HORRIBLE PICIURE.-One of those fashy
pictorial sheets, published a thousand or
more miles from here. produces full page
picture which is quaint and impossible.
Several young women, in something less
than Black Crook costume, are assembled
around what is possibly intended to repre-
sent the head of an alligator. One of the
undressed maidens has her head between
the beasts wide spread jaws, while another
Of the bareback holds bowie knife, the
sharp point close to the monsters left eye,
as if threatening its sight. Beneath the
picture is a legend stating that young
woman in Opelousas, Louisiana, has sue
ceeded in tanning an alligator. The picture
is horrid affair, and had it not been used
twice previously for other representations
would have been bad enough at best. Our
readers are informed that most of these
stale wood cuts are manufactured from
miserable imaginations, and the less our
people gaze at them the better.

ALABAMA COAL.-MOre than three months
ago a consignment consisting of thirteen
car loads Of coal was brought here from a
mine in Alabama, more for an experiment
than anything else, as the owners were
well posted as to the great difficulty of
Introducing a new article into this city, SO
much to the discredit of our citizens. A
few buckets Of it were taken by gentlemen
who were willing to give it a test, but that
was about all the encouragement given.
Even the question as to price was seldom
asked, and consumers seemed purpOsely to
avoid it, simply because it was new pro-
duct and untried. Doubtless had this same
coal been transferred to tlatbOats and
offered as from Pittsburg mines, sale
would have been readily consummated.
After remaining on the cars three months,
the consignment was advertised for sale at
auction, and would have been sold at al
most any figure offered. Mr.. c. A. Milten-
berger purchased the lot, and it will 90 to
the gasworks, where fair test will be
made as to it's worth in producing gas The
interested parties are anxious to show its
capacity as fuel, as compared with other
samples, and they feel confident that, al
though this is not the best specimen Of the
Alabama mines, it will make favorable
comparison. Its qualities are believed to
be fully up to the required standard. An
analysis OF the coal shows the following re.

Loss OF the Hcnrfetta-Cast Away Near

Private advices from the Governor Of the Bay Of
Islands mention the loss Of the famous schooner

encountered soon after leaving port she driven

saved. At the time Of the disaster the Henrietta
was engaged in the fruit trade, but she won the
laurel garland Of victory by defeating the cele-
brated yachts vesta and Feetwing in the great
ocean yacht race from New York to Cowes in 1866.
She was built by Henry Steers, OF Greenpoint, L.

NEW YORK, JAM 4, 1878.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
have read with interest the discussion In your
columns on superheated steam. This looks like
another grand victory for the HERALD, in enlight-
ening engineers on this most important subject, for
do believe that 900 engineers out of every 1000
read the HERALD, and WILL 1 am certain, highly
appreciate this discussion, although the subject
has already been mixed up considerably by
Messrs. Van DE weyde, Plimpton, Wizard, NC
Spedon and others. SO humble engineers like
myself must be content with the old proverb.
"When doctors disagree" DC. The suggestion OF
MIR. McSpedon in procuring hall for lecture and
discussion Tor those parties who are most in
terested Is a very good one. but l fear long way
of. In the mean time would suggest q practical
experiment, to wit-go where those heaters are
employed bank the fires, put every thing in con-
dition, as things were the night OF the IRE in
Barnums s, then insert q Thermometer in the pipes
and ascertain what temperature is Contained
therein. hardly expect 400 degrees, which ia

nearly half a million dollars, for alleged

Tierney was the winner. He had his nose

Monetary market improving. The banks
to-day were offering money more freely to
leading bankers at per cent, and the supply
of loanable capital is steadily incre ,sing
In the early part of the day money was
worth l6 per diem, but during the after
noon there was gradual decline in rates
and before three o'clock terms were made
at 6G7 per annun. After that hour money
offered at to 5, but accounts were generally
made up before three, and therefore these
low rates could not be availed Of Ex-
change dub and weak to-day, quotations
for actual business being 83s. Gold opened
at ll74a q ll73e, sold up to III %, closed at
II7h 0ll7sa. Loans were | to coin for

