Commissioner Tanners Nepotism.

Tanner has excited some opposition
in Congressional circles, also, for
having SO many of his relatives ap-
pointed to Office. He has had one of
his daughters appointed confidential
secretary to succeed the dismissed
Squires. The daughter is a young
lady just out of the Brooklyn schools,
and it may be fairly assumed, as is
charged by Congressional people and
by pension attorneys, that she is not
competent to perform the important
duties of this position. She knows
nothing about the routine business OF
the Pension Office. The position Of
confidential secretary is an important
one. That official, as the present adj
ministration of the Pension Bureau
sho VS., has often acted for the Com
missioner himself. This Squires did,
and it is hardly to be assumed that a
young girl is competent, without pre-
vious training to fill this place. An
other daughter of Corporal Tanner
has secured position in the office OF
a local pension agent here. The total
salary now said to be drawn by the
Tanner family in this city is 1884

throughout the Union it is a story OF
strikes and restitution, all under the
sheltering and benefcent wing of the
high tariff. Great strikes are of such
common occurrence here that they
have ceased to be news. In England
there has lately been only one-that
of the seamen at Liverpool and Glas-
gov. As wages go up with the En-
fish, they go down corresponding
distance with us.
These baneful workings of the tariff
are becoming so plain that the people
can not much longer remain blind to
the facts which are every day forced
upon their notice. Here are two ma.
tions of the same Anglo-Saxon race; one
enjoys over the other immense ad-
vantages in the way of extent and free
government; they employ precisely OPP
posite commercial systems; in the
small, overcrowded country the masses
are daily improving their condition
and increasing their earnings; in
the other, where, under the same con-
ditions, it is much easier to prosper,
their wages grow smaller every year.

DURATION OF LIFE.
The Greatly Increased Longevity of Man.
kind in Modern Times.

The Greatly Increased Longevity of Man.
kind in Modern Times.
DR.. Todd, president of the Georgia
State Medical Society, read at the an
nual meeting of that body, a paper on
longevity" which possesses great in
trinsic interest, and at the same time
is gratifying as showing how much
medical and sanitary science and
more rational mode of life have done
to prolong the human span, and how
much better in every way are the con-
ditions of to-day than of those good
old times for the return of which sem
timentalists vainly sigh. The doctor
is modest in his claims, making no eff
fort to monopolize in the name of the
medical profession credit for better
ment in which SO many agencies play
parts; but he does claim, and with
reason, that the intelligent physician
has had much to do with the result,
and that death rates Of the various
peoples of the globe bears ratio very
nearly inverse to the number of quail
fed physicians among them. The
highest death rate in Europe is that of
Russia, ranging from 20 per 1000 in
Courland and % per 1000 in the
Baltic province, there being many
physicians in both districts, to 40 in
places where there are but few. But
one-half of the children born in some
parts of Russia reach the 7th year,
and of 1000 male children only from
480 to 400 reach the age of 81 years,
and of these only S75 are able-bodied.
Russia, with all its teeming popula-
ton, has only 15,414 regular physi-
clans, and one surgeon to every 100,-
900 population. The United States,
having a doctor OF medicine for every
600 population. shows the lowest death
rate in the world, England following.
The average life expectancy in the
United States is now 55 years; in En-
land among the urban population it is
so, and among the ruralists "a years
plus. Russians have life expectancy
of but % years, approximately, and
Chilians of the same, while in Ellobed,
in the Soudan, % years is a genera
tion. The average life in the Rome of
the Caesars was Is years; now it is 40
years. Within 50years the average in
France has increased from % to 45a
years, and in the days of Queen Eliza
beth the English average was but 20
years. DR.. Todd ascribes the great
and progressive change for the better
| to advanced medical knowledge, better
drainage and diet, greater cleanliness,
and to vaccination and the use of an
aesthetics, quinine, and the like. He
thinks that quinine alone has added
two years to the average life Of civil
lied man. To these agencies should be
added the decrease Of war, the more
lenient laws. and the greater temper,

CUPiD'S NEW ARROW,

Young Cupid went storming to Vulcan one
day,
And besought him to look at his arrow.
4'Ts useless" he cried; 'you must mend it,
say!
IT'S not fit to let fly at sparrow.
There's something that's wrong in the shaft or
the dart,
For it flutters quite false to my aim:
It's an age since it fairly went home to the
heart,
And the world really jests at my name.
" have Strengthened, I've bent, I've tried all,
declare;
I've perfumed it with sweetest OF sigbs:
TITS feathered with ringlets my mother might
wear,
And the barb CLEANS with light from young
eyes;
But falls without touchng-rll break it, ]
VOW
For there's Hymen beginning to pout;
He's complaining his torch burns so dull and
so low
That Zephyr might pun it right out"
Little Cupid went on with his pitiful tale
Till Vulcan the weapon restored
'There, take it; young str: try 1t now-if it fail
will ask neither fee nor reward
The urchin shot out, and rare havoc he made
The wounded and dead were untold;
But no wonder the rogue had such slaughterine
trade,
For the arrow was plated with gold.

For an hour the small boy walked up

upon any potato which might chance
to be peeping out of the ground, often
roofing deeply with hands for others
which lay concealed near them.
We'll, I've got my potatoes at last!"
he said, standing up to wipe his fore
head, land l didn't have to dig bit.
But it's awfully hot, and my back aches
like sixty. OF course, it's hard to get
potatoes, even if you don't have to dig.
What's that? It's the dinner-horn.
But it can't be dinner-time. But what

Jack.
