A CITY HOSPITAL.

Several charitably inclined gentleman
have of late been discussing the necessity, a.
also tho desirability of city hospital Night
before last number met and authorized
James L. Dyer, Esq, to draw up charter
for Incorporation, which will be signed and
forwarded to the secretary of State. This Is
step which meets our hearty approval.
Our great number of schools and churcnes,
our proposed Y. NJ G. A. institution end the
Women's Benevolent home and the W. c. L.
U. are all right and proper and all will be
awarded a support in proportion to their
efficiency as religious. educational and ely
mosipary institutions, but city of this
magnitude must have a hospital to which
any and every unfortunate, without refer
ence to his or her religious or want
of religious beliefs, may be sent
in the hour of his or her
disaster There is another thought coEnec-
ted with the erection and maintenance OF
such building. To have such an institution
bear ones name is the greatest, the most en-
during monument which any liberal hearted
man or woman can erect to himself or her
self. The endowment of schools or churches
speaks more or less of pride. but he who
opens his heart and purse for the benefit of
humanity, for strangers in trou-
BILE and for those who are to come after him,
secures the prayers of good people while he
lives and will command the benedictions of
all after he is gone. We would like to record
that some one of our many rich and prosper
ous citizens had concluded to keep his or her
memory ever green in this city, for all time to
,ome, by giving this charitable institution
such fund as would warrant the incorpor-
ltors in naming it after or for such person.

The Way a Mine Is Developed.

These new mining companies all make
good assay shOwings of their ores, or of
ores OF adjoining or neigh bOring mines
They are not worth the labor making
them. / would rather have good relia-
BILE assay of the men who are at the head
Of the enterprise. That is all there is III
mine. When a company starts to de yelop
a mine it never knows what it is going to
cost until it gets through. Three of us
may go III. The other two may be ready
to put up their full share of the money to
strike the bonanza. 1 may get tired.
They do not want TO develop my property
for my benefit, and they become tired and
quit. The mines lie idle for some time,
and finally they sell out tor little or moth
ing, TO get rid of it. The purchasers must
have my third, and 1 get all put in it, or
may be more.
Then another company starts cut, and it
winds up the same way. Finally a sue
cessOr strikes it rich, and the stock be-
comes very valuable, but it is only after
successive companies have been organ
lied and gone TO pieces. The presumption
is that all OF these mines will be good, if
the persons at the head of them viii only
stick together; but there's the rub, and
that is why an assay OF the men is Of more
moment than Of the ore. Clio bel Democrat

The sanitary value of Trees.

Dr. Stephen Smith recently read
paper before the New York Academy Of
Sciences on the sanitary value of trees in
the city. 1t is q weIl-known fact that
during the intense heat of summer there
is more suffering and death from sun
stroke and high temperature in the north
ern cities than in the south, a result
which must be attributed to the absence
of suitable protection. From 5000 to
5000 people die every summer in the me
trOpolis from the effects of the heat.
In the arid, treeless streets and avenues
the temperature often runs from 130 to
80 degrees Fan, when under the branches
of d thrifty shade tree it VIII not exceed 40
or 50 degrees In the absence OF
sheltering trees, the stone and brick
walls act Oh the principle OF
the regenerative furnace, aud absorb the
heat OF the sun TO yield it up again during
the night If trees were planted in the
streets, the pavements and sur
rounding walls would be much cooler,
and at the same time trees would
absorb the deleterious gases thrown
off from the lungs and from de
composing matter, yielding in return
supply OF pure oxygen.
The value Of a systematic culture of
trees in all OF our large cities can hardly
be estimated. From both a sanitary and
artistic standpoint they are a very desir-
able addition to any large city.-Scientidc

The Lives of Latter-Dav Bipeds.

The lives of Iatter-day bipeds are mostly
half-Jold tales. Our season ends before
uiueUy-uine of a hundred men can reap
more than few meager first-fruits of
their harvest Without any appeal to the
statistics of the Pentateucn, there are rea-
sons to believe that the original average
Of human longevity must ha 'e been con-
siderably shortened. The stnlulant habit
in all its forms has probably reduced our
allotted term % per cent. Luxury, early
marriages, medical decisions, Overwori1,
indoor life, the grievous hurry and worry
Of civilization, have ali contributed their
share to the same effect. Not TO mention
Hebrew patriarchs, but even with the av-
erage longevity Of the philosophers and
poets OF ancient Greece, nine out Of ten
travellers on the higher walks of life could
have reached the goal of their pilgrim
age, instead Of perishlng exhausted by
the wlyside. Now, as surely as 1900
years ago, time distributes his laurels
with ultimate fairness, but for the cur
tailed term of cur present generation that
justice comes mostly too late, and the
wreath has TO be deposited on g grave

IBelieye 1t may be accepted rs an axiom

more true Than IN a Uheater. The law Of

every theatrical performance. Like

The Training of Boy kings.

Boy kings are not whipped, they say;
but neither are boy grocers, nowadays;
and, if restrictions are useful, there may
be as many of them in palace as any
where. Your majesty must not make

is usually a history of oyer-restricJion,
carried in cases one has heard of to the
verge of the pathetic, the sense of respon-
sibiIty weighing necessarily not only on
nurses and tutors, but on the closest rela-
tives, who not infrequenly regard
calumny as TO their treatment as a para
