THE LITTLE CHICKEN AND THE SPEAKERsHIP.
I'VE remember reading, some time since, Of
an old farmer down East, who was wakened
one morning by disturbance in his henhouse,
and on going there he discovered three hens
he had mOurned az lost, but which had been
setting up in the loft oil on one egg. The
egg had hatched miserable little chicken,
And all three of the old clucking hens laid
claim to it, and fairly killed it with kindness.
Such, we fear, will be the result with the
Speaker, who is to be claimed respectively by
Know Nothing free sellers, free soil demo-
Gratis, and black republicans, as their own ex-
elusive little chicken, provided always that
they succeed in Matching it.

TeNGuE-The Richmond Wing, (l2th section
Anerican,) thus speaks of the American Organ
at Washing ton, lately gone over TO the black
republicans, at venture -
Oh, no The Washington Oyydn just now Is in no
humor to approve Of anything Southern. It's sympa-
thies and convictions happen to be where the votes
for the public printing TO be fouDdand that the
sire Of The North The southern who v,tes for the
Organ should have his chopped oil and his tongue
taken out by the roots.
Who, then, are to give Mr.. Vespasian Ellis
the printing for the House? We understand
that the black republicans have another candi-
date or two cut and dried, and that the Organ
joined the "cause" entirely too late in the
afternoon to be entitled to penny. If Mr..
Ellis were to mix in little democracy with
his new free soil principles, perhaps he might do
something. But we hope that he will not insist
upon any Southern man casting his vote for
printer at the peril of having " his ears chopped
of, and his tongue taken out by the roots"
Better fall back upon the Oronoco sarsaparilla
trade.

points, and made all the hits in the dialogue toll The
star Of the troupe Is the low comedian Master George

The little girl who play Cd the Beast also very clever

Annual MortUlity.

According to this table, if health can
be measured by figures, the United States
is nearly twice as healthy country as
England, France or Prussia, and more
than twice as healthy as Austria and
Russia. Some allowance must be made,
it is true, for omissions in these returns
of ours, but similar omissions must exist
in the European tables as well; and, besides,
in the table given above, the stillborn are
omitted altogether in the English, French,
Prussian and Austrian, but included in the
Russian and United States returns. If the
comparative statements were placed on an
equality in this respect it would be found that
the disproportion is really enormous.
The gross yearly increase of population in
this country in 1850, was set down at A. in
round numbers from natural causes and immi-
grafton computed together. Deducting, there
fore, the neutrality-suspicious. net increase is
about three per cent per annum, at which rate
the population doubles itself in some twenty
three years.
Passing to the examination of the cases of
those 323023 who died between LIST June,
1S49, and LIST June, 1850, we find that nearly
half of these--or 1888 persons-died of
what the report calls zymotic diseases-mean-
ing thereby cholera, and the various classes of
contagious fevers. The year ls49 was cho-
lera year in some parts Of the country; 81, SOC
persons are returned as having died of it, one
third Of whom ware foreigners. Yellow fever
we mil5er then esuaf; eo'y Tsj having died
Of y. OF the sporadic diseases, namely, those
which cannot be suspected of being contagious,
the most fatal class was diseases of the respi-
ratory organs, to which cause IL per cent
of the total deaths were due consumption
and pneumonia being the most fatal
varieties of the genus. Diseases Of the
brain come next, with relative mortality to
the total of nearly eight per cent over half
the deaths classed under this head were those
Of children who died Of commissions and SINH
lar accidents during teething. Nearly four
per cent of the total deaths were caused by
dropsy; q singularly large mortality for such
disease. Out Of the whole list only 9.O27
died Of old age.
The proportion Of foreigners to natives In
the mortality returns is rs one to ten; in other
abroad, half Of this ten per cent in Ireland,
and a quarter In Germany But the returns of
deaths from each particular disease show con-
siderable variation In the proportion. Thirty
three per cent of the deaths from cholera were
of foreigners; but barely six per cent of the
persons who died from disease of the brain were
born abroad, and barely six Of those who died
Of diseases Of the digestive organs These
variations are easily understood In lsi9-'5o
cholera was the scourge Of the emgrant
whom IL afflicted far more severely than the
native citizen. Dyspepsia, on the contrary, is
the peculiar disease of Americans, and usually
spares foreigners; while brain diseases we're
naturally most felt among children who were
natives.

wonderful liking 10 free soil democrats in
preference to free soil wings. Hence their ar
dent support Of Preston King as the Seward
candidate for our Secretary of State; and
hence their present Partially for Mr.. Banks.
Their simple object is to crush out the last
vestiges of the old wing party, for fear it may
come to life again; and SO they despise these
stiff backed old wings as heartily as in his last
days they despised Daniel Webster.
The chances, then, are that the negro fusion
lists will have failed last night to secure the
desertions from Fuller necessary to elect
Banks; and in requital we suspect they will
not condescend to fuse upon Fuller on any
terms. We are therefore in expectation Of
some extraordinary diversion, one way or the
other, in the House to-day, and Of some deci-
sive Tesult-possibly decisive defeat Of the
tusionists in their own game. But the fusion
lists have got the plurality card in reserve.
Let us wait the result Of last nights pipe

and sigh for spring Yet 1t appears that on the
hole, the winter and fall are the most healthy
and spring the most fatal seasons for them.
The figures are

Cholera, as every one knows, confines its
rayages to the summer: out of its 81 500 VIC
tins, 1928 died in that season. Dyspeptic
patients Ito use the word in the conn non, and
not the scientific sense,) generally die in au-
tumn and summer, but especially Ia autumn;
in winter they appear comparatively safe.
Like consumptive persons, old people, ia the
second childhood, should fear the spring: it is
the fatal season for them.
1t is not easy to get at the occupations of
the persons who died, in order to compare the
various calliDgs in point Of healthiness. This
result can only be obtained when our statistics
are far more complete. Thus we find, accord
ing to the table, that more persons died, pro-
portionste]y, among those engaged in agricul-
ture than among those engaged in trade and
mechanical arts, which, Of course, is an absur-
dity. The error arises from the farmers tell
ing the truth about their dead, while the city
folk concealed theirs. The only fact stated in
the table that is worth noticing is the vast
disproportiOn between the deaths Of old age in
the city and the country, the former being
hardly one fourth of the latter.
In comparing the mortality in the various
States we find that New York, with population
of over 100000, registered $4,000 deaths in a
year, being at the rate of LIS per cent, which
may be assumed as the mortality of the whole
Union. In Massachusetts, the mortality nearly
reaches 2 per cent Of the population. Ohio is
even healthier than New York, the mortality
being only Ia per cent; in Illinois it is the
same; in Indiana only IL per cent. In the
South the mortality is about the same. The
per centage in Louisiana is 2.3; but that Of
South Carolina and Mississippi is only IL; and
Alabama, Florida and Georgia are set down
enormously, no d0ubt-at IL. The real NOR
tality is obviously much larger two per cent
would probably be a fair estimate for the
whole territory south of the South Carolina
line: and something like l5 for the North
western States
