The I'nited States has not yet formally recognized the new republic, and iu the light of recent developments over there, this is perhaj s judicious, although our recognition might have a very potent influence toward preventing an effort to overthrow the retniblie. g The the New York World anticipates work of thu census bureau by pub- lishing an exhaustive review of tho taxable wealth of the country. The statistics wero obtained from the treasurer of each state, and are based n the actual returns of the respective offices. The total assessed valuation of taxable property is twenty-thre- e billion seven hundred and nineteen million dollars, and tho actual value sixty-on- e and a half billion. The since INfJO is e pml to twenty-fiv- e per cent, and since ls.sti nine per rent. In addition the people of this country own three billion dollars worth of property abroad. Estimating the population at seventy millions, the total value of property, if converted into ensh, would give every man, woman and child in the I'nited Mates nine hundred dollars. The southern people the colonization of who tho advocate American Negroes in Africa, as the best means of solving the race problem, do not moan what they say. This is evident from tho alarm which invariably spreads among the southern planters when an exodus of tho colored people takes place. There is considerable excitement in the vicinity of t'edar-towHa., overall exodus of Negroes to Arkansas. ITantations are said to bo left without a single laborer, and every effort has been made by the whites to stem the current.

Since the organization of the lifesaving service, seven thousand nine hundred lives have been saved, and over sixty million dollars worth of property.

When some one was talking about Irish wit, said he: I knew a couple of Irishmen once who went on a long tour for pleasure. They carried small knapisacks containing changes of clothing, and they looted the whole route they had decided on taking. Wherever night found them or inclination ruled they stopped. They would put up at an inn or tavern, have a carouse and pass the night-Thiwas in the old country, gentlemen, and about the time that gas was introduced.
