The Grand Jury have displayed praise
worthy energy in acting on Recorder
Hackett's charge in relation to the nuisances
created by fat rendering and other offensive
establishments in the city. A large batch
of indictments was brought into Court
yesterday afternoon and bench warrants
were issued against the implicated parties.
It is alleged that the indictment OF the
Board Of Health was delayed or postponed
on some account, but certainly the work OF
the Grand Jury will not be complete or i'm
partial without it, We publish to-day the
statements of members of the Health De-
partment. one of whom complains that many
people regard the Board and its employees as
dishonest, and, in his own words, ''think
we are little better than thieves" Why this
official should suppose the public to have
any such erroneous impression, or, if his
supposition be correct, why the public
should have formed so unjust an estimate of
the Health Department, we are at loss to
conceive. But that the health officials have
shamefully neglected their duty and suf-
fered the laws to be violated can scarcely be
questioned. Indeed the present action OF
the Board, melted by the terror Of on in
dictment under Recorder Hackett's ad-
mirable charge, is proof that its previous
conduct was open to the censure it received.
1t is pretended that permits" granted by
the Board Of Health are a mere matter of
form and give no privileges to the persons
who receive them; that if the businesses con-
Quoted under such permits create nuisances
the proprietors are amenable to the law. But
if it is necessary to obtain a permit before
certain offensive businesses are commenced
the Withholding Of the permit would be the
most effectual preventive of the nuisance.
The Board of Health has been grossly in
different to the observance Of the laws
and to the protection of the public health,
and no special pleading can wipe out the
fact. If the department had been as
active and vigilant before the Record sr's
charge MS since there would have been no
cause for complaint and no talk of indict-
ment. The fact that twenty-nine indict-
ments are brought in in one batch against
businesses that are nuisances is alone
proof Of the negligence or corruption Of the
authorities whose duty it is to prevent the
existence of such nuisances. Why, then,
should the officials, who are more culpable
than the nuisance breeders, escape indict-
ment? If the present Grand Jury should
fail to indict the principal offenders the
spasmodic activity Of the Board Of Health
will soon die out and the nuisances will be
renewed and continue until they receive
another check such MS has been now ad-
ministered to them by the Recorder.

Cardinal McCloskey returned from Eu-

good health, and expressed his satisfaction
at being once again among his own people.
A public reception will shortly be rendered
him, probably at st. Patrick's Cathedral !;

A Nations Gratitude.

The proposition to retire General Grant
with generals full pay is one which ought
to have received not only the unanimous
approval Of Congress but the hearty in
dorsement Of the entire nation. Indeed, it
would be but feeble expression of the
gratitude due to the great soldier from the
American people. The services rendered
by Marlborough and Wellington to Great
Britain, important MS they were, shrink into
insignfcance beside those performed by
Grant for the United States. The English
commanders military genius stood their
country in good stead in war, but
the victories they won were not essen
tial to the preservation Of the constitu-
tional structure OF the British govern
ment. The American soldier saved the
Union and gave the nation greater strength
and influence at home and abroad than it
possessed before the terrible trial through
which it triumphantly passed under his
leadership. 1t has been said that republics
are ungrateful, and perhaps it is fortunate
that their ideas of gratitude do not extend
far enough to saddle the country with gifts
and pension lists that pass down to pos
terity and become a perpetual burden on
future generations. But the proposition to
bestow the full pay Of gen eral for life on q
soldier like Grant was one so Just and
moderate that no voice in Congress or out
of Congress ought to have been raised
against il. 1t was defeated by the demo-
cratic Senator'S, and like many of their
recent proceedings in Congress their action
in the matter is calculated to deprive their
party Of the confidence Of the country.

stern utntio Infelix.

