—-The latest estimate of the population of the zlobe has heen made by M. d’Am- freville, who places it at 1,479,729,000. The number of inhabitants to the square mile in Asia is 48; in Africa, 15; in Ameri- ea, 8; in Oceanica and the polar regions, 3,im Australia, 1. The yearly increase of the population of the earth is about 5 to every 1,000. At this rate the popvlatiun doubles every 139 years.

— In commenting upon the remarkable ehange of front at Ottawa, the Toronto correspondent of the New York Post, in the course cf adespatch to that paper, observe« that “ifthe announcement of Mr. Fielding, the Finance Minister, follows protectionist Jimes—as mm the case of coal he has openly declared he will do—the curious spectacle will be witnessed of a Gover:iment coming into power under pledges to reverse nearly every important detail o* Conservative policy. and yet, within ten months, being forced by the pressure of conditions to relinquish nearly very p roject of change.”

—Mr. Thomson is one of those frank writers who have strong opinions «pos the pohey of England inthe Eaet. That England is responsible for the desolation and mixery of those partsof the East which bave not yet shaken off the yoke of the Turk is one of hie postulates ; and he

ves this by proving that the alliance of

land and Turkey has been constant under all Administrations. He blames this foreign policy—which is 80 common to both partiee—with a certain degree of irrationality ; for he is in the end com- pelled to admit that “ it is becoming eyery day more apparent tliat it is due to the action of the English Government that much harsher measures have not been adopied by the powers.” Iu effect the other powers, with a fine contempt for people “ governing themselves” on moun- tain passes, and a total disregard for people whose pictures are in the Graphic, would simply blow them out of existence atonce, and so get rid of them; while England prefers to give them a chance to learn how to show respect for peace and law, and to cultivate fancy farming more and fancy shooting less.

Margaret;4H. Welch, and already notably successful in awakening interest among women’s clubs al] over the country. Among the other contributions there will be charming story by Helen Evertson Smith, entitled “The Widow of Pierre.”

“My wife isa most original woman,” eaid Brown. ‘Why, when I proposed to her, instead of saying ‘this is so sudden, she caid, ‘well, 1 think it’s about time.’ ” Harper’s Bazar. :

MURRAY HARBOR SOUTH NOTES,

John Cairns, Eeq., and family have moved from Little Sands and are now re- siding in this vicinity.

Messrs. John E. Winsloe and Sam Mc- Leod, the veteren goose shooters of this place, have again been at work this sea- son. They display great skill iv killing the feathered tribe; an exceedingly large number of geese and brant having alreaay fallen their victims. Mr. McLeod, the salesman, disposed of a large number of them at satisfactory prices.

The Women’s Missionary Society held a public meeting in the public hall on Wed- nesday the 2let., the spacious hall being comfortably filled. Mrs. (Rev.) J. 8S. Allan presided, The lengthy programme, which consisted of readings, recitations, dialogues, addresses by xevs. J. S. Allan and B. Gillis, duets, etc., was carried out

in @ very creditable manner. At the close a silver collection was taken up and a handsome suin was realized.

A meeting of the Lib.-Con. Association took place in the public hall on Monday evening, the 18th inst. The Branch Presi- dest, Mr. A. P. Prowse presided, and Mr. W. H. Prowse, was Secretary. Mr. A. P. Prowse, after giving a report of the proceedings of the Glen William conven- tion, spoke eloquently on the management of affairs by the present Government. He

THE

considered it the worst that ever ruled the destinies of the Province, In conclud- ing bis speech, he hoped the present incapable and tyrannical Government will be overthrown and supplanted by a more honest and competent one. Mr. Murley entertained the meetivg with a lengthy and very able speech on the finances of the Province. He said: This great saviour, Mr. Peters, said that the province (then under Conservative rnie) was going to ruin and that if he was put in he would make revenue and expenditure meet, avd also that the day of taxation was far off. In the face of this, after having wrung from the people a vast amount of money by taxes—over $30,000 per year for Jand tax alone—they have rolled up an enormous debt. Continuiag, he anid: If, as Mr. Peiers said, the pro- vince was going to destruction under the Conservative rule when there were vo taxes collected and the amount of interest paid was $5,100, where are we to-day, with all these sources of revenue at their dis- posal, when we have to pay $15,000 with $7,000 more on luan? He adduced figures from their own books showing the vast money collected by land tax, commercial travellers’ tax, etc., and the enormous debt they have piled up, although, says he, w:th some of this year’s receipis credited over in Jast year’s accounts and balances carried over, it is impossible to arrive at a true state of the province. Referring to the sinking fund, he thought it was sink- ing fast. Remarks were made by Mesers. W.H. Prowse and James McKay. The meeting then closed. ; / Buu Wemrer.

