The Length OfLffe.
From The New York Sun.

FROM Ihe New York Sun.
This is a very interesting question,
and students Of vital statistics have de.
voted much attention of recent wears TO
searching for an answer to it:
"Wll You please tell me whether the
average human life is increasing or d.
minishing?"
The statisticians of England cipher
out that life in that country has some
what increased in duration in the last
generation, and the sanitarians attribute
the gain to the better care which has
been taken Of the public since what is
called sanitary science has become a sub
lect OF special study. The great loss of
LIE has always been at the beginning in in
fancy, and public hygiene directs its eff
forts toward the prevention of the filthy
diseases which more particularly test the
endurance of children under ( wears ~
age.
But is the vital condition of the race
improving? Dr. Thomas S. Sozinskav
or Philadelphia, writes an elaborate ma,
per In the Medical and SURGICAL Re-
porter to express his doubt as to wbeth-
or that is so, and presents an arrav Of
ngures OF the mortality in England and
the United states which will not give
our correspondent much comfort.
1t appears from our census of 1890 That
OF hundred deaths reported durino the
census year 40 were OF person sunder 5
years % OF persons under 20, only % of
persons over 30 and only 10 of those over

A Brave Southern Boy.

Athens( Ga.) Banner.
We we're riding with Capt. Carlton the
other day, and asked him if Jimmey Dali
lard, of Oglethrop did not belong to the
Trope Artillery. eyes, and drawer and
better soldier did not enter the confeder-
ate service. He was a mere STRIPPING
when he joined the company, but he was
as cool and collected in battle as one of
Napoleon's old Guard. You know jim
my ballard was raised very pious boy,
and he led in the army as devout life
as If he were at home, but he could face
death with the same calm demeanor as
he could enter church.
Gettysburg was the hottest place
was ever in, and my battery bore a con-
spicious part in the great fight. At one
time we were left in a most trying posi-
ton, exposed to a cross-fre, and my men
and horses were moved down like grain
in harvest field. It was at this juno
ture that an English officer, who had
been sent here by his government to
watch the American war, rode by in a
hasty retreat out of danger. AS he pass
ed my battery, there sat astride one of
my guns, facing the enemy aud defantly
waving a tattered flag, Jimmy ballard,
and he was SO youthful soldier and so
cool and unconcerned that the English
officer, struck with admiration at such
q gallantry, halted and asked the little
fellow if he was not afraid of being killed.
"Oh, no." was the reply, "Mars Bob
Lee ordered me here, and I'm not afraid
to 60 anywhere he says"
I'm his report to the war department
at home he mentioned this incident and
commented upon it. 1t was taken up by
the press, and created considerable dis
cussion. Gems. Longstreet, Hampton,
and other confederate officers, after the
war, were preparing a history of certain
battles and located this incident in Has
kell's battery. at once wrote to them
and had it corrected, as the young hero
was automatically traced to Jimmy Dal-
lard.

years of age is reported for the whole
Union at 43.7 per 1000 Of living popu-
lation, while in the cities which register
deaths it was 1874 per 1000 Apparently,
the mortality among children was twice
as great in the cities as in the country;
but really the larger urban figures are
in part explained by the circumstance
that in the cities the death returns are
more comp lete than those in the country.
Deaths under 5 years are also less likely
to be reported than those of older per-
sons, and therefore, the percentages of
deaths at different ages above years
given by the census are, DR.. Sozinskey
remarks, much greater than they ought
to be. Even as the table stands, the
average age at death is not far up in the
tWenties.
In England and Wales, where the
vital statistics are accurate, the deaths
from 5 to 20 years of age in 1880 were
less than per cent. of the whole, as
against over II per cent. in the United
States. From 20 to IS they were 81 per
cent. there, and in the United States from
20 to so they we're "a per cent. In En-
gland the deaths of persons over rs
years were about equal to the deaths over
70 here. In England and Wales only SO
per cent. of the deaths were of persons
over 40 years.
EIWhere is human life the longest, think
you, good friend? In France andin Ire
land, In poor, tortured, distressed Ireland,
whose people, as DR.. Sozinskey says, are
supposed to be peculiarly Obvious to
sanitary science. Nearly five in humid
red of the deaths in Ireland are of per-
sons over IS, only about 35 per cent are
under 20 about AZ per cent, or nearly
one half are over IS. France is another
country which is regarded as behind the
age with respect to sanitary science! and
yet48 per cent of the deaths arel of per-
SONS over 20, 25 per cent over 70, only
rs per cent of children under years,
and per cent of young people from
to 90.
DR.. Sozinskey therefore comes to the
conclusion that the vital condition of the
people of England and the United States
is dramatically unsatisfactory" And he
looks very skeptically on the asserted
increase in the length of life there and
here. He contends, too, that if the
physical condition of the people of Ire
land, people poor and comparatively
ignorant of sanitary science, is immense
Iy superior to that of either, there must
be influences at play in both England
and the United States which more thar
counterbalance all the beneficial effects
of the sanitary science in practice il
either country" The lives Of some
children may be saved, but the people
die young. The influences working
against the race he holds to be the arti
fetal mode of existence in civilized coun
tries.

