THE TIMES-JOURNAL — 1 LBLtSBLD YKttY FRIDAY BY 3 v. rroxzs. a. xl cxiutie. STOKES & CARNES, -aT EASTMAN. GEORGIA 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. GENERAL NEWS. CONDENSATION OF CURIOUS. AND EXCITING EVENTS SEWS 1BOH XVFETWHEEE—ACCIDESTS, STRlXKi »LRES, AXD BAJ'SEEISOS Of 1K.KBEST.
