Rev. TALMADGE is sensational, and
sometimes has novel way of stating a
truth, but he generally manages to do it
in pretty convincing manner. Last
night he discussed the publication of
scandal cases in newspapers, and re-
marked: "You blame papers for publish
ing scandals, but if all newspapers save
one should refuse to publish anything
improper, you would drop them and buy
that one sheet. Most of you could not
get along without your daily diet of hor-
hors." Mr.. Talmage understands that
with an editor it is not question of
whether he desires to publish scandal
OF not. The public makes an imperative
demand, and he must furnish it or see
his readers 60 elsewhere to learn the
news.

THE New York Assembly, by vote of
seventy-fve to thirty, declared biennial
sessions of the Legislature to be prefera-
Bile to annual sessions. Ohio people
agree with the New York Assembly, and
our Constitution has a provision in ac-
cordance with this sentiment, but we are
annually inflicted with session of the
Legislature, Just the same as if the Con-
stitution required it.

A WAN WITH THIRTY CEHHL.
DREN.

The Stroll family, of this county, is
probably the largest family in the United
States The head of the house is Nicholas
Stroll, Pennsylvania German, now about
rs years old. By three wives he has had
30 children, 27 of whom are still living.
His first wife presented him with 8, his
second with II, and his third with IL.
The youngest child is now years old, and
was born when its father was 73 years old.
Of the 27 children 19 are married, and
their families average about children.
Mr.. Joel Stroll, one of the well-known
farmers in the lower end, and child of his
father's first wife, has II children, and is
not an old man. He is the father of two
pairs of twins, a distinction which his
father, Mr.. Nicholas Stroll, never attained.
If the families should gather together there
would be over 200 persons. They nearly
all reside in this county. Old MIR. Stroll
is still hearty, and bids fair to live many
years. -Mauch Calak Coal Gasettc.

THERE is very laudable emulation
among the different hospitals Of New
York City to keep their rates of mortal
ity down to the lowest possible figure
Their managers, however, in their zeal to
make good record sometimes resort to
means that don't seem to the unprac-
ticed eye quite so laudable. On Satur-
day last teamster, who had been under
treatment at the Chambers-street Hospi-
tai for pneumonia, was shipped to the
Bellevue Hospital, When the ambulance
reached the latter place the patient was
dead. 1t is alleged that when removed
from Chambers street he was known to
be in dying condition, and that the
transfer was ordered for the simple pur-
pose Of reducing the death rate of the
hospital. The patient, out of regard to
the interests of both institutions, was
considerate enough to die in transitu.
And yet the public demand an investiga-

Mr.. JAMES T. FIELDS delivered his
lecture, GA Plea for Cheerfulness," be-
fore the New York Teachers Association
few evenings ago. Mr.. Fields wants
the teachers to inculcate in their pupils
principles of cheerfulness. He argues
that Americans are the saddest looking
people on the face of the earth, and
says foreigner on first arriving
here thinks some great calamity has
befallen the nation. In the course
of the lecture Mr.. Fields said:
'1f were wealthy would endow pro-
fessorship of cheerfulness in one of our
colleges. l think l would pay the pro-
fessor about $40, 900 a year, and | would
make Oliver Wendell Holmes the incum-
bent. Every day he should assemble
the students, tutors, professors and all,
and give them lessons in cheerfulness.
would select Holmes on account of his
exquisite culture and his exquisite way
of imparting it to others" In speaking
of mourning, Mr.. Fields said that white
would be a much more appropriate
color than black, unless people
were hypocrites in their faith.
Women were more habitually cheerful
than men; men "cave in" quicker, and
SO 81 am and always will be a woman
sutfragist," he said. The greater part of
the lecture was made up Of personal rem
iniscences and humorous anecdotes, but
from the extracts that found their way
into print we infer that it was very in
teresting discourse and one calculated to
impress some lessons upon the minds of
the teachers that may be of advantage to
them as we'll as to the pupils. Cheerful
ness is always in place, except at funer-
ais and on few other occasions but it is
especially fitting in the school-room,

top he has painted in flaming letters:

and makes the premises look generally
ridiculous until the debt is paid. Then
Billy takes fifty per cent. of it, and gives
the rest to his client.
Recently, Billy Bangs was arrested. He
had gone and stood around DR.. Dash's
office few days before. He called three
or tour times, ALWAYS showing his high
.nat5to passers-by. Byand-by, DR.. Dash
got angry, and he went and kicked Mr..
Bangs out-kicked him clear across the
street.
Dr.. Dash testified that Billy Bangs
had damaged his good name !, that he
got all the neighbors to laugh at him,
and that he was constantly doing this to
good citizens Of Philadelphia who failed
to pay all their little bills.
The result was Bills .acquittal. The
court said they had no right to regulate
Billy Bangs's hat, and that he could wear
plug hat all coverd with letters, with
with town clock on it, if he wanted to.
So Billy is now the terror of everybody

Thousands in San Francisco, would
starve if charitable institutions did not
give them their daily bread. Last month
one single such institution gave shelter
to 416 persons, distributed 10000 rations,
and wood, coal, shoes, clothes, and medi-
cines to $50 families; yet many were left
without the necessaries of life. Real es-
tate has fallen SO per cent; Communism
is growing apace. On the spot these
woes are attributed to over speculation
and cheap Chinese labor, which cuts the
grass from under the feet Of European
Americons and lives on it in luxury un-
dreamed of in the flowery land.
The record of failures for the first quar-
ter of 1878 does not compare fayorably
with that of 1877 or 1876. The number
is put at 8, 1855, and the amount of Iiabil-
tiles at 82,O78, 1926. In the same time in
1877, 2 $50 failures were reported, with
aggregate liabilities of $50, 53s, O7O, while
in 1876 the number was 2,8O6, and the
liabilities $64,644,156. The Mercantile
Agency circular that gives these figures
explains that the winter through which.
we have just passed has been exception
ally severe in its effect upon retail trad
ers. The abundant crops have not
quickened trade as much as was antici-y
pated Stocks have not been salable, and
the shrinkage of resources has been enor-
nous.
