The City Troops Were the Toughest.

From the St. Louis Post Dispatch
 Il noticed few days ago an article in the Post Dispatch concerning the mortality among the German members of the G. A. R." said Capt. William T. Haskell, of Kit Carson post. of Washington, D. C., to g Fost-Dispatch reporter, ';and was struck by the facts it presented, I have not hith- erto paid any attention to this question, but since the matter has been called to my notice l recollect that the deaths among the German veterans of my acquaintance have been very frequent during the last few years. Another point in regard to Grand Army mortality which l have studied with some care is the fact that the death-rate of those who origin ally came from the country far exceeds that of the city men. It is generally supposed that 8 country life is conducive to health but as far as the records of the War depart nnent prove anything the contrary is the ease. When in the Army of the Potomac I served in a regiment recruited in the city of New York. Stoddard's Vermont brigade was in our division, and it was remarkable fact that those stalwart mountaineers, men of large size and great muscular develop ment, were far more subject to disease than our city boys, and died like sheep in the Chickahominy swamps, while the death-rate among the city regiments was very low con- paratively. Since the close of the war, and especially during the last ten years, the sur> vivors of the country regiments, at least in the East, for I know nothing of the West, show a much higher mortality than the me. trepolitan troops, and sickness is much more frequent. I have heard from French and German officers that the same state of affairs prevails in the armies of those countries, and from all these facts am inclined to believe that the general impression that city life is unhealthy is entirely false"

 From the Saturday Review.1
 All the inhabitants of winter station re- ceived some share of the seals captured. Anyone might fish and use the weirs made by others. Housemates, but not place mates, were fed by the families best off for food at the moment. Virtually the surplus of any idividual or community was made over to those who had less." But the prop erty essential to each-individual was secured to him by kind of supernatural sanction, resembling the tabu. Apparently a man with, say, three coats was not supposed to have this protection extended to the third coat. If we suppose these rules suddenly brought into European civilization, it is plain that extensive idleness would be the first result. Those who had nothing would use up the property of those that had some thing-while it lasted. Among the Eskimo the community checked this partly by ex- posing the id1er to satirieal songs at the meetings of placemates. In places where, as in Danish West Greenland, European in- fuence has been felt, the old communism hourishes, but the old customary obligations to work have weakened, and ''the natural consequence has been impoverishment." 7" Capital punishment is inflicted by the de- cision of the community on witches and on individuals obviously dangerous to the pulp lie. Though the Eskimo are generally re- garded chiehess, Dr. Rink in his new book says that each house or station has it's chief or patriarch. A punishment as severe as turning man out of his house in mid-winter has been noticed. There is another authority the augakok-a kind of brehon or author ized wizard and judge.
 All this condition of society rests on the extreme dependence of man on man in these very small and isolated communities. To be turned out of them would be nearly equiva- lent to death, or, at least, to the condition of the Weendigo, the lonely ogre of Labra- dor. Moreover, while the development and improvement of boats and harpoons is mo- ticed as you pass from the western to the eastern tribes, 'fthe contrary may be said so far as regerds social organization" The conditions for accommodating individual prop erty are more favorable in the west, but there it is checked bya habit of making pro- fuse gifts. A well-to-do western Eskimo is like rich Athenian of old. The gifts of the former answer to the ''liturgsis" of the latter. Position and influence are acquired by this gift-giving, and when position is once firmly secured we may doubt how long the giving will last. There is arising some- thing like the system of rank which prevails keeping of slaves, ''of all habits the one apparently most at variance with Eskimo social life," is developed. Among the Ants, a neighboring Indian people, 'the person who gives away most property receives the greatest praise and in time acquires the highest rank" not hereditary, "obtainable by such means" In fact. his generosity resem- bles that of a person engaged in "nursing constituency"

HOW FREE TRADE WORKs.

