A FinmE In a tenemnent house In New York on Tuesday roasted nine 'women and children and seriously lnjured several more. HKAnN-Evism cost California thirty three million dollars in reduction of bank capital, besides untold millions in general shrinkage and stoppage of all business ventures. And Kearney has come back to the drayage business after all. Tim. population of the Uited States is fixed at about 50,250,0. There are thirty-eight States, of which nineteen have over a million and nineteen un der a million inhabitants. South Caro Hlna, with nine hundred and ninety five thousand, heads tihe list of tie latter division, and stands twentieth inl population. If the ratio for Conl gress be fixed at a hundred and sixty five thousand, this Stato will guilt a Congressman. Tim: health statistics of New York City show that (luring the past year there were 31,866 deaths and 27,536 births, showing a decrease which must be balanced by immigration. Nearly four thousand deaths occurred during the hot month of July, as might be expected, for one-fourth of the whole number of deaths was of children under one year old, and two fifths of children under five. This is convincing proof that the crowded tenement houses are vast slaughter houses and that some reform is urgent ly needed to prevent a decrease of population in our great metropolis. The Irish Crisis. Matters are getting no better fast in the Emerald Isle. The Land League is gathering strength day by day and now numbers huiidreds of thousands of (etermined men. Meet ings of fron ten to thirty thousand people are of weekly occurrence. A strange feature in this agitation is the sober and quiet deieanor ' the leaguers. In a nation ofl peple who have hieretotore beena so excitable and prone to tight onl all occasitio. these ifmnster gatherings at w hilh no druiken ness is seen and no noise. even of cheering. is leati. are convl'incing proot both of the depth ofI feelin ie'rvding the masses atid the aiacity of tle leaders.

No one can prp e exactly whtat will be the up shot ot tiis matter; but it is safe to say thnat the Irish tenants will in the end secur'e some measure of relief as they have always done by similar re sistance to oppression. Already this movement has had the effect of laying a number of facts which are a disgrace to Enmgland, and show how justitiable is the pr'esent course of tihe tenants. Ir'eland con tains about twenty million acres of land, of which about sixteen million are productive. With a population of over five million, this land is owned by sixty-eight thousand people, of whom at least half own only a quartetr of an acre apiece. About seven hun dred landlords possess absolutely half the land in thme island, and about sixty per cent. of the w~hole populatiomi, or at least three million, are mere tenants at will and can be evicted at any time. Most of these landlords are despotic and tyrannical to the last degree. An instanice on Judicial irecor'd is giveni ot a boy w~ho died from want becauise his grandfather was not permitted by his landlord to take him inito his hlome. The late Lord Leitrium ordered a new cottage to be leveled to the ground be cause Its owner did not ask his permnis sion to erect it. A number of vears ago aii Englishman niamed Powell bought thirty thousand acres of land. thickly settled with small tfarmers, anid at once he evicted the last one of theni tore down several hundred hotuses and turned the whole place into a gr'azing place for cattle. O~trie landlomrds since thena have followed his example in converting farms into pastutre land, and every change has beeni accomnpa niedl with wholesale evictions of ten, ants who had lived tupon thme lande for generations. Thme faims have famnily for every three or fonr acres o1 land, whiereas one man can tend cattk feeding on two hundred acres. Thou sanads are thus torced inito the roa~d oi are comnpelled to seek other farms al ready over-crowdled. it is a c'omumon thing for landlords to raise rent wvhenever a place~ has beeni improved by tihe tenant.

Mother Shlpton's Prophecy to ba Fulilled This Year. It would be difficult to describe all the sinister predictions that have, as by common consent, beenl concen trated upon1 the present year. The sooth-saVers, diviners, oracle-make. s, astrologers and wizards, seenmed to have combined to cast their spell upon it. Superstitions people of every sort, and solite who are not willing to admit that they are superstitions, regard the year 1881 with more or less anxious expectation and dread. As the Carti, on New Year's day, swingis oit into another round about the sun, it will go to Ineet ii host of evil o01iells. It will go cursed h% theonianev and bib liolmianc.

B3e. cause, as the1 say, the ravages of the black death in the middle ages follow. ed the nearly coincident perihelia of four great. planets, they predict siMni hlr consequences froni the configura. tionz of the planets now. But neither in their premises nor their inferences does science recognize any validity. In truth, however, the astrolo'gers, not less than the astronomers and all star gazers, will have phenomena in the heavens to occupy their attention for the next twelve mouths. The sky will not. present such brilliant pageants aga c this Century. There will be a remarkable series of conjunctions. The most interesting of these is the great twenty-year conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn In April. This conjunction is one of tile strongholds of astrolo gers. As it occurs in the sise Taurus, which they say rules Turkey- and Ire land, they feel safe, oti account of the recent occurrences, in predicting very momentous effects ill those countrie's from the conjunction. There will also be conjunctions of Jupiter and Mars, Venus and Jupiter, Saturn and Venus and the far-away giants Uranus and Neptune will play a part in this re markable planetary levee. Venus will reaci her greatest bright ness iml the spring, and will be so bril liant as to be visible at noonday. Her delicate crescent will be a fav6rite ob ject in the amateur astronomer's teles cope. Saturn will open still wider its wonderful rings, and will be one of tile chief attractions of the evening sky for sreveral ionths. Jupiter will not' lose much of his present brilliancy before lie becomes a morning star in April. Mars will begin to brighten in the lat ter part of the year, and then his snowy poles alid shallow%- Coiltinents will aigain become tile atdmiration of those who gaze througih tile telescopes. In short, there will be no end of attrac tions in the starry heavens, and all the i prognostications of the soothsayers will inot be able to darken the sky of 1861. HOW TO KILL A GRZZLr. A writer in the San Francisco Chronicle tells how a grizzly visited his Camp and was anlerward killed: le came to our camp one night. It was ilooiiight. 1e slept ill a hut built of the fragment fir tree branches. We had.been out all day hunting, and were enjoying the profound sleep of youth, health and weariness. We unigrht have smelled him, but we did not. We might have heard the even measured slap, slap, of his great flat feel, as lie rolled along up the narrow valley between the two ridges covered with lofty pinies that threw their shad ows aeross the silver belt of tile moon litht but we were dee in sleep. and far. far away in most delghtful dreams.

The bacon wveighled about fif tv-four pounds; 'the leeks probably of t he tlitch--notinig more. lie tackled our bread-skillet and swept it clean. lie tore open~i our potato sack and de vour'ed all thle contents, aiid lie didn't leave a bean in the p~ot. There was a bag of sugar. lie got that also. TIhiere was a keg of "redeye'' which lie fauiled to get, or thlis storyv might have a dif fereiit ending. We got up. as usual, at thle ri ig ot thle suin. We had noth ingz but "'redeye" and cofi'ee, without .uger. for breakfast. ie left us his tracks in the ashes of our' camp-tire. I have ottenu tried to make my friends untderstan d how big a grizzly's tracks cani be, but none of them believed me whenh I said eighteen inchdes long and .nmne wide. nor yet wvhen I came down to fitteen and six and a half.
