Comparative Longevity of the Sexes.


The Hebrew women are the longest
lived, and the colored men the shortest.
1t appears from the gathered statistics of
the world that women have greater
tenacity of life than men. Nature wor-
ships the female in all It's varieties. Among
insects the male perishes at a relatively
earlier period. In plants the seminate
blossoms die earliest, and are produced in
the weaker limbs. Female quadrupeds
have more endurance than males. In the
human race, despite the intellectual and
physical strength of the man, the woman
endures longest, and will bear pain to
which the strong man succumbs. Zymotic
diseases are more fatal to males. and more
male children die than female. Deyerga
asserts that the proportion dying suddenly
is about 100 women TO 700 men; 1850 men
in the United States, in 1870, committed
suicide, TO 5S5 women. incompetence,
apoplexy, govt, hydrocepbalus, affections
of the heart or liver, scrofula. paralysis,
are lar more fatal to males than females.
Pulmonary consumption, on the other
hand, is more daddy to the latter. Fe-
males in cities are more prone to consump
ton than in the country. All old countries
not disturbed by emigration have ma
jority of females in the population. In
royal families the statistics show more
daughters than sons. The Hebrew woman
is exceptionally long-hved; the colored
man exceptionally short-lived. The mar
rise state is favorable to proIongation of
life among women. DR.. Rough remarks
that there are from two to six per cent.
more males born than females, yet there is
an excess Of more than six per cent. Of
females in the living populations. Popular

The Terrors of Hydrophobia.

Speaking of the present scare and NJ.
Pasteur's alleged cure for hydrophobia,
the New York Herald editorially says:
cit is true that cases of hydrophobia
are rare. That fact demands our graft
tude. 1t is, however, a malady which
gives no warning of its approach. Ordi-
nary epidemics throw out danger signals,
and we prepare for them. Hydrophobia
is the work of a moment. 1t may be
caused by the valuable pet OF the house
hold as well as the cur who sinks behind
the ash-barrel. The bite of the snake
benumbs and you die in Inconsistencies.
The bite of mad dog leaves you in the
possession of over-stimulated faculties.
Your reason tears you and terrifes you
with the possibility of a horrible death.
Your imagination is crazed, and inexor-
able fate draws a picture from which the
stoutest man shrinks with fear. Yes,
there are only few cases of hydropho-
bla; II there were many, life would be-
come curse. If you have witnessed
death scene from this cause you have not
forgotten it, and never will to the end of
time. Such terrors, such horrors, are
not to be seen without cry for remedy.
IF Pasteur has found it, we'll; and if
he has not, inquiry has been reused and
will not rest until the enigma shall be
solved. The proposed hospitals in New
York, Newark and st. Louis for the treat
ment of hydrophobia will be sufficient to
serve the needs of the continent. The
experiments which are now being made
in Newark will be followed with solicit
tude. The American people will keep
the subject alive until the dread malady
shall succumb to the discoveries OF
science"

WHY HE WAS APPOINTED.
The Endorsement Of w. C. Browe
for Postmaster Placed All
Others I'm the shade.

1t has been matter of the greatest
wonder with some as to the particular
causes which led to Mr.. Browe's APP
pointment to the postfnastership, when
other applicants had what appeared to
be more influential endorsements, and
in some cases had the additional advan-
tage, as was thought, of having resided
in the city much longer than the favored
applicant. Even those who enthusiast
cally favored the appointment OF Mr.
Browe land they are numerous here
abouts) had some fears that these ques-
tions might figure against him. A COM
parison OF the various endorsements
which accompanied the applications of
the several gentlemen, seeking the
Office, reveals one fact that Is as discom-
forting to some as it is astonishing 10
others, viz: That local endorsements
went for nothing, as it has since been
discovered that Mr.. Browe stood on the
best of terms with the Postmaster-Ge
eral and has firm personal friend in
Assistant Postmaster-G General Stevenson,
without whose influence It is doubtful if
all the other endorsements would have
effected the result desired, not forgetting
that Utah's ex-Representative's was
among them. All of the disappointed
gentleman, however, express the warm
est approval of the appointment made
and join with very great number of the
public in the opinion that Mr.. BroWe
will make first-class postmaster.