THE CHEMISTRY OF DEBT.

In the processes of chemistry the various elements appear and disappear and undergo the greatest changes. None of these are 80 strange, however, as the chemical change undergone by money after it has passed from the Jender’s pocket to the borrower’s. Before its transfer the borrower reverenced it from afar; he sighed for it, perhaps begged for it. He was at first eo sure that it would be punc- tually returned that this really seemed to take away half the merit of the lending. When it was once transferred to his own pocket, however, it began to seem a very trifling thing to have lent it or borrowed it—for are we not all brethren ?—and in a little while it seemed to nestle into ite new home like an adopted kitten and to wish to be disturbed no more. It really seems to require a very strong and clear mind, after twenty-four hours, to regard » bor- rowed dollar as still belonging rightfully to the man who lent it, If it be not pro- perly the borrower’s, how is it that his fingers and his purse close over it so peacefully and so happily? Mav it not be, after all, that he has misremembered, and that he did not actually borrow the money, but that it came, by some august dec-ee of fate, into tha hands of the very prrson who needed it most? It would be wrong, he feels inwardly, to interfere with any such proper and ueetul degree of Provi-

STATEMENT OF AN ONLOOKER, Sie,—If was thoronghly surpri-ed fo read your telegraphic description of the Fitzsimmons and Corbett fight. How you came in possession of such a despatch or Who pscatit te you was to me a mystery. It only goes to show the prejudice there is against litzsimmons in the United States. It really didn’t contain one line of truth from beginning toend. The most obiec- tionable passage in the whole thing was “Just as Fitzsimmons was going to pieces he managed to get in a blow that ended the fight.” Now, the facts are that Fitzsim- mous did not begin to fight in earnest until the seventh round, Corbett sparred skil fully from beginning to end, but after the sixth round wis blows lacked steam, and they grew visibly weaker until the end. lo the twelfth and thirteenth rounds the despatches that were sent all over the United States were: *'Fitzsimmong fizht- ing hike ademon and growing stronger; Corbett becoming weaker and less confi- dent.”

it is reaily amusi.ug to witness the attempts that have beea made to let Corbett down easy and to leasea the fuil synificance of Fitzsimmons victory. As one who was present and watched the fight closely [ assert without hesitation that at no time could Corbett he:adto bein the fight. Just as svon as it was seen that Fitz could reach Corbett’s stomach and head, every one knew that it was only a question of time when he must succumb to ove of those terrible drives which have won Fitzsimmons 300 victories.

Corbett won the favorable corner while Fitz had to face the sun full in his tace. At the beginning of each round, the first thing Fitz weuld do would be to vox Corbett out of his corner and take possession of it aim- self. Corbett was utterly unable to pre- vent this. He would jab Fitz on the nose and mouth, but Fitz apparently paid no attention to this, but sailed in and drove his opponent around thering. Corbeit’s style is to jab and jump away, but he Wasu’t quite quick enough to get out of the reach of Fitz’* boney arms. Corbet: # “jabs” brough down old Sullivan in the eud, but they were utterly wasted on the p ece of steei now before him.

