Shortened Life in the Human Race
From Our Home ..


The maturity of man, calculated by
the completed condition of the skele-
ton, is twenty-one years. Twentv-one
years multiplied by five-105 years-is
therefore the natural duration Of the
life of man on this estimate, and with
certain natural limited range, may
be accepted as the true and full dura-
tion. But, when the actual value Of
life is taken, it is found to present, in
this country, an average of forty-two
years, SO that there are grand agencies
at work which are reducing the nation
al life to q very low value. If the in-
quirer enter further into the matter he
will observe that the grand agencies
leading to this reduced value of life
must be in some way removable, be-
cause they are not always in action To
reduce every form of life t. the same
level of duration. He will discover
that the domestic animals which sur
round us, if we do not kill them out
right by hard labor, privation or ex-
posure to the vicissitudes of seasons,
are so much longer lived than we are,
that they exist, practically, to their
full term with as much exactitude as
we exist TO the first of our second stage
Of existence. Or, to put the matter in
another light, he will discover that
if our lower domestic animals were
TO die in the same ratio that we die,
their duration OF life, as il is now
known, would be reduced nearly to
half what it is The dog would have
an average term of eight years, and
al, l., L.
of life. Such observations as these
will lead the sanitarian to find uni
form object in his labor. He will ask
what is the reason why man, who holds
all the knowledge and skill above the
brute creation, should have so little
control over his own destiny that he
cannot control it in respect to health
and life as well as the inferior creature,
which, compared with himself, has
neither reason nor skill. He will won
der in vain SO long as he looks simply
at the general fact. He will not won
der at all when he proceeds TO an
analysis of all the details upon which
that general fact depends.
In the first place, he..wili learn by an
analysis Of the data he may collect that
man is subject to many more diseases
than the inferior animals are; that he
suffers from certain diseases Of the
mind incidental to his possession of
| mental organization superior altogether
to theirs, and from which diseases they
are exempt; that be suffers from some
diseases spriHging from human vices
| from which the lower animals are also
exempt; that he suffers from some
contagious diseases from which they
are exempt; that he suffers from some
diseases connected with industrial pur-
suits from which they are exempt; that
he suffers from indulgences in certain
luxuries of a deadly kind from which
they are exempt; that he suffers from
various accidents from which they are
exempt; that he suffers from heredi-
tary taints of disease from which they
are exempt.

BY the courtesy of JAS. ID. Butt, Esq of
Harper's Ferry, we have been shown letter
to the postmaster of that place, from Col.
Arson Mills, 10th U. S. Cavalry, inquiring
in regard to the possibility of securing cons
venienees for the establishment of Cartridge
Belt Mandatory at that place Col. Mills
has already large factory of this character in
Worcester, Mass, but at present wants more
room and power to enable him to keep up
with the demands of his large and growing
business. He can readily fnd at Harper's
Ferry all the room and power he may want,
and in addition will find in that community
a large number of skilled mechanics whom
he can readily employ. The field, indeed,
is most inviting one for such an enterprise,
and We hope that tn correspondence, which
will be replied to by competent person will
result in visit to Harper's Ferry by Col.
Mills, and eventually in the. establishment
there eff a thriving mandatory by him.
