SIZING DOWN THE AGE OF MAN AND

The man that dies youngest, as might be
expected, perhaps, is the railway brakesman
His average are is only q. Yet this must
be taken with some allowance, from the fact
employed in the capacity AT the same age
dies the factory woFkwonan, through the
combined influence OF confined air, sedenta,y
posture, scant wages, and unremitting toll
Then comes the railway baggage man, who
is smashed on an average at 80. Millners
and dress makers live but little longer. The
| average of the one is 80, and the other 80 -
The engineer, the fireman, the conductor,
the powder maker, the we'll digger, and fac
tory operative, all of whom are exposed to
sudden and violent deaths, die on an average
under the age of 35. The cutler, the dyer,
the leather dresser, the apothecary, the con
fectoner, the Gig ar maker, the printer, the
silver smith, the painter, the shoe-cutter,
the engraVer, and the Inachinest, all of whom
lead confined lives in an unwholsome atmos-
phere, do not reach the average age of no.
The musician blows his breath all out of his
body at 40. Then comes the trades that are
active or in pure ai7. The baker lives to an
average age Of 43, the butcher to 40, the
brick maker to Al, The carpenter to 40, the
furnace man to 42, the mason to 48, the
stone cutter to 43, the tanner to 40, the tin

Why should the barber live till so, if not to
show the virtue there is IN personal neatness
and soap and water? Those who average
over half century among mechanics are

The Mission OF WAR.-A distinguished
historian has truly said that philosophers
may dream 0: peace. but war Is the history of
man" Tnere comes a time in the history of
a people when they would suffocate in the
stencil Of their own corruption, and unless
saved by war-bloody, vigorous war-there
IS no help for theR This treatment purifies,
hardens and ennobles them. The manly vir
ues Of coursge and honor come to be in de-
mand, are cultivated and rewarded. Then
the honor and the leadership Of the State, in.
stead OF being covertly won by the glib parrrr
OF elegant phrases, or the subtitle and vulgar
manipulator Of the primbries are freely given

WALKING OVER THE SoUTH.-The New
York Commercial says: "What we want is
an army, not to be promenading all ever the
Rebel States but to walk over the identical
patch held by Lees army Our armies may
overcome the Rebel territory from Dan ton
Beersheba and makes all sorts of marches
unparalleled IN history, but SO long as Lees
army occupies the patch to which has been
So long rooted, these extensive expeditions
OF pedestrianism will tend only to slow ex-

with the coup that dispossesses the army of

E The singular epithets of 'bulls," +"
and ''be ars," were first applied to stock spec
uIators, on the London Exchange, about 1884
When two parties contract, one to deliver
and the other to take stocks on future day
at a specified price, it is the interest of the
delivering party in the intervening period, to
depress stocks, and of the receiving party to
raise them. The former is styled bear, IN
allusion to the habit of that animal to pull
things down with his paws, and the latter a
bull, from the custom of that animal to throw
up an object with his horns.
