VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

A cheap IN valuable golden. yellow
dye heretofore being very scarce-has
been discovered. 1t is made from the
young wood of the different varieties OF
the poplar tree, and is very superior
The process is as follows; The young
branches are for this purpose cut off,
crushed and prayed, and then boiled in
alum water, in the proportion of ten
pounds of wood and one pound of pow
dered alum to three gallons of water;
the liquor is boiled from twenty minutes
to half an hour, and then filtered. In
cooling, it thickens and clears, throwing
down a greenish- yellow deposit of resin.
Gus matter, and when sufficiently clear
the filtering is repeated, and the liquor
left exposed to the air for three or more
days, according to the weather and the
atmosphere. 1t quickly oxidizes under
the action of light and air, and assumes
rich golden tint, in which state it can
be used for dying fabrics of all descrip.
tons,
For other delicate tints. other ingre-
dents, such as cochineal ana Prussian
blue, are added.

our Population.


The census Of the United States for
1880 reports the total population Of the
country at so, 1856, 1888. persons. This is
subject TO final corrections al the census
Office, but these are not likely TO mate.
rially affect the aggregate. The census
d1S70 showed population Of 3S, $685.
81, an increase OF 1857, Alp, or 30. 0s
per cent. in ten years. OF this increase
about 200, 900, or 7 per cent, was from
immigration, 80 that the natural increase
In population was about 23 per cent.
During the preceding decennial period,
which included the years Of civil strife,
the total increase in population was only
2265 per cent; from 1850 to 1860 IL was
35. II per cent; from 1910 to 1850 IL was
1888 per cent, and from 1880 to 1910 II
was 1882 per cent, showing pretty
uniform rate Of increase except In the
years of the war, when there was an alb.
normal waste Of life, and immigration
was reduced TO unusually low proper
tions. Should the next decennial period
show rate OF increase equal to the last,
our population in 1890 will reach &c..
100000. The rate of increase, however,
will be greatly affected by the amount
Of immigration, and this SO far has been
very large. There Of the Bureau Of
Statistics shows that for the year 1882
the number Of immigrants that
arrived at ten leading ports which
receive about 81 per cent. of the
total, was ne, SAP, Indicating that the
total Is about 784, 900. In 1881 the
number was 720. 045, and in 1880, $685.
70S, making an aggregate Of 2,074, 74S in
three years. The last census was taken
in June, 1880, and by next june three
years will haveexpired since that event.
As the natural increase in our popula-
tion ia about two per cent. per annum in
times Of peace, the accretion in three
years would be from this source $685.,
900, which, added to the 2,047 900 i'm
migrants that have arrived, will make
the total increase in population o, no.
600, 80 that by next June the United
States will have population Of about
65,250, 900. The immigration statistics
are for calender years, but those for the
fiscal years ending June S0th, are usually
quite as large, and for the current fiscal
year will probably be fully equal to those
Of the year ending June 30, 1880, so that
tht 10 npt hnttttu
thereby. From this il appears that in
about four months from this time we
will have upwards of So, 900, 900 of peo-
pie, and consequently our population at
this time cannot be less than 81, 500. 900
and may be more.
If immigration continues during the
remainder OF the decennial period at the
rate it Inns been during the last three
years, the population of the country in
1890 will reach 6S, 900, 900; but such is
not likely to be the case--in fact it is al.
ready falling off, the number of immi-
grants that arrived during the last half of
the year 1882 being 270,479, against
1923, 357 for the corresponding time in
1881, and the average for the ten years
will probably be reduced, but it will
still largely exceed the preceding de-
cennial period, when the total was
2,707, 200, or only 100000 more than
during the last three years. Gineihnati

Pacific Canned Goods.

Consul Leonard, at Leith, Scotland, in
an official communication TO the State
Department, says;
Packers do not deem to recognize the
fact that canned goods must be Of ire
proachable quality, and any that are not
so tend to depreciate these goods in the
country and ruin the sale OF such arti-
cles. Were Gamers to send only such
goods us are of irreproachable quality,
they would get better prices and main
tain trade which they will otherwise
lose. Fine goods in this country always
command sale, but the market is food
ed with inferior qualities, which do no
crel lit either to the packer or to mer-
chants who buy them and who regret
ever after having done 80. Pacific fruits
have made their way, and have com.
manded much better prices than have
those the Eastern States pack. While
No. cans of States peachs sell for IS
Cd Isl s2) to So Cd $500 per dozen, cans
of Pacific fruit are more easily salable at
lis I'd and lis Cd (S2. SOY to Fps 49,. 92)
per dozen. At the same time there have
been complaints of these, which are not
unfonnded, and which show that the
Pacific packers must look to the quality
if they wish to retain their position in
this market, In this respect deprecaie
the system of consigning goods, which
generally results in loss to eonsignors.
The market has been flooded with Pa.
citic canned fruits, which in many cases
have been sold below their value to COM
mand market. Packers of these and
other articles almost invariably ship their
seasons pack so soon as it 10 ready, and
the result of the large quantity coming
at once ON the market is a serious fall in
the price, while if they were to send
shipments at intervals sufficient to keep
the market supplied they would get
better prices
This Is an industry of some importance
here already, and is rapidly growing. 1t
is destined to reach large proportions in
few years. Gamers will do well to
note such information as the above.

Karl Blind, in nm article in the Vienna
Neue Ereie Prose-, notes the curious
fact that the recent revelations regard
ing Darwin religious opinions were only
noticed by three or four of the English
periodicals, and that even Mature sup
pressed Darwin's letter to Jena
student, which Haeckel had sent to the
editor as part of one of his lectures. In
this letter, il will be remembered, Oar.
win has stated verbatim: ''For myself,
do not believe that there has ever been
any revelation" and in conversation
with DIR. Ludwig Buohner, he said he
was with him in thought, but preferred
the word agnostic to atheist, and that
he had given up Christianity because
lit is not supported by evidence" Karl
Blind adds to this testimony another
item, in the form of a letter written by
Darwin in 1873 to a Dutchman, N. Doe
dies, OF which the following is transla-
ton from the German, as given in the
PreSse.' 81 find il impossible to
give brief answer to your
question. / do not know il
l should be able TO answer it if l
should write great deal about it. This
much can say, that the impossibility
of understanding how this great and
wonderful universe, besides our own
consciousness, could have come into ex.
istence through chance, seems to me to
be cur principal argument for the exist
ence of a God; but whether this argu-
ment is of any value have never been
able to decide; for / know that il we &c.
cept highest cause, the mind again
strives to know whence it came and how
it arose. Moreover, cannot pass over
the difficulty which, on this assumption,
arises from the vast amount of suffering
prevalent in the world | am, Indeed,
bid to attach certain amount of weight
to the judgment of the large number of
intelligent men who have implicitly be-
lieyed in God; but here n Gain see what
an insufficient kind OF proof this is. The
safest conclusion seems to be that the
whole subject lies beyond the range of
human understanding nevertheless, a
man may do his duty"
