Mr.. Beecher,s Paper in Trouble.

After hard struggle through many
difficulties, the Christian Union Pub
fishing Company has collapsed. The
paper itself still lives, but in future will
be published by a new company. A few
months before the Tilton-Beecher trial,
the editor of the Christian Union print
ed a sworn statement to the effect that
the circulation was over 125, 900 copies.
The advertising patronage was large,
and the concern was prosperous. The
publishers were John B. Ford q Co.,
who likewise published all Mr.. Beech
er's works, including the "Life OF
Christ" During the trial the circula-
ton of the paper diminished gradually.
Within year the paper has lost 100, 600
subscribers, and to- day the circulation
of the Christian, Union is within %, 900
copies. John B. Ford & Go. became
bankrupts, and Mr.. Cleveland was ap-
pointed publisher. The latter left the
concern few days ago, and Horaho @.
King became the publisher. A short
time ago, it being necessary to raise
money or stop the paper, and as none
was forthcoming from the stockholders,
the managers resolved to sell the
Christian Union Publishing Company
out, bankrupt it, and make fresh start.
A new company therefore has been
formed this week, with capital OF
$40, 900, to carry on the publication OF
the paper.-NeU York Times.

The Sanitary Condition of Philadel-
Dhia.

For the enlightenment and comfort OF
the hosts who intend to visit Philadel-
phia this summer the Medical Director
OF the Centennial Exhibition has pub
lished a circular upon the subject OF
Philadelphia's sanitary condition and
general healthfulness. The showing is
a very encouraging one. A mortality
table shows that while the average death
rate in Philadelphia during the last five
years has been only 81 per thousand
inhabitants, those OF other great cities
have been as follows: Paris, 23.O6;
London, %. 33; Berlin, %. 81; New York,
29. 90, and Vienna, 31.42. During 1874,
which is the latest year whose statistics
are available, Philadelphia's death rate
was even smaller than the average above
given, amounting to no more than 1913
per thousand inhabitants.
The extreme healthfulness of the city
is due principally to the fact that it's
population is scattered over a wide area,
living chiefly in small homes with almost
none of the crowding into tenement
houses which is common in other great
cities. The sanitary condition OF the
city is kept good also by an abundant
water supply, which has been made still
more abundant in anticipation of the
present years needs, and there is every
reason to believe that no better place
could have been found for the purposes
of an exhibition which will bring vast
crowd of people together every day dur
inc the hot months of summer.

Jurors Take Warming.

The Lancaster penny EG0n1sne4
throws out this hint for the benefit OF
sleepy jurymen: Yesterday we re-
corded the fact of juryman getting
fined $40 and costs for keeping the
court waiting on him one hour while ne
took his after-dinner nap at his hotel:
Another Juror with more tact appeared
on time, answered to his name and then
took his seat in the jury-box and there
took his afternoon nap, perfectly oblivl-
GUS to all that was going on around'hlm,
while his right-hand neighbor, who had
been fined, sat staring hard at the court
and witnesses all afternoon. Of course
the one who slept ia court was not fined
and that's the difference in the way OF
doing things"

Encroachment of Earth on Water.

The deltas of mighty rivers, both in
the old and the new continents, exhibit
in striking manner the growth of land
by the deposition of mud, silt, and sand.
The beautiful lake of Geneva, upward
of forty miles long, is gradually filling
up. The Rhone enters the eastern end
of the lake, bringing so much mud and
silt from the Alps as to render the water
quite turbid; it quits the western end
with the water clear and beautiful.
Nearly all the mud has been deposited
in the lake itself. AS consequence,
the lake is becoming shallower, and
strips of dry land are gradually forming
at the margin. The old town OF Port
Vallais was once at the waters edge; 1t
is now nearly two miles inland, the IN
tervening strip having changed its char
acter from sea to fertile land. BY the
time the same river Rhone reaches the
Mediterranean, it has collected new
cargo of silt and sand, which it deposits
at the mouth, and is there forming
delta of alluvial soil. What were once
the small islands of Mese and Psalmodl
are now joined to the mainland by strips
of this sediment; and tower on the
coast century and a half ago is now a
mile or more inland. The Adriatic sea,
eastward of Italy, is gradually being
choked up at the northern end by river
silt, mostly brought down by the 70.
Adria, Ravenna, Spina, were all seaside
towns when first built; they are now
from four miles to twenty miles inland.
The ancient hot baths of Monfalcone
were once on an island; the island has
long since been connected with the MAIN
land by grassy plain. The northern
pats of Europe exhibit similar phe-
nomena. For instance, the whole OF
Holland may in one sense be regarded
as the delta of the Rhine, formed OF the
sediment brought down and deposited
by that river during countless ages.
The gulf of Bothnia is gradually becom-
ing shallower, and strips Of newt y-formed
dry land are appearing; partly from Silt
deposit, partly, it is surmlsed, from q
slow rising of the earth's crust In that
part of Europe. But what are European

mouth in the bay of Bengal. Here has
been formed delta called the Sunder-
lands, once clear, open sea, now will
derness tenanted by tigers and alllga-
tors, and permeated by numerous
mouths of the Ganges." In round
numbers, the dry land has robbed the
sea of some 200 miles width Of margin
The Indus, in like manner, though il
smaller degree, is robbing the sea, by
forming delta at its estuary or cluster
of mouths. Mud is generally inter
preted by us simply as an annoyance,
not as heavy substance; but the weight
of mud brought down by some OF the
great rivers is almost inconceivably
great. Acalculation has been made that,
in 1872 days of the rainy season, the
Gauges brings down 6,OO0,O 900, 900 cubic
feet of earthly matter !-Chonabers

Sad news is received from Brussels OF
the condition of the ex-Empress Car
lotta, widow of the unfortunate Emperor
of Mexico. Her physical health is good,
but the unfortunate lady can no longer
recognize her nearest relations, and the
visit of any one who is not one OF her

expression. She has occasionally lucid
intervals, but they are Of very brief dura-

He was found drunk at target practice,

upon being told SO by his officer, hesud-
