WHY MANY INFANTS DIE.

Dr. Maclagan, medical officer of the Hexham
Rural Sanitary Authority, in his annual report, says
that the appalling fact that out of every 1000 child-
ren born in this district 124 die in their first year, is
sufficient to show the necessity for more stringent
means than at present exists being adopted to stay
such a "massacre of the innocents in the Ilexham
Union. After referring to insufficient, and improper
food, Dr. Maclagan says one great factor in the pro-
duction of infantile inflammatory diseases, cerebral
and pulmonary, is the exposure which arises from
the use of perambulators. The use of perambulators
should, in his opinion, be strongly condemned, unless
under very exceptional circumstances. Dr. Maclagan
also condemns the insurance of infants' lives and the
use of laudanum, and asks —Why should not a Royal
Commission be appointed to inquire into the cause of
_tibia an infantile mortality, the conditions under
which it occurs, and the best means aiapted for its
amelioration? Were that done, he believed much
good might be effected.

THE MURDEH OF MISSIONARIES ,IN
AFRICA.

A long letter from Mrs. Houghton, wife of the Rev.
John Houghton, both of whom have, since the date
of the letter, April 3, been killed by the Massai
tribe in Galls county, East Africa, has just been re-
ceived by her brother, Mr. William Brown, Denton,
Cheshire. No particulars have come to light respect-
ing the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Houghton, but the lady's
letter contains fuller details than any yet published of
the murder of Bishop Hannington. She says: "I am
the prat white woman that has ever been in this part
of Africa, so that you may know I have been gazed
at not a little. No other European missionaries have
ever been stationed here, and there are none nearer
than Mombassa. We are quite isolated. Poor
Bishop Hannington met with a terrible death. He
had with him no other European. Ono William
Jones, a black man from India, who is a curate at one
of the church missions, I think, was his leading man.
The men he took with him were picked men, and
only three of them were saved, escaping during the
excitement; the rest were all bound and speared.
The bishop, bound hands and feet, was shot. This
has cast a gloom over all the mission stations. He was
very much respected. We have been much unsettled
ever since our arrival, partly owing to the difficulties in-
herent in missionary life, and partly owing to the exces-
sive demands upon us by the thief and people here. This
is an expensiv3 mission, and we need be careful. They
have had a lot of money from the mission, and seem
to regard us only as a means of supply. My hus-
band has shown to them our true position and tried
to stop their constant begging, with results not very
pleasing a* first, but now they are much quieter and
more respectful ; to be on good terdis with these
people you must needs give much. We have given
the chief a present, but it was not enough.' The re-
mainder of the unfortunate lady's letter is devoted
to domestic details. It seems clear that the repeated
begging raids terminated in the murder of both Mr.
and Mrs. Houghton, who left Cheshire quite recently
for the East Coast of Africa.

IiNIPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

AGRARIAN MURDER.

In the HrTSR OF LORDS, June 7, Lord Spencer,
in reply to Lord Limerick, corroborated the statement
which bed appeared in the public press as to the recent
agrarian murder in the county of Kerry. He added
that the Inspector. General of Constabulary proceeded
to that county on Sunday night to report as to what
further steps should be taken to put down Moon' ght
outrages, the number of constabulary having been
already largely increased there, and the patrol system
having been much extended.

MR. JOHN MORLEY, MP., AT THE

EIGHTY CLUB:

Mr. John Morley, M.P., who was the principal
guest at the dinner of the Elghty Club on Tuesday
night, said the occasion, he feared, was hardly a fes-
tive one considering the event of the early morning,
when he saw all the guests of the club but one going
into the wrong lobby. After their defeat the Govern-
ment had to consider their position with regard to
Parliament, the Sovereign, and the country. They
had arrived at a decision which he WaS not at liberty
to state, but he might say that the division was the
beginning and not the end. Ministers had no doubt
or misgiving as to the course on which they had
embarked they would not abandon the cause which
the leader of the party had made his own. The
right hon. gentleman then expatiated on the Minis-
terial Irish policy and the opposition it had encoun-
tered, and maintained that the condition of Ireland
demanded the adoption of that policy.

DEMARDING HIS "THREE ACRES."

