Mai. Mackenzie, of the corps of engineers,
has forwarded his annual report for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1884, of work done on
the Mississippi river, between st. Paul and
the mouth of the Illinois river. He says
that the work of the past year has been salts
factory and that navigation has been i'm
proved. During the past fiscal year, the
report says, ''the bridges crossing the upper
Mississippi river have been responsible for a
number Of serious accidents, resulting in
great loss to the interests of navigation. In
all cases these could have been prevented
had the bridges been properly provided with
good fences, etc. and / would repeat the
urgent recommendations made in all pre-
vious reports. that the government shall take
such action as will relieve the navigation in
terests of the great tax low imposed upon
them by the failure of bridge companies to
properly facilitate navigation through their
bridges

tres for their appearance; they have spent
thousands of dollars for working the press

sums for special kilograms to the American
papers containing accounts of the 'oyations"
which they received on their opening nights I;
and the enormous attendance and enthusi-
asm during the remainder of their "engage-
ment," and in this way, at a cost of several
thousand pounds. have tricked this country

Sir James pages ON National Health.

At the recent opening Of the health exhibit
ton, at London, Sir James Paget, who WAC
called on by the prince of Wales to make an
address, said he would speak only of national
health. He had calculated the average an.
nual number of days sickness of each person
during what may be deemed the normal
working time of life, that is, between II and
65 years of age. The average time of sickness
among males during the working years was
l ,314 weeks-that is, small fraction more
than nine days in each year-and in females
it was a small fraction more The result
was that among males there was a loss
of 9692, sos weeks work in every year,
and among females a loss of 10, SOP, 7G1
weeks. Thus we might believe that our
whole population between - and So
years old did in each year 20, 600, 900 weeks
work less than they might do if it were not
for sickness. The bills Of mortality told the
losses of life, but TO estimate rightly the
misery Of sickness and the losses of all but
life that were due to it they needed a far
more complete record. Take, for example,
such disease as typhoid fever, its mortality
was about Is per cent, SO that if in any one
year 1000 died Of II about 90, 900 recovered
OF these the average length Of Illness was on
the authority Of DIR. Broadbent, about ten
weeks. Here, therefore, from one disease
alone and that preyentable, we had an an
nual loss Of $50, 900 weeks work, without
reckoning what was lost with those who die.
The mortality of children under fifteen in
1882 was nearly quarter of million.
What had they cost! If they said only 60
apiece there was more than e2, 900, 900 thus
lost every year. And he might add that we
lost largely not only in weight but in happi-
ness by the death Of these poor children No
one who lived among the sick could doubt
that very large proportion Of the sickness
and loss Of work which he saw might have
been prevented, or could doubt that in every
succeeding generation a larger proportion
still might be ayerted if only all men would
strive that it might be so. Of the infectious
fevers, smallpox might be rendered nearly
harmless by complete and careful vaccina-
ton. Typhus and typhoid scarlet fever and
measles might, with proper guards against
infection, be confined within very narrow
limits. So, probably, might whooping- cough
and diphtheria. IL we or any other people
were TO continue ambitious for the cxtention or
that higher mental power Of which we boosted,
or for the success Of the bold spirit Of enter
prise with which we sought TO replenish the
earth and subdue tiff we desired that the
lessons Of Christianity and of true civiliza-
ton should be spread over the world, we
must strive for an abundance of this nation-
al health, tongh, plant, and elastic, ready
and fit for any good work anywhere.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA startling story
that the crew Of the schooner LJulia Baker
from New York, had mutinied and killed
Captain John Lewis and had been selling
the cargo in the West Indies, led the owners
of the vessel, Warren & Merritt, to send the
following telegram to-day:
To the collector of customs, Key West, Flo

Lewis of the schooner Julia Baker had been
murdered, and that the person calling him
self Lewis is an imposter. Kindly ascertain
what has been going on, why the vessel de-
waited from her course, what has become of

pear very mysterious and demand a sharp
investigation. Telegraph full particulars

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
An Informal Reception to President
Harris by the Business Men
of st. Paul.

The reception of President Robert Harris,
of the Northern Pacific, at the Metropolitan
hotel last evening by the chamber of COM
merce and the leading business man of st.
Paul was an informal but quite an enthu-
siastic affair. At 8 p. IN. the hotel par
lors were thrown open, and President Har-
ris and party received and were presented to
their callers, The latter comprised a large
number of the representative business men
of the city, with whom he conversed in the
most affable and courteous manner Par
ticularly interesting and enthusiastic did
his conversation become as he spoke of the
won ierful Yellowstone valley whose beauties
he said had never half been told, and of that
grand paradise beyond the Rockies, destined
to support such an enormous population.
After general introductions and handshak-
ings all around the gentlemen retired to one
end of one of the spacious
corridors where sumptous lunch
was spread of which all partook. Among
those present were President Robert Harris
and wife, Mrs. Rev DIR. Duncan, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, Mrs. Horace Thompson,
Mrs. j. Fl. Drake, Rev. and Mrs. Riddell,
Vice President Oaks, J. NJ. Hannaford, gem
eral freight agent; Chas. S. Fee, general
passenger agent; Fl. G. Davis, assistant gen
eral passenger agent; G.. G. Sanborn, local
treasurer, and T. R. Delano, of the Northern
