STATISTICS OF SAxony.—In an address before the Economic Society 
of Saxony, Herr von Langsdorff stated that, according to the census of 
1871, 16.21 per cent. of the Saxon people are engaged in agriculture, 
forestry, gardening, viticulture, hunting, and fishing ; 51.83 per cent. in 
mining and manufactures; 10.13 per cent. in commerce; 11.82 per 
cent. were day-laborers and servants; 0.96 per cent. in the army and 
navy; 4.15 per cent. in other occupations, and ,4.90 per cent. without 
regular occupation. Agriculture, though occupying but a small por- 
tion of the population, is by no means an unimportant industry. A 
dense population, by its greater demand for soil-products, induces a 
more effective culture, and renders agriculture a more complete spe- 
cialty, in which every improved process is placed under immediate 
requisition. 
Some years ago Saxony raised enough of agricultural produce to 
cover her own consumption, but her imports of grain and meat have grad- 
ually increased, showing in 1874 an excess over exports of 424,521,660 
pounds of grain, and 17,957,174 pounds of meat, with proportionate 
amounts of butter, lard, vegetables, fruits, &c. This surplus is drawn 
mostly from Eastern Europe.
