The vlew of the growth of London hich was recently presented by Mr. Price Willlams to the statistical society covers ground famillar to many of our readera, Korthe mest forclble appeal to the Imsgination ncthing can exceed the maute eloquenco of the figures of this proliminary report of the censua of 1885, lhere we loarn that at the begluning of the century out of ten inhabitints of ogland and Wales one lived in London, the proportion has risen to one in ssven. The greater London of the reg/ster gener- al's weekly rotnrns contalned in 1881 645,818 inhabited houses, bullt over an area of 67 equare miles. The growth of the population over this densaly peoplod area hay been from 3,222 720 In 1861 47.8 per cent in twenty years, and of 22 6 per cent In the last decads. Intl- mately connected wijh the growth of the population of London, and with the house room provided for thelr ac- commodatlon, is the yet more porten: tous growth of the rental, and of the ratable value of the housee. 1a 1871 the metropolls, then contalning, according to the report of the local goverament board. 417,767 houses, was rated at £19,« 830,051, Iu 1881 the corresponding num- ber of houses waa 486,286, and the rata- ble valus £27,544,44G, showing an ad— vance in the latter of from £47 b to £56 G per house. The increate in the total value was thus 38.9 per cent. Inten years, agalust a growth of 71.23 psr cent. of the pepulation. A comparfson of this kind shows where lies the nucleus of the diffi- culty attending on the question of the bousing of the working classes. Aod not of the working classes alone, for unless & corresponding activity In trade and man- ufacture companies this apparently irre- sletible Increate in one of the main ar- ticles of necessary expendlturo, poverty must be on the Increass. Over the whole of Eogland, sfter deducting the moatropolis, the increaee of ratible valae has been 28 per cont. In the decade, against 15 84 growth in population. 1t fs conceivable that as this fact becomer koown {t may tend to apply some chsck to the enormous growth of this great realm of brick and mortar. Prof. Riley’s} Locust Banquet, Prof. Riley, the entomologist, hss had to stand a good deal of chafling upon his cleada diet, but the agrlculiurists who were in Washington the other day took the palm for guying from tho newapaper men. The vieitors were glven a dinner at the Ebbltt by Commissioner Connan and his staff, There the conspiracy cul minsted. “You may glve me a locust stew in milk, to commence with,” one of the guests sald gravely, in a full, firm volce to the walter at his elbow. The darky looked myatified, but passed to the next and atked, *‘What'll you Lave, bose?" **I'll take deviled locuste,” was the sol~ emn reply. “Scolloped Three.. *‘A little locust flavored with roach,” was the fourth order, and still not a smile, The walter hesitaled, *‘Biss,” he atked, ‘““is all this on the bill}” *‘Certaloly,” was the response. “‘Boar, please call me this in plain Koglish, 8o I can ax the cook.” So the perplexed African was sent back to the kitchen to find out If the Eb- bett larder contained any cicada septen- declm or tredelm. He returned in few minutes announced with elaborate flour- fshes that ‘‘de cleadas had been out two woeke, eab.” By this time the whole body of agrl- culturls was thoroughly alive to the sltuation, Prof, Riley could hold in no longer. ““Thls thing has gone far enough,” he slmost ehoated, “‘Gentle- mev, I'll set up the wine and you'll take something to eat besldes locsuat,” locusts,” sald Namber POOL PRIVILEGE FOR SALE.
