More Repudiation. The Governor of
Arkansas recommends repudiation. The
State owes two millions of dollars, and
has nothing to show for it not a mile of
railroad, nor any great public works
She has wasted half a million of acres of "
land, lavished upon her by the Federal
Government. And now the Governor
hints at repudiation, on aocount of the '
unwillingness of the people to pay the in
terest on the public debts.

it was a clover ley, and was moderately

rows were about four and a half feet dis-

two stalks in a hill.
Thc Kent News states that the late

refer to the data of previous ta-;

1790 has been very equal; being lowest

1820 to 1830, (30.01 per cent;) and the
least from 1830 to 1840, (23.8 per cent.)
The average increase of the free colored,
on the other hand, has regularly dimin
ished nince 1790; being 82, 2 per cent.,
in the fiast decade, 25.25 in the third,
and rising a little in the fourth, it falls in
this last to 10. 9G per cent. A fact worth
considering as respects the probable des-
tiny ot this race
In the most favored country of Europe,
the report states, the decimal increase is
loss t.linn l. no.r cent, nor annum: while
j in tlic United States it is 3i- per cent. In
forty years, with the present rate of in-
! crease on both continents, the population
of the Union will exceed that of England,
i France, Spain, Portugul, Sweden, and
! c r l i i i 1

As respects the rate of increase in thc
different New England States during, the
last ten years, it is greatest iu llhode Isl
and (25.57) and least in Vermont (7.59)
which is also the least in the whole U
nion. What is somewhat remarkable, the rate
of increase in the great States of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Maryland
j is less than in either Llhode Island or Mas
! sachusetts.
I In the whole Union Wisconsin shows
j thc greatest ratio, (890.48;) next Iowa,
:(345.84;) then Arkansas, (114.85;) and

Of these, 1,542,800 arrived during the

The number of slaves manumitted and

to 1,011; the former to 1,467. Maryland

The lanffuaire of the LanDs is similar to
that of the Finns, from which race thev
, are originally an offshoot. The Lapps
in general are of middle statue. They
' have large heads, short necks, small brown
rcd eyes, owing to the constant smoke in

Bread they never eat, though ot the ryo
i meal, which they procure in Kola or of
j the fisherman in barter for the products
of their reindeer herds, they make a sort
of flat or pan cakes mingling thc meal
j with thc pounded bark of trees. For this
purpose the meal is first soaked in cold
; water, and the cakes baked upon a hotiron.
j They are eaten with butter or codfish
oil, which is esteemed a great luxury. The
mingling of the bark with the meal is not
' ilnno. merelv for the sake of economy, the
i J '
Lapps considering it an excellent and an
sels, perhaps because in all Lapland there
the rude inhabitants. Nevertheless cases
; of poisoning from the copper never occur,
being rendered impossible by the perfect
cleanliness of the copper vessels, which af-
ter every meal are scoured with sand till
they shine like mirrors. Besides, after
the food is sufficiently cooked it is imme-
diatcly poured into wooden vessels of home
manufacture.

JUST Thc gold diggings of Australia,
according to reliable intelligence, yield
much more profusely than those of Cali
fornia. The latest news from thafc conti
nent is to thc 31st of August. During a
single week in July as much as 125,000
ounces of gold dust were brought into Mel
bourne Port Philip, which at a valuation
of 20 per oz., gives a weekly product of
two and a half millions of dollars. Of
course, this rate did not hold through th
month, but the aggregate was not short
of 400,000 ounces, or $8,000,000.
Expensive Boarding. In an article
relating to tho Metropolitan Hall, New
York, the "Iugleside" says:
'In the matter of prices, few pay less
than $25 per week, and one foreign emis
sary, who has taken rooms for the season,
is paying at the rate of thirty dollars per
day, besides a very liberal extra expendi
ture for tho very choicest antique wines.
One gentleman pays $50 per week. Tho
billaiof .othara amount to 8200, 8250 and
300 per week.
