THE DISTINCTION OF THE FRANCo-PRUs-

OF last year to labor at the disinfection of the
great battle fields lying near the frontier of
Belgium. A number of distinguished doctors
and chemists were detailed to work on the
commissioners report, and Dr. Lante has lust
published, at Brussels, some of the results.

first layer OF corpses was saturated with acids
OF peculiar nature; then this was thickly
sprinkled with chloride of Fine. The saturat-
ed earth clinging to the corpses was then scat
tered as much as possible between the lower
layers OF bodies; melted tar and chloride of
lime were allowed to filter through all the
crevices, and the whole was then fred with
straw wetted with petroleum. The quantity
OF tar necessary varied according to the impor.

from 25O to 800 men, half dozen hogsheads Of

men. The intensity of the caioric was so
great that three hundred corpses were totally
consumed IN fifty minutes. No disagreeable
After the burning, the contents of the bitches
were reduced by three-quarters, and the resi-
due was composed of calcined bones enyeloned
in wrapping of DRY tar. As soon as the On

With quick lime; then the mound was covered

to April %, this work went on in the neigh

The Prince of Wales takes every occasion
to snub his brother-in-law, the MARQUIS of
Lorne. Wales utterly refuses to receive bis
sisters husband as member of the roval fam.
ily' and at the state ball, recently, gave orders
that the marquis should not be admitted at
the royal entrance. He was accordingly re-
fused admittance, and the princess declined to
enter without her husband, saying that her
place was where he was. The marquis would
not take the princess in by the general public
entrance, and the result was that they did not
attend the ball.

The New York Times of Monday contains
a copy of the bill of Andrew ]. Garvey Tor
plastering and repairs done to the new Court
house. There can be no doubt in respect to
the authenticity of these accounts as they are
exact copies and Mayor Hall and Controller
Connolly do not attempt to deny it. The
Times says:
We publish today the account of Andrew ].
Garvey, for plastering and repairs, done chief
y to the new Court-house-for it is surpris-
ing fact that although the new Court house is
not yet finished, and large sums of mercy are
voted every now and then for its completion,
hundreds of thousands have already been
spent in repairing it. When a man is build.
ing a house he does not usually expect to
have long bill from the architect for repairs
but Messers. Hall and Connolly had no
hesitation in signing the warrants for the
work done, or supposed to be done BY An
drew j. Garvey. 1t will be observed that the
same carelessness with regard to dates shown
in these wonderful accounts extends even to
the persons in whoes names the checks were
supposed to be made out. Thus OH Dec. %,
1869, a check was drawn for $33 2S3 in favor
OF one "Fillippo Donarumma." This was in
dorsed by "Philip F. Dummey"-probably a
name which was much more appropriate to
oiO IahooNoiou tudu Iudt vi DOudrutD1nd.
Three days atterward another check for $685.
129 so was made out for Donarumma, and
this time it was Endorsed "Phillip Dummin."
The confusion in the minds of Connolly and
Hall with regard toDonarumma, or Dummey,
or Dummin, was of little consequence, seeing
that the checks were also Endorsed by A. J.
Carney, So THAT we may conclude the money
found its way into the the hands for which it
was intended.
AS G. S. Miller is the luckiest carpenter in
the world, so Andrew ]. Garvey is clearly the
prince of plasterers. His good fortune sur
passes anything recorded in the "Arabian
Nights" On one day, July 2, 1869, he re-
ceived for plastering and repairs no less than
$45,966 S9-that is to say, warrants were
made out in his name for that amount. His
total receipts that same month from Connolly
and Hall were $153, 755 14--not bad months
returns for pasterer. He beat that, how
ever, in May, 1870, when he was lucky enough
to receive 1894 GA 57-all for work done in
the new Court House. He beat that again
in the following month (June) when his
work for part of two months appears to
have been worth $945, lis IL. June being
thus pretty well "played out" the signers OF
the warrants deemed it best to jump back to
April-a month which they appear to have
thought that they had neglected. They be-
gan by paying Mr.. Garvey for two days re-
pairs, thus:
