were made, and toasts responded to.
The Mayor, General Macauley,
opened the entertainment with an
appropriate introduction, not unduly
clarifying the city or it's enterprising
inhabitants, and exhibited great tact
and skill in che chair.
From the tone adopted by the diff
ferent speakers, it was abundantly
obvious that the lights of three cities,
Indianapolis, Louisville and 81.
Louis, were not to be allowed to be
hid under a bushel, or any quantity
of such measures; and with the in
Vulnerable and undssdildble proofs
and arguments adduced, no mi could
entertain any lingering feeling that
those were the three cities Of the
world, but it was left an open ques-
ton which of them should stand A
No. ! and the metropolis Of the
world, including the adjoining plan
cts, with their and our satellites.
The speeches were an admirable COM
pound of instruction and fun, facts
and fiction, and were received with
deserved applause by the assembled
natives.
Three hours on Friday were most
agreeably occupied by drives through
all sections Of the city, inspecting the
Deaf and Dumb Asylum, the Arsenal
grounds, and numerous glass, wood,
carriage, iron and steel works, under
the guidance Of one citizen to each
carriage. The city is improving with
great rapidity, and Of its churches and
many of its stores, residences and
factories, has just reason to be proud
and rejoice thereat.

The recent strike IN the Cincinnati
Commercial Office bids fair to result
as do the great majority of such
movements, when the proprietors are
firm and consistent. The cause Of
the difficulty seems to have been
similar to that which was made the
p~relense for a strike in the two Offices
in this city, a few weeks ago. The
oompositorS proposed to take charge
Of the business Of the Office, and not
only fix prices, but declare how mat
ter should be measured, leaving to
the proprietors only the blissful priv
lege of paying the weekly bills, when
presented. This, Of course, the pro-
p%rietofs Of the Commercial could not
agree to hence the strike.
The result Of the strike is to annoy,
for a week or SO, the prOprietors Of
the paper, by the arrangement of
their business, on the n hand; but
on. the other, to throw men with fam
lilies depending upon their daily labor,
out Of permanent employment, and

OCCUPATION AND LEE.-The Underwater
says: ''Dr. William Farr, Register General Of
England, has made careful observations on the
effect of occupation on health among twelve
classes of persons, with the following results :"
Between the ages of As and SIS the proper
ton of deaths out of every 1000 lives was found
to be: Farmers, %; shoemakers, 10; weavers,
,l5; grocers, l6; blacksmiths, II; carpenters II;
tailors, II; iaborers, II; miners, 20; bakers, 2l
butchers, %; innkeepers and beer dealers, %.
Although these observations were made In
England, 1t Is reasonable to suppose that the
same investigations would lead to results in
this country sufficiently near the above to
show what classes of lives are in the main
best suited for insurance. 1t will be perceived
that the mortality is lightest among farmers
and greatest among innkeepers and beer deal
ers. This can readily be accounted for by the
different mode Of life, occupation, food, DC, OF
these classes The farmer has all the advanta-
ges on his side-the pure air, the varied char
acter of his life-giving occupation. his whole
some, temperate diet, and his removal from
the influence Of the temptations to Indulgence
in designations to which the dweller in our
cowded cities Es exposed. Again, he is freed
from the disturbance and uneasiness of mind
to which those in trade are periodically sub
iected, and no season Is so bad as to render
