Englishmen who burrow in statis-
tics are rejoicing to find that since
1872, when public health legislation
began, the death rate in England has
declined. Between 1888 and 1854 the
mean mortality was 22.5 per thou
sand; between 1876 and 1880, over 20;
between 1881 and 1882, 1913. The in
crease of vitality has been more no
ticeable in the female than in the
male sex; a fact thus stated-"men
live two years longer than they did
thirty years ago, and women three
years and four months longer" The
advance OF teetotalism is credited
with a portion of this gain in longev-
ity. America, we are inclined to think,
can boast no advance as to health and
length of life. While there is less
drunkenness than formerly in the
United States. the liquor drunk is
more deadly than of yore, and smok-
ing is on the increase. American
women destroy their vigor and proper
functional capacity by lacing, and OF
late years a fearful prev alence of
bronchial and pulmonary diseases
challenges our doctors We have
much to learn flom the English; and
the exasperating thing is that those
persons among us who have Anglo
manias, are eager to initiate, not the
excellencies of the English, but their
vanities, affectations and fOllies. gen
orally. They have rare instinct foI
whatever is trashy in British charac-
ter and life.

1t was opportune in 1880. 1t was
appropriate, it embodied an issue that
was calculated to insure its success.

1t is quite as ill-suited to the times

people will view with interest the

glo-Saxon has ceased to be the
language of England. The copious,
rich and beautiful Greek language
was becoming the language of cul-
ture and of thought. Christ thus
did not address himself merely to a
province, but to the world. He
spoke the language that was undec-
stood in Egypt, in Italy, in Greece,
in Asia Minor, in Southern France
and in Arabia. 1t was the
language of civilization; and it was
the civilization of that era which ac
cepted Him, while the Hebrews re-
jected him. He spoke Greek, doubt
less, with the dialect of Nazareth or
Galilee, as he often spoke His native
tongue to the people of His own pro-
vince but the Scriptures which lie
used in teaching the people were the
Greek Scriptures, and the language i'll
which he preached was the language
in which the gospels and epistles were
written.

Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati
EnquirerI
The Washington Sunday Herald
has the following interesting gossip
as to the holders of the United States
securities:
The semi-annual payment of inter
est on registered United States bonds,
which occurs in January and June, is
now being made. While it is very
difficult to obtain exact information
as to the largest receivers of interest
from this class of United States
bonds, yet, like almost anything Selse
here, it can be had if one wants it
bad enough. This year the. largest
single bond-holder the treasury de-
partment Knows is Mr.. Vanderbilt,
who receives the interest on $37 7,000,-
600. A year ago he had $50,0O0,000,
but he has disposed of $13,OO0,O00 for
some purpose.
The next largest owner is Mrs. a.
T. Stewart, who has about $30,0O0,-
600. As some of hers are coupon
bonds, the amount of her holding can
not exactly be told. Ten years ago
Mr.. A. L. Stewart had $40,O00,OO0 in
bonds, the most of them being skies.
Mr.. Gould has $13,O00,000 in register
ed bonds, which he keeps to use as
collateral in Wall street when he
needs large sums of money. A Cali
fornia millionaire Mr.. Flood, is the
next largest holder. He has $l5,O00,-
600. Then there is an estate in BoS-
ton and three or four persons in New
Y York who have each $10,000,O00, and
a lady in New York, unmarried, too
has $8O00,O00. The estate of Moses
Taylor, in New York, has $5,0O0O00
and d. o. Mills, Whitelaw Reid's fa
ther-in-law, 100000.
On the other side of the water
American securities are very popular
and are preferred to those of othel
nations, because the rate of interest
is higher than that paid by any othel
great power. The house of the
Rothschilds holds nearly one-quartel
of Americas whole bonded debt, as
including all the bankers of tha
name, they have S400,OO0.O00 BaroI
Leopold and Sir Nathan Meyer dl

ago, brought to her really impover
ished husband S20,OOOOO0 in Ameri
can four and One-halfs.

A PROMINENT colored Republican
of Ohio says the Republicans of Ohio
will never elect Foraker. He says the
colored element throughout the state
will not support him. Several weeks
ago.when the question of his possible
nomination for.governor came up, a
movement was started to find out
who Foraker was He says:
Il was in this city at the time, and
1 knew the man and promptly inform
ed my friends that he was the lawyer
who figured against the civil rights
bill before the state supreme court to
the detriment of the cOlored people.
That fact remembered, the cOlored
people are now UP in arms against
him. In Greene county the colored
Republicans have already passed re-
solutions repudiating mis- nomination
and have appointed committee to
canvass the state TO urge his defeat.
The informant of the reporter ex-
hibited letters and kilograms in cor
roboration of his statement. The
gentleman is weIlknown politician.
His work for the Republicans in the
west is known, ard what he asserts
concerning the possible defeat of For
aker. cannot be questioned, being the
views of a careful and far-seeing man

More Star Routing.

