Whereas in Kansas, for inr stance, the mortgago debt per capita iB $170, in Tonnesseo it is only $23, and, if one turns to totals, tho figures are even more striking. In Kansas, on a valuation of $848,000,000, thero is an aggregate debt of $243,000,000; in Tennessee on an assessed valuation oi $382,000,000, the aggregate mortgago llplif, in rtnltr oVtntif ArtA AAA " J W?V)UUU,UUU, There was an incident of tho nay*] review in Now York Harbor, relates Atlanta Journal, which is attractconsiderable attention. In all tho diaplay and pageantry thero was but one tributo to tho memory of George Washington and that caino from au English vessel. If a person ignorant of bhe history of our country had witnessed tho splondid review he would not have discovered that any such person as George Washington ever lived, but for tho fact that Sir John Hopkins, tho British "Vice-Admiral, flashed on tho deck of his ship a fiery figure of "Tho Father of His Country." This ras a generous and graceful act. <WL< ^.Tho late Doctor Agnow, of Philndelphia, said that catarrhal affections wore almost unknown among the Quakeresses whom he attended, and he ascribed it to tho fact that the Quaker finTinAf nrnfAnto lionl/ nf flirt li.io.l ?W V* ""u "VW" and tho nape of the neck from cold atr. He might have gono further and added that the Quakor women have come nearer than any othors of their box to discovering tho perpetual bloom of youth.

Tho peace and health of thoir spirits seem to conform face and figure. ,|VJ<0tyoung physicians, which comes to > ' maturity about this timo of year, has fcarousod tho curious statistician to da 1 * some figuring on thoir prospects. Ho says, notes the New Orleans Picayune, that thero nro educated in this country about twico us many clergymen as lawyers, and about twico us many physicians as clergymen, which makes about four physicians to every lawyer. The United States has more physicians to tho population than any other country. In 1880 thero was a physician to every 600 inhabitants, whereas in England there was ono physician to every 1000, in Franco ono to ovcry 2600 and in Germany ono to 2800. In BkL certain parts of tho United States tho i- doctors wero even moro plentiful than jJPfs the ratio for tho whole country indi5? there was one doctor to 548 persons, Mey and in smaller places in the State ono to 260. In 1887-8 tho entire number of medical students in thiscountry was ^18,513 (including dental, pharmacouti' jksal and votorinary), and tho total is mygsnpposed to be about 20,000. On tlnwasis of this rapid increaso, it is vjMb to say that the oircle of the averjTgo physician's patients is closing in on - ^ him every year, and if he is improving their health steadily, the outlook for him is anything but oheerful. It is said that the Austrian authorities are very much concerned about the constant heavy immigration from ?? their territories, and are doing all they - can to chock it by publishing harrow, ing accounts of the miseries undergone by their emigrants in foreign countries. They have lately published a statement to the effect that Austrian emi r ..grants in Brazil have appealod to their ^'consul at Rio de Janeiro to roquent the Brazilian Government to give thom work or assistance. As the resalt of this intervention, np to the first harvest, thej were provided with _ fifteen days' work per month, at nominal daily wages of two florins eighty-fonr krentzors, or abont $1.18. This, however, explains tlio Now || - Orleans Picayune, was not paid in k ready money, but in paper, which K Shopkeepers would only accept at such a heavy disoount that the unfortunate jkp necessaries of life. Tiie present Brazilian Government, moreover, have not kept the promise made by \ their predecessors to assign land to settlers dtfd advance money fu| its cultivation. Consequently, tho Immigrants have boen reduood to destitution through tho inoreaso in the prioe of provisions, the bod harvest, the cessation of work on tho roads and the stoppage of cultivation.

The Now York Financial Chronicle takes twclvo Fall River cotton mills and uhows that their average dividends for the past seven years have ranged from 0 to 10 por cent. Our Southern cotton mills, as the Bal timorc Manufacturers' Record showed a short time ago, pry dividends ranging from 10 to 25 per cent. The advantages in cotton manufacturing are all on our side. Wo have tho raw material on tlu spot, and we have exceptionally cheap labor. In 1801 the average yearly wages paid t) each cotton operative iu inronmn was ipJTO, as compared with au overage of $305 iu New England, and an average of $:i;J2 in the Middle States. This great dilTerence is all in our favor, and makes it all the harder for the North to compete with us. N >w, why sh >u'd England and the North, situ Red at a great dUtauco from the cotto i fields, manufacture most of thu raw material and market ill We can establish nulls in sight of our nclus that wi I be more profitiblu than their distant competitors. The Southern States have good distributing facilities, and the completion of the Nicaragua rami will in ike it eaay to reach the in r'set-: of both coasts of Smtli Ainer ion, and also China uud Japiu. This, then is the situation. The Soutb has practically a monopoly iu cotton; lici mills pay the biggest profits; her labor is the clicnpi&t, and she has the hist chances of reaching the cousnmers of tho world.. These advantages iu the course of time must inevitably make this section the centre of the manufacture and distri bution of cotton goods.

Hun.] I Hero is an interesting letter from 0110 i ^ of a half dozen of valunble immigrants: "I saw, some time ago, an article in The Bun, which said that young men ^ ought to go South, and seemed to praise ' the Southern States. Now, wc are flnCj i hale and hearty young men, some--Rug- ^ lish, some Irish; we are all strong and . vigorous, and none over 27. We are all g graduates?one of Oxford, three of Cambridge, one of Trinity College, Dublin, ^ and one of the London University. I am r j tho sixth man. Our united income ^ amounts to $12 per week. "We have completely de-fine gentle- .. inan-ized ourselves, and consider no wo k \f undignified or beneath us. j "We have talked matters over a good dcnl, nud wc have almost decided to seek a newer country than New York, and to ^ sec about "making our piles" at once. w "Is it too much to ask you to give us through your paper a few words of advice ^ as to where wo can get full information , . . ?o of tlio kind of mo i wanted, the positions ^ and modes of living open, &c , South, m, or coul j you (if you thing it it would iu- , tcrcst iho public) tell U3 briefly what we ' wan' to know, in your colums?" wc ftft id rain iu way is dui jtoimj mm? mr ^ our six friends.
