Ai Mr. Beecher has been meddling with politics since long before some of us were bcra, it is not difficult to guess the view he Trill take of this interesting subject. Tax London Spectator has this to say of Honsdorf, the fanatic who attempted to tlotr up Kaiser Wilhelm at Niederwald: 'Tha can is said to have been a singularly Zzind cue, especially toward women and c-il2rrn; he cross-examined witnesses with C-lll; be described himself as a martyr who slllsd the .scriptural command to be faithful even unto slaying,1 and he is evidently cae of thecs strange modems who era filled with the passion cf piety until try lernst alike righteousness and justice.

WEALTH 113 INCREASE. ETC. Figures and statistics are rot necessarily dull reading. Yet many people have aa Instinctive dread of an j thing that expresses itself in columns of figures, or the ucrocaantic appearance of a page of statistics. The facts recently gathered by the noted English statistician, Mr. Mulhall, regarding the increase of wealth, and recently published In tie North American Review, are brimful cf interest. They demonstrate marvellous axd unexpected results. In a single generation the countries of Ecrope have doubled their capital, while the increase of population has hardly exceeded GO per cent. In fifty-four years Great Britain has almost trebled her wealth. France has nearly quadrupled hers, and in thirty-four years the United States have multiplied their eapital tlx fold. As theee three countries have been the greatest accumulators of wealth in recent years, Mr. Malhall presents their simultaneous growth in wealth under very opposite circumstances. The average wealth per in habitant has been as follows: Year. G. Britain. If- O............, .. ..... S i4 1 ......... ...... .. m.H 9t8 1k i ...... ........... ...... 1,213 Fru"'. 1.C92 C. State. Hi ais 931 These figures show that since 1S50 France has made the greatest gain, but her population has grown only 7 per cent., while that of Great Britain has increased S3 per cent.,' ) end that of the United States has increased so rapidly that though our capital has been doubling every twenty year3, the increase per capita from .1870 to 1531 was only $15. France during the same fourteen years increased her average $3K)per capita. During these feurteen years, when so much has been heard of trade depression, falling prices and commercial loss in Great Britain, eays Mr. Mnlhall, how are we to explain her unexampled pi03perity as shown by her increase of wealth? And he answers: "I am inclined to think it is due to the increase of British Ehipping, British banking and British colonial, industries." h nd he produces statistics in support of this view. One itm is that in 1831 the British flag carried 03.000,000 tons cut of 120,000,000 tons of sea-borne merchaudiae, or nearly onehalf. In fact, h's says, the carrying trade of the world i3 passing into British hands. Mr. Mnlhall states, and statistics show, that during the past fourteen years Frenchmen have saved more per capita than Englishmen or Americans, and he adds: "This Is a phenomenon deserving the study of economists both In Europa and America." But ho dees not attempt to explain it, though he adduces the greatest increase in the price of lands and of railway investments in France as forming important elements in that increase. lie continues: "When we turn to the United States we find a country of unlimited resources and great industry, yet the annual accumulation is not much more than in the United Kingdom. In factr if Ireland were excluded, the savings of the British people would reach 5 per bead, precisely the same as in the United State. This is at first disappointing, for we ere naturally predisposed to Imaging that there is in the United States more aUluence, a greater margin over the cost of living, than in the crowded island of Great Britain. It is true that from 1S50 to 1870 the yearly accumulation averaged fit a head, notwithstanding the terrible devastation caused by the war. But in future we