Where Shall n Permanent Quarantine be
Established.
TO THE EDITOR or TEE HERALD.

WASHINGTON u O., June Y, 1901
Among the questions at issue at the present
New York, is one Of no small importance. The
whole subject resolves Itself into one question
Where shall permanent quarantine be established in New
York; This subject has been pretty well examined in
the Journal Of Cpneyce in letters TO Governor King,
letter 10 Messrs Aspnwall and Minturn, OF New York,
and IN the columns Of the States Of this city The state
nents and letters published have all becn sided aud
one has replied 10 them.
The erection of temporary quarantine where II is now
being established by the Quarantine Commissioners ap
pointed at the last session OF the legislature Is necessary
for the city, ard say LEI go for the present Charity
demands that something be done within thirty days
at farthcst from the present time. 1t Is certain,
however, that Segu mes Point will not begin to
hold al the vessels landing at New York. On the 22d
scls one hundred and fourteen vessels not including
soops and lighters If this be The number arriving
in enc day. what must be the number Of daily arrivals
years hence? Ny advice is TO make provision for the f
ture. With this view think you had better begin at
once and bring down the Palisades to the northwest
of the East Bank make breakwatcr the said
bank from the Fourteen feet channel the north
Of the Bank and thence continuing east for any
required distance, forming right angle, leaving half
mile "swatb' between it ard Coney Island The open
angle to the southeast will collect the sands thrown by
winds from that quarter, and soon form island
There is a spot there now "dry at low wa
ter - let docks be built inside for vessels,
that have TO discharge their cargoes Sorehouses
erected on the wall and outside Gravesend bay can be
ufed as an place for vessels in state OF proba
on and Copey Isard the old Quarantine for the sick
and necessary physicians the latter reside in place
The current confined " the line Of the WALL having
let the fourteen feet channel" will carry OF the 9TH
among the outside breakers and perhaps deepen that
channel some feet. Yours OLD FOGY.

asserted that Governor King selected Messrs Hall and Ben

willing 10 crafty him. They selected and recommended
the Wolfe farm for permanent Site audit not until
their conduct and motives began 10 be canvassed in the
public prints that they talked of temporary location
The truth s that this whole Quarantine commission s in
keeping with the other uggery Of the black republican
office holders at Albany last winter magnificent scheme
was gotten up in the lobby for speculation the vci
nifty OF Seguines Point grand system Of warehouses,
Swallowed forth in the report of the Commissioners,
devised snd but for the excitement Staten Island,
would Rave been carried into execution Varops state
mep's have been inserted both in the report Of the Com
mssioners, and in the letter OF Mr. Hail. For instance
is stated that Wolfe farm 'is completely Isolated
That ibe hospital be built without danger to any of The
inhabtants;" whereas, afadevits have been made by
many OF The Grst physicians in the State that Seguiucs
Foin. Is one Of the most dangerous localities. There is
regulation OF 200 inhabitants within one mile, 800
within two miles and 5000 within three miles ap
pears from recent census. However the public are
getting their eycs open TO the scheme which has carried
the Quarantine to Seguine's Point, and the whole pal will
be frustrated. There s much yet to come to light and
which III as.ound the commercial community. Yours.

THE LATE AMERICAN PARTY.--We copy the
following from an article in the Stockton .4rgus,
a Know Nothing paper:
The position taken by James Buchanan, in his
Inaugural Address is one that meets the 0ppro-
bation Of every national man. The American
party cannot he antagonistical to that position
The very nature of our party commands that we
give IA hearty support TO the principles therein
cnunciatrd. The new administration is already
attacked by the jeff. Davis school Of politicians ;
and the selection of Lewis Cass is the signal for
the Van Bureniies to hurl their utmost strength
against the national course marked out hy james
Buchanan. Let the American party, then gal
lanty and molly come to the rescue. James
Buchanan has boldly and carcssly marked out
truly national course. 1t is the duty Of the
American party, so long as he continues in it
will not fulter.-to give him hearty and enthu-
static support. Let no feeling arising from the
late political battle be entertained other than can
be cherished by noble foes, worthy to combat in
a Republics cause. Let, then, the American
pary. with noble resolve, declare that the prin-
cipl's laid down in James Buchanan Inaugural
Address shall meet their cordial sympathy and
support, and That they will act as a body guard
to those principles TO foster aud protect them from
foes within and foes without.

what We can for you. We might extract from the
State Medical Rcpicto, and show that babies
weighing fifty or sixty pounds when one week
old are qnite common, but as this Quarterly has
been in existence but few months and contains
no record of the hnman crop of 1851, during
which year there was considerable rivalry in the
business we can only assert on the authority of
common report, that the competition became so
determined at one time, that mothers clubbed in
some neighborhoods, just TO see how far they
could distance opposition. The plan was not al
together successful for seventy-ve fpounds and a
full set OF teeth were the only remarkable result.

including what may be termed (what his bogra-
pher does not term) meaCncss. Lord BOlingbroke,
in his most extravagant youthful sallies, and the
wicked Littleton were saints to him. All Moore
can say is that each of his vices had some virtue
or prudence near it. Well, if this were not so in
all. who could escape hanging? The biographcr,
indeed, says his moral conduct must not be judg

LOVE on A LUMBER PILE.-The pile of lumber
on the Levee opposite j street seems to have
been adopted by general consent by the youths
and maidens of the Digger nation who pervadc
our city, as a common parlor, whereon any quan-
tty of counting can be done, unmolested by anx-
ious papas and mammas or spiteiul old maiden
aunts. " hen the thermometer is about ninety in
the shade, half dozen couples may often be seen
there basklng in the gentle rays of the sun and
young love. The swains are uncommonly sweet
upon their companions, for Indians, but il the
truth must be told, and with no intention of Ii
belling the sex, the young ladies do rdyther more
than their share of the courting. From the ex-
tensive amount Of hugging done by the latter,
and the sparkling of their eyes, we should say
they rather liked it.-Stdte JOurnai.

SPARE THE FLOWERS.

o. spare the flowers, the fair, young flowers
The free glad gift that summer brings;
Bright children of the sun and showers,
Here do they rise, earths offerings;
Rich be the dew upon you shed,
Green be the bough that DER you waves,
Weariless watchers by the dead
Unblending dwellers midst the graves.
Pluck not the flowers in days gone by
A beautiful belief was felt
That fairy spirits from the sky
Amidst the trembling blossoms dwelt.
Perhaps the dead have many guest
HuliCr than any that are ours;
Perhaps the guardian angels rest
Enshrined amidst the gentle flowers.
