The Past Years Gifts su6 Bsquests { to the South.

Mobile Register.
 The publishers of Appleton's Annual Cyciopaedia have compiled list Qt tne Ises. and The New York Times has been favored with an advance copy tneEnot- The list Is printed In The Times ot Sun' day last. It h4is nine columns of the pa- tss sd tos sSs0Sass of neSry eSr sss S E as this total is, the whole story Is not >told by it, since there were numerous gifts of property whose value could Aot be estimated with any accuracy, such ss the Metropolitan Museum of Art by F, c. Dun. and book collections, etc. pre. scented to libraries. The right total could with entire safety be put at so 900, ,oeo.
 It Is of some interest to 0bsepve that the giving and receiving has itg '.storm area" north of the Ohio and Potomac and east of the Mississippi River. and the centre of the "disturbance" Is in and barometric spots in the Middle West and even in the Far West, but the scene of the greatest benevolence is also the scene of the greatst walth.
 The South has received: so the ngures show, about ope-ninth of the estimated total which is much more than any one not in touch with the facts would sup pose. We have culled from the Apple tons list all the items relating to the South, as follows:

 The reader will observe that fouF-fifths of this total is made by one bequest and a tenth of 1t by one gift; that about S10Q. = 900 of the remainder IS devoted exclusively to negro education, the miscellaneous do- nations to the South being, therefore. about e476,000, and more than one-half of this to be expended in intersection of one all foAA RIfA
