rounds
which the ClarioH copied, that ne
gotiations for the construction of
the Cult and Ship Island railroad
were pending with prospects OF sue
cess, whether the company sue
ceeded in obtaining the land grant
rnot. We learn that tho annonnce.
ment was premature, and that the
negotiations we're not successful

The negotiations are still pend
ing and the prospect tor their ia,
yorable termination Is more than
fair.
We have reason to bellows tlmt
everal combinations OF capitalists
will compete for the privilege Of
building this road within the next
eight months,
The admirable charter secured
from the legislature OF 1882 assures
the early building of this road, and
the only great drawback lies in the
fact that an immense expenditure
must be incurred in building piers
etc., far enough out into the sound
to enable large craft to connect will

From the above it would seen
that the building of the long talked
of and much desired road is in the
near future. The editor of The En-
amimer is in position to know
whereof he speaks, and what hs
says can be relied on. The build

had been building since early in
1882, but the manner in which he
did the work We left unrecorded
until now. In March, 1882, Capt.
Smith commeuced building his
