Whitley’s Administration --- Xts Results and Ditficultics. Col.

In 1865, Scc- retary McCulloch gppointed William P. Wood, who liad been Superiutendent of the old Capitol Prison in Washington, to be Cbief of the de- tective foree of the Treasury Depertment, under the direction of the Solleitor of the Treasury. The specific work assigned Wood and is sssist- ants was to datect- and procurc-the puntsh- ment of persons engaged In counterfeit- ing United States eccurities. Wood had already become somewhat fumilfar with the dutics, having acted under Assistant Scere- tary of War Dang, and in 1861 bad discovered and broken up s gangof counterfuiters who were doing considerable mischief by moking and dreulativg bogus notes. Mr. Wood ex- pended considerable time and diligence in col- lecting information reganding the operations then golng on fn varlous parts of the country, and found thirteen persons earning a liveliood by counterfeitiug fn New York, thirty-three in Peonsyivants, three fo Deluware, efght fn Ken- tucky, three in -Tenuesses, forty-one in Ghfo, thirty-one In [udiana, tio in Michigan, twenty- seven fn Ilinols, fity-two In Missouri, five ln lows,~in all two hundred and twenty-one.

Whitley, whose mme s still familiar In counection with the cx- posures of the safe-barglary uperation fn Wash- iugton, the Davenport investigation by Caul- ficla’s ' Committee. and the Bubeock complica- tioma. \Whitley devoted himsclf with intelll- wonce awd zeal to the brerking-up of counter- Jelting, whichi was coustantly increasing. His method, Yike Wood’s, Was to iuduce accomplices to turn State’s evidence, With the expectation of immunity. and he foum! convictions difficult, cven where " the testimony was perfectly clear, on account, of the suspicions which jurics enter. tafned toward the Government witnesses, and the rulings of Judges: while the Hight gentences fmposed did little rowanl etriking terror fnto the numerous cliques who were carrving on thetr dungerous trafile with coasiderable im- punity. ONE FAMOUS TRIAL which took place in Xew York something over azo 15 still well remembered, both i of the startling features which were tx progres, and the cundor with which Wiitlev ofterwards assailed the Court. On tlre night of Oet. 1871, Henry @. Qolo, wnder nvrort, for Counterfeiting] went tothe Lousc of Jashua D. Mtuer, belfeved to be a eouuterfeiter, and made an arraugement, in weordence with a phan formed by Whitley, to urchase of him 2 sct of counterfeit plates for J1,500. Three Seeret Rervice oflicers followed Cole, who emerged with Miner from Miner's hounse. Miner Teff Cole and walked avross the street to meet one Ballard, the printer_ and engraver of the notes; recelved the lates from Batlard amd carried them to Cole. Intheact of dellv- ering them and recetving the money, Miner was arrested, the thres officers lavtng witnessed the whole proceeding. Miner was an experienced counterfeiter, and had served » sentence in Olto. Whitley bad persanal knowledge of his s professional chamcter, and had recetved Miner's confesston more than a fi'fxr presiously. The defense set up the theor that it was 2 con £piracy by Cole amd the Govérnment_ oflicers to ruin an fanocent man,—and the Cuurt, Judge Benedfer, United States Cisendt, New York City, instructed the jury that the the testimony of detectives as a class was to be coutlonely scrn- tinized; that thetr business compelled them to 1ive a llfe of decit; that they were necessarily engaged in manufacturing theordes and invent- iny Iirpotheses; and that thelr evidence'on the stand was not entitled to the Bame weight ss that of other men not stmilarly engaged. Hovw- ever partlsan this view, and_however unjust to muny of the men thus engaged, it had u dectsive ufect upon the Jury, and Miner was wequitted, therecord of the trial showirg the most as- tounding perjury on one sld or the ofber. Whitley wrote # pemphlet rezanding the case, in which he punctured Judge Benedict’s judtcial pretenses, and demonstrated that the perjury ivas not.on the fide of the Government, €0 far 25 the officers were concerned, to whom 'all the parties implicated were strangers, and who were not, cutitled to any compensation or fees for ar- rest_or conviction aver and shove what they would receive i they foiled fn cither or hoth.

