THE GREAT BOAT RACE.
A Card from the Harvard Crew.

We have been often tempted by the mistakes
and misrepresentation in many of the published
accounts of the Oxford and Harvard boat race,
to unite in statement for the purpose of cor
recting the errors. But we have thought that
good taste, as well Us deep Judgment pre-
that HdrPer's Monthly Magazine, for
this month, contains an article, en-
titled "The University Rowing Match" the
writer of which seems to speak as by our autho-
rity. Styling himself the Secretary" of the
Harvard Four, he processes to "put the story
in the light in which it is regarded by the
actors themselves" AS we do not wish to be
thought to have broken our rule of silence, we
feel obliged to say that the article was not sub
mitted to any of u.s. nor were we consulted at
all in the matter. We are, therefore, in no way
responsible for the fact that an article on the
subject has appeared, or for the statements con-
made elsewhere, whether printed or oral, and
whether with or without an appearance of
authority.
We think we have q right to abstain from
specifying any errors, for were we to do so we
should allow ourselves to be drawn into the very
course we have avoided, by the mere fact that q
writer has, without authority, seemed to speak
for us. We trust and presume that the writer
did not intend to give the impression that he
spoke in our behalf, and that the sentence from
which we quote bears q construction stronger
than he was aware of.
Finally, we wish to say that we received the
best of treatment from the English people, and
were fairly beaten in the race. The only mem
Der of the crew who does not sign this paper,
Mr. Simmons, is in Europe, and we have not
had time to procure his signature.

officer to 204 men, distributed the entire coun-
try, from Alaska to the mouth OF the Rio Grande no
supply the deficiency thus created it has been neces-
sary to employ physicians under contract.
The experience OF the past three years has shown
that the present organization of the medical staff OF
the army is the best possible for the interests OF the
service, and that even were all the vacancies now
isting filled it would be barely adequate in numbers
to the demands OF our peace establish
ment. SC long as our extensive frontiers shall re-
quire garrsoned posts for their protection any re-
duction OF the Medical Corps below the minimum
established by the act of Congress OF July 2s, 1866
liking the military peace establishment othe United
States would prove prejudcial to the welfare of the
troops and the efficient discharge OF their duties.

BrOther-in-L n-Law-The Prisoners statement,
Special Despatch 10 The Epeniig Telegraph
SCRANTON, Pa, Dec. 11.-Last evening, about
o'clock, this community was startled by the
murder of man named Hugh Carmichael, who,
with his wife and four children, resided on
Wyoming avenue. The perpetrator of the deed
is n brother-in-law of the murdered man. named
William Crawford. The quarrel which led to
the murder was the result of dispute about a
board bill. Crawford stabbed Carmichael in
the neck, killing him almost instantly.
An interview with the murderer last evening,
after his arrest, ELECTED the following statements
which are substantially all the facts:-
"My name is William Crawford. ! am II years Of
age Been in this country since 1874. Lived most Of
the time in Burlington, " j. Have been in the
army. Belonged to the 4th New Jersey Volunteers

and kicked me. When ! reached the gate turned

The prisoner during this recital exhibited
considerable emotion. From all appearances it
is evident the murder was not premeditated.

A FOUNDLING.
EpisOde In a St. Louis Boarding -H0use-A An
Unknown Woman AbandOns Her Infant.

Unknown w oman AbandOns Her Infant.
The st, Louis Democrat of Dec. has the fol-
lowlng:-
An incident occurred yesterday at fashiona-
BILE clearinghouse which created quite an
excitement among the lady boarders. Yesterday
morning a strange lady, about twenty years of
age of fair complexion, with scar on her
check, rather strongly built, and wearing
brown dress ornamented with three black velvet
stripes at the bottom, and black shawl, applied
to Mr.. C.. Randle, corner Sixth and Elm streets,
and requested to be accommodated with board.
She had with her male infant about six weeks
old. She said her name was Gardiner, that her
husband was in Chicago, and would be here,
perhaps in a week, and perhaps not for three
months.
Mr.. Randall had some doubts about the
woman, but seeing that she appeared To be
friendless and unprotected, with baby in her
arms, he agreed to board her for few days. He
gave her a room aud had fire made for her.
In a short time she went out, saying she was
going on business She returned in short
time, and went out again in the afternoon and
did not return. On examining the room, the
baby and its clothes were there, but the baggage
of the woman was missing. The ladies of the
house visited the young stranger, and took great
interest in him. They looked among his effects
and found the following note, addressed to the
landlords

The loss is not yet ascertained. The safe is

the force of the explosion, and left most of their

abandoned the car. There is no further trace of
