WHERE AND OF WHAT WE DIE.

During 1880 sixty-eight cities of the
United States made weekly death reports
to the National Board of Health, and in
its bulletin OF February 10, 1881, the
Board aggregates and tabulates the con-
tents of these reports, exhibiting the re-
suits for the year. From this table it ap-
pears that Vallejo, California, was the
healthiest place reported in 1880, and Nor
folk, Virginia, the unhealthiest. The av-
erage life in Vallejo was S3.5 years, and
only one person in 1000 of population died
of consumption, while in Norfolk the av-
erage life was only 279 years, and one
person in 24l Of population died of con-
sumption. The aggregate population OF
these sixty. eight cities is 1853, 937, the
average duration of life in them was A. 5
years, and there was one death from con-
sumption tor every 326 of population, and
one death from acute disease of the lungs
for every 429 of population. In other
words, of every 100 deaths "a were from
lung diseases, and of these II were from
consumption and 10 from acute diseases
of the lungs. Four of the best cities
for health were Yonkers, n. y, average
life 20 years Omaha Neb., average 5S
years; Utica, N. Y, 675 years Keokuk,
Iowa, g. years and four of the worst
cities were Jacksonville, Fla, 80 years !;
Vicksburg Miss, "a S years Charleston,
S. c., 81 8 years, and Savannah, Ca, 30.6
years. la Boston the average life was
~ 3 years, deaths by consumption l in
246, by acute lung disease in 1856 of pop.
ulation; in New York, average life 81
years, death by consumption in 2j4, and
in acute lung disease in 260 in Phiia-
delphia, life 47.S years, consumption ! in

difference between New York and Phila-
delphia In the general death rate and in that
from consumption is great in that from
acute lung disease it is striking Next to
lung diseases diarrheal disorders cause the
greater number of deaths. In every 100
deaths from all causes in the 6S cities 10
are from diarrheal disturbances, and there
is one death from this source in every 1876
inhabitants.

The Census Office comments on these fig
ures as follows 1.-The great relative gains
during the decade have apparently been made
in the South-the formerl slave-holding
States. OF the nine of these States which
have gained, eight stand at the head of the
list, having made relative gains ranging
from 944 to nearly IL coo. It is believed by
the Census Office, however, that these APP.
parent gains are due, in great measure. to
the imperlections of the census of 1870. I'm
der the conditions which prevailed at that
time, it is probable that much larger pro-
portion of negroes were omitted than of
whites. OF the former slave States
which have lost, Texas and Florida
lead. Both these States have re-
ceived heavy white immigration from
other parts OF the country, which has more
than overbalanced whatever gain in colored
population may have been made They have
been the scene of rapid development, and
thus the rapid decrease of blacks is to be ac-
counted for-not by an exodus or dying out,
but by an infusion of whites. The move
ment OF blacks in the Northern and Western
States has apparently besn Of little compare
tive account. The migration of negroes has
not attained to such dimensions as to be per-
ceptible here. The States from which the
exodus principally took place Mississippi,
Louisiana and North Carolina-have ali APP
parently gained heavily in relative proper
ton of blacks, while Kansas, to which the
major part went, has lost in proportion to
its increase in population, and Indiana has
gained but slightly"
North American Indiaus" means those

of other Indians has not been reported.

DRUNKENNESS IN GERMANY.
London Telegraph.

For many centuries past the children
of Teut have endured with placid equan-
unity the SCOTS and jeers of their neigh
bors, whether OF Latin or Salvonic ex-
traction, aimed at their beer-drinkinr
proclivities; for they were hitherto com.
fortably convinced that the assiduous
consumption of malt liquors was by no
means Incompatible with o high standard
of national sobriety. On the other hand, ,
among continental critics of British
manners and customs none have 80 bit
terly or persistently denounced the prac-
tices of tippling and dram drinking, as
vices peculiar to the natives of these
isles, than have German writer's, grave as
we'll as gay. The gin-absorbing capaci-
ties Of English operatives have aroused
the righteous wrath of many q Teutonic
journalist, in whose comments upon his
own countrymen's amazing feats in the
way OF swallowing seven or eight gallons
OF ale at sitting, his readers might in
vain search for snv expression Of con-
demnation.. It would appear, however,
that whether! or not the Germans at times
past were justified by facts in laying
claim to conspicuously sober people,
the Germans of to-day are unquestiona-
bly, open to the same reproach that they
have been accustomed to lavish in such
profusion upon Englishmen. We learn
from Berlin that 80 enormous has been
the increase of excessive drunkenness
within the last few years that the imper-
ial chancellor has just submitted to the
federal council bill devised by him for
the repression Of habit which "has be-
come q national scandal" Hard times
and cheap spirits are terrible promoters
Of inebriety, and it is more thnn proba-
ble that the severe trials through which
German agriculture, commerce and in
dustry have recently passed, and the low
prices at which corn and potato brandy
are purchasable throughout the Father.
land. may have brought about the de.
plorable prevalence Of drunkenness with
which Prince Bismarck progresses to
grapple by exceptional legislation.

We have always hold that the Hills is

The day had been as warm as the aver
age fourth Of July and no signs of a
storm were visible at the time OF retiring,
IL 30 p. M. The next morning the poo.
pie OF Custer were astonished to find at
least two inches of snow on the ground,
but the phenomenon was not in the
the quantity, but the unknown quality
which the snow, possessed. Dogs life
less bodies were seen lying in profusion
in every alley in the place, and the only
explanation Of their condition is that the
snow contained some poisonous sub:
stance, as parties who we're witnesses oi
their uHtimely end state that the dogs
would lap the snow and Immediately lie
down and die. An analysis of the melt
ed snow disclosed NO poisonous substanc
es, and the supposition il that it evapor
ated and disappeared, as the crystals. o
flakes merged into water. Although
rather dangerous kind OF snow storm