It is impossible to detect leading counterfelters without the uso, as an entering wedge, of men tar~ ‘nishied with the same crime in”a Jesser degree, a5 none others can £o fally have the confidence of the tcrimmal. 5 The criinal who has had a dozen 1legai transe actions with bis confederate enters upop the thir- tecuth with the same zood faith which chiamcter- ized the previons twefve, and finds himself witbin the meshes of the law through the defection of the parts with whom he has been deaiing. Is this a wrong done to the criminal orn right dome to so- ciely?

Judges aro too Jenfent with this class of offenders, even for the zood of those enguged in it. THE RIQOR OF WASHBURN'S GAMPATGNS has largely redueed the mumber of men formerly practicing this Kind of ocupation. By “the capture of the Driggs-Boyd gang, the lustucss was fatally wonnded inthe West and South. ‘Washburn captured from these five scts of platcs for Watfomal £5', two suts of E)alm for mm:ny, and ooe for the 100 greenback. W, P. Wood dlsposed of the most skillfnl engraver ever engaged tn counterfeiting, Charley Ulrich, who was sen- tenced to the Columbus Penitentinry in 1863 for fourteen years.

Washburn's office includes a phatogruphgdlicry coutaining W counterfeiters, smugglers, and other “ professfonals,” which occupy rooms 67, 69, and 71 of the Treasury building.

When he started hls great policy with 2 flourish of trumpets ta March, 167%,—ilftcen months ago,—there were some cvol heads in Ifs own party who weit not carried away by, the furor which his famous canal message ox cited. Knowing the man from long assoclu- tion, familiar with his plans, snd dlvining bis afns and Intents, they refused to Lelfeve that oné whose whole Iffe had been a record of UNSCRUPULOUS SELPISHNESS "AND CUNNING could suddenly, iu his old age, develop into an upsclfish patriot and an ardent lover of honest’ and pure Goveriiment. Ta men of this stamp, the Governor, hopeless of develving them as to bimsel, pletured the grand effects which he ex- pected to produce by his policy in dividing the Republicun party of the State. Some of these men have heen’ made to learn since to what uses the Governor could put his *Reform policy " for erushing his rivals or opponents in party. Tu this business, at least, he has anently successtul; and, so far as Gov. Tilden’s personal and political juterests are concel the State canals have been of more henelit to him_than they were to all the con- tractors who ever ot a dollar out of them. ‘No one would obfect to this, perhape, except the parties direetly Interested; but, when Mr. Til- dden asks the country to reward hfin with the Presidency of the United States for reformiug the canal system of New York, it becomes neees- sury to sce 1f the work done s WORTH TIE FRICE DEMANDED FOR IT. Bo it rememtrered, first, that fifteen months hawe clapsed slnce Gov. Tiiden gent to the Leg- tslature his canal-message; that_since then new Jerra! remedics have been enacted «t hls sugres- tion h{ two successtve Legiclatures; that o costly Investigating Commission lias been ere- ated, which really cuded its work Dy tue elec- tiun ‘of {ts primetpal metmbers to State offices; that some thirteen or fourteen “reports’” have Treen issued by this body; that there have heen three special messages sent {n about canalre- form, and a large amount of money appropri- ated Lo carry on the business, while the amount of tallcor “*Dlow” which has buen made about it {s practically unlimfted. In return for all this, wo have, a3 the actual and positive work dane in the proeccution of fraudulent canal- contractors, one eriminal suft against George D. Yord, of Rochester, and two civil sgits agatast the contracting firm of Denfson, Belden & Gale, of Syracuso. hese are the simple facts.

