Buys the Boston Herald: Peoplo wh< believe in the heredity of crime will find some interesting evidence on their side in the history of a Charles Ford who was hanged recently lor murder in Illinois, His father was hanged for the same crime "> before him, and his brother likewise. His mother's brother is now doing time r at Sing Sing (N. Y.) Prison for train ' .^^prrecking, and his sister has run a thieves' (paradise in Hew York for several years. She was chased out of Chicago, and her Second husband is in the Indiana State Penitentiary. There are numerous other Telatives in the same line of business, but perhaps this record will do. The statistics of iloriculturo furnished by the Census Bureau are of a very interesting character. There are, it ap pears, 5000 establishments throughout the country engaged in raising flowers aud plants; $40,000,000 is invested in the industry, and nearly 20,000 persons are employed in it. The products during the census year *Srere valued at $26,000,(I 000, and among the products were 50,and the ajsthetiVsTde," comments the Philadelphia Record, "the extent of this industry is gratifying. The passion for flowers is one of the most delicate sent! meets in human nature, and its subtile and refining influence is a factor in moral growth and elevation." The New York Mail and Erprest is o( the opinion that very few people have any idea of the manner in which the development of tho commerce on oiy great lakes keeps pace .with the extention of trunk line railroads. TheCensiu Bureau have issued a second bulletin on lake transportation, whicjj places the number of vessels engaged on the lakes at 2784, with a gross tonnage of 924,472, a net tonnage of 780,119, and estimated carrycapacity of 1,254,721 tons and a commercial valuation of $48,809,750. This Is a marvelous showing, not only for the lake traffic, but for the development oi the region beyond tho lakes which has stimulated the lake commerce. The Louisville Courier-Journal rays: The proper way in which to considei v the size of a city is to include all the people In a given radios who are directlj dependent upon it for support, whether they may live in a different country or Btate. The application of this test oausei considerable shifting about of places among our cities, and results in some surprises. It gives to New York that great lead in population which her commercial and financial importance and metropolitan character warrant. WhiU on the face of the census returns Near York has 1,613,000 and Chicago 1,099, 000, the difference does not seem great, yet when New York takes all her su burbs and outlying towns, placos in which people can sleep but live in New fcj York, she expands into a mighty volume ^ comparing well with that of London By taking a section of country aroum New York Bay about fifty miles square, on* obtains a population of 3,621,578] all of whom are virtually citizens of the metropolis.

Referee Dunn, Hew?fjL^E>ttdera a Decision Which Cfreates Adverse Criticism. New York, [Special.]?Jere Dunn, the referee of the glove fight between Frank Slavin and Jake Kilrain, in Hohokeu, Tuesday night, has made known his official decision. He decided that Slavin had won the bout, and was entitled to 75 per cent, of the $10,000 purse, but that all beta that Kibrain would be knocked out within the ten rounds were off. New York sporting men look upon the decision as inconsistent. They claim that a ten-round contest must be concluded unless one man is knocked out or injured so that he must stop, and that only an event of oither character can end a contest of a limited number of rounds. In this instance the mistake of the timekeeper in not sounding tthe gong before Kilrain was on his feet after a knockdown in the ninth . ronhd, ^caused the -trouble, but tecbnlefitty "rfcgMlwl Kilrain being up and ready to fight when the gong was struck was cot knocked out.

STARVING ISLANDERS. , First Decimated by an Epidemic and Now Suffering for Food. Montreal, Canada, f Special.]? Capt. N. T. Jordan, of the schooner Mary, gives additional particulars ?f the epidimic at Magdalen Islands. Two months ago the son of a lighthouse keeper at South Point, Amherst Island, fell ill. His disease was not considered | dangerous until other members of the I family were similarly affected. It was thought to be the grip. The Malady spread rapidly into the neighboring village of Stang du Nord, and in less than a week seven-eighths of the inhabitants . were down. The disease had then as^jWnaaff a most malignant form. Deaths more t-hso 4,000 men, women and children, were afflicted, while the death roll had run into the hundreds. The people' became panicstricken and helpless. ' The outbreak was at the opening of the fishing season, but as nearly every one was affected the fisheries were entirely abandoned. The islanders depend on the catch for food and supplies. Their condition is simply deplorable. Deaths are now so frequent that the dead have to be immediately buried in the merest apology for a cofiin. In the vicinity of Fox Harbor, Capt. Jordan has seep upward of thirty families actually starving, while others arc satisfied if they can get a biscuit each as a day's rations. He vi?itcu one family named Jameson, consisting of eight pe >ple; four are dead, the mother aud two children dying, and the father, who is ill. said that excepting a little Indian meal, they had not had food for two weeks. The same teniblo condition prevails on the other island*, tad Um mwM cine is exhausted. The Captain said unless food was immediately sent those who survived the disease would staive to death. The islands arc under the control of the Quebec Government. They are private property, having been granted by the British Government to Rear Admiral Sir Isaac Cofiin, and are now owned by his nephew.

According to The Huh, a paper pu lishcd nt Kearney, Neb., the distress the fariilers has touched the judic bench, and caused it to exercise a rs degree of discretion in administering t law. It seems that while court was in si sion iu a town appropriately nam Broken Bow, a lawyer applied for a ri to confirm a farm mortgage ^sale. out a precedent in court auuals. Judge Hamer, who was presidii looked thoughtfully at the lawyer a n ment. Then his eyes ranged over 1 sad-faced farmers in the hall of justice, "I will not do it!" said the judj "This docket is covered, page upon paj with confirmation cases.