can cot expect to see the savings exceed $25, for the Americans seem less disposed to accumulate than to enjoy wealth." Mr. Mnlhall next examines the accumulations of this country by divisions or groups of 8tates, and eays: "The dicade ending with 1830 saw the ascumulitions of the New England and Middle States decline more than .half, while those of the Western Stites kept almost uniform. In the whole term of tnirtv years tbe Union has averaged a little over ?l 300,WO.OOO yearly, of which exactly half corresponds to the Western States." Comparing the annnal accamnlatioas of the different groups of States per inhabitant, he finds In the decade 1SÖ0C0 this result: New England, $20 for each inhabitant; iliddle States, $27; South, $37; West, $32. For the decade 1870-80: New England, 10; Middle 8tates, $33; South, $0; West, $11; and upon this he remarks: "Here we see the reverse of what Is taking place in England; the wealth of the country, or at least the accumulation, is tending Westward to the prairies, whereas in England the agricultural capital and farming interests are every year diminishing. Poetic writers are in the habit of telling us that agriculture is the basis of all wealth that the plow is the emblem cf prosperity, but these eeutiments must be received cautiously. It would teem to be the interest of every nation, and of mankind, that the agricultural or psstoral element should not predominate, but rather the commercial. Merchants are the best statesmen, and mercantile communities are the most prosperous and enlightened." And he concludes bis article with these interesting general observations: "In the meantime the accumulation of wealth goes on from day to day. The American adds 7 cents daily to the public fortune, which means the United States are nearly $4,000.000 richer at sunset than they were at eur rise. The accumulations of Europe and the United States make up $11,009.000 daily, and the increase of copulation, that is, the excess of births overdeuths, is 11,000; so that for every new comer into the world there is an addition of $1,000, to provide for his necessities. As a natural result of the increase of the wealth, the material condition of nations is improving; not only is the average consumption of meat, coffee, tea, sagar, etc, rising all over Earope; not only are gas and water snnply extended to minor towns and villages; not only do the saviags banks of Europe show a steady increase of deposits amounting to $110,000,000 annually, bnt all the appliances of civilization are multiplied; new harbors and light-houses are constructed for the common benefit of man kind; as if nations in becoming richer, also become more generous, mere mindf al of the golden precept, 'Let no man live for himself.' " If these latter conclusions are trie of Earopo, as there appears to be no doubt they are, they are nndeubledly tnae in a etill larger degree In the Unitsd S tates. Pkisck Alfkrt YiCToa enjoys the remarkable distinction of being the first heir to the heir apparent to the British throne who grew to manhood. Foreign Item. The eon of Edward the "Bi set Prince" was heir to the heir apparent of Edward III., succeeded his grandfather on the throne, and grew to manhood as King. 80 did George III,, con of Frederick, Piince of

Wales, and heir apparent, who died and let bi3 eon succeed his father, George II. Frederick, during sll his life in England, was at outs with his parents, and his trying to keep in favor with the Whigs as well as the Tories suggested the satirical hit in "Gulliver" conveyed in the account of the practice of the son of the KiDg of Liiliput wearing one high heel on his shoes and one lor one, "which caused a slight limp in his gait." None cf the3e ' heirs cf heirs apparent," however, grew to manhood in the lives of their fathers. F.icbard was eleven when crowned and George IIL thirteen when hi3 father died. It was ot the father of George III. that tha queer epitaph was perpetrated during his life; Here Ilea Fred. Who was aliye and Is dead.

