PECULIAR FRINGE.


 The Prince of Montenegro seems to be a issued an order abolishing titles of every sort throughout luis dominions. It is said that titles had got to be pretty common in Montenegro. Almost every other man you met was an Excellency, an Honorable or 8 General, and now there is not so much as Q Colonel or an Adjutant left in the whole county Even the highest ministers of State are only plain Mister. Of course the Prince of Montenegro belongs to the very worst order of tyrants. We do not know what the state of things may be in Montins- gro, but such decree in free country like ours would render existence intolerable. What.would the American statesman think if after life of devotion to his country's ser vice he could not be called Honorable Mis-, ter?" What are the rewards of ambition, we should like to know, in the country of tn Black Mountain We do not know whethe,r ,r there can be any such thing as militia in tiais barbarous principality but if there is Tow cruelty they must have suffered. Think of militia company commanded by MT. Jones and Mr. by Smith, second in command. Imae inc brigade without brigadier general a regiment where you only know @ colonel from 8 corperal by his surname. But this is not the worst of it. The Prince has followed up his ukase by another still more atrooious. He has forbidden his subjects to wear 6hite gloves, feathers and the like. It wonld be vain to speculate upon the possible motives of such an inhuman tJrant, but if he lived in this country we should say he entertained sin gular spite against the militia.
 It is said that both the Prince and his sub jects are great fighters and are very brave and successful in actual warfare. This may be so, but we should like to know how he manages to hold dress parade. Some sort of an actual battle may perhaps take place without titles or glovss, but there can be no parades.
 After all, Montenegro is not much more than half civilized. We congratulate the citizens of this Commonwealth that they do not live under any sucT1 deanntisuo

EDITORIAL NOTES,

It is thought that the new postal notes will be used for currency in the West. This use of them ought to have been provided against MT. Henry A. Richmond, one of the Dem ecratic members of the New York civil ser vice reform commission, is the right kind of reformer. He has publicly offered reward of $50 for evidence that may lead to the ar- rest and conviction of each and every person guilty of violating the provisions of the new law for the protection of primaries at any caucus held by the Democratic party during the present year in his own ward in Buffalo. Complaint has been made that coIored men are not given their fair proportion of govern ment money. This complaint is not we'll founded 50 far as the Interior department is concerned. There are about thirty one hum dred employees in this department, and the colored men have two hundred and four rep resentatives among them. Seventy of these colored employees are clerks or copyists. In the pension office an assistant chief of . division and principal examiner are eolored. Ex-Governor W. W. Holden of North
 
 Carolina said in his card procIaiming his re- turn to the Democratic party that Register Bruce and his wife were not ciEilly treated on recent southern trip,and Mr. Bruce has published 2 card contradicting the statement and saying that he and his wife have officially and socially been brought in contact with the most respectable white ladies and gentlemen of all sections North and South, and have on all occasions received due consideration and courtesy. His wife, he says, has never been further South than Washington.

plan is in operation in England by which it is hoped te obtain a mass of information from physicians that will serve as basis for
 more intelligent treatment of disease This plan is entitled '.the collective investigation
 of diseases" The first volume of the record has been published, and con- tains much that is interesting. Under the inquiry relating to acute pneumonia, it is found that of 1s6 cases of that affection among temperate patients 1e.4 per cent
 died, while out of 22 incorporate patients no less than 4O.5 per cent. succumbed. It fur 11.2 per cent. died. Concerning this malady further points of interest are stated, such ss those which relate to the influence of sex, sanitary and meteorological conditions, etc., as also the hitherto disputed fact that it is sometimes a communicated disease. The summary of large number of replies con- corning the communicability of consumption points strikingly to the conclusion that phthisis is a communicable disease. Two hundred and sixty-one observers report one or more instances in which it was oommuni- cated; 158 of these cases were passed from husband to wife, and 81 were observed be- tween members of the same family. No case was reported where the medical attendant of a consumptive was infected, though nurses seem to have been so frequently. If this plan of investigation is properly carried out it may prove very valuable.

Governor Blackburn has no apologies to make to the people of Kentucky, or anybody else. for his wholesale pardoning. In justi- fcation of his course he stated that seventy four conviets died during the first year of his term, the principal causes being scurvy, naal- aria and fever that Kentucky had nearly two hundred more convicts than she had cells to put them in and that out of one hundred he released on single day Cat the request of the legislature) nearly all have since depart ed this life. He added '1 thank God !. have the courage here to declare, in t.he presence of the people of my native State that before such horrible atrocity and cruelty should have long oontinued, I weuld have issued pardons until the number of prisoners did not exceed the number of cells. For my acts have no apologies to make"

Professor s. Wells Williams in an article published some time ago in these columns expressed the belief that the prevalent esti- mates of the population of China were much too high. European statisticians are now re- ducing their estimates of this population Behen and Wagner reduce their estimates for China and Corea from ASA, 500, 900 to 379,- 5000 Peterson reduces his estimate by seventy-ive millions, making the present to- tai three hundred and fifty millions. Dr. Happer, missionary, believes this can safely be reduced another fifty millions. Mir. Hip pisley, acting Commissioner of Customs, thinks two hundred and fifty millions more nearly correct than three hundred and fifty millions. The losses by the Taeping and Mohammedan rebellions, and by the famine and pestilence which swept the provinces of Chih, Shantung, Shansi, Shensi and Honan are variously estimated at from sixty-one to eighty-one millions.

