LATER FROM YUcATAN-.4nother Revolutions
The New Orleans papers contain late adVices
rom Yucatan, which it appears has issued
another pronunciameato against Mexico. The
Delta says:
This news of new revolution in Yucatan,
in opposition to Mexico, comes to us in rather
a questionable shape-and, for our part, we
have strong misgiv!ngs Gifts truth. Although
we may be mistaken in the opinion, wo regard
it as nothing other than device TO effect the
unobstructed entrance Of the Joaquna to, and
clearance from, this port. The Joaqulna
leaves Campeachy; at the time Of her dePar-
ture there is not a word about revolutions; she
goes to Laguna, and hears nothing Of tho rovo-
luton; but after having left, she meets with a
revenue officer, who puts two detached sheets
of printing paper on board, the substance of
whose contents we give elsewhere. And this
is all the Captain Of the Joaquina knows about
the YuCatan revolution
We cannot help thinking that suspicion
turks in the story. BY the way the United
States flag is in the centre of the wood cut to
the circular, which is bel low instead Of above it.
A letter received by commercial house, da-
ted Laguna, 10Th ult, says that the U. $. brig
Porpose sailed from that port few days pre-
vous, having put in for supply Of provisions.
The letter also states that it was rumored at
Laguna that the ports Of Eucatan were shortly
to bo blockaded by the U. S. squadron.

I>rrprsrlSG STATISTICS. 1t is practice
dong established in tho Society Of Friends, and
Is enioined by their church discipline, that every
mac,inr keep a regular record OF the births and
deaths gifts members. We have lately seen a
ppblished list, entitled Obituary of the Mem
bors of the Society of Friends in Great Britain
and Ireland for the year 1885," which exhibits
al extent of longevity that. is truly astonishing,
and we presume surpasses that attained by any
other association or community either in Eu-
rope or this country.
THE number Of deaths of the Society OF
Friends in Great Britain and Ireland during
The year 1915, including 96 children who dled
before attaining tho age Of one year, was 324'
The aggregate Of their ages was 10, i32 years.
this gives an average Of 81 years, months
and 81 DAYS to each individual!
We had heretofore seen London Medical
ratification. in which it was stated the longoVi-
e. Of the Qlakers in that city was far greater
chan any other people there, and this was at
tributcd to their being generally IN easy CIR
cumstances, and Of prudent habits. But when
we reflect that of the whole human race that
are born in civilized countries, it is estimated
one-haIf die before reaching the age Of twenty
one years, and that by the bills of mortality,
weekly published, in our large cities, one-hall
that are born, die before attaining tho age OF
five years, the average of life attained by the
Quakers in England is truly astonishing, and
can only be attributed to the restraints and
snoderation which the principles and discipline
Of that sect impose upon its members, and by
which they are restricted from minglng in
many Of the designations and pernicious in
dulgences that hurry thousands Of our thought
less youth into premature graves
