The death of the boy Donovan, who won
tho six-days' skating race at Madson-square
Garden, is pitiful enough to win universal
sympathy for him. He was C. bootblack, the
son Of an Elraira saloon-kceper and when he
proposed going into the race had not enough
money to do so. A scanty fund was raised
Tor him among his boy companions, and he
went down to the city. He hadn't cent of
money, and when he went on to the floor. on
Monday evening, to begin the contest
he had had bat one meal in two days.

Upon the question of General Lawton's dis
abilities for holding office, the National Re
publican says:
cit is understood that Mr.. Bayard now
holds that Andrew johnson pardoned General
Lawton for his treason, and therefore the
fourteenth amendment does not affect him.
Mr.. Bayard must know that Andrew johnson
pardoned perhaps 10000 just as he did Gen.
Lawton. His pardon is, no doubt, good
against an indictment for treason, and could
be pleaded in bar against prosecution therefor
But Mr.. Bayard ought to know further that
Congress, without in the least disturbing such
pardons as General Lawton holds, proposed an
amendment to the Constitution, and the
States adopted it, by which new qualification
was enacted for holding Office. This qualifca-
ton does not interfere with President John
sons pardon, nor does President johnson s
pardon interfere with it.
eve advise Mr.. Bayard that he would do
well to observe the Constitution which he
swore to support. General Lawton's appoint
ment may, in Mr.. Bayard's view, be very i'm
portant but, perhaps, not important enough
to warrant contemptuous defiance of the
government Of the United States. The
fourteenth amendment is, no doubt, very
offensive to Mr.. Bayard's tastes, but that will
hardly be sufficient excuse to the people for
its fiat violation.
Finally, Mr.. Bayard would do we'll, if he
appoints General Lawton, to explain to the
public why all those who have hitherto sought
federal office, with Andrew Johnson's pardon
in their pockets, have been required, in addi-
tion thereto, to have their disabilities under
the fourteenth amendment removed by Con
gress Can Mr.. Bayard give the name of one
of this class who has been indicted into Office
under any other conditions?'

Old Are.

With every year the average duration
of life is increased and we have more
old people on our hands. Naturally,
the question becomes of increasing in
terest, How shall we secure a healthful
old age, and how can we prolong in
comfort this senility7
Some curious information regarding
this subject, though more especially re-
garding what may be called "centena-
rianism, has been published by gen
tleman of Syracuse, N. y, who, we are
informed, has collected the histories of
10, 900 people that have passed the age
of 100 years. According to this author
ity, the United States leads in centena-
rian longevity, while Connecticut is
ahead among the States. AS to sex,
women; as to occupation, soldiers,
sailors and farmers are the longest lived.
Among the professions, 100 ministers,
thirty doctors and ten lawyers reached
their centennial.
OF more practical and scientific char
acter are the statistics regarding longev-
ity obtained by the British Collective
Investigation committee. These are based
upon over 500 returns, and relate to per-
sons who have reached or passed the age
of eighty.
Professor Humphrey, of Cambridge,
has given some interesting deductions
based upon the returns in an Grafton de-
ivered before the Medical society, of
London.
The first requisite for longevity must
be an inherent quality of endurance,
something which is inborn and per-
haps inherited. 1t is noticeable that the
phthisical taint does not necessarily les
sen the capacity for longevity. Among
500 aged persons, phthisis appeared in
fathers, mothers, brothers, or sisters of
eighty-two, that is, in about seventeen
per cent In one case both father and
mother were phthisica.
A second requisite for long life Is
freedom from exposure to casualties. 1t
is on this ground, in part, that more
women than men reach extreme age.
Other reasons, however, are, perhaps, a
greater natural vitality, since even in
early life the mortality is less among fe-
males than males. 1t does not seem to
be proved by the data collected that
short and small men and women have
any advantage over those who are taller
and larger. The average height of old
Englishmen is five feet six inches, that
of women five feet three inches.
Sir Henry Thompson, in a recent arti-
Gle on "Diet in Relation to Age" has
called attention to the harm that comes
from attempts to over-feed old people.
They are injured, he truly says, by the So
licitous relatives, who think
/ that in feedinp there ia surc
help for the waning strength.
The old need light diet to correspond
with the lessened work and slower nu
triton and waste of their tissues. -Medi.

THE first efforts to produce diamonds

pecially, have been rewarded with some
amount of success. Such great minds as

Whence comes this epidemic Of suicides and
murdersi Recent discussions havo named
several causes Hon. G. H. Reeve, ,ef Indiana,
charges IL TO infidel teachings-holding that
hopelessness of future state cripples forti-
tude for bearing life's ills. Another declares
suffering from the universal business depres-
sion the cause. A third writer attributes il
to increasing insanity, physician thinks
much of the tendency IL inherited, while tenn
perance advocates lay the responsibility upon
strong drink.
Free-thinkers have committed suicide but
so have orthodox churchmen. Financial
straits have beset many, but the wealthy
have also taken their life.
Insanity and dissipation have preceded
suicides and family murders.
One feature common to almost every such
crime challenges attention. Well nigh every
report Of suicide and family murder mentions
the perpetraCor as having "for some time
been subject TO melancholy Whence comes