The Coinage Committee.

The Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, announced in the House
yesterday by Speaker Carlisle, is made
up largely, as will be seen from the dis
patches, of Western and Southern Repre-
sentatives, and is thought by those here
who are at all familiar with the records
OF these Congressman, to have a sure
majority for silver coinage. There are
several members of the committee who
are known to have expressed very positive
sympathy for any measure which would
have for its object the suspension of the
silver dollar, but with Bland and ma
jority to stand with him on the right side,
it is thought to be decided victory on
the silver question, and some of the
bankers and others here were manifest
ing their delight yesterday, at the good
for silver.

Pushing to the Coast.

A Chicago special to the Omaha Bee
of the 9Th inst. says: Vice-President
T.. J. Potter, OF the Burlington, has been
taking an outing by visit to the Pacific
coast, and his presence there has started
fund of rumor and gossip relative to the
intentions of his road and its future bear
ing on transcontinental matters. In con-
nection with these rumors a gentleman
recently returned from California, who
has been furnishing coast papers with a
fund OF information, stated yesterday, i'll
discussing the race to the Pacific coast
between the Burlington, Northwestern
and Santa Fe roads, that the former had
secured an option on the California & Ne
vada road, with terminus on the bay of
San Francisco, and rights of way through
the interior counties. 1t is not improba-
BILE that the Northwestern will lease the
Central Pacific, with which it expects to
connect at Ogden within six months, as
it is pushing westward at the rate of
mile day. The Southern Pacific Com
pany is said to have offered the Santa Fe
managers an opportunity to use its tracks
on very advantageous terms

The Latest Theory.

Among the vague theories suggested
by O'Connor's concrete head is one
which found root in the imagination of
an old-timer who remembers the ex-
ploits of "John the Baptist" the cranky
fellow who in early days, here, dug up
corpses to rob them of jewelry, and
peddled endowment robes taken from
the dead. He was at one time grave
digger in Salt Lake, and for his aurocious
and barbarous crimes was said
to have been transported to
the ''Church Island" All sorts of idle
rumors were circulated regarding his sub
sequent history-one that he constructed
a raft from the most meagre materials
and rowed his way up the Jordan river.
One of the older residents hereabouts
gives the above as very tangible and
credible theory, and carries it along a
little further by intimating that the prob
ability of that identical raft, with its
strange passenger, having reached the
neighborhood of Lexington is very
strong. OF course, the idea is accepted %
without further question.

The Utah Commission.

The severe attack which Senator Van
Wyck made upon the Utah Commission
as to its extravaganza, uselessness, etc.,
in the Senate Wednesday, was replied to
by Commissioner Paddock yesterday and
the Commissioners telegram was read
before the Senate for the particular bene-
fit of the Senator from Nebraska. The
dispatch denied that there were six
clerks employed by the Commission
here, and stated that two or possibly
three" was the; maximum number, and
that at present one clerk constituted the
entire force. The "two or possibly three"
expression was turned by VanWyck into
the finest kind of material for joke, and
the Senator made the best of it. He said
in addressing the Senate as to the con-
tents of the telegram: Perhaps if they
employed another clerk they could proba-
bly, find out exactly how many clerks
they had" The remark produced "great
laughter" SO the press dispatches state.

H. KOHLER ASSIGNS.
Hard Times Pushes Another Busi-
ness House to the Wall.

Last evening the front window OF
Kohler's Lamp and Oil Store, situated
just west of the Theatre, became orna-
mented with large banner containing
the words George A. Luke, Assignee" "
and in very short time there was to be
seen the manifestations of interest and
curiosity which usually characterize
such occasions Very little could
be learned respecting the exact
and complete details of the failure
further than that Mr.. Kohler had sue
cumbed to the terrible pressure conse-
quent upon hard times, and that his liza
bilities would probably not reach more
than $4,000. Mr. Luke, the assignee,
stated that he was not yet in possession
of any particulars or figures as to
the distribution of the liabilities nor
as to the exact showing which it would
be possible to make out of the resources.
There were no preferred creditors, he
said, and everything pertaining to the
business had been turned in. The stock
of lamps, oils, ETC., together with the
horse, harness and wagon used for deliv-
cry purposes, would, he thought, be
ample, if carefully disposed of, to cover
every dollar of the liabilities, although he
did not speak from positive knowledge,
as he had not yet examined into the de-
tails.
MIR. Kohler is regarded by those who
have done business with him as an in
dustrious, honorable and careful business
man, which would lead to the belief that |
hard times and dull business were the
causes wholly of the disaster. He has
not determined on any effort to extricate
and continue his business, but expresses
himself as DESTROYS of seeing every cred |
tor satisfied.

