than they we're when the Legislature met in
January.
The one important act passed by this Leg
islature is the last Rapid Transit BILL for which
Governor Tilden must be awarded his due
share Of praise. His known approval Of this
bill and his urgent desire to have it passed
was a chief element Of its great strength
IN the Legislature. 1t relates to sub
ject Of which Governor Tilden is
perhaps the best judge and safest adj
wiser in the State, and his known indorse-
ment secured the easy passage Of the
bill. He also behaved handsomely in relation
to the principal amendment made in it after
its introduction. When the power to appoint
the commissioners was transferred from the
Governor to the Mayor Mr.. Tilden made no
opposition and expressed his entire acquies-
cence. The city owes him thanks for the
wise exertion Of his influence and if we
really get rapid transit under this law a
great part Of the credit viii be due to Gov
ernor Tilden

Humbug Rerorm-Acts. Not Words.

1t il mere idle chatter for the Commission
ers Of Charities and Correction to pretend
that they can find no immediate remedy for
the sanitary imperiections Of the institutions
on Bnckwelrs Island. In our prison econ
omy nothing can be more important than the
considerations which affect the health Of the
inmates In this regard the prison on Black
wells Island is utterly deficient. large
number Of prisoners are huddled together ia
single cell, where they are kept for many
hours in stencil that is mildly described
when il il called sickening. The representa-
tive Of the HERALD, who made lie experiment
or an amateur convict told a story Of the
horrors Of night ia one Of those cells which
makes the blood curdle when the scene he
describes is recalled And now we are told
the wrong cannot be righted because the
buildings were originally 80 constructed
as to preclude the possibility OF
water closets being introduced into them.
This is the merest nonsense. and it will
impose on nobody. Are tho Commits
sioners willing to retain a barbarous sys-
TEN for tie purpose Of avoiding An expense
rendered necessary by incomplete and IN
healthy sanitary conditions They must not
persist in policy 50 unwise. II has been
conclusiyely shown that the prison On Black
well Island under present circumstances, Is
unfit for the habitation OF human beings, and
because most 81 the inmates are vile as well as
unfortunate the officials il the Board OF
Charities and Correction will not bo justified
il retaining the present sanitary evils for the
mere purpose q saving a few dollars The
pubic look to The Board fox many necessary
reforms Id the management Of our public in
suuHons and il the conduct q the subordi-
nate officers who have them in charge and
the Commissioners cannot avoid tho r-sponsi-
bility that is imposed upon them.

Our Washington dispatches show that the
negotiations with the Sioux Indians are to be
delayed, the presence Of young Man-Afraid-
of-His-H rses," the hereditary chief Of the
tribe, being required in the capital before the
agreement can be made secue. II is ex-
planned that the Sioux have no legal claim
upon the government for food, the treaty
which guaranteed such supplies 70 them having
expired by limitation two years ago. But this
does not justify the statement that the Indians
have no cause for complaint. The govern
ment has admitted moral duty BY appro-
priating last year twelve hundred thou
sand dollars, and this year eleven
hundred thousand, for their support The
Sioux have perfect, indisputable right 70
complain if they IRE cheated out Of this appro-
pration. II Is just as much their money by
Git al il could be by treaty. Besides this,
the American people have some in

terest in the matter. If they spend
twenty-three hundred thousand dollars
In benevolence they want to see the
result There can be no apology offered for
the dishonesty of the agents who have
swindled at once the Indians, who are the
wards OF the government, and the government
OF which they are the servants. The people
do not care whether the appropriations to the
Sioux tribe are gratuity or payment. They
want them to be honestly expended, and have
too much reason to believe that they have
been stolen. Who did the stealing? is the
question we want answered.

A sunday in view York.

Heaven smiled yesterday upon the metropo-
lis-reluctantly, perhaps yet with mild
ness for which i should DO grateful. Some
times we think men are not sufficiently
thankful for such day as yesterday, when the
skies are a living blue and the sun an ineffable
fame, when the trees seem to leap from buds
to blossoms, and on the vague horizon, be-
yond the warm, dancing waves, they see the
bridal Of the earth and SKY. 1t was a day Of
all days, child Of the spring and summer,
and resembling both its father and mother.
George Herberts description Of such q time,
to which we have alluded, is too beautiful not
to be quoted g.
Sweet day, 20 cool, so calm 40 bright,
Inc bridal OF tue cart ana SKY

For thou must die.
II seems special gift Of Providence when
such delicious weather crowns the Christian
holiday. Ia the secular week it is tantalizing
to the workers 10 q great city, who, in fac
tories and stores and crowded streets, see the
hours pass away and know that labor shall
only end when the night begins. But on

The Foe in the CitadeI-The Duty
OF Our Board or Health.

