Mr.. James Payn, the English novelist,
has been Of late investigating a grewsome
subject. He finds that no less than $780,
900 persons annually commit suicide.
June is the month furnishing the largest
crop of self slayers. What is not surpris-
ing is to learn that the progress of suicide
keeps step by step witt that of civilization.
Tn struggle for existence in civilized life,
with its cares and worries and disappoint-
ments, and especially with its contrasts of
prosperity and adversely, drives more
human beings out of the world than will
ingly left it of old. The savage, who has
no tailors' bills, nor cares to think of the
morrow is in no hurry to quit existence.
He may have II homicidal tendency, but
the last throat he dreams of cutting is his
own. What is curious, we are told that
suicide is rare in mountainous districts.

Edward T. Babbage, otherwise known as
the "Phat Boy" lie was one of the fat
test Of the fat, almost las broad as he was
wide" aud his good humor, which was as
abundant as his flesh, gained him hosts OF
friends. When he was six years old he was
unusually large for his age; at fourteen he
weighed 200 pounds, and ut the time Of his
death, which occurred suddenly at the
Marsden House, Alexandria bay, the other
day, his weight was $40 pounds. He was
fifty years Of age.
The "Phat Boy" was a native Of New
York state, and had dabbled in many pur-
suits during his busy life. He received IA
common school education at Rochester,
and his first occupation, as he expressed il
at one time, was assistant at Il peanut
stand and head peanut butcher" Then he
wHs a hotel clerk; then he undertook the
management of Jack Hudson's museum.
Later on he took out a troop of glassblow-
ers and visited county fairs, after which he
appeared Mt the Boston Museum as a glass
blower. He was under engagement with
Barnum when the ~latter's museum wa
burned. In 1868 Babbage conducted a no
tel at La Crosse, Wis, and had his bills of
fare printed by Brick Pomeroy, who then
conducted "A printing establishment in that
city.

bage was sent out as advance agent. The
company proved n success and lasted for
three years.
Then Babbage engaged with Happy
Cal" Wagner. who bestowed upon him
the nickname which he ever afterward car
ried. Wagner sent II telegram to Babbage,
who was at his home in Rochester, and
not knowing his initials addressed ii
"Phat Boy Babbage," Mr.. Babbage after
ward represented in succession La Rue's
MINISTRIES, McEvoy's Hibernicou and Sam
Hngue's troop. 1t was his boast that
there was not II town of 5000 inhabitants
in the United States which he had not Wis
tied.
For the last eighteen years the "Phat
Boy" made the st. Lawrence river the
scene of his summer work. A large part
OF his time was spent on the steamers run
ming down that river. He would take his
place in the bow of the boat and entertain
the passengers with historic descriptions
of the scenery, imterspersing the narrative
with bright stories. The 'Phat Boy" and
his inimitable tales will be greatly missed
by the visitors to the Thousand islands.
Although IA cosmopolitan and friend OF
many convivial fellows, it was Babbage's
boast that he never touched a drop of
liquor in his life. He was IA member of the
Elks and Odd Fellows.
