A resident of Plymouth, Ill., has pro netted his grapevines from thieves by ■running wires through the arbors and -connecting them with several powerful -electric batteries stored in his woodshed.

This, in point of num bers, far exceeds that of any European nution, with the single exception of Russia, whose population in Europe alone is perhaps greater than that of the 1. nited States by about 10,000,000. Germany contains something over 45,000,000, France less than 40,000,000, Great Britain and Ireland 35,000,080, and Italy under 30,000,000. In all these European countries, with the exception of Russia, tbe increase iu population from year to year, or even from decade to de a'le, is so slight as to be almost imperceptible. On the other hand, the growth in the population of the United States since the war of the revolution is without a parallel. Our territorial limits have been extended until they embrace more than double the area we could legitimately claim when the first treaty of peace with Great Britain was ratified, but meanwhile our population has increased twenty-lold. If (he present rate of increase shall con tinue, the beginning of the "ex', century will find not less than 75,000,000 inhabi tants in this country.

A GREAT MUTINY. j Many years ago, before the English gave; up Tasmania as. 4 u penal colony 1 was a cabin boy on the Australian packet Queen Hess. In those (lavs every packet to Australia Was crowded with emigrants soldiers and {idventurers,.ami on this oe casioii our passenger list had a o-reat many of fhe latter. There seemed to be a regular hegira of bad men from dale’ 1 iver pool and London about (hat and Til venture to sav we had fifty aboard who had no respect for the laws of the land or the high seas. I was thirteen years old the day we left Liverpool, and I had already made one voyage to Australia and return with three Captain Flemming. While we carried cabin boys, I was cn»a<*ed to wait on the Captain alone, lfc tea's very kind and fatlierly to me from the first dav 1 set foot on his ship, and 1 had a much pleasanter boy lot than usually falls to the who takes lo the sea for a living. I don't say that 1 was anv keener than*the average boy of mv but somehow when 1 caiiic to look over our crowd ns we were about ready to sail 1 saw trouble ahead. Two or three trifliuo-incidents bellied me lo make up mv mind to this Most of the sailors who'had been the othev voyage had reshipped for this one. There was one whom 1 positively hated -a ihe bill, night evil-eyed,hang-dog before fellow-an cl on doing : errand for the sailing, „« 1 was an first mate, Mr. Cotton, at a public house near the dock, I saw this sailor and two evil-looking landsmen in close conversation over tlieir ale. It so happened that I stood near them while waiting, and 1 heard one of the men address the sailor with: “Now. is “Yes.” “If they come aboard wc are 10 help ’em take the ship.” “YVe are.” “The women and children and such others as don’t care to join us are to be landed somewhere, and then for a free aiifl-easy life," “That’s tbe talk, mate,” exclaimed Bill. “And it is to be an even divide ot cash all around ?” put in the second lands man. “It is. Wc shall have to have officers, of course but one man will be as <>ood as another, and it shall be share and .share alike.” “And liow nianv mcn have you sounded?” * Bill spread his great, hairy hand on the table and counted off on his fingers. “There's .lack—and Tom—amt Hob bins—ami Whistler - ami -but I guess that's all. It’s too early yet. When you want a man for desperate work don't give him too long ! to think called of it.” ami At this point was away, when I returned to the sliipl and ly to the Captain’s cabin Captains, related all 1 bad heard. Some sea in iheir arrogance and conceit, would have covered m<- with contempt. attentively Captain Hemming listened to n«- he un til I had finished, and then sent me to call Mr. Colton ami Mi. -lohnson, the latter being the second mate. 1 bad to repeat the conversation for their benefit. Air. Cotton didn’t take much stock in my story. He was one of those opinion ated men who never lake kindly to any thing coming second hand. Mr. Hob inson believed I had overheard all I said. but scouted the idea that there was any plan against the ship. The v were or dered to keep Iheir eyes open in every d j rectlon from the hour we sailed, and when they had gone the Captain turned tome with: “Now. Albert, I am satisfied in my own min(() f|om th , r of S0II ,. of the passengers going out with u>, that a plot of some sort is hatching. Von can come and go without suspicion. ning.to-morrow, f want von to kpp P PIP culatuig throuffh tfif day snip* and night and r eyes and eur< open you ne ,.,i ,i„ other work.

Jb’^ad^access ray time either with the sailors in the forecastle or the passengers in the steerage. I remembered the faces of the two men I had seen with Bill in the public house, and realizing that they would he at the head of any plot, I hung around them like a coast fever. Wc had been out thirteen days before 1 picked u]i almostmade a siugle word, and by that time I had myself believe that 1 had brought the Captain a cock-and-bull story. In going among the steerage passengers I put on an oid suit, and those People supposed 1 had parents aboard and was going to the new land. t also assumed a trihittg way. and it was com won other that enough to hear them say to eacli 1 w as light in the upper story, Ihung and about the two me.n a great deal, a§ I made them presents of tobacco ran errands for them, they never drove me away. It was on the afternoon of the thirteenth day that the men were sitting he on iheir chests, and I pretended to asleep on a bundle of stuff near them, that they were joined by three oilier men. The live were quite by themselves, and they had no sooner come together than Bill said: '1 have good news for you. We have twelve sailors won over, and there aic men among the passengers lit to < '°. 11 ? maucl » who will gladly join ' V1 * 1 us w ^ en ^ mc comes.

I looked the lot over very thoroughly, and made up my mind that we had from sixty to seventy men among the stand first class by the who Captain. could be depended on to The, emigrants counted up fully 250, but there were not over fifty men. A good thirty ol the, lot were, single goiug out to take service, and the rest were wives and children. I figured the that there were only seven men m steer who could fight for a ship. They could not well be counted on, however, for a couple of ruffians, armed with pistols, could hold them in check when the hour came.
