A CURIOUS UNIFoRMITY.-One of the most
wonderful things in the world is the uni
fae.4y of apparent accidents. Thus in
Great Britain, where the statistics are much
better preserved than in this country. the
total number of deaths by human violence
in 1870 was 1888; in 1869 it was 16. 497 It
was 16963 in 1868; L. $40 in 1867 Ii, 9l5 ID
1866; 1884 in 1866, and IL ,01S in 1864 Not
only that, but the same uniformity extends
to the manner in which the victims met their
deaths. How are we to account for this
uniformity, except upon the principle that
in the divine economy Of Nature there is no
such thing as an accident or an exception to
ordinary laws by rich the whole universe

Is THERE REALLY ANY FAMINE IN BEN
GAL!-People here now are beginning tc
assert that the Bengal famine, in the sense
in which the English press has taken up
these words, does not exist. Allowing fol-
the difference Of population, fewer people
seem to have persisted from want Of food
than in London during ordinary years. 1t
is now three months since the so-called
famine districts with their twenty five mil
lion of people were placed under the strict
est surveillance. They have a vast residual
population of lepers, cripples, diseased and
emaciated persons, without any system of
alms-hOuses or public relief of any sort.
Most of these live in chronic state of half
starvation, and many die from want of food.
The latest famine report gives the total of
such deaths Eat from twelve to twenty"
Take the coroners' inquests for London
during the same period, multiply the cases
of death from want of food by eight, and
compare the results in city where such
cases are not searched out, and where most
ample organization for relief exists, with
the similar deaths in famine-stricken"
Bengal.

VINE CULTURE.-In speech made in the
House on the eth inst, Mr.. Luttrell, of Cali
fornia, gave some interesting statistics to
prove that the wine-producing capabilities
of California soil far exceed those of the
most favored wine-growing countries of
Europe. The wine crop of Germany is
about $4,000, 900 per annum, grown on 3oo,.
600 acres, which would make the average
yield 166 gallons to the acre. The crop in
France in 1851 ST. was was 100000, 900 gallons,
on about 100000 acres, which would
show an average yield of 800 gallons per
acre: But the average yield Of wine from
the California vineyards is 600 gallons to the
acre, nearly twice as great as the French
average and more than three times the Ger
man. French and German wines are esteem
ed superior to any produced in this country;
but there is good deal of fancy in this opin-
ion. Many Germans who are better Judges
Of wine tLan Americans, are beginning to
show preference for California wines, and
the time is not far distant, probably, when
the lower grades of foreign wines will yield
to wines Of our own producing

DR.: Bouchaud, of Paris, strongly recon-
mends the use of electricity in cases of Sc.
we're toothache, and maintains that not unfre.
quently perfect cure will be effected, even
where the teeth a greatly decayed. He has
seldom failed to secure at least a temporary
relief, this frequently lasting for days, and
often continuing definitely. In numerous
instances where alleviation after the first
application was of brief duration, the effect
became more and more marked, and lasted
longer az the treatment vas repeated. The
is to place the positive pole of the current
on the cheek opposite the diseased tooth,
and the negative upon the antero lateral
portion Of the neck; and, to avoid ulcer
ations, he makes the electrodes very large,
and changes their place frequently. He CON
tinues the application for about half an
hour, although relief is frequently expert
enced sooner. He uses battery Of about
ten elements.

THE PET OF ROYALTY.-A London letter
contains some interesting odds and ends OF
court and imperial gossip. Disraeli is said
to have formed warm friendship for the
Duchess Of Edinburgh, who, he declares, is
the most gifted and cultivated lady, of any
age or country, that he has ever met Ii

Premier is not Gas stated) about to marry
again, as it is that the Viscountess Bescons-
field does not live to hear the compliment.
The duchess is highly cultivated = most
Russian ladies are = and speaks all CONT
mental languages with but little Tartar &C.
cent. Mr.. Disraeli is the pet of all their
royal highnesses of the feminine description.
One might think this general popularity
might be endangered by such bold compli-
ments as the above to any of them; but
the Premier is used to balance himself on
wires where others would turn dizzy. There
are rumors of negotiations looking to the
betrOthal of Afonzo, aged 16, son of Isabel
la, and the daughter of Don Carlos, aged g.
The marriage, if it occurs, will, like other
royal marriages, be the result of pure affec-
ton. So will be another which is talked of,
namely, that of the young Napoleon, at
Chiselhurst, with the little daughter of
MacMahon. The gentleman in this case

A convict escaped in Georgia recently, and
under extraordinary circumstances. 1t ap.
pears that he, with Others, had been hired
out for agricultural labor. The overseer had
some dogs that he was training to catch any
OF the gang who might escape, and he
turned this convict loose to exercise the
dogs and instruct them in their parts. But
the fellow took his part in earnest, and as
the dogs failed to come up to what was ex-
pected of them, he was not caught.
