NEGRO MORTALITY.
The Death Rate Among the Southern Me-
groes-Are the Negroes Going the
Wav of the Indians?

groeS-Are the Negroes Gong the
Way of the Indians?
The rate of mortality among the
colored people of some Of the cities OF
the South is indeed startling, and we'll
worthy the attention of all thoughtful
men. In Richmond, for instance, the
average of deaths among the negroes
is fnlly twice as great as among the
whites. During the week ending
Aug. %, fourteen white persons died
there and twenty-five colOred. For
the corresponding week last year the
official report shows that the total
number of deaths among the whites
was only eleven, while of the colored
population twenty-eight persons died.
of Charleston, New Orleans, Memphis,
Savannah, Augusta, Atlanta, and
Mobile tell the same startling story.
The average of deaths among the
blacks is three or four times as great
as among the whites. In a recent
interesting communication on this
subject, which was published IN one
of the Memphis papers, it appears
that the official mortuary reports OF
that city show that during the year
1879 there were $50 death among the
| white population and COL among the
negroes. In other words, considering
the proportion of white and colOred
inhabitants, the death rate among the
negroes was nearly four times as great
as among the whites. During the
months of July and August Of this
year the official reports show that l2o
whites died and JAS negroes, or, con-
sidering the proportion Of the popula-
ton, more than five negroes to one
white man. The case of the city OF
Memphis is not an insulated one. AS
we have already stated, reports
similar to the above come from all
parts of the South. The cause which
lead to this terrible death rate among
the colored people need not long be
sought after. They are only too
apparent to those who are conversant
with the modes of life Of the negroes
of the cotton States. They neglect
or starve their offspring, abandon the
sick to their own resources, indulge
every animal passion to excess, and
when they have money spend their
nights in the most disgusting and
facilitating debauches. All these
facts naturally lead to the question,
are the negroes going the way of the
Indian, are they being ''civilized from
off the face of the earth i''-New York
times.

LITERARY
TEMPTED BY SATIN
How One Dobsonwas Induced to Kiss
Girl Against her Will.

At Wilkesbare, Pennsylvania, the
dull monotony of the court proceedings
was enlivened one day last week In
the case of the Commonwealth against
Dobson, in which the defendant was
accused of assault upon young lady
named Heller, by kissing her against
her will. The plaintiff complained
that Dobson, Shy force of arms, NAL
ice aforethought, instigated by Satin,
did then and there violently assault,
wavlay." etc. She told her story in a
plain, straightforward kind Of way, to
the effect that she was enjoying the
evening breezes while leaning over
her fathers fence, and that William
Dobson came along, seized her by the
hands, and forcibly pulling her over
the palisade. committed the assault tor
which she claimed redress at the hands
of the law. 4 sister of the complainant
testified that she did not see the
alleged improperly, because OF the
darkness, and she being in another
part of the yard, but she heard kiss,
or something that sounded like KISS.
and knew that something was going
on.
Dobson claimed the privilege OF
being his own witness, and he told the
part of the story omitted by Miss
Heller and her sister. He is jolly
specimen of an Englishman. His
narrative of the occurrence in which
he had become involved runs as fol

SCIENCE.


Professor @. c.. Marsh, Of New
Haven, recently delivered before the
American Association for the Adyace-
ment of Science an address on the
introduction and succession OF
Vertebrate Life in America, Accor-
ding to present knowledge, he stated,
no vertebrate life is known to have
existed on this continent in the
archaan. cambrian, and sllurlan,
periods, yet during this time more
than half the thickness OF American
stratified rock was deposited. Fishes
are known in the upper silnrian OF
Europe, however, and there is there
fore a probability that they Will be
vet discovered in our strata OF the
same age. if not at a still lower horizon.
Passing through the various geological
periods, Professor Marsh noted the
extinction or increase Of various
orders of fishes, and then, referring to
the amphibia, stated that the latter
are so nearly allied to the ganold
fishes as to leave little doubt OF their
descent from some member OF that
group. The earliest evidence of their
existence on this continent is IN the
sub-carboniferous. where footprints
have been found which probably
were made by labyrinthodonts. the
most ancient representatives Of the
class.
ORIGIN OF THE BIRDS.
During the mesozoic period some OF
the strangest forms Of reptillian life
made their appearance and became

were the parent stock of all birds. Pro

After hatsupreme moment Capt. Rouace-
VILE was conscious of nothing until he
came to himself on board the saving ship.
Said the Reverend, concluding:
There was one little moment OF time
in which that raft could be visible from
the ship, and only one. If that one lit
tie feeting moment had passed unfruit-
ful, those mems doom was sealed. AS
close as that does God shave events fore
ordained from the beginning of the
world. When the sun reached the wa
ters edge that day the Captain of that
ship was sitting on deck reading his
prayer-book. The book fell; he stopped
to pick it up and happened to glance at
the sun. In that instant that far off raft
appeared for second against the red
disk, its needle-llke oar and diminutive
signal cut sharp, and black against the
bright surface, and in the next instant
was thrust away into the dusk again.
But that ship, that Captain, and that
pregnant instant had had their work ap-
pointed for them in the dawn of time
and could not fail of the performance.

day or two ago she received reply that
child suiting her description had been