II is a suggestive fact and one for which we
have good cause to blush, that just at the
time when Rome is preparing to drain the
Campagua and protect the city from malaria
New York should be creating bed Of pesti-
lence and death within its limits. The CON
trlst between the two cities is humiliating TO
rs. The Americans affect to look good
naturodly upon the Italians as degenerate
nation, and boast Of their own enterprise in
Italy, nor indeed IN all Europe, which would
permit such an outrage as has been perpe-
trated on the Harlem Oats.
The filling up Of these flats was necessity;
but it has been done in the most disgraceful
way Organic matter, filth, decaying sub
stances, were used by the contractors, and
this pestilential mass was then thinly covered
by earth. This is what is called reclaiming
the Harlem flats, but it is really the ruin
ing of the health OF New York.
1t is because we believe that the whole city
must be tainted by this mmensebed ofgarbage,
and that the heat Of the summer will breed
disease from its depths that the HERALD, by
close ana thorough investigation, mas SHOWN
to the Board Of Health what plague spot
exists in the bounds ofits jurisdiction. The re-
sponsibiity now rests upon the authorities
who have been fully informed, and are again
informed to-day, Of the nature of the evil. We
want this filth removed or placed 50 far be-
meath good soil that it shall cease to offend our
nostrils or threaten the city with disease. All
future dumpings must be done under the
closest supervision. There should be no de-
lay in abolishing this colossal nuisance, which
ignorance and neglect created, and which
only criminal recklessness can tolerate The
summer is almost here, and there is no use Of
quarantine in the lower bay if we permit
more dangerous enemies than the cholera or
yellow fever to attack the citadel OF the
metropolis

Staten Island, the bay, Yonkers, the lair
Sound, to the church, Nature has its claims
as well as theology, and there is "a church
not made with hands which on such an
occasion finds countless worshippers
There is no more convincing proof OF the
power Of religious oratory than the fact that
SO many persons resist all the manifold seduc-
tons Of nature on such days and yield to the
superior attraction of ecclesiastical worship.
1t should not have surprised any one if all the
churches had been empty yesterday. Yet they
were well filled, and who can say whether the
attendants were not recompensed for the sac
rfce of their carnal instincts Those who
heard the elements of true devotion
analysed by DR.. Chaplin probably pitied
the members Of the church who
were absent. The beer Of Staten Island
or Weehawken could hardly have compen-
stated the Mohammedans, Christians, Bud
dhists and Fire Worshippers who attend upon
Mr.. Frothingham's lectures for missing his
discourse upon the faithfulness Of God. The
Friends at their meeting house, bore testi-
mony to the superiority Of spiritual to ma
terial enjoyment st. Patricks Cathedral
was crowded with worshippers, who were
consoled for the loss Of an expected sermon
by Cardinal McCloskey by the preaching of
tho Rev. Mr.. Farley. The Rev. DR.. Hep
worth discoursed eloquently upon the promise
Of the gift Of the Holy Ghost, and
the Reformed church of Thirty-fourth
street listened to the words OF its former
PASTOR the Rev. Mr.. Stryker, upon free
salvation. Mr.. Beecher preached in the unre-
formed Plymouth church, and other eminent
cergymen found their hearers as attentive az
if nature did not whisper, "Come again, ye
children of men," When we reflect upon the
worldly attractions which this city offers to
the seekers of pleasure, and that the week has
one day only when the opportunity can be
used, the wonder is not that Christians are SO
few, but that all the people Of New York ara
not pagans. That minority are not is I'M
doubtedly due to the influence of the metro
politan clergy, to which unlimited acknowl-
edgme Mt should be made.

g~ooseberries mostly mildew, but near Mont
real there are bushes of the Whitesmith,
thirty years planted, which have never mil

This sort. Green Ocean, and Crown Bob, all

These fruits are profitable for market.
Houghton's fiourishes everywhere, bearing
enormous crops without mildew, but the
smallness of the berry is an objection. One

four feet apart each way, or2,5O to the acre,
sold his crop at fifteen cents per quart, and
realized at the rate of ST 900 per acre. This
is at the rate of 2O6 bushels per acre. 1t is
