VOL. I. The world’s coinage in 1890 showed a falling off of $10,000,000. The freight movement in the United States may be simply expressed by say ing it is equal to 200,000,000 tons hauled one mile each day of the year. In the last thirty years Canada has added 1,500,052 to her population. In the same length of time, signiticantiy compares the San Francisco Examiner , the United States has added 31,443,227 to hers. There are in Sweden, according to the last census, 143,669 more women than men, being equal to 1062 women for every 1000 men. Most women in Sweden marry between their twentieth and twenty-fifth year. The returns show that there has been an immense apparent decrease in crime in Great Britain in the last quarter of a century. In 1864 there were 2800 con victs in the various penal institutions. In 1890 there were but 729. Since 1882 eight prisons have been diverted to other uses. Barillas has forgotten the late of his predecessor of like name, Barrios, and is playing dictator in Guatemala. If the history of his own country affords him no admonitions, remarks the Philadel phia Record , he might observe current events in Chili. This a bad season for tyrants. : - The Danish Society for the cultivation of heaths, with the support of the Gov ernment, is rewooding one hundred square miles of heath in Jutland. The work was begun in 1886 with one square mile. The society now numbers 14,000 members and is enthusiastically supported by communities and private individuals. Last year it purchased plants to the value of $16,000, and about $67,000 are an nually expended for planting and culti vation of heaths. Malarial- "• w - 0 quantities of quinine will be pained to know, believes the New Orleans Picayune , that in the manufacture of this drug there is quite as much misery as in the disease which it alleviates. The making pro duces cutaneous eruptions accompanied by a fever, the vapor from boiling solu tions being the chief cause. Some can not work in cinchona. About ninety per cent, are more or less affected. Blondes are more susceptible than brunettes. The white population of Hawaii is de creasing rapidly by emigration, aud the natives are diminishing in uumoers by death. Yet the islands have now more population than at any previous census. The increase is mostly in Chinamen. “The late Kingdom of Kalakaua is ap parently more likely to become a prov ince of the Chinese Empire,” solilo quizes the Philadelphia Rxord, “than to fill its manifest destiny of becoming that outlying California County, of which the San Francisco newspapers have long been dreaming.” The agricultural department at Wash ington is doing a good work, asserts the Boston Cultivator, in propagating a kind of bacteria that arc exceedingly destruc tive to the cabbage worm. As soon as the bacteria fastens ou a worm, it begins to destroy it by sections, aud continues until nothing is left but a little spot. The worm dies almost immediately after its attack. The bacteria is preserved in gelatine and can be seat thus to any dis tance. It propagates so rapidly that when once introduced it soon spreads all over the fields, and in a year or two tnrough an entire neighborhood. That the army of the unemployed is a growing one in this country, may bo from the following statement by the Hon. Carroll D. Wright, United States Commissioner of Labor: “It is prob ably true that the time has arrived when every person in the United States who desires remunerative employment cannot find it. Five hundred thousaud people must compete for 460,000 places. What I am saying has nothing to do with the great army of the unemployed, which through all ages has hung upon the out skirts of civilization. lam dealing sim ply with currents in the way of occupa tion.” In face of the facts from a sta tistician so careful and capable a3 Mr. Wright, asks tie Ati mta Comt\t'cho what becomes of Mr. Atkinson’s cheer ful assertions to the effect that cmploj ment is to be had by every capable per son who wants it?

The term “Adherents” was included in every case, ministers aud members as well as families connected with congre gations. In some cases estimates \yere - aud*income cases they are below.

