it appears that Boston now haa 435,000 inhabi
tants, a gain of about 75,000 since 1880.
Brooklyn is put down at 670,000, a gain of 104,
000. Chicago is placed at 650,000, a gain ol
nearly 150,000. f She is picking np onBrook-
lyn fast, and will be ahead in a week or two, at
prevailing rates; Even at these high estimates
of population, the mortality in Brooklyn and
Chicago is terrible about 380 per week, or at
the rate of 30 per 1,000,000 of population per
annum. St. Louis is modestly put down aV
375,000 inhabitants, being an estimated in
crease of 25,000 since the census year, yet the
deaths are considerably less than half as many
as in either Chicago or Brooklyn. It is worthy t'
of note that the river cities show a lower ratei
of mortality than either the lako cities, eastea
