Few Large Cities.

1t will hardly be thought that there
are not on the whole globe fifty cities
containing 200, 900 people; but such is
the fact, and any one may convince him
self of it by consulting geographical
dictionary. 1t would seem ut first that
there must be at least POO cities of
100000 population; but there is not,
| repeat. one-fourth the number. OF
these Great Britain has about nine;
France. three; Italy. four; Germany
(proper), five or six; China, some nine;
India, eight or nine. and the United
States, according to the latest census,
nine or ten. 1t is somewhat remarka-
bic that n country only 100 years old
should have as many, if not more,
large cities than the oldest lands; but il
is not improbable that, before another
century. we shall count rs large a
number of cities of 100000 inhabitants
as there are now in the whole world.
New Workers may look with n certain
dsdain upon towns of that size; but
when they remember how few there are
their disdain should be modified. if not
converted to respect. We are all in
clined to think that old and famous
capitals, like Cordova, Granada. Cadiz
Florence, Ncnices, Padua, Verona, Bo-
logna, Warsaw, Cracow, Antwerp,
Client. Rotterdam, Leyden, Leipsic,
must be very large, though they really
have no more than from 10000 to 140,-
600 or 800 900 people each. The cities
that can lay claim to 100000 popula-
ton and upwards are perhaps 100, and
these include many of those which ut
first thought we suppose contained two
or three times the number. This planet
is very little after all. Its millions are
not near so numerous rs it would seem
that they ought to be, and the bulk of
these do not come within our idea of
civilization, any more than we come
within their idea of it.-New York

A Peculiar Letter OF Credit.

A man who is attempting to start a
retail lumber yard down in small
town in Ohio gave jobber the name
of his former employer for reference
and left his order. The report received
by the jobber, although slightly am
biguous, was not of n nature to induce
him to hustle very much in the execu-
ton of the shipment. II is so subtle,

GENERAL NOTES.

Of the seventy-six senators fourteen
chew tobacco, and tifty-eignr use it in
one form or another, while of the S25
members of the House only few abb
stain wholly from tobacco. Over half
the southers members both smoke and
chew. In The Senate those who chew
tobacco are Beck, Call, Edmunds, Fair,
George Harris, Heart Jones of Florida,
Logan, Mcpherson. Morril, Salisbury
Vance, Voorhees,, Whitthorne and Will
son of Maryland. Nearly all of them
smoke also. Mr.. Wilson uses snuff, as
does the patriarch Brown of Georgia.
Captain Bassett the venerable door
keeper, is an expert on the question of
snuff and he purchases it in quantity
and furnishes it to those senator's who
use it.

A Debatable Point of Etiquette

1t is always a debatable point OF ETH
quette whether hostess or guest makes
the first movement 10 60 TO bed, and
thus breaks up the evening gathering.
The guest may be overcome with
fatigue from days journey, the host
may be fidgety under the strain of en-
pertaining. and longing for the guest to
show some signs by which he can grace
fully and Hospitality suggest "that it is
growing late. yet neither quite like to
appear, as they think, impolite. In
fact, many visitors have suffered
agoncs in trying to be agreeable while
the host and hostess were doing their
best TO suppress their yawns and to
make conversation" until chance Of
fered solution of the difficulty. There
is, however. but one rule TO be followed
in this relationship of host and hostess
and the hour of retirement The host
or hostess must always take the intia-
tive and say an appropriate word as to
the lateness of the hour and the de-

DENVER'S DISASTER.
The Academy Of Music Burned to the
Ground.

At an early hour on the morning Of the
9th inst, fire was discovered in the
Academy OF Music, in Denver
and before the fire department
could be got to work the flames
were leaping through the building in n
dozen places, and in few minutes the
building was one mass of flames. The heat
was so intolernble that the firemen were
driven from the front of the building, be
ing unable to stand the intense heat IL
now became evident that the academy
was doomed and the fremen devoted
themselves to saving the Rocky Mountain
News building and the Goode a McClintic
block, which were adjoining, which were
on fire. The flames spread to rapidly and
the heat became so intense that in less than
fifteen minutes after the discovery of the
fire the wires of the Western Union Tele-
graph company, whose Office is in the
block directly across the alley from
the academy, were melted in two and all
the service was destroyed. The operators
managed to save the wheat
stone and other valuable instruments,
though several of the relays were destroy
ed. The fire was the quickest ever wit
messed in Denver A hundred engines
could not have saved the building, which
was mass of ruins within an hour after
the alarm was given. The ground floor
was occupied as business houses, in which
several men were sleeping at the time OF
the fire. all of whom were rescued except
Tim Enright, an old roustabout who
worked in the saloon of John Kinney.
Enright retired at II o'clockat night in
an intoxicated condition, was forgotten
until too late, and persisted in the flames
The cause of the fire is at present un-
known. As near as could be learned the
losses are as follows Il. L. Hughes, on

June Shipments.

The shipment Of forest products by lake
during June from Saginaw River ports
aggregated 100000 feet of lumber, s.
100000 pieces of lath and q, 0OO, 900 shingles.
From the opening of navigation to July 1
the shipments were 217,71l, 900 feet of lum-
Der, IL, l4,0J0 pieces Of lath and 90 12l, 900
shingles. Lumber shipments are about
2S0OO,0 600 less than the same time last year.
The shipments of forest products from
the port of Bay City for the month of June
show slight falling off when compared
with the same month last year. Lumber
has been moving steadily, but owing to
the low rates of freight, the larger class of
vessels have withdrawn from the trade
and entered the wheat, ore and coal bust
ness. Freights have remained steady dur
ing the month at 81 80 per 1000 feet, Bay
City to Buffalo, and 81 % to Ohio ports.
Following are the shipments: Lumber, H.
10000; shingles, 1882, 600 pieces; laths, A.
