I mean that the moment of dissolution approaches as unconscious ly as sleep soul leaves the world i as ic enters it, Whatever be the causes of death, whether by lingering malady or sudden violence, dissolution comes either through syn. cope or asphyxia. In the latter case, when resalting from disease, . the struggle is long protracted, and ac- companied by all the visible marks of agouy Wiich the imagination astoci- ates with the closing scenes of life— the pinchad aud pallid features, the cold, clummy skin, the uprurned eye, and the heavy, laborlous, rattling re spiration. Death does not strike all the organs of the body at the same time; some may he said to survive others, and the lungs are the last to glvo up the parformance of their func- tions,” “A vory large number of denths are attributed to old sge,” continued the physician, ‘‘yet fow, even of the old— est, dlo purely from «xhaustion or gradual decay; some poeitive disease, in most cases, overwhelms the small remains of vitalicy. Yet death from old age is not impossible, and must be the aweetest death of all—a sleep that wakes in eternity. In regard to long- evity, it is asserted that the United States 1s more favorable to long life than any other country. If I can not abide entirely by that opinion, Tcan at least sgree that this country has and can produce ten centenarians to one of any other land, and I think Washing- ton's body servants affirm my state- ment, The avernage of human life is thirty.three yesrs. Ono-quartcr die previous to the age ¢f nseven years; one half before reaching seventeen; so thote who paes their teous enjoy a felicity rofused 10 one half the human epecies. In every 1 000 persons only one reaches beyond the ninetler; in every 100 only six reach the age of eixty five, and not more than one in 600 ltves to eighty years. Of the up- wards of 1,000,000,000 inhabitants f the glube, one-third die every year, 91,824 every day, 3,730 every hour and sixty every minute, Married persons live longer than single; tall men longer than short cnes, and women have more chances of life in thelr favor, previous to being fifty years of age than men have, but fower afterward. Persons who are born in spring generally grow more robust than those who come into the world at other seasons, Deaths are more frequent by night than by day.” ‘‘Have the hours most fatal to life ever been ascertained?’ “Yeos, to a certaln extent. I have the date here of some very interesting conolusions ascertained in 2,880 in- stances of death at all ages, The ex- amples are taken from all conditions of life and during a period of eeveral years. If the deaths of the 2,880 had occarred Indifferently at any hour dur- ing the twenty-four hours, 120 would have ooccurred at each hour.' Bat this was by no means the case. There are two hours in which the proportion was remarkably below this—two minima, in fact—namely, from midnight to 1 o'clock, when the deaths were 83 per cent below the average, and from noon to 1 o'clock, when they were 20§ per cent below. KFcom 3 to 6 o'clock & m,, inclusive, and from 3 to 7 p. m., there is a gradoai in. crease In the former of 23} per cent ahove the average, in the latter of 64 per cent. The maxi- mum of dewth is from 5 to 6a w,, when it is 40 per cent above the aver- age; the next during the hour before midnight, when it is 26 per cent. in excess; a third hour is between ! and 10 o'clock in the morning, being 174 per cont, above. From 10 a. m. to 3 p. m, the deaths are less numerous, belng 164 per cent. below the aver- age, the hour betore noon being the most fatal. From 3to7 p. m, the deaths rise G4 per cent. above the av- erage, they tall from that hour to 11 p. m , averaging 6} per cent. belc the mean. Daring tne hours from ¢ to 11 o‘clock in the evening thera 1s a minimum of G} per cent. below the aversge. *‘Thus, the least mortality s dur- ing the midday hours, namely from 10 to 8 o'clock; the greatest during the early morning hours, from 3 to o'clock,” Urlau-Urlau, A quiet lll:d :nuhnl:fl:& but & very happy wedding tool Sun. day night on Dou.fu street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, The high con- tracting parties wero Mr. Frederick Urlau and Mrs, Catherine Urlau, the relic of his deceased brother. The ceremony was performed by Judee Beneke and was witnessed only by the immediate relatives and intimate friends of the parties. A royal sup- per followed the solemnization of the nuptials and champagne flowed like water, The happy couple have the best wishes of thelr friends and of Tun Bex, SOME MORE SLUGGERS. Visit the Oity to Instruct the People in the Manly Art, A Talk With Blliott, the Cham- pion Prizs Fighter, The prize fighters and wrestlers are having a season of money making which s unexampled in the annals of pugilism, Omsha has scen the world's cY¥ampion, Jem Mace, and