THE EASTERN WAR DISPATCHES this morning
announce the capture Of AkPalanLa by the
Seryians after very severe engagement. They
arc also bombar,ling Nisch. and the fall of that
point will probably soon take place. This is
their first success in the war, and the effect Of
1t will undoubtedly be very great in encouraging
them to hope for still greater victories in the
fntare. The investment Of Erzcroum has almost

The policy Of the government toward the
Indians has always been illogical, and too

TIE IMPRESSION is gaining ground that Excise
Commissioner Murphy is now in Canadn, and
his friends assert that he will return TO the city
inside OF the next fortnight and straigLten out
his financial troubles. The fact that Murphy
has left property in danger by his absence
will. it is sad lead him to come back and refund
the deficiency now existing 1t is to be hoped
that such will he adopted, though it
should not relieve the absent Commissioner or
his associates from removal as public officers.

menaces Of rebellion, is still as unsatisfac-
tory as ever it was when they were not
engaged in actual outrage and pillage.
Under the latter circumstances the settlers
on the frontier may know that they must
defend themselves and their possessions to
desperation but under false appearance
of peace and good will they may be sur
prised at any moment in their fancied
security by an outbreak such as that Of the
Nez PercGs last summer. In very striking
letter from Montana the feeling Of the Ban
nocks and Shoshones toward the whites
is described as threatening deplorable
war, which may equal in importance
that which was waged by the Sioux
during 1876. It's cause is a series OF
grievances such as the later records Of the
Interior Department have been burdened
with only too frequently. The families last
winter suffered almost the horrors OF starva-
ton through the shameful default of the
government in furnishing rations which by
treaty were promised to them. Under such
misfortune they behaved with admirable
fortitudo but few Of the more reckless

How To Do 1t and How Not To Do It.

~
The proprietor Of Barren Island, re-
sponsible man. makes certain statements in
the HERALD to-day in relation to the dis
posal of the city garbage, which may afford
some light to the Mayor and to the Commits
sioners of Accounts should they be in
structed to make an examination of the
financial matters Of the Police Board. The
Police Commissioners have insisted that
they are unable to clean the streets be-
cause it is impossible to dispose of the city
garbage. Mr.. Swift shows ~ that some
months ago responsible contractor Of
fered to make q contract with the Commits
sioners to clean the streets thoroughly and
dispose of the garbage entirely for fifty
thousand dollars a month or ten thou
and dollars month less than it costs
the Commissioners to ilnperfectly clean
them and not get rid Of the garbage such
contract to be terminable from month
to month if the work should not be prop
erly performed. lo) That he has himself
offered to take all the garbage from New
York at his own expense and dispose OF it
in an unobjectionable manner for one thou
sand dollars year for ten years. (3( That
he is willing at his own expense, to take
from the city and dump on his own sunken
lands three thousand scow loads Of city
dirt, running the scows, dumping them and
returning them to the city to be retlled, at
his own charge and with his own labor.
But he says ~ that no attention was paid
to the contractors offer. ~ That his own
proposition to remove all the garbage and
dispose of it for the trifing sum of one
thousand dollars year was treated in the
same manner. (3) That Commissioner
Nichols has avoided him whenever he has
called at headquarters on the subject OF the
loads for his sunken lands.
These statements, if correct, tend to show
that the Police Commissioners are not
anxious to save the public money or to
relieve themselves of the difficulty under
which they profess to labor in regard to the
disposal of the city garbage. But Mr.. Swift
makes one other statement which demands
explanation or investigation. He hears
'sthat the Police Department is paying
twenty-one dollars scow-load for the
privilege of dumping at Pamrapo." This is
on the sunken lands Of the New Jersey Gen.
tral Railroad, where filling is SO much
wanted that the company has heretofore
gladly taken the city dirt there at its own
expense, as Mr. Swift stands ready to take
it now. Is it conceivable that the Police
Commissioners are paying twenty-one dol
lars or twenty-one cents o load for the
privilege of dumping stuff which any owner
of sunken lots would be glad to take at his
own expense, and for which many would be
willing to pay?

Chinese Lanterns.

A Chinaman and his lantern are in
separable. Let him start on any journey
which is likely to occupy him until sun
set, and his lantern will be the first
article that he lays on to carry with
him. Even on the brightest moonlight
night he considers it his duty to provide
himself with artificial light; and it is a
curious sight at large fire at night to
see the immense crowds which fill the
| streets, every man with his lantern held
aloft. Although the practice owes its
rise, no doubt, to the absence of any sys-
tenn of public lighting for the streets and
highways, the lantern has its use in dav-
light; suspended over doorways and
front shops, it declares the surname of
the proprietor within, in huge char
acters, and no respectable domicile is
without one. Indeed, all lanterns.
whether carried in the hand or other
wise, are inscribed with surnames of their
owners; so that while walking the street
at night man can always discern that
his friend, whether Jones or Robinson, is
approaching, long before his figure is
observable. Official persons show their
titles on their lanterns, not their names,
rule which is frequently abused by
vagabonds, who only have to show a
lantern inscribed "The Magistrate" to
be able to extract money from the weak
and unwary. Wealthy families and
official affect the large globular lantern;
the common classes smaller one of the
cylindrical shape. The characters are
always inscribed in red or black paint,
employed. Lanterns form an important
important adjunct in all professions,
idolatrous, hymeneal and funeral; and on
such occasions the larger the lantern, the
more imposing is its effect considered.

A Triangular Scrimmage.
Newburyport Herald.


A novel fight was witnessed in this
city few days ago between a rat, hen,
and rooster. A hen scratching near a
water-cask was suddenly interrupted by
a huge rat, aud neither would give way.
Finally the hen made pass with her
beak, which the rat lodged; and then
the rat made spring for her neck, which
was not a success. At this iuncture a
cluck from the hen brought up the
rooster, who, like a gallant cock, came
into the ring to take a hand himself.
Then commenced triangular scrimmage
with teeth and beaks The hen had sent
him one right in the smeller, which
seemed very much to anger the rat, who
gathered for spring on his antagonist,
which was prevented by the cock light
ing upon him and putting both spurs
into his body, performing the solemn
tragedy of hari-kari Not satisfied with
disemboweling their enemy, they picked
out his eyes and left him.

Mr.. DiOgenes.

This singular man lived in Greece
tie was distinguished for his eccentricities
bad manners, and bad disposition. 1t was
his chief business to find fault. For ex-
ample, he took lantern one day when the
sun was shining brightly and went out to
search for an honest man, thereby insinuat-
ing that such persons were exceedingly
scarce. When Alexander, a distinguished
military gentleman, paid him a visit and in
CURED what he could do for him, he had the
impudence to tell him to 'get out of his
sunshine" To cap the climax of his oddi-
ties, he dressed like beggar and lived in
tub, He was sour, grabbed, crusty
old bachelor We infer that he had no
wife, first, because history does not mention
her; second, because no woman would take
kindly to one of his habits, dress, or man
ners, or aspire to become mistress of his
mansion. There was an old woman. who
lived III "a Shoe" it is true, but the woman
who would live in tnb, and especially with
such companion, has not been heard from.
The misanthropic spirit which possessed
this man was doubtless due to disordered
Digestion and biliousness, one of the
prominent symptoms of which is a morose
fault-hnding disposition. The tongue is
heavily coated, giving rise to bad taste, the
appetite is not good, and the patient feels
dull, sleepy, or dizzy, and is apt to be fret
