Cities Born In a Week.

Some idea of the immense size of London may be gathered from the fact that there were registered, during the week ending Jan. 24, 2,789 births and 2,212 deaths. The births were 123 below and the deaths 168. above the average for the last ten years, says the London Globe. Here we have people enough born into the world in one week to constitute a “city” in the ambitious phraseology of Western English, and enough deaths in a time of profound peace to render memorable a battle-field. But the most striking fact in this table is that not one of all the 2,212 died of small-pox. It is not a little strange that, with so grand a record to show, there is to be found a considerable number of really able and well-informed people opposed to vaccination. -
