The Cost Of Dying.

The population of the world at the
close of the year 1876 is estimated at
1 ,423, 917, 900. Admitting that the av-
erage duration of life is thirty-thre
years, the deaths will be 43, 455, O60 a
year. According to the most reliable
data, it costs about an average Of 800
to defray the expenses of Christian
funeral. IF, therefore, all the nations Of
the earth were Christians, the funeral
bills would amount to 81 $40, sos, 900 an
nually. The question that will at an
early day confront economists will be,
"Cannot some way be devised to die
cheaper?" Evidently it costs too much
to get decently under the sod-too much
for rosewood collins, plumed hearses.
monumental marble, fashionable GEM
etery lots and mourning costumes.
Fashion is too supreme at funerals. The
tickle goddess is too potential in dictat-
ing the fit and fabric OF STROUD and
winding sheet and the style Of silver
plates and nails. Mourning goods are
manufactured to order and graded first,
second, and third; every sigh has its pc
culiar tint until at last the world OBJ
serves that the days Of sadness are past
and the "deaI departed are forgotten.
The poor can hardly afford to die, rude
country coffin no longer answers the
purpose. The style of burial case is a
matter of deep concern, and IN many
cases the living are robbed of the abso-
lutte necessaries Of life that the dead may
have a fashionable funeral. Speeula-
ton in cemetery lots is now a feature in
real-estate transactions, and there are
aristocratic avenues in the cities of the
dead as we'll as in the cities Of the liv-
ing. Pride erects it's monuments on the
grand thoroughfares, and the gaping
multitude discuss the former opulence
OF those who lie under sculptured
marble. The population of the United
States is estimated at 10000, 900, which
will give, according to accepted death
rates, about 1,250,000 deaths annually.
Estimating the average cost of a funeral
at 800 we have death tax of about
1925, 900, 600 annually, OF something
over So PER capita for every man, woman
and child in the country. Manifestly
this is too large. Common sense de-
mands that it should be reduced. The
discussion Will hardly be undertaken by
the undertakers, and the livery-stable
men may regard it somewhat hackneyed,
nevertheless the fact stands that it costs
too much to e-Indianap01is Sen

MERCURIAL FRENCHMEN.

personalities In the French Assembly
Lively Scenes
Edward King, the correspondent of
the Boston Journal, thus describes a
scene IN the French Assembly: It was
emlnently fitting that Gambetta should
De lie Broghe's antagonist in the combat
OF yesterday. The great orator, al
though suffering somewhat from hoarse-
ness, was IN fine vein. During his
speech the Chamber was from time to
time an extraordinary spectacle. The
Bonapartists ragged and made every
effort In their power to silence the ora
tor. When he came to that point IN his
speech where he said that the Govern
ment had gained forty seats by theft
and fraud" such row as one never sees
IN America, even at the primary meet.
ing, occurred. "The investigation will
establish this" saio Gambetta. "Take
back the word theft yelled Paul de
Cassagnac. CT have no orders to re-
ceive from you," Numbered Gambetta.
"You will get them from the Chamber"
cried Paul. "Let the orator explain
himself" said Grevy, the President. A
little later M. Creneo d'Ornano, pict-
uresque Bonapartist, who recently an
nounced that his party would make
such paste out OF the republicans that
even the dogs wouldn't touch it, inter
rupted Gambetta again, asking the ora
tor if he thought he was " still in the
Cafe Procope, or in the sites which he
used to frequent" $50 care for the
kennel where you are preparing your
republican paste, NJ. Creneo d'Ornano, !"
was Gambetta's contemptuous response.
At this juncture NJ. Creneo d'Ornano ran
down from his seat to the foot of the
tribune stairs, and shrieked out provo
cation at Gambetta. The noise on both
Right and Left was almost deafening
Finally NJ. Grevy, in his stern impair
tiality, made Gambetta take back his
phrase about theft and fraud" The
orator did 50, as he thought it prema-
ture; but he remarked, "When the in
vestigation gets to work you will have
the proof of what I have advanced. "
Which reminds one of the actor in the
opera bouffe, who says, 81 take back
what 1 said, but maintain it." Poor NJ
Grevy was SO much called upon that
his work was tripled. At one point Cas-
sagnac said, "Mr. President, we cannot
tolerate such language" "Do you not
know how to tolerate anything from
others, sir ?'' inquired Grevy, imper-
| turbably. "Gambetta," sad a French
WIlteI, ueecl1OluS Hill itS Ho appeared On
q somewhat similar occasion some years
since, "was magnificent in the midst of
the tumult. The same phrase we'll de-
scribes his attitude of yesterday. Plant
ing himself solidly in the tribune, and
setting forth his tremendous forearm,
which at times seems more eloquent
than his words, he kept solidly at his
work until he had crushed his adverse
ries. During the latter half of his
speech not one of them opened his
mouth. The only interruption to the
majestic stream of oratory, relentlessly
bearing forward the impartial truth to
the high light of day, was an occasional
outburst of passionate applause from the
| Left and Center.

