SINCE 1872 the balance Of trade has
been against Germany to the tune OF
six hundred millions Of dollars; that
is, her imports have exceeded by that
amount her exports. Living is twice
as dear at Berlin as it was prior to the
late war, and the population have al.
ready run through the driblets Of the
French indemnity. Herr Camphausen,
Secretary of the Treasury, is already
booked to clap on the increased taxes
for 1876 in order to meet the vast roy.
al and imperial requirements.

Lrrrrr rRox SOUTH MOUNTAIN.
SOUTH MOUNTAIN, Aug. 8, 1873.

SOUTH MOUNTAIN, Au6. - AosO'
Last spring before left Idaho City for
this place, promised to give you an oc'l
casional pen-sketch from South Mountain.
Acknowledging shat ! am not 2 practical
newspaper correspondent Inay expect q
reasonable amount OF allowance for any
informalities that may occur In my com-
munications. intend to portray matters
and subjects concerning this place, just as
they appear to me, regardless Of other peo-
pies opinions. In this, will merely en-
deavor to give you description Of the
TOWN OF sorrH MOUNTAIN.
The altitude of the town is six thousand
four hundred and fifty feet, according to
the register of Mr.. Bomer's barometer), and
ia situated at the head Of Williams creek,
within one mile and a-half Of the highest
peak Of the mountain, which is about one
thousand feet higher than the town. The
town is forked one, and looks like large
letter Y. At the lower or northern end OF
town. is where the reduction works Of the
company are situated, and short distance
above their property is the junction of two
small streams which, l believe. are termed
the East and West branches Of Willow
creek. On the sloping plateau between
these two streams, is where the business
portion of the town is situated. There is
but one street up through the center until
the ridge that separates the two streams
also divide the street, which gives the town
the form of the letter Y as stated before.
There are about one hundred buildings
constructed oflumber besides quite num-
Der of log-cabins scattered around promis-
cuously.
Some Of the buildings erected this sea-
son are substantial ones, and present fine
appearance; yet it is what might be called
u very awkwardly built up town; there
has been no system or regularity displayed
in the laying Of foundations. do not be
lieve that there are three buildings in the
place fronting on line with each other
which, ~ matter of course. gives the
town = very ungainly appearance. The
street. or streets, have been entirely neg.
lected: so far there has been very little
grading done. Stumps, piles Of lumber
heaps Of rubbish. and any amount of dust
are what our streets are composed Of ut pres
ent; but such condition of things may be
looked for in all new mining camps.
Times have been rather quiet here the
past month. bu. the probability is that they
will brighten up materially from this on
The solid men Of the company are here a,
present, and are talking Of extensive i'm
provcmcnts that are to be made this fall
! yet which will give employment to ut lcas,
double the number Of men at present EN-.
ploycd. In my next will inform you

HE enormous mOIt~hNy oiAOn6 ~
fants in New York is attracting much
attention. 1A.one week recently there
were 9Bl deaths, of which number
64s, or nearly 70 per cent, were chill
dren snder five years of age. Ut this
number sos died of cholera infantum
or diarrhueal diseases. The greater
portion Of this mortality has occurred
il the districts of the city which
abound in tenement houses, in which
families are packed away at the rate
Of nearly 100000 persons to the square
mile. A remarkable feature in con-
nection with this excessive infantile
mortality is the fact that q large pre-
ponderancc of the deaths appears
among the children of German par.
ents. OF 64S children who died dur
ing the week mentioned nearly 40
per cent. were children of Germans,
% per cent. Irish, 10 per cent. other
nationalities, and % per cent. the off
spring of natives. The Germans form
only about 90 per cent. Of the pcpula'
ton, so that, in proportion to their
numbers, the mortality is very high
Although the Irish-born exceed the
German element in our city, it is be
lieved that the married Germans arc
as numerous as the married Irish
The former, as rule, get married al
: very early age. while the Irish ser
want girls and Irishmen who arrive
here unmarried do not enter the marri
age state il such numbers and at sc
early an age as the Germans. Tht
Germans. too, have larger families
and their wives arc not, taken rs :
class, Of such robust constitution q.
the Irish mothers. The difference il
the rate Of mortality between these
two classes is certainly remarkable
Taking the children in both classes ..
equal in numbers, there must BE- some
latent cause for the excessive MORTAL
ty among the Germans. The mortali
| ty among the children Of native par
ents is low considering their proper
ton to the entire population; but THU
low mortality arises from the fact tina
the death-ratc among the children 0
the wealthy classes, the great majorit,
Of whom are Americans, is very small
indeed. Where the infant population
is we'll cared for, where there is goot
and wholesome food and . sufficicnc,
Of it, where the houses are we'll VENT
lated, and where defective drainag,
does not exist, there the mortality vii
be found below the average.

