The soldiers of the National Drill have folded their tents and marched away to the strains of their own thrill4. ing music, and in consequence, the {Capital City is not so gay as last week, and many of-our bonny belles, with jm lovelorn sighs and ‘misty eyes, pine “over the lost hopes and opportunities ™ for conquest of those few fleeting days, . while numbers of the visiting troops have been totally vanquished by the ‘ charnis of the fair ones. Except in a ) financial sense, the Drill was quite successful. The deficit is from $10,000 “to $12,000. The managers counted on m ‘average attendance of 10,000, though it was 6,000 or less. Some. pur“pose to make the drill permanent by f having one every year,and it is hoped the project will materialize. If there _ be another, we trust the Confederate § Democratic South will send liberal, progressive men here instead of the narrow-minded, provincial numskulls who considered themselves such superior beings that they-felt it pollution to march in the same military proces“gion with the hated though harmless “‘nigger’’, and therefore dropped out of line. Able financiers, with, good reason, predict a financial crisis when the _ movement of the present crops begin, “based upon the fact that within the past year the New York banks have increased their rate of interest-from 2 percent to 5 per:cent, while their reserve surplus has very largely decreas‘ed, and also, upor the further facts, that the immense surplus in the _ Federal treasury continues to rapidly accumulate, without any relief from the burdensome taxes exacted from * the people. Thus, at the end of two years, we are sensibly feeling the benefits to business and public policy of.a reform (?) Democratic Adminiatration. Really, Uncle Sam isso seriously ill from his nauseous dose’ of Democracy thatit is highly probable . an extra session of Congress will have . to be called early next fall to adminis» ter an antidote. 5 The recent death of Maj. Ben Perley Poore, the pioneer Washington ~ newspaper correspondent, removed a familiar and prominent figure from the Capital. For forty-five years he has been intimately associated with the great statesmen of the country, from Clay and Calhoun to Blaine and) Lamar—he haying been for twentytwo years clerk of the Senate Printing Committee, years after he became a leading journalist. Decoration Day was observed with unusual eclat,—the soldiers of .the National Drill acting as escort to -the Grand Army of the Republic. For the first time, thé grave of that gallant hero and patriot, John A. Loyan—he who instituted this glorious day—was buried by loving hands in a mass of ‘beautiful. flowers, only five months after he had surrendered his “noble soul. There is still much speculation as to who will fill the vacancy on. the Supreme Bench. The place is by common congent. conceded to the South. There ig but one certainty about it. Garland, _ the Cabinet member, who long since was promised the first vacancy, will not get it, since his corrupt connection with the Pan Electric Telephone Company has been disclosed, for he now says he will not have it, which means he cannot get it, as the President,with * ll his bull-dog courage, could noteafford torun the risk of wrecking his Administration by decking the. Supreme Court with such a malodorous Garland. .

Searls givea the following satisfactory “The case involving the validity of tie claims against the State under the Drainage Act came before me,when I ‘was one.of the Commissioners of the “Supreme Court.

The question whether.or not cancer is curable by operation is one of vital: importance to those who may have the disIt is poptilarly supposed, to be incurable, but statistics prove that it is not In. estimating the value of operations for cancer we must consider the duration of the disease when left to itself. in 139 cases, gives the duration of life in 75 not operated upon as 48 months, while in the remaining 64, where one or more operations had been performed, the life average was 52 months. cases, makes the average 82 months in. . \. eases not operated upon, and 52 months t 8 in.cases where ,excision was practiced. The longest duration of life in cases not operated upon is 12 years, im those operated upon 18 years. While these statistics go to prove that operation prolongs life, they do not prove an ultimate cure. Dr. Oldekop shows in his report that out of 229 cases where operations had been performed 23 recovered. Dr. Willard Parker believed in operations for the disease. Ina paper read before the Medical’ Journal. association in September, 1873, he reports 14 cases of cure by excision, the patients being in good health at the ends of periods varying from 3 to 27 years.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning the Growth of the United Kingdom. An eminent British statistician, Mr. Mulhall, has contributed some interesting information lately on the subject of the growth of the United Kingdom, which contains, at the same time, many encouraging and discouraging facts. Mr. Mulhall finds, for instance, that while the population of the United Kingdom is increasing only 12 per cent. per decade, its wealth is growing 22 per cent. during: ame time, its trade 29, and its shippin, statistics it is shown t death rate is rapidly decreasing, ‘that \fewer children die and that people live to ‘In vital much greater age than wht particularly strikes 1 1-2 per cent. the fact that marriages on the other hand, the prime of life, birth rate is very to 55.000 per year, last decade. reached ‘that state, Times-Democrats fogs in pity. 1068 Te ib aetna the from the chimneys? ‘‘bear the ills’’ of the might encourage? “ ramento, in trust for the G 8 Home of that city. the assignment to him, and rean acknowledgment of its reAt the request: of’ the other I then” aved a fhe canoe always considered that my Claim ain <a Coanesiasionse was nomi. , amounting to only $200 or $300, moder to divest myself of all ined whatever ‘of the disease if the deodori and .

Births per 1,000 of population fell off about\S 1-2 per cent a year in the period 1881-85, as compared with 187680, while the marriage rate declined only Mr. Mulhall recogmiaes the fact that these figures ‘‘give ground for an apprehension of-physical decadence,’’ and calla upon the British Medical“association to make a report upon it at the next session, Examining the figures by geographical divisions, he finds that the natural increase in population, or the excess of births over deaths, is at the rate of 14,3 per 1,000 inhabitants in England and Wales, 13.9 in Scotland and only 6.4 in Ireland. This is especially significant in view of less in Ireland asin England, and more children are born to each marriage; but Jreland is now the lowest in »the world, and steadily declining ‘in consequence of the emigration of men and women in the The result ‘of this low unfavorable to. the country, the decrease in births amounting as compared with the Such facts as these are always, alarming. but a low birth rate seems to come with civilization and wealth, reached nearly a stationary position in regard to population, the number of births being just sufficient to keep up the population. New England has about and tion would in all prob: for immigration, and Mr. Mulhall’s figures would indicate that Great, Britain, which in the past poured forth millions of people to colonize the world, is rapidly approaching that condition of physical ‘decadence where the naumber of births will-be barely sufficient to prevent a decline in the population of the country.--New Orleans Sulphur iu the Air. i The quantity of burnt sulphur that escapés into the air is very great.
