The English(speaking races, tho Germans and the ?g Bf French, seem inclined to regard counterfeiting as not worth the trouble at the E - n*isk at which such a pursuit is engaged 'in. But the lower class of Italians, for some mysterious reason, regard counter|f?iting as an easy way of earning a liv; ^ "What mamma of a new baby," asks Ihe Courier-Journal, "will thank Dr. ( rtobinson for his pictures showing the ***^ 1 ?*"^y nf O KoKjj'o fo/af nnrl .?$ ?? ipe?

The present population of Injdia is 289,000,000, and the tncreaso durling the past decade has been about 30,(000,000, nearly half the entire population of thoUnited States. Qratifying as jthis increase is to the British Government, it is also viewed with alarm by 'many of her statesmen, for somo believe that India is already so thickly populate ! ithat it can sustain no more inhabitants. , United States Commissioner of Agriteulturc Rusk, says: "Fanning is fast .'becoming a science in tho United States. iThe fafmers are studying more and they 1. ? * Know more to-day tntin over before.

Yankee woodeu nutmegs are a combon joke, but fow people kaow, thinks *: the Boston Transcript, that in Marseilles, . (France, nutmegs are actually manufac' jtured for the foreigu trade. When kept iigPv |very long, nutmegs become wormy and (so lose their commercial value, but the (thrifty Frenchmen do not feel ablo to (throw away a case of nutmegs ouly be jcauso the spice happens to be full of (worms, so they put the nutmegs in a [mill, sometliuoi like a coffee mill, and (grind them np, and with clay, bran, a preparation of glue and a set of suitable (moulds, pioduce a very -fair article of (nutmeg. They can scarcely be detected (by the eye or hand, being very hard and about the weight of the genuine article; but a soaking in warm water will make them drop to pieces, while tho genuine article successfully bears any test of this kind. _ j A terrible tale was told by the miser^ ;able survivors of a band of emigrants, "' who left Yorkshire, England, for the iBrteils about a year ago, and reached home in a destitute condition a few davs ,ago. They started out 140 in nutntor, !iu answer to an advertisement promU. log, on behalf of the. Brazilian Governi , ment, land, free homes, food for six months, seed foi tdfa props, all the necessary tools, otc., and were landed in due time at San Paulo. Their hardships began at once. Tho food provided was inedible, and no accommodation had been prepared, 200 men, women and children being compelled to live together in one groat room. Theu they were sent to Santos, whero they were kept for ton days exposed to all sorts of (hardships and privations. After this -they were put on board a small steamer .for Paranauua. and remained for lour jdaji on an ope a deck in drenching rain storiKB, with only a few crusts to eat. I When they woie landed at last, their only shelter was some miserable shanties In the swamp, and before long fersr broke out among them, reducing their ,nnmbers at a fearful rate. ; To procure assistance In the bursal ot the dead they, .'were compelled to part with the last remnants of property that remained t> y- - them. Finally the surrirors made their way back to Rio, where thoy were deluded by fresh promises, and subjeoted ,to gross brutalities by the soldiers and polio*. All the living members ol this " V disastrous expedition tell similar stories, and there appee-i to be no doubt that they have passed through an experience almost without parallel in the history of % immigration frauds. * Wiinuu JJil JLAJ1.1 c A Condensation of the Principa Happenings.

On one occasion be killed a snipe which had on the chest a large dressing composed of down taken from other partsof the body, and securely tixed In the wound by the coagulated blood.

Texas is a powerful competitor for the banner. What, is the situation? Destitution in both town and country. ' In both States within the past ten days "relief committees" have been organized. Right in Atlanta, where money 1 is supposed to be plenty, where "prosperity" is sung by every editor, there is great destitution. What does this all mean? Simply that the few arc drain ing the many. This is the beginning ; what shall the end lie? Unless the conditions arc quickly changed, revolution will follow. There is no alternative But still we hope that there is a way out. The Texas call for relief says 15.000 \\ "20,000 arc starving, while the reminder of the population barely have a ifficiency of food for present needs. Great prosperity" indeed.?Progie sivo artner.
