Let up first hear tho statistical mourner, o points ta n focling of disappointment in tho Uniled $tates at tho slackened paco of inereaso in pmumbers. Thirty-eight and one-halt millions of inhabitants did not satialy the Amoeiicans. Tnstead of eleven millivos oxpected, according to Llkanah Watson's prophecies, which up to 180 wero 8o successtul. the increnss of popula- tion wag ouly seven millions botwaen 1860 and [3i0. Thero must have beon A cliock tomawhere, Dr, Block rightly concludes, Tliero must bavo beon drawbacks both of noga- tive and positive naturo to account for this do- ficit of four millions. The groat civil war and Its sacrifices of human lives might oxplain for s part of theso four millions, but oven in regard to that part, experienco taaclies that after great wars, pestilonces, ete.,, tho gaps in population 1o goucrally soon fitled up again by an jucroase in THE NUMDER OF BIRTIS. This incrondo has certainly not only been want- ing in the United Statos, but thero must buvo Leen in a large number of families ovon a lesser number of births titn in the decade from 1830-'60, in which population continued the old rato of increase (realized from 1820), i e, oloven miltions evory ten yoars. Tho aver- eion to tho pains and troublos of mator- nity has grown cnormously, especially among the mnative Americann. In 1854 tho number of children of foreign-born parenta in Boston was alroady twico as largo as of those of uative-born parents, In 1867 the ratio, mec- cording to Dr. Atlen, bad increased to 5.1, Ac- cording to tho twentioth registration report of Rhode Inland, thero hava been 6,143 birthes dur- iog 1872, of which 2,620 were in Amorican fami- ‘w03, 2,806 1n foreign-born, and 717 in familics of Wich one paront was born abroad. The papue Iatiy of Rliodo Islaud in 1670 counted 217,353, of Wiom 161,957 were natives, snd 45,394 fur- eigoch, Counting the 717 ohildren above-men- d Aqong thefotelzn-born, wo Lave two ti children e gyory hundred Americins, and six chilifren for gvery hundrod jmmigrants.