1rArrrA1AxcE or THE PLAGUE.
An old and very unwclcome visi-
tant made its appearance in the
marshy districts between the Tigris
and Euphrates. It is the old-fashioned
plague, which, under the name Of black
death, destroyed in Europe between
ls4s and 1861 about 100000 OF
people, Italy losing half Of its inhabi
tants, Germany about 100000 souls,
and London alone 100000 of its resi-
dents. In China, 100000, and in
the other countries of the east, "a, OoO,-
900 persons are said to have fallen
victims to this epidemic, which seems
to have extended to Africa on the
south and to Greenland in the North.
No such destructive scourge had been
known, and. as usual in the middle
ages, the Jews in Europe were held
responsible. 1t was said that they
had poisoned the wells, and at May.
ence 10000 of them were massacred.
The plague has since spread into Eu.
rope at different periods, but its rava'
ges have been confined to considera'
Div narrower limits. In 1876 Titan
died from it at Venice. In 1865 il
ragged in London, nearly 10000 hav'
ing fallen victims to it. In 1920 not
far from one-half of the people Of Mar
settles were swept away, and about
1890 it was very fatal in Russia and
Poland. The latter visitations Of the
plague have been mainly con
fined to the countries lying along the
eastern shores of the Mediterranean
The disease is fatal in the majority o.
cases, death occurring III less than .
week after the first attack. Nowhere
has its symptoms been 80 faithfully

HOT PEANUTS.

Theater- goers, as rule, do not devote any ex-
traordinary amount of time to the consideration
of the delicacies exposed at the doors of the va
rous places of amusement. The American taste
for peanuts and sour apples has sadly depre-
ciated, and to an ordinary eye it would almost
seem that our civilization was on retrograde
movement. Our standard of perfectability, how
ever, yet remains.
Since the bleak and cherries winter OF 1889
the veteran-ess, (if the term be allowab e., Mary
Ann Wilson has, through sunshine and shadow,
stood, as faithful as Cassabiauca, to her post
and has venoed to her hosts of friends the choic-
est peanuts Of the season. From the time old
Stickney's Circus held forth at Poydras Market
down to the present, Mrs. Wilson has not missed
single night. Cakes, pies and peanuts are her
only stock, and for thirty-six years her profit on
these has been her main support.
1t is true her services as nurse during the
yellow fever epedemics of 1S47 1858, 81 and '67
have won for her the highest mead of praise
and her portfolio is full of letters of commenda-
ton, but, true to her old calling, she sticks In
the bleakest of nights by her peanut stand, and
until daylight can always be found there. she
first came to this city in the year 1889, the wife
of sailor, but, owing to shipwreck was left a
widow, pennless ia the world. This clrcum-
stance brought out her latent energy, for in a
short time she opened fruit stand and since she
has been the dispenser of these concomtants OF
dramatic delight At the door Of the Academy
of Music, every night, she can now be seen, but
little of her youthful vigor wasted and to con-
nOisseur her peanuts are delightful.

FEMORAL ANEURISM.
That Remarkable Cure.

John Koran, United States soldier, the subject
femoral aneurism, which was noticed in the Bull
LET1N Of Saturday morn ne, was at the Office of
DR.. G. B. White, President Of the Board of
Health yesterday, and was visited and examined
by number of physicians, who all concurred in
the opinion that it was q most remarkable case,
and the only one ON record.
The man, some five months ago, in rising
hastily to sitting posture in bed, ruptured the
femoral artery just below Poupart's ligameut.
The man fell back and was for some length of
time supposed to be dead, but signs of life being
discovered, stimulants were given him and he re-
vived.
The aneursm, it was found could not be cured
by ligature between it and the heart, on account
of the atheromatous condition Of the vessel.
| The attending physician, while entertaining no
hopes Of the recovery of the patient Continued
| to administer stimulants.
The leg of the. patieut swellei to three times
| its natural size, and it was expected that gan
creme would set in, and the attending physician
and those who had been called in for consultation
were of the opinion that death would result from
| that cause.
| The swelling in the leg, after continuing me
| time, during which the patient was continually
sinking and ralying, began to abate and the man
to rally, and his recovery from that time was
rapid.
! There is still small tumor on his leg, which is
gradually becoming reduced in size aud harder,
and its ultimate disappearance is not questioned.
The supply of blood to the leg doubtless comes
from the branches of the internal lilac, and there
must have been considerable obstruction to the
femoral artery before the rupture took place,
which obstruction developed the collateral circu-
lation, else gangrene of the limb would certainly
have taken place from tho sudden stoppage of
the supply Of hood.
| The pressure of the III ,od which could not cir
culate it is supposed, closed the artery ruptured
and kept it closed.

Total Abstinence,

In commemoration Of the birthday OF that great
worker ia the cause OF temperance, the world
known Father Matthew, the total abstinence 90
cieties of this city are to have procession through
our principal thoroughfares on Sunday, October
10th. The ceremonies will be as follows:
1. Five days retreat at the Jesuiis' Church.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday evenings of next week, at ~ O'Clock pune
tually, sermon and benediction.
2. General communion at the 7 o'clock mass.
Sunday morning, October 10th, at the Jesuits

cieties.
4. At $50 o'clock in the evening, Right Rev.
VIM. H. Elder Bishop OF Natchez, will lecture in

than ordinary importance. The gathering of the
Catholic temperance hosts Of our city cannot but
be of benefit to our growing population, and the
days festivities be of more than ordinary i'm
pOrtance.
