census bulletin tells us that there
are 140 religious bodies in the United
States, not counting the large number of !
independent churches which do not acknowledge
the authority of any denominational
organization. The increase in <
sect, declares' the Cincinnati Enquirer,
has been something remarkable since the ,
dawn of our national history. 1
"When Home tell," soliloquizes the
New Tork World, "its wealth was in the
hands of about two percent, of its population
; when the Greek Republic was
destroyed by the barbarians the owners
of its wealth were hardly one per cent, of
the number of citizens. What of the !
North American Republic, where about \
five per cent, are ratW^uaircs and the <
rest proletarians, living from hand to 1

An interesting paper on the depopulation
of France has been read at the
^ 'Academy of Medicine by Frofeaaor Lo
Fort. He argued that the fears expressed
f)n this subject had been much exaggerated.
The statistics of births in France
javere lower than those of any European
.country: but, on the other baud, the
equilibrium was to some extent re-established
by the satisfactory state of the
:death statistics.
It seems necessary, exclaims the Chicago
News, to again call attention to the
fact that the much-used word "cloture,"
which Congressmen so delight in utter,nS
"ith infinite variety of accents, i

,{ ?/' tmoeoeasary importation from the French
and is almost synonymous with the English
"closure." The demand for the
previous question and the stifling or
"closure" of further dehate is all that is
meATit hv the mysterious Gallic term.
J Ex-Comptroller-Green, of New York

The origin of the National Marine
Hand at Washington is mna* carious.
(Nearly a hundred years ago, alleges the
iNew York HorM, a Yankee Captain kidjnapped
a strolling troop of musicians on

The trusts in manufactured gas may
dispel their fear of natural gas as a competitor,
exclaims the Chicago Uerald.
No one any longer believes that gs? wells
are inexhaust?u?,- and they are already
failing in regions wh?re the flow has
been most abundant. Even Pittsburg,
whoso awful smoke has been abolished
and whose coal hills have been reduced
to comparatively nothing by the use of
natural gas, is compelled to admit that
she must soon lose her inestimable advantages.
The supply has fallen off enormously.
No attempt, is now made by
the companiea to furnish gas to the entire
city, and 500 furnaces were cut off some
time ago in order to enable them to continue
the supply to other consumers in
greater need of it. One company alone
is sinking twenty-three new wells, but \
usually when the flow begins to fall the
inking of uew wells but hastens its decline,
and relief from this source is
doubtful. The indications are that Pittsburg
will be compelled to give up the
Vvonderful economies and conveniences
which natural gas has conferred upon
her. As the wells which 6upply that
nre the largest in the country tin
ct is uot encouraging for othei
i gas coiumuuities.