A Tallahassee, Fia.. dispatch of Mon day says: On Friday last John L. Craw ford, secretary of state, attached his signature and the great seal of the state of Florida to the copy of the proceedings of the joint session of the legislature from April 21st to May 26th, inclusive, certifying to the correctness of the same. This shows, of course, the proceedings of May 26th, upon which date Wilkinson Call was declared duly elected United States senator. This is the oniy instru ment bearing the signature of Craw ford and the seal of the state. He declined absolutely to affix them to the governors certificate of Davidson’s appointment. Some days ago Governor Fleming instructed Attor ney-General Li mar to institute in the supreme court proceedings for issuance of a mandamus compelling Crawford to sign and seal this appointment of David son. Monday morning Lamar filled with the governor his official reply to the governor’s instructions, ir which he declined to institute such pro ceedings, giving his reasons therefor in detail. The attorney general holds that there is nothing in the constitution <>r statutes of that state or of the United States warrantin ; such proceedings. He has from the first been of the opinion that Call was legally elected and would be seated. Call already has in his pos session this certified copy of joint ses sions of the legislature, and Senator Pas- Ico will present it to the United States senate on the opening day of the session. THEY WANT FREE DELIVERY. Congress Will he Asked to Give the Farmers a .Showing. A New York dispatch of Monday says: An organized effort is under w'ay among the fanners to secure from congress free mail delivery in country towns. The Farmers’ Alliance, the Fatrons of Hus bandly and other orders are canvassing the matter, l etters are being written to the congressmen in favor of the project, and petitions to congress for free deliv ery are being circulated in many parts of the country. The farmers assert that the i daily mail delivery at their door will add perceptibly to the money value of their (arms, and will be worth still more be cause it will keep them in touch with the markets and outside i world, and rob farm life of its isolation I and monotony. Tho farmers are writing I to the agricultural press that this con venience would enable them quite gen- I erally to take the daily papers, ns well as I to subscribe for a local papers more I liberally. In the American Agricultural- I it for November, Postmaster General Wanamaker states definitely for the first time that experiments by tho postoffice I department for free delivery in the farm- I ing districts show that the increase of revenue more than pays all increased ex- I penße. He believes that universal free I delivery would, therefore, be self-sustuin imr. SHIP CONTRACTORS FAIL. A Large Ship Building Finn at Boston in Trouble. A Washington dispatch of Monday says: Ihe navy department has been informed of (he failure of Harrison, Lor ing &Cos., ship builders, at Boston, who have contracts for the construction of the armored cruiser No. 11, at $674,000, with a premium for speed, and three steel tug boats at $32,500 each, but as yet has not determined its course in the matter. The cruiser is about half finished, and the tugs are about four-fifths finished. It : s said at the department that the govern ment is amply protected by the bond of. the contractors, which is more than suf ficient to insure the co.> pletion of the vessels. The only question to be deter mined is as to whether this shall be done by the government or by the assignees. The latter course is the most probable one. •t is also stated at the department that T)totr-Jsr,.mptly honored so far as progress ,of the work performed justified. The real cause of the failure is thought to lay in the fact that they undertook to perform naval work at too low a price. THREE REPORTERS KILLED. They Were Sent to Write Up a Midnight Ride on a Fast Train. A Chicago dispatch says: A horrible accident, resulting in the death of three members of the Inter-Ocean staff, the engineer of the train, and serious injury of several other passengers, occurred on the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad Thursday morning about 11 o’clock, at Crete, 111. Those killed were: Leonard Washburne, sporting reporter for the Inter-Ocean; Fred W. Henry, a reporter who came recently from Louisville to Chicago; J. J. McCafferiy, an artist, re cently from St. Louis, and James Clark, engineer. The train left Evans ville early in the morning and proceeded safely to Crete, where it ran into an open switch. The newspa per men who were killed were on the engine, Henry and McCafferty having gone out for the purpose of writing up aud illustrating a midnight ride on a fast train, and Washburne, who was re turning to Chicago from an Indiana trip, having joined his friends on the engine when the accident came without warn ing ; and as the locomotive plunged from the track the four men were caught and completely buried beneath the wreck. A MAMMOTH DEAL. The City of Sheffield, Alabama, Changes Hands. One of the largest deals ever made in the south was closed at Sheffield, Ala., Thursday. Colonel W. M. Duncan and associates secured the entire assets of the Sheffield Land, Iron and Coal Company, the capital stock of which is $1,000,000, paid. Colonel Duncan took it at 97 cents.

It was a gala day for Sheffield. Three more furnaces will soon go in blast. A complete system of waterworks is pledged. Anew hotel, just completed,* costing SIOO,OOO will be opened. Col. Dunran is financially able to carry out his options, and is very en thusiastic. Steel has been successfully made from Sheffield iron made of local ores, coke and stone, and this fact has much to do with the sale. THE RAILS SPREAD And the Cars Dashed Down the Embankment.

A Prominent Italian Assassinated by Members of tbe Order. A New Orleans dispatch of Sunday says: Gatteno Baregona, an Itilian lug ger ownei, wa9assassinate l Friday night.
