Cirion 1'uctn About Niitcirte.
It Las been maintained by aomo writers
tln.t miicide increaHes with the intellectual
growth of a people, and is unknown to tha
tavRgo and uneducated races in fact, might
be iwed to lueaHuro the intelloctual capaoi'y
of a peoplo. Among the aborigines of this
country, Australia, and Africa, fltiioide U
almost unknown. It is also very rare among
Mohammedans. Dr. Oppenheim, a distill
guished (Jenuan travollcr, and author of a
work on Turkey, met with only throe cases of
Hiiicide during his extensive travels through
tha Ottoman Empire; aud two of these were
Christians, the third a renegade Christian.
European countries do, indeed, afford gome
color to the intelloctual theory of suicide.
Spain, for behind all other European coun
tries in modern progress, shows very few
cases of suicide; while among the Italians
suicide, which, previous to the late revolu
tion, was a thing almost unknown, has now
become, comparatively speaking, quite fre
quent. This does not surprise us, as it is
well known that suicide becomes common
after revolutions.
During the great Revolution in France
(178!)-180O), the number who committed
suicide was enormous, especially among the
nobility and better classes. When we recol
lect the torture of the reign of terror, the
intense mental suffering caused by the loss of
relatives aud friends as well as fortune, it
becomes easy to acconnt for the frightful
increase of suicide. This is equally true, but
not to the same extent, of all revolutions.
Statistics show the Germans to bo the most
suicidal people in Europe; France comes next
on the list; England third, while tho Irish are
the least suicidal people in Europe. The late
Professor (Iraves, of Dublin, many yoars ago
drew attention to the influence of seasons on
crime, tho periodical recurrence of certain
crimes with certain soasons, as well as the
greater prevalence of the greatest of crimes
suicide during the summer months, while
crimes against property prevailed during th
winter and spring. The investigations of
Eaqnirol at the Snltpetriere, and those of
other European inquirers, show this statement
to be in the main correct. To acoount for
this, many theorios have been advanced, a
few of which we will mention and discuss in
the order in which they are now generally ac
cepted. The physical condition of the air,
including the quantity of moisture and
drought, terrestrial magnetism, and tho elec
trical condition, tend to react on the mind,
render tts less capable of resisting immoral
influences which, perhaps, in our own
day derive additional support from the
theory now generally received that
nervous force is an allotropio condition
of electricity as ozone is of oxygen and a
cause, a very frequent cause, of epidemics.
Should this theory prove to be correct it will
explain a great deal in times past, and afford
doctors an excellent opportunity to rid them
selves of the bete noir of their profession.
Few, if any, now doubt the important part
terrestrial magnetism and the electrical con
dition of the air play in tho cause of disease
in plants as well as animals. The influence
of imitation has also had at all times a won
derful influence in increasing or diminishing
the number of suicides, and very many curi
ous facts are adduced to prove the correct
ness of thia statement. It was noticed in
England, after the death of the Conservative
statesman, Lord Castlereagh, by suicide, that
very many persons destroyed themselves in
the same way. And in Paris, at the Hotel
des Invalides, one of the pensioners commit
ted suicide, and was followed by seven
others. The dark corridor was lighted, the
post from which the hanging took place re
moved, when no more suicide took place.
In this case, no doubt, imitation was the
principal cause.
Among cities, London has by far tho
largest number of suicides in proportion to
lis popuiauon; m vne v eniuuunier umuiuir
and we now copy from English statistics
tho proportion was one in every six thousand
three hundred and seventy-nine of the popu
lation. A eyeful study of European statis
tics shows the curious fact that married men
are less liable to commit suicide than single,
while the reverse holds good of females, a
fact that might be used with some force
against those who advocate celibacy. In pro
portion to the population, suicide is shown to
be more common in large cities than in
towns or country: but this can be readily ac
counted for when we recollect that cities are
the hiding-places of those who commit crime;
and we know the massing together of large
numbers of people tends to demoral