A woman, crazy from religion and sick
nese, strangled her two children and then
roasted them on q stove. Her eldest child,
five years old, was asleep in the adjoiniD 2

horrible.
Two children on Staten Island died from

Sixteen valuable horses, belonging to

TIE Beard OF Health nnd the CeMulaa
Council.

a few weeks ago the Board of Health was
reconstructed. As provided in the qaaran-
tine law, the appointment Of six was vested
in the Governor. while three were elected
by the City Council. At the assembling of
the board fortnight ago, for the purpose
of reorganization, the three gentlemen
elected by the Council announced *hem-
selves as candidates for the Office of sani-
tary inspectors under the control Of the
board. Tive of them were elected. This
action of the board of necessity creates two
vacancies in the beard, which the City
Council will of course be called upon to I'LL.
The two departments of the city govern
ment which are brought into the closest re-
latienship with the Board of Health, are
those Of Improvements and Police. Would
it not be we'll for the Council to designate
the two Administrators, Messrs. Lewis and
Brewst as members of the boardf There
is absolute necessity for harmonious and
reciprocal action between the city govern
ment and the Board Of Health in all mat
sers pertaining to the salubrity Of the city,
the Abatement of nuisances, and the pre-
vention of epidemic disorders; and all the
powers to that end, not possessed by the
board are vested in the Administrators in
Question. Gentlemen Of the Cuuncil, think
of it

RECORDERS, COURTS.
Open frem 2 a. Al. to 6 p, NJ.

Ordinance No 2O96, adopted by the City
Ceanei! at its last meeting, provides tina:
hereafter the recorders of this city shall
open their courts at seven o'clock in the
| morning, and keep the same open for the
transaction of business until elk O'Clock in
the evening.
This action of the Council is most Judi
eioUs and praiseworthy. Heretofore, the
recorders have, many of them, conducted
their offices as though they were the mas
ters and not the servants of the people.
Frequently sith dock full of prisoners,
the result Of the previous aight's vigilance
Oh the part of the police, and with q court
room full OF officers waiting 10 appear
against those they have arrested, it has
been ten OF even eleven o'clock before the
recorder went upon his bench. Thus the
officers, having been up ali night, we're de-
prived Of their rest during the best part Of
the day, and when they went upon their
beats again we're in an unfit condition %
perform their duty, and, if not found by
their corporal sitting down and asleep from
sheer exhaustion and want of rest, were at
least Indifferent about taking ia prisoners,
which act would compel them o. under.
go again she annoyanoes Of the previous
day.
Again, the prisoner, perhaps arrested for
q simple drunk" as il the case With four
on. Of five, having slept off his deeauch, ap-
pears sober before the magistrate remained
in the dock until the day vas half gone
before his case could be disposed Of. II q
DO )r lab oriag nan-for all others are better
trested-he not only loses days work,
but often his situation. Thus the custom
heretofore obtaining has worked iDjustice
to both officer and prisoner.
Under the new law, by the time the nighs
platoons have come in from their beats to
the cap room, and the men have answered
roll call, they will 60 at once into court,
the recorder will try and dispose Of the
arrests of the mig ht, and the officers having
got through with their cases are dismissed
until their time comes to 60 on duty again
al night The unfortunate occupant Of the
cell has paid his fine and gone to his work,
or is remanded back TO the lookup to await
the arrival of the BLACK Maria.7 which
transfers him TO more comfortable quarters
in the Workhouse or Parish Prison.
Again, under the new law, persons who
have occasion to appear ia court to make
atfidavits or procure the issuance of writs Of
arrest will find hereafter the officers of the
courts On duty during the day to suit their
convenience, and will not be compelled tC
go aud come again on any pretexs Of office
hours.
The police force, as well as the public
are under obligations TO Mr.. Brewster, Ad
minlstrstsr OF Police, for this genuine ''re
form" measure.
