We hold that it -will be a fortunate era
in the history of oar country when th?

England. WfaOn^ men of the/Softool of

dor the heading of . 1870, it says :
We de hot b?lier? that the majority of
oar readers will be B?rry to near that by
the census of 1870 tho six New England;
States, whloh in IMO had 88 representa?
tives inCong?ose, wifi havo only OT. The
Chicago Tribuna (we rather like the Tri
?une because of this figuration, and be?
ean se of its manly oottrso on the teat
oath question,) gives the following:
1840..-Maine, 8; New Hampshire, 5;,
Vermont, 5; Massachusetts, 12; Connec?
ticut, 6; Rhode Island, 2 ; total, 88.
1870.-Maino, 4 ; New ; Hampshire, 2;
Vermont, 2; Massachusetts, 9; Rhode
Island, 1; Connecticut, 4; to lal, 22.
The North-weatorn States, which in
1840 bad 82, in 1870 will hare 83, as fol?
lows:
1840.-Ohio;" 19; Indiana, 7; Illinois,
3; Michigan, 1J Missouri, 2; total, 82.
1870.-Ohio, 19; Indiana, ll; Illinois,
16; Missouri, ll; Miohigan, 7; Iowa, 8;
Wisconain, 7; Minnesota, 3; Kansas, 2;
Nebraska; 1; total, 85.
But, says the Tribune, wo must add
the Pool?o States, to estimate the politi?
cal strength of the West, and they will
have 7 members-making in all 92 mem?
bers for the "great Weat." If to New
England's 22 we add New York 29,
Pennsylvania 25, New Jersey 5, Dela?
ware 1, and Maryland 4, in all 64, we
shall have for these Eastern and Middle
States in 1870 86 representatives-leav?
ing a majority of 7 votes for the West?
ern States in a contest between the East
and the West. We beg leave to subtract
Maryland and class it with the Southern
States. And now, from the foregoing, it
is plain that power has passed from the
East, and that the Weist and the South
can govern this country. Washington
will not be the capital of the United
States ten years-perhaps not five. The
Tribune has some thoughtful remarks on
this point. It says:
"It is this fact which the shrewder
Eastern politicians and journalists have
taken into, consideration ia estimating
the probable success' of the agitation for
the removal ht the capitol. The West
might attain to twice the superiority, in
both population and wealth, which it
now has, and its relative influence in the
national connqils would not bo felt so
long as the capital remained ou the At?
lantic seaboard. The desiro that the capi?
tal should bu bro tight to th? centro of
population, anti shall be zo placed as to
naturalize its spirit, tone and legislation,
is as natural ns that tho owner of a mag?
nificent private estate should wish his
own residonco to be in tho moat tasteful
and conspicuous site on his domain, in?
stead of m the coiner where ' he resided
when his acres were few and his aspira?
tions meagre. ' This is so natural, that
any failure oh tho part of the great bulk
of the, population of the country, now
gathered in the valley of the Mississippi
and ita tributaries, to embrace the ad?
vantage, to which their numbera and po?
sition entitle them, would be as anoma?
lous as it would be weak."
We wish to invite oar readers to think
of these things, because we (it ia so with
all Americans) aro too prone to look on
the present moment. In a very few
years American politics will have entirely
changed-new combinations will have
been formed. Now, we at the South aro
at the mercy of New England interests.
Then, New England will have dropped
the sceptre. There will be a new deal
all around, and our section may get a fair
share of the benefits of the national go?
vernment. If we do not like a high ta?
riff, we have only to strike hands with
the West, and the great Democratic
principle of free trade will be the law of
the land. We attach, however, a more
especial value to this-that the soreness
of the South in consequence of tho
events of the past fonr year3 will be mol?
lified by the wresting of power from the
New England politicians, who have been
so merciless in their triumph over us.
With the capital at St. Louis, and new
policies, there is a new future and a new
world. We pray for the census and the
apportionment of 1870.
GBOWTH or POPULATION.-At the
taking of the last censns, iu I860, the
population of the United States was
31,448,821. And it was then estimated
by the Census Bnreau that in 1870 the
country would contain 42,328,432, in
1880 a population of 57,450,241, in 1890
a population of 77,266,989, and in 1900
the vast aggregate of 100,355,802, when
the United States would embraco but
twenty-eight inhabitants to the square
mile; whereas the State of New York
bas already ninety-four, and Massachu?
setts 173. Were the whole country
Eeopled as Massachusetts is, it would
ave within its borders no less than 619,
000,000 souls, constituting a nation in?
comparably transcending the greatest
empire of ancient or modern times.
Elkanah Watson. Benjamin Franklin's
friond, mado out a table of estimated
population for every decade up to the
year 1900, and his estimates have thns
far held good. He predicted that in
1900 our population would be a round
100,000,000. Though our long and dis?
astrous civil war was not taken into his
calculations, it now looks as if the enor?
mous inor?ase of immigration will more
than make up for any losses incurred
from this and other sources.

