LOUISIANA. Dr. W. G. Deal, of Colfax, died June 1.-New Orleans.-Dr. T. B. Richardson died May 22,at the age of 66.-This city had years ago a large excess of men over women. Since the war, and particularly during the last twelve years, the excess of women is remarkable, the death-rate among men being so much higher than among women. The census of 1890 showed an excess of 14,306 women. The State census showed the excess to be 15,198, but that enumeration was very defective, and the excess of females to-day may be 18,000, or 13 per cent. The statistics of the Board of Health explain the difference. Although the women are in a large majority, five men die to every four women. The death-rate from 1890 to date has been: White males, 29.5; white females, 20 9; negro males, 42.8.; negro females, 33.9. A female's prospect of living is 41 per cent better in New Orleans than that of a male. There is no difference in the mortality of the younger people of both sexes, but beyond 21 the difference is marked. There are 43,916 white men older than 21 years and 53,600 white women. The cases of deaths among the former a year are 1,655 and the latter 1,252, a death-rate respectively of 37.7 and 23.3; in other words, out of 100 men and 100 women sixteen men die to every ten women. Between the ages of 30 and 50, although the women are in an immense majority, 619 men died to 365 women.

GERMANY.-The Langenbeck House, recently opened with great ceremony in Berlin, was founded at the instigation of the late Empress Augusta, as a medical congress hall and a scientific museum, During the war of 1870- 71, Dr. Langenbeck, who went through the campaign in charge of one of the chief ambulances, was in the habit of bringing his

colleagues together when possible to discuss medical questions arising out of the complicated and often novel cases with which they had to deal in the field. The utility of these small conferences proved so great that the doctor was induced, after the conclusion of peace, to found a German surgical association for similar purposes. The increasing size and labors of the institution necessitated a permanent place of meeting, and Dr. Langenbeck was seeking a means to supply this want when death overtook him. The Berlin Medical Association proposed to erect a statue to his memory, but the Empress Augusta thought that it would be much more in accordance with his wishes if a memorial of a more practical nature were erected, and suggested the building of the institution which has just been completed. The memorial house cost about 500,000 marks, to which the Empress Augusta, the late Emperor Frederick, and the present Emperor all largely contributed.-The real name of Emin Pasha, whose death has just been once more announced, was Edward Schnitzler.

Despite treatment the erection persisted for twenty-one days, and only disappeared when the general condition improved.
