CousunptIsa q Disease Of Indoor
Life.

Among the natives Of Senegambia
pulmonary affections are not only rear
IL but absolutely unknown; yet single
year passed in the overcrOwded man.
pens and steerage-hells Of the slave
trader often suficed to develop the dis
ease in that most vlrulent form known
as galloping consumption; and the
brutal planters Of the Spanish Antilles
made a rule Of never buying an import
ed Negro before they had tested his
wind" j. e., trotted him up hill and
watched his ~respiratiOns. If he proved
TO be a "roarer," as turfmen term it,
they knew that the dungeon had done
its work and discounted its value &C
cOrdingly. IF a perfectly sound man Is
imprisoned for life" says Baron OAR
olay, the Belgian philanthropist, Ibis
lungs a a rule, will first snow synp
toms of disease. and shorten his misery
by q hectic decline, unless he should
commit suicide.
Our home statistics show that the
percentage Of deaths by consumption in
each State bears an exact proportion
to the greater or smaller number OF in
habitants who follow indoor Occupa-
tons, and is highest. in the factory dis.
tricts of New England, and the crowd
ed cities of our Central States. In
Great Britain the rate increases with the
latitude, and attains its maximum
height in Glasgow, where, asSir Charles
Brodie remarks, windows arc opened
only one day for every two La Birming-
ham, and every three and a half in Lon
don but going farther north the per
centage suddenly sinks from twenty
three to eleven, and even to six. If we
cross the the hfty-seventh parallel,
which marks the boundary between the
manufacturing counties Of Central
Scotland and the pastoral regions OF
the north.
1t is distressingly probable, then. to
say the least, that consumption, that
most fearful scourge Of the human
race, is not a mysterious dispensation
of Providence" nor q product of ~
outrageous climate" but the direct con-
sequence of the outrageous vi Olation OF
the physical laws If GOd.-Dr. Fetir l..

On the Ton Of AraraI.

VII s"O =" ots
The London Spectator. speaking of the
recent successful ascension Of Mount
Ararat 10y Mr.. Bryce, says:
"Mr. Bryce has given TO the world a
wonderful word picture of that amazing
and awful spectacle, of that landscape
which is now what it was before man
.crept forth on the earth, the mountains
which stand about the valleys as they
| stood when the volcanic fires which
piled them up were long ago extin-
| guished;' but ho could not tell us what
were his thoughts, his feelings there,
what the awe and yearning that came
over him in that tremendous solitude
where Nature sits enthrOned, ~serenely
kca,In, and speaks to her children Onlyin
the storm and earthquake that level
their dwellings i'm the dust
His vision ranged over the vast ex-
panse, within whose bounds are the
chain of the Caucasus, dimly made out,
but Kazbek, ElbruZ, and the mountains
of 34ghestan visible, with the line OF
the Caspian Sea upon the horizon; TO
the north, the huge extinct volcano of
Ala Coz, whose three peaks inclOse a
snow patched crater, the dim plain of
Erivan, with the silver river winding
through it; westward the Taurus ran
gesX and northwest, the upper valley of
the Araxes, TO be traced as far as Ami,
ancient capital of the Armenian King
dom; the great Russian fortress of
Alexandropol, and the hill where KaIs
stands-peaceful enough when the brave
climber looked out upon this wonderful
spectacle.
While it WAS growing upon him, not
indeed in magniicence, but in compre-
feasibility, while the eye was still I'M
satisfied with gazing the m~ist-curtain
dropped, EMBODIED him, and shut him up
alone with the awful mountain top.
The " that fell upon me- he says,
with the sense of utter loneliness, made
tim1e pass unnOticed, anG l might have
fingered long in asort of dream, had not
the piercing cold that thrilled through
every limb recalled me to a sense of the
risks delay might involve Only four
hours of daylight remained, the thick
mist WAS an added danger, the ice-ax
marks were his only guide, for the COM
pass IS useless on a volcanic mountain
like Ararat, with iron in the rocks. The
descent was made in safety, but by the
time Mr.. Bryce came in sight of the
spot, yet far off, where his friend had
halted, the sun had got behind the
southwestern ridge of the mountain,
and his gigantic shadow had fallen
across the great Araxes plain below
whRe the red mountains of Media, far
to the southeast, still glowed redder than
ever, then turned swiftly to a splendid
purple in the dying light
At o'clock he reached the bivOuac
and rejoined his friend, who must have
looked with strange feelings into the
eyes which had looked upon such won
drous sights since sunrise. Three days
later Mr.. Bryce was at the Armenian
monastery of E~tchmiadzin, near the
northern foot of Ararat, and was pre-
scented TO the archimandrite who rules
The house. This EngliohmaD,' sand The
Armenian gentleman who was acting
as Interpreter, says he has assembled to
the top of Massis' (Ararat.) The ven
cradle man smiled sweetly. and replied
wish gentle decisiveness, That cannO'
be. No one has ever been there. 1t Is
impossible"

One day last week, while a small.
girl, eleven years old, was after her
COW Oh one of our back roads, about a
mile from town, she was followed and
forcibly outraged by young man
about seventeen years of age. After
getting away from the brute, she ran
sobbing all the way home, and from
the bodily injuries, fright, and fatigue
of the race,was a good deal prostrated
The young man was promptly ar
rested and brought before Esquire
Brown, who held him in $500 bail for
his appearance at next term of court,
in default of which he was committed
to Jail at Ridgway. There is another
young man in this town if put in to
keep him company no injustice would
be done.

From the Harrisburgh Patriot 18th inst.
The LarOS Poisoning Case.

The supreme court yesterday morning
rendered an opinion affirming the iudg-
ment of the Northampton county court in
the case of Allen c. Laros, who poisoned
his father, mother and five sisters and
brothers, a grandchill and an aged man
named Moses Schug, on March 81, 1876
The father and mother and Mr.. Schug
died from the effects of the poison, while
the children all recovered. The case was
argued on a writ of error before the su-
preme court at its last meeting in Philadel-
phia, during which a number of verv
delicate questions were presented for the
consideration of that tribunal, Hence the
prOtraetsd postpOnement of the decision.
The poisoning of the Laros family created
Il great sensation at Easton and elsewhere
at the time. The father and mother of
LarOs died the next day after the poison
had been administered, and Schug on the
second day. Laros, after suspicion pointed
toward him as the perpetrator Of the crime,
directed the officers where to look for a
sum of money -$340-he had taken from
his father and Mr.. Schug after the commits.
sion of the crime, Allen Laros was for
merly a school teacher and had borne a good
name. The plea of insanity was attempted
TO be established by his counsel, but the
jury who tried him, brought in a verdict of
murder in the first degree, and the supreme
court to-day sustained the action of the
lower court, and another will be added to
the long list of executions already an
nounced to take place.
