THE WORLDS DoCTORs From sta
tstlcs that have recently been published,
it would seem that there are many parts
of the world presenting greater scope
than Britain for the medical profession,
aud very tew presenting les>-it, Mt least.
any opinion may be-formpd hv the simple
process of putting the numerical strength
of the profession in each country of the
globe against its population. He'e, in
Great Britain, we are told that we have
something approaching l9,500 doctors,
which, with population OF about 80,
100000, would give medical man Tor
about 1850 people. The German empire
with its Al ,0000 600 odd, has hut IL, 800
doctors, or one for 5000 inha hitants. AT
first sight, therefore, it might be thought
that Germany is the place for good, large
practices. Obviously, however, it would
be necessary To- take into consideration
the normal condition Of health among the
Germans. Austro Hungary it seems ha,

considershly less than our number

80, ,000, goo, and it has something under

does not figure in the list. 1t would be-

twelve persons at the table, and, as she
took her seat, one Of her friends
reminded her that she made the unlucky

she had better sit at side table by
herself. The suggestion was unheedsd,

The guests begged him to break the spell
by occupying . seat at another table,
but he laughed at their nervousness and
persisted in remaining with them. On

A WoNpERFuL LAMP CHIMNEY
When grandfather Lickshngle heard i.
read from newspaper that Mrs. Peter
Ripey, OF Sherman, New York, had u
lamp chimney that they had used con-
stantly for thirteen years, he raped
savsgely on the floor with his cane and
said:
"Now, what the dickens is the use OF

So a month sped away, and it was ru.
msred tina: IN few days Mr.. and Mrs.
Welton would return. Accordingly three
days after, when the one p. NJ, train
came putting into the depot, it brought,
among other passengers, the newly mar
ried pair. A handsome carriage, drawn
by spirited pair of coal black horses,
was waiting to carry them home. Bessie
did not expect to see such = splendid con-
veysnce, but much greater surprise was
in store for her. The carriage stopped in
front Of a handsome residence Guy as
sisted her to alight, and led her up the
broad stone steps, where the door was
thrown open, and an elderly matron,
whom she recognized ss Guys mother,
weicomed her home. Never WAS bride
more happily surprised, for y luxurious
home it proved to be. The house was
furnished with every comfort which
wealth could procure, and when Guy ex-
planned, her happiness knew no bounds.
Two months previous, n bachelor bro
ther of Mrs. Welton, senior, had died,
leaving Guy sole heir to million of dol
lars. Wishing to surprise Bessie, ho had
said nothing about his good fortune, but
having purchased the house, he left his
mother to manage tho fitting up, while
he and his fair young bride were of on q
wedding tour.
When Bessie heard all, she proposed
writing to her parents. which was i'm
mediately done. They wrote of their
good fortune, asked pardon for running
away, and ended by asking MIR. and Mrs,
Gray to the dinner which would be serv-
ed ut five o'clock. The note was des-
patched by II servant, with instructions
to wait for an answer. When he return
cd he brought word that they would
come at half past four, and ut tho ap-
pointed time Mr.. and Mrs. Gray were
ushered into tho paror. Bessie was en-
braced, forgiven, Guy was cordially well
coined Ms u son, and all went merry MS
marriage bell.
Bessies after life was one of uncouded
bliss and she never had cause TO regret
that she followed the promptings OF her
true heart.

At half-past o'clock yesterday evening. In
| front OF Leonard's livery stable, on Baronne
street near Perdido, q negro named John
Smith was shot through the brain and instant
ly killed with single-barre pistol In the
| hands of young mulatto named Dixon.
The accused. after committing the shooting,
attempted to make his escape, but was captured
by the police and some citizens and locked up
in the Central Station, charged with murder.
From the statement of eye-witnesses 1t is EVIL
dent that the murder was premeditated one.
For fully half an hour the murderer Dixon,
was seen lurking about Leonard's stable and
just o few minutes before the murder Dixon
took his stand against o post In front OF the
stable.
Smith. who was O hostler for Mr. Leonard
came out of the stable With bucket Of bran In
was to go to Mr.. Leonards bran stable across
the street to milk q cow.
As soon as be reached the, banauette. Dixon
| approached him and asked lis your name
Smith" Smith replied. THAT is my name," at
TIE same time setting the buckets on the bricks z,
seized hold Of him. seuffe then ensued, dur
ing which Smith threw Dixon down. at the same
time falling on top Of him. DIXON. although
pistol from his pocket, and placing it right
against Smiths face, just under the eye, fired.
The ball ranged upward and penetrated the
the banQuette. dead.
His murderer sprang to his feet and made
off at the speed Of quarter horse. but was cap
tured as above stated. The body of the muir
dered man was taken to his residence on Per-
dido street. between Ram part and Dryades.
Il appears that although Dixon. who upon
| nesting Smith asked him II his name was Smith
was well acquainted with him, and the whole
| trouble originated from the fact that DIXON was
engaged to smiths daughter. and that he.
Smith. would not give his consent TO the mar
riage. OF late, days even the girl went back on
and inc ad % a onoe
| law, gave him the cold shoulder.
| This treatment of the mother and daughter
Guided as he could not get the girl he would
| have her fathers life.
| Yesterday evening he carried his intention
| Into effect
| The accused when interviewed said that on
| Saturday Smith called at his house and told him
| to Ak himself for he intended to fix him-and he
| fixed himself. This is all the statement he was
! willing to make.
