COMPARATIVE DEATH RATE OF
WHITES AND BLACKS.

The impression has gained ground
of late that the death rate of the cola
ored people since they acquired their
freedom IL not much If any greater
than that of the whites. Under this
belief quite q lumber of the life in
surapoe COMPARES at the East issued
policies to the two races at the same
rates, They have found coggnt rea-
sons in the falling in Of a much larger
proportion OF deaths among the color
ed people to alter very materially their
schedule. Mr.. ]. L. O'Sullivan has
been writing on this subject In the
New York Sun, in which he pointed
out the popular fallacy in this regard.
We have now before us the statistics
of New Orleans, in which we find
that the death rate for the first six
months of 1880 among the white popu-
Iation was 23.43 for each thousand,
and among the colored 1886 per thou
sand. In the last half year the rates
were 22.28 among the whites and 1888
among the colored people--a difference
in the death rate which follows very
closely that reported between the two
races in the Eastern States and show
ing that the same causes operate to
produce the larger proportion of deaths
among the colored people in both sec
tions of the Union, and without doubt
in all the States, if the investigation
were made general.

THE Methodists of the United States
number 3,521, 600, and are divided into
fifteen organizations though the great
bulk of the membership Is included In
the Methodist Episcopal, the Methodist
Episcopal South, and the African Metho-
dist Episcopal. The division between
the first two was made in 1645, on the
slavery question, and the last was sep.
arated on the color line In 1916. The
Methodist Protestant Is the outcome of q
struggle in the Methodist Episcopal on
the question of lay representation and
abolition of the presiding eldership, and
does not differ on ether points with the
parent body. The Evangelical Associa-
ton is a German Methodist body with
it's chief membership in Pennsylvania.
The American Wesleyan Connection
was formed In 134S by Methodist
Abolitionists, who wished to take re-
liglous stand against slavery. The Free
Methodist Is a church formed in 1850 by
those who believe that Methodism was
getting too worldly, and the Primitive
Methodist is the result of similar though
earlier departure. The negro Methodist
also have several separate sects. The
general Methodist feeling Is that a un' on
of most of these churches might now be
effected.

MENINGITIA AMONG THE
HORAES

It i2said that last week there were
no less than 30 horses lying dead on
the banks of the Connecticut below
Hartford. They were victims OF spinal
meningitis. Az Wooley's stables in
that city, several cases have occurred.
and some are now under treatment ;
so OF some other stables thsrsabout.
Only few stables as yet appear TO
have 1t. The disease attacks the
horses of private owners as well as
those of the livery stables. The horse,
If unsupported, sinks down helplessly
and cannot move. at Woolley's they
had strong framework to hold up
the horses that were affected. The
stables of the Hartford 81 Wsthers-
field Horse Railroad company are
somewhat ageoted. The main treat
ment seems to be to give physio balls
and mustard plaster and blanket the
horse. Only a few die.-A"sonso

SPEAK ENGLISH, PRAY There
was severity in the words, and in
the sound of them, as they were
turned upon the proprietor of the
London Telegraph by the editor of
the London Truth, in court, few
days ago. Mr.. I.abouchere, when
cross examining Mr.. Lawson in the
libel suit that has been amusing En-
glishmen during the past fortnight,
had put question, in the answer to
which Mr.. Lawson spoke of "his
father and his entourage."-"Speak
English, pray p cried Mr.. Labou-
chere as the French word struck his
ear.
The words of the London editor
have a Shakespearean ring about
them. 1t is good advice. The
speakers and writers of English
should keep within the English
lines. There are words in our Ian
guage for all the thoughts of every
man who is intellectually sane. It Is
rich in words of thinking, feeling
and description. What notion ever

CHEAP GAS AND PUBLIC
PROFIT.

From the Manchester Examiner.
The Gas Works in Manchester
have always been the property of
the inhabitants. Originally they
were directed by board of thirty
Directors, selected from the Com.
mission of Police. Up to 1885 they
had q debt of 100000. 1t has been
the custom from the first to apply
the gas profits to town improve
men Is. In 1881 the sum paid for
this purpose was f6, 300; in 1885 1t
had risen TO fl0, 0,l33.
The price Of gas has steadily been re-
duced. In 1888 1t was 12s. per 1000
cubic feet; in 1s44, os. up to 1870, 5s. +;
then, by series OF gradual reductions it
has come down to last years figure OF
3s., ,and further reduction was promised
in December last to Is. 10d. per 1,00O
cubic feet fer gas having an illuminating
power Of 21.S2 candles. The profits
turned over to the public in 1870 were
equivalent to 9Rd. per 1000 feet.
The Committee have been very busy
of late years watching the many valua-
BILE improvements In gas-making and
notably in all labor-saving appliances. A
most important part is the sale of the by
products, ammoniacal liquor, tar and
coke, which, in 1879, produced fS0,000.
The monetary operations of the Com
mittee are necessarily on scale of great
magnitude, the total income being nearly
f400,000 per annum. They employ about
500 men in summer and 1900 in winter.
For interest on their debt they need
f25, 900 year; for sinking fund $780,
900; they light the streets at cost oi
G24,000, pay rates, rents, and taxes
amounting to 1900, and charge them.
selves with depreciation, EFT 900. These
items come annually to the enormous
sum OF fl19,000, and YET the Committee
eau hand over profits of $4,000 to the
improvement Committee and save the
rates to that amount.

