But the common belief on this subject is not Sastained by statistics, ing, betadt de Valpidiy Soy’ atby-cillans os is generally Gapposed. “When the first European settlements were made in what is now the United States, the number of Indians in the country, ae 4 éording to the best ‘alithorities, was about half # ‘million. This ‘estimate : above or below the trae numer, ag fhefe ids ‘mever. lias been avy means of arriving at accaracy in regard to the Indian population. According to the late report of Indian Commie sioner Parker, the presént Indian population is estimated at ‘over 300,000. The Alaska Indians ate not included in either ‘estimate. Parker, himeclf an Indian; shares in the general opidion ot the race disappearing, and would not be likely to over estimate their present number. It would thus appear that af ter two hundred and fifty years contact with the whites, three-fifths of the original number stili retain «their tribal character. Even at this rate, a good many of the race would be alive and sean Ook ta thousand years from the time they began‘to adopt the vices of civilized life. In addition to this, when we take into account the large number of aborigines who have abandoned their tribal life, and become amalgamated with the whites, it may: well be questionied whether they have . not very nearly held their own in the struggle for life. They had undoubt. édly bedn a stationery race, for a long period atiterior to the “European séttlement of the continent, their numbers the different tribes. > Siti whole tribes were exterminated, for they another than they bave towards the unfortunate whites that have been in ~their power. We can only conjecture what their condition would have been now, had the continent never been discovered by Europeans, but it would not be difficalt to show that contact with civilization has been no disadvantage to them. — ee : ‘ A RurorT from the State Department to the House of Representatives gives statistics of arrivals of passengers from foreign parts, including immigrants. ‘We deduce from it the following items: More than half @ million of . passengers arrived at our ports in the " Yeats 1868 and 1869; the number in the latter having been twice that in the former yeat.

Some idea of the value of this separator may be formed by the result of its three months work at the Wis consin. The tailings put through it at that mill were first wurked over in the mill by some of the old style separa‘tors, and after being so worked were sett down tothe Rawlins & Stevens’ machine. ‘The process in the mill saved thirty tons of sulphurete, and then the +uew machine took hold of the tailings ao worked and got from them twentyone tons of sulphirets. i en omens party of pros. . pectors have just returned from a pros. pecting toar after gold from Lower Calafornia. .

RELIGION AND THE CeNsUs.— While the ninth ceneuyig to bevery full in all matters relating to the material interéate and business of the people, bat little is demanded under the head of religion. The inquiries are confined to the number ef church organizations, number of church edifices, the denominations, the total number of persons which the churches of each denomination will accommodate, and the value of charch property. At the time the cenaus. bill was before Congress it was suggested that each person be required to state what his belief was, or rather what religion he ‘professed, but the suggestion was rejected on the ‘ground of its prying into the haman conscienée.