On Monday an elderly man, who lives near Wake-
field, came to Doncaster along with his son, and, pro-
ceeding to the Corporation Offices, made a formal de-
mand for his "three acres." He was not particularly
anxious for the cow—or, rather, preferred the land,
as his on could help him to till it. ire assured the
official whom he saw that there was an advertisement
in a Yorkshire newspaper stating that the Corporation
had several lots of land to dispose of. He was sent
to the Poor Law Offices, and finally was referred to
Mr. W. E. Shirley, Town Clerk.

THE COST OF AMERICAN STRIKES.

From a calculation made on May 15 it appears
that the total number of reported short hour strikers
in most of the more prominent industrial centres of
the United States was about 200,000 within two or
three weeks before that date. In addition to these,
there were within that period at most about 50,000
men on strike whose demands were not for shorter
hours of labour. This would give a grand total of
industrial strikers for all reasons, between April 24
and May 14, of 250,000. It is estimated that quite
3,000,000 dole. of wages have been sacrificed by those
250,000 men within three weeks, causing a loss of
certainly not less than 2,500,000 dole, to employers
from interruption of business. There are, besides,
additional losses, amounting to a total of 4,400,000
dole., caused by deferred or cancelled miscellaneous
and industrial contracts which reach into the future,
as well as on account of building contracts, of a total
amount of 20,400,000 dole. The aggregate loss
within less than a month, therefore, to the industries
affected by the recent strikes in the United States
reaches the appalling sum of 30,300,000 dole. (nearly
£6,100,000).

I should like to —see any kind of a man, distin-
guishable from a gorilla, that some good and even
pretty woman could not shape a husband out of.—

'A CITY BANKER AND HIS DEBTS.

On Tuesday, in the Lord Mayor's Court, before the
Assistant Judge, the case of " Waterlow and Son v.
Findlay and Co." was heard. , It was a judgment
summons to recover a debt of £l3 3s. 10d. The de-
fendant did not appear. The collector for the plain-
tiffs was called, and stated that the defendant was a
banker in the firm of Findlay and Co., of 46, Lom-
bard-street. His Lordship: A banker! In what
position does he appear to be? The Witness: Ile
Dceupies the main offices at the address named and
three other rooms. He has also a manager and two
clerks, and lives at Emptror's-gate, South Kensing-
ton. His Lordship: In what sort of a house? Wit-
ness: It is a good, large house, and the rent must be
about £2OO a year. His Lordship: Why does he
not pay this debt? Witness: Ido now know.
Once when I called upon him and asked for pay-
ment, he simply said, "I shan't." His Lordship:
Very well; there will be an order for payment
in full in a month, or a committal to issue in de-
fault.

FLUCTUATIONS IN VALUE.

An interesting and very instructive official return
has been issued showing the fluctuations in the value
of the principal articles since 1828 upon which Eng-
lish farmers rely. In that year the average price of
wheat was 60s. sd. per quarter, and last year it was
only 325. 10d., and barley has fallen from 325. 10d.
to 30s. id. Cattle, sheep, and butter are dearer than
they were in 1828, but materially below the prices
touched in 1883. The price of cattle has risen from
4s. per stone in 1828 to 4s. lid. in 1885, after being
ss. 81d. in 1883; sheep from 3s. 13d. to ss. 4d., after
touching 6s. 103 d.; and butter from £3 10s. 4d. per
cast, to £4 16s. 33d. Wool has fallen considerably in
value during the last twenty years or so. In 1868
English fleeces fetched as much as is. 7d. per lb.,
and last year only 102 d.

A WELL KNOWN CRICKETER SENT TO
PRISON.

At Cheltenham Police-court, on Monday morning,
Mr. W. R. Gilbert, professional cricketer, a member
of the Gloucester Eleven, was charged with stealing
half-a-sovereign and one shilling at the East Glouces-
tershire Cricket Ground, on Saturday last. Captain
Willes, the honorary secretary of the East Gloucester-
shire Club, stated that several sums of money had been
missed from the pockets of members in the dressing-
room, and he communicated with the police. Sergeant
Woolford secreted himself over the dressing-room,
and saw the defendant enter about 12 o'clock and
change. Ten minutes later defendant was left alone.
The sergeant then saw him take half-a-sovereign from
Captain Willes' waistcoat, which was hanging in the
room at luncheon-time. The sergeant told Captain
Willes what be had seen, and the defendant produced
half-1.-sovereign, which was marked. Another charge
was preferred against the defendant of stealing half -a-
sovereign from another pocket, which be was seen to
take by the sergeant. Defendant pleaded guilty, and
was committed to 28 days' imprisonment.