Dickens Little Folks.

Nothing has given the writings of Charles
Dickens SO strong hold upon the hearts of
parents as the well-known excellence of his
portrayal of children and their interests. These
delineations, having received the approval of
readers OF mature age, the different child char
acters have been detached from the large mass
of matter with which they were originally con-
nected, and presented in the authors own lam
guage to a new class of readers, to whom the
little volumes will be attractive as the larger
originals have proven to the genera, public. A
series of twelve volumes has been prepared,
presenting among others the following char
acters ''Smike,'' from Nicholas Nickleby
" Little Nell" from The Old Curiosity Shop
" The Child Wife," from David Copperfield /;
fThe Boy Joe." from Pickwick Papers, ETC.,
etc. new edition of the first volume of the
series, Little Paul" from Dombey and Son;
has just been issued, illustrated by barley, and
attractively bound. The other volumes will
shortly follow. Sent postpaid for $1.00; or

Poor Robins 4 tIHdnGc for December, 1871
There is probably no single word that
is seen in SO many languages as the word
yule. How it originated or from what
it was derived photographers have found
it difficult to determine. Some consider
It corruption of the Latin proper name
Julius, and regard it as perhaps a com
pliment paid Julius Caesar by the Brit
tons for Introducing the Roman Satur-
MALTA in Britain during the period of the
Roman occupation of that country.
Others, among whom is the venerable
Bede. supposed it derived from the same
source as the word wheel, because it
marks the time of, or occurs few days
after, the return of the sun to the winter
solstice.
Originally, it seems, the term "yule -
was employed TO denote either of two
great festivals-that OF "Lammas - or
Z" First Fruits, :" which fell on the LIST of
August, or the Christmas tide. falling,
as we know, on the 25th of December.
But generally it had reference to the lat
ter; and, as Noah or Saturn was recog-
nized not only as the god of the deluge,
but the patron OF husbandry, it was
thought meet to honor him by feasting,
mirth, revelry, freedom from care and
good-fellowship. The transition of honor
to Christ is attributed to the decretaI
letters of Pope Telesphorus, who died
A. D. 13S Since that time throI1pho11t
the entire history OF the Christian
Church, its observance has been singu-
larry noted as an intermingEng of the
sacred with the carnal, solemn religious
ceremonies with much that savors of the
ultra-convivial, while encouraging broth
erly kindness, forgiveness, generosity,
charity and all the nobler virtues that
attach to the human race.
Among the early Christians. Christ
mas, or Yule, was the most movable of
feasts. 1t was frequently confounded
with the Epiphany, or Twelfth Day, and
IN the Eastern Church was celebrated in
the months of April and May. But in
the fourth century, after urgent en-
treaties, st. Cyril of Jerusalem obtained
an order from Pope Julius L, the reign
ing Fontf, for an investigation to be
made, and some particular day to be de
clded upon SIS that of the Savior's nativ-
1ty. After much inquiry and patient re-
search, and despite certain climatic and
historical objections which cast doubt
upon the correctness of their decision.
1t was agreed by the theologians of the
Eastern and Western churches that the
25th Of December should be observed as
the anniversary of Christ's birth.

A Remarkable Dog.

Old Frank" is hunting dog that
used to hang around the newspaper
offices of ST. Joseph, Mo. Mr.. Joseph
Crane took cold Frank" to his house.
Mr.. Crane had an old hen, with seven or
eight chickens that had been Matched
out couple of weeks. For some cause
the unnatural mother deserted her off
spring, and for nearly day they wan
dered around unprotected. The dog
noticed the helpless condition of the
young brood, and he Immediately took
them under his wing; and he has since
continued to care for them ia the most
affectionate manner, leading them around
in the daytime and curling himself
around them at night. The chickens
are doing well, and seem perfectly coz
tented with their new protector.