HOW FREE TRADE WOhASe
 Sir Edward Sullivan is doing some good work in putting before the people of Great Britain facts and arguments which show that free trade is not the unmitigated bless ing it has so long been supposed to be in England His letters on the subject are at- traeting great deal of attention, as they ought to.
 Sir Edward makes use of notable phrase -escapital and labor"-to comprehend the skill, industry, strength and health of the working classes. This he says represents in England an annual income of $2, 100, 900, 900. and stands for an aggregate capital of s31, ,ss5, ,0oO, 900. There are 3,00O,000 Eng lishmen dependent upon the increase of what is ordinarily called capital, while 30, 900, GOO depend upon this capital of labor. It is generally acknowledged that it is the first duty of government to protect and pro-
 mote the employment of this enormous capi- tai of labor, yet that is just what free trade does not do. It protects and promotes in comes from moneyed capital and drives working people out of the country or makes the capital of labor pro6tless. And in order to show how free trade works Sir Edward gives, among others, the following illustra- tion: A London concern has $25o, worth of labels to be made, and acting on the free trade principle of buying in the cheap est market, contracts with continental con- cern to make them, saving $50, 900 by the operation This is 8 handsome saving to their moneyed capital, but to the capital of labor it is a dead loss. The paper makers, type founders, ink manufacturers, printers, etc, are deprived of s250, ,0OO worth of em- ployment- It is impossible to convince English workingmen that it is for their benefit to l,sy $2o0, ,000 to German workers. The $50, 900 saved certainly does not help them penny It is possible that the articles to which these labels are affixed might be pur- chased for a trife less than if the labels were made by the English workmen; but that is very doubtful. At any rate, no one can claim that the saving of $50,000 to the firm offsets to the workmen the loss of $250, 900 worth of employment
 This is strong and plain way of putting the case. It ought to be useful to the Eng fish, and is we'll worth attention in this country Such arguments are easily under stood and are worth much more thaa the theories of the free traders.

 The new ballot law of Wisconsin was used at the recent election in Milwaukee and it worked we'll. It provides for a ticket room and Q voting room at each election precinct, with a hall or passage-way between. The voter receives ballot from the sworn State election officers in the front room, which only one voter is allowed to enter at time, and passes alone to the voting room, where he deposits his ballot and goes out of door provided for that purpose. No crowd of persons is allowed to collect within hundred feet of the polling places and no person is allowed to offer tickets or solicit votes within the same distance. The Milwaukee Sentinel says: The system of voting in Milwaukee has proved decided advantage over that which formerly prevailed. Under the old system, with such an issue as divided parties on Tuesday, there would inevitably have been more or less trouble at the polls. Voters would have been kept from the polls by intimidation, there would have been knock-downs and broken heads. All this was avoided by the arrangement that allowed each voter to select his ballot without inter ference, to enter alone the room where the ballot box was kept, and which provided for his passing out immediately by another door than that at which he entered. It broke up the business of ticket Reddling, of browbeat- ing ignorant voters and secured perfectly. orderly and quiet election

eral ti mes, and the vatchful operator then stopped working. At last the job was com- pleted and Captain Dewey bore off the vic- tim's head in a sack, dropped into his row. boat, and after reaching the shore went to 8 public house, where he met some friends with whom he made merry over the success. He remained quiet till the excitement blew over. While this was at it's height the peo- pie of Wheeling, Va, celebrated his act by ringing bells, assembling in public meeting and passing laudatory resolutions. The Con- stitution went without a hgure-head to New York, but another image of Jackson, firmly fastened by great copper bolt driven through the head, was placed at her bows. It was a reproduction of the old image, and the bust from which it was modelled is now at the Charlestown navy.yard.
 Dr. Holmes stirring lines are said to have saved "Old Ironsides" from destruction after orders had been issued to break up the his- toric craft.

 The potato Bugs will do well to emigrate. A resident of Cartwright (Ont. )has invented machine for catching and killing potato bugs. It resembles a wheelbarrow with & fan on each side of it, and is propelled in the same way. It is wheeled between two rows of plants, from which the fans sweep the bugs against the centerboard, on striking which they fall between two rapidly revolv ing rollers and are crushed to pulp. The motive power is obtained from the wheel. It works effectively.
