Death in New York City.

Buried amid the dry and apparently
uninteresting arithmetical details Of
the Bureau of Vital Statistics, says
New York journal, lie sundry facts of
very startling significance, which are
too generally disregarded by the easy
going New Yorker, who prefers to think
only of the surface indications of COM
mercial and social prosperity in his IA
vored metropolis, leaving the unple as
ant substrata of disease and death to
the officials whom he pays to look after
them. The first and most obvious of
these facts is that, despite the natural
advantages enjoyed by New York, its
last years death-rate Calculated ON the
basis of the census of 1870 was 34.64
per ], 1000 of population, a considerably
larger permillage than is found in any
save the most VIGOROUSLY unhealthy
cities of the Old World; the second,
that nearly $1,000 deaths occurred from
easily preventible diseases. When half
dozen lives are lost by the fall of a
burning building, or half a score by the
explosion of boiler, we loudly insist
that they whose negligence has indi-
rectly led to the mischance should be
called to account; but we are apt to
overlook the more direct responsibility
which must attach somewhere for these
thousands of victims slain every year.
