The census of Mexico gives the popu lation at 9.G8G.777. o State has 1,- 000,000, two States have less than 100,- 000, and several States have lesi thnn 200,000. But Senor Romero thinks that the population is really not far from 12,000,000. Eighty-two per cent, of the population lies south of the parallel of Tampico. More than half the wealth of the Republic lies south of the north ern boundary of the federal district in which Mexico Citv is situated. Mant Scotchmen init that the deer 'tound was the original of all the dogs of Great Britain. Yet the breed i so neglected now, through the decadence f deer-chasinj, and stac-coursing and other causes, that its admirers are afraid it will become extinct, even in the high lands. Precedents for such an untoward event are found in the utter disappear ance of the Irish widf-Ljund, and in the extinction of the turnspit, once a dweller in every English kitchen. PoiiTEnAN excavations havo revealed still another Venus. It is a line stat uette of the goddess, crouching, found in the workshop of the sculptor, who was apparently occupied with his snbj jeet when the terrible catastrophe came upon the city.

A ciKCCUtK railway has been built at Ponce do Leon Springs, Ga. The new railway is a wooden structure, forming a circle, being four feet high and five hun dred fee: long, inside of which is laid the track for the cars, and is graded that the cars run themselves, the high est point above the ground being twenty-two feet six inches and tho lowest point touching the ground. Mr. Wood, formerly a poor carpenter of Toledo.

In thir teen cases the sentences were commuted eleven to penal servitude for life and two to confinement in the crimin al insane asylum at Broadmoor. In 1882 tho capital sentences numbered twenty-two; fourteen of the criminals were execntcd, six areundergoingpcnal servitude for life, and two are at Broad moor. Last year twenty-three persons rrcesred sentence of death; five of these sentences were commuted to ptnal servi tude for life, two to removal to Broad moor, and in one case the death penalty was commuted to ten years penal serv itude. The ages of the persons sen tenced ranged from fourteen to seventy, the former being the age of Margaret Messenger, whoisnowundergoingpenal servitude for life, and the latter that ol Charles Gerrish. who was executed on the SOth of Januarv. 1882. The population of the United States is now 57.000.000. This is ascertained in thn fnllnwinir manner: For manv years tCe increase in time of peace has been almost preetsciv two per cent. veariv from excess of births OTer deaths. besides the excess of immigration over emirrration.

CmCAGO, I LI July 7. Yesterday was a day of excitement for those here for the last big Convention ot 1884. There was more eniinslasm, more shouting, more people on the streets, more bands and processions, more crowding ot hotel corridors, more hot and cxcltinz discussions, than on any day from the beginning to the end of the Republican Convention. The great Butler demonstration ot Saturday night had truch to do with this. Hundreds of raembcis ot trade and labor organiza tions who took little or no Interest in the Catherine of a month rco arc now arglns into tho I hotels and crowding the curbstones arguing and cheering for the man of their choice, and wearers of Batter badges, with the well-known physiogno my of the lion of Massachusetts, are to be met on every hand. This fact coupled with Saturday right's demonstration Is anything but plcas.ug to the Southern delegations, and they do not hesitate to express their opinions freely. The result has been pretty excltinz debates, which it times have threatened to develop Into something warmer than mere argument. ANYBODY TO BEAT BCTLER. A. canvass of the vaHous Southern dele gations was made In the morning, and the almost unanimoa opinion expressed may be condensed into a-slngte sentence: "We will support anybody upon whom Kew York can unite except But ler. Him we will not support." Outside of Butler the condition of affairs was precisely the same as twenty-four hours before plenty of booms, but no one claiming the lead. Nor have any dark horses been uncovered. The numerous processiona ot the day sadly disturbed the quiet harmony ot the usual Chicago Sunday. The County Democracy of New York arrived a few minutes before three o'clock in the morning. When the train of thirty cars drawn br two loco motives rolled Into the Chicago and Western Indiana Railroad depot there were nearly fire hundred Democrats ot Chicago ready to greet the visitors from New York. At 1 1:20 the cook county democratic clcb, numbering over one hundred, a larse number 01 Democratic vetctsns and the sub-reception committee formed In line on Monroe street, near Dearborn, and L marched to the depot There they had to wait for more than three hours before the train arrtreii. ine oovs passca iuc time singing and dancing on the platform.

The streets along the line of march were erowujd. Mike JlcDonald led the pro cession. A little later the County Demo crats of New York, In two detachments, with a? many ban-Is, playing lively tuues, went f the Twellth Mreet depot, receiv ed their brethren of Irving Hall with open arm and escorted them to the Leland. More people gtceted the New Yorkers than participated in the recep tion to the Itidianlans, aad thi march to the hotel was one continuous ovation. Chlcagoans do not have an opportunity to cheer political processions every Sun day In the jear, but they certainly made up for lost opiMirtuullics yesterday. The crowning demoo,tratlon of the day was reserved for the CtllEVTAlS or TlMMAXY HALL and his henchmen. It was nearly seven o'clock In the evening when their trains arrived at the Tweif th Street Depot, The various local Democratic organizations were on baud in force, and their ranks were augmented by several thousands of lookers-on. Deafening cheers greeted the Tammanyttes as they emerged from the depot, and they were continued like a fusilade of artillery as the line moved up State street, the sidewalks of which were packed with a dense mass ot hu manity. Wlienthc Palmer House was reached th.e services of a squad of police were necessity to effect an entrance for the new arrivals. John Kelly, arm la arm with Mayor Carter Harrison, led the way. His appearance in the rotunda was the signal tor a burst of applause. The ladles in the gallery waved handkerchiefs and flags, iten Butler took la the scene by peeping down over tho smoulders or a fair immsel. Roger A. Pryor right behind him, ran hi lingers meditatlfciy through his long hair, and the usual sphinx-like counte nance of Congressman MorrUou lighted up with surprise at the heartiness of the reception. Kelly, however, taking no no tice of the plaudits, marched with the rest ! pf the deitgatUn to the Id. Hard hall, j Availed until the order to disband was given, and again emerged and mounted the stairs to the Tammany headquarters, the cheering meanwhile being resumed with increasing Intensity. For flltcer, minutes thereafter the crowd veiled Iicll hoarse in its calls for "Krl.y" and "speech," but the chieftain Old not re spond. Calls for cheers Tor Cleveland met with a hearty roponx, but the men tion of Butler's name ux the sigtial for an outburst ot hisses and dcrblve yells.

Notwithstanding the claims which have been made IhatTHden prefers the nomin ation of Cleveland over other candidates, there appears to be a very gi n 'ral im pression that some one of the other gen tlemen uanwd for first place will receive the Indorsement ol the New York dele gation. Those who argue la this way base their conclusions upon the'hrory of of Cleveland's unpopularity among the laboring people. DR.
