The code then proceeds to desig-
nate how fat rendering and other

am ong other things, that the premises
''nlust be free from all offensive odor and
health" If the owners of these places who
aps now under indictment have been justly
INFLICTED then it is certain that they have
dis;regarded and violated the provisions OF
the sanitary code. But the law is as posi-
tive in requiring the Board of Health to en-
force these provisions as in obliging the
proprietors of such establishments to OBJ
serve and obey them hence, if the proprie-
tors are guilty the Board Of Health cannot
be innocent. Indeed, even at the present
moment, while the Health Department is
under spasm of activity and efficiency,
the HERALDs reports show that garbage IS
being dumped on the east side OF the city,
above Sixty-ffth street, to the peril
of the public health and in direct
violation of law. While the Grand

The shah and the Car.

The arrival Of the ruler Of Persia at st.
Petersburg, as announced by our special
cable despatch this morning, when viewed
in connection with the strain Of interests that
marks the political situation, is an event Of
no common interest. Persia and Persian
influence, if thrown on the side of Russia in
Central Asia, would weigh heavily in favor
of the schemes Of the latter. and would
serve as a means of dividing even the relig-
to utilize in defence Of her Indian
possessions. The Shah is the relig-
ious as we'll as political chief Of a
considerable population, and his friendship
is we'll worth cultivation even by the Gar
Of all the Russias Hence, we will learn
that the resources Of the imperial city will
be taxed to impress the visitor with the
greatness, the power and the generosity Of
Russia's ruler and the advantages that
would accrue to Persia if an alliance could
be entered into for the protection of mutual
interests AS the Shah is to visit Germany he
will doubtless receive new impressions from
Prince Bismarck, and these may be favor
able to Russian alliance or otherwise, just
as the astute Chancellor regards the condi-
tions Of the game before him. Should the
Shah visit Paris, as he is very likely to do,
he will again be talked to contidentially by
mon indifferent, and properly SO, to all but
the interests Of France. A trip to London
will, however, give the Persian monarch the
anti-Russian side ofNhc picture but he
will be certain to return home convinced
that he is "a bigger man" at present in the
estimation Of European statesmen than he
ever was before, and Persian cunning will
enable him to make the best Of very favor
able opportunity for driving good bargain.
1 ersia is, in fact, the Austria of Central
Asia.

The story told since the conviction, and

Of the jury which declared Kate Southern

is shown she had only too much cause, after

and avowed rival and dared to fight. A

flag, and would have given new registries as
they were asked for But big job was
made for the shipbuilders. which was
covered with the name of patriotism, like
nearly all very great pieces of villany. By
statute all the ships that had sought other
flags were outlawed. This was the way
Congress kept up the national dignity, by
Furnishing merchants because the navy
could not catch the Alabama. If the navy
could not catch the obnoxious cruisers the
merchants Of the country who had been
guilty of the crime OF wanting to save
their property were within easy reach, and
Congress expended its patriotic indignation
on them.
They smashed the merchants with an
enormously large stone, as the monkey
smashed the fly on the mans head but the
head beneath, in this case, was the common
interest OF the whole people, whether
faint-hearted shipowners or gallant soldiers.
There was with all those ships, outlawed at
a stroke, no way to have an American ship
but by building her in an American ship
yard or buying condemned prizes, which
an American shipyard wages were at that
time very high, and there was not peg used
in ship but its ordinary price was doubled
by duties or the high rate of labor in its
production. The merchants OF other coun-
tries could send goods in ships that had
not cost more than two-thirds what Ameri-
can ships cost. They could consequently
send them cheaper, and our own merchants
were compelled in sell-defence to use the
ships OF other countries. Thus it came
about that as our ships were driven to other
flags by the calamities Of the war our COM
merce was driven to other flags by the inca
pacity OF patriotic" Congressman to fore
see the consequences Of their legislation;
and we were left without either. Now an
opportunity to regain our position seems
imminent. Will Congress do its share?

Our Art News from Abroad.

As the sale Of the celebrated collection
of paintings Of M. Laurent-Richard, which
was begun yesterday at the Hotel Drouot,
in Paris, is Of worldwide Importance, we
publish this morning special despatch
giving description Of the most important
Of the pictures sold and the prices OBJ
tanned. The collector, man of great
wealth, was able to crafty his art
taste in a most lavish manner. He
had a penchant for certain painters,
and secured OF their works n number which
would seem excessively large to the ordinary
buyer. His ipt sale, some years ago, was
u great success, whose height we can hardly
hope to sec reached by this one. The i'm
portance of the present collection can be
estimated when we state that among the
modern pictures are nineteen Rousseaus,
twelve Diazs. five Corots, five Dupres, ten
Millets, eight Delacroix, five Troyons, three
Fromentins, three Roybets, four Tas-
sacrts, and examples OF Meissonier,
Courbet Couture, Daubigny, Isabey,
jacques and Pettenkofen. OF the older
painters there are examples OF young
Greuze, Van der Neer, Guardi, Prudhon,
Sir Henry Raeburn, Ruysdael and David
Terriers. The competition among anna
tours and dealers for such works Is always
brisk in the worlds great art centre, and
the sale drew together yesterday repre-
sentative gathering, in person or by
agents, of the principal collectors and
buyers of Europe and this country.
AS a celebrated art critic has we'll said,
1T is really fortunate that amateurs have
not the same taste and that they are all SUBJ
ject to frequent changes in their own
opinions. II this were not SO the possess
sion of the paintings of masters would be
privilege which would work injury to the
rest Of the world. The public would not
have continually at their disposition that
temporary, mobile and always renewed
museum, the Hotel of sales; the artists
would see the clientele which can
only grow by the circulation of their works
hope of one day possessing one or the other
piece of painting which they for long
time have envied their competitors in the
possession, and even no wLo has owned for
ten or fifteen years these works so passion
ately desired by others would end by be-
coming Jlas< over his inalienable riches,
and would find himself unhappy in being
Interchangeable, like Calypso finding her.
self unhappy in being immortal.
We publish also long and interesting
letter from London describing at length the
spring exhibition of the Royal Academy
and the carpings OF the critics. They seem
to be right in this case; for, according to
our correspondent, the display is poor
one. The Hanging Committee and used up
Academicians who are hung on the line in
conspicuous positions come in for q good
deal of condemnation. The prominent pic
lures are by Messrs. Alma Tadoma, Leigh
ton, Perugini, Long, Millais, Boughton,
Firth and Bierstadt.

warlike Preparas ions for Peace.

Notwithstanding the assurances given
on all sides that sincere desire for peace
is the guiding sentiment governing the nego-
tiations in progress, we cannot fail to notice
that as much, If not more, activity is dis
played in war preparations as in the efforts
to secure settlement Of the difficulty
by diplomacy. 1t Is not the force
Of attraction that is developed by
growing friendship that causes
the Russian lines around Constantinoplo to
draw nearer to the city. Neither is it for
the purpose Of saluting with snlvoes Of JOY
the bearer of the olive branch that the
Turks are massinga formidable army within
their lines and mounting great guns on
their Notifications. England holds peace
meetings and mobilizes another army
corps. Her swarthy battalions from Ben
gal are being forwarded to Europe, to
strengthen her hand, II is now pretended,
in the Conference, whose first day OF ses-
sion has so many times been fixed. Truly
these are warlike preparations for peace

Of leaving her husband and her child. IL

during which her children will most need
