_ .The Anglo-Saxon Race?Its Progre33.
By a favoring coincidence, the general total
of the American eemys taken last year,
haa just been received, and wc arc enabled,
in conjunction with tho returns made on tho
31st of March fbr England, to measure the
absolute progress of the Anglo-Saxon race in
i ita two gfaind divisions, anil to compare the
laws'of their respective growths in relation
to each, other and the rest of the world. It
is estimated, including Ireland and thecolo'
niesr that there is a grand total of men sharing
tho same general tendencies of civilization
of 50,000,000, from which is to l>e deifucted
the three millions of slaves m the United
States, leaving a remainder of fifty-three
millions, chief!}' of Anglo-Saxon descent, and
deeply impregnated with its sturdy qualities
of heart and brain, a? the representatives of
*i. _- &?- - -A *
uivHunincins stock.
Two centuries r.}&> tlierc wns not quite'
throe million? of this race 011 the face of the j
earth. There are a million more persons of1
Magyar descent, speaking the Magyar lan-'
guage, at the present moment in Europe,
than were in Europe and America of tins
conquering and colonizing people in the time
of Cromwell. How vain, then, for men to
talk of the political necessity of absorbing
small races ! , Sixty years ago the AngloSaXon
race did not exceed 17,000,000111
Europe and America. At that timo it was
not numerically stronger than the poles.
Thirty years ago it counted only 34,000,000,
and a fraction more than the population of
Central France. In 1851 it is ah earl of every
civilizod race in the world. Of races ly?
ing within the zones of civilization, the Sclaves
alone arc more numerous counted bvheads;
.but comparatively few of this plastio nnd
submissive stock has yet escaped from the
barbarism' of the dark ages. In wealth, energy,
and civilization, they are not to be compared
with the Frank, the Teuton, and the
Anglo-Saxon. N umber is their only clement
,y of strength. ,
Of all. the races which are now striving for
the mastery of the world, to impress on the
future of society and civilization the stamp
of its otori character and genius, and to make
it* law, idiom, religion, manners, government
and opinion prevail, the Anglo-Saxon is now
unquestionably the most numerous, powerful
and active. The day they might possibly^
more been crushed, absorbed, or trampled
OUt, like Hungary or Poland, by stronger
hordes is gone forever. That it wns possible
iit one time for this people to be subdued by
violence, or fall a prey to the slower agencies
of decline, there Ain be little doubt In 1830,
the United Provinces seemed more likely
to make a grand figure in the world's history
than England. Their wealth, activity,
and maritime wrncr ?oro ilm mnct imnminx
... jr- , ?
it) Europe. They had all tlio carrying trade
to the West in their hands. Their language
was spoken in every port. In the great Orient
their empire was fixed and their influence
paramount. England was then hardly
? known abroad. Her difficult idiom grated
oft foreign cars, and her stormy coasts, ro
jwd'Xl ?nc curiosity of morecultiv*,' 2?1 travelHad
the. thought of the day arriving when
Itay single European language woukl be |
spoken by miliious of persons scattered over
the great continents of the earth, from Cape
of Storms to the Arctic Ocean, occurred to
any speculative mind, Dutch or English
would Mobably have been the tonguo to
which ne would nave assigned the marvellous
mission. Yet, Holland has fallen nearly
de much as the Saxon has risen in the
scale of nations. . Her idiom is now acquirer?
Vy few. Her merchants conduct their
correspondence and transact their business
in French or English. Even her writers have
many of them olothed their genius in a forcigh
oirb. Ob the other hand, our literature
ami' language have passed entirely out of
this danger, Dutch, like the Welsh, Flemish,
Erse, Basque, and other idioms, is doomed
to perish as an intellectual medium; but
whatever may be the future changes of the
world, the tongue of Shakespeare and of
ttaoon is now too firmly rooted ever to be
tons away.
lio longer content with mere preservation,
it aims at universal mastery. Gradually It is
m taking possession of all the ports and coasts
of the workl; isolating nil rival idioms, shutting
them up from intercourse with each otfc

