JOINT RESOLUTION.


Be it resolved by the Mobiles and Repre-
sentatives Of the Hawaiian Islands
in Legislative Council assembled
That, in the sense OF this house, the
demands of France are so clearly unjust,
and contrary to the laws of nations and
to treaty and the course pursued by her
is so incompatible with the existence of
a regular Independent government in
these islands; if France should persist
in such a course, it will be the duty OF
the king to shield himself and his king
dom from insult and oppression, by plac-
ing this kingdom under the protection OF
some friendly state, and that should such
emergency be so urgent as not TO admit
of the legislative council being convened,
it shall be left to His Majesty. by and
with the advice of his privy council,
under such emergency, to consult the
honor and safety OF his kingdom, accord
ing to His Majesty's best Judgment; and
that whatever he may do, will be bind
ing upon the nation,

famous for its brogans, Spencer for its

MORTALITY OF clERoYMEN.

Rercentago of Death and Diseases q
which They Are Most Subject.
An interesting essay upon the average
mortality among clergymen has recently
been prepared and evidently with much
care. Among much curious information
on the subject it is shown that of 9, ,OS(
who died 196 lost their lives from in
fictitious disease, the largest number.

malignant forms Of disease" that is, to
troubles of . cancerous character. Dis.

fatal in 1l3 cases, 81 dying from brain
disease and So from affections Of the
spine. As many as 524 died from throat

ed to pneumonia and bronchitis and 156
to consumption. Heart disease was the
cause of death in 2O4 instances; 299 died
from apoplexy, and 223 are said to have
died from old age. Only IA out of 2, ,O30
accident, being murdered; Q were
described as insane.
Comparing now the death-rate of min
listers, in respect Of the causes of death,
with tho mortality of other men, the
following results are obtained: OF S6,.
S31 clergymen $50 died Of infectious dis
eases. The usual experience Of an in
surance company would have made the
number 2S9-that is. tho mortality of
clergymen was only 20 per cent of the
ordinary death-rate. The death-rate Of
physicians from these diseases was 127
above the usual rate, pointing to
the greater danger Of contagiOn in
the case Of the physician than in
that Of the pastor. OF lung affec-
tions, excluding consumption, 81 cler-
gymen died, instead of 32S, the number
expected from mortality tables. Physi-
clans died Of such diseases lis per cent
above the average rate. Between the
ages Of o6 and IS the mortality of Ro-
man Catholic clergymen, compared with
Protestant ministers of the same age,
was as 137 to 1O9, while between the
ages of 46 and 65 the difference WAS as
l54 to 100, and between the ages Of GO
and IS as lis to 100. How to explain
this striking difference is no easy task.
1t is suggested that it may be connected
with the life of celibacy followed by
priests, also with the rigid penances Of
Catholic ecclesiastics, which, especially
in the case Of young men, are apt to de.
range the digestive organs.-MedicN