AN IMMENSE CHURCH Or
GAN.

The great organ just placed In the
Church of the Holy Trinity at Nine
teenth and Walnut streets, Phila-
delphia, will be opened for the first
time on Sunday. This monster
muuical instrument cost 81 900. 1T
is about twenty six feet wide, twelve
feet deep and over thirty two feet
high. In it's exterior finish the in
strument is very handsome, while
its interior workmanship is of the
best. The wind for the instrument
is supplied by two water engines.
which are controlled by means of a
pedal at the key-box. The organ
has three manuals Of fifty eight
notes each and a pedal of thirty
notes. There are forty-four speak
ing pipes, which, with but one ex-
ception, extend the entire length Of
the manuals. The total number oi
pipes is 2756.

EMBROIDERY.
Harper's Mag azine.

Harper's Mag azine.
The present revival of interest in
embroidery seems likely to be more
permanent than any that has preceded
it, because it is now something more
than passing fashion in dress, as was
the case in England in 1846, when
London alone employed two thousand
pair of ands in decorating every arti-
cles of dress worn by the ladies of
fashion. Now IL is her own handi-
work, the hours of patient stitching,
the choice of materials and colors, and
the realization of an artistic thought,
that the lady of fashion is proud of,
not, as formerly, the money that they
cost. She has now a real appreciation
of the beauty of ber India shawl, with
its seven hundred stitches to the every
square inch, and other features that
make her treasures of old lace SO valu-
able. The mere filling In of worsted
work is superseded by an occupation
that requires thought, knowledge, taste
and skill the promised slippers or
sofa cushion are no longer so much to
be dresd ded and even the afghan, chair
back, and chat ffepied are assuming
artistic importance-thiDgs that can
not only be tolerated for the sake OF
asseci tion but which we can con-
scientiously admire, and be thankful
fol. OF course many things are em.
broidered which should be perfect
PLAIN, If, indeed, as in the case of a
valance for mantel, they should ex-
ist at all !; but this lack of discrimina.
ton is incident to all beginnings, and
we may feel certain that the enthusi-
asm which has carried the mental val
ance to completion will lead to a degree
of requirement that will acknowledge
its lncongruity, and by that time the
heat and SCOT of the fire will have rem
dered it unsightly enough to be con-
signed to the attic, among The useless
accumulations of the past.

The disparity of the sexes In churches
is placed by Zion's Herald at two to one
in favor of the women, and the same
paper also makes the following rather
startling ststement:-"If we were to take
the churches right through the country,
we should probably find that not more
than one-tenth of their members are
men In the prime OF life. The other
nine-tenths are women, men who have
passed their meridian, and youths who
have not reached their maturity. It is
also to be observed that in almost every
community the majority OF the energetic,
enterprislng business men are not avowed
and active Christians; and If they are
identified with the Church al all, 1t is
usually only in the most superficial
way.n

HOW A REBEL MAJOR GOT HIS
PARDON.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
A few days after the war had been
declared at an end, Major Drewry
went to Washington, and, without the
usual ceremony OF sending in his name,
lest he should be refused an inter-
view, made his way into the presence
of Secretary Stanton. "Mr. Sssre-
tary," said he, 81 want my pardon as
soon as possible. I've fought against
you as long as / could, and I've been
whipped and now / want to 90 home
and 20 to work. I've got hundreds OF
acres of land that have been lying fall
low for the last four years, and want
to get seed into every inoh Of 1t this
spring, so I'll thank you to give me my
pardon and let me 60" He talked 30
fast that Mr.. Stanton couldn't get in Q
word but being amused and rather
pleased by MAJOR Drewry's bluff man
ner, he asked at last: son what
ground do you expect to get pardon,
sirW "On the ground, sir, that /
showed you how to build navy. You
sent your feet of old wooden ships up
to BIswry's Bluff, and We knocked
'sm all to pieces and showed you, sir,
that wooden ships wsren't worth .
d. And theH you went to work
and got together a navy that was
worth something, and It's on the
ground that my men proved your
needs to yea that I want a pardon. :"
The Secretary laughed, and told the
honest rebel to call next day, - he
would like to talk further with him
Next day Major Drswry got his par
don, and. in return, gave Mr.. Stanton
great deal of valuable infoi nation
concerning the South and its prospects.
He went back TO his pleasant home ON
the James, and has ever since been q
wise, enterprising, prosperous citizen.

An Americans View of Brazil.


Mr.. John Better, young PIttsourger who

OF the country and states that the Opportuni-

American enterprise, are not very extensive
Without large financial resources. It is hardly
the place for young men Of even more than
ordinary pluck and energy to visit and grow up
with the country, unless they have money and
are prepared to grow slowly. The country is
hooded with American Inventions and knick-
knacks, and the listless BraZlItans, VINO In
f01mer times looked upon such novelties from
the states as great discoveries. have lapsed into
state OF more or less Indifference. The tele-
phone has been in use for many months, roller
skating Is one OF the sports In the large