PnosnsE OP CUBAN INDEPENDENCE BY
THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT.-The Wash?
ington correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce says:
The despatch from Gen. Sickles which
was read in the Cabinet meeting of Fri?
day last stated that Spain requests the
United States not to press the negotia?
tions to an ultimatum at present. Gen.
Sickles was verbally informed that the
Government of the Regent is willing to
concede the independenoe of Cnba upon
terms which will be satisfactory both to
Cuba and the United States, but that to
do this at present would be inconsistent
with Spanish honor. Spain docs not
decline the mediation of tho United
States, or reject the propositions of our
Government, but still holds them, pre?
senting moanwhile tho foregoing request,
and will probably hold them till a settle
men t of the question is roached. Ac?
cording to General Sickles, the present
rulers oi Spain havo been willing all
along to freo Cuba, but have not yet
agreed upon tho terms. Tho Spanish
mind is now excited by newspaper re?
ports of American influence, and by in?
flammatory comments thereon, the effect
of which must be allowed to wear off to
some extent beforo tho time will bo fa?
vorable for making tho bargain. The
impression among the heads of our Go?
vernment is that Cuban independence is
only a question of time, and that time a
very short one. The Cabinet will con?
sider the question again on Friday.

James Gordon Bennett has but a short

nance which it was his pride to maintain
is fading away, and to outward appear?

such a manner as to allow the animal to
escape. ~ Taxu&Jo Jim hotel, awaken the |
elephant driver, iiud HU ru mon all hands,
was the work of a moment. The elephant
was promptly fettered, and a search for
the truant tiger commenced. None but
two of the most resolute of the showmen
would lead in the search, the remainder
following at a respectful distance, and in
the greatest trepidation. The tiger was
not long in making known his where?
abouts; for the bleating of a calf, in pain
and terror, indicated that his royal high?
ness was satiating his gluttonous appetite
on live veal. The leading spirits of the
hunt approached, and, by the sid of their
torches, discovered that the tiger had
stricken down a yearling heifer, and was
crouohed over the dying animal, greedi
ly|lapping thc blood which spurted from
a largo wound in its neck. Mr. Clem.
King, the keeper of the tiger, procured
a rope, and making a noose in the form
of a lariat, ascended by a ladder from
the outside of the shed to a window,
from whence he passed to the rafters im?
mediately over tho tiger. He then gave
a loud shout, which caused ?be tiger to
look npward, giving Mr. King an oppor?
tunity to throw a lariat over the animal's
head, which feat he dextrously accom?
plished. Drawing his rope taut, he made
it fast to a beam, and another rope was
passed to him, with whioh he succeeded
in lassoing the tiger in the same manner
as before. Mr. King then threw the end
of the rope to a party of men near the
entrance to tho shed, and when they had
secured it, he threw the end of the other
ropo to another party, and the two lines
were at once stretched, eaoh party walk?
ing in an opposite direction. When the
tiger would make a rush at ono group of
his captors, tho others would haul taut
on their lino, aud thus prevent him from
doing any mischief. After much exer?
tion, and several ludicrous stampedes
from the by-standers. he wns dragged
back to k's cage, which had, in the mean?
time, been repaired. When he came in
view of tho den, ho bounded in of bis
own accord; but tho attendants, in their
haste to secure him, closed the iron door
too suddenly, and severed about a foot
of his majesty's tail.
GIRLS SHOULD LEARN TO KEEP HOUSE.
-No young lady can be too well instruct?
ed in anything whioh will affect the com?
fort of a family. Whatever position in
society she occupies, she needs a practi?
cal knowledge of household duties. She
may bo placed in such circumstances
that it will not be necessary for har to
perform much domestic labor; but. on
this account she needs no less knowledge
than if she was obliged to preside over
the cooking-stove and pantry. Indeed,
it is more difficult to direct others, and
requires moro experience, than to do the
same work with our own hand.
Mothers are frequently so particular
that they do not like to give up any part
of tho 'care to the children. This is a
great mistake in the management; for
they are often burdened with labor and
need relief. Ohildron should be early
taught to make themselves useful; to os-'
sist their parents ove ry wny in their
power, and to eonsider it a privilege to
do so.

