In the present state of knowledge, it
may be assumed as proved that typhoid
fever and poisoning from drains or vaults
are nseparably connected, and the man
who lives in a town supplied with good
sewers is, on an average, less than half as
likely to be afflicted with this dreadful
disease as one who is Obliged to dwell
among cesspools. Even after the soil of
a city has boone irreclaimably foul, as it
Is in nearly all large towns, change i'll
the system of disposal of refuse by which
the addition of new pollutions to those
already existing is avoided, is always
as 1t seems, followed by an abrupt diminu-
ton OF the death-rate from typhoid fever
and kindred diseases. The comparison
and compilation OF health statistics, with
their relation to circumstances of
drainage and ground water, is as yet
hardly begun but the RCruC ScicntifquC
gives few data in relation to the larger
European towns which are Interesting.
According to these, the abolition of the
system OF depositing house wastes iii
large fOsses or cesspoOls, to remain there
until removed by the public AUTHORITY,
Years almost universal in Continental
cities, has been already followed by sur
priSng results in diminishing the NOR
tallty from all causes, but more particu
larry from typhoid diseases. In Berlin,
where the first attempts to improve upon
the old system were made in 1870, the to
tai annual mortality has been reduced by
nearly one fourth, while that from typhoid
fever is now about One-half the average
of the years preceding the change. In
Brussels, where cesspOols We're replaced
by sewers in 1870, the mortality from ty-
phOid fever fell at once to about One-thiru
of its former proportion, and the improve
ment continued, perhaps by some gradual
amelioration OF the condition of the soil,
so that the rate now is little more than
one-tourth of the old average. AT Frank
fort nearly similar results were obtained,
and III London, which, rs a severed city,
is usually compared with PARIS, where
most OF the house wastes are still received
into cesSpOos, the annual number of
deaths from typhoid fever. out OF
each 100000 OF the population, is twenty.
six, and from diphthcria eighteen,
while out of the same number of persons
in Paris seventy die every year from
typhoid fever and seventy-fiVe from diph-
iberia. "A mcricdn architect.

United states remains at Il standstill
but the material 10 carry the work up to
the war of the rebellion has been collected
and classified, and MIR. Spofford, who, it
IS supposed, has been selected by Mr..
Bancroft and mentioned in his will a-
ms literary executor, can carry on the
great work from the point where the
master drops it.
Mr., BancrOft's methods of labor are pc
cullar. lie has had his historical data in
The vaults of Il safe deposit company in
Washington for years. When he intends
To write he sends for whatever notes or
manuscripts he needs-and he has copies
OF all of the archives of the United states
ana several foreign count. les, gathered at
an immense cost of money and labor--and
deVotes himself to study until he has every
TACT liked in his mind, with the relating
circumstances. Then he calls in his stem
ographer and dictates to him at length,
constantly welking up and down his room
as he does so, generally with his hands
under his coat tails, or leaning back in his
easy chair with Il long German pipe III his
mouth. After the notes are written out
Mr. Bancroft devotes himself to the work
OF condensing and refining them, Otter
reducing five or six PAGES into one The
result is then copied and laid away, often
Tor Yeas, until the subject or the epoch of
which he is treating is complete. Then
he takes the manuscript, goes over it
again in the same manner, leaving scarce
~ line as it originally stood, but rewrit-
ing the whole.
His habits of life are very frugal and
simple. He goes to bed early and sleeps
for eight or nine hours. Then he rises,
has cup of coffee aud an egg, and goes
out for his morning ride BY 10 o'clock or
so he returns, writes, studies or dictates
for couple of hours. and then takes a
a hearty luncheon at II or soon after.
Then he returns to his work for couple
of hours, and if the weather will permit
takes ride, or a walk, or IA drive with his
granddaughter. Miss Susannah, beauti-
full girl who was born in Germany OF a
German mother. and when she came over
after Mrs. Bancroft's death, Il year ago
could not speak English. She has learned
it rapidly, however, and is not only her
grandfather's companion, but his house
keeper anG pet.
The Old man and the girl live alone in the
great brown stone house on II street not tal
from the White House. He usually has q
good many calls in the evening and i,
fond of the society Of young people Hi.
amusement indoors is whist and he has ;
circle of crOnieS who come regularly t
play with hin. and drink the rare old win,
he brought from Germany years ago.
