CRIME EPIDEMICs.-It has fire.
quently been noticed that there are
epidemics Of robberies, as well as
Of suicides and other crimes. Re-
cent Developments in stage and
train looting only emphasize the
above assertion. A criminal epi.
demic, peculiar to half . dozen
large cities Of the United States
that have q large and vicious popu.
lation, is that Of Sunday murders,
which are the results Of O day Of
idleness spent in open saloons.
Then again, murders with peculiar
features often occur in groups in
oil parts Of the country. In France
there 10 tradition, centuries old,
that epidemics Of suicide return in
regular cycles; and ut each recur-
renee Of the suicidal furore the
successive victims Of their own
murderous hands vie with each
other in the greater ghastliness Of
the tragedy that they enact.
Stories Of wife-murders in vari-
ous parts Of the country, relieved
by Q few exceptional murders Of
husbands by their wives, reach the
press simultaneously from many
different sources. Murder is in
the air., has become q stereotyped
expression among newspaper men
and detectives, who know from OF.
perience that such epidemics will
run their cycles and cause many
bloody records to be made before
they have spent their fury.
With bank-robberies it is the
same. It is not often that q single
robbery is made-one is sure to
breed others "they come not sing
ly, but in whole battalions. This
is not because the same gang en-
cages in many different enterprises,
but because a universal similar i'm
pulse permeates the minds Of the
classes devoted to that form of
guilt.
A curious study might be made
of the spidemics Of crime. In
medieval times, and even now in
superstitious countries, all evils
were and are attributed to the in
fiuence of adverse stars. Probably
this is an approach to great scien-
tific truth, or its advance shadow,
to say the least. That meteorolog-
ical conditions seriously affect the
health and spirits is fact of such
everyday experience that it is no
longer regarded as phenomenal.
The causes of meteorological
changes must be the causes lying
back Of the pervading disposition
to commit peculiar kinds Of crime.
A suicidal or q murderous atmos-
phere must, therefore, have its ORR
gin in some Of the secret springs Of
nature. There are causes for all
things in life and nature, and no
study of such causes 10 in vain

A BILLION DoLLARs.-The ff.
ty-frst Congress made appropria-
tions aggregasing one billion eight
million Of dollars, and did it eve,
strike you what that much money
meant in material form ?
Let's zee o minute.
A dollar bill 10 seven and shall
inches long; o billion eight million
of them would be 1856, 400, ,00O
inches or in round numbers 120, ,0OC
miles, almost half way to the moon.
A band Of dollar bills five times
around the earth, or . belt Of dol
lars fifteen inches wide clean round
the equator.
A dollar bill contains twenty-five
and half square inches; one bill
lion eight million would contain
%, $50. 900, 900 square inches or 3d.
GIG acres, and we then have a car
pet Of dollar bills spreading over
more than five square miles Of ter
ritory. a.r.a .
One hundred dollar bills may bs
squeezed into . space of one inch
high, o billion eight million of them
would rise in . monument l6O
miles above the surface Of the earth.
Counting one hundred dollars o
minute, . bank clerk would require
1880 working days of ten hours
each to count this money, rather a
long time for somebody to wait on
the outside of the counter for his
cash.
In silver dollars this amount
would weigh 81, 500 tons, that is to
say 1878 carloads. An army of
AL, 900 men each carrying $50
pounds would be required to move
the pile, and if the dollars were
laid one upon the other, running
eight to the inch, there would rise
q monument Of silver 1 ,9S7 miles
high, some distance further up than
is the Grant monument in New
York.
Paying $50 an acre for land this
money would buy 100 201 900 acre
farms and paying the government
price Of t1.25 per acre it would buy
five States the sise of Texas, and
twenty-five the sizeof Michigan.
1t would pay the salary Of the
President Of the United States for
twenty thousand one hundred and
sixty years. that il TO say, for the
next five thousand and forty Presi-
dents; and it would be ample TO
meet the wages of the Vice Presi-
dents for one hundred and twenty
six thousand years, or the next
81 500 Of them. -
A private soldier in the regular
army could be accommodated with
pocket money out Of it for almost
six million four hundred thousand
years. as.r.
Itwould furnish to a thirsty mul-
titude twenty billion one hundred
and sixty million glasses Of beer,
say d little less than twenty each for
every man woman and child on the
earth. IL
It would, IL distributed, give ev-
cry State in the Union twenty-four
new millionaires, and it would pay
the salaries Of two Senators from
each State for 2,3oo years. s4
And lastly the whole sum would
not buy single breath Of life for .
dying man, or do him particle Of
good sfter the breath had left his
body.-Detro1 Free Prsss. ,- i.

THE BELLA-UNION THEATRE,

Although new enterprise is receiving
the generous patronage of the public
which il well deserves. as the crowded
houses every night testify. Everything
throughout the building is new and neat
as pin. The building is thoroughly
ventilated which secures the comfort of
the patrons, as they can keep cool as in
any place in the city. Only first class
speciality artists are employed, the Mex
lean troupe being worthy of special men
ton. A new feature of this theatre, and
one which the management desires par
ticularly 10 introduce TO the public is the
Sunday afternoon matinees; PeO-
pie have an idea that a variety
theatre cannot, or does not, give clean
entertainment, but this is mistake.
These Sunday afternoon matineeS are
given especially for the benefit of the
ladies and children and are under the
personal supervision of the genial mana
ger, Mr.. j. T. Leer. Not the least sem
blance of vulgarity is allowed in the play,
perfect order is maintained through
out the house, the bar being
entirely cut off from the building
proper, so that the ladies and children can
rest assured that they will be as we'll
taken care of as if in the privacy of their
own homes. Come out Sunday evening
and bring your little ones and let them
enj few hours of good, solid fun.
