caYr,er Pigeona as Tobacco smuggiers.

An ingenious use OF carrier pigeons
Ia on record. They were employed in
belgium to smuggle tobacco into
France. Each bird carried from ten
to fifteen grammes of the weed, and
two dozen pigeons per day were regu-
Iarly dispatched. How long the rev
industry had been established Is not
stated but ore day It came to grief. A
bird was too heavily loaded, AMI he
dropped with his burden, exhausted,
into the Seine. A police inquiry re-
suited, aud the whole business was ex-
t,osed. French scientists are now dis
cussing the question whether the bird
was merely overloaded, or whether the
tobacco, heated by the warmth OF the
animal, poisoned 1t.

They are dreaming of state fsiege;

and their fires. But the Police Department,
like mighty monarchy with trained troops
crushed out the feeble Health Department
in one desperate onset
In every possible particular this is
"wasteful and ridiculous excess" For the
mere items Of rent and Office expenses the
city might be spared very considerable
sum if this were changed, as it should be.
The functions of the Department of Health,
the Excise Department and the Department
of Buildings are strictly police duties, and
they should be made bureaus of that
department, while the Department of
Docks and the Department of Parks
have no duties not obviously included within
the sphere of the Department of Public
Works. With such consolidation made,
and with the heads of the departments that
would remain made subject to the Mayor
and appointed by him-not by his prede-
cessor-we would have a reasonably efficient
administration, and this we will not have
until changes in the direction indicated
have been made.

of thousands Of people without knowing
what he is doing. Yet such is Judge
Donohue's own explanation of this singular
matter. An order to show cause why re-
ceiver should not be appointed for a great
moneyed corporation affects its credit very
seriously, implies the danger of its bank
ruptcy and creates panic, not only among
those Immediately interested, but through
out the entire financial circle. A judge is
certainly reprehensible for signing such an
order Inadvertently. Such practice In
the Supreme Court might be productive OF
very serious evils.

We thank heaven that the above term with
its terrible adjective is not of our own max

some of our indignant correspondents.
Lovely woman has been known to enter the
crowded street car omnibus or ferryboat,
contemplate with impatient eye the rows of
men who preserve their statue-like calm
ness and obliviousness in spite of demands
which are no less positive because they are
voiceless, and then she has been heard
to comment in vigorous English upon
the selfishness of the sex which
does all the voting. The angry cor
respondents certainly have some cause
for complaint. The awards of courtesy
can never change custom into right, and
the male purchaser of seat has often as
good physical cause of objection to standing
as woman herself. If ladies must relieve

A Judicial Inad vert enCy.

Considerable excitement was occasioned
in financial circles yesterday by the state
ment that an order had been granted by
Judge of the Supreme Court requiring the
President, managers and company of the
Delaware and Hudson Canal Company to
show cause why receiver of it's property
should not be appointed. The story was
fatty denied on the street by the Vice Presi-
dent of the company, although it turns out
that the order had actually been granted by
Judge Donohue on the previous day, but
was, on application of the counsel of the
company, vacated yesterday. 1t seems
singular that judge should grant an order
one day, returnable in ten days, and vacate
il ON the following morning. But the ex-
PLANTATION given by Judge Donohue OF his
action in this particular case is calculated
to invite criticism. He states that the order
was Inadvertently granted" 1t is scarcely
conceivable that Supreme Court judge
would attach his signature to papers which
involve millions of dollars and the interests

All the opening beauties of an early Eng
lish spring cannot dissipate the gloom that
wells from the heart of our London cor
respondent when he casts his mournfnl
glance toward the gathering war storm in
the East. The outlook is certainly not en-
couraging to the lovers of peace, and the
POPULARITY of the London Times over the way
Europe would regard Russia's withdrawal
from her armed position sounds trifie
strained and dismal over here. The sight of
half million of men in position to
pounce upon the enfeebled and iso-
lated Ottoman Empire has nothing funny
about it for Turkey, and very little
for England. There is strain of the
grotesque, however, in the prospect
Of Sultan Hamid giving way to his
younger brother Reschid, as he took
the place of Murad. Sitting in the
palace of the Padishah seems to try the
brains Of men like walking over the foot
bridge between the piers of the Brooklyn
Bridge. At the least sign of giddiness there
are hundred hands ready to push the Sui
tan over the edge, as the spirits of air,
whisper 'jump off, into the cars of a
novice on the loot bridge. England has re-
treated with more or less grace from her un-
tenable position on the extradition ques-
ton. Mr.. Pierrepont has fallen into
the hands of the foul fend as Minister
Schenck did. He is accused of stating that
it would require certain amount Of bribery
to get bill through Congress. He de-
MES it emphatically, and that should be
enough. The teapot of Flint, with the ghost
of "dear Lady Mary" will rise in accusa-
ton against him, however, and the hasty will
argue unpleasantly. The stage finds a
friend among the Scotch professors,
and in spite of the Dumfries clergy
man will not go in the direction he
indicates for some time to Gomez O'Ma-
honys body will be honored in his
native land, all classes Of malcontents with
British rule agreeing to join in shonoring
his remains. So the immense budget OF
news rolls out it's facts of interest to
all classes. Not the least important is
the announcement that Herr Wagner
has given mortal offence TO King Ludwig, and
that the entire Cabinet is perturbed at the
audacity of the musician of the future
in writing letter without consulting
anybody" Paris, all agog with her carnival,
has little else than it's merrymaking to re-
count, but that always has its charm for the
outside world,

Tn. Wagner op.r. i'm New York.