UNCLE JOHNS PROFANITY.

1t Saved Him the Little Hoard He had In
a Savings Bank.
Philadelphia News.
Probably the most profane man in this
country is Uncle John Robinson, of cir
Gus fame. His vocabulary is something
terrible when he is excited. His voice is
stentorian, and in comparison with it the
believing of an angry bull is like the
cooling of turtle dove. In describing
the old mans popularity, canvassman
once said: He kin cuss blue streak in
nine languages an never turn hair"
He had about $4,000 of hard earned
savings on deposit in Cincinnati bank,
and the instant he heard there was trou-
BILE in financial circles he started for
Third street to get his money. It hap
pened that the bank, like most others at
the time, was in no condition to stand a
rum" and its president, an oily tongue1
suave man of the world, with his board
of directors, was on hand to receive anx-
ious depositors and assure them that
'everything is all right" SIN a few
days the storm will blow over" Do not
be unnecessarily alarmed, my dear sir.
We must accord each other mutual con-
f1dence," etc. He had made good pro-
gress in allaying the excitement, and
had for the moment stepped into his
private Office, when Uncle john" red
and perspiring, pushed his way through
knot of waiting business men, and t hen
followed the president to his sanctum.
"Ah, good day, Mr.. Robinson; glad to
see you," said the official, as he almost
blanched white with apprehension as he
thought of Mr.. Robinson's voice and
gentle ? manners.
Eyes, you are glad to see me-" re-
sponded Uncle John in his most sarcastic
tones; 'just as glad as though you had
run nail into yer foot. 1 want none OF
your - complaints, but I do want my
money, and [ want it right now! 1 want
it wuss nor the man in Texas wanted a
pistol. Hand it right out, and no -
foolishness about it." The president
hastily closed the door leading to the
bank, but Uncle John instantly opened
it, saying: mo, you don't come any
hOneyfugling over me. I'm hotter'n q
lime-kiln, and want air, and I want
my money, leave the door open. I amt
sayn' anythin' that's treason. I'm only
askin' for my own, an I'm goin to have
it." In vain the president exerted all
his pacific efforts. John would listen tc
him a moment, catch fresh breaths, and
then in louder and louder tones demand
his money. He swore and ripped and
tore until the air grew blue and sulphur
GUS. The president glanced out anG
saw group of wondering people assem-
bling at the front door. He saw that ht
must act instantly if he would avert the
threatened disaster, SO he called to the
paying teller Mr.. Smith, let Mr. Robin
son have his money" Mr.. Smiths knees
almost ratified as he wondered if he haC
enough funds on hands to meet Uncl,
Johns claim. Fortunately he had few
thousand more. Mr.. Robinson took hi
money home, and for several nights KEEP
it in his bed. The bank at last had t.
close its doors, and the great circus man
ager chuckled as he thought that once
more his brag and buster had served
their purpose

