A portrait statue of General George
B. McClellan is to be erected on the
south front of the Philadelphia City
Hail. The figure will be of bronze,
and with the pedestal will stand thirty
feet high.
Robert E. Porter, Superintendent of
the census, estimates the population of
the United States at 65,000,000. Ho
thinks there are 57,000,000 in cities
and villages and on farms, and 8,000,
000 negroes.
The attempt at training swallows to
carry messages, instead of using carrier
pigeons, promises to meet with success.
A swallow recently made the record of
116 miles in an hour and thirty minutes.
Should such a messenger service prove
feasible it will probably be adopted in
the French arrav.
In Italy women continue to pusue
occupations which soem properly to be¬
long to tha stronger sex. "V omen
brick-layer* and women hod-carriers are
employed in all Italian cities. They
dre*s wretchedly, go barefooted, and
their fare is of tha poorest. Their
wages are twenty cents a day.
That Queen Victoria is a woman of
more than ordinary force of character
is clearly shown by the fact that during
hor recent visit to Wales she on several
occasions flattered the natives by address¬
ing them in their own language.
Moreover, she is able to both road and
write llindostanoo with considerable
fluency. There aro but few ladies, in
the opinion of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who at the ago of seventy
would have the perseverance and cour¬
age to acquire proficiency in two such
excruciatingly difficult language as
Ilindostanee and Welsh.
The consumption of China tea in
Great Britain ten years ago amounted to
123,000,000 1bs., anti that of Indian
produce to 23,000,000 lbs.; but last
year odly 87,000,000 lbs. of China tea
were consumed in Great Britain, as
against 93,000,000 lbs. of Indian and
Ceylon tea. This great change in the
tea trade is principally attributed to the
defective method of cultivation prevail¬
ing in China, and to the discredit which
has been brought on tho Chinese pro¬
duct by the systematic adulteration
practised by tho native dealers, The
export duty, which amounts altogether
to about 50 per cent, of the present
value of the article, has also contributed
considerably to ruin the Chinese tea
trade.
A correspondent of the Havana,
Cuba Progreso describes a visit to the
Isle de Pinos, the “Pine Island,” on
the South coast of Cuba, where the
Spaniards have established a penal
colony for political offenders nnd cer¬
tain classos of criminals. The colony
is nominally under the supervision of a
military governor, who, however, seems
to devote his time chiefly to nautical
experiments, leaving tho convicts to en¬
joy their leisure the best way they
can. Some of them own quite exten
aivo banana gardens; others assist the
governor in tho construction of patent
life-boats; but tho plurality gain a liv¬
ing by the trainiug of fighting cocks,
which they raise by hundreds and ship
to Ilavant. and Cienfuegos with every
out-goiag steamer.
The demand for American beef in tho
English maikct has had an almost
boom-like growth during the past year.
The high water mark was reached re¬
cently when the steamship England
sailed from New York for Liverpool
with 1022 live steers, averaging 1400
pounds each, and 1700 quarters of beef.
In London tho price of a good bullock
is from $90 to $100. This would
make the live stock shipment by tho
England worth not less than $140,000.
Something like 16,00) heads of cattle
are shipped from American ports every
week to Europe, and New York gets
ihe lion’s share of the business, sending
out about 6000 heads a week. The
boom has also extended to the sheep
trade, and the prices obtained are very
satisfactory.
The career of the late Wilkie Collins,
observes the Washington St r r, shows how
little the most conscientious of parents
can judge for his children what calling
in life holds out the brightest promise
for their special powers, Collins’s
father had a notion of making either a
university don or a clergyman of him.
but the boy hated the classics and had
little taste for the duties of a clergy¬
man, and, in order to avoid both, en¬
tered a counting-house. He was 22
years old before he made up his mind
to desert commerce and try his hand at
law. For five years he read law in a
desultory way, and continued a barris¬
ter in namo to the day of his death, but
without a brief. In the meantime he
gave bis thoughts almost wholly to
literature. How well he did his work,
how thoroughly he vindicated his final
Choice of letters for a profession, need
not be discussed; but it is safe to say
that, had he followed his father’s bent
instead of his own, his name would
•carceiy have crossed the borders of the
parish in which he lived and labored,
unless in connection with the story of
a man whose career had been a dismal
failure.
Tub friends of temperance in England
are grieved by statistics that seem to
show that drunkeness is increasing there
faster than the means taken to suppress
it The consumption of liquor has
fallen off, but the eases of drunkenness
grow in number with remarkable
rapidity. Liverpool is the most drunken
city.

es noith of Lexington, state that that
