DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,


WASHINGTON, u G., May l, 1889.
To the Medical Profession: The various medi-
cal associations and the medical profession will
be glad to learn that DT. John :. Billings. sur
geOu United States Army, has consented 10 take
charge of the Report on the Mortality and Vital
Statistics of the United States as returned by the
Eleventh Census
As the United states has no system of regis
tratOn of vital statistics, such as is relied upon
by other civilized nations for the purpose OF
asCertaiuiug the actual movement of pOpula-
ton, our census affords the only opportunity of
obtaining near an approximate estimate of the
birth and death rates of much the larger part
of the country. which is entirely unprOvided
with any satisfactory system of State and
municipal registration.
In view Of this the Census Office. during the
month of May, this year. viii issue to the medi-
cal profession throughout the country ''Physi-
clans Registers for the purpose of obtaining
more accurate returns of deaths than il is posi-
bic for the enumeratOrS TO make. Il is earnestly
hoped that physicians in every p2ri of the cOun-
Try will cooperate with the Census Office in
this important work. The record should be
kent from June !, 1889, to May 81, 1880. Nearly
26 900 of these registration books were filled up
and returned to the Office in 1850, and nearly
all of them used for statistical purposes. It is
hoped that double this number viii be obtained
for the eleventh census
Physicians not receiving reg sterS can obtain
them by sending their names and address to
the Census Office and, with the register. an
official envelope which requires no stamp will
be provided for their return to Washington.
If all medical and surgical practitioners
throughout the country will lend their aid. the
mortality and vital statistics OF the eleventh
census will be more cOmpr- henSiye and com,
plete than they have ever been. Every physi-
clan should take a personal pride in having
this report as full and accurate as It is possible
to make it.
1t is hereby promised that all information OBJ.
tanned through this source shall be held strictly
confidential. ROBERT =. PORTER.

If one runs over the list of persons
known to him he finds very few of more
than forty years living in the houses in
which they born. OF the twenty houses
built more than fifty years ago nearest
my own, only one IS lived in by the
family by which it was originally occu-
pied, while most Of the others have had
numerous successive owners or tenants. OF
my own friends Of my own age there are
but two or three anywhere vino live in the
houses which their fathers occupied before
them This lack of hereditary homes
homes of one family for more than one
generation-is a novel and significant feat
ure Of American society. In its effect on
the disposition Of the people and on the
quality of our civilization it has not re-
ceived the attention it deserves.
The conditions which have brought
about this state of things are obvious. The
spirit Of equality, and the practices, espe-
ciallv in regard to the distribution of
property, that have resulted from it: the
general change in the standards Of living
arising from the enormous development OF
the natural resources of the country and
the consequent uneXampled diffusion of
wealth and material comfort the rapid
settlement of our immense territory. and
the astonishing growth of our old rs well
as of our new cities, have been unfavora-
bic to the existence of the hereditary
| home.
There is scarcely a town in the long
settled parts of the Northern States from
which a considerable portion of its people
has not gone out in the course of the past
fifty years to seek residence elsewhere
Attachment to native soil, affection for
the home of ones youth, the claims OF
kindred, the bonds of social duty, have not
proved strong enough TO resist the allure,
ments of hope, the fair promise of better.
ing fortune, and the love Of adventure
The increasing ease and the vast exten,
sion of means of communication between
different parts of the country have pro,

