The visit of the Steam yacht MOhicaR
was quite IN event in town, being the
first steam yacht which has visited our
shores.
Through the courtesy Of Capt. Simpson
| had the pleasure Of u personal inspection
OF his magnificent vessel.
or course it is not my int ntiOn to
attempt a description, rs TIL general fea-
lures OF thpSr floating palaces ara we'll know
to your readers; suffice it to say that she
is a three i'll listed vessel Of 100 tons, elabO.
rately fitted up with the latest modern
improvements in the shape of steam steer
ing gear, apparatus for electric lights &c.
sc.
The SplendOr of the rooms, the lavish
display Of plate, the elaborate carvings
of wood. etc were perfectly bewildering
in their magniicpncp, and although | am
no lover of the sea for its own sake, yet
among such surroundings | could "blde
there awee"-perhapS forever.
Among the Statuary the figure which
attracted my attention most was a bronze
representing "the last of the MOhicans,"
well known to the readers of FenimoTe
Cooper'S delightful novel of that name.
The owner of this vessel is Mr.. VIM.
Clark, of tue firm of Clark & Co. thread
manufacturers, who is on a pleasure trip,
accompanied by Mrs. Clark s. Mr.. WIN.

9 women brought forth twins and one woman
triplets, which latter occurrence is an exceed
ingly rare one. Estimated by the census Of
1880 the number of children born amounts
to almost 1920 (42o/oo); in Denmark the
rate OF birth annually IS $1,000; and still |
think that some-perhaps not many-children
have escaped the midwives.
The birthrate IS high, but unfortunately
the death rate seems still higher, but the
exact figures | am unable to give.
Ofthe 78l women 298 were married, equal
to $500 36.5oIo); 453 were unmarried, equal
to 500 (%63.5o/o, which shows such t%ri1ing
progress, that it must be con8jderel fortuitous.
In Denmark 1870 are illeg.tilnate.
The 4 midwiyes in the 2 towns-who how
ever attended a few cases in the country also
report 378 births, of which l59 legitimate
equal to APP Q. The ) m;dwive5 in the
country report 403 births, Of which l39 legi-
innate, equal to 34.4oIo. From this it can
quite safely be deduced that marriages are
more frequent in the towns than in the
country.
Out of 1872 children 408 were boys, 384
girls, giving a relation Of 1862 boys to 100
girls, exactly corresponding to the mutual
relation OF the sexes at birth in Denmark and
through most OF Europe. For 1886 the relation
WAS lC0.8 boys to 100 girls. TT children
were corn at full to m, IS before term. 731
children are reported born alive, only 81 as
born dead .: $500, whereas in Denmark
$500 Of births are children born dead. The
reason is the easy births here, which is also
illustrated by the fact, that artificial help was
only called for in 6 cases, equal to 0.77oIo
Of the births and by the fact that out of 73l
mothers only 4 1885, g. died as a consequence
OF the bir5hs-an exceedingly favorable re-
suit.
As mentioned already, in 10 cases more
than one child WAS Dorm at a single birth,
equal to 1882 Of the births, which we'll
corresponds with the relations in Denmark,
namely 1926.
The number of births in ls5 quarter was

Many of our readers will he interested in

it is plain that the general population Of

gates to congratulate him on his nomi.
nation and to pledge support towards
his election; he welcomes them ali, says

The first reflection which arises is Of
to the wondrcus saet and readiness OF

every delegation, aud has never said the

platitudious speech; he has never
spoken without saying something; moi
has he ever degenerated inlo that easily
