Turkey has promised to distribute one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars among
the Bulgarian sufferers.
A telegram from the city of Mexico
states that general Mejia, the minister of
war, has retired from the cabinet, and is

The London Times thinks the temper
of Europe is swiftly undergoing menacing
change, and that more countries than Russia
might easily pass beyond the control of
statesmen.
There is another revolution in progress
in the vicinity Of Maiamoras, Mexico. The
revolutionists so far have everything their
own way, and the people seem to be salts

Though accounts of some Turkish out
RACES are unhappily too well established to
be doubted, fair idea of the proceedings OF
the Turkish force is not to he gathered from
the fearful tales SO carefully collected. An
English gentleman, who passed through the

outrage. Before the publication of the or

twenty dollars per month, with board
and lodging. This work was formerly
done by Cinnamon. In March thirty

thirty-one furnished with work; in April
ninety.One were received, and eighty-two
given employment; and in May there

Longevity Of Brain-Wsrkcr Z

That great thinkers and hard brain
workers are long lived is asserted, with
II considerable array Of facts, in vol
ume by DR.. Beard. lie presents Il list
Of some five hundred of the most emf
ncnt names in history, including a num-
bcr like Pascal, Mozart, Keats and
others who died young, and finds the
average of the five hundred to have been
over sixty-iour years. As this is far
beyond the average Of farmers, mcchan-
icl and business men, he concludes that
the wear and tear of brain work is not so
cxhausting Us is commonly supposed and
that it rarely Shortcns Ii e. The London
Spectator, however, reviewing this thcO.
ry maintains that excessive mental toll
must shorten life. and did evidently
shorten it in the case Of many of the five
hundred cited; but they had originally
more vigorous constitutions aud large
amount of vital force, and, by virtue o'
this superior vitality which explains IL
part, also, their superior brain power
they were able to continue hard work
even to old age, before breaking dowI
under the pressure; though the SAINT
vital force would have prolonged lif'
for many years if they had not exhausted
it prematurcly.

A CORRESPONDENT of the French
journal l. LExplorateur has lately shown
that the population of France, instead of
increasing, is diminishing, and what is of
more importance still, he quotes figures
to show that the French are deterorating
in physical vigor. In 1866 the popula-
ton was SS,0OO,0O0 and in 1872 it was
3600O,O0O, and taking into account the
loss Of Alsace and Lorraine the p0pula-
ton is seen to have declined by nearly
3'O,OOO in six years. In 1873 the
number of persons who reached the age
of twenty years was 3OS,SlO; in 1874,
96,26l; in 1875, 2S3,76S; and in 1876,
only 277,OOO. Inspection of an average
French regiment shows that the people
throughout the country are stunted in
growth, although Normandy and Brit.
lany still possess stalwart peasantry.
As the emigration from France is not
great and the diminutiOn is evidently
,oa,o.o auses acting through long
~ u oyears there is serious danger
ahead for her as nation. In material
prosperity France is, however, wonder
fully resilient, and the spectacle is thus
presented ofwhich Goldsmith spoke in
his famous lines:
III iares the land, to fastening ills a prey
Where wealth accumulates and men decay"
Inc laws regulating the peasant s
tenure of land are snch as practically
prevent him from rearing large family,
and in the cities the artisan class is most
iecund, and, feeling the pinch of poverty,
are easily led into sedition. Having no
great foreign dependency like India
lhere is no natural outlet for men OF
ambition and ability, who therefore
easily develop into revolutionist1.
but, as things are going, France is be.
coming the ideal land of Nautilus, where
ny Keeping down population the people
know no great extremes of wealth ol
poverty.

Cremation.

The movement in favor of crema-
ton has been resumed in Germany by
a Dresden Society, which has addressed
an appeal to all kindred societies Of
the German Empire, of Austria, and
Switzerland. The, Town of Gotha,
where government has removed all le-
gal obstacles hitherto existing in regard
to fire-burial," is recommended as the
central seat of the new agitation. A
conference of delegates of the various
associations was convoked to Dresden
for April IL. The ancient custom of Gre
nation, which prevailed not less among
the Teutonic races than among the
Indians of old, the Phonicians, the
Greek, and the Romans, seems thus in
a fair way of being gradually reintro-
duced in Germany. In Italy, also. q
cremation society has been constituted
at Milan. Several hundred declara-
tons Of assent have already been sent
in; among them those of not few
men of note in science and politics.
