Poisonous Candy.

The Brooklyn Board of Health held
an important meeting at the corner of
Court and Livingstone streets yesterday
afternoon. About two months ago the
attention of the board was called to the
fact that large quantities of poisonous
candy, most of which came from Boston,
were sold OF various places in Brooklyn.
The subject was partially investigated
at the time and referred to the Sanitary
Committee of the Board of Health for
investigation and report. DR.. Hutchi-
son, Chairman of the Sanitary Commit
tee, has had the matter under investi-
cation ever since, and yesterday SUBJ
mitted long report, which affirms that
all the candy sold in Brooklyn is almost
wholly unfit for use, and is little better
than poison. The poisonous ingredi-
ents are, he says, introduced very ex-
tenslvely for the purpose of coloring the
candy and increasing the size of the
different kinds. There are 341 candy
shops in Brooklyn where this poisonous
stuff is sold to thoughtless children and
others ignorant of its dangers. The
magnitude of the task of discovering
and suppressing all the places where
this candy is made and sold is so great
that the Board of Health could not
grapp1e with it without incurring great
expense. The report says that it would
be necessary, in the first place, to
analyze the contents of the candy-shops.
This would require 10000 separate
analyses. Acompetentch chemists not
make more than ten of these examina-
tions each day, and without a careful
analysis he did not think the Board of
Health would be justified in commence
ing prosecution against the alleged
offenders. York World, Sept. 25.

Denonulatlon of Ireland.

The New York Worlds Dublin cor
respondent writes The population of
Ireland decreased by 1862, ,319 persons
between the years 1841-51, by us, ,S14
in the next decade, and by 396, ,208 be-
tween the years 1961-71. There is
reason to believe that this decrease by
the end of the present decade will
have wholly ceased, that is, that the
emigration will not exceed the natural
dition of the country is now really pros
porous. Wages have greatly advanced
in consequence of the limited supply of
laborers. The reform of the land law
has had most excellent effect, and not
unfrequently Irishmen return from
America with fortunes gained there to
take up their abode in their native land.
The aggregate investments in govern
ment stocks, joint-stock banks, and
savings banks in 1864 were ESD, ,S8S, 900 /;
but on the 30th of June, 1868. they
were e67, 1862, 900, an increase of % per
cent. in ten years. The value of live
stock in 1864 was ESQ, 728, 80; in 1874
it was e37, ,225, 887. It is to be remarked
that although in thirty years Ireland
has lost about g, 1000, 900 of her people,
the relative proportion of Catholics and
Protestants remains almost unchanged.
In Munster, in 1861, 938 out of every
!, 200 were Catholics the proportion
now is 936 to each 1000. In Kerry the
Catholics in 1861 were 967 in each
1000 they now are 968 IN 1000. In
'f Protestant Ulster-which is Prot
estant only in name-there were 751
Catholics in each 1000 in 1861, and
now there are 755 to each 1000. The
old faith does not die out, despite the
fact that the emigrants are for the most
part Catholics.

Resuscitating a Pan TALLY Drowned
Man.

The average Briton is not generally
credited with strong attachment to
theories. He is not sufficiently mercu-
rial to risk his life for the vindication
of a theory or propagation of an idea.
But one of them has been found, who
risked his life to teach others a method
of preserving it. It was one Prof.
White, champion swimmer, who con-
sented to drown himself in order that
his theory of resuscitation might be
tested for the benefit of the London
Humane Society, who were present to
down certain rules for holding drown
into the river-the Serpentine, probably
in Hyde Park-and remained under
water long enough to be partially
drowned. His son then dived after
him and brought him to the surface in
an apparently lifeless condition, adher-
ing strictly to the principles laid down
by his parent. The breathless body
was then turned over to one of the HUI
name Society's officers and put through
the course of treatment recommended
The society had the satisfaction of see
ing Mr.. White revive, and in a short
time return to the water without appar-
ent unpleasant consequences, thus
proving his theory by illustration at
the risk of death. Such experiments
with human life are not altogether wor-
thy of repetition, but the purpose served
was so single and humane that the So
ciety should at least add one more
medal to those worn by the daring
swimmer.

Bring Ont the Hose.

There was something malicious in
the smile of a Michigan avenue saloon
keeper yesterday as he dragged fifty
feet of penstock hose out on the walk,
turned on full head of water, and re-
marked to crowd of eight or ten boys
that they could wash the walk. He went
in and shut his door, and every boy in
the crowd jumped for that nozzle. An
old gent going by had his plug hat
knocked into the street, and when he
turned to demonstrate, the stream hit
him in the eye, down behind the collar
and on the back, and he galloped into a
grocery and wildly inquired for three
barrel shotgun and a hand grenade.
Each boy declared that he was going to
hold that nozzle, and each one tried to.
The stream hit the windows, then the
walk, then a hitching-post, and more
than once it slid down a boys back or
into his bootleg. A woman came out
of store just in time to get a dash
under the chin, and she fell over a box
aud shouted murder p in clarion
tones. A girl came along with baby
cart, and as she was chewing away at a
quid of gum and gaping across the
street, the water struck the baby in his
little stomach and poured down over
his little toes like q babbling brook
rushing to the sea. The struggle
among the boys lifted the stream TO the
window again, and the girl and baby
got away. A small boy ran across the
street to see what the matter was, and
he went back bowling, his hair dripping
and his ears filed full. A barber went
out to say to the boys that he'd have
'em locked up, and the water raked up
and down him, filed up his pockets and
wilted his shirt bosom, and he jumped
back into his door and said he'd like to
be Chief of Police of Detroit for about
six seconds, he would. Some of the
boys dropped out, discouraged at the
thought of what the :" old man would
say when they got home, but five or six
held on until they had wet up sack of
coffee. barrel of sugar, plunked a
small girl in the back and wet down a
drug clerk, and then the saloon keeper
came out and took the nozzle and ex-
claimed 'tPoysl Poys, if you don't
