The Foreign Element.

The composite nature of the Ameri-
can population is shown in various ways
by the tables of the census of 1880,
which, in this department, may be re-
garded as reasonably correct, however
many faults there may be in other de-
partments. The figures concerning the
great cities of especial significance, be-
cause each of them is a center of politi-
cal power, and their population is con-
tinually growing by the influx of for
eigners seeking political advancement,
and of natives from the rural districts
who seek more active spheres for their
ventures in legitimate business, in spec
ulation, and also in politics. Looking
through the census tables, we find that
Philadelphia has larger proportion-of
native inhabitants than any of the large
cities, except some of those inthe South
ern States like Baltimore, Now Orleans
and Louisville.
In New York the foreign inhabitants
are about 40 per cent, in Brooklyn
about 80, in Boston about 81, in Chicago
about 40 (or the same as New York; in
Buffalo and Jersey city about 80, in
Cleveland and Newark nearly 40, in
Cincinnati about 80; while in Philadel-
phia they are only about IS per cent. Of
the whole population. On the basis OF
these facts it may rightly be claimed
that Philadelphia is more distinctly
American than any of the cities named.
Comparison with New York exhibits
the composition OF the two cities in
more detail, and we give this condensed
table showing the countries of which the
respective inhabitants of the two cities
were natives at the time of the census oi
1890 was taken:

GraYitation, d h nniYaraal2

1t will be desirable to commence with
that great doctrine in astronomy which
is often regarded as almost universally
established. The doctrine to which we
refer IS known as the law of universal
gravitation. It is customary to. enun-
eiate this law in the proposition that ey-
cry particle of matter attracts every
other particle of matter with force
which varies directly as the product Of
the masses and inyersely as the SQUARE
OF their distance. 1t is no doubt CON
yenient to enunciate the great law in
this very simple manner. It MIGHT
seem awkward 10 have to specify all the
qualiflcations which would be necessary
Il that enunciation is TO assert no more
ehan what we absolutely. know. Per-
maps many people believe, or think they
DeheVe, the law to be true in its general
form; yet the assertion that the law of
gravltauon is universally true is an
enormous, indeeaSsan infinite, exagger-
atlon OF the actual extent of our infor-
nation. ags r
10 make this clear, let us contest the
law OF gravitation as generally stated
with the proposition which asserts that
the earth rotates on its axis. No one
who is capable OF understanding the ey-
ldence on the question can doubt that
the earth really does rotate upon its ak
IS purposely set aside any difficulties
OF a aquasi-metaphysical character, and
speak merely of words in their ordinary
aeceptation. In stating that the earth
rotates upon its axis, we assert merely
a definite proposition as regards one
body, all the facts which the assertion
involves are present to our minds, and
we know that the assertion must be
true. Equally conclusive is the evi-
dence for the statement that the earth
revolves around the sun. Concrete
truths of this kind could be multiplied
indefinitely. We can make similar as
sernons with regard to the planets. We
can assert that the planets rotate upon
their axis, and that the planets revolve
around the sun. But the law of gravi-
tation is q proposition of quite differ
ent nature. Let US examine briefly the
evidence by which this law has been es-
tablisbed. Robert S. Bah, IN Popular
Science Monthly.

She obeyed and crossed the Atlantic

looked forward anXiously to hear her
voice. The next day | told her how de-
sirous Adelaide was to hear her sing,
but, knowing her artistic temperament,
she would not urge her to do so. After
much hesitation. Mathilde said: oh, |

Open Gaming,

'iov The Business is Carried on In New York Civ,
Gambling is booming again in New
1ork. In the belt across bounded hy
Park place on the north and Liberty
street on the south, there are now no
less than seventeen games in full blast
every week day from early in the after
noon until 10 O'Clock, aud sometimes
until midnight. There are only two or
three of these run on bank as small az
$4,000. Their general capital is 80.
9Oo, and there are three or four of them
with doabie that amount constantly in
the drawer to tempt all corners; but
there IS net one now in the CITY that
hhds ii necessary to have a bank of
$4,000, as-one big uptown Morrissev
combination game did during the war.
1hat game has now reduced its capital
IN hand to $4,000. In Broadway and
Iwenty-sixth street are two, at least. of
the heaviest games in New York at this
time. The proprietors of one of these
also run a big day game in Fulton
street, and during the summer season
carry on the establishment formerly run
by John Monissey at Saratoga The
season at Saratoga is short, but very
lively while it lasts, from $500 to
$50, 900 changing hands every night.
Midnight suppers are no longer the
feature they were before the war. Tie
gambler may offer to the player with
whom he is acquainted social glass OF
very good liquor or a fine cigar, but he
no longer thinks of tempting custom by
bird suppers and expensive wines. 1t
Is said by gamblers in this line of play
that the percentages in the banks favor
with the way the game is now played do
not allow sufficient margin of profit
for them to indulge in any such extrav-
agance. In one very old gaming house
III Barclay street two meals are set each
day tor the employees and partners OF
the house, and if any patrons are pres
ent at the time of the meal they are
welcome to partake, but there is no
marked endeaVor To get up particu-
larry attractive spread. Three of the
best uptown games still have midnight
Suppers for their employees, at which
players are invited to share, but the
supper5 are not feas:s The limit of the
game has been much reduced since the
war. Then in two or three of the larger
games it was $3.50 to eases and 5000 to
doubles. Now it is down So that the
highest, apart from some rare exception,
al case, is only 500 to eases and s'20G
to doubles.
Policy, although by no means wiped
out, is very far from being what it was
two years ago, when nearly 800 ollite
flourlshed in New York. Now ther,
are not more than 200 Offices! A fea
