scarci,y orTiger, India,

The Bombay Gazette attributes Sir Sam uel Bakers having bagged only six tigers during the expedition in the central pro- vinces to the growing scarcity of tigers. The fact is, it alleges, tigers are dying out. In the islands of the Brahmaputra some few years ago, there were so many of them that they constituted the chief population, and scarcely tolerated a yillager among them. But the improvement of the navi- gation and the appearance of steamers on the river, and the fertility of the islands, worked woe to the tigers. So many were shot that Sir Rivers Thompson grew alarmed at the outgoings for rewards, and reduced the head money from fifty rupees to twenty-five The lowering of the reward in no degree checked the destruction of the tigers; indeed it rather worked the other way. The villagers combined and engaged professional tiger slayers: and now on the islands where once the Bengal tiger was supreme he scarcely ever pre- sents himself to be shot or trapped

PHINEAS TAYLOR BARNUm.

Phineas Taylor Barnum's long and eventful life came to an end yesterday. He got himself named the Prince of Show men, and he was that, and much more. The story of his career is decidedly inter- esting and unique. He started in life as a Connecticut Yankee, and he retained many of the more solid and useful char acteristics of the tribe, although world wide travel and experience long ago made and lost several fortunes and died the possessor of big one. He stood before kings and queens and also be- fore more common people than any man of hls time. He gained a reputation as humbug, and he traded on that reputation when it suited him and made much money out of it. But the main part of his life as a snowman has been free from humbug. For many years he has taken pride in giving his patrons more for their money than any snowman ever gave them, and lately the complaint has been that there was more than could well be seen.
 MT. Barnum had masterly qualities that would have made him conspicuous in any line of effort which he might have chosen. He made his show the ''greatest on earth" because he had a great mind with which to plan and execute. He was bold to audacity, prompt l in action, far-sighted and sound in judg- | ment. He knew how to use the tools with which he worked. For instance, no man | ever lived who knew the value of printers | ink better than he, or how to use it bet ter. He was keen judge of men and called l those to his aid who could help him carry out his vast schemes. He was not cast down by misfortune, of which he had his full share. He had good nature and he believed everybody would be saved. He was benevolent in large way and benef cent in large way. As he grew older he laid more and more stress on the morality of his show, and his own kindly and cheerful morality grew more and more impressive. He lived life of indus
 try, temperance and good will, and was { fine old man, altho ugh he did not look ol
 feel very old He loved children and il
 was his delight to please tn em when they
 saw his parades and enter tainments. H'
 was good neighbor and a true friend
 Bridgeport never had such public-spirit
 ed citizen or one wh did anywhere neai

 She will miss him in many ways. I'm
 hosts of friends whom he has made ant
 kept in various parts of the world vii
 long mourn him, and the millions wh'
 have looked upon him in his character as

 handsome and kindly old man who uset
 to ride around "the ring" in a splendid
 coach, smiling and lowing to his specia
 friends, the children.

A JEFFERNONIAN EXAMPLE,.

A J HF n HnSON1AN EAAMFLE.
 New Haven is noted for its elms and its catarrh. Those who have been trying to deal with the latter will be interested in what Dr. Bosworth of New York city has to say about the mean disease. He con- tends that the habit of "taking cold" by persons suffering from catarrh cannot be broken by local treatment, but that much may be accomplished by the use of proper clothing and the bath. In the matter of clothing he insists that the first rule should be that patients suffering from catarrhal diseases should use woolen un- derwear, selected with reference to the functions of the skin, and therefore 'porous, permeable and such as shall ad- init of the freest circulation of the air" Elasticity and porosity are, in this view, indispensable qualities of the fabric, and hence heavy flannel underwear, is to be avoided.
 Tn the use of the cold bath Dr. Bosworth finds an invaluable remedy for the hygie- nic treatment of catarrhal patients. He shows that the best method of taking the cold bath is as the tub or plunge, and if this cannot be endured daily, cold spong- ing should be resorted to.
 It is asserted that that staunch old Dem ocrat, Thomas Jefferson, was almost cured of catarrh by the use of the cold bath. His experience and example ought to have a good deal of weight in the Democratic city of New Haven

How to Stop Wickedness.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Your paper of April contained an arti- cle by one Towne, which is a disgrace to your press. read it half through, and then, filled with disgust and indignation, flung the paper into the fire. I felt as if the bristles stood straight up the whole length of my back.
 Filled with painful apprehension by knowledge of the terrible dangers to which the people of New Haven are helplessly exposed, our board of health has besought the common council to give them more power and more money to fight the deadly bacteria. Moreover, our board of health is horror-stricken by the fact that nine tenths of the physicians of New Haven are utterly incompetent to destroy the disease creating germs which Turk at every thresh- hold.
 Instead Of trying to aid the benevolent labors of scientific gentlemen, here comes Towne insinuating that our board of health is talking about things of which it is pro- foundly ignorant!!! There is only one correct way to act in this matter. Mr. Towne and his sympathizers must be treat cd as IT they were DactSIld- Illust pc given antiseptics. The ordinance relating to contagious diseases should be amended by section like this:
 "No one shall publish anything concern ing the public health without first submit ting the article to the board of health and receiving permit therefrom authorizing its publication. The penalty for viola tion of this section shall be three months imprisonment"
 A year ago my convictions prompted me to say that everything whatsoever re, lating to the prevention and treatment oi disease should be placed under the full control of the board of health. My views were received at first with distrust, but the public are steadily approaching thu | correct belief, to wit The best results ir matters pertaining to health las in al other things) can only be obtained by giv | ing absolute power to men with scientific | training, big heads and sound judgment | Let us put down the old fossils. Let us stand by the play inscribed, ''Aore Power an' More Money"

 The boycott has received another set back in Pittsburg, where the courts have ruled that the judgment of $24, ,000 against certain Knights of Labor shall be executed without further delay. This is the con- clusion of suit for damages brought in 1888 by Brace Bros, laundry proprietors, who business suffered severely from the boycott prosecuted by the labor leaders on account of the employment of non union men by this firm.
 The Epoch, of New York, comes for ward and agrees to give s1,0o0 to the teachers mutual benefit fund if all the members of the New York school board will, at their next regular meeting, vote to permit the Epoch to select six of their number and subject them to an examina- ton in grammar, spelling, arithmetic and such other studies as are taught in the primary and grammar schools of that city, the result to be published exclusively in the Epoch.

 It appears that members of the Farmers alliance may not be better than other people. The alliance secured control of both branches of the Nebraska legislature last November, and their constituents ex- pected to see the promised era of Ere form" in the Capitol. The session closed on Saturday, and a despatch from Lin- coin says: The closing scenes of the legislature were disgraceful beyond de, scription. The session wound up in a drunken orgy, lasting until daylight. Case after case of wine was taken into the house, and large quantities of whiskey and other liquors were consumed. The last official act of the legislature was to pass a resolution declaring that Nebraska is eager to go to war with Italy, and that the United States ought to prevent Italian i'm migration.