:THE TENDER AND DELICATE
HERRING.

Singular as it may appear, the common herring is a
fish which it is most difficult to procure and preserve
alive in inland aquariums, it being so delicate that
the loss of even a few scales during transportation is
sure to cause its death. For several years Dr.
Hermes, of the Berlin Aquarium, has vainly tried to
obtain some specimens for his establishment; they
had either been rubbed in the net or touched with the
hand, and died before reaching Berlin. He has at
last succeeded in obtaining a live one, one of his men
having by this time grown sufficiently expert to catch
it in a sort of glass balloon lowered with the net.
For other specimens of the finny tribe, in the sea-
water basin of the Aquarium, Trieste is the principal
purveyor.

SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A CHILD.

At Worcester, on Monday, Walter Poole, riveter,
Waterloo-street, was charged with assaulting his son,
aged eight years. On Sunday night, about 11.30,
Police-sergeant Harding was called to defendant's
house. He found him drunk, lying upon a feather
bed before the fire in the lower room. In a room
upstairs the police found five children lying on rags.
They had not been undressed, and were very dirty.
ha a recess in the same room had been fixed a square
post that had formed part of a bedstead, and to that
post the boy had been tied tightly with a rope round
the middle of his body. The boy's feet only just touched
the ground, and he could not bear the weight of his
body upon them. He had to lean his chest on the sharp
edge of the post. The boy told the pollee that he
had been tied there ever since Friday. He could not
possibly stir; and he said also that he had had
nothing to eat since Friday except a piece of dry
toast. His chest was very much swollen where he
had rested against the edge of the post, and the upper
part of his back was covered with bruises. When
the rope was unfastened he was too exhausted to
stand. The room was in a dreadful state, and the
stench unbearable. Several neighbours spoke of the
prisoner's cruelty to his children. Prisoner, in his
defence, said he only corrected the boy because he
would not go to school, and remained out all night.
Police-sergeant Harding said that the prisoner's
wife was in the Infirmary, suffering from his ill-
usage. The magistrates sentenced him to six months'
hard labour.

A special council of tho Gloucester Chamber of
Commerce has held sittings during the past four
months for the purpose of collecting evidence with a
view to the improvement of the trade of the city.
The committee recommend that the Canal Company
increase its capital by the creation of an additional
£lOO,OOO of ordinary stock; that the corporation of
Gloucester borrow money in order to purchase
£60,000 of such stock, stipulating that the dues on
corn and timber be materially reduced and made equal
at Gloucester and at Sharpness: that the city be
represented on the Canal Board; that the £60,000
furnished by the corporation be spent on the internal
improvements of the canal, while the Canal Company

DIOCESAN INSPECTORS.

The annual meeting of diocesan inspectors was held
at Lambeth Palace on Monday, the Bishop of Lich-
field in the chair, the Archbishop being absent on
urgent business. Diocesan inspectors were present
from the dioceses of Canterbury (2), York, London.
(2), Durham, Winchester (4), Bath and Wells, Glou-
cester and Bristol, Hereford, Lichfield, Lincoln (2),
Oxford (2), Peterborough (2), and Truro; and the
Dean of Chester, Canon Cromwell, and the Rev. H.
D. de Brisay. The question discussed was the pre-
sent condition of religious instruction in Church
schools throughout England and Wales, especially in
comparison with its condition previous to the passing
of the Education Act in 1870. In a lengthened con-
sideration of the various branches of the subject, the
prevalent opinion was that a great improvement had
taken place in the religious instruction of Church
schoola during the interval, and that the action of the
Church had tended both to consolidate and to extend
the scheme of instruction in force before, and with
results which were thought to be satisfactory. The
inspectors were afterwards received by Mrs. Benson
in the drawing room of Lambeth Palace.

BURIED AS SOMEBODY ELSE.

