Correspondence New York .Tribune.l
A number of the Board Of visitors re-
Gently took breakfast with the cadets, in
order to see the condition of the dining
room and kitchen, and the fare which is
provided, together with the methods of
cooking. They found that the doors be-
tween the kitchen and dining hall were
kept open, without even screen between
them. The" potatoes which are used
were purchased in October last and many
of them are not eatable. The Pur-
veyor, who has been connected with
the Academy over thirty years,
purchased $4,000 worth of butter last
November at AZ cents pound. He also
owns land across the river, from which he
obtains fruit, ETC., charging his own price
for it. For everything which the cadets
buy. including all their clothing and
books, they are charged 10 per cent.
more than the ordinary price, and the
money thus gained is kept as fund for
repairing and erecting buildings. The
new commissary building, which was corr.
pleted and occupied in January, was built
from this fund at cost Of $4,000. 1t is
easy to see that very considerable
amount may be raised in this
way. The cadets are paid
$500 yearly, nearly all of which they
spend in board, clothing and other nee
essary articles. There are nearly $50
cadets here now, and ten per
cent of their yearly pay would amount to
more than $4,000. Another abuse was
found to exist in the increased charges
which are sometimes made. Last Sum-
mer there was a deficit in some fund, and
it was made up, charging seven cents for
washing white trousers, the ordinary
charge for which had been only four
cents.
The Board also deprecates the pro.
longed course of mathematics and thinks
a substitution Of logi; and rhetoric.
with exercises in defamation and compo.
sition, would be desirable. Nor does the
Board regard a complete knowledge Of
the art of drawing in water color a neces-
sary part of the Academy is considered
to be too strict and severe. The cadets
are trained in stiffness Of manner, and
lose all natural gracefulness. in the
forcible words of member Of the Board,
''They 60 around with an invincible ball
and chain on their ankles.'' The Board
rnanifests determination to expose all
abuses, and will show no mercy

The National Treasury Robbery.

A very curious circumstance has be-
come known in connection with the Treas
ury robbery. A few years ago $4,000
were stolen from the Treasurer office,
ard, upon the same day, it was discovered
that certain naneless gentleman with
several, friends visited the vaults. OF
this $4,000, $4,000 only was recovered.
This sum was placed by some unknown
parties to. the credit of the
Treasurer of the United States through Anew
York bank. No further clew to the robbery
was ever discovered. 1t happens that, on the
same day when thu 81, 900 were taken, this
very same gentleman, who went through the
vaults several years before when the $500
were taken, visited the vaults with severa
lar coincidence, but it is a fact Which has come
to the knowledge of the detectives, and which
is being considered by them.

Wrecked by lcebergS.

The steamship Germania, which arrived
at New York, Thursday, had on board
five scamen of the Dominion line steam
ship Vicksburg, from Montreal for Liver
pool, which was sunk by the ice Tuesday,
June LIST. The men were picked up June
5th, nearly dead from exposure, but since
then have been rapidly improving. They
tell a fearful tale of distress. Other boats
were launched with large number of
persons, but a greater number were seen
to perish without getting into the boats.
The Vicksburg went down in the midst
of ice, and this boat was surrounded by
icebergs and field of ice when picked
up. The other boats are not yet heard
from.
The five men rescued had their feet and
legs very much swollen-so much so that
their boots had to be cut from their fcct

A NIemento Of the War Recovered.

The iron safe of the U. S. man of war
Cumberland, sunk in Hampton Roads by
the Confederate ram Virginia in 1862, has
been recovered by Capt. Brown after a
search by different divers during the past
ten years. The lucky man had only been
at the wreck forty-eight hours when he
found the safe buried in three or four
feet Of mud. The water at that place is
70 feet deep. BY the explosion Of tor
pedo the safe was cracked, and when it
was hoisted on deck few pieces of gold
coin dropped out. 1t is believed the safe
contains between 100000 and 100000 in
gold. The safe and treasure belong to
Capt. Brown and 0. E. Maelly, of this
city, and Herbert Smith, Of Detroit.
While Capt. Brown was searching the
wreck he came across petrifed human
body IN perfect state. The Captain sup
poses the body to be that of an of icer, and
intends to return and get it.