The relative growth of the two great t\ngflo-Saxon
States is note worthy. In 1801
the population of Great Britain was 10,042,046.
in 1800 that of the United States
was 5,810,802, or not quite half. In 1860
the population of the United States was two
millions and a third more than thpt of Great
Britain in 1851 ; at this moment it proba-.
bly exceeds it by three millions. Tho rate
of decennial increase in this country is less I
lhau 13 percent, whilein America it is about |
35 per cent.
Hindoo Widows
There nro very many widows fti Iitdias.?
They form comparatively a large class of the
populution. Nearly every man marries, and
some of them havo many wives. Every bride
is a child, whilst the husband may be an old
.man. Again, a woman once.a widow can nev er,
according to the custom of Iliudoos, marry
again. Even'it she l>e left a widow, as
many arc, when not more than five or six
years old, she can never marry. And perhaps
there is scarcely any human being more to be
pitied than a poor Indian widow. While !
yet a child, or a merry girl, the umn to whom
she is married, and who j>crhnpa is quite a
stranger to her, though called her husband,
dies; immediately she is stripped of herjowcls
and her tahli, or marriage .ornament; her
dress is exchanged for a widow's robe, her
j chief ornament, is shaved off; she begins a life
' of shame and sorrow; her own family now
j dislike and nvoid her; they believe thnt the
gods have thought her unworthy of the dignity
of being a wife, lier husband's death
is laid to her charge. It is the punishment
of sins which she is supposed to have committed
when her spirit was in adifferent Ixnly
in a former state of existence; for you know
they believe in what is called the transmigration
of souls. If auy calamity liefals the
family it is Iter evil genius that hiinga it.
"The house is cursed for her sake." She must
labor and sutler, do all the hard work, and
gel nothing in return but Reorn and abuse. 1
All who ought to love and pity her become '
her enemies. 8hc is cast out ami despised ; !
she becomes wicked and miserable, and too 1

way. Her religion tenches her that the la-st
ami most worthy path open to her is to destroy
herself; that she ought to hum with
the.dead body of her husband. It is certain
that in the year 1818 alone, in ouo part of
India, no less than 800 widows were burnt
on the funeral pile of their dead husbands ; 1
but in the whole country there was at least '
three thousand destroyed at that time. What
a dreadful effect of heathenism in one laud! 1
Through the blessed influence of the (iospcl j
this crime is no longer allowed ; yet still the
marriage of the poor Hindoo widow is con- 1
trary to law, ami she grows up to a life of
shame and sorrow; for there in hardly to '
be found a single Hindoo of caste who would
dare to marry a young person who li.-u* lost
lier husband, however noble her birth, or

"Mickey,you have been a very wricked

a detail of Mr. Mnioiiey's exploits?^"bu very
wicked that it ia almost a sin to grant you
absolution.' Have you never done a single

was it done, my son f *
"Listen and I will tell yon. Well, you see,
I and Larry Make went a fishing once in the
Mississippi, opposite New Orleans, and while
we were sated in the bont a Jew makes his
appearance in *\ skirt' forninst us. We invited
him to cast anchor and lie did so. He
then got out bait and line and threw out for
it bite, and by jalters be g?.t one. A catfish
seized his line, and with such force as to jerk
thie hntlien overboard. To save bis life I
plunged in after, and for a while it was pull
cat-fish and Maloney. At last I got np to
the oiild sinner and sased him by the hair,
just as he was going dow n for the third time."
'And what then did you do V
"I asked him, says 1 do you believe in the
Virgin, and lie said, 'Moses forbid, 1 do not.'
At that I poked hint under the water again
for the matter a minute or two, when l riz
liiiu up again and asked him, says 1 do you
believe in the Virgin, and he said, again.
'Moses forbid, 1 dosh not,' and I (lipped him
under once more, and kept him there till he
was as blue about the gills as an oyster, when
I gave him another hist and asked him "do
you believe in tlio Virgin ?" and he said
'Moses is wrong?T does.' "
"And what did you say then ?"
"I replied, die penitent, you ould tliafc,
and save you soul while the luck is on you ;
and suiting the action to the word, 1 just let
go in)' honld to spit on ray hand, and ho
went to the bottom like a stone."
Whether this sort of conversation secured
Mickey absolution we cannot say until we
see Hob Holmes, to whom we are indebted
for Mickey's history.
