It is said that the fire has actually added a premium to the valuation of available building lots.

case,
Here's an interesting item: In 1880 there were some 50,000,000 people in the tnited States, and about 882,000 more males than females. That was only because snore males were born ; the females live the longest. Of the centenarians 1,409 were neu, and 2,607 were women. The boys start out nearly a million ahead, and are in (he majority until the sixteenth year, when the girls are a little more numerous. Sweet sixteen is & LuMeroUs age, anyhow. \fter that, first one and then the other is n the majority, the girls gradually gaining after thirty-six, and leaving the men far behind after seventy-five. To balance this longevity of the females, in almost every State a few more boys are born; not many more, but almost always a few. It is astounding to see, where the census gives thousands and hundreds of thousands of boys and girls under one year old, that there ave, with one or two exceptions, ai- ways a few hundred more boys, and only a lew hundred more. In only six of the forty-nine States and Territories are more girls born, and in these States they are very slightly in excess—from eleven to eighty. These exceptions are Arizona,
Delaware, lorida, Louisiana, Montana and North Carolina.

; EXAMINER, -
the Southern States, as compared with 1880, has doubled, while the number of spindles and looms have trebled, the ten- dency being to build mills of greater capa- city than formerly. From 161 mills having 667,854 spindles and 14,323 looms im 1880, this industry has increased until there are now 355 mills with 2,035,268 spindles and 45,041 looms; moreover there are many mills under construction and projected, and a number of old mills are increasing their capacity. Letters from leading manufac- turers in the South as to the outlook for the cotton industry indicate that the pro- duction of coarse cotton goods in the South is temporarily in excess of the demand, and that the South must diversify its cot- ton manufactures, make the finer goods, and also seek foreign markets by the aid of direct steamship lines to South America: There is already a growing tendency toward the production of finer goods, and one South Carolina mill is making goods that are dargeiy imitated, on account of their excellence, by New England mills.
—The Independent of New York says: ‘The conviction of Sullivan marks a stage in the progress of civilization. The civ il- ivation of the Roman Empire would slaugh- ter hundreds of gladiators in the circus to delight equally the grave senators, the tender women and the rabble of the metro- polis of the world, In our father’s day, and in our own, great crowds, unhindered, have followed the principals of famous fights, and no law interfered with their public display. Now we see Sullivan, the last of his race, hunted out of the ring into the county jail, like a vulgar chicken thief. [his is the last of the old gladitorial circus. In our day the thing is finished. The Greek and Roman boxers fought with iron knuckles that they might more surely kill theirepponents. The fight to the finishing knock-out is now ended forever, and the iron knuckles are replaced by padded gloves, and the deadly contest becomes a safe game of skill. | Who says the world is not growing better? This past week has brought us the end of a barbarism which Christianity first attacked in the days of Constantine, and which is now exterminat- ed, except as it lingers in the black conceal ment of midnight hours. Our days are better than those of our fgthers. The Governor of Mississippi stands high on the shoulders of the governors of thirty years ago. His Christianity has a clearer sight of right and wrong. We hope that the Boston Pilot, which has had some tender exculpating words for John 4. Sullivan, will rejoice with us in this victory of law and Christianity.”

Bishop of Nova Scotia’s Visitation,
His Lorpsutr visited the parish of Mil- ton on Wednesday morning and St. Peter's and St, Paul's in this city on Thursday morning end afternoon re- spectively.
This morning all the clergy of the Island, with the exception of the Rectors of Mil- ton and Albertoa, met His Lordship at the Rectory of St. Paul’s and immediately ad- journea to St. Paul’s Church for a cele- bration of the Holy Communion at 6 o'clock. The Bishop celebrated (assisted by the Archdeacon of Prince Edward Is- land) and delivered a most helpful, com- forting and sympathetic address to the as- sembled clergy upon their duties and trials as ‘* Stewards of the Mysteries of God.” Every word spoken by the chief pastor came with a hallowed power enhanced by the eloquently calm brightness of the morn- ing hour, and each laborer in God’s harvest field arose from his knees invigorated and encouraged.
The Bishop and clergy adjourned ¢o the rectory for breakfast, and immediately thereafter to the Cathedral Church of St. Peter’s for the purpose of instituting the Archdeacon and assigning him his position therein. The service, at which all the clergy and a fair congregation were pre- sent, consisted of shortened Morning Prayer which was said by the Priest- Incumbent, the lessons being read by the Bishop and the Rev. Fred. KE. J. Lloyd— the latter also carrying the Pastoral Staff. The Letters of Institution were read by the Rey. James Simpson, who was then called, as “'Priegt-Incumbent of this Cathedral Church,” to conduct the newly-instituted Archdeacon to the stajl assigned to him. Luncheon was served at St. Paul's rectory, and in the afternoon a meeting, of which a) report will appear to-morrow, was held in connection with the D. C. 8., the day con cluding with evening Prayer in St. Paul’s

Charch Opening.
The new Presbyterian Church at More'l, St. Peter's Bay, was opened last Sabbath, according to appointment, Rev. Mr. Cor- bett occupying the pulpit morning and evening, and Rev. Mr. Slackford in the afternoon. The brethren preached with great power to large audiences, and the people showed thejr good-will by a magni- ficent collection. This charch is beautiful- ly situated on rising ground looking out on the Morell harbor and surrounding bay, | And it is worthy of the situation for it is handsomely finished within and without. A correspondent writes: ‘‘A skilful artist, Mr. McLean, of Cardigan, did the plaster- ing and cornicing. Mark Wright & Co., famous as workeys jn wood, did their part in stained ash and walnut. We doubt that any country church on the Island can boast , of making so near approach to perfection. and the congregation is to be congratu- lated.”
fasted 67 Days.
Robert Marvel, after fasting 67 days, died at Indianapolis on the 20th inst., aged 85 years. On June 13 Mr. Marvel ate his last square meal. For thirty-six days he took absolutely nothing into his stomach. On the thirty-eighth he bit off a piece of pie, but did not eat it. On the 39th day he drank a little milk and at regular periods continued todoso. All told, he drank not exceeding one gallon of milk in the 67 days of his fast. e@ was reduced to a living shadow. After fastin a full month he one day arose from and seizing a pan of water drank some of it. After that milk and water were left near him and occasionally he would rise and drink a little. During last week Marvel was bedfast, except at times, when he would spring up and wander about the house and porch. Sores came upon him by reason of his long confinement. His fast is the longest on record, so far as known.
His trouble began with apoplexy and para-
