TIE TALK OF THE DAY.

There has been a great increase OF consumption
and insanity among the Southern negroes since
they acquired their freedom. Dr. Thomas ]. Mays.
writing in THE Atlanta Constitution" ascrbes it.
to conditions dependent the cessation Of slavery,
and quotes figures and data in support of his con-
tention. The increase of these ills among the
blacks is. in the first place. due to the heavy
nOmic and industrial burdens which were suddenly
placed on their shoulders, and which they had
neither the wisdom nor the organized constitutional
strength to discharge and in the second place. to
improvidence Of living. to poor and improperly pre-
pared food, to ignorance of the laws of physiology,
to bad hygIenic surroundings to ovcrcrowding lazi
and irregular work. to improper care and
nursing when ILL., to lack OF sef-restTaint, alcohol
ism and dissipation of all sorts. The argument is
advanced that they were better off in slavery and
that consumption and kindred diseases then
far less destructive. In summing up the testimony
adduced by numerous authorities this subject. it
is said that 1.-The prevention Of pulmonary consump-
ton resolves itself into such efforts OF education
will impress the masses with the Importance OF
leading a life similar to that which made the slave
population of the South practically immune from
that disease before the Civil War"

European crowned heads IN their opening ad-
dresses to parlaments generally speak wisely
to the problems which confront the legisla-
tors. The King of Italy, for instance, expressed
himself with moderation and tact in his opening
address to the representatives of the country
In tho national body last week. Many thousand
Italians who have been in the United States long
enough to put aside sufficient money which
to spend a few months in Italy taking
passage abroad, intending to return here TO re-
sumo toll in the spring. They will have new
ideas TO communicate during the winter to their
relatives and friends

rarahIy thrifty peasants, but we have some
thing better. We can by inteIligence-with the
aid of machinery-bring cultivation to just as
high state on much broader fields. Some day
the Eastern farmers will realize the delusion OF
thinking that westward the course of agricult-
ural empire has taken its way, and will know
that in their own soil there is more wealth than
in the California gold mines. if they will develop
It with equal scientific enterprise.

1t is said that twenty thousand permits
year are granted to open streets. and that, once
opened, they are rarely closed properly. In
this statement is found sufficient explanation
of the condition of the streets of the metropolis
against which twenty thousand teamsters have
made protest, Why such condition of at
fairs is tolerated by the Bureau of Highways IS
one of the mysteries connected with the munich
pality of New-York
