THE WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCTION.

Year by year the gold production of the world is increasing, and the results for 1891 were the largest on record. In round numbers the production for the last five years was as follows : —IBB7, 5,097,G000z. ; 1888, 5,251,0000 z.; 1880, 5,641,00002!.; 1890, 5,580,000 oz.; 1891, G,033,0000z. For the first time for many years there was a slight set back in IS9O. A noticeable feature of recent years has been the development of the Witwatersrand gold-fields. The production of, these fields has been as follows :—IBBB, 34,8970 z.; 1888, 230,9170 z. ; 1889, 379,73307,. ; 1890, 49i,8010z.; and 1891 729,2130 z. Adding in 1891 the output of other Transvaal goldfields, which amounted to about 107,0000 z., the total production of the Transvaal for 1891 reaches 836,2500 z. For the current year it is expected that the production will quite reach 1,250,0000 z. In 1888 the Transvaal only produced 4A per cent, of the world's yield, but in 1891 the proportion had risen to 13. S per cent., and this year it is tolerably certain to reach 21 per cent. The following was the production in 1890 for the countries named : United State?, about 1,58G,5000z.; Australia, 1.,469,2Q00z, $ and

Russia, 1,019,0000 z. As the return for these countries has not altered to any large extent, the Transvaal will probably take third place for the current year, and very likely the second place in 1893. Mining in the Transvaal has not yet reached its culminating point, as new mines are being constantly opened, and old ones still further developed.

A worthy married couple, living in the circuit of Meeritz, in Germany, during the past year had five children added to their family circle. The mother of the children is the wife of a master smith, named Hausler, of Kaincht.

These corrective, purifying, and gentle aperient Pills are the best remedy for all defective action of the digestive organs. They augment the appetite, strengthen the stomach, correct biliousness, and carry off all that is noxious from the system. Holloway's Pills are composed of rare balsams, unmixed with baser matter, and on that account axe peculiarly well adapted for the young, delicate, and aged. As this peerless medicine has gained fame in the past, so will it preserve it in the future by its renovating and invigorating qualities, and the im possibility of its doing harm.
