The city OF Edinburgh Is notable for it,
healthfulness and for the loxnsss Of is
death rate. The weekly reports for several
weeks since I came here hsve shown q
yearly rate as low as Ia per 1860. and the
annual mortality OF the city is between ie
and Is per 1000. The drainage and sewer.
age are OF the best kind. the streets and
wynds are kept clean by thorough daily
scraping and sweeping; there are public
parks and gardens Dy the score, and there
are always fresh sea breezes or breezes
from the hills by which the city is sur
rounded. If the denizens of the impover.
ished quarters here could but be induced
10 use water more freely upon their per.
sons and to get rid of vermin they would
be all the happier! But, anyhow compare
the death rate with that of New York;

not desire any dole for his guardianship.
QUIET SUNDAY.
This is city of rare quietude on Sunday.
All business is then prohibited; the tram.
ways do not un, and it is hard to find q
vehicle of any kind for hire. The great
majority OF the people are rigorous in their
attendance at church, and those who do
not go there are apt to loafin the parks, OF

ings that are held on the greeusward in the
outskirts of the city. or ramble among the
crags and hills that are not far off.
UNIONS AND GUILDS.
The workmen of the skilled trades here
are in tolerable estate. They are welI.fed
not ill-cIad, live in decent homes and are
far more aspiring. self-asserting and intelli.
gent than those of by-gone times. The
wages of many OF them range from 81 to SIC
per week.
They have strikes which, judging by the
newspaper reports, seem to be as numer
Gus as those of their fellow-workmen in the
United States. They enjoy the SATURDAY.