A curious illustration of carelessness on the part of
the officials at the Morgue is narrated by the New
York Post, and might furnish materials for a yellow-
covered novel. An old man named Hahn, a German,
went to the almshouse and died there about three
months ago. In order to spare his son the mortifica-
tion of knowing that he had been dependent upon
public charity for support, he informed the authorities
that he had no relatives whatever, and when he died,
therefore, his body was interred in Potter's Field.
It happened that at the same time that there was,
among the dead sent down to the Morgue, the body
of another almshouse inmate, an Irishman, by name
M'Cullough. Friends were found to resrme the body
oi the latter, and on the day Hahn was laid away on
Hart's Island, the other man was interred at St.
Michael's Cemetery, at Astoria. Hahn's son only
heard of the death of his ;:ather a few days ago, and
immediately took steps to have his remains disin.
terred. Securing the necessary permit, he proceeded
to Hart's Island with an undertaker. The pine box
with the tag "John Hahn" on, sure enough, was
there; but on opening it the body of a big man, fully
six feet high, and with thick hair and beard, came to
light. The Junior Hahn was astonished, inasmuch as
his father was at least five inches shorter than the
man in the coffin, and was bald ard beardless. A
mistake had been made, and inquiries made it pro-
bable that the bodies of McCullough and Hahn had
in some way become mixed, and exchanged at the
Morgue. Hahn, therefore, must be buried in the
grave of McCullough, in St. Michael's Cemetery; so
thither went the son, and caused the supposed grave
of the latter to be opened. But it did not contain
Hahn's body. Then as many as a dozen graves were
opened in succession with a like disappointing result,
and at last the son gave up the search in disgust.

RANGOON June 5.

An outbreak occurred to-day in Bassein Gaol
among the prisoners awaiting trial for rebellion. It
was promptly suppressed, but four prisoners were
shot during the disturbance.
CALCUTTI, June 0.

The condition of the united provinces continues
far from satisfactory. Public opinion in India is all
but unanimous in pointing to Sir Charles Befnard as
the person primarily responsible, and, as far as can
be gathered. the same opinion is held in Burmah.
one denies Sir Charles Bernard's ability, energy, or
honesty of purpose, but it is felt that he has shown
himself altogether deficient in the qualities re-
quired for organising the new province, and has
failed to strike the proper key of the situation.
What is wanted is not additional troops, but a
strong man thoroughly in sympathy with the
people—such a man as the late Sir Arthur Phavre,
or as was Mr. Nicholson in the Punjab. It is begin-
ning to be whispered, too, that General White is not
the right man in the right place. If things go on as
at present the pacification will be a very tedious and
serious business, while under a strong common-sense
and elastic Government the country would be in order
in a few months. District officers would be carefully
selected and then trusted fully and suppprted heartily,
and there would no longer be any need for punitive
expeditions, which largely punish innocent villagers
and not the dacoi,s. Lower Burrnah is in a hardly
less unsatisfactory condition. This fact is mainly due
to the disorganized state of the police. A little
more weakness may do infinite mischief, for the
Burmese are a romantic people, and only the proof
of British power will keep them quiet.

CHURCH ENDOWMENTS:

A Nonconformist minister of Bridport, having
stated that Lord Selborne had described the endow-
ments of the Church as State property, his lordship
has, under date May 31, written a letter to an elector
of that town on the subject, and says: " Nothing
can possibly be more contrary to the fact than to
represent me as having ever said or thought that the
endowments of the Church of England are State or
national property, or that they can justly be taken
away by Parliament. I am, and always have been,
of exactly the contrary opinion. -Unless, for some
just cause of forfeiture, I hold that they could no
more be taken away from that large part of the people
which (under ancient and legal titles—not even
originally conferred by any public act of the State)
is now in practical enjoyment of them, than any
property held in trust under the protection of public
law for the religious purposes of any Nonconformist
denomination could be."

"Have you voted, Uncle Johnson?" "Yes, Bah!
I voted early dis mo'ning de Republican ticket, sal
Den at noon I voted for de Dimmycrats, and jist afore
de polls closed I deposited a ballot for the Prohibi-
tionist. Yes, sah, I idlers vote. I'm too good a Chris-
tian to neglect my duty, Bah."

