Death Rate In the American
Cities.

A statement, published in the Similar.
iym. Of the death.rate in fourteen Of the
largest cities ia the United States, for the
four weeks ending August % except
Newark and Providence, 10 which the
showing ia for the month Of August,
shows the following per cent, Of deaths
per 1000 inhabitants; New York, 32.43;
Philadelphia, 26G3; Brooklyn, 1896; st.
Louis, 26.82; Chicago, 27.5l; Baltimore,
1892; Boston, 34.Ql; Cincinnati, 1921,
San Francisco 1921; New Orleans, 2G.jj;
Washington, 1888; Pittsburgh, 27.Oj;
Newark, 29.sl; Providence, 1886. A re.
markable feature in the above is the low
deaih.ra,e in Cincinnati, which shows a
greatly higher condition Of health than in
any city east Of the Rocky Mountains.
San Francisco alone .has n lower rate.
But il we,take into consideration that
the population Of San Francisco il com.
posed mostly Of emigrantS, and that these
are naturally young and hardy men, ADD
that even ii We date back to the frat emf.
grants, the young men have not yet become
old, and that, on the other hand, Cincin.
natl was large town half century ago,
and that for long time il has not had
any great accessions BY immigration, and
that i,s population includes the full pro.
portion Of aged and infants, we shall see
that its death.tate shows n more healthy
state than even that Of San Francisco.

The Bank Of NeNada.

The opening Of the Bank OF Nevada il

$4,000, which took place on October
9Th, attracted 4 grel! crowd, mainly
drawn BY curiosity 70 see the new build

Who, few years ago the proPrietors OF
a small drinking saloon, are now Eegar-
ded a. the iEo wealthiest men on the
Pacific coast. They made their money
By lucky mining specu!ations, and are
the principal owners u the big bop1RLA
Of the COmsiock lode. Il IS doubtful II
the establishment Of this bank will add
70 the happiness or prosperity Of the
people Of the Pacific States, a. i; il under.
stood tina; instead Of doing commercial
business it will make speciality Of ad'
yancing loans upon mining stock. The
building iiseliis continual reminder Of
the wonderful rapidiiy with which IL
proprietors attained theiE en0rmou.
wealth, and consequently an incentive q
speculation in a class OF ,tocks which will
ultimately prove disastrous to by ia. the
greater portion Of those who dabble in
them. /. Is said that it Is the ambition o.
Flood x O'Brien to get possession OF all
the Comstock mines, and it Is shreWdly
suspected that they entertain the hope Of
effecting this By making loans on hypoth
eca,ei stocks, which the hypoIhecator,
may never be able to redeem. When il
/. remembered what sudden fluctuations
frequently occur in the mining stocks o.
the Pacific State, it will not seem IN
reasonable to anticipate such result
whether the bank ProPrietors themselves
have it in view or not.

THE RAILROADS WEST.
They are All Doing u Splendid
business.

Business for the past two or three
weeks ha. been all that the managers Of
the Western road. leading from this city
could desire, and they have been hauling
almost as much as they have been able to
do with the present supply Of rolling
stock. The Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and
Chicago Railroad Tor at least two weeks
has been receiving at their yards in this
city from one hundred to one hundred
and twenty-five cars per day, the freight
not being confined to any special class,
but consisting OF every kind Of merchan.
disc, general assortment Of pork, Hour,
grain, potatoes, and everything in the
merchandise line. The Cleveland and
Pittsburgh Road Is also doing a splendid
business, and has been receiving from
sixty to seventy car. per day for the last
month, their bushes. being principally
with city merchants. One OF our pro.

West, the trade bid. isir to keep brisk for
some time to come.
The passenger traiiic upon the above

about 300 miles west Of Kansas City TO
Fort Hays, the centre Of the tract. Ills
effort Is to establish a model farm, for
which great credit is due him, az we'll az

A POWERFUL DRASTIC.