WASHINGTON, June BIN obe-
dience to the direction of Judge

court at 1875 to receive instructions
on the points of laY. Before being
seated, the foreman stated that Juror
Vernon, who was sick during the
night and fell on the floor in fit, is
now under the care of a physician.
The remaining jurors then returned to
their room.
Marshal Fossett reported that Yer
non was sitting up and would soon
be all right.
Judge Wylie said, 81 have a good
deal of doubt in my mind in regard
to the consequesences of this occur
renee. This man has been drinking
good deal. He is a hard drinker.
During the progress of the trial on
one occasion, I had to take him aside
and give him pretty sharp admoni-
5tion, and he promised to abstain, but

doubtedly; but attacks of this kind

Deputy Marshal; He is all right
now."
Judge Wylie then said the jury
could come back.
The jury came in and Foreman
Crane said, "Your honor, one of the
jury desires to ask question of the
court. To most of us it seems ques
ton of fact, but we prefer to let Har-
rigan speak for HIMSELF
Judge Wylie-"The court will hear
his question and if it be a question of

it."
juror Harrigan then arose and in a
confused manner put a question to
| the court of almost unintelligible
character, which seemed to relate to
the date of certain orders made by
Brady and to the nature of the Stun
bling block which Brady said he had

Judge Wylie-"The question is of
fact and not of law, and it is not for
the court to instruct you in that con-
nection.

How He Fell.
rs. A. Express.l

The trial of Major Wasson, one of
the most remarkable in character
ever before court martial, has been
concluded, though it will be some
time before the result is positively
known. The testimony as to charac-
ter, all went to place the defendant in
the most enyiable light before the
world up to the commission of his Of
Tense. His friends were warm, true
and influential. He had a record any
man might be proud of, and there
seemed to be the very strongest
influences surrounding him to Keep
him in the path of rectitude;
bat he fell. The party of
gentlemen" found his weak point,
and ruin followed the discovery.
There will be much sympathy for
Wasson. Measured by dollars and
cents his offense was insignificant, as
compared to what it was in his power
to make it, and he has already paid a
severe penalty. He stumbled, and
became bewildered over what to most
men would have scarcely reached the
dignity of an embarrassment, and
that he should have been thrown
from so high place by so small an
obstruction in his path, must add In
creased torture to his mental agony

FOraker's Fatal Fee.

News journal washington opeclal.I
One of the clerks in the war depart
ment, colored man of prominence,
declares that Foraker will not get
1000 colored votes in Ohio, because of
his professional hostility to the civil
rights bill. He says he is in receipt
of letters daily from Ohio colored
men declaring their intention to work
against Foraker, and adds that cir
cnlar has been printed urging colored
men to stay away from the polls, or
if they go to the polls to vote against
Foraker He says that this circular
will undoubtedly have a vast infiu-
ence on the campaign, and if Hoadly
should be the Democratic candidate
hundreds of colored men from every
part of the state, remembering his
political antecedents, would vote
straight for him, feeling assured that
he would deal more justly by them
than Foraker, who, for the sake of &
fee, took sides against them when
race prejudices ran high.

A MOVEMENT is on foot looking to
uniformity of divorce laws in all the
states. 1t is known that what is a
penal offense regarding divorces in
one state may be avoided by going
across state lines. The effect of such
law was lately tried in New York,
where man was not permitted to
remain, under the divorce laws of
that state, and he went over into New
Jersey and did that which he could
not do in New York. An attempt
was made to prosecute finn in New
York, but the case was dismissed,
because having married in New Jer-
sey, he was not amenable to the law
of New York. 1t might be well for
the bar associations of the various
states to take up the subject, and in
time for nulate measures which, when
embodied into laws, would not make
justice apparently a mockery through
the conflict of laws.iE even adjoining
states.

of negro preacher, named Josiah
Henson, who has acquired fame as
having been the original of Mrs.
Stoves "Uncle Tom," states that the
disease from which he died chad been
aggravated by the cruel treatment he
experienced in slavery" Considering
that Mr.. Henson deceased in his nine
ty-fourth year, this is sufficiently alb
surd even for the Times. Ii he was
ill-used in early days his prolonged
life seems to prove that Carlyle was
right when he told Emerson that a

THE policy of selling vast bodies
of land to individuals and corpora
tions has resulted in turning almost
the entire area of Archer county over
to large land holders. The entire
county. including the county seat, is
now under enclosure. The fraudu
lent filing upon school lands may be
exposed and much valuable land, all
over the west, be reclaimed if the in
vestigating committee, authorized by
the last legislature, could ever be
properly organized. 1t seems, at pres
ent, that the plan is to be farce.
