A Cause of Longevity.

Dr. Madison Marsh of Port Hudson,
Louisiana, writes IN the Philadelphia
Medical and Surgical Reporter an ar
ticle on the Jews and Christians, in
which he states that from his own OBJ
servation and from inquiries he has
made, he believes that the former race
enjoys almost an immunity from con-
sumption. He also finds from statis-
tics that Jews have a longer average
longevity than Christians. Tables
compiled in Germany, France and
England reveal the astonishing facts
that in the first five years of the life Of
one hundred of children of Jews,
twelve died; of one hundred of Chris
tians, twenty-four die. Among one
hundred Christians, thirty-eight at
tain to seventy years, and fifty-four
among Jews. Thirteen Christians at
tain to eighty years, while twenty
seven Jews attain to the same age. In
endeavoring to affix an explanation to
these singular results, the Doctors
faith oscillates between miraculous
interference and the avoidance of
pork.
1t is the avoidance of pork that does
1t; at least that is enough to account
for still greater difference in Ion
gevity. F. M. SHAW.

EDITOR HERALD: Silver Grange in
itiated a class in the fourth degree
Saturday last, at the conclusion of
which a harvest feast was spread
which was in every way worthy of
the good sisters who prepared it.
There was an ample supply of every
thing one not over fastidious might
wish. Mr.. VIM. Caruthers, w. T.,
brought in some peaches grown upon
his place, which deserve mention for
their extra large size. Every men,
ber went away more than ever fa-
forably impressed with the social
feature of the Grange. At present
there are about one hundred and
thirty members and applications are
still being made.
This place is improving very fast.
Two days ago carpenter said he had
applications to work on three build
ings at the same time. The remain
ing business houses of Gallatin are
being brought here as fast as men
with teams can bring them, which is
at the rate of one to three a day.
Frankel Bros. have removed their
buildings, bringing with them the
postoffice. OF course the name of the
office has not been changed by its
being transferred to this place, nor is
it likely to be changed. Judge Craw-
ford is having the streets graded and
otherwise improved. The present is a
favorable time to invest in town lots.
Situated in the midst of fertile Sec
ton, admiralty adapted to raising
fruits and the cereals, this must con-
tinue to be q thriving village. Hands
are pushing the work of extending
the railroad to Anaheim. This rem
ders this place fixture. There is no
danger of its being necessary to move
again. AS advertised in the HERALD,
men are preparing an arbor for
the old fashioned camp-meeting
which is to begin at their grounds one
mile east of this place at New River,
next Friday. That is glorious coun-
try for a camp-meeting! No rain nor
fear of it. 1t is rumored that an extra
train will run to this place from Los
Angeles during the continuation of
the meeting to enable persons living
in Los Angeles to visit the meeting
and return on the same day. What
with building houses, moving old
ones, opening streets, building rail-
road and preparing for camp-meeting,
this community presents lively ap-
pearance just now. p.

Killed by a Compositor. ,

Such was the verdict of the Coron-
er's jury on the case. The circum-
stances were as follows: He loved
madly, passionately. His fair one
smiled, and all was going well. His
suit was safe; but in an evil moment
he conceived the dangerous idea of
elinching it, so to speak, with a poem.
He wrote his poem in a moment of
heavenly inspiration, and sent it to
the village weekly. 1t began thus:
Maud Mary Jane Pilkinton Filler,
White skirted marvel of duty
The wide world can never beguile her,
My gold-headed, blue-belted beauty.
1t was pretty poetic flower as it
stood, but the compositorial Goth laid
his typographical hand upon it, and
when it appeared "skirted1 was spell
ed with an "h," and "belted " mad
two "psp in it and an "i." And SO
they laid him tearfully away beneath
the daisies, and rendered verdict as
above.