Tilden—went to St. Louls, not, curlously cnough, to oppose the nominalfon of that gentleman, but to fliout Tustily for it. The questions now. :m.-edun-a Why the sentence was postponed! What.ca! Mr. Laning to ;xgrpon lis worst encmy at the Convention? - And will George D.Lord ever re- celve tils sentence? Shrewd meon, who know afl the clrcumstances of the case, confess that, to the first and sccond of these questions, dwy cannot give an snswer; on the last, they venture the opffon that Lord, who belongs to a power- ful family, and wiclds an almost absolute influ- ence in Monroe County, will be kept DANGLING ON THE EDGE OF SUSPENSE until the next electfons are safely over and he can no longor 1o good or harm, and then be ro- manded to the tender mercies of the law. There fs the bare possibility of his escape; butit would De more consonent with Gov. Tilden's charatter to holil gut_un implicd promise of clemency until the critical thme Las passed, and then Ieave the man to hfs fate. 'It may not he for- gotten that, at the Iast fall clectfon, Monroe Connty was swung clear over from Gov. Tilden, and weut. seaiust Bs ticket by an enormous ma- jorlty. It 15 not his futention_to have this hap- en again, if be can help it. This is the present condition of the single oue of the Governor's three “canal-reforn ' suits which as been sue- cegsful. The two other suits brought arc, as already stated, oivil suits: mnd_one has been dismissed from Court by Judge Westhrook,—his decision being rendered about two weeks ago. It was, in fact, almost. bopeless, from the start, but there was MATERIAL FOI A SENSATION IN IT; and for this and other reason, to be spolien of hereafter, it was put forward over the sccond suft, which scems to have more promise of sue- The suit. wns ot brought by Gov. Tilden only renewed it, but \){i Attorney- Soneral arlow during his term of office some years ago. It prew out of the notorious Stanwix-Hall suction-aale of contrsets in 1560; and the de- fendants were Dentsou, Belden & Gale, of Syracuse, coutructors. Gen. Barlow prepared the case, brought it o trlal, cartied it through varlous stages on demurrer to- the - Court of Appeuls, and there, on law-points raised, the decision was .adverse 1o the State. After this, the suit was practically abandoned asunteaable, —this betug the_opinfon of Judge Danfel Pratt, who succceded Barlow. Wheu the canal-reform commenced, Gov. Tilden exhuwmed the papers from their 'Blnm of. tepose In the Attoruey- General's office, and again came into Court with them, only to have the case onve for all dis- ml‘sscd. S0 cuds the second of the three canal- suits. The third suit 1s agalnst Denlson & Belden, and {s fudeed the ONLY ACTUAL_PROSECUTION OF .CONTRACTORS Begun under the new laws passed at Gov..Til- den’s instance. It is thus a test case of the canal-reform policy, and was brought by Attor- ney-General Fafrchild. The decision of Judge Westbrook in the flrst case, however, Is con- &ldered to have almost decided the second, since the prineiples iovolved are nearly the same.- A little before the St. Louls Couven- tion, the Governor made scverat eflorta to pro- cure the indictment of the defendants on crim- {uel cha o connection with the case, but, .after fatling I the Conntles of E_vmcus%li!tim, 2nd Albany, he gave up the sftempt. The suit is brought {or the recovery of monceys sileged to have been fraudulently “obtafned on Denigon & Belden's contract; zud the case will be tried this month before a struck jury, unless it is | agatn postponal at the request of the prosecu- tion. 5 With this rectal, the work of canal-reform * n the prosecution of fraudulent contractors Is ended. There are, perbups, dozens of men against whom as good _cases could be made out as bave been against Lord, or Denison, Belden & Gale. If the pending suit against the latter has auy standing at all, thenthereare numerous other contractors who ought by this time to have been prosecuted, unless it be desired to draw out the work untll after November. It would be casy to do- this by begioning 2 new case agafust unother man aseoon s the last was disposed of; though why several could not bt brought an ouee, B PERUADS ONLY GOV. TILDEN CAN EXPLAIN. 1t may be—probably fs—only a_coincfdence; hut the fact Is Interesting, that the only men the Governor's reform-lightning has thus far atruck, were those whodistinguished themselvea by their strenuous opposition to bim when he was secking the nomipation for Governor in 1874, and who refused to contribute to the cam- puirh-fund after be was nominated. ‘There has beet'much ary and little wool in this canal-reform_business: Three sults cor menced; one criminal suit carried to & conv tion, and sentence postpoued ; one old civil suit, brought years ago by & former Attorney-Gen- eral, renewed now, and dismissed by the Court; ‘unother suft of a similar_character “against the same men, which hes been- frequently post- Dpoed, and now uwaits ral, represcats of canal-contractors by Gov. sumed the role of a cams only visible return he makes for THE EXPENDITURE OF SOME $100,000 Tilden since he as- former, and is the in expenses of his Canal Investigating ‘Commis- sion, and in hiring Inwyers to do the worl which Tiis own protegy, Attorney-General Fairchild, is case {n which this youngbzem.lcmun fifurcd wag the first trial of George D.