The number of visitors at great eyposi-

greater than in 1876, money more plenti-

infinitely better, hence at the Three Amer
icas Exposition, ut Washington, We may
| expect at least $4,000, 600 visitors.
Equally significant are the statistics in
regard to the National Board Of Promo
tion, who are so earnestly advocating the
Three Americas movement. They have
frequently been published, but in this
connection should be repeated. During
the three years since the movement was
first started the Governors Of forty States
and Territories. the Mayors Of sixty lead
ing cities, 100 Presidents and Secretaries
of Boards of Trade throughout the United
States, and the officers of most Of the State
and Territorial oranges have, by formal
aud earnest letters, accepted membership
in the Board and pledged their active CO.
operation. In addition 10 this the Foreign
Affairs Committee Of the United States
House Of Representatives has, 10y unan-
imouS vote, fayorably reported the Three
Americas Exposition bill, and the Boards
Of Trade throughout the country are now,
lat their respective monthly meetings,
showing a renewed and additional interest
by appointing standing committees upon
this important subject.
There is still another statistical fact
which should not be forgotten, and that is
the exposition IN 1892 is in honor of four
hundred years of American history, prog
ress, grandeur and glory.
In conclusion, we beg to remind the
press and the public that Washington is
the city of the nation and of all the States,
the national capital of 60,000,O00 Amer
lean people, city in which all are
equally interested, and of whose adorn-
ment all should be equally proud. 1t is
also the capital of the oldest, weaithlest
and foremost Of the several sister nations
of the three Americas. 1t is not 4 COM
mercial city and therefore has no rivals,
for other cities will reap the trade bene-
fits Of this movement
For these reasons it has, with marked
unanimity, been selected by the American
people as the proper place for the great
exposition of 1892.

Black Snow.

A phenomenon that has not yet been
satisfactorily explained was Witnessed on
April %, at AItken, MINI. Shortly before
) o'clock in the afternoon 1t became so
dark that lights were necessary in business
houses, and the air was filled with snow
that was as black and dirty as though it
had been trampled into the earth. Six
ounces of snow and one-fourth ounce of
dirt and sand were found in the bottom OF
a dish. The dirt is very fine, something
like emery, and contains particles that
have metallic luster. This dirty snow
fell TO the depth of half an inch. The at
mosphere at the time presented peculiar
greenish tinge There was little wind
blowing at the time from the northwest,
though there seemed to be considerable
wind high in the air. Solid chunks of ice
and sand are reported to have been picked
M in various places.

MY LOVE.

Her syes are like the June skies,
Her smile, like morning light;
Her dimpled cheeks fragrant bunch
OF roses red and white.
The Clink of yellow treasures,
The miser loves to hear;
The music of her laughter
Alone can charm my ear.
She meets me in the doorway,
Her fair face wreathed in smiles,
And with her ways bewitching,
The evening hour beguiles.
/ come and sit beside her,
And with her ringlets play;
kiss her and caress her,
And she does not say me nay.
Oh what JOY deem it,
Her fairy form to hold:
She is my sisters baby,
And only twelve months old.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Count Won Arco
the German Minister. called at the State De-
pBrtment this afternoon and had q conference
with Secretary Bayard In regard to Samoan
affairs. He informed the Secretary that ho
had received communication from Prince
Bismarck to the effect that the German Gov
errmcnt proposes resumption at Berlin of
the consultations which took place in Wash
ington between representatives OF Germany,
Great Britain, and tho United States, in 1887,
on the subject Of Samoa. The above informa-
tion was furnished to the press by Secretary
Bayard. with the statement that 1t was all he
would say on the subject at present. 1t wns
therefore impossible to obtain to-day the full
text OF Prince Bismarck'S communication. 1t
is probable however, that 1t will be transmit
ted tS Congress tomorrow NO: or the next day.
The House Committee on Foreign Affairs to-
day decided to recommend non concurrence In
Consular Appropriation bill. The amendment

BERLIN. Feb. Accommodating upon tho &C.
tion OF the United States Senate. in voting a

National IeittnA says: America obtained the
right to establish a coaling station from Ma
lietoa, but she did not take advantage Of the
privilege within the specified time. The estab-
lishment Of n station now would appear to be
an American protest against German annexa-
tion."
The North German Gazette tonight makes
allusion to Mr.. Pendletons being unwell. This
is construed as an indication that the appoint-
ment OF now American Minister is desirable:
there is no reason to deny the statement that
Secretary Bayard sent instructions to Mr..
Pendleton, it Is certain that the latter has
made no overtures whatever to the German
Government. On account of i'll health Mr..
Pendleton has not called at the Foreign Office
for months. and since he resumed his duties
some weeks ago he has not been the bearer Of
any official communication whatever from his
Government about the Samoa matter. We
