The Doctors Experience.

"If you please, uncle" said Nanny
Juniper, 81 would like to speak to
YOU"
Old Doctor Juniper dropped his
newspaper in dismay; the spectacles
fell Imply off his nose.
you don't mean to tell me" said
he, that them cider-barls sprung
leak ag'in!'
NO, uncle" said Mamie, nervously,
pleating the frill of her apron, and
changing color as she spoke.
Then the red COW is got astray,"
groaned the doctor. at does beat all
how careless the neighbors are about
their bars"
The red cow is all right, uncle"
said Nanny. Its about myself that I
wanted to speak"
Doctor Juniper drew a long breath
of relief
"Ohr' said he, "about yourself?
Well, if it is a new dress, you've had
two already since Thanksgiving Day;
and if you want to take lessons of the
wax-fower woman, l think it's ali
stuff and nonsense. So there! Just
hand me up the paper, Nanny, there's
a good girl, and see what nice blue
berry dumpling you'll make me for
dinner"
"Uncle," persisted Nanny. 81 don't
think you understand. II am not
satisfied
Not satiSfied?" repeated the doctor,
opening his small, blue eyes to their
utmost capacity.
81 should like you to pay me wages"
went on Nanny; because, uncle
don't you see?-Pm doing all the work
of the house, and saving you the ex-
pense of a hired girl, and I haven't a
penny that can call my own; and if
it's ever so small an allowance, uncle,
don't you see that it would save me the
modification of coming to you for ev-
cry yard of tape and paper Of needles
that l want?"
NONSENSE roared the doctor.
81 shouldn't ask for it, uncle, If /
didn't feel l deserved il" pleaded Nam
ny.
Rubbish said her uncle.
six dollars month isn't such a
great deal of money" urged Nanny.
"And 1 have lived here eight years al
ready for nothing, you know"
"For nothing, eh ?" said Doctor Ju-
niper, severely. 81 s'pose your board
and lodging don't count; nor yet your
clothes. All, the parson was right
when he preached, last Sunday week,
about the rank ingratitude of the hu-
man race. There never was anything
like it-neYerl"
"Of course I'm very much obliged
for all that you have done for me, un-
cle," said Nanny, "But I'm two-and-
twenty now, and / really feel that I
can earn little money of my own.
And if you think six dollars is too
much, I shall be very thankful for
fve."
"Ah, indeedF' said Doctor Juniper,
satirically. "Quite moderate, I'm surel
But, you see, our ideas don't ezackly
agree. If you amt satisfied with
things as they be, you're welcome to
better yourself"
"Uncle!" cried Nanny, her =; eyes
brimming over with tears.
"What I say I mean," said Doctor
Juniper, resuming the study of his
newspaper. "And now I'd like the
chance to read spell afore I 60 out
into the maple-paSture.
And, surreptitiously eyeing her de-
parting figure over the rims of his
glasses, the old man chuckled to HIM
self:
81 calc'late I've settled that busi-
ness. Wages, indeed! Times has come
to pretty pass, when my own niece
wants wages for doing my house
work."

CENSUS VITAL STATISTIC y.
A Years Deaths in the United States
The Causes OF Death, and other
IntorestInE Facts.

