European Population.


Enough is already known OF the re-
suits of the German census, taken on
December l last, to enable German
statisticlans and publiclsts to institute
comparisons and draw differences as to
the relative growth OF population in the
various countries of Europe. During
the last five years the population OF
Prussia has increased by 3.79 per cent.
This is not as high a rate as during the
preceding q~uinquennial periods. Dur
ing the eighteen years from 1867 te
1885 the population of Prussia had in.
creased by 1877 per cent, which gives
an annual average increase of 0.9lS pei
cent. The annual rate of increase IN
Austria Hungary during the clever
years from 1869 to 1880 quo later figures
are available) was only 0.49. In Italy
the annual increase for the decade 1871.
1881 was 0.60 per cent. In France
(omitting Aigiers and the co~lonies). the
annual rate of increase for the fifteen
years from 1866 to 1881 was 0.15 per
cent. In Great Britain and Ireland,
for the decade from 1871 to 1881, the
annual increase was 1.01 per cent. In
European Russia, including Finland
and the Don Cossacks, in the thlrteer
years from 1867 to 1880 the average an
nual increase was 1873 per cent

cover breadth OF about two, making
some ten square miles, which before
the advent Of the phylloxera pro-
duced 100000 gallons of first crust

and gravelly sand, resting on clay or

dark, Is brilliant and velvety, and sus-

an admirable bouquet Of it own. 1t
has been called the Burgundy Of the
Bordeaux country, and that is not bad
name for it, meeting halfway, as it does,
the good wines Of the Medoc and those
of Bourgogne. St. Emilicn gains in
excellence up to 10 years in bottle, is
in perfection up to 20 years of age, and
will last 40 or so.

ROCKY MOUNT, Va, May 3, 1886.
The fair weather brought out large
attendance on court to-day. Among
the strangers present were Colonel d. +.
Houston, president Of the newly-organ-
lied Roanoke and Southern Railroad
Company, and Colonel John E. Penn,
who addressed the people in the interest
of that road. Mr.. Peter Saunders also
discussed the question Of county sub
scription in its behalf. The interest Of
our citizens in this enterprise is grow
ing.
A meeting was held here Saturday
night at which resolutions were passed
condemning in earnest language the use
of coupons in the payment of taxes,
and urging our people to withhold their
patronage from those who take this
means of discharging their obligations
to the Commonwealth. An effort will
be made to secure pledges from all of
the merchants in the county not to deal
with drummers or business-houses who
have used coupons.
The exceedingly low price Of tobacco
is the cause Of great embarrassment to
;ae planters. In many cases the crop
has not sold for enough to pay for the
fertilizer. Wheat and grass are I'M
usually promising. FRANKLIN.
