PROPOSED PRoMENADE.-The latest propo-
sition for q fashionable promenade comes from
trial instituted by the Board Of Health. Tho
Board of Health want to prevent the herding
Of swine in yards in the city, and thus tho
owners Of yard are put on their defence.
Their defence is that pigs are pleasant, sweeter
than violets or roses, and that the odor arising
from their fat bodies is better than balm Of
Gilead for the general health. In fact, it seems
astonishing, in view Of the testimony, thst
people do not keep hogs in their parlors In
stead Of canaries. One enthusiastic witness
believes ''that the biggest ladies and gentle
men In the city should daily walk through
these pens, inhale the smell coming from tho
pigs and be refreshed" Truly the distinction
between perfume and the other kind Of fume
must be mere prejudice.

He HAD Coon EYEs.-Wells lost his over
coat In January-somebody stole It. But
Wells had photograph Of the coat in his
minds eye, Horatio. Two or three days ago
he was riding on street car, considering that
photograph Of his coat perhaps, and 10 look
ing around, there was the reality on man in
tho street, coming down stoop as the car was
going by. Wells jumped out, had the man
arrested, and Is likely to get his coat. Now,
this great metropolis is very small town after
all If man cannot wear stolen overcoat in
safety in IL.

COLLISION AT SEA.-In the case of the Kate
Dyer, run down by the steamer Scotland in
1866, the court has just decided that the
owners Of the Scotland must pay the value Of
the Kate Dyer, because the accident was due to
the negligence Of their agents. By the testi-
mony 1t appears that after the vessels sighted
one another the ship changed her course and
the steamer changed her course, and finally
the latter backed water to keep out Of the
scrape, yet the two collided, moving at righ.
angles. 1t was q small space in the sea at
which these two ships could meet in that way,
and yet they got in that small space at the
same moment, despite their efforts not to.
Without any changes Of course they might
have passed in mutual safety.

TROUBLE IN SING SNa.-There certainly
must be some laxity in the management of the
State Prison, if the mere tying of two keepers
inside sunices to enable several convicts to
escape Can it be that the life Of one keeper
who wakes up half . dozen convict cooks at
three A. M. is all that stands between the con-
victs and their freedom2 Otherwise, how
comes it that when the convicts had tied
keeper in the chapel and another in the
kitchen they can fairly walk out without
farther encounter? Does the place in which
this could happen deserve even the name Of
prison9 Some of these convicts are now
guilty of <urder by the killing Of the keeper,
which killing, though not intentional, was an
act whose consequence they assumed in doing
it. If they are hanged in the prison yard the
lives Of keepers will be the safer in that
institution.

BoRrE vs.. BoRRAs.-What shall we do with
the sea? This is what New Jersey Con-
gressman wants to know. II seems that the
impudent ocean rushes In at Atlantic City in
q most unjustihable style and threatens to un-
dermine the lighthouses and everything else,
and the Representative from that district wants
Congress to consider what shall be done about
1t. Congress ought to make q law defining the
exact force with which the ocean shall advance
at that point and designating the line It shall
not pass, and give the enforcement Of the law
to Borie. Congress has already made some
laws Of that character in regard to finance.

We believe that the best thing 10 do with
the public schools Is to leave them alone.
They are now effective educational institutions.
They are in the hands Of men who manage
them honestly and well, and there Is no part
Of our public expenditure that is so light BY
comparison with the benefit derived from tho
money spent. We believe this ct the Same
time that we have no doubt that TammanV
Hall can contrive tables and statements 10
show that the schools are managed with ~
much extravaganza as they would be in the
hands of Tammany herself. We are, there
fore, against any change in the schools, and
especially against the proposed change. We
cannot see the benefit Of q law declaring that
the present school commissioners shall be out
Of ONCE in ten days, and that the Mayor shall
thereupon appoint twelve other men as school
commissioners. Why should the whole school
system be thus at once put into the hands Of
the Mayor or twelve men Of his choosingf
What is the objectf What is the allegation
against the present men? By the proposed
bill the present board goes out at once, and
the first chance the people have in the naming
of others is at the end Of the year, in sthe next
general election" What was tho urgency
that would not permit the present men to stay
in until that election2 What is expected, In

THE BoHEMANs AND THEIR H0sT.-''Shall

Bohemian, and Pfaf says s'No." Dreadful
news in Bohemia! Pfaff has come out for the
ready money principle. He has caused the
arrest Of Bohemian who swallowed PAN
cake and cup of coffee and had not the need
full, and says Of his restaurant that ''as there
are great many persons who come there and
obtain food in the manner of said Edward,

The Naval Reearins List.

1t is appropriate at this time, whom better
organization Of the different departments OF
the government is being considered, that atten-
ton should be given to the condition Of the
navy with reference to the retiring Of ON
GERS. We yesterday presented In tabular
form the condition Of the navy with
reference to this. It unquestionably
shows marked injustice to the young, ener-
getic and able officers Of our navy, who see no
hope Of promotion until they become rheu-
matte and unfit for service. The standard In
the navy is the old phrase '.gray hairs are
honorable" and it Is evidently the only stand
ard matters little how many young Joneses,
Nelson's, Perrys and Lawrences we may have,
they are never permitted to show their mettle
until they get so aged and worn out that no
thing short Of q miracle will give life and
health enough to enable them to make mark.
We want retiring list much more effective
than the one existing. The men who ofhcer
our ships must wear their honors younger in
life, and consequently enjoy them longer
They must also step aside sooner and give
others an opportunity. We have seen gray
headed midshipmen sailing in first class YES
sells, and even now to be lieutenant COM
mander at forty years Of age is high grade.
We are young people, and illustrate that
young brains, young energies, young courage
and daring, not only apply on land but, on the
ocean, will carry ship farther, keep her aAoat
longer, fight her better and confer more honor
on the nation than can be done by the more
aged officers, however covered with glory won
In earlier years.

some time ago that affairs here should be taken

or Persia, to India and China. II is earnestly at
work now on this stupendous project, and
with the aid, too, Of some Americans. 1t is
secretly hostile to the Pacific and Asiatic tele-
graph project now before Congress, and to the
East India Telegraph Company, which Is en-
tirely American, and which proposes to lay
cables along the coast Of China, and to connect
that empire with the western shores Of this Con-
tinent by means of cables across the Pacific.
1t is using Its enormous capital and influence
to prevent American telegraph communication
to Asia by way Of the Pacific, and to turn all
the advantages Of this great agent Of civiliza-
tion and Commerce iee the other direction, by
way Of India and across the Continents OF Asia
and Europe.
British capitalists and statesmen are far
seeing, and they know that in the future the
telegraph will do more than fleets or treaties
in giving direction to and controlling the COM
merce Of the world. They fear the rivalry of
America and the advantages II possesses with
regard to China and other parts Of Asia from
geographical position. Hence the efforts to
centre all communication from America on
British soil, and to keep this country as much
isolated as possible from China and Asia gene
rally on the side Of the Pacific They will, If
possible, prevent New York and San Francisco
from becoming the centres Of commerce Of the
world, and will do everything to hold London
as the centre. Our shortsighted statesmen, or
rather we should say our stupid Congress
men, are playing into the hands Of the British
and helping them to carry out their vast pro-
jects by favoring the Atlantic cable mo-
nopoly and by throwing cold water on the en-
terprises Of other foreigners and those Of our
own citizens. In the name Of common sense
and for the interests Of our own country let us
have no more narrow-minded peddling about
this ocean telegraph business, but let the
liberal proposition Of Mr.. Stockton, to permit
any and all companies TO land cables on the
shores Of the United States. be adopted at
once.
