One hundred years ago there were a few less than 300 and at the beginning of the present century there were between 600 and 700. Now there are nearly 7,000.

MARRIAGE.

A good deal of judgment was displayed in selecting the amusing sketch which obtained so much popularity on its original production at the Strand Theatre, London, some eight or nine years ago, as besides possessing sufficient interest to attract the attention of an audience, “Weak Wo- man" is in every respect well within the grasp of an intelligent company of amateurs, and presents no scenic or other difficulties worth enumerating. The plot of the comedy is of the slightest pos sible description, in fact, the plece may be fairly enough described as a few scenes strung together almost without any dramatic connecting link, its strength lying entirely in the comic vagaries of the principal characters. Lilian and Helen Gaythome are two cousins who have been left in the somewhat awkward position of nominal do- heiresses of Gaythorne Hall by the will of an eccentric uncle, the said will providing that until both were married the secret as to which was the actual heiress was to be sacredly kept. Dr. Fleming, a London physician, who shares the secret with the cousins is their guardian, and the other prominent characters are Mrs. Guns, an the Gaythornes, two fortune hunters, Captain Ginger of "The Bungleshire Buffs" and Mr. Septimus Toutal, a provincial swell, Arthur Medwyn,~# "young farmer, who is the fa- vored admirer of Lilian, and Frederick Fan- through some mistake of the cruel uncle alluded shawe, a cousin of the supposed heiresses, who

This is the more remarkable when the state of things in France is considered. With no emigration worth mentioning, the increase of population from 1875 to 1880 was only 389,000. The birth- rate in Germany was 3.91 per 100, whereas in France it was only 2.47.
