prohibition OF a coupon feature, with

the rights ofthe people as to turn the
state over to the tender mercics of the

do himself and the entire common

where and Of what We Die.

Cincinnati Commercial, March A.
During 1880 sixty. eight cities of the
United States made weekly death re-
ports to the National board of health,
and in its bulletin Of February 10,
1881, the board aggregates and tabu-
lates the contents Of these reports, ex-
hibiting the result for the year. From
this table it appears that Vallejo.
Cal, was the healthiest place reported
in 1880, and Norfolk, Va. the uuheal-
thiest. The average life in Vallejo
was S3.5 years, and only one person in
1000 OF population died of consump-
ton, while in Norfolk the average life
was only N.9years, aud one person 10
al Of population died of consump-
ton. The aggregate population of
these sixty-eight cities is 1852 37,
the average duration of life in them
was 445 years, and there was one
death from consumption for every
1926 Of population, and one death
from acute disease of the lungs for
every 429 of population. In other
words, of every 100 deaths 24.4 we're
from lung diseases, and of these IA
we're from consumption and 1914
from acute diseases of the lungs.
-Four Of the best cities for health wer0
Yonkers, n. Y, average life Sc years;
Omaha, Neb average 68 years, Utica,
67.5 years; Keokuk, low GIL years;
and four of the worst cities were
Jacksonville, Fa., 35 years; Vicksburg,
Miss "a years, Charleston, S. O..
81 3 years, and Savannah, Ga. 30.d
years. In Boston the average life was
~ 5 years, deaths by consumption one
in 246, by acute lung disease one in
336 Of population in New York aver
age life 81 years, deaths by consump-
ton one in 254, and in acute lung dis
ease one in 260; in Philadelphia life
AIS years, consumption one in 314,
acute disease one in 844; in Cincinnati
life 1873, consumption 346, acute dis
case 49l; Louisville life 47.6, consump-
ton 300, acute Disease 40; ~Indianapo-
lis life 4T8. consumption Az, acute
disease 38l; Chicago life 4S, consump-
ton 593, acute disease 453; St, Paul
$50, consumption 561, acute disease
7l5; San Francisco life 51.8, consump-
ton 295, acute disease 459; New Or.
leans life 4l.3, consumption 25G. acute
disease 584; st. Louis life 81, consump.
ton 447, acute disease $50. The dit
ference between New York and Phil
adelphia 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 diar.
rhmal disorders cause the greater
number Of deaths. In every 100
deaths from all causes in the sixty.
cities, ten are from diarrheal
disturbances, and there is one death
from this source in every 436 inhabi-
tants.

A Country Darky's Estimate of
His Wife's Value.

Upon returning to his Office after
the matinee at the police court yester.
day morning, Esq. p. NJ. Winters
found a couple waiting in his Office to
have the nuptial knot tied. The
groom was tall and Of a sleeker black
than the back of his coat. A lovely
smile wreathed his features and dis
closed a double row of ivory teeth,
which had been daily polished upon
hard ash cake f%orfully nineteen years.
His brogans had been carefully
soaked over night in lard and lamp
blackand given a final touch
with stove polish after his arrival
in the city. His hair had been twisted
and rolled in cotton strings with that
close precision which characterizes his
race. The odor Of new mown hay and
bacon fat fingered around him, the
atmosphere being heightened by the
sweet scent of an ounce of cinnamon,
with which he had saturated his hand
kerchief. His right arm chung ten

partner, who, ignoring the formal de-
mands Of society and refusing to re

"gemman' from the country, wore her

brow, ITO put on good clothes and

her partner with glance that was in

minded one of the uncertain gait Of
two broken eggs in the center Of a
china plate.
The knot was tied with that solemnity
Of demeanor which characterizes the
squire upon such occasions and wound
up with a touching appeal to the by
ISLANDERS to salute the bride.
The groom obeyed, on tip-toe,
though a very unaccountable contor-
ton Of his features took place imme-
diately after. Some say but they
we're doubtless enyious-that be made
some sluFring remark about eating
"inguns on ones bridal morn, which
is probably untrue. Anyway, his man
ner toward the justice changed visibly
when asked for a fee. He handed
over five dollars, and when the clerk
remarked that he had gut a wife cheap
