The earth is inhabited by about thirteen hundred millions of inhabitants, viz: 360,000,000 of the Caucassian race; 1,000,000 of the American Indians. All these respectively speak 3,064 languages, and possess 1,000 different religions. The amount of deaths per annum is 33, 333,333, or 91,954 per day, 3, 730 per hour, 60 per minute, or one per second. This loss is compensated by an equal number of births. The average duration of life throughout the globe is thirty-three years. One-fourth of its population dies before the seventh year, and one-half before the seventeenth. Out of 10,000 persons only one reaches his hundredth year; only one in 500 his eightieth; and only one in one hundred his sixty-fifth. Married people live longer than unmarried ones, and a tall man is likely to live longer than a short one. Until the fiftieth year, women have a better chance of life than men; but beyond that period the chances are equal. Sixty-five persons out of one thousand marry. The months of June and December are those in which marriages are most frequent. Children born in spring are generally stronger than those born in other seasons. Births and deaths chiefly occur at night. The number of men able to bear arms is only one-eighth of the population. It is estimated that there are some (14,000,000 persons of African descent on this continent, viz: POSTAL INFORMATION.