MR. CHAMBERLAIN AND MR: JAMES
O'KELLY.

The following correspondence between Mr. Cham-
berlain and Mr. James J. O'Kelly, M.P., has been
published:
"40, Princes-gardens, S.W., May 31, 1886.
" Sir,—A correspondent has sent me a copy of a
New York paper, in which there appears a letter
signed 'James O'Kelly,' and dated from the House of
Common's Library, May 15. In this letter it is
stated, among other things, that in a fashionable
drawing-room during the week, Chamberlain described
Gladstone publicly in language usually reserved to the
special use of drunken rowdies, and which is unfit for
publication.' In the same letter the following passage
appears—' It seems be (Mr. Chamberlain) goes about
among Radical and Liberal members, saying privately,
"Why should we concede Home Rule to Parnell?
The dynamiters are on his track, and sooner or later
they will kill him."' Both these statements are
absolutely and entirely untrue. I am not in the
habit of using language unfit for publication, either
in drawing-rooms or elsewhere, and I have never
used such language about Mr. Gladstone or any one
else. I know nothing about the proceedings of dyna-
miters, and I have never stated that they were on
the track of Mr. Parnell; nor have I any informa-
tion whatever to justify such a statement. I now
call upon you to give the authority for the assertions
contained in your letter, and at the same time pub-
licly to withdraw the statements you have been in-
duced to make, with so much circumstantiality, and
at the same time without the slightest real founda-
tion. I reserve the right of publishing the corres-
dence.

"I am, yours obediently,
" CHAMBERLAIN'.
:" Mr. Jas. O'Kelly, M.P., House of Commons."
"House of Commons Library, June 3, 1886.
"Sir,—The statements quoted in your letter of May
:31 were:made to me by English members of the Irouse
of Commons and of the Liberal Party, but they were
not made for the purpose of puMioation. Therefore,
I alone am responsible for giving them to the public.
At the earliest opportunity I shall publish your denial
in the same manner as the original statements. But I
decline to withdraw them, because confidential infor-
mation in my possession convinces me that, notwith-
standing your denial, it is a fact that you have used
expressions in reference to Mr. Gladstone of the
character imputed to you in my letter.
"Yours obediently,
JANIES O'KELLY.
"The Right Hon. J. Chamberlain."
"40, Princes-gardens, S.W., June 4,_1886,

"Sir,—l regret to learn from your letter of the 3rd
inst. that you have published the slanders of which I
have complained on information the authorship of
which you are unable or unwillipg to produce. I shall
leave to the public the appreciation of these charac-
teristic tactics.

AN EMIGRANT'S INFORMATION
OFFICE.

There has just been published as a Blue Book
copies of correspondence on the subject of emigration
from Great Britain to the colonies, and the proposed
formation of an emigrants' information office. A
letter from the Treasury to the Colonial Office, dated
May 15, conveys the basis on which the Lords Com-
missioners of her Majesty's Treasury agree to the es-
tablishment of an emigrants' information office. The
following are among the conditons specified: An in-
formation office to be established under the manage-
ment of an unpaid committee, comprising a chairman
(or working chief of the office), who should be a
person of practical philanthropic experience selected
from the outside public, and a clerk on the
establishment of the Colonial Office, who would
represent the Colonial Office and her Majesty's
Government generally on the committee, and be the
medium of intercourse between the Government and
the committee. Parliament is to be asked to contri-
bute a sum of £5OO per annum to the expenses of the
information office, of which £450 would be used for
paying wages to two or three clerks of the stamp of
merchants' or solicitors' clerks. The other £5O to be
paid at the end of each year to that one of the two
extra emigration office clerks in the Colonial Office
who had been regularly employed throughout the
year. As there are no vacant rooms for the accom-
modation of the office a sum of £125 is authorised for
the hire of offices. The necessary stationery would
be supplied by the Stationery Offiee, and the Station-
ery Office would print and publish the information
collected, the proceeds of sales to be carried to the
public account. The title-page of the publications
should show that the information was compiled from
the returns of the colonial agents, &c., and should
contain an absolute disclaimer of Government re-
sponsibility for accuracy.

DAIRY FARMERS CONFERENCE AT

DERBY.!

