The Now York Mail and Express, evi
dently referring to the recent collapses
brokers and speculators of that city,
says: "The number of husbands whe
are now supported by their wives
larger than ever."
The Senate of the United States acteri
wisely in setting aside the unexpended
balance of the $100,000 appropriation
passed last year, as an emergency funo
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases in the country. It is well to
prepared for an emergency, and sucl
on one as the sudden outbreak of
pestilence belongs not to the category
of impossibilities.
Exports of domestic merchandise foi
the ten months ending April 30, 1884
amounted to $625,546,375, against $695,'
516,607 for some period last year
Hero is a falling off of $70,000,000
The balance of trade, however, is con
siderably in our favor for the period
named—tho total imports for ten
months being $559,380,063 against
$625,546,375 exports. With a balauci
of $66,000,000 in our favor, the aspect
of our foreign trade is not unsatisfac
tory, except as showing a decrease oi
business.
The eastern papers cater in one sensi
to the numerous class known as bread
eaters. They seem to magnify tla
amount "in sight" and the prospects o!
an abundant crop, with a view of lower
ing the price of the great staple, and
are assisted to somo extent local pridi
in large yields. As yet there is no real
basis for estimates of the number ol
bushels to be thrown on the marked
but this fact is no obstruction to the ex
pert flgurers,who have their reputation
to maintain of seeing farther into thi
future than anybody else.
Professor E. D. Cope, of PhUadel
phia, recently returned from the west,
writes that the bison, the elk, and othei
of the lat ger game animals of this coun
try, are approaching extermination
The elk, has been eliminated from the
confines of civilization, and exists onlj
in the forests and the bison, unable
hide his giant frame upon the open prai
rie, is nearer to extinction than miy oi
lik smaller co-suflerers. Of the bison, ht
says: The once huge southern herd
has been reduced to a few animals ii
northwestern Texas. The Dakota herd
numbers only some 75,000 head, a num
ber which will soon be reduced to zerc
if the present rate of extermination con
tinues. The Montana herd is now tli«
object of relentless slaughter, and wil!
soon follow the course of the other twe
herds." These bands are about all thai
is left out of the countless millions thaj
once roved the plains. It is supposed
by many that the game in the Yellow
stone Park is preserved but reliable ac
counts assert that it is not.
Dr. George T. Welch, of Keyport,
New Jersey, in the Medical Becord, vig
orously protests against the extrav
agant and almost universal application
of drugs for every malady and form o)
disease. He tells us that the medical
scientist is skeptical of all drugs, and
that medicine has achieved her mosl
glorious renown in the prevention, no)
in the cure, of disease and he boldly
declares that, "even to be liberal in 8
large sense, if certain drugs like opium
quinine, iodine, phosphorus, iron, etliel
strychnia and aconite were rescued, the
whole nauseous bulk of the rest mighi
be in the flat seas sunk, mid the death
rate rise no higher. The trouble
is, the writer asserts that medi
cal thought runs too much
towards "specifics." Proof of tho ten
dency of natural recovery is not lacking
in the wonderful cures that have been
handed down by drugs which present
enlightenment show to have no remedial
virtues whatever, and "the decrdence
of onoe popular remedies must lead us
to suspect the disappearance of many
which are now highly esteemed.
The oourts throughout the country
seem to be tighteniu 5 up the law of li
bel in away that renders the publica
tion of ordinary news somewhat danger
ous. The latest move in this direction
is by the supreme court of Massachu
setts in an action to recover damages
for the publication of an alleged libel oi
and concerning plaintiff, in the
Boston Herald, the same consist
ing in publishing a petition for
the removal of plaintiff from the bar
before any action had been taken 01
hearing had upon the same. The de
cision was against the newspaper, and
the jourt decided that the publication of
preliminary written statements or com
plaints may be libellous, etc. "It would
be carrying privilege farther than we feel
prepared to carry it, to say that by the
easy means of entitling and filing it in
a cottse a sufficient foundation might
be laid for scattering any libel broad
cast with impunity." Western courts,
as a rale, are not inolined to restrict the
liberty of the press to the extent of the
Eastern, though they seem to be mov
ing in the same direction.