GRAND ARMY AFFAIRS

The Kansas State soldiers reunion fol
1886 will be held in Emporia, commenc-
ing Tuesday, October 9th, and ending
Friday, October 8th, instead of in Sep,
TENDER, as originally published. AL
soldiers and sailors of the late war
especially those now living in Kansas,
and all other citizens are cordially in
vited to attend. The camp accomoda-
tons are expected to be am pie for all
soldiers and their families and friends.
For such as for any reason cannot 90 in
to camp, accommodations will be provid-
ed at the hotels and houses of Emporia.
The entire city has been canvassed and a
register of places of entertainment made,
whereby visitors may be conveniently
and promptly located. Negotiations are
pending for rates of railroad transporta-
ton far below ordinary excursion rates.
Time is required to accomplish this, but
it is hoped that the desired rate NAV be
officially announced early. Orators and
eminent personages of national reputa-
ton have been invited. Many very dis
tinguished men have already accepted.
The Union Prisoners Of War association
in Kansas, the State Veterans Right
Union society and the order of the Sons
of Veterans have already promulgated
orders for their meetings here and APP
pications are being daily received from
&. A. r. posts for quarters. Five hun
dred dollars have been appropriated for
a brass band contest. There will be q
pyrotechnic display, sham battle and
other special attractions. Information
in some form regarding items of interest
to the public, such as the additional at
fractions which will be arranged for. the
names OF speakers, etc, will be furnished
as they occur.
In the Great Bend Register Miss Clara
Barton speaks as follows: We are fre
quently asked what is the object of the
association known as the Woman's Relief
Corps Auxiliary to the Grand Army
of the Republic. To ell such
persons we reply, like the Yankee
with another question: What was
the object of the Woman's Sanitary
Commission during the late war? So to-
Jay as then, our mission Is TO aid, help,
and assist the soldier in all ways that he
needs; in extending our heartfelt SYM
pathy and charity. to all the brave bows
who wore the blue, and to whom we shall
be ever grateful for offering their lives
their all, to their country's cause in her
greatest hour Of peril and through the
sacrifice OF many thousands OF these
brave men, we DO now enjoy the liberty
of free. happy and undivided govern
ment. To aid and succor those OF whom
we are so Justly proud, and many VI
have left their families to Us as precious /
legacies to care and thus show that TIE
women OF America are grateful to the
heroic defenders OF their country. This
is our aim, and our organization is not

EDUCATED TASTE.
A Horse Eats Oysters and a Dog Chews
Candy.

A Horse Eats Oysters and a Dog Chews
Candy.
Philadelphia Record.
Oysters and candy are accounted as
delioacies only to delight the human
palate, and it is rare thing for either
to be fed to an animal. There are in this
city, however, horse and dog which
have been educated to eat these morsels
with great relish, and the. animals are
accounted great curiosities. The horse
is owned by South Ninth street oyster
dealer, and daily consumes a large quan-
tity Of the toothsome bivalves, invaria-
bly, taking them upon the half-shell. The
horses appetite for oysters is such that
when standing in front of the store he
has to be securely tied and all the shell
fish removed from his reach. When his
owner goes to the wharves for supply
Of oysters the ringing sound of the knife
as the oysters are opened frenzies the
horse, and he uses every endeavor to get
to the spot where he can satiate his I'M
natural appetite. Plated oysters he does
not care for, and when offered to him
will show his dislike by elevating his
nose. When the oysters are offered on
the shell, however, he evinces his pleas
ure by an expression that partakes al
most of the nature of smile as he con-
sumes dozen after dozen of the choicest
salts.
The candy eating dog is owned by a
cigar dealer on Girard avenue, above
Eight street. Upon the southeast corner
Of two streets is a booth where stick
candy is sold, and the keeper of the
stand classes the dog among his best GUS
toners. Passengers at the transfer sta
ton near by notice the dog coming away
from the stand with stick of candy in
his mouth, and they generally believe
the hnd-hearted old man has given it to
the animal. Not so, however, for the dog
pays for each stick he gets with pennies
given him by the frequenters of the cigar
store He takes the penny in his mouth,
and, dropping it upon the pavement at
the booth, receives his candy and returns
home to enjoy it. A few nights ago he
had unusual luck, three pennies were
given him. The first two he spent upon
himself, but On the third trip he made
to the candy stand he had a smaller dog
with him. After getting stick of candy
he bit it in two equal parts, and giving one
piece to the smaller dog took the other
himself. The two animals then trotteC
up Girard avenue to hunt place where
lthey could eat their sweetmeats unmo
ested.