The only then le ployed for the flrst suit against the Syra- cuse contracting firm. Whether Mr. Fair- child will bave anything to do with the trial of the gceond, is mot kmown. In his last mnual messgze, the Governor asked for §30,000 spectal apmibriation Lo pay for hiriug legal assistance Jor the Altorney-General. The Legislature was nnwilling to give the Governor the oppurtunity o MAKE POLITICAL CAPITAL OUT OF A REFUSal, which it recsonably concluded he wou tainly have done; child cannot show to-day, 2l dase not insti- tute 2 comparison, thatlie lasGone as inuch work in the preparution and pi suits against cansi-coptracters o Jid Attorney- General Barlow, who had no extre zssistance and no appropriation, and asked for none. 1t was this incas In which the Governor asked for more money, more lawyers, more laws, more officers, and more everyihing, which sugirested Nast’s humorous cartoun, wherein Gov. Tiiden wus depletad oe coming before the frightencd cuardian of the State Treasury with iis mouth openlike o vast gulf, and erylvg for * more, niote,"—the “nore " belng required “to briag these sults uhrcel to értal.” It should, howerer, be stated thet the Commission saved the State 58,000 by stopping paymeut of two e tificates for that amouut. X “But Iook at the sigantic system ot fraud which has been broken up,” say the Governor's partisans, “the fraudulent coutracts stopped, the savinis ty the State which will by effected in the tutare.” There is something in this, but not 50 much as Mr. Tilden would have people bellove. The root of the abuses in canal- management was the system of extraordinary repairs; and A DEATH-BLOY WAS GIVEXN TO TILS by the Constitutiona] Amendinent adopted the year before Gov. Tilden cutne into oftice. As to the fraudulent contracts stopped, that partien- 1ar piece of reform scems to have been Knoclied to pleces. There was quite a list of these con- tracts published in the spring of lust year, and the announcement was mede that no further payments would be made uvon them. A month 0r 50 Bizo, one Jacob Schiaub, the holder of o contract which figured fu the Iist, presented his bill to the Senate for $9,000. Payment was re- fused. Schoub applicd to the Courts, presented his case, recovered §13,000,—cxXtra costs belng allowed by the Court,—und sued out a Jmandunus on the Canal Auditor to com- pelbim to pay the hill. The Auditor tele- graphed to Atiorncy-General Fairehild, who wWas discharging his duty to the Stafe at 3t Loufs, to know what to do. The Attornev- General replied that It was all rfight, and the contractor might be paid; which was done ac- cordingly. As the other holders of the pub- lished Mst of froudulent contracts are follow- ing the example of Schaud as fast as their mon- eygbemmm du, it does not scem that the prom- ises mude last year will be carred out. Of course, the management of the canals in the fu- ture may be honest. That depends, however, us in the o_the honcsti)‘ of the oflicials who have charge of them. It fs perfectly well known In this city that the qualification demand- ed of the candidates, when the coraplete list of new apl)olutmunts was made out last winter, was tha THEY SHOULD BE GOOD “ TILDEN NEN.” Some were found, aiter their appofutmeat, to e doubtful on the main question. They ‘Wwere speediry removed, and athers appolnted. ™ *Til- denman ™ in Albany Is another word for hon- esty and roform. Only sush men are allowed to fioldl offlce under the present Administration. Can any one point te a ‘slugle appointment made by the Governor toany office in this State, where thre appointee was not o friend and parti- san of his? For convenfence of referencd, it mav be wel) to furnish herc 2 brief recapitulation of the visfble work of canal-reforni, so that when “these suits,” the ‘ canal-sutts,” the ‘ prosecu- tlon of fruudulent contractors,’ and “stoppage of frandulent contracts,” are talked of, it may be remembered exactly what it all amounts to.

The property that was his became hers. Her influential friends were at’ work, she said, and he would be released very soon. One day her usunl visit was not mnde. Another day passed, and another, nnd she did not conse. A week passed, and the lonely prisoner then Jearncd that he had been decefved. Ilis beauti- ful intepded bride had turncd his property Into cash and eloped with aman whom he had al- ways regarded usa friend. A year afterward his prison doors opened, and he walked forth totreodom. A few brief inguiries satisfied him that the woman and her accomplice Tnd made their wny across the ocean. He determined to follow them, nnd came to New York. It was months Lefore he got any trace of them. Ie then learned that they had gone westward, and he went_to St. Louls in pursuit.- They had gone to New Orleans; he followed them. For over a year he continued the chase, visiting in turn almost every city in the United States, but never overtaking them. At last he returned to New York, and in less than a_weck he met them face to face in Broadway. He upbraided the woman and fiercely threatened the man.

