We greatly regret that none are able
to finish the course Of study this year;
for it would greatly benefit the School,
both us to its reputation abroad, and
by its influence on the lower classes.
Still, graduation from a High School
ought 10 mean something, and there
could result only detriment and not
benefit from premature graduation.

ed for the gentlemen with a BRICK

from the smallness of their satchels it

TALLY one for the Northwestern COM
pany. Says the Dodgeville Chronicles
"The generous course of the G. 4 N.
w. Ry. Co., in dealing with the Good
Templars of this place in regard to
their excursion is so different from what
these 'soulless corporations are popu-
larry supposed to pursue, as to be
worthy of mention. The lodge had
contracted for six coaches, but the COM
pany, thinking they might need more,
sent them seven with the privilege of
using the extra one or not. Then when
the weather turned out bad, and they
found the lodge was going to lose
money, they telegraphed the conductor
to release them from taking but four
coaches, if no more were needed, and
leave the other three at Montfort.
Where (outside of n printing oflice)
will you find individuals pursuing a
more generous course in business tran
sactions than was pursued by the rail
road company in this case?"

The New York Herald illustrates by dia-
grams s,me interesting features OF the
population Of this country as suggested by
The census returns. A circle fourteen
inches in circumference is divided to show
the relative proportions OF the foreign born
and the native population, also the compar'
alive population Of the several States and
Ter itories.
Dy the census of 1880 the population ef
the United States was 90, l55,7o3, 4S,475,aO
being natives and G,67O,84 Of foreign birth.
OF the fourteen inches Of circumference
less than Two represent the entire foreign
born population, the remainder, more than
twelve inches, representing the native.
The whole foreign population is about
c1ual to the whole number ofpeople living
in New York, which has the largest foreign
element, and North Carolina, which has
the smallest. The German born popula-
tiou equals the combined population Of Cal
ifornia, Colorado, Delaware, Flor
ida, Kantas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Nevada, Oregon and Rhode Island; and
tho Irish born is about the same. The
Chinese Of the country and the population
Of Nebraska will just about balance; 80
with the English and Welsh and immi-
grants from British America aud the popu'
lation OF Missouri. Florida equals the
settlers from Norway and Sweden, and little
Delaware the French.
II males and females were separated
which we think unnecessary and which
certainly would be treating the ladies
shabbily-the men would require little
more room than the women, because there
are ST., 600 more Of them. Inthis country
there is meier Jill without a Jack, but
what is going to be done for the excess OF
Jacks 2 1t is plain that come of them are
doomed.
The colored people are about an eighth
Of the population. In Mississippi the
blacks outnumber the whites by III, 600; in
Louisiana by $4,000 and in South Caro-
lima by 905,OOO; though in each OF these
States the white Democrats are in political
control.
