are the men who complain Of promiscuous inter
course among slaves. There is, in our opinion,
! far more strict observance Of the marriage re-
lation among the slaves of the South, than by
the people Of Paris, the citadel of liberty equal
ity, and fraternity. 1t is impossible that free
government can be maintained by people NOR
ally dcpraved like those of the French capital.
Nor can such people increase like those Of
purer morals. The increase of the population
of Paris for the last year, was one-third of one
per cent Among Southern slaves it is about
two per cent. per annum.

private houses, the females were 1879, and the
males S,753. In the civil hospitals the males
were 5,272, and the females 1893 Out of the
564 bodies taken to the Morgue, 81 were females,

The principles of communism or socialism
appear to be in practical operation to great ey-
tent in Paris. One third of the children born,
are illegitimate, and one-third of the people who

one-third of the births is thus known officially
to be ilegitimate it is highly probable that two
thirds are actually bastard. This dTatas'taat

L.ouIsrANA--THE ToMB OF GENERAL TAYLOR.

matter rests, of course, with the afflicted family

no obstacle to the claim presented by his State to
perform for him this mournful duty. To make it

Mortality Of New York.

We invite attention to the subjoined statement
of the mortality of the city Of New York, which
we take from the Tribune
twill be seen that the deaths in single week
number 1888, and this without the presence Of
epidemic or pestileEce. It is true that it is in
the sickly season of the year, but one which for
that reason, drives large portion of the popu-
lation, that can afford it, dtt of the city At this
rate of mortality the deaths in one year would
amount to more than twenty thousand; but taxi
ing all seasons, they do in fact, according to the
official returns, exceed fifteen thousand, which is
one out of every twenty nine inhabitants --assum
ing the population to be 100000.
The proportion Of adults in New York is very
large, arising from the preponderance OF that
class among foreign emigrants and among the
country people that flock to that city. SO that
If the health Of that city were equal to the coun
try the proportion of deaths to population would
be much less, as the mortality Of children is
much greater than adults.
New York has at this time about fifty thousand
children less than the proportion properly be-
longing to population in natural condition:
yet of her total mortality last week, 275, nearly
three fourths, of the deaths were of children.
It viii be seen also, that this mortality does
not prevail chiefly or disproportionately among
emgrants OF the total number of deaths 29l
were natives of the United States, more than
three-fourths, and that is much greater than the
proportion of native inhabitants in that city:
and it results from the excessive number Of
children's deaths.
We have not time, now, nor space to present
the evidence, to show precisely how much the
mortality of New York exceeds what it ought to
be, according to the results elsewhere, partcu-
larry in the South. The annual sacrifice of life,
in the city of New York, is greater, BY at least
four thousand, than among the same number in
Virginia
The causes of this frightful disparity are the
vices, the wants, the unwholesome air of a
crowded city and its unwholesome employments.
If in the South the slaves were reduced to
condition so fatal to health, to comfort, or to
life, all the North would ring at the barbarity-
And we invite those feminine philanthropists Of
the North, who are so much distressed about the
hardships of the slaves, to look into the dens of
death and disease at home. Let them behold
the wasted forms, the haggard cheeks, and hollow
eyes, the infant anguish, the premature graves

situations of their parents and of seclnsion from