A sneezo is beyond human control and
may sometimes come at On inopportune
moment, as the young man discovered who,
having made practice of replenishing his
exchequer from the poor box ut st. Cecilia's
Church, on Second avenue, was at last be-
trayed by n sneeze. The untimely irrita-
ton Of the inner membrane Of the nose
while he was concealed in the organ Of tho
church led to search and the discovery Of
the long sought peculator. A snecze is
occasionally great relief, no doubt, yet it
would sometimes be deplorably out of place.
For instance. it would scarcely do for n
gentleman to sneeze at the moment Of
declaration of love, or for lady either, for
that matter. The best Juliet ever on the
stage could scarcely stand the test Of
sneeze in the balcony scene, although the
cold air might make it natural enough In
the State Assembly once some rogues put
quantity Of snuff on the great heater by
which the chamber is warmed. A
pompous member had just risen to
question Of privilege on an attack
made upon him in New York pa
per, and had opened with flood Of
bombastic eloquence when the fumes If
fected him and he sneezod. There was q
general laugh. The member looked indig-
nantly around and resumed, only to be in
terrupted by q second sneeze, then a third,
until the whole Assembly joined him in
sneezing chorus and the Speaker sneez-
ingy adjourned the session. A sneeze is
therefore sometimes out of place; yet it
would be an excellent thing If some or
rangement Of nature could be made to force
q sneezc involuntarily. from burglars and
stilted orators whenever they exercise their
Objectionable talents on innocent people.

One OF the institutions" in which the
city is supposed to care for the wretched
and helpless portions of the population is
an idiot asylum, and it was shown in yes
terday's HERALD how the municipal benevo-
lence is exercised at that horrible place.
Idiot children are not objects likely to ex-
cite very extensive sympathy in the COM
munity, but the treatment that pauper de-
pendents are entitled to receive is a sub
ject that should be quite apart from
any sentiments of repugnancy toward
the objects CON which charity is bestowed.
Any more shocking than the recital Of
the way in which disease is systematically
cultivated in the asylum, or in which the
wretched children are actually done to
death by deficiency of food, IL is not possi-
bic to imagine. But the facts Of this case
cannot astonish any one who has followed

The accident that happened on the bow
cry yesterday through the falling OF one OF
the iron Orders as it was being raised into
those misfortunes which the greatest care
cannot always avert. The chain used Tor
hosting had been tested and had borne
much heavier weights. The breaking OF a
link, perhaps by sudden twist in the
chain, or, it may be, by the jerk occasioned
by the falling into its groove of a coil which
had overlapped was the cause of the accl-
dent. All that can be done when heavy
iron is thus being elevated is to constantly
examine the chains and hooks, and
there is no reason to suppose that this
precaution had been neglected by those In
control of the work. The unfortunate oc-
currence will, however, insure extra watch
a discontinuance of one dangerous practice
on the part of the workmen. 1t is by no
means uncommon to see heavy kegs OF
rivets and boxes of tools standing on the
cross braces, sometimes in the centre OF the
road. 1t would not take much TO tip these
over, and their fall in so crowded thor
oughfare, where cars are constantly
passing, might be more fatal than
yesterdays accident. The workmen
should be prohibited from thus i'm
perilling human life. 1t will also
be well if people learn, from the lamentable
occurrence Of yesterday, the folly OF gather
ing in crowds beneath the heavy posts and
Orders of the Third avenue road as they
are being raised into position. 1t is not
unusual to find a group of twenty or thirty
idlers thus amusing themselves, to the peril
Of their own lives and the embarrassment
Of the laborers engaged in the work. The
police ought to be directed to disperse all
such gatherings.

FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE "HUMpTY DUMprY's
DREAM"

FIFTH AVENUE THEATRE-" HUMpTY DUMpTY's
DREAM"
An amusing trick pautomme called sHumpty
Dumply's Dream" which has been for some time IN
preparation, was produced last night at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre. The pantomme proper was pro-
coded by prologue or Introduction based Charles
Dickens Christmas CAROL 'Thc Miser." The revival
of the famous old pantomimo OF "Humpty Dumpty,"
with whose that OF poor George L. Fox Is asso-
ciatcd and will DO long remembered, brought 10 tho
minds OF many who witnessed tho piece under It's
new name Of "Humpty Humpty's Dream" many
memories OF the dead and gone clown.
Fox's career as pantomimist commenced
where the famous French brothers Antoine,
Gaurici and Francois Raves ended, and
