HUMAN DEFICIT IN AUsTRIA-The Vienna Van
derer, under the above startling title, presents some
curious statistics in reference to the population of
Austria. In every 10000 inhabitants 1853 deaths
occur in Austria and Hungary, 25s in France 300 in
Prussia, $50 in Holland 22O in Great Britain and Ire
land 222 in Belgium, and 36l in Spain. Thus Austria
outranks immoral France and almost equals demora-
lied Spain, in the rate of mortality With respect to
education for every 10000 inhabitants the number Of
scholars at the elementary schools is in Austria and
Hungary $50, in France 116O in Prussia 1920, in Ho-
land $780, in Great Britain and Ireland 11OO In Bel
gium 114O in Spain 70O 1t thus appears that the two
countries having the highest rate of mortality have
the lowest proportion OF scholars. In regard to the
number OF births, Hubner shows that for every
10000 inhabitants there sO3 births in Austria and
Hungary 269 in France, 404 in Prussia, 35 in Holland
$40 in Great Britain and Ireland, 800 in Belgium and
q 400 in Spain. II we consider the increase of the
population by the excess Of births over deaths we
find that it averages for every 10000 inhabitants 30
in Austria and Hungary, 81 in France, ia in Prus-
sa, 92 In Holland, 129 in Great Britain and
ireland, IS III Belgium, and 81 in Spain, close
comparison OF these figures shows that for every
10000 inhabitants Austria has an increase of O. less
than Prussia 10 less than England, AZ less than HoI
land, ana Is less than Belgium. This is an import
ant loss both in material and intellectual respects n
physical deficit which arises from an eXtTayaVant
expenditure OF lie consequent mainly upon the
dratis made by immense standing armies upon the
vitality ana stamina OF thefcountry.

PRESIDENT JUAREz, in his recent address to
the Mexican Congress, on the occasion of
it's reassembling on the anniversary of indie
pendence, congratulated the members that
they could then, for the first time in the his
tory of the republic, celebrate the national
anniversary in the midst of universal peace,
a general obedience to the laws, and ability
on the part of the Government to repress re-
bellion and disorder as fast as they arose.
This is, indeed, an occasion for rejoicing, and
it is to be hoped that Mexico has been at last
emancipated from chronic anarchy.

THE CASE OF SURGEON GREEN.

The court-martial of Passed Assistant Sur
steamer Nipsic, for disobeying the orders of
his superior officer, has attracted much atten-
tion, not only in naval circles but throughout
the country. The principle involved in this
case is one of great Importance to the welfare
of the naval service, and it ought to receive
full and candid consideration at the hands of
those who are interested in promoting the
efficiency and dignity of the naval service.
The offense of Surgeon Green consisted in
disobeying the orders of Lieutenant Com
mander Thomas o. Selfridge, the command
ing officer of the Nipsic, who ordered him to
take from the sick list an enlisted man, who
in the opinion of the surgeon was not in a fit
condition to go on duty. Surgeon Green con-
sequently declined to obey the order, when he
was placed under arrest by Lieut.. Commander
Selfridge, who ordered the man to go on duty
in spite of the surgeons protest. The court
martial which tried the case found Surgeon
Green guilty on the first two counts of the
charge preferred against him-namely, treat
ing with contempt his superior officer while
in the execution of his Office, in dissenting
list, and disobeying a lawful order in thus re-
fusing obedience, and sentenced him to be
suspended from rank ON furlough pay for the
term of two years, and to be publicly repri-
manded by the Secretary of the Navy, the
order of 'reprimand to be read to the officers
and men of each naval station and vessel in
commission. On the third charge, of conduct
unbecoming an officer and gentleman, in
being intoxicated, Mr.. Green was. acquitted.
The Secretary of the Navy practically ac-
knowledged the injustice of this sentence by
remitting the sentence of suspension from
rank and pay and in making his order stat
ing the facts of the case sufficient repri
mand.
We understand from reliable source that
it was given in evidence before the court
martial that the seaman in question was il
reality not in fit condition for duty, and thai
after the surgeon was placed under arrest, he
was practically excused from duty by the
executive officer, who merely required him tC
report at muster in order to make show OF
obedience to the order of the commanding
officer. There are few persons outside of the
pavy who you'd find any difficulty in deciding

THE RUSH BEG UBST TO THE PHILA-
DELPHLA LIBRARY.

