attached to the command of Oen. John

PhysicallyV? A few years ago, at the
Egliutou tournament in England, it ap?
peared that tho famous knights of three
and four centuries ago, raubt have been
smaller evon than the Englishman of to?
day, for it was impossible to put on
their armor. Aud uow come vital statis
tics to prove that w<j aro more hardy
and longer-lived thau our fathers. Tbe
statistics kept at Goueva since 15G?,
show that the average term of life has
been steadily lengthening. At that time
the average was only tweolj'-two years;
it is now forty. In the fourteenth
century the averago niortuiily iu Paris
was oue in sixteen; the rate has beeu
reduced in our day to one iu thirty-two.
Iu England, less than two centuries ago,
the mortality was oue iu thirty-three;
now oue iu forty-two. Tbe laws of lifo
are better understood; the comforts of
lifo more widely distributed, and habits
of living improved.
A correspondent, writing from Mem?

of the houses have either fallen victims
to the fever, or fled from tbe city. I uow
aud theu catch a momentary glimpse of
a 'Howard' hurrying away on some
errand of mercy, but iu some districts I
can walk for squares without meeting a
soul. The 'Howards' are doiug noble
servico, and when tho danger is passed,
there will be many a tale to tell of
heroes and heroines who have sacrificed
their lives in the performance of their
self-imposed duties, aud with calm for
titude have gone to their death, un?
heralded by fame, their only requiom,
'the tribute of a sigh.' "
