novel case in correction with the postal
laws has come up before the United States
circuit court in New YORK. Ia June last a
Mr. Michels took a book weighing twenty
one and half ounces, and aft xed to which
were stamps amounting in value to eleven
cents TO the post Office for transmission
through the mails TO Philadelphia. Post
master James declined TO receive it, claim
ing that under the law IL should pay postage
at the rate of one cent for every ounce or
traction thereof, and that consequently the
necessary postage was twenty-five, instead
of eleven cents. Mr.. Michels applied to the
court above named Tor a mandamus TO COM
pei Postmaster James TO forward the book
for eleven cents. The case came up on We'd
Gesday for argument, when counsel for Mr..
Michels claimed that the eleven cents post
age which had been affixed TO the package
was sufficient to carry IL under the act of
June sd, 1874, (the old law;) and that the
amendment Of this act was unconstitution-
al, inasmueh as 1t was a revenue measure,
and should have originated in the House OF
Representatives instead of the Senate. The
United States statute, he said, provided that
all bills for raising the revenue shall origin
ate In the House of Representatives,, bat the
Senate may propose or concur with the
amendments, as on other bills. Assistant
United States District Attorney Tremain
argued that the court had no jurisdiction,
both parties to the suit being residents of the
same state, and this not being a case arising
under the constitution or laws of the United
States. He further held that outside OF the
district of Columbia, the circuit courts have
10 power TO grant mandamus as an origi-
nal writ. He also held that a mandamuS
was not the proper remedy In an action for
damages against the postmaster. The court
reserved its decision.

Tweed's lawyers have finally got his
S6oc0,C60 suit before the state court OF ap-
peals. The New York World calls attention
10 the fact that thus far not a word has been
said with regard 10 the merits of the action,
and that the only public benefit this tedious
and costly tight can bestOw, is TO show the
weak points in our Jurisprudence, by show
ing how long clever lawyer can stave off
the restitution of the stolen money gu. Of
which he is raid.

How Houses are Poisoned.

Thus far public expectation has not been
disappointed In the character of the papers
read before the American Public Health As
kociation, which closes its session in Balti-
more this evening. On Wednesday last,
Gen. Egbert L. Viele read paper on the i'm
portant subject of city drainage and water
supply. He took the ground that no house
is absolutely free from the contamination OF
sewer gases, and asserted that "no trap or
other conJrivance has yet been invented to
prevent the gases of al unventilated sewer
from penetrating into the houses along its
route" He also believed that "there is not
one man in ten thousand who can tell whe-
ther or not the soil-pipe of his residence has
trap connecting 1t with the street sewer,
nor is there one instance in a thousand where
such trap is In existence" The ventilation
OF sewers ought to be Secured in some way.
either by the leaders of houses, or by special
conduits connected with the exterior of pub
lie buildings. 1t would be an easy matter to
connect a ventilating system with the public
Iamp-posts, by means of which an induced
current would be in operation through the
entire night, thoroughly exhausting the foul
air. This poison must escape somewhere
If il is forced into the house pipes it will
come through the wash basins, the bathing
tub, and the water-cloSets, diRusing itself
through the atmosphere OF the sleeping apart
of the night. Gen. Viele recommended the
adoption Of the pneumatic system as used
successfully in Holland, and during his ad-
dress exhibited segment Of a lead pipe ter
ribly cOrToded by nOxioGS gases, a hole being
eaten entirely through at one point.
This matter of the poison introduced into
dwelling houses through sewer connections
with wash-stands and wateT-clOsets, is one
attracting a good deal OF attention just now.
and il seems to be conceded that the so called
craps which the public has confidingly
supposed served to efectually intercept
sewer gases, are practically worthless. So
well settled is this alarming fact that in
New York the owners of some OF the
most costly houses on Fifth avenue are stop.
ping OF all the drainage connections be-
tween the interior rooms and the sewers
and are returning to the use of the wash
basin and ever in vogue before the day OF
the so called "mOdern improvements"
which carry the seeds of disease into the
sleeping room. at the same time they are
discardiDg the chamber water closets, for the
same reason, and are building them outside
OF the dwelling house. or where they can be
ventilated by means of exterior windows or
by pipe through the roof.
