About Human NfghtiagaIes.


 Tn chatting with Mnne Marchesi, the famous singing professor, about her still more famous pupil Gabrielle Krauss, we d1- eressed into a talk about the vocal gifts of the different civilized nations of the world. In her classes at Vienna Mme. Marchesl had young songstresses of almost every nation. She placed the Italians and Germans at the head of the best endowed, both as regards voices and musical sensibiities. Some Hun earians should also be highly estimated, and many Swedes that passed through her hands had superior gifts. When Frenehman had musical endowments she made the most of them. Americans and Irish Mme. Marchesi had often found very highly gifted But there was no larnvx more difficult to drill than the English I asked her whether this was owing to want of ear. It could not be due to the effect of the English language on the throats and mouth, since it was spoken both in America and Ireland. -"No," she English poetry. The defective larnyx, in my opinion, comes from the way English is spoken in genteel and aristocratic society. Broad, open sounds are never heard. There are consonants that are slurred or clipped; and conversation is carried everywhere in undertones- that is, by ladies, young girls, eovernesses, and nursery maids. The cur rent pronunciation and enunciation in the long run incapacatate the throat for fine vocalization. The Irish speech is much less restrained, 50 far as the pitch of the voice and the launching of vowels and certain con- | sonants go. A brogue may be disadvan- tage in drawing room but from my Particu, | lar point of view it is not one." "Well," | observed, Chow do you account for the num- Der of good voices in the United States among Americans who have no brogue and are of Anglo-Saxon originP' Mime. Marches | replied that American girls learned to speai I in their public and other schools very dis tinctly and audibly, and were often obliged | to give their impressions and ideas on man, subjects orally, as well as in writing. Tn
 spoken and improvised essay was the bes
 way to acquire good diction, but on condi
 ton of course, that the matter with which i
 dealt was well understood by the speaker
 The sing song delivery of thing learned b
 rote was unconsciously avoided ,and as a teacl CT at some distance was the person addresse,
 it would net do to clip words. Peculiarl

contracts with foreign lines to give the de-
 

 partnent trouble.
 The commission sitting in St. Petersburg for the further modification of the laws reg ulating the civil rights of the Jews have just admitted for the imperial sanction decree removing the existing restrictions on the residence and commercial pursuits of the Jews in certain parts of the empire, and con ferring upon them equal privileges with those enjoyed by Russian citizens proper. The removal of these disabilities, however, is accompanied by three conditions men tioned in the commissioners rescript l. They (the Jews) shall have no business trans actions whatever with the crown officials, in order that the latter may not be demoral- ized 9. That they shall not be allowed to distil or sell spirituous liquors, by which the peasants and working classes are demoral- ized' 3. They are vigorously forbidden to follow the profession of ushers, which is cal culated to ruin the Russian peasantry, and thereby awaken in them feelings antagonistic to the government. These regulations apply equally to all baptized Jews, but their chil- dren, born Christians, are exempt.
 It we are not mistaken aDOuG One-Gn1rO or the population of New Havea-is~of foreign blood The recent city census of Albany gives evidence that the birth-rate in that city is steadily diminishing among the American population. Three wards, in which the pre- ponderance of population is German, report 10, 391 persons over 21 years of age and 1O,- OO3 under 21; three Irish wards, S,834 over 21 and 6,92O under 21; and three wards, chiefly inhabited by Americans, 9,845 over 21 and only 5,254 under 21. That is to say, there is among the native population only one child to every two adults, but among the Irish and Germans nearly or quite two children to every couple of grown-up people. A much more striking proof of the same tendency is furnished in the registration report for New Hampshire recently published From this it appears that (, ,247 births were reported in the State during 1884, of which 3,498 were credited to American parents, and 2, 749 to parents of foreign birth. The last census showed that the population of the State consisted of 300,- 697 persons born in this country, and 46, 294 born abroad. The native-born constituted nearly 87 per cent, and the foreign-born only a little over 13 per cent, yet upon this show ing au element which numbers but a little over one-eighth of the whole population con- tributed nearly one-half of all the births last

AN INTERPRETING COMPARISON.

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON.
 This country is far ahead of 'tthe mother country" in some respects, but there are some things in England which are better done than they are here. A comparison has recently been made between the government of municipalities in England and in this country, and it appears that the inhabitants of cities in this country have to pay more for government than those who live in English cities.
 Fourteen representative American cities New York, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, San Francis co, New Orleans, Pittsburg, Newark, Alba ny, Louisville and Providence-have an az gregate funded debt of $233, ,475, ,000, while the same number of representative English cities Qeaving out London on account of it's peculiar and entirely different municipal government )-Liverpool, Birmingham, Man chester, Leeds, Sheffield, Bristol, Noting ham, Bradford, Hull, Brighton, Leicester, Sunderland Oldham and Cardif--have funded debt of but $71, ,723, 900. In the American cities above named the debt per capita is $43 and in the English cities SSl, less GEhH udlI Oo WA1A APoAaiouAoo' The municipal expenses of the English towns, including poor rates, were $7.52 to each in habitant, and in the American towns nearly s16. 34, IF per cent more. The cost per capita for police and fire departments in En- glish cities was: Police, 67 and 4-1Oths cents; fire department, and 7-10ths cents. In the American cities: Police, $1.69; fire, 93 cents.
 In the assessment and collection of taxes the English municipalities have great ad- vantage over American cities. Instead of requiring 8 paraphernalia of tax collectors and assessors, they utilize the complete ma chinery of the poor law administration. The system of collection is said to be so strict that such arrearages as those of Phila- delphia's $6, 300, ,0OO or of Brooklyn's $5, ,60O,- 900 are impossible. Taxes are collected up- on annual values or income, and there is therefore never any trouble about the assess- ments. Whatever the property rents for, that it is worth, and for that it is taxed.
 Another peculiarity is that rates are assessed
 upon the tenants, not on the landlords, and rents are, of course, regulated so that the result is the same so far as tenant and land lord are concerned.
 If there is any way for American cities to
 reduce their great debts and great expenses it ought to be taken advantage of In most l of the cities of this nation the burdens of 1 the taxpayer are altogether too heavy.