New Yonk, July +—When a fashionable folly seizes the public fancy it is apt to become universal very rapidly, and no sooner is this end uchieved than its promoters drop the fashion In ategust, and lend their sonction and iniluence to something clse. Thus cream-color, once 5o un- milstakably * the rage,” has lately had the mor- tification of scelng le bonton give it the cold shoulder. It is no longer elezant as the chief fugredient of a toilet. In gloves, trimmings, and in soft silks and feathers it s still used. A very handsome toilette Into which it cnters is of topaz-colored silk. The skirt is demi-train, and has a kilt flounce a foot deep, pleated In clusters . of five. It iscorded at the edge with a heavy cording of cream sill;, and s attached to the skirt by the same. The overskirt is long sad straight, and fs cut fn sharp pofnts about wfin- ger long, under which is a line plisse of cream silk. The basquc has two loug cads in frout, irfmuned in the sane manner, while at - the hack Is a square tab stnilarly finfshed. The side pock- et s of alternate pleating of eream-colored silk und the topaz-brown. Old-fushioned lawns are agaln very popular. Sowme new varieties have alternate stripes of solid Inwn and Jace, while in another style puffs replace the openwork. The latter in ecru 1s very pretty. NEW IMPORTATIONS FROM WORTH in grenadines are chiely made of brocaded and floriated patterns, A charming dress of this sort has just arrived for a New York ludy. The rrenadine is fine Dlack-silk net with an elaborate gmcndu in satin and velvet. Each scam has o thick cording of deep cardinal red, and the ef- fect Is vory “clogant. Bows of this color are seen whercver practicable. - Among other pretty trimmings we see revived thie double ribbons, deep blue and cardinal, rose and {vy-white, pale_blue and cream, amd very often iwo shades of the same color. This rib- bon is very pretty, made into numberless bows for lawn, jicreale, cambric, and grenadine dresses. No lady's summner wardrobe is complete with- out one or two dressy wruppers.. A ver handsome one shown me yesterday Is of soft fvory-white cashmere, braided ina very claborate pattern with narrow peach-colored chenille. Another for the same lady is of pale: blue foulard faced with delieate buff or rather ecru silk, which is richly embroidered with blue floss. Both of these morning rohes are very elegant. The handsomest ceru dresses that I bave seen are of Chincse sifle fn fts natural color. They are usually trimmed with black velvet ribbon, Uands and Dows, und the new lace, known as toint Frangals is also much used. These silks ~wash like Jinen, and hence the point Franends, which washes tov, is considered very desirable. In a previous letter, I mentioned several varie- ties in fonlards. Sumewhat of the sume nature as foulard, but far handeomer, are some soft, silky fabrics, known as Louls XVI. materfals. They have lizht leaves on dark grounds, and Yice versa; silver leaves on gray, bronze on a cream ground, and so on indcfinitely. Some of these muterfals come_in solid colors, dack blue and eeru. - A pretty; bub rather showy dress of the former {5 ornamented with countless bows of dark cardinal ribbon.

