to every 600 persons. The average In France
Is one doctor to every 1900 OF the population
in Germany, one to 5000. Nor can we dis
prove the charge OF bad health by represent
ing that our medical department Is over
stocked with young doctors without practice.
Our commercial returns show that we import
more medicines In proportion TO the popu-
lation than any other people, while the inter-
nal revenue receipts make most alarming
exhibit of the manner in which we devour
patent medicines of all kinds.
The Globes charge is beyond doubt true.
The census returns, however, show at the
same time that this flood Of doctors and this
amount Of sickness have only recently visited
this country. In the good old days of half O
century ago we had only our just portion of
medical advisers; took only our proper share
Of physic Since the war, however, we have
changed all this, and have become hypochon-
driacs, devouring medicine as If it were food
The figures given by the London Globe would
indicate that the number Of physicians In any
country is very fair test of the health of it's
citizens. Judged by this test, the Germans
are physically the strongest and healthiest
race In Europe.

Rather novel experiment In the way of a
prohbitory liquor law, for the prevention Of
intoxication In Ontario county, has just
passed the New York Legislature. Whether
Ontario county is the only one where people
get drunk, or where 1t is desirable to have
everybody sober, or whether 1t Is too
densely populated and this law has been
found necessary to encourage emigration
therefrom, we can't say; but for some reason
the bill applies only to that county. 1t pro-
vides that any magistrate on the application
Of a wife, shall give notice by advertisement
In a newspaper to all liquor dealers not to sell
liquor, under q heavy penalty, to her dissi-
pated husband.
The argument of Mr.. Jones, the member
from Oneida, against the bill was hardly less
remarkable than the bill itself. He insisted
that liquor selling and liquor drinking was
perfectly right and proper, and that legisla-
ton based on any other hypothesis was oil
wrong. He had been drinking all his life,
and expected to drink good whisky as long as
he could get 1t. He specially objected to the
application OF the word Intoxicating to
spirit,ious liquors. He said it was SANDER
and dishonest evasion, by which an oppro-
brium that attached properly to degraded
humanity was sought to be applied to a most
excellent thing. There is such thing in the
world, argued the sturdy Welshman. as
gluttony. A fine, fat turkey, roasted to
crisp brown and stuffed with oysters, Is deli
cious eating, and partaken Of In reason could
do no harm. But a man could stuff himself
on it and get sick, and even die. Would any
one call the turkey "gluttonous food, though,
for that reason? Certainly not; and, by an
alogy, 1t was slanderous to call good, honest
old rye intoxicating liquor
Mr.. Jones' logic appears unanswerable, but
the bill for Ontario county passed notwith-
standing, and now the papers are bidding for
the publication of the notices required by law
while every married woman in Ontario
county has already spring bonnet

The London Globe comes to the conclusion
that the Americans are the sickliest race of
people in the world-not that the mortality
OF this country is unusually high, but that
there are more maladies and more sickness
here than anywhere else. The statistics it
brings up to support this proposition are in
disputable The excessive supply of doctors
in the United States is simply appalling. If
we had only double or treble the number of
physicians and surgeons as the rest Of the
civilized globe, there might be grounds for
denying this charge Of bad health; but, as it
is, there seems to be the best Of reasons
for believing that the Globe Is correct,
and that we are an unhealthy and
sickly race. There are no less than
62sS3 doctors in the United States, one

A use for the despised heather has at last
been found. In Virginia City, Nevada, the
other day, it was discovered that there was
Chinaman in Jail who had hired himself out
as substitute for fellow Celestial on trial
for murder. The substitute had agreed, for a
certain sum Of money, to take all the risks
Of the trial for murder, and if found guilty, to
allow himself to be hung without complaint
and without making known his own iden-
tity. This fact ought to make the Chinese
popular on the Pacific slope and open
new field to them. 1t is true, thanks
to the present jury system, appeals to a su-
perior court, executive clemency, and rotten
and RECONSTRUCTED jails that the chances of
criminal escaping capital punishment are
very large, especially if he be rich, but the
substitute system would altogether relieve
the murderer from all possibilities of punish
ment, ease his mind and restore his con-
ldence. Anybody with $3.50 to buy a Chinese
substitute could practice his little hon.
icidal ways without any risk at all. Here
is much better field for our Monaghan
friends than either washing or mining, and
one in which they would not come in conflict
with white labor.