his protege, Slade, and Paddy Ryan; and not to be behind the rest of the world in this respect the city haa sent out a con- testant for pugiiistic honors in the belky form cf ‘“‘Baby Barnes, the Ne- braska ziant.” This week we have James Elliott, the heavy weight cham. pion of America. Yesterday a Ber reporter met Mr. Elliott tegether with E. W, John- son, the champlon all round athlete of the world. Elliott is 36 years old and a finely bullt man. He stands about six feet high und welghs at this time about 185 pounds. His face is rather pleasant looking and his would be called a physiognomy rather above the average were it not for a scar on the left side of his face, reaching from the mouth along the cheek for an inch. His hair is black and cut short after the fashioo of men in his busi- ness. His eyes are black and pene- trating. The reporter asked him where he was born and he answered, {u Ireland, “I was born in Ireland 36 years 8g0,"” sald he, ‘‘and came to this coun. try with my parents when I was two years old. They settled in New York city, and we lived there in the old Bowery for a long time-"” TIa referring to his encountersin the arena Elliott seems rather modest. In answer to questions put by the reporter he said he had posted at this time a forfeit of §500in the hauds of Mike McDonald, the Chicago gam- bling king to fight Slade for $5,000 a side. This mouey has been up for three weeks and no auswer has been recelved from Mace or his man, Tne fight, if 1t occurs at all, will take place somewhere at a distance of 100 miles from Kaneas City. It will be remembered that R K. Fox brought ““Tug” Wilson over to this country from England to stand up against Sullivan, and in tha contest, which was fought for four rounds, Wilson succeeded in winning, not- withstanding the sledge - hammer blows which were sent into him by the former. At the conclusion of this bout Eliott put up $1,000 that he could koock Wilson out in four rounds. Fux covored the money, but before the contest came off Wilson went back to England and the forfelt of $1.000 was pald to Elliott. Last November, in a small-slove contest in & Chicago varlety theater, Elliott knocked James Dalton, a Jocal aport, cold in 47 seconds. Dalton remained senseless for thirty sec- onds, Allin all, Elllott scems to be a elugzer from Sluggeryilie, The reporter asked himif he wanted to fight tho Moriai, and be sald his mouey was up and he was not only prepared but anxlovs to meet him. Johnson, the athlete, is a fine spec- mon of physical manhood and is rather a geod looking man in the face. He carries an elegant gold medal, indicative of his champlonship of the world as a genera) athlete. WARD HONNER The Latter Diemiesed by the Police Juage. The Benner-Ward criminal case came up in the police court on Satur- day afternoon, and after a hearing was diemiscad. Mrs. Ward, the com plaining witnecs, entered the court room attired in sumbre hued raiment, and on belng called to the witness stand gave her evidence in answer to questions put by atiorneys, In relation to the intlmacy alleged by Bonner to have existed between them, the lady denied it. She was afraid of Bonner; he had so persistently fol. lowed her for a number of years, She brought the matter before the deacons of the church. Soveral letters couched 1n terms of tender affection, written by Bonner to Mrs. Ward, were lutroduced in evidence. Mrs, Ward denied ever having any affection for Bonner except in a cousinly and brother-in-lawly way Mr. Bonner gave a bond to keep the peace towards Mrs. Ward, on the 16th of December last, but the bond explred on the 26th inst. The judge chovght defendant was guiltless under the charge, hence his liberty. THE DEAD ALIVE. —_— Doctor Clemons Returns to Omaha in (Good Health, Dr. 0, L. Clemons, the veterinary surgeon, who has had such a time in the courts owing to the prosecution be- gun by his wife, Claire Clemons, has retarned to Omaha in good health and good spirite.

Third Visit of the Pigmy War- rior t0 Omaha, An Interesting Interview With the Noted Gentleman, ‘It is & very cold morning, sir, but Iam In excellent health. I am right glad to meet a representative of Tus Bxn.” The speaker was the diminutive geutleman whose real name is Charles Stratton, but who has been better known to the world for the past forty years by the pseudonym of Gen, Tom Thumb, and he extended this cordial greeting to a visitor from Tur Bes, who called on him at his room In the Paxton house yesterday mornirg The liliputian placed a chubby hand of infantile proporiions in the ex- tended paw of the caller, and, after a hearty shake, proceeded to do the agreeable, THE GENERAL AND HIS WIFE, The general has grown quite corpu- lent but is as chipper and spry as ever. His fat cheeks, double chin, and twinkling eves give his face an ex- pression of jollity