A Genuine Surprise.

The relatives and employees of Mr.. 6
f. Culmer carried into execution last
evening a most admirably-planned sur
prise party, the event having for its pur-
pose the celebration of the anniversary
OF that gentleman's birthday. The affair
was made one of unusual interest by the
masking of all of the participants, which
incident also contributed greatly to the
enjoyment of the party. Mr.. Culmer's
handsome residence on East Temple
street afforded the most desirable facili-
ties for the occasion, and the gentleman
himself contributed everything possible
to the success of the party, and mani
tested and expressed his hearty appreci-
alton of the sentiments which brought
the assembly of friends together.

RECEPTION AT FORT DOUGLAS.
The Federal officials rendered the
HOnOrs by the Gallant Sixth.

At little past O'Clock this afternoon
a long file of Federal officials emerged
from the Walker House and took seats in
the five ambulances which were IN walt
ing, some of which, by the way, had the
appearance of not having been used since
General Johnson's arrival here. The
ambulances were filled with Governor
Murray, Secretary Thomas, Marshal Ire
land, Commissioner Paddock, Judge
Zane, Clerk J. S. Zane, Deputy Clerk
Mcmillan, General Dement,, Postmaster
Lynch, Postmaster-elect Browe, Judge
o. w. Powers, Prosecuting Attorney Bier
bower, of Ogden, etc., etc., and were
driven to the Fort at as good rate OF
speed as the condition of the roads and
the size of the freight permitted.
The battery of the Fifth Artillery was
drawn up as the Governor and party APP
preached the Fort and received the Off
Gals with salute of seventeen guns.
The guests were conducted to Recreation
Hall, where formal reception by the
officers of the Fort was extended, the
latter being in full uniform, after which
a concert, Of eight select pieces, was rem
dered by the Sixth Infantry Band, re-
freshments being served in the interims.
It was expected that number OF
speeches would be made by General Nc
Cook, Governor Murray and others, but |
we were unable to obtain any report of
them before going to press.
Prosecuting Attorney Dickson and Com
missioner Mckay went to the Fort later
n the afternoon in private conveyance,
having been detained on business from
accompanying the party. There were no
aides invited, and the, nature Of the ex-
,rcises were therefore different from what
'ome had expected.
Every effort had been put forth by
General McCook and the officers at the
Fort to make the affair an enjoyable one,
md TIE party went away from the city in
he right kind of mood to have it such.

W. C. Borland an Applicant.

1t has not been very generally under
stood, we believe, that among the gentle
men applying for the Office of postmaster
for Salt Lake Mr.. W. c. Borland was one.
He is said to be now in the East and
that he went thither with goodly guam
tlty OF endorsements for the position. At
the time of Mr.. Borland's resignation
from the Union Pacific Office it was an
nounced in one of the papers that he had
left the employ of the U. p "to engage
in more lucrative business" but the
public was left in doubt as to the nature
of the business; and as Mr.. Borland has
many friends here and not few admir-
ers, the announcement of his efforts to
receive the appointment of postmaster
will be as much a surprise to some as his
failure to obtain it will prove disappoint-
ing to others.

Horn Silver Stock.

One OF the most interesting features of
the week, says the New York Miuino
Record, has been the advance in Horn
Silver, and although trading has not de-
veloped special activity, the value of the
stock has moved steadily upward. This
is the second time within few weeks
that the shares of this property have
undergone similar change. About
1900 shares have changed hands, few
sales being made on Saturday down as
low as $3.50 to $1.75, but since then up
to $3.50 to $500 and the market left off
firm on Thursday at this latter figure.
