Healthy and Unhealthy Occupations.

The first place among healthy ocoups-
tons is held by ministers of religion,
the death rate OF this class being $50.
Next we have gardeners and nursery
men, who stand at :.09; farmers and gra-
Tiers, 631; agricultural laborers, 701;
schoolmssters, 71s; the other trades
which follow closely on these being gro

ers, lace and hosiery manufacturer

wrights and coal m nsrs. Tho figures
of mortality of all these trades is under
IT'S. On the other side, that of unhealthy
occupations, the first place is held by
the trades which are concerned in the
manufacture and distribution of intoxi-
cat ng drink, which, as is well known,
entail many temptations to use it to ex-
cess. The list of unhealthy occupations
lie headed by the class of inn and hotel
ser ants, whose figure mounts up to
2,2O5, being nearly double that of the
medical profession. The highest place
next to them are held by the
general laborers and coster mon
gers, hswkers and street sellers, the
former class with 8, 02O, and the latter
with 1870. 1t is probable that both are
largely made up of broken men. the
wrecks of other callings. Innkeepers,
publicans, spirit, wine and beer dealers
follow with figure of 1881 and brew
ers with 1861. In support of the belief
that these high rates of mortality are
chiefly due to alcoholic excess, DR.. ogle
has compared with them the mortality
assigned to diseases of the liver, the
organ through which such excess chiefly
declares itself, and has obtained results
which are entirely in harmony with those
of the trade returns. Next to the trades
concerned with alcohol, the highest
rates are furnished by occupation, which
involve the breathing of dust-other
than coal dust-and especially Of a sharp
and gritty character, or largely COM
posed of mineral matter; next, those in
which there is expo ure to lead poison
ing, as with plumbers, painters and file
makers. The earthenware manufactrIr-
ers, who are much exposed to mineral
dust, have figure of 1,749, filemakers,
who work upon leaden cushion, reach
1861, and plumbers and painters, who
are also exposed to lead, reach 1907

moniously, and the new officers were
installed.
A public meeting was held in the
Court House on Wednesday night,
at which speeches were made by
Messrs. w. E. Henderson, ]. c.
Dancy, John Holloway, and G. c.

The session was very harmonious
and interesting throughout.
The outlook for the temperance
cause is very good, and the workers
in this order are much encouraged.
1t is hoped that Good Templar
lodges will be organized throughout
the State, and that each lodge will
form a Juvenile temple to instill in
the youth the principles OF temper
ance.

Our Schools.

! The schools of Ashevville are
alive and at work. As a result Of a
canvass in the city, the Western
Union Institute has enrolled 100
pupils, having daily attendance Of
about 70.
The City Public School has en-
rolled Is7 pupils, the average at
tendance being about 100.
Zion Normal School has an en-
Eollment Of I36 pupils, with a fine
average attendance.
The turn that this city has taken
within the past few months on the
subject Of education among our neo
pie, is surely a most sudden, sharp
and encouraging one.

Temperance.

The temperance and prohibition
sentiment seems to be growing more
and more popular with our people.
IN Raleigh. where they have wit
messed the great benefits of prohibi-
ton. thew are delighted with it. and
numbers who have voted against it
heretofore on prejudice. declare their
ihtention to ever encourage and SUD-
port prohibition after this. The
same sentiment is expressed in Con-
cord. While it is admitted that
whiskev is bought and sold in these
towns. it is understood to be by the
same parties principally who. when
the bar-rooms were open there. car
ned their jugs home. The great
evil was the open. tempting bars,
and the greatest sufferers were the
poor fellows who were decoyed in
On their way home. but who will
never dream of bothering after the
expensive Jug. and who will thus
save their hard earned pennies and
respect themselves and families.
Prohibition is a decided success in
the above towns. and the colored
people are receiving the greatest
benefits from it. The law once
properly put in force in this city,
though it might prove little embar-
RAISING to business at first, would be

The Vote in This District.

statement Of the vote for Congress,

therefore, according TO the above
statement, is 6,8o4.-O6se,vey.
DR.. J. ]. Mott advised the Re-
publicans not to vote the state judi
cal ticket after tyrannically refusing
to call a State Convention. They
positively refused to pay any heed
to his demand and voted him en-
tirely out of office, power and au-
thority. 1t is good thing for all
concerned and as the election
showed, the party is stronger with
out him and the offices than it is
with both. 1t is a lesson worth
learning, and one all have learned
with pleasure. His associate Col.
Humphrey was electing Mr.. Sim
mons to Congress while DIR. Mott

q Noy.I Plan of Burial.

disposing of the dead in towers of mason
