Prof. Oettingers Moral Statistics
Murder, geographically considered, is
the product of lack of civilization. When
ever a state of government Is In a state of
disorgauization the people become demon
allied, educational and religious progress
is at q stand-still, and murder is bound to
increase. 1t is essential to lay great stress
on the religious feeling of q community,
because comparatively few murders occur
In Turkey, a country deranged and unset
tied in its affairs, wherein large rropor-
ton of the psople are lacking In oiviliza-
ton and culture But the Islam faith lie
productive of q certain religious sentiment
In these uneducAted masses which pre-
vents murder, the greatest crime against
human and divine laws. Compared with
Turkey, Greece, onoe the seat Of clvilIza-
ton, but now demoralizsd and degraded
by Turkish influences, without the pro-
hibitive power of the Aohammedan reli-
gion, manifests the truth of this assertion
by rolling up, in population of less than
two million people, three hundred and six
teen murders and four hundred and seven
ty- y-three fslonious assaults, an average of
one killed o. MANNED for every twenty
eight hundred souls This number over
shadows dsmorslizsd Ireland, where for
number of years the most terrible sgrs-
risn crimes, murder, arson, etc, have
been committed, the outcome of the afro
oious feeling between land owners aud the
peasantry-
Another country with large percentage
is Spain, and an increase in bloodshed
goes hand In hand with Its gradual de-
ola - he a asa
of the United States demonstrates that
murder reaches Its highest percentage
among the uneducated class, who can
neither write nor read. In the state of
Texss, for example, one murder occurs to
every eighty fTe hundred inhabitants. In
Illinois this percentage is considerably
lowered, one murder being quoted for eve
~ fifty thousand. Germany Of late years
shows an increase of murder cases and as
saults, born out of Socialistic tendencies.
The murder percentage of Great Britain is
comparatively email, with the exception of
London and ireland, and personal safety
In England aud Scotland ls commended on
all sides. Even few thefts are committed
In the level portions France, Sweden,
Denmark, Belgium, Holland and Swiizsr
land record murder statistics similar 20
those of Germany. No substantial data
can be obtained about Russia, but the
striking increase In political murders, Gig
nalized by the Nihilistic and SociAlisiic
era, needs no comment. No state In the
world rolls up more revolutionary attacks
and crimes at the present time than Rus
sia. During the year 1SS6-S7, the last au-
thentic report that could be obtained,
three thousand persons were deported to
Siberia for life.

GONE-UP.
Poor old New York and New Englsndl
Gone at last And the mourners 60 about
Wall street, New York, State street, Bos-
ton, and, We fear, one or two streets In
New Haven, Hartford and other Conneoti-
cut villages. That which is now q corpse
has had 'lingering consumption" so long,
and has seemed to defy the natural order
of things SO successfully, that the an
nouncement of the end comes as quite q
shock.
Like all lingering consumptives, New
York and New England has had q most
variable and dsositful pathway to the
grave. 1t has had its days of hope, and
some of them have been SO hopeful that
even some of the skillful doctors of finance
have been fooled. In those days
its cheek has been rosy and its
wind strong. 1t has not only been able to
sit up but 1t has been able to jump up
and run races with other more or less
consumptive invalids of the stock ex.
changes. At such times none but those
who knew how deep seated its disease was
could realizs the sad certainty of the fate
which has overtaken 1t. But the real and
permanent character of its disease has re-
asserted itself after each one of the periods
of glow and of hope, and there has at times
been such depression and wasting away
that It has often seemed that the struggle
must end. 1t has ended at last, and 1t can
now plainly be seen that the appearances
which have occasionally impressed the
optimists have been dsceitful.
The friends OF the deceased have moth
ing to blame themselves for. They have
been faithful and kind, aud there has been
a new set ready whenever one set has be-
come tired out with watching and weep
ing. The best doctors obtainable have
been employed and anxiety for the patient
has even led to the employment of some
famous quaoks. But neither science nor
quackery has been able to avert the fatal
day. The funeral will be largely attended,
and there are many who will have 9
melancholy interest in svailing themselves
of 'ths opportunity to look at the re-
MAINS" And as they look they will
mournfully wish that the deceased had
not been 80 dear to them and that the
funeral was none of theirs. But their
grief may be made more tolerable by the
rejection that many others are called on
nowadays to attend similar funerals, and
that they are simply sharers In pretty
common lot. This has been q very fatal
year for such "lingering consumptives.

heard last summer 9 true story which
seemed to me worthy the ear of ST. Mich.

group of young folks on hotel piazza j

story better than the historian.
Several years ago this gentleman was
living in the German capital with his fam
lily. There were many new sights and
sounds to interest the American family.
but nothing more fascinating than .hs col
ony of white storks which settled on the
adjacent houss tops aud made a bird vii
lsse of the nestled chimney-stAcks.
The birds had such su air of proprietor
ship aud general coseyness that some
member of the family insisted that that
particular part of the city was the regular
summer home of these tourists, who re.
turned to their old quarters each season,
in human fashion. This idea was not SC
cepted as fact, and there were many spec
ulations 81 TO some possible means of test-
ing the theory. Not being up In the stork
language, no one could ask questions and
get answers, neither could any mortal re-
member the fine points Of stork physiog-
nomy from year TO year.
A plan was finally decided upon, and
one particularly aristocratic monarch Of
sll-I-survey looking bird was enticsd by q
good dinner into the garden. There q all
yer ring was placed about his leg, on
which was engraved "Berlin, 1885" BE

and ere long he Joined the passing hoeks
that were constantly leaving for the south.
Many q thought followed the feathered fu.
gitive during the long winter, and st the
irst sign Of spring eager eyes watched for
the return IF the travellers. After many
days distant line of siorks, far up In the
blue, came into view. OSer the clergy

from the sky caravan and hovered around
the dwelling. A tempting feast wac pre-
pared, and presently the weary pilgrims
few down into the yard Friendly eyes
watched every movement with Joyous wei
come. Imagine the surprise when one of
the flock was seen to have two silver rings
upon its legs!
Behold the old ring was back again,
and accompanying it another, which read:
