The conviction of army officers that
Howard is not n success is gradually

Mans Allotted Time.

From the elaborate tables drawn M
by DIR. Farr, it would seem, as far AS can
be made out, there are certainly very
critical periods in our career. A baby,
for instance, has very small chance in
deed of growing up. But, on the other
hand, the period between the tenth and
fifteenth years exclusively is that in
which the death average is the smallest.
At about thirty.five we must begin to
take care of ourselves. At this period
constitutional changes set in; our hair
and teeth begin to fail us; our digestion
is no longer what it used to be; we lose
the vigor of youth and neglect outdoor
exercise; above all, the cares of life begin
to make themselves perceptibly felt. 1t
is at this time that death from suicide
takes a marked place in the returns of
mortality, and there is also considerable
reason to believe that habits of intem-
perance are apt to suddenly develop
themselves. The picture, however, has
its sunshiny side. 1t would take, of
course, professional actuary to deduce
from DIR. Farr's tables their exact result.
1t appears, however, that il man tides
over his fiftieth year he may make toler
able certain of living to seventy, while
II he reaches his seventy-ffth year there
is very strong presumption that he will
either turn his ninetieth birthday or very
near IL. A still more interesting ques
tion is opened by a series of tables which
show the average mortality in different
professions and pursuits. Gamekeepers
are, for obvious reasons, the healthiest
class Of our whole population; clergy
men and agricultural laborers come next
and are followed by barristers; solicitors
and business, men are, less fortunate,
while at the extreme end of the scale
come unhealthy pursuits, such as print
ing and hle-grinding - English Paper.

In the Senate, on the 9Th, number Of

attorney the appointment of any person
so seeking, or appointing anyone known
to have sought, such appointment; pro
viding for the organization and regulating
of savings banks i. In the House the
bill appropriating $4,000 to build
bridge over the Sandusky River on the
Western Reserve and Maumee road was
passed. The General Appropriation bill
for 1877 was introduced. The bill for
the suppression of tramps was indef-

Nevada Does Not Want You.


+ The Virginia (Nev.) Enterpriss says:
/" Folks from abroad are coming to Vir-
ginia every day. Many of them have
barely enough money TO reach here. and
arrive in the midst of the winter with
their families, and all perfectly destitute.
There is no place here for them, nothing
for them TO do but to suffer and perhaps
die. We have already more poor people
than we know what to do with. There
are, at least, / 800 men here in Gold Hill
and this vicinity out of work There is
more suffering already than we can re-
lieve. II would take more money than
our business can spare to send these poor
creatures away, and we cannot provide
for them herel Itwould be much better
for everybody il these newcomers would
keep on in.o California where they can
be rendered comfortable during the win
ter for one-fourth of the sum necessary
to keep them from dying here, Ia tho
name Of humanity, do mot come here. Go
somewhere, anywhere, else first. You
cannot do worse than to attempt to live
