In the sanitary number of Science there
is much space devoted 10 the investigs-
tions of Koroski on the relation of in
fectieus and epidemic diseases to the pc
cuniaIy status of the several grades OF the
community, from which we learn that
poverty does not exercise uniform in
fiuence upon TIE occurrence of these dis
eases; indeed, viewing them as a whole,
the well endowed, excepting the very
richest, are more seriously afflicted than
the poor. Viewing the infectious diseases
separately, Koroski finds that cholerH,
smallpox, measles and typhus are more
prevalent among the poor, while diptheris,
cron9, whooping-cough and scarlet fever
are more prevalent among the rich. Con-
sumption 2nd pneumonia claim the poor
and brain tron bles attack the rich. And
he also found that the intensity OF the in
fictitious disease was notably increased in
the crowded tenements. This increase
amounted to 364 per cent. for measles in
houses inhabited by more than Eve per-
sons persroom. Whooping- cough is like
wise greatly intensified by crowding. On
the other hand, it does not appear thsi
scarlet fever and diptheria are similarly
favored by the increased number OF peo
pie in the house.

Mn SMALLEY, the London corr spond-
ent of TIE New York Tribune, in a letter
devoted to The unveiling Of the statue to
Darwin, in the South Kensington Museum
of Natural History, remarks especially
upon the presence on the occasion OF the
Archbishop of Canterbury. There he
stood on the platform beside the Prince oil
Wales and at the very feet of Darwin. lie
had an air OF apostolic humility which eat
well on him, and which suited well the
circumstances in which he appeared.
Most men must have felt the significance
OF his coming, but not one word was pub
licly said which could seem ungracious in
the presence of this act OF homage from
the Church to the great man OF science
who has shaken to its foundations the az
tho.ity Of the Church. If it be step to-
ward that reconciliation of which so much
is said between science ard religion, it If,
so far an the Church OF England ts con-
cerned, an act which ssvors more OF sab
mission than OF liberation. 1t is recant-
alton of the snathsmas once pronounced
on Darwin; it is, st least, recognition o.
his riGhtful position in the intellectual
world 1t is, am tempted to say, con-
cessiou to Darwin OF co-ordlnats authority
in matters of faith, OF WHICH were once oil

has gone TO Csnossa."

THE official report of the superintend-
ent of the Sonth Carolina penitentiary, q
synopsis of which we published a few
days ago as it came 10 us by telegraph,
furnishes additional reasons why in every
State in the Union the infamous system
of leasing convict labor should be stopped.
The cruelties and brutalities disclosed by
this superintendent are an appeal to the
people everywhere TO bestir themselves t }
put an end to an evil OF gigantic proper
tions. The convicts should be put t?

ways, such as the convicti of this county
are now making, greatly to the advantage
of the people and the increased value OF

peculiar Cyclone at MonticeiIo. NJ an

MONTICELLO, July 3. - A eyclpne
passed north yesterday afternoon. The
track of the stosm was about five miles,
and an ominous looking cloud was
watched by about everyone in town.
The cloud was of greenish hne and fun
mel shaped, aud as it danced across the
prairie, now tearing up dirt from the
prairie and again rising some distance in
air. created a peculiar scene. A house
was struck and nothing was left to tell
where it stood, timber and furniture
being scattered all along over the
prairie. The only things found
near the place that were recognizable
were some knives aud forks that were
found about 800 feet distant. Some dis
tance further gentleman named Magee
was driving in buggy. Magee saw the
storm coming and hastened into the
shelter of a clump of trees. Near the
trees and between him and the storm
was knoll which perhaps saved him his
life. The cloud elevated and passed di-
rectly over him without doing any harm.
In the cloud he could see pieces of tim
Der aad wreckage whirling about, but
his aecouat is rather meager.
He admits he was too frightened to
nav much attention to anything. About
501 wards further on an ole stable was
lifted from the ground and carried away,
a house standing near by being unharmed.
4 little child playing in the yard was
picked up and carried some distance, but
landed near fence nnharmed, aside
from a few scratches. Reports are slow
in coming in, but so far do deaths have
been reported, although several narrow
escapes occurred.

Courier Journal special from Green's

son, together with Henry King and one
Dooley, are barricaded in barn armed
with Spencer and Winchester rifles,

composed of several members of
Dowell's family, the Pendleton boys and

case of factions. The Edwards party
have been hemmed up in the barn for
two days without food or water, aud the
besieging party swear that they will
starve them out and kill them. Dowell's
party received reinforcements o-day and

The New York Indicator, in a careful re-
view of the stock market of that city for
the five years beginning with 1881 and

EVERY Journals; in the wor d will feel
a personal pride in Mr.. Stead, the plucky
editor of the Pal Nall Gasett. Backed
by Cardinal Manning, Mr.. Spurgeon and
the Earl of Shaftesbury, he has taken
stand in the interest OF morals that no
Englishman can afford 10 oppose. He
deties the authorities, municipsl as we'll as
national, to proceed against him, and de-
nounces the robbery OF the newsboys by
the police OF the GGsettes they had palo
for and were selling so fast as a measure
OF cowsrdice beneath the dignity OF a
petitifogging justice of the peace. In the
interview With Home Secretary Gross, Mr..
Stead appears at his best. He almost de-
mands that he shall be prosecuted Tor the
articles that have created SO great SEN
sat,on, because he is anxious to disclose the
names of the high mightinesses who
have been guilty of the salseious aud
,ibidinous practices that drew from Mr..
Spurgeon his Jeremiad and simiEtude to
Sodom. No wonder that all England is
stirred to its profoundest depths by the
revolving story of Mr.. Stead. il fills the
public mind to repletion and leaves no
room even for the work OF the Salisbury
Cabinet. We hope Mr.. Stead msy be ar.
rested and he and his staff, his principal
informant and his workers, may be put
upou the stand. We should like To hear
what the Dean Of Canterbury, the Prince
of Wales and Mrs. Jeffries have to say
about this awful revelation, and above all
things we should like to have the names
of the scoundrels and of their victims, and
the details Of their practices. Sewers
