MATRIMONIAL STATIsTICs.-Some curl
Gus facts are to be CLEANED from the mar
riage statistics oI various countries, as is
shown by q recent article in Lippincotrs
Magazine. 1t is found that young men
from fifteen to twenty years Of age marry
young women averaging two or three
yeas older than themselves; but If they
delay marriage until they are twenty to
twenty-five years old, their spouses aver
ago q year younger than themselves; and
thencetorward this difference steady in.
creases, till in extreme old age on the
bridegroom's part it is apt to be enor-
nous. The inclination of octogenarians
to wed misses in their teens Is an every.
day occurrence, but 1t is amusing to find
in tho love matches of boys that the
statistics bear out the satircs ofThackeray
and Balzac. Again, the husband ot young
women aged twenty and under average
a little above twenty-five years, and the
inequality Of age dimlnishes thenceior.
ward, till for women who have reached
thirty the respective ages are equal; after
thirty.flve years, women, like man, marry
those younger than themselves, the dis
proportion increasing with age, till at
ffty.fve itaveragcs nine years.

THERE is something startling in the
rapidity with which prominent public
men are dying. The year is still young,
but it has already witnessed the deaths
OF many prominent men on both conti-
nents, Of whom we call to mind at this
moment Napoleon III, Bulwer, Baron,
Liebig, end Baptist Noel in Europe, and
in this country Joshua Leavitt, Com
modore Maury, Governor Geary, Sena,
tor Dixon, General Candy, Jamo
Brooks, Minister Orr, Chief Justice
Chase, Captain Hall and Oakes Ames,
This is of course only small portion of
the record Of eminent men deceased. 1t
will be one of the remarkable coinci-
dence of history that the same month
should witness the funerals of both
Ames and Brooks, the two victims of
Congressional censuIe. John Stuart
Mill, the most eminent of the British es-
say,sts and writers on political economy,
is loss which may well be mourned by
the civilized world. He was a man OF
spotless character, looking ever to the
right as his rule of action. But the
great, as we'll as the humble must die