Ths most popular varicty has a delicate pattern of blue and white check, with an occasional pink thread. The skirt has two pleated flonnees headed with bias bands. The tunie, which is plafn, has a bias band with Ham- burg embroidery a finger_decp. A long, cling- iu% French basque and lavse sleeves are simi- larly trimmed. ~ A profusion of ULlack velvet bows impart a graceful finish to the dress. A very hundsome ball costume for the open- ing “hop™ Newport {s of rich white faille claborately trimmed with ruches of white tulle 2tudded with tufts of cherrfes. Some very ele- Fmt foll-dress toilettes which have just been m?)oncd to order arc combinations ‘of rather pale colors, pink and mafze, delicate straw, and gea-green, Sowe handsome overdresses are Xnown as the “ Revolution.”” The style is pecu- liar; the walst is long, tle slecves arc narrow, there is & turned-down collar, there are pockets in frout aund a tail at the back, and over this is tied an immensely brond sash, which in front is Iafd in flat pleats. Somctimes thie “coat” is made with a vest, which is of somc sombre shade and richly embrofdered In vivid colors, The sash is then of some bright color which Dest harmoniees or contrasts with the principal color in the embroidery. THE HAT intended to be worn with this garment has the brim upturned on one side, aud here a long black feather is fastened with 2 spray of white Tilac. The hat fsgenerally of black straw., Nets for the hair are once again fashionable. They are made of silk braid, coarscly woven, aud matching the toilette in volor, and at the top s, a bow of ribbon. Artificial flowers are' much used in coiffures: the favorite tints in them are cream, French blue, and rose. Pretty little de- vies in flowers are a prominent feature of hats aud bonnets, A heautiful novelty in this line §s_a srreath of green and dark-brown, seamed with tufts of barberries. Other favorite clus- ters consist of_eorn-flowers and daisics, and the latter mingied with oats, or bunches of clove- piuks and dark blacbells. A handsome carrlage or visiting toilette Is of H%ht maroon velvet, profusely ornamented with stlle-fringe, which has a gold-embrofdered head- ing. The train is very long, and is trimmed with fringe tassels, embrofdery, and black lace. The polomise is Princess “shape, buttoned up the back with gold ‘huttone. The bounet is of cream luce and maroonv elvet. Another varicty of elaborate tofllete de visite Is a produc- tion of hame art. The dress has a cuirass bod- Jce of gray satin richly wrought with steel em- roidery; the skirt. is a combination of light blue silk and grav satin, claborately embroidered with steel.” The honnet s 6f gray velvet, with Dlue and gray phunes. SOME OF TIIE LATEST STYLES IN MILLINERY are very peenliar and not at all gruceful. The hats that. l(lrh{un high on the left side and are fustened with i feather anil roses, ave worn on the side of the head in a munner that must ap- car to many people the height of vulmrity. Coarse. straw bonncts with “flat crowns and trimmed with daisfesand dried grass enjoy much favor. A pretty Jittle hat of white straw Is the Tondon, s much worn by younyr irls. The brim is hound with gray velvet, and this material mingled with Tibbou cocircles the crown and at the back forms loops and cnds. A cluster of pink roscs and o gray plume orm- wment the side. The shape ‘of the Londun ts somewhat stmilar to » turban; a round, Jow crown and the brim turnedup all around, but uot quite close to the crow he line of wraps th s an almost Infinite variety. Many Jittle light mantclets are very ecoming. They ase of * cashmere or silicicnne, and are not lined. At the back they are round like a cape, and in front have pointed shawl- ends, which are tied ou the bosom or Ivft Ioose. They are trimmed with fringe or lace and ave fastencd to the waist at the hack. A wrap called the visite is o revival of the searf mantle worn years aggo, which_grows in_populurity as the heat increases. Theback is straight and the long mantle front hus elbow sleeves et in. It is made of silk,Indinn cashmere: or eiliclenne, andis trimmed with bands of sillc or rows of pleated lace, : For evening wear, some pretty novelties of light woolen gauze are shown. Thiey come in all the fashionable colors and are trimmed with waolen Jace. Many of them an: gems of heauty on acconnt of therich embroidery wrought on them, und are conscquently very costly.