and good humor, He wears a close-clipped moustache, and his hair, which is becoming a trifle thin about his temples, is slight- ly tinged with gray. He was attired in a loose smoking jacket, a seal ekin vest and broadeloth pantaloons, and oarrted himself wich the easy and en- gaging manners and thorough self- possession of the traveling man of the world, The conversation had but tairly opened when the general’s wife, nee Miss Lavinia Warren, came into the room, She {s the same “plump and pleasing little person” as of yore, and, though a few silver threads appear amouy her dark tresses, they are only in keeping with her matronly and dig- nified appearance. INTERESTING REMINISCENCES, “My career has been somewhat eventful,’" pleasantly said the general, “and I could entertain you for hours with interesting reminiscences. I was 46 yearsold on the 4th of January, and was ficst piaced on exhibition by Mr. Barnum when I was only b yeara old. At that’ time I was so small that Mr. Barnum could easily hold me in the palm of his hand. A style of overcoats corresponding with the ulsters ot the present day, and known as box-coals, were then in vogue. They had large side pockets with flaps over them, Mr. Barnum wore one of them in winter. I counld get in one of the pockets of it, and by doubling myeelf up the flap would fall over the mouth of the pocket, con- cealing me from view. It was a fa- vorite trick cf Mr. Barnum’s to piace me in the pocket of his box-coat and appear in the hall at about the time set for the opening of our entertain- ment. The people in the audience would come about him, exclaiming ‘Where is the general, Mr. Barnum} Here it is time for the exhibition to open, but he is not about.” Mr. Bar- num would appear to he greatly sar- prised, and would then call out: ‘Gen- eral Tom Thumb ! General, general! Where are you?’ I would then re- spon: ‘Herel am, sir,’ emerging from his pocker at the same time. It wana great act, I tell you, and used to take immensely.” The fat little fellow chuckled with glee over the recollection of this ruse of the great Ihowm‘nn. TOM THUMB'S TRAVELS, “You have been a greater traveler than Capt. Cook, general. Niw, who do you think was the greatest man you ever saw?’ *‘That is a hard quesilon to an- swer,” responded the eifin veteran. “I have scen 'em all you know—all the emperore, kings, princes, generals and statesmen, I have been petted by royalty in all parts of the world, and have had privileges which perhaps no other traveler from this country has enjoyed. While othera have been recelved in court, I have been accord- ed the favor of visiting kings and queens in a soclal way at their homes, just as I would visit you at your ouse, and have known them as they really are. I first went to Eogland in 1844, and was presented to Queen Victorla at the court of St. James. It was her majesty who bestowed the title of general apon me. I wasin- troduced as Tom Thumb, and the ueen addressed me as Gen. Tom 'hurab. The duke of Wellington and other noblemen who were present im- mediately accepted the cue, and I have been Gen. Tom Thumb ever stuce. I am what you might call a nobleman when in England, The soldiers al- ways salute me as they would any other cflicer. Whenever I go to the abodes of any of the royal famlly I am admitted without question, and the guards always salute me.” THE GENERAL AND THE IRON DUKE “In one of my entertainments before Queen Victorta I gave an impersona- tion of Navoleon Bonaparte posing in deep meditation. The duke of Wel- lington, who was present, stepped up to me and inquired: ‘What are you thinking about?” ‘About the loss of the battle of Waterloo," I retorted, and the queen and the entire court laughed heartily over the repartee.” ‘‘What sort of man was the Iron Dukei” “'Oh, he was rough aud gruff like all the big generals, you know, but was pleasant enough when you came to know him well,” “‘How did you find the queen to be in the Yowe circle?” ‘‘She was like any other pleasant and good woman, and liked to have all about her have a good time.” “I epent three years in Eorope dur- ing my first visit,” the general went on, “and was presented to all the ruling monarchs. Germany was not united then, but was divided Into states, each of which had its king, I was an especlal favorite of Louis Phil- lippe, the citizen king of France, who used to carry me about on his shoul- ders. He was once in this country, and taught echool in Massachusette, I remember I once asked the king what he thought of school-teaching. He replied that it was an honorable occupation, but not very profitable,” A TRIP AROUND THE WORLD, In 1869 Gen, and Mrs. Tom Thumb, Oommodcre Natt, aud Minnie Warren started on a three years' trip around the world, They traveled 53,000 miles, 31,000 cf which were by ses, and never met with an accident worth mentioning, or