DENMARK.

During tho snowstorm of April 19
the snow was piled up in enormous
drifts, which in certain places in
North Sjalland were from IL to 16
feet deep. This was the first time
in the history of the railway traffic OF
Denmark that the snow completely
blockaded the line between Copenha-
gen and Roskilde for a period of
twenty-four hours. Some of the mail
was hauled on sleds as in pre-railway
times. At least one man froze to
death in the storm.
The aid fund raised by subscrip-
tion for the fishermen who suffered
from the storms last Christmas
amounts to $4,000.
A bad mistake has been made by
the company owning the Oscar H.,
whose engines were so badly dam
aged on the Atlantic ocean that it
had to return to the Azores islands,
where it's 1,5O0 emigrants were land
ed. The steamer was next taken to
Scotland for repairs, and the crew,
consisting of 12O men, were discharg-
ed at Glasgow. This was an unusual
procedure, and the men complained
to the marine court of Copenhagen,
which ordered the company to pay
the men two days wages extra.
Peshke Koedt, Danish merchant,
has written such a meritorious arti-
Gle in favor of free trade that the ex-
ecutive committee of the famous Cob
den Club, by a unanimous vote, has
translated parts of it for publication
in the English free trade papers.
German and French economists have
also published extracts from the ar
ticle, which is said to be the most
convincing free trade argument which
has appeared in print for a good
many years.

Sweden imports about 32,OOO,OOO

The proposition of the government
to abolish the diocese of Kalmar and
add it's territory to the diocese of
Vexio, was endorsed by the riksdag,
the vote in the first chamber being
7S to 81, and in the second chamber
1872 to 3S. This vote settles a ques-
ton which has been discussed for
years. The territory affected is To-
Gated in the southeastern part of
Sweden, and the plan includes the
division of the Gioces of Hernosand
in the far North into two dioceses.
Lulea will be the name of the new
one.

NORWAY,

Says Verdens Gang: Emigration
is no doubt our greatest question at
the present time. It must at last he
obvious to all thinking persons that
If the current keeps on gliding along
as it does now it will soon mean a
deathblow to our people. In some
settlements there are scarcely any
young people left. In Oksendalen,
Nordmore, for instance, the houses
are tumbling down; on one farm, not
a single load of hay was cut last
summer, and the weeds grew luxur-
iantly from the dung-pile up the wall
OF the stable. Old men must take
charge of the farms a second time
because their sons have left the coun-
try. Even prosperous farmers Leave
everything. The ranks of the army
are thinning out, our technical
schools are educating artisans for the
American factory. We again refer
to some dreary figures: ,amost 10000
people left us last year, and the pros
poets are that the number will reach
10000 before the end of this year, or
10000 in two years. In other words,
one-thirtieth of the population of the
country emigrate in two years. The
number of births is about $4,000 a
year, the number of deaths $4,000,
leaving surplus of $4,000. Last
year emigration swallowed up nearly
all of this surplus, and this year the
population of the country may de-
crease by 7,oOo!"