Comparatlve Daratlon in Various Occupa tlons. . London Indez. : In the sup{;lcmcuh to the thirty-fifth annual report of the Registrar-Gener: Bi Death, and Marriages, just published, an inter csxin% chapter is_devoied .to the comparative duratlon of the life of persons enzaged inve . rious occupations, showing the effect of the dif- ferent trades on the health of the population. We think the subject one of such general in- terest that it will be worth while to reprodace a portion of his remarks: Butchers—The nverage mortality among persons éngaged in this business is very hich. Flshmon- experience full as ligh a mortality as butchers. Publicans—The humorous, useful, * - gnd, as a body, respectable men who supply the community with drinks, food, and .entertain- ment in inns, are sure to suffer more from fatal disease than the members of almost any other known class. They might themselves institate a strict fuquity into its causes. But there can be little doubt that the deaths will be found to be due to delirium tremens and the many dis- eases {nduced or agzravated by excesstve drinke ing. It secms to be well established that drink- ingr small doses of aleoholic Hquors—not only epirits, the most fatal of all the poisons, but wine and beer—at frequent intervals, with- - out food, is invariably prejudicial. this is curied on from morning till late hours In the night, fow stomachs, few brains, can stand it. Tne habit of indulgence is a slow suicide. The many deaths of publicans ancnr to Fmvt: this. Oth- cr trades indulge fn the publicans® practice to some extent, and to that extent share the same fate. The dangerous trades are made doubly dangerous_by.excesses. The clerey of the Es tablished Church, Protestant ministers, Catho- lic priests, and barristers, all experience low rates of munnllt%' from nges 2510 35. Thecler- lcad s _comfortable, temperate, domestie, F moral Jife, in healthy parsonnges, and thelrlives are good In the insurance scase. The young curate, compared with the yonng doctor, hus less cares. Tbe mortalitv of Catholic priests after the age of 65is Iigh; perbaps the effects % curlill»imy are then fflt.“ So{citor§ experience e full avernge mortality after the ngo of 35; the legal work s hard. Physiciansand surgeons, from ~youth up to the age of 45, expe- ricnce & mortality muck above the average: af- ter that age they differ little from the average. They are in contact with the sick, are exposed to zymotic discase, and their rest is disturbed. In states of depressfon deadly poisons are at hand. There i3 an excess of practitioners in citics. Country practitioners bhave to visit their patfents in all weathers, at all hoars.. The . causes from which medical men suffer de- moud carcfal study. Chemists and drizgists are younger than medical men, becanso pharmacy is a separate business and is of more recent growth. Thefr mortality, . like that of medical men, ie high and ahave the average, especially in the younger ages. Comunercial clerks experience an exce) tionally high rate of wortality. The rooms which they work are generally close and ill- ventilated. They often stoop at thelr desks. .They required Sir John Lubbock’s holidays. Rallway scrvants—The raflway serviee, teken collectively, experience n hight rate of mortal- ! ity, somewhat higher than medical men at ad- | vanced ages. Veterinary surgeons and farriers of the age of 25 and upiwards experfence a very high rate of maortality, higher than physiciws and .surgeons. Carpebrers. ete.—Wheel | wrights, working chiclly in wopd and scat- | ter¢d all-over.tho Kingdom, are healthy; thetr mortality is low at all ages. To carpenters,, '; Jjoiners, sawyers, and workers inwood gener- ally, the smne observation may be extended; thelr mortallty fs low, thefr occupation fs healthy. Factory Hands—The waol, silk, oot * ton manufacturing populztion no longer exg eri- ence en cxucxzi(mallr high mortality. Eord Shafesbury and his enlightened colleagues must be aratified, if not_entirely satisfied, with the success that has crowned their Jifelong labors- And it is creditable to the mill-owners to find the men ond boys in thelr em- F]oy suffering less than many peo) n " towns. The people working in wodl are the healthicsts at all the_young ages thelr wortallty is the lowest; at 45 and upwords the cotton-workers suffer much mors than the work- crs in wool and silk. Drmpers—The mercers and drapers are not so Yealthy a class 53 could be desfred, thefr mortality is abave the averaye; espectally is this the case frumn 25 to 45. Pef- haps much of thelr indoor werls s bétter suited fo women then to young men. Barbers—The hainlressers, harbers, and wig-mokers, the English Figaros, Hiving chicfly in_citics, expe; rlence, according to theee returns, high rates of mortality ot all'ages: and so do hatters. Shoc- makers at all ages, except from 20 to 25and 8 advanced ages; experience a rate of mortality below the average. Tailors, on the contraryy die at rates muclrabove the average. For thel hiealth, and for shoernakers, both classes, count: ing more than 300,000 men, much remains to b done. Bukers experience @ mortality very littld above the ayeraze, and that is fly at sd- vonced ages. Grofrs, at all ages after 55, €% [fiflcnw a low rate of mortality. Tobaceonists— e tobacconiets, soui and’ tohacco manufac turers, suier verv much at all the youngé! ages, indicating clearly enough how prejudicis et ) smoking Is to young men. ———— HOLY PLACES, The holy Xanac on the ground one day. ! ey 4th bl fect toward Mecea, 17, A pax aslem pricst, offended, savr, N i\‘xxgl §|m {;x 3 ru;lt e l‘mn'ix! of his Jaw, g1 Exclafmed: *Base infidel, thy prayers repeat! : Tum:l;g zgl:lh‘u house how &1’:"51. iylum turn X s , Before the Mostem's shallow necents dicd, ‘The pioua but lndignant Nanac cried: >And tarn then, if thou can'st, toward apy 703 Wherein theawful house of God is not! s —&eam the dvalie. .
