Infant sfortality in Cities.

After some Introductory remarks bv
President Smith. Professor Har.shorne. Of
this city. delivered an address of welcome
and read carefully prepared paper ON the
Excessive Infant Mortality of Cities, and
the Means OF its Prevention The follow.
ing extracts are made from the paper:
1t is. IN my belief, a justltiabie opinion
that among those born with a norma! con.
stitution. and under entirely favorable cir.
cumstances. the mortality during infancy
and childhood ought TO be less than at any
other period of lie. Yet it is fact familiar
to every one that the reverse is the case in
very many lOcalities--most notably in large
cities. In France. according to Bouchut.
One-slXth OF all born die in the first year OF
life :Bertillon recently puts it at One.tifth.;
in Sweden anu Finland. one fifth: in Berlin.
Prussia. one third. Nor il the proportion
very much less in some parts OF England
and this country. Before the war it was
worst Of all in New Orleans. In 1872 one
death to every four and half occurred
under one year OF age in that city. :"
The rate IS declining somewhat during
the last few years in Philadelphia
and New York. From 1860 to 1872
the deaths under five Years were
ii..8 per cent. and under one wear
s1;25 per cent OF the total mortality Of Phil.
AS DR.. Elisha Harris has remarked. sum.
lner is the te'stotor infantun in New York.
In the summer quarter OF 1868 In that city,
the whole number Of deaths being some.
what less than 500. of these nearly $500

Banks Triumph.
The Washington Chronicle saws:

TIC W ashInRtOn LHFOHlCe says:
Nathaniel z. Banks made square Il yht
and deserved an election. In his very first
speech he told the Democrats that 1.-the
civil rights bill was measure deemed by
sumner to be essential TO the security Of
the newly enfranchised people. and for his
part he should probably vote for it should
he have an opportunity" He thought, how.
ever. that ii both parties would drop the
question. the blacks would in one or two
years gain all their political rights by the
South's action. On all other questions he
defined his position with equal courage. The
result shows that the people Of his district
were not slow to recognize and reward his
honesty. Genera! Banks carried every town
but one in his district. When he was elected
to the State Senate last spring he carried
every town. His opponent. ID. W. Gooeh.
was an honest, able and popular man.