THE SPANISH TBE IT Y. This is the came given to certain negotiations pending between Spain and the United States. But we trust we are not violating diplomatic confidences when we say that the proposed overtures relate practically almost wholly to the commercial intercourse between our own country and tha Spanish islands in the Gulf of Mexico. The object of the new treaty is to increase and facilitate the business of the exchange of commodities between this continent and the hlands referred to, especially Cuba. A glance at the statistics shows that threefourths of the commerce of this, one of the wealthiest islands in tha world, is carried on with countries sit a ate across the Atlantic 3,000 miles away; that very little cf it, comparatively, ia transacted upon our coasts, though they are only a few hours' sail from Havana. This state of affairs is neither natural nor advantageous. Many of the products of Cuba are in demand in the United States. On the other hand, very many of cur own productions are needed in the islands; and we therefore favor the policy of providing, as far as possibly consistent with the exigencies ef revenue, that the intercourse between the people of the two countries shall be easy and inexpensive and as liberal as practicable. These negotiations have been conducted on the part of our Government by Mr. Forster, an ol d citizen and resident of Indiana, formerly engaged at Evansvllle very largely in practical business pursuits. We make no doubt that the interests of the Northwest, of the entire Mississippi Valley, have been carefully considered and are to be materially promoted by the terms of this international project. We notice that the burst of opposition t3 the confirmation of the treaty comes almost altogether from the classes cillei highly protected under the existing tariff law, now regulating trade between the two countries. But this Is no cause for its rejection rather a reason why it should be favored. We need hardly expect that the advantages flowing from the adoption of such a compact will be all on our side. Both parties to it have sought and desired a mutual benefit In its enforcement. We believe that the effect of its provisions will be euch as to substantially advance the welfare of the masses of the people of both conntries, notwithstanding that it may operate to the disadvantage of certain' special classes. The treaty, if adopted, being the highest and latest law, will control and modify existing regulations, and so will, in tome degree, alleviate and lessen the evils of certain high prohibitory tariff measures, made in the behalf of a tew favsred and privileged monopolies engaged in the West Indian trade. Of this we most heartily approve. Perhaps, after all, the treaty making power, if properly and justly exercised, might rid us of many evils of this kind as much as any mere domestic leg'slation. We favor any measure, national or international, which shall give us a better market for American products and manufactures, and which will tend to remove the deadlock in trade now prevalent, induced by the glutted and closed markets of tariff exclusion. Only thirty years ago much nsed to be said among us about the acquisition cf Cuba. We think this sentiment not dead cow only dormant. Indeed, we think it fully alive yet to the extent that although the Uland may adhere to Spain, we should be very unwilling to witness lt3 transfer to the possession of any other power in Europe. We think the new regulations respecting commercial intercourse with that island will tend at least to a better and closer acquaintance between oarselvei and its people. Trade is a great means of introduction and alliance. We have no objections to even an intimate connection and friendship with the "ever faithful Ialo." The Gem of the Antilles may yet sparkle among our own stars and stripes. In the Congress of 1035 the Senator from Cuba may be as well known a figure aa the Senator from Kansas or Kentucky. This would be a consummation in the direct line of historio precedent, for we believe that since the beginning of the present century, with the exception of Alaska, every foot of territory acquired or annexed by ns has ence formed a part of the Spanish dominions in North America. OF WHAT IS OUB EARTH, IIS AGE, ETC? The terrible earthquakes wnich have recently almost depopulated some of the towns ef Spain and terrified the people of certain sections of our own country suggested, perhaps, the recent paper of the eminent astronomer, Mr. Troctor: "It may interest many to learn in this connection," eays he,'."that in the California regions of disturbance, the moet active on the North American continent, astronomical and geodeticsl observations indicate not only a most irregular arrangement of the matter forming the earth's crust, but als that changes are taking place beneath the surface." The direction of gravity, he says, Is altered by the attractions of irregularly distributed masses under the crust, and in such degree that distances measured do not correspond with distances indicated by astronomical observations. Moiecver, "the deflections observed now are not the same as those observed thirty yean ago. It ia clear then that irregularities exist beneath the crust such as may at any time

