attain still greater prosperity than that which
has been so gratifying to US.

Magazine now so well known. The present
Editor retains his position, and will, as hereto
fore, use every exertion to make the Southern

THE ECONOMY OF HEALTH-Only those who
have investigated the subject can be aware of
the enormous waste caused by sickness and I'M

system, the people of the United States would
save annually more than one thousand millions
of dollars. Does this statement seem extrava-

considerations however, is that of a sound
mind in a sound body. Health reform is the
base of all reform.

THE BRIDGE HORROR.
Nearly "a Hundred Persons Killed


DIXON, Ill, May 4-midnight-No other bod
les of the victims of the bridge disaster were
recovered up to the present hour, but several
bodies were picked up at Stirling, six miles be-
low, and doubtless the swift current has borne
others down the stream. The general estimate
of the loss is from ninety to one hundred. Five
bodies aoated past the men at work at the
wreck and have not been found. 1t is supposed
Most of them are supposed to be under the
wreck of the bridge. The bridge was of iron,
Truesdall pattern, and of five spans, elevated
about 145 feet above the river, which is from Is
to 25 feet deep Only the two end spans fell.
The three middle spans are standing but in
such condition that it is thought they will fall
when the wrecked spans are removed Work
men ace here to night putting up o derrick in
order to clear the wreck and make arrange
ments to secure the bodies beneath it. 1t is
now stated that at least 800 persons were on
the bridge at the time of the accident, and o
greater number escaped than was at first sup

Religious Trouble ina Canada.

SHSAOAs AEouUAC tH SGAslA1
New YORK, May "a letter from Montre al
states that bitter war, increasing in violence,
IS being waged between the liberal Catholics
and the ultramontanes of Canada. The former
are under the lead of the Archbishop Of Quebec
and the latter of the Jesuits and the Arch
bishop OF Montreal. In the last election the
Quebec party increased their delegation in Par
lament from fifteen to twenty-eight and the
representatives of the Montreal coalition
shrunk from 80 to 81, losing the control of par
Lament. The Jesuits' party sought to subvert
the authority of the Archbishop Of Quebec and
destroy his influence, in the hope thereby to re-
tain power. The Archbishop visited Rome and
has inst returned bearing a repremand for the
Jesuits, which is likely to still furtherintensify
the conflict and may lead to the expulsion of
the Jesuits from Canada.
