THE FALLING RIVERS.
The Stream Changes its Channel at
Helena, Ark.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, March 14.--An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Helena. Ark.
says: 'The gauge this morning shows
forty-siX feet four inches, decline of one
inch during the night. A line of skiffs
has been started between this point, Johns
town and ClarkSdale, Miss, and fiat boats
are delivering goods back through the
country in the accessible streams.
The Pacific and Southern Express
Companies have resumed their regular
runs. Over the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
and southern Railroad, business is gener-
ally resuming. For the first time in many
years there is swift current coming
down the shore, indicating disposition
ON the part of the river to change its chan
mel in this vicinity. Should this occur the
big bar III front of Helena will be greatly
diminished if not washed away, while the
present channel of the river will again
fill up.
MEMPHIS, March 1.-THE river Tonight
marks thirty-fOur feet and three inches.
Memphis is again in direct telegraphic
communication with Helena, Ark. The
officers of the steamboat Kate Adams re-
port that the LacOnia circle is inundated
from the break which occurred Saturday
morning. An Ap peal dispatch from
Helena says there has been three
iHCneS ldlt uuflng the IWenty-fOur hours
ending tonight. The total decline is nine
inches. The gauge now marks forty-six
feet and three inches. Island No. 81 has
almost disappeared, and nothing but
mere dot now marks the spot where that
large island once appeared. The back
water from the White river uniting with
the overflow from the Hubbard
and the old town breaks has submerged
large region of country in Beaver BAYOU
and the lower Big creek section, which
was never before known to be inundated
from any cause, Owing to these
hitherto high points having al
ways stood the Overflows, no
stock was driven out. Consequently
there has been an absolute annihilation
OF every kind of live stock, together with
large number of deer and other game.
TWO cabins, occupied one by
white and the other by colored
families, suddenly disappeared from the
mouth of the bayou during one night last
week, and no tidings of the occupants
have been heard since. The supposition
is that all the people Derished.

Deaths in the United States.

According to the last census. 75e. .se3
persons died in the United States durino
1880. The death rate for the whole Union
was therefore l5.1 to the thousand. That
Is low rate, and yet it was much higher
than that given in 1870, which was only
l2.S per thousand, while the death rate
according TO the census of 1860 was 12.5.
But 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 COM
munitles. vital statistics are not gathered
in the United States after scientific
system. The actual mortality of the
Union is probably somewhere between
Is and 10 per thousand, instead of a little
over 10. But that is low rate as COM
pared with European countries, the death
rate Tor the whole of England having been
2O.5 per thousand in 1880, and for Scotland
2l.3 in 1878.
OF the I56, 1913 deaths recorded in the cen
sus returns, $40, 191 were of whites. out of
a total white population of 43. 402, $40, and
1l6, I02 of negroes, out of total cOlored
population of. 6,152,S13. The apparent
death rate, therefore, was 14.74 among the
whites, and 11.2S among the negroes. A
greater relative mortality among colored
infants in the Southern States largely eX-
must be accepted as proved, we suppose,
since, deficient as the mortality statistics
among the whites may be, there is good
reason for regarding the returns of negro
mortality as still more incomplete.
OF the deaths reported, 39l, $50 were of
males and S64,933 of females, the total
living population having been 25,51S, $40
males and 24,636, 1853 females. For every
thousand deaths of females there We're
l ,074 of males.
The proportion of males dyingin in infancy
was also greater than that of females, OF
the 390,644 males who died 163, $50 were
under five years of age, while of the 363,-
S14 females who died 1895 were under
five years; that is, the proportion of deaths
under five years of age TO all deaths re-
corded was 4I9.5l per thousand among
males, while among females it was only
3S1.S5. Nearly half the male mortality
was among very young children.
The causes of death were reported in
only 733, $40 cases, and the following table
gives the number of deaths from each of
10 fa.a
Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1883-03-15

Consumption was, as always, the great
scourge, and it carried off considerably
larger proportion Offemales than Ofmales,
the deaths from that cause being 1860
males to 90, 932 females. 1t is very in
structive to observe that the mortality
from consumption 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 wretch
edsewerage and drainage system.
Enteric or typhoid fever is also more
especially disease of the country rather
than the city. The better drainage which
ordinarily prevails in the large towns
makes them less liable to tnat fever
than the smaller communities and scat
tered settlements, where necessary pre-
cautions against the pollution of the
water supply are not generally taken, and
accumulatiOns of filth in vaults and cess
pools are common. Malaria feyers like
wise were more prevalent and more fatal
propOrtiOnately in the smaller communi-
ties than in the great cities. The same
was the case with diphtheria.
The great city, especially since the in
crease of sanitary knowledge. has many
advantages over the country with respect
to health. 1t has crowded population,
it is true, but its comparatively confined
air may be less injurious to the inhabi-
tants than that which sweeps over an open
country, where it may watt poison from
swamps and marshes, and where a scien-
tific system of sewerage and drainage is
hardly practicable.

John Howard Payne, the author of
"Home, Sweet Home" A crowd of
vulgar busy.bodies, who would advertise
themselves through the funeral, are
scorned away by Judge Goodwin of the
Salt Lake Tribune thus: "Keep the
rabble from around that catafalque. They
have no business and no right there.
When Payne needed them; when a kind
word and a warm grasp of the hand
might have given the courage which the
lack Of caused him to falter. they had no
response for him. He does not need
them now, and they should not intrude
upon him. The anguish and the distress
have all passed away, and it is nothing
to him whether his songs fill the world
with music or whether the GOODNESS Of
those who work merely for money fill the
world with frost. He has obtained what
he sought for SO long in vain. rest, and
that rest should not be disturbed by the
near footsteps of the men who let him
starve. Make the Payne obsequies almost
private. and permit only choice spirits to
gather around, for the spot in which his
dust shall sleep will be holy ground"