TIE report of the committee of the Philadel-
phia Library appointed at a meeting of the
stockholders to consider the bequest of the
late DR.. james Rush, is published in another
portion OF the present issue of The TELE-
GRAPH. II will be seen that it recommends
the acceptance of the legacy, and as we
also give place to a communication warmly
urging its rejection, both sides of the contro-
versy are we'll presented in these publications.
The proposition of the committee that $50
much of the present collection of books and
other property of the company as may by the
directors be deemed expedient shall be re-
tanned in the present or some other central
position for general use and circulation, "
effectually disposes, however, of the princl-
pal difficulty involved in the acceptance of
the bequest.
Making all due allowance for the burthen-
some conditions annexed to the will, they
are still insufficient to justify the rejection
of the grandest gift to literature ever made in
this country, if the convenience of the stock
holders in obtaining the books which enter
into general circulation is not seriously inter-
fered with, as it would not be under the pro-
posed arrangement. The man who contri-
butes million of dollars to the purchase of
q site, the erection of a magnificent library
building, and the creation of a fund
from which, few years hence,
three or four times as much an
nual income as the present annual reve-
nues of the Philadelphia Library will be de-
rived, may well be pardoned for requiring
that his mortal remains shall repose beneath
the monument he wishes to raise, for desiring
the publication of his own works, and even
for an attack upon the newspapers Eccentric
as he was, his eccentricities did not prevent
him from performing good and noble action,
which is only too rarely initiated. His desire
that family name should be honored and
perpetuated is common to nearly all the
men who make large donations
to charitable or literary purposes
and in respecting it the stockholders will do
no more than the orphans of Girard College,
the habitues of the Astor Library, the fire.
quenters of the Smithsonian Institute, the
scholars of the Cornell University, or the
benefciaries of a hundred kindred institutions.
With all the faults of the proposed site, it is on
the proper thorough ghfare-Broad street; and
a generation hence, when that magnificent
avenue is adorned with splendid structures
throughout its entire length, it will be matter
of little importance that the building is ''too
far down town" With facilities for the sup
ply of the ordinary wants of the stockholders
at the present or some other convenient and
central location, and with grand building
on the leading avenue where choice treasures
can be safely stored and displayed to the best
advantage, provision will be made for the
permanent establishment of one of the finest
libraries in the world

A Model M. D.

I had Just finished my supper,
and was enjoying my cigar on the
deck, when l heard a man declaim-
ing, in loud voice, TO two or three
attentive listeners (but evidently
intended for "whoever it might con-
cern" at the same time) on pattole-
an. Being, as it were, thus ihYit-
ed, I.also became listener to some
thing like the following:
"There it is now! Well, some
people talk about seated fegers.
[ don't know anything about seat
ed fevers; there amt no sich
thing as seated fever. A 'sketer
bite is a seated fever. Cure the
bite and the fever quits you quick
enough. Jes' so with bile-the
same thing. There amt no sich
thing, I tell ye, as a seated fever.
Fact is, and you can't rub it out,
your regular doctor practices ac-
cording to books; now I practice
accordin' to common-sense. Take
a case now: there was DIR. Rugg,
of our village, the very Samson Of
Materier Mediker. Wa'al, he
treats fevers accordin to the books.

and says he to me, says he, How
is it that you git all the fever ca
ses ? l told him exactly how it was
and it is so.''
"Well, DOCTOR" interrupted one
of the listeners, show do you treat
fevers?
"Well; there it is, you seel You
ask me how I treat fevers. If
you'd ha' asked me when 1 first
commenced practizing, 1 could ha'
told you---can't tell you now. 1

Sands Of Gold.

The disciples found angels at the
grave Of him they loved, and We
should find them too, but that oul
eyes are toofull oftears for seeing.
Modesty is the natural child and
heir of innocence. Nor can there
be a sacrifice of the one without
making a breach in the other.
We account the scriptures of God
to be the most sublime philosophy
The sum of Christian morality is
give and forgive, bear and for
bear.
Men are never placed in such
extremes, but there. is a right to
guide them.
Want less than you have, and
you will always have more than you
want.
The most laudable ambition is to
be wise; the greatest wisdom to be
good.
Intellectual gifts are like gifts Of
strength. for wealth, or rank, OF
worldly power, splendid instruments
if nobly used, but requiring quail
ties to use them nobler and better
than themselves.
Value no man for his opinion,
but esteem him according as his
life corresponds with the rules OF
piety and justice. A mans actions,
not his conceptions, render him
valuable.
No man or woman is fully educa-
ted if not accustomed to manual Ia
Dor. Whatever accomplishments
they possess, whatever their men
tai training, deduction must be
made for ignorance of that import
ant branch.
