The LeprOSY.

The existence of leprosy in New
Brunswick, on the Miramichi river, in a
low fishing population, and upon Cape
Breton Island, has been for some time
familiar. Contagion appears to have
been clearly proved in the former set
Element, but in the latter all cases are
the descendants of one woman, signifi-
cant suggestion of precautions which
should be taken in eradicating the dis
ease. In the United States several
cases of the disease have appeared
among Norwegians in the Northwest,
particularly in Minnesota. Nearly all
the cases are of those infected before
their arrival, but a well-authenticated
instance of the transmission of the dis
ease by descent. 1t has also appeared
at intervals since 1916 in Charleston, s.
c., while in Florida it was prevalent
more than century ago. and the large
number of cases in Louisiana in 1875
required ?. srcJial hospital. In 1866 it
reappeai-. in Vermillion Parish, in
that State, and other cases are now
there. IN California and Oregon the
Chinese emigration has, as might be ex-
pected. introduced the disease.

try few months ago, he supercilious-
ly criticized the fire departments OF
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Cincinnati and other large cities,
and gave us distinctly to understand
how and where we were inferior to the
English capital in the ability to extin-
guish fires. Well, the critical Captain
has just had fire on his own hands,
and the loss is estimated at about 3d.
000, 000-a greater sum than New York
has lost by any single confagration in
forty-fve years, although there are
many parts of New York in which a
very few buildings near together would
with their contents be of greater value
than $l5,000,000. Capt. Shaw will
probably explain how it happened, but
the veriest blunderer could do as much.
What American firemen will want to
know is the reason Capt Shaw, with
his superior service, did not get the fire
under control, instead of allowing it to
do so much damage.

Religion and Divorce.

The Ch1trchmdn says: 1--WE have
already called attention to remarka-
BILE article by Dr. Bacon in the Prince
ton ReUielC, on 'Polygamy in New Eng
land The writer shows with great
clearness that the Mormons are not by
any means the greatest offenders against
social morality. The Puritans at the
East have legalized, by their legislation
respecting divorce, principle which
does not differ essentially from that
which they are trying to root out from
Utah. 1t is somewhat surprising that
in all the discussion which has been
going on about the evil of the present
system of divorce in the United States,
nobody has explained the origin of it.
DR.. Bacon. Sr.,-the father of the
author of the article just referred to
wrote book on "The Genesis of the
New England Churches" 1t would be
well for some one to trace the genesis
of the New England idea about mar
riage. 1t will be found that, even in
its most repulsive and immoral phases,
it is but the carrying ont into practice
of what the great Puritan, John Milton,
taught. One needs only to read his
famous ''Tractate on Divorce" and to
recall the fact that his influence upon
the early thought and even in the legis-
lation of New England was marked, in
order to understand why modern Pu-
ritanism rivals Mormonism in its disre-
gard of what the rest of the civilized
world holds to be the true doctrine of
marriage. Milton sought to elevate
liberty above law, and to make it a di-
vine right. He therefore held that mar
riage was nothing more than civil con-
tract which either the husband or wife
might break at will. In other words
he taught liberty of self-divorce. This
goes far toward accounting for the fact
that while New England has been until
recently the most strenuous advocate
of morality in general, and has legis-
lated against even intemperance, it has,
at the same time, encouraged and fos-
tered the loosest notions in regard to di-

Brief Remarks of Dan PeIter's Wife

"Mr. Pelter," said Dams wife, would
we like tn see me lone widder, with
stone-dead husband?"
This idea startled Dan and he looked
up from his whiting kindlings with
the carving knife.
"Of course not. I've got heart fur
We as big as barn an as open as er saw
mill"
"An' don't we pity err woman as is er
whole widder?"
"Sartin."
can don't We half pity err woman as
is half widder?"
"Sartin sure"
can which du We pity the wust Ell
manageable wilder or one tibet can't
marry nohow?"
"The one that can marry is less to be
pitied eos she can git er better husband
n she had afore."
"Then why doan't you pity me?"
"What!"
81 married we fur a man, an We went
lookin' and actin like er man at that
time. But now yere more'n half dead.
Ye hain't spoke ter me pleasant ter-day.
Fore we was married ye'd gable ter
me all the chance you'd git. Ye hain't
showed me no attention kinder perlite
like which pleases us women. Ye was
wonderful perlite when we used ter
come a-courtin' me. Ye don't show me
no Difference in yer manners. Now
Difference showed to er woman when
tibet woman's yer wife amt never lost,
but allus pays big interest; it kinder
sweetens life as molasses sweetens gin

ter leave all the sweetness out'en the
cake jes' eos we're married? Yer

ness yer could disseminate aroun' we.

