The recent death of Governor Cove Sauls-
hury. of Delaware, recalls the singular triangu-
lar lar contest between three brothers for the
United States Senate a few years ago. Willard
SALISBURY was i'll the Senate and "a as : his term
became a candidate against him. The two had
preeisely Ueel the same humber of friends in the
Legislature, fifteen each. The struggle was
long one and was conducted with great bitter. te
votes votes for another brother. Eli who received
a few of the Governors votes and was elected.
Eli is in the Senate still and Willard is ai Ghan-
cellor. The deceased Governor was a pnysl-

French Marriages.
lDemorest's Monthly for october.l

[Demorests Monthly Tor OctOber.J
The marriage of son of Musurus Pasha to a
laughter of the Countess d'Imecourt, has been
annulled by French court. The case was rO-
mantle one. The handsome young French girl
fell in love with the Mahomedan in Constan-
stinople, 1t was she who did the courting, but
the young man was willing, and they went to
union was held to be invalid, on accountof nom
compliance with the requirements of the
French law. This leaves the young woman in
a most pitiable position, as she has lived with
the pasha's son in good faith, suppOsing her
self to be his lawful wife. Many American
girls have been caught in the same trap; in
deed it Is dangerous for foreigners to
marry Frenchmen who live in France
for the law has many peculiarities.
Young women who go abroad to pick up
French noblemen would do well to bear this in
guind.

Land Grants to Railroads.

Thirty years ago the United States
government made its first grant of land
in aid Of railroad construction. The
railways then were few, but this grant
ing of rich government lands began to
develop into a regular system for aid
ing railway companies in the construc-
ton OF roads, which were projected in
every direction in the west, southwest
and northwest, and there were calls
for help from more than a dozen
states. In many instances the value
of the land granted to railroad com
pany fully covered the entire cost of
building the road Few persons have
any idea of the amount of land which
has been given away by the govern
ment down to the present time, in aid
of r. .ilroad building. In Illinois the
amount has been 1856, 053 acres; in
Mississippi, 2,062, 240 acres; in Ala
Dama, 1891 acres; in Florida, q
800, Ia acres; in Louisian, 1,57S,720
acres; in Arkansas, 4,S7S, 149 acres; in
Missouri, 1885, 100 acres; in Michigan,
4,712,4 80 acres; in Wisconsin, 4, sos, 436
acres; in Minnesota, 9,902,041 acres;
in Kansas, 100000 Besides this vast
amount, 10y, 4Sb,I6o acres nave been
given to the Pacific railroad corpora
tions-making grand total of 215,-
3O3,SO acres, or over $4,000 square
miles of land given by the United
States government in aid of railroad
construction. 1t is estimated that the
total value Of the land granted to the
railroads by congress amounts to fully
$685., 009 529. The amount has been
arrived at by figuring the average value
of the land at $3.50 per acre, which is
low estimate.

Sex and CONSUMPTION.

A Philadelphia doctor has written q
treaties to show that consumption is
far more prevalent and fatal in early
life among females than males. At
thirty-tive the proportion of the sexes
which it kills is about equal, and above
that age the mortality among men is
greater than among woenn. The de-
auctions drawn from statistics gather
ed in most of the states, and covering
considerable periods, indicate that be-
tween ten and twenty twice as many
girls as boys die of consumption. This
claim is shown to be measurably true
in Massachusetts by table in the last
registration report. One-sixth of all
the deaths in the state in 1879 were
from consumption, or 1928 out of 81
81. There are reported as having
died under fifteen, 149 males and 211
females; from fifteen to twenty, 1S1
males and 347 females; from twenty to
thirty, 633 males and 947 females; thir-
ty to forty, 439 males and 573 females
forty to fifty, 81 males and 338 fe-
males; fifty to sixty, 233 males and 1873
females; sixty to seventy, 211 males
179 females; seventy to eighty, l02
males and 12l females; eighty and
over, % males and 80 females; and OF
age not stated five each; making the
totals 2,287 males and 1886 females.
That is to say, out of every 100 per-
sons who died of consumption in Mas
sachusetts in 1879, fifty-six were fe-
males and forty-four males, while out of
every 100 who died under twenty years
of age sixty-tbree were females and
only thirty-seven were males.
The fact that about this ratio pre-
walls throughout the United States
shows either that there is something in
the nature OF sex which predisposes
females to consumptive disease, or that
something in their habits and manner
of life has the same effect 1t seems
probable that the latter cause is the
real one. Girls are not given the same
opportunity as boys to strengthen their
lungs, and, in fact, their whole consti-
tutions, by free exercise in the open
air. Mock modesty about having their
daughter become tomboys" leads
many mothers to stife their daughters
young lives in close and heated rooms.
Let them run out doors, climb fences
and romp to their hearts content, and
their chances for healthy bodies and
long lives will be about as good as those