lead to subterranean convulsions in North America." The old theories were th.it earthquakes were the result cf internal Sres, which, generating steam through ocean leakage, would produce explosions. Proctor says, in regard to this matter: "While we still recognize internal heat as the immediate cause of subterranean movements, we reccgnizs as ths cause of this heat the energy pervading the earth's mass. It is the earth'i attractive energy, steadily acting upon her crust, which generates the heat by which that crust is disturbed." The philosophy of thl3 principle msy be thus briefly expounded for the general reader. By the loss cf the earth's internal heat, and the gradual contraction of its masses of solid substance, "room i3 left," according to this philosopher, "for the movemen tin ward ol the rock Eubstanc83 of the crust, with crushing, grinding action, accompanied; by the generation of immense heat." Thus, he adds, so leng as the force of gravity ccn:ini:e3 to have matter to act upon efUc'ently, the earth's vitality will Continus. Acr crding to this theory which Mr. Proctor eays is an "established fact" the tendency is toward 1 diminished manifestation cf earthquake energy; butthejtendancy iseo slowly developed as to practically amount to nothing in any one century. "The earth's vitality is apparently the same now as it was a thousand years ego, and as it will be a thousand years hence." It teems a slight process, this slow, steady and insensible ccrxtractioa of the earth's crust, and people can not S3e how it can generate a force (in the form of heat) that produces earthquakes. "But," says the astronom?r, "whatever amount of heat is required to expand a given mass in such and such a desree, the tame precise amount of heat will be generated by the contraction of the mass in that degree. When we consider what a tremendous hsat would be required to expand the globe of the earth so that Its surface should be measurably increased, we see hoT processes of contraction, altogether too slight to produce moasurable dimunition of any part of the earth's surface, correspond to most effective local aocessions of temperature." The condition of matter inside our earth ü largely, If net -exclusively, a 3ubjectof conjecture. Many eavans begin to suspect that the antiquity cf our race is far greater than evsn modern geologists will admit. The old idea that the earth isonlyG.OOO years old has been abandoned by more advanced thought, and now one seems r?ady to accspt any theory hich will

express in almost fabulous lng periods cf time the age of our planet. Yet in all this time, mankind never have learned the real condition of thin 3 even one mile below the surface of the globe on which their endless generations have arisen and vanished. Mr. Proctor's assumption of a universal molten Interior may be right . or wrong. One of the most ingenious reasoners on the laws of volcanic action, Mr. Judd, an Englishman, dos not believe the earth's great interior is a mass of molten matter, but that it is extremely solid, consisting of magnetic iron. He explains this unquestionable heat that is encountered near the surface by a very possible chemical reason, and assigns to the heated belt only a limited vertical area. However this may be, Mr. Proctor takes what is perhaps more tenable ground in turning from the earth to the sun, and ascribing the source of solar host to the sun's contraction. Thus does gravitating energy Newton's still mysterious lawgenerate the beet that originates and maintains all the forms of life in our world, as in therestot the solar eystem. It seems indeed to be, as Mr. Troctor believes, the source of all life, and ot all forms of movement, ia the universe; for what is true of onr sun is true of the countless other euns which we call the stars of space. This view of the subject does indeed "seem to present gravitation as in a eense associated directly with the great First Cause." Ok a reform recently inaugurated in Georgia an exchange says: "The Georgia Legislature inaugurated a few months ago the system of employing women to do the clerical work of that body. This week the work was completed, and when it was examined it was fonnd to be 50 per cent, cleaner and more correct than bad ever been done by male clerks. The experiment is regarded as a success in every way. There is no reason why some of our public ofUcss should not be cleared of the incompetent political 'heelers in favor of intelligent and clean female workers." TEItSONALS 'Bcrdik" is Mr. Durdett Coutts' pet name for the wife of his bosom. Mrs. Harriet Beicher Stows is spending the winter in Hartford, and is reported as enjoying the best of health. State Senator Kieenan, of New York, ha3 recently married his brother's widow, having first obtained a special dispensation from ths Pope. Sabah Bass bardt is a queer genius. Her latest freak is to turn devout, and write her religions convictions for the newspapers. Sarah was always too thin, RceKiN says Athene, the Goddess of Wisdom, banged her hair. The modern goddesses do not confine their banging exclusively ta the hair, we regret to say. Busixx&s in astronomy must be very dull when so eminent a representative of the divine science as Professor Simon Newcomb can find time to engage in a discussion on ghosts. The Iraks of Buckingham, aged sixty-one, will shortly marry the eldest daughter cf 8ir Graham Montgomery, who is aged twenty-eight The wedding will be quite a social event. Mark Twain is forty-nine years old. He is a Mi&sourian by birth and has been a practical printer, a steamboat pilot, an editor, a private secretary, a miner, a reporter, a lecturer and a book writer. Ben BcTLxa came out of his cave of gloom the other day long enough to begin suit for libel egainst a Boston paper, and then, wrapping the clcak of silence about him, withdrew within himself and palled himself in after himself.
