Are We Making Progress Toward Equnu-

" OF Opportunityf
Taking the whole number Of persons
engaged in all remunorativo or gainful
occupations, / find that in 1860 such
persons constituted 90. 10 per cent Of The
whole population IN 1870 this percent
ago had increased to 81. 40, in 1880 to
3408, while ia 1890 IL was 1881, an
increase Of more than 10 por cent, rola-
lively, in one generation, the period
from 1850 20 1890. This. Il should be
borne in mind, is the percentage Of the
total number Of persons engaged in
.gainful occupations Of the total popula-
ton. If We examine now the percent
ago which this total number Of persons
engaged in all g~ainful occupations is Of
the persons 10 years Of age and over,
which Is the truer comparison, we find
that the increase has been rs regular,
but a little greater, for in 1860 it was
SO. ~ and in 1890 1875, an increase Of
over II per cent, relatively, in the 30
years named. This fact alone, IL seems
to me, answers c~onclusively and def
nitely the question we arc considering. II
tho total number Of persons engaged in
gainful occupations stood still relative
TO tho population, the argument would
not be 80 clearly carried, but with q
constant and persistent increase in the
relative proportions Of this class Of peo-
pc to the whole number Of population,
and to the whole number 10 years Of
age and over, there can be no other an
swer than an affirmative one.
These figures prove conclusively that
We arc not only making real progress

ward a greater equality Of opportunity
IN social and industrial life, and they
completely Kill all arguments made to
prove that machinery, the influence Of
invention, displaces labor, so far as So
ciety as a whole is concerned. Il would
be absurd to argue for a single moment
that che introduction Of machinery has
not in many instances displaced indi-
viduals and reduced them not only to
relative poverty but to pauperism. The
answer cannot well be made to the in
dividual, but the facts cited prove that
so far as the whole body Of the people
is concerned there is no such displace-
ment, and a study Of the expansive In
huence Of machinery and invention by
the statistical method further proves the

creduIIty d Rus.Ian rea.antrE.

A writer in n French review tells O
curious story serving to show the misery
and credulity of the %peasantry in some
districts Of Russia, as well as the au-
dacity Of the INSCRIPTIONS swindlers by
whom they are sometimes feeced. An
adventurer was recently tried at Ssratof
for having induced a number Of peasants
TO abandon to his keeping all their world
" possessions, with tho view Of emil
grating under his guidance tO-Jupiter.
There they were to find land in album
dance, easy to work and marvelously fer
tile. When the local authorities inter
vened, IL was found that quite a band of
emiRrants were preparing to start for
the blessed planetary colony. We are not
told what defense was made by the pris-
oner, but it was quite apparent that his
dupes were aware that it was TO no ter
r~estrial land Of promise that he was to
lead them. He was therefore indicted
and condemned for spreading false re-
ports about Jupiter. "-Westminster Ga

WELLINGTON WAS WARNED.
A Design which Might Have Waterfall
Affected the Destiny Of Europe.

A Design which Might Have Materially
Affected the Destiny of Europe.
Tho story goes hat Wellington used
to ride over daily, with n on two OF
his staff, from his headquarters at st.
Jean do Luz, and take his stand ON the
top Of a wooded sand hillock, called
Blanc Pignon, ON the left bank of the
Adour, which commands a view Of both
banks and the town itself two miles up
stream. This had been noticed by the
French, who had still command Of the
river and the opposite shore, and the
jealous sailor afoi esaid, Bourgeois by
name, conceived the plan of entrapping
tho great English captain by lying in
ambush for him, with n few men,
among the underground on the sand
dune, which happened to DO ON neutral
ground just outside the line Of French
pickets.
General Thouvenot very honorably de-
clined to sanction this tricky proceeding,
but, seeing through his glasses from the
clock tower Of the cathedral in Bayonne
that it was actually being carried ont,
Notwithstanding his di~sapproval, he sent
a mounted orderly, as fast rs he could
gnllop, down the road ON the left bank
Of the river (the present site Of the AL
lees Marines) past the French pickets,
to warn Wellington Of his danger. The
message was just in time. When within
a short distance of the ambush, awaiting
him on the narrow little track winding
mp the sand dune, he turned his horse
and moved quietly of in another direc-
ton.
So says the story, which, entirely be-
lieved by the French, is placed on record
by Morel, declared in a footnote to be
correct, and then 1880 within the
memory of living witnesses. We can en-
tirely agree with the author in his sue.

LONG ISLAND LOSING ITS TAIL.

Inroads OF the Sea Causing Alarm TO Prop
erty Owners at Orient Point.
Long Island, which looks ON the map
like n big fish about to swallow New
York city, is apparently being slowly
swallowed by the ocean. Portions Of its
shores have disappeared beneath the
waves, and now the northern fork Of its
huge tail is vanishing. About two miles
of Orient point, hat formed a sandy
beach two years ago, is now under 10
feet Of water. The lighthouse on the
point was six rods from the sea a few
years ago. 1t mas since been toppled over
by the sea, and only q small part Of the
surrounding beach is visible.
The bluffs ON both tho sound and the
bay side of Orient point have been sink
ing at the rate of about 10 or 10 feet a
year. The same state of affairs is true
Of Montauk point, but there the bluffs
jut up so abruptly and so high above
the sea that the rising of the water is
not so noticeable. A rise of a foot or
two ON the low shores near Peconic bay
will submerge acres of land. Much Of
the threatened land on Orient point
forms fertile farms, and the steady adj
vance Of the shore line is causing no
small concern to the owners. The water
has in several places found its way
across a low spot on the point from the
sound TO the bay. The result will be to
ultimately divide the peninsula into a
series Of small islands, similar to Plum,
Little Gull and Great Gull islands, all
Of which were doubtless once a part Of
the mainland and were cut off by the
rise Of the sea. The village Of Orient is
situated in Il particularly narrow and
low portion Of the peninsula, and the
next serious inroad Of the ocean will
probably occur there. In that case 1000
acres Of land and a village Of 1000 peo-
pie will have to be abandoned New
