tSwill NIilk-A Aickeuiux Story.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Brooklyn Eagle
has discovered the existence just beyond the
limit CT the city in stables filled with filth and
dirt packed together in the closest possible
space and in all conditions of disease, 800 cows
fed upon hot swill emptied from an adjoining
dstillery. Some of the COWS are toOthless,
others blear eyed, others have fostering sores
upon their legs and udders. Some are so bloat'
ed with dropsy they have to be propped up TO
be prevented from falling down never to rise
again. Others are so canaverous from diseases
their bones protude from their flesh All have
the abbreviated tail, incised as an in ocuating
process to modify the acuteness and intensity
of the disease which results from the imbit:o n
of the swill. In the stable there was no venti-
lation except the air that struggled through
the doors No light was visible between the
boards. The ceilings Were low, and cows stood
knee deep in mud and filth which abounded on
every side.
The Eagle publishes the names of several
who peddle the swill milk to the amount or
1000 quarts daily as "Orange County" Pure
Putnam County" and "Long Island' milk to
retail dealersIaud citizens of the two cities.
The number of swine luxuratiug on the
nourshment obtained from the swll could not
be ascertained. Their pens fringed all sides OF
the buildings, and gave evidence that citizens
obtained much of their 'corn fed" pork from
this locality,

The tone of the Wool market remains pretty much
as noted st week. All the flne WOODS are in a lair
demand both domestic and foreign as some of our
manufacturers are forced to purchase more or less
every week to keep their machinery running. Buv-
ers are purchasing however, only for present wants
as the goods market Is still quite discouraging and
Tor any line Of Wool that Is not really wanted the
market is dull.
In New York, contrary to expectation, the market
has closed this week active for all descriptions Man
ufacturers in town complain of the light assortment
and poor quality of the supply here, all choice lots
having been disposed of some time previous
In philadelphia the activity noted last week has
materially subsidized. The stoch, pa tcularly of fine
fleece, is not only reduced to low figure but is con-
centrated in few hands, There has been very little
demand from local and Eastern manufacturers, and
at the close prices were feeble.

A MAN WITHOUT CoUNTRY.-On a Dan
ism vessel in the harbor, an American sailor
from Bristol in this State, by name of Nelson
Upham, nearly sixty years of age, lies seriously
i'll. Both the city and the Marine Hospital de-
cline to receive him, under their rules, without
bond from the captain of the vessel for his
maintenance, which he declines to give. The
City Physician says that he can recover if tax
Ell to hospital where care and good nursing
could be had, but that he cannot recover on
shp-board. The captain also refuses to take
him to sea in his present condition. As the I'M
fortunate man has been an American sailor
for over thirty years, and has paid his regular
contribution to the Hospital fund during the
most of that period. there seems a peculiar
hardship in excluding him from the Marine
Hospital, though the managers may be pro.
tected by their instructions in refusing him ad.
mission. In fact the poor fellow seems likely
to die of red tape complicated with his othel
maladies. We hope that Collector Washburn
will feel justified in taking hold of the matter
with his accustomed energy and effectiveness
which will ensure solution of the problem in
a way consistent with humanity and Chris
tan civilization, by opening the doors of the
Marine Hospital to this old American seaman
who is temporarily on a foreign vessel.

BRoNcHITIs.-This is an irritation or infam-
nation of the bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lung. 1t arises from a
cold settled in the throat, from catarrh extend
ing to these parts, rom scrofulous affections,
and from severe uses of the voice. The rrita-
tation from this latter cause commences in the
larynx and CLOTHS, which are the organs Of the
voice. and extending downwards, produces
hoarseness, coughing and splitting mucous
matter, sometimes mixed with blood.
1t is chiefly dangerous from its tendency to
spread into the lungs, and terminate into coz
sumption. 1t is in the cure of severe and obsti-
nate cases of this disease that DR.. S. d. HOwe's
