At meeting Of the Board Of Aldermen
on the 9th of July, Hugh McCrea, Presi
dent of the Board, called attention to an
article in the Popular Science Monthly,
taken from the Sdaitdridn, a medical jour
nal published in New York, which con-
tanned a table showing the death-rate in
various cities of the United States for the
month Of March. The table went
on to show that the high
was in Nashville, that being 81 69-lOO per
thousand. The author Of the article in the
Sdnitaridn took the number Of deaths for
one month and based his calculation upon
that figure. The result, as published, evil
IDENTIFY did Nashville great injustice. by
way Of correcting the false impression
created by the erroneous statement, we
publish some figures We get from Mayor
Howell, who has taken the pains to give
the matter a thorough investigation.
The total white population Of the city is
1903, while the colOred population is
9,911. The number Of white persons dying
from July 10, 1874, TO July 10, 1875, was
39S, while the deaths among the colOred
population were 459. Of these there were
thirty-eight white thldIen still born, and
ffty-six eolored infants lifeless inthe same
way. TIE ratio Of white deaths
for one wear from the 10th Of July,
1874, was q 2S.l00 per thousand, or one
in y 95-lO0. The ratio Of c0lored deaths in
the same period was 1881 per thousand, or
one in 21.6O. As the colOred population is
only half as large as TIE white, and the
death late of the former dOuble that Of the
latter, it will be seen that four negroes die
to one white person.
The whites stillborn were one in 449.SO,
while the negroes were one in III. The
total population Of the city is 27,OO4, and
the Total number of deaths for one year,
from the 10th of July, 1874, ST, thus
making the death-rate 3l.7l per thousand.
Let one observe the great disparity between
the deaths among the whites and the
blacks, ard by what they are occasioned.
| The large number of deaths among
the negroes can be accounted for by the char
acter Of the places in which they live, The
/ food they eat, and the lives they lead.
| Many of Them live in crowded novels, and
when taken sick, are entirely without
medical attention, or nOuTishng food. An
other thing to be considered IN connection
with this matter is that great many of the
cities that show a larger death rate than
Nashville have no colored population worth
/ mentioning.

MARRIED. CHILDREN AT SCHOOL


Under this caption the Pail Mall Ca
zette speaks ironically IS follows concerning
the piece of legislation recommended By
Lord Stanley, of Alderley:
The amendment which Lord Stanley, of
Alderiey, is DESTROYS Of introducing into
the education act Of 1870 deserves very
grave consideration. He wishes to sub
stitute the words boys and Un-
married women for the word "chil-
dren" in the clause giving compulsory
power to school boards, for the following
reason: By the common law Of England,
as laid down by Lord COleridge,it is lawful
for woman twelve years of age 10 marry,
and under these circumstances such q case
as this might arise: A Manchester work
ingman might select for himself a bride of
twelve years Of age, marry her and take her
TO his home, when in consequence of her
absence from school for a week OF a fort
night the police or the school board officials
on her first appearance in the public streets
might carry Der of from her husband to
hurry her away to a board school. With
OF without a breach Of the peace, the case
would then be brought before a magistrate
for his decision, when the husband would
plead his right 10 his wife's company at all
times under the common law, while
the school board official would show
that the educational act gave him
the right and imposed on him
the duty Of enforcing her attendance
at shOOl for another year. How would the
magistrate decide in such a case, and what
view would the home secretary adOp. ?
Would the government be disposed to ask
parliament to enact that no woman should
marry till she had attained the ace Of
thirteen and had competed her schooling {?
Or would the education department be
willing to allow a woman to marry when
twelve years old, and be free from school if
she had completed 8 certain number Of at
tendances during the previous year? This
would be open 10 objection as an eXer-
else of Tie dispensing power. The
Duke Of Richmond declines to promise the
legislation looked for, and this important
matter must therefore stand over another
year. In the meantime Lord Stanley, of
Alderley, should fOTtify his case by obtain
ing statistics Of the number Of working
mems wives Of the age Of twelve years, and
should further consider whether a magis-
trate might not hold it to be a 'reasOna-
bic excuse under the act for the nOn-at-
tendance Of a child that the child is a mar
Tied woman.

they board railroad trains. Last Friday
night at Upton Station, short distance
this side Of ElizabethtoTn, on The Louis
vile, Nashville and Great Southern road, a
man stood about the depot till The train
moved out, and then attempted 10 jump on.
As luck would have it, he jumped directly
between the coaches. In moment more be
would have been crushed under The wheels,
had he not been caught by Charlie Morris,
a newsboy who was standing on the plat
form al the time. Through his efforts and
those the fellow made in his. own behalf,
he was safely landed or the steps Of the
