STATES.
According to statistics prepared by
Prof. De Boiv. publish as an appendix
to iiis official Census Report, that portion
relating to the nativity of our population
shows that the foreign hort^number only
about one-eighth ol‘ the nntives-r—pinch
the largest proportion being in the Mid
dle States. - - ~ V\** v $■' •
. The largest number of immigrants to
this country in any one year was -139,-
437 in 185?—tliough this statement is
scarcely accurate, as more than a year
is comprised'in the returns.
The most valuable crop in the United
States is that of Indian Corn estimated
in 1350 at two huudred and ninety-six
millions of dollars, and being nearly
three times as valuable as wheat, and
more than three times «3 valuable as
cotton. Six times as many acres of land
are devoted to Indian corn as are given
to cotton, and three times as much as*
to wheat. The value of butter made an
nually in the United States exceeds fifty
millions of dollars.
There are 347,525 slaveholders in
the United States, of whom two own
over one thousand negroes; nine own
over five hundred; fifty-six own over
three hundred; one hundred and eighty-
seven own over two hundred, and four
teen hundred andseventy-nine own over
one hundred. The greatest number of
slaveholders own more than one, and
less than five } the number of this class
is 105,683.
The statement of the occupations of
the people shows that the'farmers out
number by far any other profession.
Their numbers 2.363,950—while the
class which appproaches nearest them is
that of laborers who number 909,786.
The carpenters stand next, counting 134,-
671, and then come cordwainers 130,473.

Where a tempting goblet stood,
Brimimug high with dainty egg-nog,

real state of. things in Europe to my
countrymen ; at the same time charging
it upon me as a sacred duty as an Ameri
can. to acquaint them with the fears
which were entertained, by the friends
of republican liberty, in regard to our
country. If I have labored with any
rVJCC-nss to arouse the attention of my
countrymen to the dangers foreseen by
Lafayette, I owe it in a great degree to
having acted in conformity to his often
repeated injunctions.”

is nothing special about (he building
worth noting, the naked sides and ex
posed rafters having a gloomy appear
ance. The altar is the only, object that at
tracts attention. It so much resembles
the Roman Catholic that I need not-deS-
cribe it. Some of ihe idols on these al-
lars are so similar to those I have seen
in Italy that if they were mutually trans
lated I doubt whether either set of wor
shippers would discover the'change. The
priests count beads, shave, their heads,
and wear analogous robes; and the ser
vice is attended by the ringing < if bells,
the lighting of candles, and the burning
of incense. In .fact, except that the
cross is nowhere to ba sfit-n, one could
easily imagine himself within a Roman
Catholic place of worship. During the
seventeenth century Christianity ivas in
troduced by the Jesuits, and for a time
made rapid progress; but the missiona
ries. inflated by success, became haugh
ty and presumptuous, and beginning to
interfere in politics and government,
brought about a violent persecution, so
deadly a hatred was conceived against
the Portuguese that in the space of for
ty years they and their religion were'
completely extirpated. Even to this
day in certain parts of the empire, the
custom of trampling on the cross is an
nually .celebrated. To such a mrnff were
ow the Romish ceremonial was ’pefcmtted
to survive.

So he stood, abashed aud silent,

Bent on me aud on the door.

Quickly ran he to the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flumes go higher and

■ Cossvmftios of Life during th|S>,'
Reign of Emperor-Nicholas.— 'cJj
The consumption of hun^fflylife during.’,
the ireigu of t’ae Erniperor Nicholas has
been enormous: t •
He has carried on War with the Cir- >
cassia ns uninterruptedly for 2S years,
at an annual cost of 5J0,000 lives on the
Russian sidg alone, making a grand total’,
of nearly 600,000 Russians who have ’ 0 Y
perished in attempting to subdue the in-^
dependence of Circassia. In tlie.t.wc
campaigns against Persia, as in. thJjpun-
garian carnp’iiign and the two Polish’
campaigns oi‘-1831-32 there are n(4
sufficient data to form a correct estimate
of the loss of the Russians, which was
however, in the PerSfan and Polish wars,
enormous. In the two compaigns against .
Turkey of 1828-’29, 300,000 fell; of.
whom, however, 50,000 perished by the
plague. The Joss of the Russians iu
various ways since the entry of the Danu-
bian Principalities is understated at 30,-
000. In these calculations it should be
borne in mind that no estimate is at-,
tempted to be made of the sacrifice ot
I human life on the side ; of those who
fought for their liberties against the
aggressions of Russia.—Edinburg Ad-

INTERESTING FACTS UPON
EYES AND EARS.
The organ of vision is considered the
most delicate organization in the human
frame; yet, many who have been bom
blind have been enabled to see by sur
gical operations, and the following is an
interesting fact concerning one of that
class: This youth had become 13 years
of age, when his eyes were couched hy

most beautiful color, black was painful.

and he could not distinguish by sight
what he perfectly well knew by feeling,
for instance the cat and dog. When his
second eye was couched he remarked
that the objects were not so large in ap
pearance to this as to the one opened at
first. Pictures he considered only parti
colored surfaces, and a miniature abso
lutely astonished him, seeming to him
lika putting a bushel into a pint.
