gives us many interesting and signih- cant facts. The number of white persons engaged in laborious occupations In the South in the year was larger in propor- ton to population than in the North. The census gives us the number of white per- sons over 15 years of age engaged in any occupation in each State of the Union. The figures are decidedly to the credit of the South.
 Let us compare a few Northern with a few Southern States. In Massachu- setts the per centage of persons over 16 years of age engaged in work was 4S.So; in Rhode Island, 4s.r; in New Hamp- shire, 45.05; in Connecticut, 4o.46: in New York, 7.61; in New Jersey, 47.35. Now let us glance at an equal number of States in the South. In Maryland the per cent age of white persons of 15 years of age engaged in work was 51.S0; in Virginia, 4654; in Georgia, 47.18; in Florida, 53 .A: in Mississippi d.23; in Texas. H.03. The average for all the States n the North was 47 .92; for those in the South, 49.H But one Southern State, Missouri, fell to an average as low as Massachusetts. But two in the North, Pennsylvania and Iowa. rose to an average so high as Maryland or Mississippi, not one of them equaliIng Florida, Arkansas or Texas
 These facts are decisive of the ques- ti on of industrial conditions In the South Whatever may have been the influence of the African shadow upon the people South of the Mason and Dixon line, 1t did not produce men who despised labor and lived in idleness and luxury. Go to any State of the South and the fact re- mains that the average of the white pop ulatien living upon the interest of in vested money and having no occupation was considerably smaller than in the North.''

 The deyeiopment of the music hall into a variety theatre has been gradual, but complete. Mir. Morton recalls the ap- pearance under his management in the ''early nftIes" of a Frenchman. Pico who played a little mouth instrument which was named after him. He was engaged at the Canterbury for two or three months at a salary of 100 pounds week.
 "salaries ,as a rule." added Mir. Nor ton. "were about a third of what they would be now. Augustus Braham. Miss Russell. and Mime. Emily Soldene were then receiving about 16 pounds a week. Today they could earn from 30 to 100 pounds But then, of course. the demand Is greater. recollect that to the Hun garlan Band. conducted by Herr Kalotsy, I paid in the fifties-it was about 1S65 to 1s56-100 guineas a week.
 GymnaBtic turns" at the Canterbury and the balls which quickly followed it were the outcome of the sensation cre- ated by Leotard at ths Alhambra, and Mir. Morton scored with two little flying trapezists, Henri and Eau. While on the south side of the water Mr. Morton add ed, in 1857, to the Canterbury a gallery known as "Ths Royal Academy Over the Water" containing modern pictures and some by old masters-a collection worth 10000 pounds. The building and the open ing of the Oxford was then undertaken by him, fin 1862, and the artists engaged would be driven from one hall to the other in broughams Thus originated the system which enables a music hall fa- vorite to appear nightly on two or more stages in various parts of London.
 MT. Morton's career led him into wider fields of management still, his connection with the Canterbury in course of time terminating It developed into a theatre of varieties in 1876 and became the prop erty of Messrs. c. Crowder and G. A. Payne in 1882 the present Directorate being severally associated with the Ox- ford, Tivoli, Metropolitan, Euston, Par agon and other similar places of enter tainment. MT. Fred Miller is the general manager of the Canterbury. and the Mu- sical Director, Mir. Jesse Williams, con- ducted here in 1S6S-70.

Austrian Editors Troubles.

IOnQOn NIlODe.
 Few people in England have any idea of the disabilities under which the press in Austria suffers They accept the abuse of England which too many Austrian pa- pers have poured out during the war as the outcome of the real feelings of the people for us, ignoring the fact that the continental press being, as rule, the slave of the police. Is only too glad to be able to divert to a neutral object the dia- tribes which it longs to inf1ict on its own government. In Vienna a paper can be on the slightest excuse. A paper is obliged to insert without comment all offi- cal contradictions of facts. and even if 1t can prove that its statements were absolutely correct, 1t Is not allowed to do so. Moreover, a Viennese paper can not be sold in the streets, and so it's read CTS are limited to its subscription list. But apparently this state of things is be- ginning to disgust even the ministerial circles for Herr Koerber has just brought in a bill to give the press a It, tie more liberty and greater facilities for distribution. It is proposed to allow pa and not the paper will be held responsi- ble for signed articles. and the editor will be allowed to comment on official contradictions in the very number of the paper in which those contradictions ap- pear. The Viennese press will thus be somewhat emancipated from the slavery in which it has hitherto been, which is something to the good.