missed a date. The; first went to California and Britisl COolumbla, thence to Japan, China, Indis, Arabia, and thence to Anstralia. The general recounted many Interestirg reminiscences of their adventures in these far off lands, He gave a particularly interesting description of the way the little folks obtained entrance to the temple of the Sacred Tooth, in Ceylon, where the idol Buddha is enthroned. By per- sistence and perseverence they ob- tained a sight of the idol, which is adorned with jewels to the value of $3,000,000, a privilege never before accorded Christians, Many interestiug recollections were given the visttor of performances in theaters in Japan and China, and the quaint characteristics of the audiences. The general dwelt particularly upon the good behavior of the populace in Japan. The people all seemed to have heard of the little people—as though they were the heroes of an old story, and, though they would cowne runaing out of thelr houses in crowds, and manifested the utmost curioslty to see the midgets, they showed no disposi- tion to run over them in their anxiety, and a wave of the hand was suffisient to cause them to fall back *They were g0 different from the orowds in this country. Here the boys, and even men, crowd up to my cacriige and cry out, *Hello, Tom,’ “Tom, don’t you waut a drink? Jte terribly in- sulting and disagresable,” HIS TALKS WITH LINCOLN AND GRANT ‘I suppoee you have seen all the presidents of this country, general?” “Yes, [ have sesn about all of them., You doubtlees remember the story of my call on President Lincoln, He was holding a consultation with sev- eral generals when I was {introduced and placed on a table. Oane of the party said, sneeringly. ‘They call you general, do they? Mr. Lincoln at once struck in with the remark, ‘I wish some of my generals were as gocd a general as he 1s.” "’ “You have met Gen. Grant several times, have you not?’ ‘‘Yes. I firat met him aboard a train when he was going to take charge of the army In front of Richmond. He sen’t an aide-de-camp to invite me to come into his car. We had a very pleasant chat and exchanged cigare, I had a talk with his son KFred, and he told me his father showed him no fa- voritism, but made him face the shot and shell. I think the people of this country don’t give Gen. Grant credit erovgh for what he has doue. He ie a brave and honest man, and has done the country most valuable service, for which he cannot be too highly es- teemed or honored.” THE LITTLE GENERAL A BIG MASON, ‘““You have been entertained by potentates of all degrees, general; now what do you consider the highest ¢t honor ever bestowed on you?” “‘That would be hard to say, Ihave had so many honors and decorations of all sorts, Perhaps I am as proud of being a thirty-second degree mason as anything elso.” “‘Who is the m-st beautiful lady you have ever seer.? Mrs, Langtry?” “I have never seen Mrs, Langtry. The gnestion of beauty is hard to de- cide, and is a mere matter of opinion. What would please one person might not plessa another, you know.” THE GENERAL TEMPERATE IN ALL THINGS Here Tue Bek representative hai a brief talk with Mr. Bleeker, the gen tlemanly manager of the Tem Thumb, | — party for tho past twenty years. The manager was questioned as to the common ruwmor that the noted general is & high lver and a hard drivkor. “T havo been with him coustantly for over twenty years,” replicd Mr. Bleeker, ‘ and T have never s:en him intcxicated, and have yet to wmeot the man who will sy he ever took a drink with the general. He is temperate in all things, aud never eats more than two meals a day His only bad habit is smoking, which he has boen addict- ted to since he was 7 years old.” “Commodore Nutt likes his ‘tods’ pretty well, did he not?” “Yes,” said Mr. Bleeker, ‘“but he is dead, and we never speak of his faults now, although the general suf- fered some in reputation on account of them.” A VERY WEALTHY LILLIPUTIAN, ““The general is quite wealthy, is he not?” “‘He s, said to me: A great many people have ‘Why does the general travel any more. He has enough money, we should think? That's all right. A. T. Stewart had enough money, but he did not retire from business, There are many gray- haired merchants who are rich, and yet they remain i1 business. It has become second nature with the gen- eral to travel. Afcer a short time of rest at his home in Middleboro, driv- iog, yachting, and other pastimes fall upon him and he becomes restless and longs for the old llfe. Travel keeps him from becoming indolent and com- pels that regularity in all his habi which is neessary to peeserve his health,” ‘‘Have the general and his wife any children?” “‘They had one child, but it dled when it was but two years and a half old.” e ‘WouLn not be withoutRedding 's Russia Salve, is the verdict of all who use it.
