The following is,, in loiuicl numbers, the i elisions condition of the woild : — Heathen, 85(5,000,000 ; Horn m Catholics, 1!)0,000,000 ; Mahommedans, 170,000,000; Piotest,inls, 110,000,000: Cheek Church, 54,000,000 ; Jews, 8,000,000. A. (thNTLi.M^v met an uncertain acquaintance, who &aid : " I'm a little shoit, and bhould like to ask aconunduim in mental aiithmetic." "Piocced/'ieplied the gentleman. " Well," said the shoit man, " .suppose you had 10 dollats in >om pocket, and I bhould j^k you for .") dollars. How much would remain '{" " Ten dollais," was the prompt reply. A L\Th Ficncli papei gives this homily against mainage in a dialogue between a dospo.ii ing man about to jump from a hi ldge into the -cine and a policeman who is lestrmning him : " iha\c a wife and sheisiieh," "Go, then, and li\e with hei." "My despair does not reach that d i cad ful pitch."' " Diown, then — it will be a relief." And drown he did. Tiil tide of European immigration (says the Continent) has for s>o many years sent its main current in the direction of the United States, that we have almost come to think that nobody goes anywhere else. This, however, is far fiom true. Of late the influx of Germans to the laige English cities has l-een such as to cause some inconvenience. The immigi ants come well equipped with such English as can be learned in the German public schools, and are fully competent to undeitake any ordinary clerical work, while their habits of frugality nnd industiy enable them to underbid English competitors. Again, it lias lately been ascertained that over 1,000,000 persons of foreign birth aie now lesident iv Fiance, a tolerably large percentage when we remember that its very existence has until quite recently been unsuspected. Belgians heads the list, furnishing half the total, but the immigration from Italy is on the increase, as also is that from Spain, and even from Germany. This inter change among the States of Eur pc has been lost sight of in the general transatlantic drift, but it deserves the attention of statisticians, and will no doubt receive it.
