The Registrar -General has just issued hie 52nd annual report °onoerning the biribe, deaths and marriages of England and Wales, and it furniahee, as usual, a moat interesting volume. He estimates the population of the country, at the middle of last year, at something over 29,000,000. The marriages registered were 213,865, oorreaponding to a rate of 14 7 persona married per 1,000 living. This is higher than in any year since 1884; when it was 15.0. There ie a tendenoytor church mar- riages to decline, and for those at registry offices to inorease. Of previously divorced persons there are 150 who re-entered the married state -75 of each sex. Taking the males first, 59 married apinetere, 14 widows,. and 2 divoroed women. Taking the females, 62 married bachelors, 11 widows, and 2 divorced men. There is a steady rise in the ages at whioh people now marry, the - average for men being 28.23e_and for women 25.95.^ There ie also favi improv ment 'in their educational qualifoation, as fewer people now sign the register with a cross. With regard to births, the number is given as 885,944 -the lowest rate recorded in any of the last 50 years, and a further step in the decline whioh has gone on oontinnouely eine 1876. Com riled .in the total were 1, 2�!—oitiil ren rn out o w : s look, the lowest on record. The deaths were 518,353, or a proportion of 17.9 to 1,000 of the estimated population. Only 23 deaths were attributed to, smallpox and 137 to ;typhus fever. As to scarlet fever, there were 6,698 victims, measles 14.732, whoop- ing Dough 12,225, diphtheria 5,368, diarrhoea 18,434, and cancer 18,654. Ofdeaths f rom violence, there were 17,497, amongst this number being 2,170 suicides, 12 executed criminals and 172 murdered people. Prayer in a Queer Place. That was a very 'pretty incident that occurred at the Newark Police Headquar- ters recently : Peter and Frank are youngsters of 14 and 16 who have lost their parents. They started on foot for Florida, where they have an nnole. Worn and weary after a ' long day's tramp, and having no money, they applied to the police for a plass to sleep. Captain Corbett, who gave them 'a couple of Dote, thought it well to keep an eye on the lads. He notioed that before they turned in they went down on their knees. It was a very remarkable proceed- ing and had probably never 000urred before in that place. So the next morning he asked them in a gentle tone what they knelt for and they replied with timid modesty, "Oar mother taught ns to pray'!" That isn't the kind of people the police generally dome itgt, contact with and they enjoyed a new andsomewhat startling sensation. But the npehot of it was that money enough was raised to pay the youngsters' way to Florida, and two more grateful or happier fellows have seldom been seen.—fires York Herald.

The cavae of hie death: is alleged to have been an attaok of bronohitia The death of the. prince has oaneed a tremendous sensation, and creates consternation in all classes in Brussels. There are all aorta of rumors circulating, as the public was entirely unaware that the prince was ill. Prince Bandonin Leopold-Phillippe Marie Charles • rinoese Henr1etje, woo nae peen ill for some time past. But the atatements are far from convincing the people that the real cause of'the death of Prince Baudouin has been given to the public, and the start- ling rumors already referred to are popte Jarly believed to be founded on a solid1besis of fact of some description. Count of Flanders, brother of King Iieopld. Prince Baudouin was born in this city on June 3rd, 1869. He was .a captain of the Belgian Oarbiniera and a captain of the ' Prussian oavalry, being attached to the`• second regiment of Hance verian Dragoons. Intense exoitement prevails in Brussela and throughout the Provinces. Crowds of people are parading the streets or gathered in knots at street corners eagerly diemneeing the situation. On all sidea the warmest ea reesione of sympathy with the royal family in this their freak trial are heard. Prince Bandonin's popularity and brilliant talents, and the bright hopes centred by the Belgiane on his future career, make them feel the Prince'e lova in the keenest manner. ' The • news of the Prince' -s death was with- held from his sister, the Prinoees Henriette, 'a beautiful girl of about 20 years of age, who is dangerously sick from inflammation of the longe. The ,palace of the Count of Flanders, where the prinoeee resides, is surrounded by a strong force of police, who are doing their utmost to prevent the unusual noise intim streete from arousing the suspicions of the suffering, prinoesi. - A Brnesele gable ease: 'lie" death -'of Prince Baudouin has plunged the whole country, and especially this city, into mourning. Crape, brick flags and other emblems of grief are being displayed every- where through the city. It is said in official circles that Prince Baudouinhad for some time been snfferin: from influenza, but in spa e of the remonetranoes of his physicians be insisted upon passing hie nights recently at the bedside of hie eider, Prinoese Hen- riette. On Monday last the Prince insisted upon going for a drive, or, -as_some say, for a ride on horseback. His foolhardiness caused him to catch a fresh cold, and on Wednesday he, was forced to take to bed. Yesterday the Prince's condition had become more serione, but it does not Seem to have canoed alarm, as his indisposition was not known to the public. Yesterday afternoon an un- favorable change was noticed in the Prinoe 'and hie " condition cabled great apprehensions. Towards night the last sacraments of the Roman Cetholio Church were administered. The Prinoe was later attacked by high fever, and was in danger of lapsing into delirium. King Leopold and Queen Maria were summoned to the Prince's bedside. They did their utmost to console the sufferer, though both King and Qaeen were overcome with. grief. Finally the Ministers and chiefs of the royal household .were sent for. They were in attendance during all the latter part f the night. At 10 o'clock the Prince wee ubjeoted to the operation of napping, but with no result. Shortly before midnight he attending .physicians pronounced the Prince to•be dying, and the worst was ex - ceded. at any moment. Gradually the Paince'e reepiratione became weaker and weaker, until a sadden flow of blood from he lunge ttnffoeated the sufferer. He died t 1.45 a. m., not 3 a. m., as at first stated: The latest and most probable version of he cause of Prinoe Baudouin's death is hat it was due to a complioation of small - ox, bronchitis and beematuria. The 0 8 t p t a t t p populace are enraged at what they term the blundering of unsuspecting dootora. Prince Bandonin was upon the point of being betrothed to his cousin, Princess Clementine, the third end youngest daugh- ter of his uncle, King Leopold. • All the theatres and publio institutions are closed, and will remain closed until after the funeral, whioh will take place from the Royal palace at L`aeken, in South Brabant, about two miles north of Brussels. The Parliament' hes also adjourned. Princess Henrietta is said to biworse this evening. The extreme danger of Prince Bandonin first became known 'at' noon yesterday, when he hada hemorrhage of the kidneys. The King and Queen, while at the Prince's 'bedside last' night, were overcome with grief and wept together. The Qaeen was finally obliged to retire in consequeide of the violenoe.of her grief. The Prince tried to reassure those at his bedside, saying: ''I shall be better to -morrow." The physicians were still hopeful till 10 p. m , when the patient was sapped. At midnight ,the Prinoe motioned Dr. Melia to approach his bedside, and thanked him for his kindness .ilia voice was then almost inaudible. At 1 o'clock he motioned to his parents to some °loser to hie bed. He raised himself with difficulty, and embraced them in farewell. Both were weeping. The brother and sister of the dying man .thep knelt at. his bedside. The Prinoe recognized them and feebly reached out hie hand . and touched their foreheads. Soon after ho had a fresh hemorrhage, and died at 1.45 a. m. The phyaioiane in attendm nae are hooeopath• ids. The Royal tangly have fall son. fidence in them.

This change,, whioh: will involve the disappearance of the compound engine and single sorew, is significant as marking a radical departure in the propulsive machinery of fleet - chum ocean atearnehipe. That machinery is only about seven years old ; and the fact that it has been already found neoes• nary to eupersede it for purely business reasons tells the whole story of the won- derful development of modern ocean travel.
