This popular miscellany, which is an bon or to our periodical literature, makes its ap pearance the present mouth, with its usual freshness and diversity of contents. “A Letter About England" is an admirable sketch ofEnglish peculiarities, but the article which most attracted out attention is that entitled. “Modern Improvements, and Our National Debt." It presents the - most consolatory views of the financial interest of the country after what has been deemed an exhaustive war. The phenomenon is presented of the productive power of a country being increas ed far beyond any exhaustion of its resources by a gigantic contest. The writer says; “The progress of discovery, improvements, in machinery and in the processes of manu facture, more effective implements of agri culture, the general introduction of* rail ways, and other time aud labor saving agen cies, together with the constantly increasing influence of the applied science?, have so augmented the productive powei of humani ty that the experience of the most advanced nations fifty years ago furnishes no criterion of what the United States can do now.” The writer enters into some interesting statistics to show that we cannot measure the progress of improvement in the United States within the last ten years by a com parison with any former decennial period; “In 1850 the aggregate value of the pro ducts of agriculture, milling, manufactures aud the mechanic arts, in the United States, was $2,345,000,000: in 1860 the aggregate was $3,75G‘000.000. This is an increase in ten years of sixty per cent. ,* whereas, the increase of population during that decade was only thirty-five aud a . half per cent.— Thus we see that during the ten years ending with 1860— the date of the last ceusus—the products of the industry of the country in creased almost twice as fast as the popula tion. If to this we add the remarkable fact that the value of taxable property increased during the same period a hundred and twenty six per cent, we have striking proof of the ex istence of a vast and rapidly increasing pro ductive power—power largely due to the in fluence of those improvements which have been alluded to. One obvious effect of war is to transfer a portion of labor from the sphere ol etfective production to that of extraordinary consumption. To what extent the relations of production and consumption among us have been chang ed, during the present contest, it is impossi ble to state. That consumption has been largely increased by our military operations is apparent to all. It is equally apparent that production has been also augmented, though not perhaps to the same extent. The extraordinary demand for various commodi ties for war purposes has brought all the producing agencies of the country into a high state of activity and efficiency, giving to the loyal States a larger aggregate production than they had before the war. Os mining and manufacturing, this is unquestionably true. As regards the products of the soil, 'the Commissioner of Agriculture, in his re port for 186;i, says: “Although the year just closed has been a year of war on the part of the Republic, over a wider field and ou a grander scale than any recorded in his tory, yet, strange ns it may appear, the great interests of Agriculture have not materi ally suffered in the loyal States. Not withstanding there have been over a million of men employed in the army and navy, withdrawn principally from the pro ducing classes, and liberally fed, clothed and paid by the government, yet the yield of most of the great staples of agriculture for 1563 exceeds that of 1862. This wonderful fact of history—a young republic carrying on a gigantic war on its own territorytind coasts, and at the same time feeding itself and foreign nations, and furnishing large quanti ties of raw materials for commerce and man ufacturer—proves that we are essen*ially an agricultural people, that three years of war have not as yet seriously disturbed, but rather increased industrial pursuits ; and that the withdrawal of agricultural labor, and the loss of life by disease and battles have been more than compensated by machinery and maturing growth at home and by the in creased influx of immigration from abroad.” The reader cannot but be struck with the coincidence of views here expressed with those pronounced by Mr. Blodget in his pamphlet noticed in this paper recently. The increase of productive power in the United States, during a period of extraordinary and wastefnl consumption, is one of not the least of the extraordinary phenomena developed by the war which has just closed. *** —The present valuation of property in Cin cinnati is $48,525,000; an increase of $14,- 000,000 over last year. —Thirty thousand herriigs were caught iu Salt Pond, Rhode Island, last Thursday—the largest haul on record, —lt is proposed to enlarge the Music Hall at Boston about thirty feet on the Brumfield street end, at an estimated coat of sixty thousand dollars.

He had became de jected iu consequence of ill-success with his studies at school. —The cotton mills of Woonsocket, R. 1., and of all the surrounding manufacturing towns, are start'ng up. Tue scarcity of help is a great drawback, however. Weavers es pially arc in gieat demand. —A clerical joke is told by a Boston paper thus: A tall clergyman, meeting a short bro ther from the rural districts, saluted him : “Well, brother, we are glad to see you, though you are small of stature likeZaccheus of old.” “Thank you,” replied the short minister, “we read that ‘the Lord hath no pleasure iu the legs of a man.’” —Thomas Turner, deputy register at Port Hope, Canada, has recently tied from that place leaving behind him evidences and ef fects of various extensive frauds. He has' been for some three years in the habit of ob taining money on forged mortgages and quietly paying interest on them as it fell due. —A match game of quoits was played be tween the Seniors and Sophomores of Am herst College last week, the game being to score one hundred and eleven [mints. The sophomores were victorious, coming out one hundred and thirteen to the seniors’ seventy three. Another match will soon take place. —At the recent anniversary of “The American and Foreign Anti-Tobacco So ciety,” in Boston, the Rev. Mr. Trask, of Fitchburg, gave it as his opinion that there had been a decrease among tobacco raisers in the Connecticut valley; that smoky piety was decreasing ; and that the time was com ing when a Christian gentleman would no more appear on the highway with a cigar than he would hold slave. —Monuments have just been erected to the memory of Admiral Foote and General Sedg wick. The former is at New Haven, a heavy square column of RhodeTsland granite, nine feet high and four feet square at the base ; and the latter, at Cornwall Hollow, is an obe lisk of white Rhode Island granite, sixteen feet high. —Hubert Holcomb, of New Hartford, Ct., lost his voice while serving as a soldier in N. Carolina, April 5, 1862, and from that time till last Sunday week has not been able to speak a word. That day a horse kicked him, which injured his feelings so that he could’nt help expressing himself; and since that time he has been able to [alk as well as anybody. —A grindstone burst at the Ames Works in Chicopee, Mass., last week. A quarter of the stone went through a window with tre mendous force, and struck a neighboring storehouse. Another piece lifted the floor overhead, causing some consternation among the workmen employed in the vicinity; then glanced and went through the brick wall of the building. —A correspondent writes: “Os all the ci ties I have ever seen, north or south, in peace or war, Nashville is the dirtiest. .Louisville may have some filthier localities; Pittsburg may exhibit sootier houses; New York may occasionally get up a more extensive carni val of mud; but take it all in all, make pro per allowances for circumstance and size, and I think Nashville will fairly carry off the palm.” —The Richmond-(Virginia) Republican says the landlords of that city are inflicting great injury. The rents of storehouses lie fore the war ranged from four to fifteen hun dred dollars. Now the landlords demand, for inferior accommodationsj rents of as ma ny thousands. The case is much the sam« with dwelling-houses. The prices which, a few months ago, were charged in Confeder ate shinplasters, are now charged in real money. —Senator Sumner, who delivered the eu logy on President Lincoln at the Boston Mu sic Hall on Fast day, is the ninth orator se lected from among eminent citizens to fulfill a similar duty in Boston.
