Promoting Nuisances.

1t is wonderful how Indifferent our Board
Of Health, and all Of our honorable boards
for everything, are to the health. comfort and
convenience of the people. Wherever we
look there is commissioner failing to do his
duty or doing it to the detriment of the city.
Most of our officials seem to think it is their
mission to create or promote nuisances Our
streets are neglected until the slight rain
falls of the last few days are q stencil in
everybodys nostrils. Castle Garden was
fortunately eliminated from the Battery
Park and now the Commissioners of Emf
grafton are bent upon rebuilding the un-
slightly structure, in order that a terrible
nuisance may be maintained at the very
portals of the metropolis. Tompkins square
is in a worse condition than Tweed left it,
and the nuisance may continue for months ;
at least long enough to exclude the people
from this breathing spot during the
whole OF the present season. The fat
rendering establishments, slaughter houses
and petroleum works on the East
River are endangering the healthfuIness of
large part of the city and rendering the
public institutions on the islands almost
uncomfortable. Wherever we turn nui-
sance of some kind confronts us and an
apathctic public cndures what an apatnetic

From Clusters Home.

When aman, be he soldier or civilian, priest
or layman, leaves a memory which all who
knew him cherish with affection and pride,
the world is not far wrong in accepting the
sum of this regard as its basis for judging
that individual as man. Judged
by this standard the memory of Custer
stands high indeed. The old army officers
who knew him have testified to him rs
soldier; the friends of his manhood have
nature his aged father tells us, between the
floods of his grief, what brave, good boy
he was and now an old trooper, who rode
behind him for three years of hard fighting,
tells us story after story of the dead hero,
each bringing out some endearing or emo
and daring fighter, superb commander,
the beau ideal of chvalry, and the
news of his death shot through us like
an arrow; but as the story of the dead war
rior's career comes more fully before us he
takes on gentle attributes that make our
loved than for soldier we admired. The old
troopers story, elsewhere told, will be read
with kindling interest and may win a trib-
ute OF tears before the last line is scanned
Since the day that the death of General
Custer was announced the desire to
know all that could be known of his brave
career has been universal. Story after story
has come forth. but the golden haired cavalry
mans name grows brighter and fairer. The
touching letter from the old home where the
"brave, good boys" used to gather from time
to time, is an important addition to the
story Of his life.

The Meteor OF July 8.

From all parts of the country embraced
within an area Of say five thousand square
miles, and having New York as its centre,
accounts reach us of the appearance, at nine
o'clock P. NJ. on Sunday, July 9. of a meteor
of extraordinary size and brilliancy, which
seemed to the observers to follow general
direction from south to north. This re-
markable prenomenon was rendered still
more interesting by the fact that, at q certain
stage of It's fight through the heavens, it
exploded like monster rocket, and scat
tered fragments of its fiery mass in diverging
directions from it's line of fight. But these
pieces were of different colors, and pro-
duced, by their brilliant lights, due to me-
tallic combustion, the impression on per-
sons not familiar with the movements Of
meteorites that grand Centennial dis
play of fireworks was taking place some
where in their neighborhood. The collec-
ton Of clearly written and Ineligible ac-
counts which we publish regarding this
remarkable meteor will assist in locating its
true course through the heavens, because,
when we receive similar information from
westerly points, the angles of elevation sup
piled from different places as well as the
apparent directions of the meteoric course,
can be reduced to an angle and line that
will very nearly indicate the true elevation
and path of the volume or mass of combusti-
BILE gas or matter. The explosion which oc-
CURED during the apparently slow move
ment of the fiery centre seen on Sunday
night proves it to have been true meteoric
mass or aerolite. These wandering bodies
of matter revolve in space around the earth,
and as they travel with prodigious velocity
they take fire by friction with the air the
moment they enter our atmospheric en-
velope, and burn with extraordinary brill
iancy while passing through it toward the
earth, frequently bursting before reaching
terra .frn,a, as did that of July 0.

the matter through without delay. Now let

Tn. Custer Monument.

BY the time National Custer Monument
Association is properly organized the
HERALD hopes to have handsome sum to
accompanied by brief but pointed eulogies
of the dead commander, continues, proving
how deep is the grief for his loss and how
wide the desire to see his memory fitly
honored. They see in him soldier who
came out of the civil war full of honors won
by head and hand. With his name was as
sociated all that charms in the name of lion
hearted valor. He was the ideal
of the beau saJreur to the popular
eye, and when peace haply left ''old
Custer" rs Phil Sheridan endearingly called
him, no more squadrons of rebels to charge,
no more guns to take, the well known figure
was followed in its dashing flights over the
Western plains with no ordinary interest.
Now and again the old daring came out, for
when "deeds of high emprise" were called
for Custer was the man sought, and never
was he known to falter or fail. At last he
fell. In charge, the fash of whose sabres,
the fire of whose carbines and the forms
of whose troopers shall never grow dim,
he fell. He charged at the head Of his
column he fell where the last few
were dearly selling their lives In
savage valley and at savage hands he fell.
Had he fallen in the midst Of plain where
million spectators saw him go down he
and his troopers could not have died more
bravely. nor could the desire to honor his
memory and theirs be more sudden and
spontaneous. The fund already in our
hands reaches the sum Of 50, 800 81, of which
$146 rs were received yesterday. The poor
and the humble are doing their share Let
us now see that the rich and the well-to-do
are ready to make the figures march up
ward in proportion to their means. To
honor this brave mans memory is duty to
ourselves. Such devotion as his honors us
more than we can honor his name. Let all
classes prove worthy of the heritage; let
every one do his or her share, the rich as
we'll as the poor

