The Cost of Sickness.

think, then, that we can not escape
from the reasons to believe that we lose
in England and Wales every year, in
consequence sof sickness, 100000
weeks work; or, say, as much work as
100000 600 healthy people would do in
q week.
The number is not easily grasped by
the mind. 1t is equal to about one
fortieth part of the work done in each
year by the whole population between
10 and 60 years old. Or, try to think
of it in money. Rather more than half
of it is lost by those whom the Regis
trar General names the domestic, the
agricultural, and the industrial classes
These are more than Z, 500, 600 in num-
Der, and they lose about 100000
weeks; say, for easy reckoning, at FL o
week; and here is loss of Ell 900, 900
sterling from what should DO the an
nual wealth of the country. For the
other classes, who are estimated as
losing the other 5000, 600 weeks work,
il would be hard and unfair TO make a
guess in any known coin; for these in
clude our great merchants, our judges
and lawyer, and medical men, our
statesmen and chief legislators; they
include our poets and writer's of all
kinds, musicians, and philosophers
and our princes, who certainly do more
for the wealth and welfare of the
country than can be told in money

ONE of the liveliest campaigns that
were ever CARRIED on in North Carolina
was the one iif'which Vance and Judge
Settle competed for the Governorship.
All the white Democrats turned out to
hear Vance, and all the colored Repub-
hcans to hear Settle. On one occasion,
at the conclusion of the speaking,
Vance was informed that there were
some charming young ladies who de-
sired to testify their devotion to the
Democratic party by kissing the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor. Moth
ing loath, Vance descended from the
platform and kissed dozen or so young
beauties from the Old North State,
when he paused long enough to turn
around toward his competitor and
shout: Settle, I'm kissing my women
you kiss yoursp On account of their
race and previous condition of servi-
tude, Settle did not kiss the feminine
Republicans.
