WHAT ARE We TO EAT?-Some kind
Of pestilence has broken out among
the fish, if we are to believe the New
York papers; and already four hun
dred barrels of diseased herrings have
been seized on one of the piers in that
city. This is bad news again. The
rinderpest frightened many people
from their beef steaks and savory
roasts, and the trichina horifed them,
at the idea of being eaten up alive
while indulging in roast pig, sausages
and buckwheat cakes. Then it was
said, and "wise" men encouraged the
delusion, that mutton was the health
lest meat in the market, and that
sheep were never attacked by disease.
But that assertion has not been made
good, for we have accounts from Eng
land and Scotland that a species of
plague has broken out in both coun-
tries among the sheen. Then timid
people fell back on poultry, and were
just composing themselves to break
fast, dine and sup on chickens, when
intelligence was brought us that dis
ease had fastened on this class of the
feathered race in the West Indies, and
and that it would most likely reach
this country by way of some hen
coop, on some bark trading between
the islands and the United States. =
This was enough, and. the terrified
patrons of the pullet and the capon
forbade their appearance in the kitchen
or at the table, and turned their at
tention to the inhabitants of the sea.
But what must be their dismay at
learning that fish, like beeves, hogs,
sheep and chickens, are also liable to,
and affected by disease? What now
are they to do? What shall we eat ?
The question is one of vital impor-
tanee. 1t enters into everyday life
and cannot be Ignored. Man must
eat, but what to eat in these latter
days, is an interrogatory easier pro-
pounded than expounded.

Removal of Controller Jeffers.

From the Daily Enterprise, Apnly
Mr.. EDIron: Being an eye witness
of a remarkable trial, 10y which the
Common Council deposed, or attempted
to depose, the Controller, permit me
to trouble you with few remarks in
relation to that matter. And in the
first place let me say that i do not
belong to the same political party of
the Controller, but as public officer,
and conversant with his acts for many
years, my attention was called to the
matter by seeing the charge against
him published in the Common Council
proceedings l attended the trial and
witnessed the proceedings from begin
ming to end. must say it was either
an attempt to perpetrate great out
rage, or it was n great farce; no single
charge was sustained, but on the other
hand the action of the Controller was
fully and squarely justified.
The first charge was that of expend-
ing the moneys belonging to the Gem
etery Fund, contrary to the provisions
of the Charter; in other words, that
the Cemetery Commissioner had no
power to expend over $500 on the
cemetery grounds, without consent of
the Common Council. OF the correct
ness Of this proposition / am unable
to state, but the investigation showed
beyond question, that the money
was economically expended, ard that
there could not possibly have been any
motive in making the expenditure, as
it was of no interest whatever to either
Mr.. Buckhout or the Controller. The
Controllers vouchers were carefully
examined by Committee of the Com
mon Council, Aldermen Gage and
Allardt, and were found to be oorreot,
and the balance of the monies in the
hands Of the Controller were promptly
paid to the City Treasurer. That the
cemetery needed improvement no one
will question, and it is TO be hoped
that the Commissioners the coming
season will carry forward the plan Of
improvement commenced by their pre-
decessors.
In regard to the Controller specu-
lating in sand, the facts are, as proved
by Kimball, the contractor, that the
Controller had no interest whatever in
the sand. His statement is, that last
November he was in Mr.. briggs
office; that he was talking with parties
there relative to his contract; that he
stated that he would give $4,000 to
any one who would take the sand and
dispose of it; that Mr.. JefIers, who
had just then come into the office,
stated that he would take it, agreeing
10 take care Of it at the rate of 100
yards per day, and that he would pay
damages If not done; Jeffers left town
soon after.
Kimball waited some days for letters
to return, and being obliged TO go
home, left a contract for Jeffers to ex-
ecute and forward to him at Chicago.
On his way he met Jeffers at Bridge
port, and he (Jeffers) stated to Kimball
that no had made up his mind TO have
nothing TO do with the sand; and car
rying out that statement he never did
execute the contract Sometime this
spring he wrote letter to Mr.. KIM
ball stating that the city would like to
