APPALLING RATE OF MORTALITY AMONG
THE SURvvoRs OF SOUTHERN MILITARY PRIs-
oNs.-The Union Veteran in a recent issue
gives the following facts, which convey their
own neral; During the trial of Captain
Wirtz, in August, 1865, 26 survivors of An
dersonville met at the National Hotel on Penn
sylvania avenue, Washington, d. O., and or
Ranized the national union of rebel prison
survivors These 26 survivors, who were
few of the many attending the trial as wit
nesses, were young men, the Oldest OF them
only 80 years of age, and apparently had en-
tirely recovered from the i'll effects of bard
ships experienced while prisoners of war. OF
these 26 organizers of the national union, II
have died, the whereabouts or fate of four OF
them is unknown, and only five Of them are
known TO be living The number of deaths
reported in 1880 averaged l6t per cent. of the
membership of our association-an increase
of five per cent over the death rate of 1873.
This appalling death rate, among men who
should be in the prime Of manhood, constl-
tutes the most incontrovertible evidence that
the fearful privations and hardships suffered
in rebel prisons completely undermined the
health of even the youngest and strongest,
and deeply implanted iu their system the
germ of lingering disease and early death"

Wrapped in dead, deep silence lie the moors
Beneath their shrOud Of white. Unbroken calm
ReignB DER the wide expanse, whose deadness seems
The very grave Of lifel
The leaden sky
Teens with it's snowy burden; mid the furze,
With this fair, pure, white penthouse overhead,
Crouch the packed moorfowl and the shivering hare
In that instructive fellowship which comes
OF common hardship-each intent to hnd
Some scanty fragment for a needful meal.
Here, with knit brows, courageously along
The scarce-dsting path the shepherd plods,
Now glancing upwards at the threateningsky,
Now scanning, for some wanderer from bis hcck,
The landscape round; and ever and anon,
To keep his spirits up, he whistles loud
Some tune discordant, as he picks his way.
And seel Upon the sombre forest llnds
The tall gaunt trees stand forth like sentinels
Around a slumbering camp; their meagre arms,
swayed by the wind, the gathered snowhakos shower
In powdery sOftness down.
The iowands lie
Hidden beneath their snow-dress; scarce a fox
or rabbit is astir; the famished birds
Nestle within the ivy that enshrouds
The farmhouse walls the cattle all are stalled
Warm in the byre; and 10 the straWyard crowd
Together the plough-horses.

ise of future usefulness, yet are without the
means of education. They are not to eat the
bread Of idleness. large farm gives them
opportunity to develop their physical powers,
aud to earn, in part or altogether, the bread
they eat. Parents are expected to clothe
their boys, aud to pay one hundred dollars
year toward their support and tuition, though
in some instances where this was impossible,
boys have been received without it. Every
boy is expected and required to work accord
ing to his age and strength. The morning
and evening chores are assigned each one
knows his part, and is held responsible for its
performance.
The school hours are from till /. In the
afternoon two hours are spent at farm work
by the older boys under the direction Of
'the farmer" The younger boys have all a
share in the housework washing dishes,
bringing wood, etc, etc.
Every boy, large or small, has the care of
his own room, making his bed, sweeping, etc.
Housework is not here, more than elsewhere,
the delight of the boys. They like the farm
work much better, generally. But they do it
quite rs well as could be expected, and l
heard no grumbling during my stay. One
boy, who had been somewhat delicately rear
ed, was Just beginning his out-d door work with
the care of a calf feeding watering, &c,
night and morning. This one small creature
is made dependent upon him, and his pride
and self.respect are enlisted in its welfare
and growth Every Sunday two large wag-
ons go over the river to the village church
with their loads of boys They walk up all
the hills, and cross the river by wire ferry
till it is frozen over. There is a fine bridge
farther on, but to cross by it makes the dis.
tance greater. The power and spirit of Mr.
Moody is visible in the school, 1t is easy to
see what hold he has upon the reverence
and affection of the boys. He is remember
ed by name in the morning and evening de-
votons, and blessing asked upon his fami-
ly and his work. A telephone connects the
boys school with the village and the semina-
ry, and the feeling prevails that the interests
of the two schools are identical, and a fire.
quent interchange of visits tends to prevent
that coarseness and uncouthness that is apt
to result from separating boys from the gen.

INDIAN SYSTEM.

Secretary Teller, who has had some
personal observation of the conduct Of
Indian affairs, announces that he will
not continue the practice of allowing
various religious denominations to Sc
lect Indian Agents. The Secretary's
grounds are thus explained in a Wash
"gt"n special: "In practice under the
late Gust M has been found that
many men of no business capacity
whatever have succeeded in obtaining
strong church Endorsements, and in
some cases men have secured this in,
tluenca who turned out to be morally
unfit for the position. The Secretary
says bis examination of the results of
this system Of selection has convinced
him that it has proved a decided fail
ure. He finds that the average time
that AGENTS thus selected have been
able to held their places has been con
siderably less than two years. A very
considerable portion have been relieved
tor 'ncomp'.ntency. He also objects
to the system on the ground that it in
Produces divided responsibility, and
Agents selected under tn s plan are in
clined to hold themselves somewhat
independent of the Department" They
even rely on the influence of their
churches to sustain them against the
Department. feature of the system
not likely to lie more promotive of ef-
fciency and economy than of subordin-
ton reQonidn.
In 1877 we published our views
objecting strongly to the system Of par
ceiling out Indian Reservations to diff.
ferent religious sects. We have never
yet teen cause for Withdrawing our oh
jections. The new Secretary, who has
had much observation and experience
on the frontier, now makes bold to de-
clare that the system has proved de-
cided failure and that hs shall not
continue that system. 1t practically
has attempted to make Indian Agents
amendable to two governments, which
in all things are not in harmony and
he struggle for supremacy of different
sects among the Indians on the same

c'unsels Of the Indians and fosters
feuds that are hard to heal.

A FEMALE TYPE-SETTER.

Of all the occupations in which
woman can engage for the purpose of
making an honest living the most
thankles is that of setting type.
The female compostor leads weary,
dreary life. She is never permitted
70 strike fat take, she is denied the
inest;mable boon of setting up the
thoughtful matter, which elnanates
from the editorial room, she is never
capable of handling manuscript, and
the very idea Of her being compe-
tent to set upa display head, is deemed
atrtcious. She is expected to hammer
away on miscellaneous reprint; the on
ly bonanza she ever strikes is solid
minion, with an occasional cares of
loaded BREWER when the business man.
ager concludes that advertising is dull
enough to admi: of the biggest kind of
type. But this is not all-no, the
worst remains to be told. When the
work is done for the day, it is no, with
the female printer as with others of
the trade. She cannot adjourn to q
convenient and comfortable saloon, or
olay pedro or old sledse for the beer,
or shake dice for five cent cigar, or
JEFF for the drinks. She must pick
her way home through all sorts of
weather to dreary night and cold
bed. She has no wife to thrash; no
children to scold; no furniture to
break; none Of those sweet Injuries
which are supposed to form part and
parcel of, the glorious art preventative.
AS class, female printers are dill

never prowl among the exchanges for

are gentle, patient, conscientious aud
reliable. They peg right along for