NEW 0RLEaN-, APRIL i. 1878.

It is not at oil extraordinary that General
Butler should have rolled his eyes with
mingled horror and surprise when, in read
ing the naval appropriation BILL the other
day, he encountered this astonishing item
"For forage for public horses and horses be-
longing to the field and staff officers OF the
marine corps, $4,000" Evidently Capt. Jinks
Of the "hotss marlnes' was no wild creation
OF poetic Imagination but stern and OK
pensive reality. The United States had, it
was plain from this item, large and expen-
sive s'horse marine force, of which the
country has been in perfect ignorance until
to-day.
The Essex statesman naturally grew ex-
cited over his discovery, and demanded Of the
Secretary Of the Navy an explanation OF this
naval cavalry where were they and what
did they dor The investigation brought out
some other points almost as interesting as
the original discovery itself. There was,
II seemed, not only large sea cavalry
force. but Q brigadier general Of horse
marines with a large, gaudily-attired and
expensive staff Why brigadier general
of marines was wanted, no one could ex-
plain; there had never been, 1t was shown,
ut any time over 300 marines Oh any
vessel Of the United States, and these scarcely
needed the supervision Of brigadier and
staff. This brigadier general 1t was further
found, is q sort OF court official,
never leaving Washington, and whose prin-
cipal duty seems to BIZ to attend balls cele-
brations and festivities Of all kinds, and add
dignity and splendor thereto. It was found
also that the horses accredited to the marine
department were his carriage and riding
horses, and that there really did not exist, as
Butler suspected, a sea cavalry regiment.
This explanation Of the mystery must
satisfy Congress. That body at first APP
peared indisposed to make the country pay
the expense Of the horse marines, but now,
when 1t learns that the money is meant
for no such ridiculous purpose, but to pro-
vide the carriage Of a brgadier general of
marines with suitable horses, IL must cease

a little Returning Board might be useful
just now In the elections going on in Kansas
for county seats. The voting capacity of the
average American citizen is extraordinarily
large, but on a county seat election, particu-
larly In Kansas, where there Is only one side
represented in each town, and no one to chal-
lenge voters, the number of ballots that can
find their way into the boxes Is perfectly alarm
ing. Usage, a back, semi-settled county of
Kansas, had an election last week to decide
whether Usage City, Burlingame or Lyndon
should be the county seat The result of the vote
was 1745 for Lyndon, zoos for Burlingame and
1904 for Usage City; and the latter was ac-
cordingly officially declared the county seat.
The injustice OF this decision is manifest, in
view of the fact that both the other towns
cast larger vote than the entire population
Of the county. They are, therefore, inclined
to intimate that there was some cheating GO
ing on In Usage City.
Kansas however, is not the only State
displaying voting eccentricities. In 1869,
Douglas county, Illinois, had a similar cleo
tion on the county seat question between Ar
cola and Tuscola. The Arcola fellows being
honest men and knowing that their opponents
would cheat, resorted to little stratagem in
the interest OF fair dealing. They concluded,
to return few Thousand more votes
for Arcola than there we're In the whole
county, and thus, even IL they did not sue
coed In carrying the day, at least prove the
election a farce and thus invalidate 1t. So
they hauled their returns to the canvassing
place in an OK cart, but only to find that Tus-
cola led them by more votes than there
were in the whole Congressional district.
They growled a little at first and limited that
there had been some cheating going on, but
finally gave in like sensible men and surren-
dered to Tuscola.
Having no further need for our ex-Return-
ing Board down here, either in or out of the
penitentiary, it might be shipped North with
profit, to take tour of Kansas and Illinois,
to Elk up the votes in these States. They
evidently need the mathematical and electoral
abilities of Wells and Anderson up there.