ize; also, that, of those who commit
suicide, many, coming from tho country
with bright hopes, meet with disappoint
ment, and end their lives in despair. The
statements of French and English writers go
to prove that the greatest number of suicides
take place in June, July, and August, while
November. December, and January have the
lowest numbers. A careful study of the
statistics published by the city of Boston
proves the correctness of this statement. The
statistics were first published in 1810, and
have been issued annually since, with the
exception of tho years 18C0-U1 in all, nine
teen years but, as there was no distinct
registration of males and females till 1854,
we have in reality only fourteen years to draw
our conclusions from. The register does not
furnish us information as to married or single,
an omission which prevents us from proving
the relative frequency of suicide in the two
conditions of life. The number of males
was a little less than two-thirds of tho whole
number; females, a little over one-third.
The largest number of smciuns occurred in
June, one-third more than November; next
in order, May and July; the lowest number
in February, and next in ordor December and
January. This proves the correctness of
Graves' statement, and shows it to be some
bing more than coincidence. From March
the number increased, till it reached the
maximum in June, when the ratio began to
diminish.
The whole number of suicides for fourteen
years is: of males, one hundred and twenty
nine; females, forty-seven; and for nineteen
years, inclusive, males and females, two
hundred and fourteen. The reports for
18(J0-'61 are wanting. The latter would be of
especial interest, as showing the influence
the war bad on suicide; but, as the number
of men who became soldiers during the first
vear of the war was comparatively small, we
can perhaps draw a truer inforenco from the
reports for the year 1802 and the subsequent
years. There is a very perceptible diminu
tion in the number of suioides for tho years
1803. and 186-1, compared with the
.h iaa vnrs wreoedina the war, showing that
the war diminished rather than increased the
TitimW. or it may be by diminishins the
source from which the main supply came
ih males. The lamest number of suioides
in any year was in 1858 the year following
ih financial panic when the propor
tinn was one to every seven thousand
.1. nrAraA Anrl fiiohtv.lwn nf the PODU
lation, and one to every one hundred and
eichty-nve of tne wnoie number oi aeains;
.i.-1-wiiat nuiuUr wo in IS J3. about t)dn
to every eighteen thousand six hnndred and
cighty-fnr of tho population, and one in
every fivo hundred and twpnty-two of the
whole number of deaths. These reports go
to prove tho incorrectness of English writers,
as it is shown that in 18.18, when suicido was
most frequent, tho proportion was one to
every seven thousand six hundred and eighty
two of tho populaMon; while in London tho
average proportion was one in every six
thousand three hundre.l and seventy-nine of
the population; and almost three times the
number for the year lHitf, when it reachod
the lowest number one to every eightoen
thousand six hundred and thirty-four. It
shows that suicide is not more common in
Boston or New York than in most European
cities, and that it has not increased since the
close of the late war, as we might expect
when such largo numbers of men were let
loose, whose habits and ways of living were
so completely changed by active warfare.

when thii important organ does not act, the skin assumes
a yellow appearanoe, and generally a elrk heatiiche sets in,
with chilly sensations, and eold hands and feet, accom

clogged, the maohinury does not work well, and both
mind and body are disordered, the afflicted becoming
cross and fretful, finding fault with everything around
them. To any person in this condition Dr. D. Jatnb's

The Kew City Directory. Tpe City Directory for
the year 18TU is bow being served to subscribers at the ex
traordinary low rate of $4 per copy, though bow snch a

recorded the names and the occupations of nine-tenths of
the people of Philadelphia ; a full list of streets, lanes,
alleys, oo arts, etc, are also givon, togother with the official
registry of the city. The volume is a decided improvement
upon ita predecessor of 1869, it being almost entirely free
from advertisements, and of a size whioh renders tha
handling of it easy and not a matter of labor. The com
piler, Mr. Costa, bos prepared the work with remarkable
accuracy, and the book may be pronounced almost per
fect. It is to be obtained at No. 20 8. Fifth street.