break in the West Indies and the vol- canic outbreak in Central America, 1t was not clear just what 1t was. In. response to an inquiry whether as a result of their investigations into the tragedy of St. Pierre scientists mad evolved any new theories about volcanic action, he replied succulently, Punches of themr But he admitted also that the theories were merely theories, and that while there were as many of them as there were men in . position to theorise. none of them could as yet be regarded as sufi- ciently substantial for general scientific acceptance.
 Professor Heilprin, who made perhaps the most exhaustive Investigations of the outbreak of Pelee and Soufriere, and wes an eyewitness to several subsequent eruptions-in fact, 1t was at one time feared that he had lost his. fife in on@ of them-regards the activity of Santa Maria as confirmation of the theory te, which his investigations have led him. He believes that the unwonted voleanis upheavals in tropical North America gre all surface manifestations of extensive changes that are. taking place in ths ocean bed, changes that will involve Q considerable subsistence of the Caribbean Sea.
 According to Professor Heilprin, the Leser Antilles are the outcroppings of . subterarnean northeasterly extension of the Andean mountain range. The islands are merely the tops of particularly lofty peaks To his mind the Andes when they reach Colombia are divided. one eranch being shortly submerged and only here and there pushing a peak above the sea level: the other, the main branch, ex- tending up the entire Pacific Coast lines of Central and North America and sven- tually making its way over to Asia by way of the Aleutian islands.
 This theory of the subsistence of the Caribbean involves the theory of set- ting of the ocean bed in that part of the world. and it's cracking as it settles. Through these great cracks it is believed that the sea has leaked in upon the su- perheated interior of the earth and vast quantities of steam have been generated, which have forced a way out at various points in what geologists call the ''line of weakness"-that is. the line of least resistance.

THE SOUTH BEFORE THE WAR.
A Large Proportion of its People not Idle But Engaged in Many
 Pursuits.
Norfolk Landmark.

Norfolk Landmark,
 Life in the old South" is a fine paper contributed by the Rev. J. M. Hawley to the September October number of Things and Thoughts a bi-monthly mag asine of merit, published at Winchester, Va MT. Hawley's contribution deserves special attention because 1t refutes the oft-heard charge that the ante-bellum South was a nation whose citizens, as whole, posed in graceful idleness and let the slaI do all the work People of the present day, even in the South (per- haps) have come to think that in the years before the great struggle between the sections the white men of the North did more work, man for man, than the white man of the South. The overdoing of the theory that the South was settled by the Cavaliers and the North by the Puritans has, by simple association of terms, had a great deal to do with the deepening of this impression.
 We consider the following extracts from the Rev. MT. Hawleys article to be valuable contribution to American his tory:
 "There were in the South (by the cen sus of 1S50) in round numbers, 114,5OO per sons owning from one to five slaves. If these whites represented family of i've persons each on an average-and many Southern families were large-we have no less than s72,50O persons dependent upon five slaves or less to the family for support, when only two in the five were capable of doing profitable work. their own support to come, at the time, out of the profits of their own labor. Was a population of 1.745,OOO souls ever clothed and fed by the labor of only one-fifth of their number?
 However much Southern men may ,f n D6 lence, very many of them-slaveholders and non-slaYeholders alike-were com pelled to rely on thsir own energy and industry for a livelihood. To rely upon the labor of q few slaves they owned signihed increasing poverty and embar- rassment.
 And how were the thousands of fam flies that owned no slaves. and yet com prised two-thirds of the white population | of the South, to be supported? Here again the United States Census for lsTe

A GENERAL MIx-UP.

A general mixup of runaway teams
occurred ON Sitxh street near Front
Tuesday morning. The Hess parcel
delivery team became frightened at
the passenger train, and the driver
being absent just at that monument,
they struck off up the street Their
first intention seemed to be to enter
Ira Tompkins' barber shop, but a
horse and buggy belonging to +. G..
Burns was standing in the way. They
crashed into the rig and promptly
upset it, winding it around the barber
pole, The horse broke loose from the
shafts and joined the runaways,
knocking down and running over Geo.
Yonkers, who was occupying the
middle of the street with his four
horse team.
There were now seven horses in
terested in the matter and fine op-
portunity was offered for bad mix
up, but some way it didn't material
ize. All of the animals became tired
and were soon brought to a standstill.
About the only damage done was
to the buggy and harness of F. G.
Burns.
Ira Tompkins barber pole was also
squee- -geed little, but not beyond
repair
