In view of the violent and threatening
character of the letters of Mansfield Tracy
Walworth to his wife and son, several of our
exchanges have expressed the opinion that the
son will not be convicted of murderin the first
degree as the average jury will have member
or two who will see in the shooting OF the I'M
natural father by the frenzied son, an act of
self-defense. The Providence journal speak
ing of the features presented by the testimo-
ny, very aptly says:
And now we see the difficulties surround
ing the administration of Justice in cases
where hanging is the penalty of murder-and
where extraneous circumstances affect the
popular mind in favor the prisoner. If in
New York, to-day, the penalty in this case, if
proven, were Imprisonment for life, there
would not be the slightest question in any
bodys mind as to conviction. But large
number Of persons will regret to see young
Walworth hung. The first issue is between
law and sympathy. Nobody seems to have
cared much about or for the father. And it
does not seem that he was very loveab'e
person; but it would be very dangerous doc
trine for some of us, if any to whom we are
disagreeable might shoot us at sight. We
cannot afford, on grounds of public policy, to
admit any such right. The depopulation en-
suiug would toe seriously affect the labor mar

THE Boston Advertiser does not believe
that Gen. Butler will receive the Repr blican
nomination for Governor in Massachusetts.
1t thinks that the fact that the
the Republican press of the State,
with two or three exceptions, treated
Gen. Buffers Revere House announcement of
his candidature as an absurdity or declared
unutterable opposition to him. an indication
of the general feeling Of the party to him. 1t
admits that certain federal Office holders who
owe their positions, as they think, to him
will plan for his success but concludes thai
the s'canvass this year will not be run by fed
eral ofice-holders. ""The moment it is known
it says, THAT they are using their official posi-
tions to advance the political fortunes of any
man, against the free choice OF the people of
the Commonwealth, we believe there is virtue
enough in the State to raise a storm about
their heads like that which broke upon the
astonished ring in New York city two years
ago. Our confidence in happy issue out Of
the canvass is based upon this belief, and is
strengthened by assurances received from all
parts of the State, that its good name and
credit must be kept exalted and pure. This
can only be done by lifting up the standard o f
public character and maintaining it at every
cost"

Hon. WILLIAM WHrTING.-The death of
Hon. William Whiting at his residence in Bos-
ton Highlands was very sudden. He was
thought to be out of danger and was sitting in
an arm chair when he was seized with sharp
pains and soon expired. Mr.. Whiting was
sixty years of age in March last, having been
born in Concord, Massachusetts, in March,
1878. He went to Boston and entered Harvard
College, graduating in the class of 1888. He then
continued his studies at the Harvard Law
School and in the office of Harrison Loring,
Esq, and was in due course admitted to the
Suffolk bar, at which he continued to practice
until the time of his death.
In the fall of 1852 Mr.. Whiting was appoint
ed by President Lincoln to fill the office of So
lcitor of the War Department, an office which
was created expressly for him, a circumstance
evincing at once the confidence which was re-
posed in his integrity and patriotism, and the
esteem in which his attainments in his pro-
fession were held He continued to discharge
the duties of his office which, always arduous,
and frequently demanding the most careful
and persistent effort, impaired his health and
induced severe attack of illness, lasting for
several weeks. After the assassination of
President Lincoln in April 1865, he resigned his
position, which has been since discontinued.

DEATH OF ONE OF FRYEBURG's HoNoREp
TowNsMEN.-Mr Asa CHARLES, an old and
highly esteemed citizen of Fryeburg, died yes
terday morning at seven o'clock Mr.. Charles
was almost seventy SIX years old, and for at
least one quarter of a century has held differ
ent town offices, being once member of the
State Legislature, and at the time of his death
was holding the position of Register of Deeds
for Western Oxford for the thirteenth year. He
possessed remarkably clear and well balanced
mind, finely disciplined. In debate he was
original and forcible. Although so long known
to us in this locality, and so far advanced in
years, he was so full of vigor until within
few months, that he seemed still young. He
fulfilled every trust With an honesty of purpose
that well might be emulated,i and has left a
name that will always be remembered and
honored. His last days were full of Christian
fortitude, and his last hours were those of one
whose faith in his God takes away the sting of

SOmbre Statistics.

An exchange has taken upon itself the task
of proving that as a nation we are pursuing
those courses that will end in our becoming
chronic dyspeptics. 1t does not find the fact
established by the death record in the census,
for in 1870 there were only S41 deaths from
dyspepsia in total mortality of 1872, 163,
against S31 from that cause in total of 1884,
156 in 1860. In another place, however, it
finds that the deaths from diseases of the di-
gestive organs in 1870 were 1890, against
1855 in 1860 and 1888 in 1850. One
third of these totals would give for the re-
spective periods 27,999 in 1870, Is, 1862 in 1860
and 10, 227 in 1850, showing that dyspeptic
maladies are neatly 100 per cent. more nu-
uerous than they were ten years ago, while
the population has only grown % per cent.
AS surely as the grains of tree indicate its
age, so the statistics of a nations consump-
ton indicate the habits of the people and
their tendency. For instance, the fact that
the cost of patent medicines, mostly panaceas
for stomachic ills, consumed in this country
rose from 3d. 465, 1914 in 1860 to $40. 267, 720 in
1870 is taken as an indication of our national
tendency toward dyspepsia; and if it in-
dicates anything shows that the disease has
increased 200 per cent. The consumption of
that omnipresent product Of the Yankee cul-
mary ingenuity is made the scape-goat of
those terrible pangs of dyspepsia. 1t is shown
by the statistics of baking. The products
of the bakery in 1870 amount 36,907, 704,
against SIC, 9SO,O12 in 1860. Now add the per
cent, which represents the increase popula-
ton in that decade and consequently should
represent the ratio of the increase of the con-
sumption of bread, and SO per cent. for the
increase of values which is constant fac
tor, to that of 1850, and we have $29,205,-
oS3, leaving an excess of 81, 702, S3 which, it is
claimed,m means pies and doughnuts, principally
the former, which represents an annual con-
sumption of fifty millions of that mysterious
compound of indigestibles sufficient to give
dyspepsia to whole nation. To make the
case stronger, it may be added that our con
fectionery bills in 1870 were $15,922, 643,
against S., 1851, 100 in 1860. If we consult the
statistics of beverages the fact is also appar-
ent that the average American citizen while
he may be patriotically intent on swelling the
revenue of the government by imbbing vii
famous liquors, is fast making himself dys-
peptic. In fact all the figures of the census
that apply to the food, drink and medicine of
the nation Indicate that we are fast footing
the downward road to chronic Dyspepsia
But then it must be remembered that the
census of 1870 was taken with far greater
care than in previous yea S.

SOME highly interesting facts in relation to

SOME highly interesting facts in relation to
the cholera epidemic at Nashville are given
by correspondent Of the Louisville papers.
1t appears that there is a spring on the out
skirts of the city which the deposit of 200
cart loads Of filth in its immediate vicinity
had tainted. Persons who drank of this wa
ter were taken with complaint that ripened
into something like cholera. The first cases
occurred among people who lived close to the
spring and supplied their wants from it. Not
far from this is large brewery, which daily
gives off a disgusting stream of refuse matter
conducted in open bitches through portion
of Nashville These bitches in turn empty
into sewers in bad repair, through which the
noxious vapors of the liquid filth escape and
poison the air. Nearly every case of cholera
has been near the spring or on the line of this
sewer
