The Official returns of the new census of Il

about 50 per cent: upon the' census of 1850.
By comparing the increase through the several
decades and semi-decades since' the censusliks
been taken.; it will be seen that the gain has
been much larger during . the last five. years
than in any former period :

The railroad system has been developed in
Illinois within the last five years, and one of
the fruits, we sec, has been double the popula
tion. A correspondent showed, the other day,
that another was to quintuple the value of her
lafid. Add to 'these the improved society, the
multiplied educational and moral influences,
such as the newspapers, cheap books, &c.,
which follow population,•and take advantage
of all cheap methods orCiiinm - unication, and
then one may begin to appreciate the advan
tages of the modern railway system as an en
gine of civilization.—N. Y. Pus!.

WEALTH OF ATLANTIC CITIES. —The wealth
concentrated at the great commercial points
of the United States is truly astonishing. For
instance, one-eighth part of, the entire proper
ty of this country is owned by the citizens of
New York and Boston. Boston alone in its
corporate limits owns one-twentieth of the
property of this entire Union, being an amount
equal to the wealth of any three of the Nev
England States, except Massachusetts'. In
this city is found the richest community, per
capita, of any in the United States. The next
I city in point of wealth, according to its popu
latiolb-is Providence: R. 1., which city-is-one
14, 0 ;-ine ri t chest in the Union, having a valuation
Of fifty-six millions, with a population of fifty
thousand. The bare increase per annum of
• the wealth' of Boston is equal to the. entire val- '
nation of many of the minor cities, such as
.Portland. Salem, New Bedford, Buffalo, Chica
go, Louisville, &c.—Bualon Tray.
DIMENSIONS OF HsAvsx—Room FOR US ALL.
—Some ,fellow who is go9d a t figures has
cyphered out "a room sixteen feet wide" for
every body that goes to Heaven. Here is the
way he does it :
1- "And he measured the -city with the reed,
twelve thousand. furlongs. The _ length and
the breadth, and 'the height of it are equal.
—Rev. 21 : 17."
Twelve thousand furlongs. 7.920,000 feet,
which being cubed, 496,763 - ,088,096.000,000,-
000 cubic feet. Half of this we will reserve
for the Throne of God and the Court of Hea
ven, and half the balance for streets, leaving a
remainder of - 124,198,272,900.000,000,000
cubic feet. Divide this by 4.096, the cubical
feet in a room, 16 feet square, anrthere will
be 30,321,843,750,000,000 rooms. We will
suppose the world-always did and always will
contain 900,000,000 inhabitants, and that a
generation lasts for 384 years, making in all
1,700,000,000 every century, and that the
World will stand 400.000 years, making in all
270,000,000,000,000 inhabitants. • Then sup
pose there were one hundred- worlds equal to
this, in number of inhabitants and duration of
years, making a total of 27,000.000.000,000,-
000 persons. Then there would be a room
16 feet wide for each person, and yet there
would be room.

riOLLOIVAT'S OINTMENT .01Nn Piu.s. an unfailing
Remedy for Scrofulous Sores —The eldest sun of Anthony
Barnet, aged 14, of Galveston. was an awful sufferer, with
scrofulous sores on his limbs.. The parents took him to sev
eral doctors, and did all ih their power to allevi.ge him, but
he only became worse. A sister of Mr. 13.1 met, who had
been cured of a bad leg by Holloway's Ointment and Pills,
took the child under her protection. stating she would try
what effect a few weeks residence with her would do, no
sooner 11.54 she got him at her own house. than she tried
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, they soon canned an im
proved appearance in the child, and atter using them 101011 t