SiKouiiAB DISCOVERY IN THE BAT OF
BENGAL.-Among the vessels lost in the
memorable cyclone that swept over the
Bay of Bengal in 1867 were the steamer
Thandor and the ship Morayshire.
Search was professed to bo made for
these and other mi~sing vessels among
the Soonderbuns, Lut no trace of them
was discovered, and it was taken for
granted that both bad gone down at sea.
Tho other day, a party of fishermen,
driven for shelter into an out-of-the-way
creek, some lour miles inland, stumbled
upon tho hull of n ship, which proved
to be the Morayshire, and further in
found a large steamer, with masts and
funnels still standing, which answered to
tho description of tho Thunder. The
steamer had S1G5.000 on board, which is
doubtless yet in her bullion hold. Pain?
ful speculations are, of course, called up
as to tho fate of her crew and passengers.
What that fate was may never be disco?
vered. It is conjectured that they could
not have lived long, even if they sur?
vived the cyclone, as tho place is mala
rious in the extreme, and infested with
tigers. What is, perhaps, tho strangest
is that these vessels have been lying herc
two- yeats winiin a few miles of the
mouth of the Hoogley.

OCR BOOK TADLE.-Manual of the
German Language, by W. G rattert, A.
M. New York: E. Steiger, 1869, This
book, sent to us by the publishers, we
cordially recommend to every student of
German. We cannot better state the
Kcopo of the book than by giving the fol?
lowing extract from the preface:
"The author of this 'Manual of the
German Language,' has endeavored to
avoid the defects of both the sympathetic
and the purely analytic methods, by an
organic development of tho forms of
words and sentences in German, and ta
offer within a small compass, large, care?
fully selected and practically available
material for study and reflection. Each
chapter contains three parts. The Ger?
man exercises offer a progressive course
of tho most important words and sen?
tences, both ornomatically and grammati?
cally. The analysis following them ie
explanatory of those forms, and the Eng?
lish exercises afford material for applying
them, ?. e., for writing and speaking
German."
Abu's German Hand-writing. Ne^
York: E. Steiger, 1809. This is tho firsl
attempt, as far as we know, of any publi?
cation in this country specially devoted
to the German written character. Th?
pieces aro well selected, and the "script,'
as the printers call tho written characte:
when it gets into type, is clear and legi
ble, i. e., of course with German speo
tades. Persons desirous of acquaintin)
themselves with German manuscript
should send for the pamphlet.
T. B. Peterson & Brothers have jus
I issued, from tho manuscript and ad

Wood, "Roland Yorke;" a sequel to "Th

which are characteristic of this nut h?rest
writings. Mrs. Wood has a marvellou
faculty of charming her readers with th
skill with which she puta her character
on the stage, of multiplying her plots, c
sustaining her dialogues, and of intensi

'S. T. -1800-X.-Early in the bat?
tle I was wounded and carried to this
spot by two clever 'Yanks.' They bade
me farewell, and as they supposed to die,
for I was so weak from loss of blood that
I ooold but faintly thank them.for their
kindness. They left in my canteen a
part bottle of PLANTATION BITTERS, to
which I owe my life, for it strengthened
me, and kept life within me until help
came and my wonnd was dressed. God
bless them for their kindness, and for
the PLANTATION BITTKBO."
