A GENTLEMAN while walking in Atlantic

A GENTLEMAN while walking in Atlantic
avenue, Brooklyn, on Saturday evening, was
jostled by stranger, and after proceeding
few yards felt in his pocket in vain for his
watch. He fastened back, overlook the
thief, and pointing his revolver sternly de-
manded. "Give me that watch" The
stranger surrendered it without word and
hurried away. On reaching home the gen.
tleman was startled in the middle of his
narrative of his desperate encounter with
highwayman by an interruption from his
wife. "Why, John, you left your watch on
the bureau this morning, and have been
wearing it all day."

THEDEATH.RATE.

An examination of the life statistics of
the census of this country and of Europe

number Of deaths in Europe every year is
out of every AZ inhabitants, or 2.3S-100 per
cent, nearly double the average death-rate
in the United States, which is only l for
every 81 inhabitants, or 1.23-100 per cent.
The leading countries of Europe present the
following annual bills of mortality:

THE religious agitation in Germany has
made itself felt in political circles to such
an extent that at length Bismarck has ven
tured to attack the Church of Rome in one
of its most strongly intrenched
positions. His recent declaration of
Polish schools is the most i'm
portant and decisive step yet taken toward
the displacement of ecclesiastical authority,
and it is hardly to be supposed that would
have been made without the assurance Of
support from reformers within the church,
as well as of the entire consent of his col
leagues. The Polish schools have, up to
this time, been exclusively under the man
agement of the Roman Church: but by this
mandate Bismack Gusts the clergy and
hands the educational system Of that portion
of the Empire over to the jurisdiction which
prevails throughout the rest Of Prussia.

change In local elections in Wheeling.
II the netarious bill should be pettifoS-
ged through, hereafter we shall only elect
Councilmen, and the Councilmen 90 elect.
ed, will elect all other city officers, from
Mayor down. II will thus be seen that h
is an attempt to wrest from the people The
right to select men Of their choice for CITY
officials. The Council will be Q mere
packed body in the interest of offlce.See
ers, and our city interests will possibly be
worse managed than they are by the pres
ent Council.
The only fear now among those moving
In this gag scheme Is, that probably a
sufficient number Of Democrats Vould
become so lncensed at the outrage that
they would no longer affiliate with the
party, and thus insure the election Of a
Republican City Council. Then, as in
the recent movement by the State "Ring,"
the wicked Vaccinations of unscrupulous
men would fall upon their own heads.
