gevity of the people. Baron Kolb gives sta
 tistics which are startling in the enormous difference of the mortality rates they dis
 close; for they show that while among in.
 fants suckled by their mothers 1S2 per cent
 die during the first year, no fewer than 80 per
 cent. die among those brought up in institu.
 tions. The influence of the anxiety of pro-
 v1d1ng for bare subsistence is 8 potent factor
 in shortening the lives of the laboring classes, l for the Baron finds that, taking thousand well-to-do persons and the same number of
 poor persons, at the end of five years there
 will remain of the prosperous 943, of the
 poor only 655, difference which goes on in
 creasing, until at the end of seventy years the numbers will be respectively 235 and G5.
 The average duration of life among the pros-
 porous he puts at fifty years; of the poor at
 thirty-two years.
 Some criticism of the new system of disci- pline at Amherst having been made by Rev. c. L. Woodworth, Prof. w. S. Tyler writes to the Congregati01aGltst and makes an em- phat1c denial of the assertion that the new system involves letting down of the moral character of the college He says that a strong desire on the part of the faculty to elevate the character and refine the manners of the students and to magnify moral motives and Christian influences forced them to rely on their personal power and spiritual mag netlsm rather than on pains and penalties. The result has been what was expected, and there has never been time during his acquaintance with the college, which embraces almost Its whole history, when officers and students have so generally felt their responsibility for thelr own character and department and for that of the whole community. Of President Seelye, he says that he far exceeds all his pre- decessors ''in his direct personal efforts to gain personal and controlling influence over every young life that is committed to his l care." Of the future Professor Tyler SAYS So far from being disposed to retrace our steps as the result of our experiment, we are | now taking some further steps in the same | direction. which, we trust, will result not in | any less government, but in the students gov ernlng themselves more entirely, and the whole college, like wellregulated family of adults, or like one of our own college socie- les, or, if you please, like any other associa- ion of gentlemen and Christians, being con rolled, and rightly controlled, by it's own sp73t de corps; like a Congregational hurch, governed, and well governed, by the Christian spirit and mutual watch and care of ts members"

An interesting pauper has just died at Warrington, England, where he had spent nine years in the workhouse at cost to the parish of some $2,OO0. He went there we'll dressed but complaining that he was i'll and refused to give his name or any particulars about himself, remaining in bed for four years without speaking. Then they began to make experiments to see whether or not he was shamming, and when four years later they stopped his wine and delicaeies he found his tongue and blasphemed the nurses most volubly. A year later he solved the perplexi- ty of the authorities by dying, and now theories obtain that he was a criminal wanted" by the police or man connected with the Fenian movement

In writing concerning the discussion upon skepticism at the Methodist Ecumenical Council MT. M. D. Conway says: Method ism, if 1 may venture to close with an impress sion of my own, is in the very least danger from skepticism, and will, so long as it four ishes. maintain an unchanged doctrinaI sys- tenn. And the reason is that no man can go through the routine of Methodist work un- less he believes it's doctrines. It is not a thing which, like most other sects, can be shelved on to 8 Sunday, leaving man the rest of the week for literature and society. It is work, day in and day out, with no end of class meetings, love feasts, prayer meetings, preachings. No man who did not believe all this was needed to save souls from the wrath to come could stand such life for week. And, fundamentally that is the all-doctrines-in-one of Methodism-man's peril of hell. All other doctrines are it's methods Methodism thus has great filter through which no treacherous rationelism can enter; it is very rare thing for skep- tic to find himself in it, and an impossible thing to find one willing to remain there. There is good deal of truth in this.

This excellent theatrical company,
which favored our city with entertain
ments for n week during last month,
will again appear in our midst for
eight nights, commencing on Friday
evening, July let, and will bring all
the old company, together with some
valuable additions, thus making the
combination stronger than ever; and
during their stay will present to their
audiences some of the heaviest plays
now put upon the stage. On the even
ing of July 1st, they will present
Shakespeare's sublime tragedy of Ham
let, and we feel confident that the. play
will be rendered in first class manner.
The other plays to be presented during
their stay are, Rosedale, or the Rifle
Ball, which has been performed by
Lester Wallack over 500 times; Enoch
Arden, a dramatization Of Tennyson's
beautiful poem; the Octoroon, pow
erful play, by the greatest of modern
dramatists, Dion Boucicault; Streets of
New York, by the same author, intro
ducing the great fire scene in the Five
Points, Union Square, making drama
of the most thrilling interest; the
greatest success of the age, as per-
formed at the Union Square theatre of
New York, entitled the Two Orphans
also the powerful and emotional drama
of Camille.
This will be the most complete and
best organized theatrical troupe ever
in this city, and with the addition of
some new actors that they will bring
with them on their return, will be able
to render successfully any play on the
American stage.

The Legislature has passed a bill
making it unlawful for any person to
allow his or her cattle, horses, sheep or
other animals to run at large in the
streets at any time of day or night.
The law applies to all highways in the
State, and we are Of the opinion that
if enforced in this part of the country
there would be no little bowling done,
but at the same time there would be
great rejoicing among property owners
generally.
