The Transvaal rp , (Africa) , u ■ Volksraad Vf lkarwl is •
reported to hava placed $100,000 on the
estimates for tho current year, for the
purpose of endowing the first University
of the Republic.

Says the Indianapolis Journal: “It is
estimated that the Paris Exposition this
year has caused nearly $151,000 000 of
American money to be dropped in Eu¬
rope. American enterprise should be
able to recover it all in 1892.”
Buffalo, N. Y., is noted as a city of
houses that are owned by the families
which live in them according to tho
New York Tnbune-, and another indi¬
cation of its wholesome condition has
just been given by tho discovery that
there arc over 125 savings and loan as¬
sociations in the city.
Of 4.‘5 000 Italians that landed in
Castle Garden, New Y'ork City last
year, 34 0>0 were males. The emigra¬
tion of fema’es from Italy is smaller
than from any other country, averaging
but thirteen per cent, of the whole
numbsr who land. From Germany the
j ercentago is forty; from Ireland forty
five.
The Swiss government distributes a
turn of nearly $300,000 each yoar as
premiums for bulls in the 24 cantons of
Switzerland, and, according to a return
which has just been published,thero aro
18,391 bulls in these cantons, Tho
amount of premiums allotted to each
canton is prop irtionc 1 to the further
sum given by tho Canton itself, and the
premiums aro not paid over until it is
proved that the anima s to which they
have been awarded have been used for
getting stock.
Tho arrangemonts of the Census
Bureau aro on an immense scale, al¬
though now only one-tenthof what they
will bo a year hence. Ono hundred
typewriters aro now at work; next
March 2,000 clerks will be kept busy,
next June 40, 000 enumerators will bo
scouring tho Ceu:itry, fifty female type¬
writers will bo clicking away next week.
Tho typewriter is to entirely excludo
pen copy. Mr. Porter expecting there¬
by to savo upwards of $2),000. Over
a hundred thousand applicrtions for
employment have already been received,
and the communications are answered
as promptly as possible. Twenty-five
topographers and ten stenographers aro
at work, anti 250,000 envelopes are
used each mouth.
Maurice Thompson, in tho Nrth
American Review, says: “In England a
novelist of tho standing of Mr. Howells
can take the manuscript of his latest
novel to his publisher and receive iu
exchange for it a cheek for from $5 to
$7500. Even Anthony Trollope re¬
ceived ns much as $15,000 for a uovel!
It i3 safe to say that (hero is not in
America a publisher (not a magazine or
journal owuei) who would pay Mr.
Howells tho lia’. f of such a sum. Iu a
word, we present the curious condition
of a nation rending more books than
any other nation in tho world, and at
tho same time paying to its writers of
high merit tlio smallest incomes offered
to such authors within the limits of
civilization. ”
The Chinese Government seems to bo
coming to accept th» fact that tho con¬
struction of railways in that country is
inevitable. A cablegram announces
thaL ihe Emperor has decided to issue
an edict for tha building of another
railway, ami it ii believed that con -
slruction upon a large scale will bo tho
policy of tho Government. The little
eighty-five milo road which now consti¬
tutes tho entire railway system of that
vast empire seems to have proved its
value, ia the face of the tremendous
conservatism and suspicious prejudice of
the Chinese, and it will doubtless prove
to be tho forerunner of not merely tens
of thousands, but eventually of hun¬
dreds of thousands, of miles of railway
in that land whoso population reaches
the vast number of over 370,000,000
souls, inhabiting a domain of over
4,400,000 square miles.
Before leaving Buenos Ayres for home
United States Jiinister Bayless W. Ilsn
na wrote a short report to the State De¬
partment on immigration into the Ar¬
gentine Republic. He says it is setting
in from all countries of Europe, and tho
great number of arrivals is marvelous.
They are generally assisted by the Ar¬
gentine Government to the extent at
least of having their passages paid from
the starting point to destination .... the
in
interior. Tr.e amount thus paid in
Maieh is estimated at $1,000,000, or at
the rate of $12,000,000 a year. Already
this vast influx, the Minister says, is
beginning to tell on the exports of corn.
Last year the country shipped 445,000
tons of corn. This year it will go above
2,000,000 tons. Mr. Hanna further
says : “lathe vast fleet of merchant
ships and great steamers coming here to
trade from every flu' European port * the
United it % ^ cu* States e flag ? is rarely seen, WH bu. it
is hoped and believed that the policy of
the new Administration on the subject
