AVERAGE DURATION OF IIunAs LIFE.

AVERAGE DURATION OF HUMAN IIrE.-
Prof. Buchanan, in a recent lectur. before
the Mechanics Institute ut Cincinnati, said
that in the latter rart Of the sixteenth cen
tury one half of all who were born died un
der five years of aye; the average longevity
Of The whole population was but 10 years.
In the seventeenth century one half of the
population died under 70 years. But in the
first sixty wears of tie eighteenth century
one half Of The population lived over 81
years. IN the latter forty years one half ex-
ceedcd 80 years of age. At the beginning
of the present century one half exceeded 40
years; and from 1888, to lsl5 one half ex
ceeded "A. The average longevity ut these
successive periods has been increased from
Is years in the sixteenth century up to AZ
by the last reports.

times during the present week, and we are
consequently without any thing very late OF
important from abroad. These frequent de-
tsntions and failures are Of great annoyance,
but ar there is no remedy within our reach,
we shall endeavor to bear them with rs lit
tie murmurng rs possible, until the new ad.
Intimidation is inaugurated, when, as we have
been promised BY Mr. Buchanan, a clean
shucking will be made of the present Off
cials, and better and more attentive men ap-
painted to their places. We speak Of those
who have the control and management Of
the business Of the department, and whose
duty it Is to see that that business Is con.
ductrd so rs 10 subserve the public interest,
instead Of individual convenience. We make
no reflection upon the postmnsters Of the
intcrior--so far rs We have had an opportu.
nifty to observe they generally discharge
their duty satisfactorily; but there rs most
rascally mismanagement in the mails some.
where. and thedepartment has agents enough
wh"sr duty it 10 TO look after and locate
such things. Why don't ttey do il!

The Ss=EIcIios OF The WALL STREET
FoRoER.-It was stated under our lelegraphic
mead yesterday that Charles F. Huntington,
the Wall street forger in New York, had been
convicted and sentenced 10 the State prison
for four years and ten months-the highest
punishment allowed by law. The jury were
out over four hours, and when they came in
the prisoner, It is stated, listened to the an
nouncement Of the verdict without the slight
est perceptible emotion. His counsel en-
deavored to have the sentence postponed, but
the court refused to grant :he request
Judge CaPron, in passing sentence, alluded
to Huntington's position in society. and said
that could weigh nothing in mitigation Of the
penalty; indeed, the circumstances of high
birth, good moral and intellectual training,
rather increased than diminished the crimi.
nality Of the act, rs one thus reared and re-
strained by the influence of correct associa-
tons had less inducement TO do wrong. And
when crime was committed under these cir
cumstances It only evinced greater depravity
in the offender. He should, therefore, in
passing sentence on the prisoner, inflict upon
him the full penalty of the law, which at thi,
season of the year was four years and ten
months imprisonment at hard labor 10 the
State prison.

"I'LL CALL AROUND AND PAY."-What q
world of woe is contained in these few words
to the poor artizan and mechanic! "III call
around and pay" says the rich man, to avoid
the trouble Of going to his desk to get the
necessary funds, and the poor mechanic is
obliged to 60 home to disappoin: his workman
and all who depend upon him for their DUE
1t is IN easy matter to work; the only real
glory in this life is m independent idea Of
being able to sustain yourself by the labor
of your own hands, and it may be easily i'm
agined what crushing force there is in an
call round and pay" to the lnboring man,
who depends upon that pay for subsistence
If those who could pay would only pay at
once, it would place hundreds and thousands
in condition to pay ike~Ise, and would pre-.
vent much misery and distress.

The New York Herald learns tha. Gen
Duff Green is preparing book under the ii.
tie of "Recollections of Washington Poll.
tician who was thirty years out of the Sen.
ate" The intention is to make head against
Col. Benton's work of Thirty years in the
Senate. The Herald says:
As the title partially implies, this "thirty
years" Of Gen Duff Green's political exper.
fence will be historical REPUTATION of the
"thirty years" of Col. Thomas II. Benton
including the great men, the small men, the
great political events, questions and parties,
and caucuses, and interviews, and plots, and
counter plots, and what not, of Benlon's two
ponderous volumes of selfcenceit and per.
sonal bitterness against Calhoun. Gen.
Green's thirty years Of personal observation
at Washington will thus come into coils.
ion at every nsssilable point with Benton's
"thirty years."

source, that Mr.. Webster, an Englishman,

cut to Punta Arenas via the Is,hmus, little
while since, was authorised by Commodore
Vanderbilt to negotiate loan in favor of
Costa Rica of $500, 900 the funds to be used
in exterminnting Walker from Nicaragua,
after which the Commodore is to have the
right Of transit over the old Nicaragua route.
The Journal however does not vouch for the
truth of the story.

IMPORTANT TO LANDLORDS AND TENANTS.
in one ofthe ward courts in New York,
last week, a suit was brought for a years
rent ola house, which the tenant had abdi.
Gated ut the end Of one quarter rendering the
proposition Of rent for that period, which
the landlord refused to accept, and appealed in
due time to the law. The tenant proved
that the house was so infested with rats,
mice, and other small vermin, that it was
uninhabitHble If habitation implies comfort.
The Jury awarded the landlord only the
rent of the quarter during which the tenant
endured the nuisance.
