st. Kits.

DR.. Branch of st. Kits has sent in, I'M
der date of % August, his Report on the
Vital Statistics of the Colony for the pre-
vi0uS quarter, from which we take the
following passages.
'"The mortality has been exceptionally
great 392 deaths in three months among
population Of some 5000, gives an an
nual death-rate OF about "a per Thousand.
1t is 131, or to put it another way, so per
cent above the average Of the correspond
ing seasons OF the seven previous years"
OF the total number Of fatal eases, 1874
per cent were from diseases of the aliamen-
tary system.
"Tetanus killed Is people, eight newly
born infants, two children, and three
adults. This is a comparatively large quart
erly score for that disease.
"The excessive death-rate of the quarter
is clearly attributable to the recent cpl
demic of measles, which has swept away
about 153 of our people during the half
year, and has scarcely vet ceased to in1u-
ence banefully our vital statistics. Only a
few deaths are scored to measles directly,
but it's sequelG, bowel and chest affections,
especially the former, have been very
fatal.
alt has probably been the worst cpl
demic of measles, both on account of the
severity of it's type and it's extensive pre-
v~alence, that has ever visited our shores.
One of it's most notable features was the
large proportion of middle-aged and old
persons who were attacked. This was
doubtless due to the rarity and usually
trivial character of outbreaks of measles i'll
these latitudes, and the consequent want
of protection by an attack in chill dh0Od OF
so MANY Of the adult population.
"The births during the quarter have

Subsistence in Cheshire.

The demand for salt is now so
great that the s~ubsidences usually to
be observed in the Cheshire saltields
are more APPARENT than ever, pnrticu-
larIy at Northwich. These cuIminnt-
ed on Friday in the settling down of
a vast body of earth, upon which a
boy in charge Of a horse was stand
ing. Both boy and horse were en-
quilted and would have been killed but
for the assistance speedily rendered
by onlookers. In order to form some
sort of an estimate of the quantity Of
brine extracted at Northwich and
Windstord, it may be stated that the
returns made up for last month show
that the exports of salt were 1877 998
tons, against 103,S7S tons for July
last year. Of this large quantity the
East Indies took not less than 46, 43l
tons, and the United States 1852
tons. The exports for July were,
with II exception, the heaviest for
any corresponding month for the past
seven years.

been definitely below the average, and
have consequently been immensely exceed
ed by the deaths, the difference being
116.
cit is not easy to form an accurate esti-
mate of the number of persons who suffer
ed from measles in this island during the
half year, because so many Of the milder
cases were never seen by the doctors. 1t
is probable however that over 1000 people,
or about one in seven of the whole popula-
ton, were attacked. The mortality has
been about one in thirty which is small
when compared with what is usual from
this complaint in cold climates, but is
high for epidemics of measles in these
islands.
at is said that the disease has been re-
markably severe throughout the West
Indies. Much reliance canno be placed
Oh registrars returns of several of the
neighbOuring colonies. Some, such of
those of Antigua and st. Croix, are we'll
kept, but others, as for example, the
Dominican, are evidently inaccurate 1t
is hoped that this part of the Public work
of these islands will soon be conducted on
a better system, so that it may be possible
to get an instructive history of the whole
of an important epidemic like that which
has just swept through the West Indies"
From aTable of the deaths furnished
by the Doctor we learn that 155 out Of
the 1872 were infants under one year, 81
more were between the 1st and 9Th years
so that PAT out of 800 were children under 5
years of age. A state of things some
what resembling which we have to lament

epidemic the season has not been n favour

Tonquin. From the first, however, we
found the hand of China everywhere.
Sometimes clandestinely, at other times
%arrogantly, she showed us that the inaccu-
rate estimate and obstinate ignoring OF our
strength were provoking, in the extreme
East, a boldneSs towards us which threat
ened our prestige and security. Chinese
diplomatistS have acted in a calcu-
lated to shock all our ideas and to wound
our susceptibilities. My love Of peace and
the prudence incumbent on me have often
obliged me to keep secret acts and words
which would have aroused the legitimate
pride of the French nation, and, as long as
it was consistent with my duty, | avoided
a rupture which seemed to be openly aimed
at. The Chinese diplomatists filed the
European, and even sometimes the French
newspapers with the most peridiOus in
situations, and their language seemed at
times Intentionally provocative. We had
long known that China paid the bands
fighting against us and disayOwed by her;
yet, as long as it was possible, we treated
with her as with a nation displaying good
faith. Even now, we refuse to regard the
TientSin Treaty as a trap, but remain con-
WINGED that the negotiations on both sides
were sincere. The trap and the audacity,
however, became apparent when, after the
Bac-Le ambuscade and treachery, China
adopted an offensive demeanour naturally
productive of disquietude. 1t was then
easy for her to apologize, and to ask us to
discuss the reparatiOn due in respect of
this event. Instead Of this she took a
naughty tone, and, though | dare scarcely
say it, her representatives went the length
of urging that it was she who was entitled
to claim an indemnity from us.
"In spite of all this we granted delay
after delay, though we'll aware that these
periods were utilized for making rcpara-
lions against us. At last, and cOnforma-
bly, to the voice of Parliament, had to put
an end to a sit uation in which our honour
seemed to be in jeopardy. China had sur
priced and betrayed us, our soldiers had
fallen in an ambush, and tbs punishment
Of the nation guilty Of it was imperative.
We have had to treat China, not like a
civilized nation anxious to 'atOne for an
unintpntiOnal breach Of faith, but as a
narbarous people DESTROYS of protiting by
its treachery. The! chaStisement has been
administered II we had to make it the
heavier because 1T was to put an end to
China'S preSumptuOus mistakes. We dream
of no conquest, nor do we want to disturb
the quietude of our w nation. What we
want is, the peaceful occupation of Ton,
Quin, and to enforce on China the respect
which she owes us. We shall do this.
When this object is attained, and when
China sincerely acknowledges that she has
been justly punished for miScalculating or
denying our power, there will be nothing in
this at which European interests need be
alarmed. On the contrary, this ought to
show Europe that we are acting in the III.
terest Of the civilized world"

Mr.. Gerhard Mennen,s Remarks.

representative OF BOLLES BROS. said
"There is no denying the fact that KTNsEY's
Tonic is medicine of wonderful merit. num-
Der ofmy customers say that during this oppres-

magical effect. In speaking of the prices of the
Tonic more than one customer here told me that
they would not be without the medicine if they
had 10 pay five dollars bottle for il. One gentle
man enthusiastically declared 1t was worth five
hundred dollars a bottle. From personal knowledge
can say that of customers to whom have sold a
bottle Of KINsEY's Tonic many have returned and
purchased more and in every instance declared
that the medicine was having beneficial effect up

"Little Brown HAnds.''
They drive home the COWS from the pasture,
Up through the long shady lane,
Where the quail whistles loud In the wheat field
All yellow with ripening grain.
They find, in the thick waving grasses
Where the scarlet-lipped strawberry grows,
They gather the earliest snow-drops,
And the first crimson buds of the rose.
They toss the hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder blooms white,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft-tinted october light.
They know where the apples hang ripest,
And are sweeter than Italy's wines,
They know where the fruit is the thckest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines
They gather the delicate sea weeds,
And build tiny castles OF sand;
They pick up the beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land
They wave from the tall, rocking tree-tops,
Where the orioles hammock nest swings,
And at nighttime are folded In slumber
By song that fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest;
The humble and poor become great;
And from those brown-handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers OF the state.
The pen of the author and statesman,
The noble and wise of our land
The sword and chisel and palette,
Shall be held In the little brown hand.
