Changes on the Grand Trunk.

MONTREAL, Dec. 80.
The changes introduced into the manage
ment of the Grand Trunk Railroad have
obliterated tho Great Western as a separate
division. The line west of Toronto has been
divided in two divisions to be known as the
Northern and Southern divisions. Railway
men express the opinion that these changes
will result in much more practical amalga-
nation of the two old rival systems and tend
to more harmonious working.

The Canadian Government.

The Canadian government is a
crowned Democracy. 1t provides for q
most perfect and rapid representation
of the national will in Parliament. The
Governor Generals Office secures them
against frequent turmoil in elections
and gives them the advantage without
the disadvantage of some 1.uropeaA
monarchies. There is no danger that
his presence shall breed any royal or
aristocratic caste. The men to whom
he gives his confidence must first have
won the suffrage Of the people and be
the leaders in their Parliament. If he
can in any way honor them it is only
stamping afresh the stamp affixed
by the popular voice. And with the
freedom from frequent elections comes
vthe freedom from a too exclusive party
patronage, the purity ofthe civil service,
because men possess their offices not for
the life of q party, but for the term of
their own integrity SO long as they do
not NEEDLE in political struggles: The
idler is alone excluded from the suffrage;
and the election of judges and the ring
government of cities and the purchase
of influence are unknown OF condemned
wherever such things seem likely to be
bred. Look where you will, through
the long list of national communities in
ancient or in modern times. you will
find none that have made a fairer use OF
their opportunities shan has the Cana
dian.-Lord Lorne.

Religious Growth in America.
From Democrats Monthly.

SAoLA DShho S's AoAsAS
The rise and tall Of religious creeds
in this country is very interesting as
showing the tendency of things with us.
Since 1860 the Methodists have kept
pace with the growth of population.
Twenty-tour years ago they numbered
$500, 900. To-day they have about
Is, 900, 900 adherents. The Baptists
have increased from 5000. 900 to about
10, 0,000, which shows an increase of
about so per cent rs to numbers, but q
decrease of IS per cent compared to
growth of population. The Presbyteri-
ans now number $500, 900. against
5000, 900 in 1850, about SO per cent in-
crease. The Lutherans have increased
60 per cent. The Congregationalists
now number about l 500, 900 an increase
of only 81 per cent, while the popula-
ton has increased rs per cent. The
E%piscopalians number 1,200, 900, an
increase Of 334 per cent in "a years.
The Hebrews number about 700, 900 an
increase of 100 per cent in "a years.
The Friends or Quakers show a falling
off of 60 per cent, ami now number only
$50, 600 persons. But the most startling
nHuTeS OF ILL ure tuOSe tLaG Teldte W
the Roman Catholics. In 1860 they
numbered 3, 100, 900. That church to-
day claims $500, 900 adherents, a gam
of200 per cent. In fifteen years, should
the same ratio of increase continue,
there will be %, O0O, 900 Catholics in
this country. No figures are given as
to the skeptics or nonbelievers, but
undoubtedly their numbers have been
very much swollen in the last quarter
of q century. til is a notable fact that
Calvinists, Unitarians and Quakers, rs
we'll as the sects with definite creeds,
are rapidly losing ground, while the
ritualistic churches, such as Catholics
and E~piscopaliens, and what may be
called the emotional sects, such as
Methodists and Baptists, are either
holding their own or gaining ground.
These changes in what may be called
the spiritual attitude of the nation, will
in time show itself in the very structure
of our institutions.

Comparative Longevity Of Men
and Women.

The San Francisco Record says of the
relative longevity of men and women
the following: Interesting
concerning the comparative longevity
of men and women in Europe have re-
Gently been made by the director of the
bureau of statistics at Vienna. From
these it appears that about a third more
women than men reach advanced age.
Women oftener lead quiet, regular lives.
They have few bad habits, are
less exposed to strong passion aud
excitement. 1t appears from the
gathered statistics of the world,
says the Modern age. that women
have q greater tenacity of life than men.
Nature worships the female in all its
varieties. Among insects the male
perishes at q relatively early period. In
plants the SENATE blossoms die earliest,
and are produced in the weaker limbs.
Female quadrupeds have more endu-
rance than males. In the human race,
despite the intellectual and physical
strength of man, the woman endures
longest, and will bear pain to which the
strongest man succumbs. Zymotic dis
eases are moro fatal to males, and more
male children die than females. Dever-
ga asserts that the proportion dying
suddenly is about 100 women TO $50
men; 1850 menin the United States
in 1870 committed suicide to 2S5 wom-
n Intemperance, apoplexy, govt,
hydrocephalus, affections of the heart
or liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far
more fatal to males than. females.
Pulmonary consumption, on the
other hand, is more deadly to the latter,
which argues that we ought to give the
girls of our families oil the out door ex-
ercise that they need. Females in cities
are more prone to consumption than in
the country. All old countries not dis
turbed by emigration, have a majority
of females in the population. In royal
families the statistics show more daugh-
ters than sons. The Hebrew women
is exceptionally long-lived, while the
colored man is exceptionally short lived.
DR.. Hough remarks that there are from
two to six per cent more males born
than females, yet there is more than
six per cent excess of females in the
living population. The rush and worry OF
the average business man in this country
is apt to make him prematurely old,
unless he takes %judicious recreation.
The females are to a great extent ex-
empt from this over-straining about
business cares, which may, in a degree,
account for their superior vitality"
There can be no doubt but that in tie
last sentence of the above there lies
the kernel of the true difference in the
United States between the longevity OF
men end women in this country. More
than one close observer noticed that
last summer and fall many men died
from the over wrought pressure brought
to bear upon them who promised under
more favorable circumstances to live
for many years.