The Wagner Opera i'm Now York;
The triumph of Richard Wagner at Bale
reuth made him known to the entire musical
world, and in no country did the performs
ance of his greatest work arouse more Inc
terest than in the United States. Tho
leading themes of the opera were
published in musical notation by the
HERALD and since then Thomas
and Damrosch have reproduced the
finest passages in orchestral form. Tho
musical public, however. has desired to
study Wagner more closely, and we are glad
to know that an opportunity will be given
next month at the Academy of Music, when
Mr. John c. Fryer will produce at least four
of his operas, 'The Flying Dutchman,"
sLohengrin," "Tannhauser" and ode Wall
kiire" 1t is the intention of the management
to give these works in the best manner, and
an orchestra of sixty of the finest musicians
in the city, chorus of fifty voices and q
good company have been already engaged.
Mr.. Fryer wisely determines not to depend
upon the wornout scenery of the Acad-
envy, and is now having entirely new
scenery painted for Idle Walkire" and the
other operas. This enterprise should give
Wagner an adequate Interpretation in New
York before London or Paris has heard his
music in operate forms, and we trust that
the season will be we'll supported by our

The country is doomed to spend another
uneasy Sabbath pending the settlement
by the tribunal Of the Louisiana electoral
question. The Senate proceedings yes
terday with reference to the matter at
issue were marked by nothing unusual,
excepting an unfortunate and ill-timed
attack by Mr.. Bogy upon Justice Bradley.
The House took a recess until Monday,
when the Louisiana count will be pro-
ceeded with. The joint democratic caucus
was attended by almost every democrat In
each house, and adopted a resolution offered
by Mr. Reagan, of Texas, to the effect that
the House should proceed on Monday to
the counting of the electoral vote according
to law, the resolution having been offered
as an amendment to one which called for
extreme flibustering measures. The
stronger members of the caucus acted
in the most patriotic manner, IN
sisting upon prompt and straight
forward action, and the vote by
which Mr.. Rcagan's resolution was adopted
was almost unanimous. The caucus,
provided, however, for the preparation of a
protest against the action of the
commission concerning Louisiana and
Florida This protest is to be sent to the
country at large, and will doubtless call
forth q counter statement from the republic
cans The fair and business-like spirit Of the
democrats should have the effect of assuring
the country that party feeling is not to
stand in the way Of prompt settlement of
the Presidential question, and for this as
surance the public will ooubtless be ex-

cation.
In country where SO much time and
money are spent, and spent SO willingly, in
the interests of education, the extent to
which one of its most important branches is
overlooked is, especially to Englishmen,
simply astounding. For from twelve to
twenty years of the life of most persons.
certainly of most of those whose parents or
guardians are in circumstances above ac-
tual poverty, the utmost care is taken for
many of the best hours of each day to in
form and train the mind and fit it's owner
for his or her life's work. But while much
that is satisfactory results not nearly SO
much is accomplished, even of mental labor,
as there would be were the body kept in
healthy working order. One starting as
child, with no organic defect, no more needs
to reach manhood with thin chest and
poor legs than he does unable to spell or
cipher or write correctly. Equal care as
assiduously applied would have as certainly
developed strength and ease in the physical
working as in the mental. Who can doubt
the effect of healthy and vigorous body on
both the mental and moral sides of a man,
and who at fifty, weak in lung or stomach
or kidney, would not gladly exchange any
branch of knowledge he acquired at school
for sound, sturdy health? Yet what does
he do for his boy to avert the same evil
What one school in New York city
requires its boys or girls to use their joints
and muscles, even five paltry minutes
daily, in really vigorous exercise How far
would they get mentally if the allowance
and quality of their daily work were equally
stinted Every parent should see to it that
his child every day brings into vigorous and
sustained action all the muscles of the trunk
and limbs, and that the amount of such &C.
ton be gradually increased until it lasts in
all at least an hour. Every school teacher
should understand what will strengthen
and symmetrize the entire frame, should
have the necessary apparatus, should
know how to use it and should insist
that it be used, as much as parents should
that boy keep his teeth or his whole body
clean. Carry out such system faithfully
in the public schools of any one city fol
even ten years, and, though our race degen-
crates as much physically in the next genera
ton as many predict, there need be no feal
of the men and women Of that city.
