Mr.. Riddle-You may state in that connection

sort of a fellow he is; don't know whether he will
have anything crooked or not; ;" and ne says, Oh,
he'll he will buy anything" Whether he told Mr..
Campbell don't know.
Mr. Riddle-Do you know how many Campbell

Mr. Farnham-I don't know, but sold the bal

disposition of all of them?
| Mr.. Farnham-Ics, sir. Hold on; wait minute.
l went to Mr.. J. N. Starr once with some but
don't believe he took any. All that sold was to

LaEaer to give to Peter Campbell.
| Mr. Riddle-And you disposed of all?
| Mr. Farnham-Ycs, sir Al the time was sorry

member that VIII throw any light upon it?
Mr.. Faruham-Well. no. do not know that
can say anything more. 1t seems to me as if had
said all that there is possible to tell It is frank
and homes: statement l acknowledge to have
taken them myself, and to have Cancelled and sold
them.
Mr.. Riddle-They were taken in February or
March?
Mr. Farnham-Yes sir: 1876. I think il might
have been carrier but no. later.
MI Riddlc-Up until how recently did you re-
main in the District?
Mr.. FaTnhan-A year ago last August left
the District.
Mr. RiddIe-And you were living here continu-
ously up to last August year age?
Mr.. Farnham-YeS, sir 1 may as well state my
reason for leaving. 1t was not because 1 was
afraid of anything. because 1 made no secret of
my residence: I have written to Mr.. Allen, in the
Surveyors Office, 1 have written to Mr.. Frank
Stilson, right III this Office, and have written to
half dozen Others. My residence was no secret.
1t has been known for years that lived at Sing
Sing. The Supreme Masonic Lodge were ac-

Mr.. FaTnham here explained that he left the
District because he wanted to manufacture few

at least partially, accounted for by the better
attention which white women enjoy duriRg
parturition.
Table B. shows the ratio Of mortality from
the diseases specified to the tetal mortality,
and the races are thus compared Here we
find that the colored race enjoys an advantage
in malarial fevers and cancerous diseases, while
it is at disadvantage in all the others.
1t has long been known that the rate Of NOR
tality among the African race in this country
is much greater than among the European, es-
pecially in the periods of infancy and early
childhood and it was generally supposed. un-
til the census of 1880 corrected the mistake,
that the former would gradually be extinguish-
ed in a state of freedom. This idea was pro-
Dably due, in great degree to the known fact
that the rate Of increase among the free
colored people was formerly only about one
half that of the slaves; while the former were
more intelligent and apparently better able TO
take care of themselves.

The relative vital movement of different races
in mixed population is a matter of interest to
the sanitarian, as well as the ethnologist The
white and colored races, living side by side in
this country, and in some OF the Southern
States in nearly equal numbers, afford an ex-
ample for study, though the problem is rem
dered complicated and indefinite by their par
tial admixture. The number of communities
in which accurate records of deaths classi-
fed by races are kept, is confined to few of
the cities and towns. and the record of births
Is still more limited; but enough is known to
form few tables that may be instructive.
Table A is designed to show the mortality
for all ages, that for the first five years of hfe
that from some of the leading death causes,
and the births where attainable: also the ratio
of the same per 1000 of population by races
1t will be observed that the ratio of mortaIi-
ty for all ages is invariably much greater
among the coIored than among the white and
that the disparity is still more marked under
five years Of age. The same disparity is found
in most of the diseases exhibited in the tables.
In less than half the cities malarial fevers
cause a smaller mortality among colored
than white people, but the explanation would
be neglect OF hJ giene and medical treatment
rather than greater liability to maiarial infiu-
ences. It has been thought that the negro
race enjoys, to great degree. immunity from
paludal miasms, but this Is evidently mis-
take, at least in this country.
There is good evidence that the African race
Is less liable to cancerouS diseases than the
European, and the same is true Of delirium
tremens in still more marked degree though
this cannot be attributed to more temperate
habits. Suicide, too, is almost unknown among
the darker race.
Pulmonary consumption and acute lung dis
eases are so much more destructive to life
among the African race, that we must ascribe
to that people greater liability to these dis
eases The same may be said of commissions
Trismus nascentium, being almost uniformly
fatal, clearly has q preference for colored peo-
pie; and besides, is much more common in
Southern cities than In Northern.
As to diarrhoeal and puerperal diseases, it is
PROBABLE that the advantage of the white popu-
lation Is due to better medical attention and
superior comforts Of life.
-Still-births are uniformly and largely In ex-
cess among colored people; but this may be.

Warm Feet.

II grown people choose to 20 to bed

Maybe they agree with the irascible old
man who, having tried various lini-
ments and emolIients without effect, at
last dehed the offending member:
cache away, old fellow, / can stand it
as long as you can" But to put into
cold sheets feet that should be warm
and rosy, but that are numb and blue,
is enough to make all the little toes this
side of the tropic curl. Some have con-
stitutionally cold feet that win be cold
in spite Of woolen stockings and thick
shoes, and any amount of exercise.
The nervous system Of children is
said to be five times greater proportion
ately than their elders. Who can doubt
itP And certain restless specimens,
common to every neighborhood, should
be in justice to ordinary two-fOoted
urchins, ranked as human decapods;
for how can one pair Of feet accomplish
all those juvenile Fliakims dOP But
bedtime rolls around, and then the
tired limbs, the yielding bones of the
growing body, should lie in happy un-

be brought into unnatural and uncon-

If the bedrooms are warmed, there will

We should like to urge all mothers,

either a soap-stone, which is easiest, or
a warmed crib-blanket, for the feet Of
their little charges. With that pleas
ant anticipation, going to bed will be
robbed of half its objections There
will be fewer coughs and catarrhal
colds, digestion win improve, and
awful dreams become less frequent;
there will be no tedious hours of chilly
