Walker, the superin tendent of the last census, con tributes to the October Century a paper abounding in interesting and important facts rleaned from the census returns since the first enu meration in 1790. In discussing the condition of the United States, at the tenth census in 1880, he says: Tlie period between 1850 and 1880 has been marked by the as tonishingly rapid spread of popu lation over the vast region brought under the flag of the United States by the purchase of Louisiana, the annexation of Texas, and the ces sions from Mexico. The 980,000 square miles of territory occupied by settlements in 1S.0 have be come 1,570,000. Of these, 331,820 have between J2 and G inhabitants to the square mile; 373,890 have between 0 and IS; 551,'JOO be tween IS and 45; 32,010 between 45 and 00; while 21,550 have in excess of 00 inhabitant to the square mile. The population of the United Slates i? now 50,155, 783. The frontier line of settle ment is, in general, the one hun dretli degree of longitude as far north as the forty-second parallel of latitude, and, .thence northward, the ninety-ninth and afterward the ninety-eighth degree. The distribution of the popula tion according to dominant topo graphical features may be thus stated: On the immediate Atlan tic coast, north, 2,G1G.892; middle, 4,375,184; south, S75,3Si"; on the Gulf coast, 1,055,851; in the hilly and mountainous region of the north-east. 1,G69,22G; in the moun tainous region of the central At lantic slope, 2,344,223; in the im mediate region of the Lakes, 3, 040,470; on the table-lands and elevated plateaus of the interior, 5,710,326; in the south central mountainous region, 2,095,085; in the Ohio Valley, 2,442,792; on the south interior table-lauds and plateaus, 3,0-27,438; in the Mis sissippi belt, south, 710,208, north, 1,991,362; in the south-west central region, 2,932,807; in the central region, 4,401,240; in the prairie region, 5,922,485; in the Missouri river belt, 835.455; on the western plains, 323,819; in the heavy timber region of'the north west, 1,122,337; in the Cordiileran region, 932,311; on the Pacific coast, 715,789. , Although the territory of the United States extends to the forty ninth parallel, only one-tenth ol the poulation is found north of the forty-third." But so dense is the settlement below this line that, by the time the forty-first parallel is reached, about one-third of the population has been covered; the next simgle degree extends the population nearly to one-half, while more than two-thirds lie north oLthe thirty-eighth parallel. Between the foity-third and the thirty-eighth dwell 29,500,000 of our people. Tn 1870, 52.S per cent, of the population was east of the eighty-fourth meridian. In 1880, only 49.4 per cent, was so placed. Eighty-foui per cent, of the population is found east of the ninety-first meridian; 97 per cent, casfoof thoiiinety-seventh. . The foreign elements of our population have varied widely since 1850. At that time foreign ers constituted 9.5 per cent, of the total population; they now consti tute 13.3 per cent. .Of the foreign residents of 1850, 43.5 per cent. were Irish; 26.4, Germans; 13.9 English and Welsh; 0.7, British Americans; while the Scandina vians formed Jess than one per cent. Since that time, the pro portion of Irish to the other foreign elements has steadily declined. Of the arrivals in the ten years ending 1850, .the Germans were 25 per cent..; of those in the ten years cndfng in 1S60, they were 37 per cenfc Between 1860 and 1870, other foreign elements be- Sn to assume importance through t? fast increasing immigration ot Swedes and Norwegians across the ocean, and of Canadians across - i.1 t i iir i our norinerii noraer. we nave : seen thai the Irish of 1850 consti tuted -13.5 per cent, of the total j foreign population. In 1SC0, this I population had fallen to oS.9, and j in 1S70, still further, to 3U.:. Although the statistics of nation ality at the census of 18S0 are not ' yet published, it is not probable that the Irish to-day constitute more than 27 per cent, of the foreign population of the country, j To-day the number of foreign ers living among us is a little over 0,500,000, while the members of the colored race reach almost that number. Speaking roundly, then, the following is the table to our populatien: Wholc number. . . ., r.O,ikK5,000 Forcicners Grion.oo Total native-born.

There were great rejoicings over the event. In granting a franchise? the Mcxicansjhavo been careful to specify the heights and fares that shall prevail, and in exacting other conditions, which ought to prevent any complauts which arc so fre quen t in the United States. The continual warfare over railroad matters, to a considerable extent; offsets the good which they ought to bring to a countrv. stems. At North Cove, Y. T..