For the week ending Dec. 8, 1882,
the reports indicate that intermit-
tent fever, influenza, tonsilitis and pneu-
monia increased, that neuralgia, diph-
liberia and typhoid fever considerably
decreased and that typho-malarial fever,
bronchitis, cholera morbus, diarrhea
and whooping- cough decreased in area
of prevalence.
At the State Capitol the prevailing
winds during the week ending Dec. 9
were southwest, and, compared with the
preceding week, the temperature was
lower, the absolute and relative hui
nudity less, and the day and night ozone
more.
Including reports by regular observ-
ers and by others, diphtheria and
scarlet fever were reported present dur

each at sixteen places, and measles
at four places. Smallpox was not re-

THE soul of the Philadelphia Times
is wrought in agony and twisted in de-
SPAR over what it is disposed to regard
as "the wild Western lingo" Admit
ting that the people of the West have
an original way of their own, the Muir
ray-infatuated editor declares they have
also a unique method of curtailing
grammatical forms and fashioning new
verbs. That singularly-correct paper
cites as an example the words inquest
ed" in lieu of held an inquest"
@suicided," demised," "orated" and
similar solecisms. AS a matter of fact,
the Western people are not at all re-
sponsible for this system of oral abbre-
viations, but have dutifully followed the
example of the East, where language Is
popularity supposed to have had birth
and culture. Like Mrs. Malaprop, we
propose to resent aspersions upon our
parts of speech, and will not have our
language attacked.

A CINCINNATI paper tells of remark
able deal at cards: At the Cuvier Club
House, Clay Culbertson, Jerry Kiersted,
Alexander Starbuck and f.. CT. Webster
entered into game of whist. After
the first hand had been played, Mr..
Webster, whose turn it was to deal,
took the cards, shuffied them, and, after
they had been cut by Mr. Kiersted,
dealt. Each player, as he arranged his
cards, appeared to be laboring under
some unusual excitement Mr.. Gull
bertson, whose turn it was to play, and
who generally is very prompt in placing
his card on the table, delayed the play
until Mr. Starbuck broke the ominous
silence which prevailed by exclaiming,
Gentlemen, have the most remarka-
bic whist hand / ever held. L hold
thirteen hearts" And l." remarked
Mr.. Culbertson, "hold equally as re-
markable hand / have thirteen
spades. And L, nervously said Mr..
Kiersted, shave thirteen diamonds. +"
"Of course / hold the thirteen trumps, "
quickly chimed in the dealer, Mr.. Web
ster. To say the players were unduly
excited at such an expose of their hands
but feebly expressed their mental con-
dition at the time. The conversation
that ensued relative to this unexpected
event in whist among the players and
members, as they dropped in during the
afternoon, was decidedly animated. No
one had ever heard of holding such
hands in whist. A case occurred in n
Boston club year or so ago whore a
player held the thirteen trumps, and
also a similar case in New York club,
but aside from these two no one could
report such hands as these.

Value OF the Sunf1Ower.

The sunhower is worshiped by the
Chinese, and deserves the devotion of
that materialistic people from the fact
that it is the most useful of all vegeta-
bles. From its seeds is made oil unsur-
passed as lubricant, and soap un-
equaled for softening the skin. Sun
flower oil is greatly used for adulter-
ating salad oil, and it burns longer than
any other vegetable oil. Sunfower
cake is more fattening than linseed
cake, its flowers supply the best bee
food, and its leaves are much used for
adulterating tobacco. It's stalk yields
q fine fiber used in Chinese silk, and
the best yellow dyes of the Chinese are
produced from It's flowers. Several
acres are to be laid down with sun
flowers in the Thames valley next year.

ACCORDING to the Boston Journal,
this was the way in which the President
had his message put in print and yet
kept from the public until the proper
time. He sent for Mr.. Rounds, Public
Printer, and gave him part of the MS,
.enjoining upon him the utmost secrecy.
Mr.. Rounds set up the matter himself,
assisted 10y Capt. Brian, foreman, and
Mr.. Taylor, chief clerk. The rest of
the MS, when ready, was given by Mr..
Rounds in very short "takes" to a few
trusty compositors. Mr.. Rounds read
the proofs himself, and made the cor
rections, and kept all the MS, proofs
and galleys, when not in use, locked up
in burglar-proof safe. As result not
a line leaked out, and even the guess
ers" were so far baffied that, when Mr..
Rounds was visiting the President to
carry proofs and get copy, they imag-
med that the President was going to
remove him and had sent for him to
tell him so, and they made serious
announcement to that effect.

MICHIGAN RAILROADS.
Abstract of the Report of Commissioners
Williams.
from the Detroit Post

Williams.
From the Detroit Postl
The tenth annual report of the Mich
igan Commissioner of Railroads, cov-
ering the year ending Dec. 81. 1881,
has been published. From this it APP
pears that the total railway mileage in
the State on that date was 1852 miles
against 1898 miles on Dec. 81, 1880.
In 1881, AL .43 miles were constructed
and 12S miles were abandoned by con-
solidation. OF double tracks there are
1913 miles and of sidings 1,744 miles.
Between Dec. 81, 1881 and Oct
of the present year 272 miles were
added.
The capital stock of all the roads in
the State on Dec. 81, 1881, was $780,
505, 422, an increase of $78,925, 102.
This heavy addition is attributable to
the Chicago and Northwestern, the De-
troit, Mackinac and Marquette and the
Wabash, ST. Louis and Pacific. A con-
siderable part of this is to be credited
to roads lying patty outside of the
State.
The funded debt of these roads is
$245 907 1852, and their floating debt
800, 593, 142.
The years revenue of these roads
from transportation was $76. 322, 4S4,
and from other sources $3.50, 2S7.