An article in the New York Sun
SAYS that according to the last census,
75G,893 persons died in the United
States during 1880. The death rate
for the whole Union was therefore
l5.l to the thousand. That is low
rate, and yet it was much higher than
that given in 1870, which was only
1873 per thousand, while the death
rate according to the census of 1860
was 1915.
Bat the apparent increase in 1880
was due entirely to more complete
returns of deaths, and even the figures
for that year cannot be regarded as
accurate Except in comparatively
small number of communities, vital
statistics are not gathered in the
United States after scientific system.
The actual mortality of the Union Is
probably somewhere between eighteen
and nineteen per thousand, instead OF
a little over fifteen. But that is low
rate Us compared with European
countries, the death rate for the whole
Of England having been 2O.5 per
thousand in 1880, and for Scotland,
2l.3 in 1878.
OF the 756,893 deaths recorded in
the census returns 640,191 were of
whites, out of total white popula-
ton of 43,4O2,970, and 116,702 of
negroes, out of total colored pOpu-
lation of 6,752,813. The apparent
death rate, therefore. was 14.74 among
the whites, and 1928 among the
negroes.
OF the deaths reported 391, 800 were
of males and 364,933 of females, the
total living population having been
25,5lS,S20 males and 24,636, 900
females. For every thousand deaths OF
females there were 1,074 of males.
The proportion of males dying IN
infancy was also greater than that OF
females. OF the 390,644 males who
died 1885 were under five years of
age, while of the 363,674 females who
died 138,926 were under five years;
that is, the proportion of deaths under
five years of age to all deaths recorded
was 41951 per thousand among males,
while among females it was only
38l.S5. Nearly half the male NOR
tality was among very young children
The causes of death were reported
in only 733,84O cases, and the follow
ing table gives the number of deaths
from each of the ten principal causes:
Millheim Journal. [volume] (Millheim, Pa.) 1876-1984, 1883-04-05

Consumption was, as always, the
great Scourge, and it carried off con-
siderably larger proportion of females
than of males, the deaths from that
cause being 4O,619 males to 50,932 fe-
males. 1t is very instructive to OBJ
serve that the mortality from consump-
ton in the North Atlantic and Lake
regions was highest in the small towns
and agricultural districts, while on
the Gulf coast it was greatest in the
CITY of New Orleans, with its wretched
sewerage and drainage system.
Enteric or typhoid fever is also more
especially a disease of the country
rather than the city. The better
drainage which ordinarily prevails in
the large towns makes them less liable
to that fever than the smaller COM
munities and scattered settlements,
where necessary precautions against
the pollution of the water supply are
not generally taken, and accumulations
of filth in vaults and cesspools are
common. Malarial fevers likewise
were more prevalent and more fatai
proportionately in the smaller COM
munities than in the great cities. The
same was the case with diphtheria.
The report of the number of deaths
due to accidents and injuries is inter

SAVANNAH MARKET.
OFFICE oRTHE MORNING NEWS,

WEEKLY hEfOkI.
GENERAL Misunderstanding of special in
terest is noteworthy in connection with the
condition Of the general market since our last
report. though every department has done
fifr shQre OF trade on the best of account,
uuindueneed By a spirit of speculation. The
regular channels OF trade have not been
sariously affected by the stringeney which
has existed during a couple OF weeks
iu the money market. Fortunately. there are
.pHcatiOns that money will be somewhat
easier. inasmuch as there Is an increase of
reserves reported in bank and on account of
ffe fact that the Secretary of the Treasury
has issued an order to prepay the bonds Of the
10th cali to the amount Of s., OOO 900 for three
-rrcessive Wednesdays commencing with
Tie ith Of April, which win insure liberal
s5w from the Treasury. In the dry goods de-
rar-ment the firmness noted iii our former re-
-1rt still continues, though business was COM
-sratfvely quiet toward the close of the week.
The provision market has been firm with a
fair demand. Bfeadstufs have shown less
animation, and flour, ct the close Of the week,
is reported fiat at the quotations which ap-
pear below.
NAVAL STOREs.-The market in naval stores
has shown increased activity since our former
rzr1rt and there is more frmness, especially
in she finer grades Of pales. The transactions
are chiefly made in small lots. Turpentine
onened steady early in the week but since has
continued to manifest increased strength,
mainly on account Of a slight advance re-
ported at Wilmington. The demand has been
comparatively light, whilst the market closes
firm with half cent advance in regulars.
COTTON.-Nothing has occurred since our
last report to stimulate very strong feeling
tn the staple. In truth, buyers have for some
time had avery high regard for the king Of
the produce market, and they have shown
their appreciation Ofhim by keeping their dis
tance His pulse has been either dull, easy or
quiet, but more generally quiet. The sales
for the week amount to less than 6,O0O bales
at this point. We-gIve the official quota
