MARRIAGE AND HEALTH.-Dr. Casper, of Ber-
lin, has calculated that the mortality among
bachelors, from the age Of twenty to forty-five
years, is twenty seven per cent, while among
married men of the same age it is only eighteen
per cent The advantage in favor of married
life is still more striking in persons of advanced
age. AT sixty years of age, there remain but
twenty-five bachelors for fortyeight married
men, out of given number; at seventy years,
eleven bachelors for twenty married and
at eighty years, three bachelors against nine
married men.

Bas" The movements of Kossuth, the New
York Herald says, are marked with continued
interest. But it is a melancholy fact that very
little consideration is shown for his health,
position, or the objects of his visit to this coun-
try, by large majority of those who worry
him almost to death by shaking of hands and
spinning long yarns.
