A young girl made an unfortunate mis-
step in Lansingburg, N. Y, last Saturday
night. She was going down a flight of
stairs and the high heel Of her shoe caught
on one of the carpeted steps, the heel was
torn off, and she fell headlong TO the bottom
of the stairway. She was carrying lighted
lamp, and finding herself falling, threw it
from her with all her force. The lamp
landed at the foot of the stairs, where it was
shivered to atoms, and the girl fell upon
her face directly on the burning wick. She
had long, flowing hair which was set in
blaze, and in spite of her etferts to extin-
guish the flames she was badly burned.
Strange to say, the oil did not take fire.

A s>ciAL sCTENCE PROBLEM.

1t is to be feared that there is a good
deal of misery in store for the mascu
line branch of the human family. 1t is
reported on good No. authority that
the relative altitude of the sexes is
changing and that the change is in favor
of the female sex, and that moreover the
relative physical strength and power of
endurance and capacity for self defense
or aggressive action is correspondingly
increased.
The number of men who fall below the
average height is found to be increasing
from year to year in several countries.
In Germany especially the standard of
height has decreased so much that it is
said to be difficult to come up to army
regulations in enlisting men. In this
country as in France the number of
small men is becoming greater every gen.
Grafton, and the number of great men
smaler.
Philosophers, in seeking the cause of
this great and alarming change, have at
last traced it to the too free use of to-
bacco. In France it was for time at
tributed to the use of absinthe before
breakfast and the sympathetic effect of
the guillotine upon married women who
witnessed its workings in the Place de la
.Greve. But the French Academy or a
majority of its members, traces this radi-
cal change to the inordinate use of to-
bacco. 1t not only affects the individual
growth, if taken early in life, but results
in all cases in stunted progeny, born
with an abnormal appetite which multi
plies the evil in each successive generation.
After taking in vast amount of evil
dence bearing on the subject the conclu-
sion is inevitable, or reasonably so, that
tobacco is the baneful influence that is
fast destroying the relative physical con-
dition of the sexes, converting mankind
into pigmies and restoring to womankind
her old-time Amazonian ascendency.
Now, if the former keep on chewing
and smoking and the latter can only
forego dipping" and snuffing, it is a
foregone conclusion that the female sex
are entering upon q new era-an era of

THE cry from the South for aid will
continue for months to come, and there
must be no relaxation of efforts. AS
nobly as the responses have been made,
it is believed that many deaths have oc-
cured that could have been prevented if
proper care and medical attendance could
have been received. The dead will be to
bury, the sick to care for, and the hun
cry to feed for at least eight weeks, and
with all that can be done the suffering,
which is now terrible, will be greatly in
creased.

CHRISTIAN BREITENBACH, the young
man who has just been arrested for the
brutal murder of his grandfather in Mich
igan, is a graduate from the Reform
School of that State He was confined
in that institution four years ago when a
mere lad of thirteen, and so rapid was his
reformation that his original sentence of
eight years was committed to four, and
he was discharged at the age of seven
teen. 1t is either fearful comment on
the teachings of the School or upon the
utter depravity of the youth, that his
first act upon regaining his liberty was
to crush the head of the venerable man
who was his nearest relative on earth.

ton, in passing over in silence the policy
of the President, is being adopted and
commended quite generally. Since MIR.
Chambers letter was issued the repubi-
cans of New Hampshire have been adj
vised by policy and anti-policy organs to
pass over the policy in silence. The Bos-
ton Traveller (anti-policy) tells the New
Hampshire republicans that "tho course
for them to pursue, is to adopt a pure re-
publican platform, and omit all reference
to the present complications, for which
they are in no wise responsible. Leave
Congress to deal with the policy meas
ures as they shall arise let the State.con-
ventions adopt republican platforms and
unite the party"
And the Boston journal (policy) hav-
ing probably seen the folly OF forcing an
endorsement of the President, now says
I'VE wish that the republicans of New
Hampshire might warmly endorse the Pres
ident's course. but if they cannot do this
without discussion AMI without insuring
defeat, let both those who believe in the
Administration aud those who cannot APP
prove its aims and purposes. make mutu-
al concessions with the assurance that
time will enable them to see alike on the
great issues. BY SO doing they will pre-
serve the organization intact and be ena-
bed to win further triumphs"
This is sound advice, but six months
ago its wisdom was not SO clearly seen as
it now is. Six months hence and as time
passes it will be better understood and APP
preciated than even now