Although the meeting of the Democratic
House of Representatives will not take place
before December, the simple knowledge Of
that fact is already creating great commo-
ton among the choice spirits who constitute
the Washington oligarchy. The investigation
remedy, which the political Galens will,
doubtless compel these refractory patients to
swallow, is already working" by anticipa-
ton. Williams had the first symptoms few
days ago, and at once made up his mind that
private business required his immediate with
drawal from Grants Cabinet. Delano's In
terror Department is out OF order, but he was
prevailed upon to stay little longer in order
to be let down easy.
The rotund Robson is undergoing the
horrors of sea sickness, and the martial Bel
KNAPP is said to be suff.ring from certain
unmention able ailment very prevalent in
badly kept military quarters. This is another
illustration Of the power of the Imagination
to produce disease, and even death, among
highly susceptible patients, the pangs Of
giving up public Office being quite as great as
those by which the last hours Of mans life
are generally accompanied.
1t seems t. us, however, that the mere fact
Of throwing up their commissions no more
exonerates the above named worthless than .

should the Augean stables be thoroughly

benefit to the American people. We hope

MR.. BROWN, THE MIND READER.

One evening last week, at one Of the pub
lie halls in Philadelphia, Mr.. ]. B. Brown ex-
hibited evidences of very remarkable pc wer,
which he claims to possess. that of telling
the thought or object on which the mind Of
another person is fixed, without other COM
munication except by touch Of hands or the
application Of the hand to the forehead.
The experiments were performed under the
supervision of a committe of twelve gentle
men, nominated by the audience after Mr..
Brown was introduced. The committee con-
sisted Of distinguished and honorable persons,
among whom were Edward Shipper, Henry
Davis, DR.. Whitehouse, DR.. Thomas Morton,
Rev. Mr.. Thomas Charles Kuhn and A. NJ.
Spangler. One Of the experiments is thus
described:
The first experiment was made with Rev.
DR.. Willetts. Mr.. Brown was taken to the
ante-room by members of the committee and
blindtolded, while DR.. Willetts hid small
shoe-buttoner under cushion on the rear
row of chairs. He then went upon the plat
form. where he was met by Mr.. Brown; their
left hands were joined, Mr.. Brown putting
his forehead upon the left hand of MIR. Will
let's. The latter was then led at rapid gait
down the steps and directly to the spot where
the article was hidden. an error of one chair
being made This was explained by Dr.. Will
let's. who said that while he had the fourth
chair of the row in mind he was looking d.
directly at the spot which Mr.. Brown indi-
Gated.
Another feat was performed as follows:
Prot. Barker was then requested to think
ont a certain route in the auditorium, no mat
ter how complicated. He did SO, and Mr.
Brown led him down the steps through the
aisles. with Fmany turns and frequent doub
lings back upon the stage. where several sharp

angles, and sudden turns aud winding courses
were taken. The Professor stated that the
course was correctly followed.
Mr.. Brown called two gentlemen to the
platform in succession and indicated in each
case the location Of chronic pain.
A variety of other tests and experiments
were introduced all under the vigilant scru-
tiny of the committee, some of whom partici-
pated in each. All these seemed to be sue
cessfully performed, and the whole appears
to have been thorough and even scientific
inquiry. Mr.. Brown is no spiritualist, nor
does he ascribe his faculty of telling another's
thoughts to animal magnetism, or to account
for it in any way. Before the experiments
began he said to the audience that he was as
much mystery to himself as he was to
others.
Admitting the facts to be as related at this
exhibition and as they appeared to the dis
corning and capable gentlemen of the conf
mittee, there would be no escape from the
conviction that there exists q human and
natural faculty by which one person may
know accurately the thought of another by
mers contact of hands. The range of human
faculties is of such vide extent and SO varied
that it would scarcely be philcsophic to dis
miss such mantle ,:ations as are represented
in the case Of Mr.. Brown as wholly chimerical
and unworthy of serious inquiry. The
power claimed, if it exists, may be the result
of some abnormal development of nervous
force, or OF some peculiar combination OF
faculties which may occur in no more than
one case out Of many millions. The non
possession of faculty by multitude of per-
sons is not to lie assumed as a proof that the
faculty is impossible. A distinction is always
to be drawn between the phenomena! and the
supernatural
