A Mixing of the Babies.

Some time ago there was dancing party
given 'up North : most of the ladies pre-
sent had little babies, whose noisy perVer-
veFsjty required too much attention to per-
NIT the mothers to enjoy the dance. A
number Of gallant young men volunteered
to watch the young ones while the parents
INDUCED ina ''break down." No sooner
had the women left the babies in charge of
the Rischievous devils, than they stripped
the infants, changed their clothes, giving
the apparel of one to another. TIE dance
over, it was time to go home, and the
mothers hurriedly took each baby in the
dress of her own, and started some to their
homes ten or fifteen miles off, and were far
on their way. before daylight. But the
day following there was tremendous row
in the settlement; mothers discovered that
single night had changed the sex of their
babies-observation disclosed physical
phenomena, and then commenced some of
the tallest female pedestrianism living
miles apart, it required two days to unmix
the babies, and many months to restore the
women to their natural sweet dispositions.
To this day it is unsafe for any Of the baby
mixers TO venture into the territory.

STAMPS IN THE SoUTH.--Tbe Commits
sioner of Revenue has made an important
decision concerning stamps IN the South.
He says: The first act imposinga stamp
tax upon certain special instruments, took
effect, so far as said tax is concerned, Oc-
tOber lst, 1869. The impression which
seems to prevail to some extent, that no
stamps are required upon any instruments
issued in the States lately in insurrection,
prior to the surrender or prior to the es-
tablishment of collection districts there, is
erroneous. Instruments issued in those
States since October 1st, 1869, are subject
to the same taxes as similar ones issued at
the same time in the other States.

THE PUBLIC UEALTH.

The Report of the Metropolitan Board OF
Health, of which we print an abstract else
where, contains vast amount of matter OF in
tcrest to every inhabitant OF the Metropolitan
District. The labors of the Board have been
enormous the result gratifying. The Commits
siOncrs appointed by the Governor under the
Act of February 90, 1860, found the scene of
their future warfare full of outrages against the
public health. Two hundred slaughter-houses in
New-York and fifty in Brooklyn were tainting
their neghborhood with pestientnl odOrs, some
Of them having been established for twenty years
upon sites which have become surrounded by a
dense population; sixty fat and bone-bOil-
ing establishments were In full blast hav-
ing influences over courts and juries to such an
extent that tho legal prohibition was laughed
to scorn; Washington and other markets were
public nuisances such portions of the streets
and sidewalks as had not been given away by
favor of the City Government were obstructed
by droves of live stock at all hours of the
night, the cutters of the city overflOwed with
filth, and the sewers were choked by garbage;
stale fish and vegetables openly vended in the
produce stalls were sowing the seeds of disease,
and whole districts of the two cities were ex-
vigilant and determined. They appointed
an effective force of local Inspectors
these inspectors being educated medi-
cal men-who should thoroughly explsre
every portion of the Metropolitan District, and
report upon its sanitary condition. The re-
moval or renovation Of oil the nuisances thus
reported was entered upon with energy.
Here, as in every reform which may be under
taken under ourpresent judgeship, the Courts
were the most active allies of the offenders
Fat-boiling and lime-burning were protected
by the Courts, who so enjoined the Board as
to seriously hamper 1t In the discharge of the
duty which was to be public benefit. In
spite Of Judicial interference, much was accom-
plished, and New-YOrk escaped such ravages
of the cholera epidemic as had seemed inevita-
BILE. -.
The Report of the Board exposes some of the
many city contracts which are frauds upon the
taxpayers. By one contract with one Thomas
Andrews, the city pays him $4,000 per year
for removal in boats OF the night t-soil, which
is delivered at certain piers. By another con-
tract, the city receives $4,000 per year from
one Daniel Gallagher for the night-soil deliv-
cred at Lodi, N. j. AS Thomas Andrews and
Daniel Gallagher represent one and the same
business party, It follows that the city re-
ceives $4,000 and pays s25,0OO for the same
job, losing clean $4,000 each year. by q
third contract, the city pays the Long Island
Bone Laboratory Company $4,000 per year for
the removal Of offal and dead animals, while

That yearned for the feet OF the coming years.

And questioned the secret stars with tears
And three years later, the day so recently conse-
Grated TO his death, was welcomed by an ideasts

of his own city the remarkable merit of his poetry
was well known. but it was not for many years
that the journals and magazines of Philadelphia
gave him any recognition whatever. In Boston and
New-York his poems are more familiar than in Phila-
