about Dying.

Democrats Monthly.
When one is still young and IN
health it is natural that death should
be an object of fear. but it is not
true that those whs are very sick fear
the end. DR.. Grlswold, an eminent
physician. who has seen many death
beds declares that the dying do not
fear death, but rather desire it. To
pass away when the time comes IS IN
the order of nature, and we ali sub
mi. to the inevitable without muir
rnur. Nor is 1t true that death is at
tended with any superstitious terrors
for strangely enough. all physicians
agree that the diving think of the past
not the future. Death itself is not
painful there is no pang of mental
agony except IN case of wounds or
premature death. There is often
terrible suffering from disease, but
death is ALWAYS relief. It's idle as
we'll as wicked to make death seem
horrible or painful. Indeed. to myr-
lads of human beings II Is looked up
on as deliverer from pain and care.

ment, as to figures, that 1 ask little space to
correct them in justice to myself.
At the presidential election in 1850, New

formation from the secretaries of the above
named states as to the number of polling
places in those states, which make total of
S,Gl2 polling places-an average of 313 votes
to each polling. place.
The full vote in 1880 was 9,20l42S, which,
divided by 373, gives 24,670 polling places
not 60,000, as stated by your reporter. The
voting machines are made in u durable man

new ones would be needed for very many
years, and they can he made one.fourth the

PICTURESQUE ROME.
The Fourth OF Mr.. spnulding's Course OF
Lectures Mt Lincoln Hall.

The Rev. Henry G.. Spaulding last evening
large and apprcciativc audience. As in the
preceding lectures his stereopticon views were
very fine. The speaker referred to Rome as
the great city of visible history, and spoke of
the science of historic archaeology rs the most
useful guide to living knowledge of past
ages After describing the "R Rome of Romu-
lus /" and its marvellous growth in the early
centuries Mr.. Spaulding gave detailed de-
scrption of the aquCducts, baths, and foun-
tains of the later imperial age. Passing to the
more famous monuments of the City of the
Cnsars, he made these the illustrations of
the characteristic traits of Roman architect
urc. A fino view ON the screen showed the
arch of Scptimius Severus at the foot of the
Capitolino hill. This arch, the lecturer said,
illustrates the peculiar defects of classical Ro-
man architecture, the massive piers and
spacious vaults of the arch itself being dis
figured by foreign dress of Greek columns,
which had no constructive relation to the ed
ifiCc. In contrast with this arch view of
the Parthenon was shown, and it was pointed
out that the columns of that famous Greek
temple were at the same time the principal
elements of its construction and of its dccora-
ton Several other Roman arches were illus
trated and described; and restoration of
one of these arches was giyen in connection
with which the lecturer gave detailed de-
scripton of Roman triumph.
The Roman temples were next considered,
the remains of some of the most famous of
them illustrated and described, and the pecu-
liar features of the old pagan religion, which
these temples represent, were discussed. The
lecturer next discussed in detail the ruins and
monuments of the Roman forum, several
views of which were shown, the last being a
splendid restoration of the forum rs it ap-
peared in the days of the Caesars In such
scenes, said the lecturer the imagination
easily takes fire, and we can understand what
Balzac meant when he said, "lf L sit and
dream IN hour in old Rome ! am learning
more than if l studied whole month any
where else in the world"
The next lecture tomorrow evening" will
treat of the various amusements of the old
Roman world, with full and finely illus
trated description of the coliseum and the
gladiatorial games. At the close of the lee
ture Mr.. Spaulding will exhibit the series of
beautiful colOrcd slides used in the previous
lectures, including the superb illustrations of
Vcsuvus and Pompeii.

ending Juno 30, 1882, the official records show
there were licensed 457 wholesale liquor
dealers paying $1O,s23 license fee, and $50
retail liquor dealers paying 51100, and that
there were 105 liquor establishments
which paid personal tax upon their stock of
S3-2 making n total revenue derived to the
district from the wholesale and retail
branches of $62,305, against u cost to
the citizens for policing the city, hos
pital. reform school, criminal court
and other expenses of over 100000, and this
after dcducting 90 per cent. as the cost of
other sources of crime. In these 906 estab-
lishments are employed over 1000 persons, or
nearly four times as great number rs the
teachers employed in the public schools, and
more than ten times the number of cergymen
employed in opposing crime Averaging the
amount expended in each establishment at Sl2
per day for 313 days and it gives grand total
of $3,7i0,000 expenditure per annum, or put