Prize figh ing may le a dishonorable pastime, but even at the ring side one could not help but admire the sublime courage exhibited by the man Fitzsimmons entering the ring gat 1574 and Corbett at 184. Here he had to face the conqueror of John L. Sullivan, an audience of 5,000 people, one half of whom were personal friends of Corbett and nine-tenths of the whole his sympathizers. The Cornish- m un who came up from the mines to cheer tueir countrymen had to submit to a!) kinds of jeers and insults. Here, too, were gathered allthe thieves who had robbed Bob of a fight and $10,000 a few days before in San Francisco. Corbett, too, had exhibited the bad taste of carrying a little green flag with him in the, corner and nineteen tweotieths of the crowd carried a g e n Loquet on ibe ieppel of their coats to encourage their mau. Snch a display would have chilled the ardour and dam pened the courage of almost any other man ov earth than Bob Fitzsimmons.

It was easy to sez when the ftow- teenth round was begun that Bob intended it should be the last. And when the fatal blow was landed and Corbett fell to the floor and rolled in agony, Fitz knew that the work was done. He sprang back ten feet from his prostrate foe, both fists clenched and drawn and a look of ‘deter- mination in his face that was simp'y awful, and ready, should Corbett struggie to his feet within the ten seconds, to give him one more that we ail felt thaukful was uot delivered.

Now that prejudice is beginving to sub- side and j-alousies to disappear, it is admitted by everyone that Corbett was outclass:d, outfought aod outgeneraled. Jobn L. Sullivan says that Corbett could never be made to beat him. Brady (Cor- bett’s trainer) say+: “We were whipped fairly and rquarely.” ~° Corbett himself admits it. Siler says, “no man living bas any chance with Fitz.” The merits of both men were summed up by an e<pert— “Corbett isa sparrer—Fitz is a figlter, and this goed judge says he is the greatest fighting machine that bas ever appeared in a ring. No one knows what Bob Fitzsimmons is capable of doing until he meets some one who is nearly his match. That he was good for 50 or 60 more rounds is not disputed by anyone who saw the fight. One person described the blow that knocked out Corbett as sufficient to “sliver a plank.” And yet it was only a short blow—Fitz says the lightest one by which he ever knocked out a big man. It was not intended tg be the knock out biow, but the one which was to foliow and which Corbett would have. got on the point of the jaw, only that Corbett’s knees reached the floor and Fitz kept it back expecting him to rise.

Tho Way They Did It,

Chauncey M. Depew says that he has had personal experience in seeking office —not for himself, however, but for oth- crs—from every Republican president. He says that Mr. Lincoln would always listen attentively to what he had to say and then tella funny story. On his way back to the hotel he would think over the story, and finally see that it landed his candidate way out of sight.

General Grant always received an application for cffice as toasts to the memory of Washington are druvk-—— etanding and in silence.

President Hayes listened fcr awhile, then broke out into I:mentations that

the atteuticn of the president of the ,

United States should be diverted from the great affairs of state to distribute patronege. 'CThcn he would make a mem- orandum in a little red book, which was to remind him not to do it.

General Garficld Would put his arm around your neck, tell you how much he loved yeu and then forget what you had asked of him.

President Arthur would listen with polite attentton to all you had to say, then refer you to some man in New York whom you were never able to find,

President Harrison would sink down fato his chair until you had presented the claims of your candidate aad then thange the subject.

She (precluding it with a kiss)—So you went down to see papa this morning about a rather—er—tender matter, eh?

He (sweetly)—Yes, darling.

She—And you poured forth your in- most soul— ,

He—Yes, dear. I confessed everything.

She—Made it perfectly explicit about your present position and your prospects for the future, eh?

He— Made a clean breast of it all.

She—Told painly the sweet secret of my loving you in return, and only awaiting his sanction, and all that, eh?

He—Yes, love. I quoted your own gentle love vows and your resolves to stand by me through thick and thin for- ever.

She—That’s right. You certainly are very brave. How did he receive all these tender tidings?

He (hesitatingly)— I — er —really—I don’t know as yet.

She (in amazement)—But you saw papa, did you not?

e—Yes. I stood on the street corner and saw him come out of the office and go to get his lunch.

She—And then. you went to lunch with him, eh? Oh, how clever!

He—No, I went up into his office and poured forth my soul—into his phono- graph. He's got it all by this time.

She—Ah, that’s what he meant then when at dinner to-night he said he took his hatchet and smashed his phonegraph to bits.

He—Thank heaven!

She—For what, pray?
