The Pall Mall Gazette of Wednesday had what seemed a

rather sensational statement as to the population of Prussia. According to that, the population would be about 4,000 to the square mile, or say six persons to each acre, nearly twelve times as thick as the average pOpulation of England. We suppose our con- temporary's square miles were really the German square miles, which are, roughly speaking, 21 times as large as the English.
