Chances or Life.

An old document contains some interesting
information unknown to many, and rarely
encountered in the papers Among other
things it contains table exhibiting an aver
age age attained by persons employed in the
various popular professions of the day In
this particular as in most others, the farmers
have advantage over the rest of mankind, as
their average is sixty-fve. Next upon the
docket come the judges and justices Of peace,
the dignity of whose lives is heightened to
sixty-four. Following then, Immediately in
the category of longevity, is the bank officer
who sums up his account at the age of sixty
four. Public officers cling to their existence
with as much pertinacity as they retain their
offces-they never resign their offices but life
forsakes them at 6fty-siy. Coopers, although
they seem to stave through life, hang on I'M
til they are ffty-eight. The good work of
the cergymen follow them at ffty-fve
Shipwrights, hatters and lawyers, and rope
makers lsome very appropriately go together
at the age of ffty-four.
The Village Blacksmith" like most of
his contemporaries dies at fifty-one. Butch
ers follow their bloody career for precisely
half century. Carpenters are brought to
the scaffold at forty-nne. Masons realize
their cry of Mort !" at the age of forty-sev-
en.-Traders cease their speculatons at for
ty-six. Jewellers are disguised with the tin
sci of life at forty-four. Bakers, manufactu-
rers, and various mechanics die at forty three
The painters yield to their collie at forty-two
The brittle thread of the taior's life is broken
at forty-one. Editors, like all other beings
who come under the special admiration of the
gods, die comparatively young-they accom-
phsh their errand of mercy at forty. The must
clan redeems his last note and plays his dy-
ing fall at thirty-nine. The professional
dancer shuff1es off his mortal coil at thir-
ty-nine. Printers become dead matter at
thirty-eight The machinist is usually
blown up at thirty-six, The teachers usual
ly dismiss their scholars ar the age of thirty
four, and the clerk is even shorter lived, for
he must needs prepare his balance sheet at
thirty-three, No account is given of the av-
erase longevity of wealthy unc!es
The inference is fair, therefore, they are
immortal,

SUBSCRIPTION TERMS.
Paper Monopoly.
New York Herald

The high price of paper, next to the high
price of bread, is perhaps the burden most
felt by our community. An American can
Just as well go without meal as without his
newspaper Whatever tends to increase its
cost and put it beyond his reach will there
fore always be a subject of indignation with
him. In our long experience of journalism
we have never known any grievance which
has more enlisted popular sympathy or which
continues to furnish topic OF such earnest
remonstrance.
There is nothing to Justify the exorbitant
prices maintained by the American manufac-
turers. The rise in the price of rags has been
seized upon as the pretext for them. Making
all due allowance for this, it does not afford
any reasonable ground for the rates charged.
Even if the manufacturers had no other stock
to work upon than rags they are out OF all
proportion. But when it is known that In
the sedges, reeds and coarse grass, covering
thousands of acres in the immediate vicinity
of New York, there is to be found most ex-
cellent paper stock which can be made ready
for use within forty-eight hours, at the
small cost of three cents pound, the prices
exacted become still more inexcusable.
We have seen specimens of this stock made
simply by the use of pestle and mortar, and
can pronounce it as good as any thatwe have
examined Let us add that still further
economy is effected in its use by the fact that
before the manufacturer can turn bis rags into
paper they undergo loss Of at least thirty
five per cent. or one third, in the process of
conversion This makes the cost of his stock
fifteen cents per pound, or equal to five
times the cost of the material to which we
refer
The American manufacturers will not even
experiment. with this or other substitutes for
the stock which they use, because they are too
well satisfied with the profits that they are
making to hazard their introduction. The
effect Of this selfish and narrow minded policy
is beginning to manifest itself in the intro
duction OF Belgian and other foreign papers.
There can be no greater proof at once Of the
blindness Of our paper makers and Of the fol-
ly of the protective system than the fact that,
in spite of the high duties charged on it, for
eign paper is competing successfully with
the domestic article. Most of the book pub
fishers and several of the leading newspapers
are now beginning to use 1t. Unless, there
FORE material reduction in price is made by
the American manufacturers, it is clear that
they will soon be driven out of their own
market