The EXPLOSION of the English warship
Chunderers boiler was very fatal in its re-
uults. Thirty deaths have occurred and many
more are expected to follow. Itseems strange
indeed that brand new boiler should
thus explode, but as the great ship was
running trial trip on a measured mile
the boiler may have been tested beyond its
strength. The English Navy has been par
icularly unfortunate of late years. Among
the complete losses were those of the turret-
ship Captaia and the iron-clad Vanguard

Plano Frauds and the Exhibition.

Flano Frouds ana the Exhtbtt10ns
The letter from our Philadelphia CORE
spondent giving publicity to charges affect
ing the regularity of some of the awards at
the Centennial Exhibition, and especially to
alleged irregularities touching the pianoforte
exhibits, which we print this morning. will
give pain to all who are interested either in
the honor of the country or the impartiality
Of the judgments of the juries. The piano,
like the sewing machine trade, has become
an important branch Of industry within the
last few years, and no part of the furniture
of house permits such opportunity for
fraud in the manufacture and exorbitant
profits to the manufacturers as these neces-
sary appliances of modern domestic life.
For long time there have been ugly charges
of frauds in the piano trade, and even reputa-
BILE dealers and manufacturers were accused
of making and selling inferior instruments
with the names or limitations Of the names
of other dealers attached to them. Within
a fortnight the Decker Brothers of this city
were compelled to bring a suit against
another firm for initiating their firm name,
and the Steinways, Chickering's and other
makers have suffered in the same way. So
general had these abuses become that it was
almost impossible to tell bogus from gen.
uine piano, and great hopes were felt that
the awards of the judges at the Centennial
Exhibition would SO clearly fix the makers
of meritorious instruments that the others
would be driven from the trade If even a
tithe Of the charges which our correspondent
relates is true this hope also is to end In
disappointment. The allegations against
Schiedmayer and Kupka are SO specific that
any award made by them would be useless
unless it is shown that the charges are with
out foundation. If Mr. Schiedmayer makes
piano in imitation of the Steinways, or has
any business relations with that house, it is
manifestly unjust that he should sit in judg-
ment upon the merits of the instruments of
other makers; but we are loath to believe that
Mr.. George f. Bristow. who is included in
the charges against the judges, would do any
wrong himself in matter of this kind or
consent to it in others. 1t is not proper at
this time to express any opinion in regard to
controversy of SO much bitterness and SO
much importance, but simple justice requires
that before the awards are finally adiudi-
Gated the whole subject shall be carefully
canvassed and the truth or falsity of the
charges clearly established. 1t may be that
the whole controversy arises out of the jeal-
ousies Of rival manufacturers; but whatever
may be the state of the case it must be fully
understood. The judges cannot afford to
rest under these imputations- --imputations
almost certain to come from the disappointed
manufacturers in any event-and the sue
cessful makers will not find it to their inter-
est to rest content with their awards unless
the charges are disproved or shown to be in
capable of proof

Who Slew Custers

Who killed Custer? Answer, the Indian
Bureau. See here. Lieutenant John Car
land, of Company B, Sixth infantry. serving
with General Gibbon, writes from the scene
of Clusters last battle:-"These Sioux were
all from some agency, as we found camp
equipments that had never been used; also
blankets that were new and branded u.
S. Indian Department.
That tells sufficiently who killed Custer.
But if it did not the mourning among the
women, children and old men at the reser.
vations after Clusters battle tells the same
ghastly story. The. celebrated peace policy
of General Grant, which feeds, clothes and
arms the Indians and takes care of their nom
combatant force while the men are killing
our troops-that is what killed Custer and
his gallant men. That nest of thieves,
the Indian Bureau, with its thieving
agents and its favorites as Indian traders.
and its mock humanity and pretence of
piety-that is what killed Custer. In order
that some favorite of the President or some
other person in high place may make money;
in order that the thieving crew, encouraged
by the Indian Bureau, may go on swindling.
Custer and his poor fellows must die And
in the House of Representatives S. s. Cox
and Professor Seelye plead, in the name Of
humanity, that the swindling and the killing
shall not be stopped. And in the Senate the
fear of losing little patronage defeats ths
wise project for turning the Indians over to
the War Department What does the coun-
try think of it?
The popular indignation felt at the supply
of arms of the most approved patterns to
Indians to be used in murders and massa-
cres of our citizens and our troops is at
tested by the numerous letters we are re-
ceiving on this subject We print intelli-
gent specimens in another part of to-day's