A few days ago we gave an account of a new religion which had sprung up in an Illi- nois town, under the superintendence Of two ex-Methodist ministers, Messrs Obenshain and Rayburn. These gentlemen have col lected good many disciples, whom they call Pilgrims and Obenshain has had 'srevela. tion'' allowing him to have more than one fs- male companion. A temple for the new worship had been built and was to have teen dedicated last Sunday. But Friday night the temple was burned, and during the fire there was an explosion which 1t was thought was intended to blow Obenshain into Kingdom come," as he had been accustomed to sleep in the temple. Evidently the new religion is not universally popular among those who know the most about it. Perhaps this occur renee will be the means of making Mir. Oben- shain and his victims migrate, though he has announced that he intends to rebuild the tsm- pie at once.

Boys and Girls.

IF I had dozen children I should
want them all boys said Mrs. Thrifty,
Boys can take care of themselves,
they are energetic, enjoyable, and it
doesn't take half as much sewing to
keep family of boys along"
"Now, if I should have any CHI dice, :"
said Mrs. Workhard, II should rather
have my children all girls. Girls are
so gentle. so hopeful. and have so much
more refinement than boys; and then it
is such pleasure to sew for them, they
look so prettily in the garments made
for lhem."
VERY we'll. ladies'" said Mrs. Sensi-
BILE, you are both right and wrong. 1
believe in mixed family-part boys,
part girls. TIE boys influence the girls
to self-reliance, the girls refine the
boys by their gentleness. A boy who
is brought up with his sisters makes
the most manly man, and the girl who
is brought up with brothers makes the
most womanly woman. New Haven

MRS. GOULD CASHIER OF THE GOULD
FIRM.-A friend of mine in the City Hall
tells me that Jay Gould's property is in
his wifes name. He claims that he got
his facts from first hand, and gives all
necessary names and dates. A contrac-
tor living on Seventy eighth street and
Third avenue had an attachment against
Jay Gould for repairs on his property up
on the Hudson. Gould refused to meet
the demand, because he thought it was
excessive. The man thereupon got an
attachment and sent deputy sheriff to
Irvineton. The deputy made thorough
examination and found that every bit of
Gould's property. including furniture,
farm implements, live stock. house and
ground, we're in Mrs. Goulds name.
All household checks are made by Mrs.
Gould.

The BunkO SwindIe.

The care and skill with which the
bunko swindle is conducted is illustrated
by the experience of a visitor who said
he allowed himself roped in for fun. A
sweat board was introduced in the usual
manner, and stool-pigeon lost a few
dollars. He wished the visitor to play
for him with his money, and the latter
frs twon, but afterwards lost. At length
he was told that he was indebted on his
account to the extent of $500. II have
not the money with me-" he replied.
"Then give me check, was the fellow
suggestion; Il suppose you have bank
account; or won't that be convenient"
1t occurred to the visitor that to sign q
check would cost nothing, as could go
Immediately around to the bank and stop
payment. A blank check was produced
and he filed it out. The gambler scru-
tizized it and then dried the ink with q
newspaper in lieu of blotter.
The stool-pigeon had bee quiet for
. while. Now he suddenly broke
out: "This is q friend of mine," he ex-
claimed, savagely, land I won't see him
swindled; he shan't let you have his
check for cent" He grabbed the
check, tore it into bits. and threw them
on the floor. "Come, "and be seized the
visitor by the arm; "lets get out of this
den." There was an excited protest by
the other chap, says the narrator, but we
went out unhindered, and parted with
Dan on the corner, receiving his con-
graduation on having escaped un-
scathed. On returning to the hotel I
gave to the detective there an account of
what had happened, explaining that I
intended to stop payment on the check,
but that no such precaution was now
necessary. Don't you lose a minute in
going to the bank" he said. "or they'll
get there with the check before you. It
was destroyed? Not bit of it. A news
paper lay on the desk, didn't it? and he
put the check between its folds, face
downward, as if to blot it. Then the
stool pigeon snatched out, not the check
itself, but blank one that had been
previously placed there. This dummy
was what Dan tore up, and the real
check was left safe and sound. That's
the way they prevent their victims from
stopping payments"

common idea, which will no doubt have
its usual currency during the holiday
season, that seasickness, however I'M.

very good for you" Many victims
probably feel inclined to say. like Neb-
uchadnezxar, "as he ate the unaccus-
toned food" lin the famous prize poem) i.

good" Even the theory that seasic ness
is wholesome becomes, however, rather
doubtful in the face OF an inquest which
was held recently, and which showed
that lady's maid had died on the wa

effects of continued seasickness. The