On Tuesday a four days' conference in connection
with the British Dairy Farmers' Association was
begun in the Town Hall, Derby, Lord Vernon, presi-
dent of the association, in the chair. Among others
present were Mr. W. Wells, of Peterborough, Mr. J.
Bowen-Jones, Sir John Thorold, Professor Arnold,
Mr. H. M. Jenkins, Mr. Le Rouse, Mr Maas, Pro-
fessor Long, the Hon. Cecil Parker, Mr. A. Askworth,
Canon Begot, Mr. T. Crompton, Mr. Vanderby, ,he
Hon. Edward Coke, Mr. R. H. White, Sir James
Caird, Mr. Rowel Jones, Mr. Moreton Frewen, Sir
R. Beauchamp, Sir W. Clarke, and Professor Sheldon.
The Hon. Edward Coke read an address of welcome
to the members of the association in the name of the
Derbyshire Committee, representing the Derbyshire,
Leicestershire, ",Nottinghamshire, and Staffm ds b ire
Agricultural Societies and the Derbyshire Dairy
Farmers' Association, which concluded as follows:
"The Derbyshire dairy factories were established
when the town milk trade was in its infancy,
and have always combined the sale of milk
with the manufacture of cheese and butter. With im-
proved systems of feeding and means for refrigerating
the town milk trade has increased enormously since
it was commenced in Derbyshire by three or four
farmers in 1865, who were the pioneers. At the
present time the Midland Railway Company alone
carries the produce of 20,000 Derbyshire cows to the
large towns, east, north, and south; but unless the
present prices improve it seems very doubtful whether
dairy farmers will be able to obtain a livelihood, and
all eagerly anticipate that this conference in our
midst will diffuse such information as will enable us
to find other profitable outlets for our products."
Lord -Vernon said that experience no doubt taught the
farmer what no amount of study could do, but those
men who combined science, perseverance, and practice
were undoubtedly combating the times of depression
more successfully than those who did not. His
object in regard to butterine makers was so to amend
the Butterine Bill as to prevent its reference to a
Select Committee. Canon Bagot and others took
part in the discussion on the question, and strong
opinions were expressed that the bill was not at all
too stringent in its provisions. Ultimately Lord
Vernon promised to consult a committee of his
guests with a view of improving the provisions of the
Butterine Bill which has been laid on the table of the
House by him. Mr. Robert E. Turnbull subsequently
read a paper on "The Selection and Management
of Dairy Cattle," and after a discussion the confer-
ence adjourned.

LOW PRICES OF BUTTER:

The present season, writes the Grocer, is likely to
be one of the most remarkable for the abundance and
cheapness of this article which has been seen for
several years past. Since the early part of this year
there has been an almost continuous decline in the
value of both Irish and foreign sorts, and so con-
vinced have the buyers felt that the depreciation was
not a mere temporary one, due to the caprice of the
market at an exceptional period, that the retail prices
to consumers have been specially reduced more than
once within the last few weeks; and, so far, as it is
possible to judge of the future, the prospects for
butter this season are more satisfactory than usual.
To be enabled to say thus much is admitting a
great deal—more than anyone could venture to
assert years ago, when high rates were the rule
rather than the exception, and when, moreover,
it was difficult to get pure butter so good as it
is now. Various circumstances have com-
bined to bring about this result, and, without
attempting to enumerate, or least of all define
them, we may observe that the chief cause of quota-
tions for butter being so low as they are is that ex-
treme depression has overtaken that trade in the
same way as it has many others. The abundance
and cheapness of butter are exercising a dread influence
upon the sale of butterine and other imitations of the
sterling article, for useful Danish butter of unques-
tionable origin can now be bought on the quay in
London at sfis. to 60s. per cwt., which is virtually
underselling the very kinds that a short time ago were
fast driving out and taking the place of superior and
desirable makes that happened to be quoted at ad-
vanced rates. Some of the retailers, we are glad to
say, have already taken the hint, and have been sup-
plying the public with pure butter, both English and
foreign, at 10d. to is. per lb.; while in the southern
parts of Ireland, where there is an immense produc-
tion, fine butter is being :profitably retailed at 7d.
to Bd., and the commoner grades at sd. to 6d. per lb.
