LEADS THE WORLD.
Energy and Wealth Of the United
States-4l ,OOO, 900 Educated
Citizens.

New York, May 3l.-The English statis.
tician, Michael G. Mulhall, publishes in
the June number of the North American
Review an articled on "The Power and
Wealth of the United States" Mr.. Mul.
halls conclusion is that 'if we take a
survey of mankind in ancient or modern
times as regards the physical, mechanical,
and intellectual force of nations, we find
nothing to compare with the United
States in this present year of 1885," and
that the United States possesses by far
the greatest productive power in the
world. He asserts that the absolute effec-
tive force Of the American people is now
more than three times what it was in 1850,
and that the United States possesses al
most as much energy as Great Britain,
Germany and France collectively, and
that the ratio falling to each American is
more than what two Englishmen or Ger
mans have at their disposal.
RATIO OF ABILITY.
He points out, by careful comparison
between the conditions of these different
countries, that an ordinary farm hand in
the United States raises az much grain as
three IN England, four in France, five in
Germany or six in Austria. One man In
America can produce as much flour as
will feed $50, whereas in Europe one man
feeds only thirty persons.
Mr.. Mulhall calls special attention to
the fact that the intellectual power of the
great republic is in harmony with the in
dustrial and mechanical, 81 per cent of
the total population over 10 years of age
being able to read and write. ut may
be fearlessly asserted" said he, "that in
the history of the human race no nation
ever before possessed 100000 instruct
cd citizens"
GROWTH OF WEALTH.
Tho writer sets forth in regard to the
growth of the wealth of the United States
that the averaged annual increment from
1921 to 1890 was 901 milliards of dollars,
which sum is one milliard over the total
wealth of Great Britain.
In classifying the whole wealth of the
union under the two heads of "urban"
and "rural," he finds that rural agricul-
tural wealth has only quadrupled in
forty years, while urban wealth has null
tiplied sixteen fold. In an important
series of figures it is shown that the "rise
in wealth and the increase In wages
came almost hand in hand"
In dealing with the development of
farm values, Mr.. Mulhall makes the fol-
lowing statement: "If the United States
had no urban population or industries
whatever, the advance of agricultural in
terests would be enough to claim the ad
miration ol mankind, for it has no paral-
lei in history"

Mother Nature. Ever Fruitful

In beneticiencies TO mankind, has given
birth to one which, developed by art, has
been prodigal in health yielding benefits
to the race. No voyager, sea captain,
commercial traveller, or tourist seeking
pleasure and health, should fall to be self
provided with the grand botanic restora..
tive and preventive, Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters. which counteracts the effects of
malarious air and brackish water, un-
wholesome or unwonted diet, exposure,
the fatigue of travel, and the disturbance
OF the stomach caused by rough weather
at sea, and sometimes by railway travel
ing over rough road bed. Mariners,
miners, and western pioneers bear CON
current evidence to its defensive and re-
parative influence. Chllls and fever,
rheumatism, inactivity of the kidneys,
blliousness, dyspepsia and nervousness
are all relieved by this incomparably
hne Alternative, corrective and invigorant,
which physicians highly commend.

Early in '63 the ship Ocean Signal, COM
manded by Captain Harry Laid, was off
the Brazilian coast, bound north, one
bright and breezy Sunday morning. Decks
had been washed down, and the boys were
rubbing up their brass work fore and aft,
for the captain liked to have things neat
and shiny on Sundays, when, just as s
bells struck, man doing a job aloft sang
out "Sail hop We had seen number of
sails during the week and paid no more
than ordinary attention to them. but this

minutes she was in plain sight. close

the cattleman with a familiarity which
made the stage-driver, who had proper
respect for wealth, shudder.
Those who have not travelled at night
through one of those primeval forests of
British Columbia can have no idea of the
strange sounds that pervade those vast
woods. The baying of the wolf is succeed
ed by the scream of the panther and the
hooting of owls and uncanny birds of the
night sustained this internal chorus. The
moaning of the river and then the sharp
information of a cataract appeals clamor-
ously for attention. Should the wind be
high the crash of falling trees breaks in
upon this strange orchestra of the gloom.
But sound more startling and appalling
than all these pierced the midnight air as
the Quesnal stage rumbled through the
forest. 1t was the voice of the cattleman

About seven bells the skipper took his
glass and went aloft to the mizzsn cross
trees, where he stayed an hour. When he
came down l heard him say to the mate:

| These orders were hardly executed be-
fore the royals were ordered furled, with
the admonition, Lively, boys, livelyF'
Within an hour or so the wind had in
! creased considerably. 1t had become first
cousin to an ambitious gale and was kick
relieved of good deal of pressure by the
handing of the light sails the ship still had
more than she could safely carry. With
shortened sail she seemed to be going just
as fast as before. She had in fact been
overcrowded-ia into the water in
stead of through Handicapped by can
vas.
There was a laundering sea rolling up on
our weather quarter, as If 1t would IKE 10
come aboard and smash things in behalf
of the pirate, but it was always little too
late and could do nothing more than curl
up its green and white head just astern OF
us and break into showers of spoon-drft.
Though we were going as if whole regi-
ment of sheriffs and constables were after
US, the Alabama was still pegging away,
smoking as furiously as ever, but reduced
to topsails, which We're all she could bear
in that gale. If she had ever made good
head she was doing it then, but we were
outrunning her, all the same--actually
beating the cracked-up British flyer that
could overhaul any Yankee ship ahoat.
So she could, only she couldn't. At two
bells in the first dog-watch-5 o'clock
she was just in sight and we were still
staggering along under three to'gallant-
sails with wind that made
everything hum. 1t was looking
very smutty along the weather horizon.
The lower rim of the sky had mean, ma
licious aspect. When it blows in that
latitude it blows so hard that it takes half
dozen men to hold the captains hair on
his head sometimes.
At dark the naval marauder was OBJ
scured by the gloom, but he was there
astern, and it would not have taken long
for him to come up with US if we
had unfortunately been crippled in our
spars or lost sail or two. The
captain and mate were having a con-
fab on the poop. The ship was carrying
more than prudent seamanship would
have justified under ordinary circum-
stances, but it was clear case Of 'tgot to do
it."
Pretty soon the order came. "Lee fore

ship was brought to the wind, until she
was going only about two points free, per-
ceptibly lessening her speed through. the

prettiest sight in the world. There's moth
ing else half SO grand.
The Alabama found that she couldn't
head US off by holding her course, so she
checked in her yards and kept away few
points. Soon after this she fired shot
two or three of them in the course of hall
an hour. She was getting mad because we
wouldn't heave to and be scuttled or
burned; but none of the shots showed up
anywhere near US. 1t was getting exciting,
/ tell you.
Our ensign was at the peak. looming up
in the sun like brand-new rainbow or a
stack of BARRIERS poles. The captain ran it
up himself, and as the stars and stripes
spread out in the breeze he took off his hat
and bowed, saying, "Them's my SEN
timents." He didn't look anxious bit,
though every dollar he had in the world
was in his ship, being part owner. and he
knew that if the cruiser caught her she
would be sunk or set afire. If he was
scared he didn't show It; on the contrary,
he appeared to be real jolly, and ordered
the steward to give all hands d, stiff tot of
whisky. Still. you could see Cat he was
mighty well interested in things just about
that time, and wasn't missing much of
what was going on.
The wind gradually got a little sitter all
the time. The Signal had all she could
smother under and was sliding along like
train of cars. The stun sail booms and
to- gallant masts wobbled wildly; backstays,
