Scientific Clubbing.

At last policeman has been seen to use
his club without making an imbecile or
corpse Of his victim, or brute of himself
This officer, whose number we regret not to
know, had occasion to arrest drunken
man who was COMFORTING himself more
actively than agreeably on Ninth avenue.
Instead of beiaboring the fellows skull the
officer made gentle demonstration with
his club upon the offenders lower extremi-
ties, and instantly the disorderly character
became q most obedient prisoner. The
case is valuable precedent, or would be
if many of our policemen knew how to use
club without destroying something. The
slightest blow upon the anterior portion
of the lower leg compels the victim to tenn
porarily restrict his attention to his own
sensations. as any man knows who hos ever
encountered chair or the family coal
scuttle at dead of night and in dark room.
To beat men over the head probably seems
to some of our policemen to be harmless
show of authority, for their cranial contents
are SO diminutive in quantity and SO solidly
encased that the club of Ulysses would
affect them only as friendly pat upon the
head might Go. Not all our guardians
of the peace are so impervious to demon
STATIONS upon the seat Of thought, how
ever, and to those who are not we commend
the suggestion conveyed by the Ninth ave-
nue. experience.

THE CONDITION to which the streets have sud
denly been brought by the great fall of snow
demands more attention from the Street Clean
ing Bureau than it seems to be getting. 1t is
not enough that some thousands of carloads of
snow have been removed. There should be
some system devised by which at least the prin-
cipal thoroughiare may be cleaned immc-
datey after snow fall, instead of remaining in
the disgraceful condition in which Broadway is
to-day. Money enough has been appropriated to
relieve the streets in great measure of snow as
well as dirt, but money without brains and APP
picaton is unequal to the present requirements
of the city.

81" Railroad Company that it generally
has on great corporations. and induce
disposition to grasp at yet more enor-
nous gains rather than to extend to
the public a share in the benefits OF the
splendid enterprise through the boon of
cheap fares. 1t would have been pleasant
thing to have found Mr.. Field in his report,
while setting before the stockholders his
golden feast, reminding them that the work.
ing men and women and poorly paid clerks
of New York who supply its dainty dishes
would be most thankful for the boon of five
cent fares, at least for four hours in the
morning and four hours in the evening,
which would give them just SO much more
bread to eat. We have repeatedly insisted
that uniform five cent fare on the Third
avenue line would more than double the
travel, and thus yield a yet larger net income
to the stockholders than Mr. Field promises
them. But even if the charge of ten cents
is to be continued and ii the lower rate Of
fare should reduce the splendid profits
of the fifteen wealthy stockholders a
few dollars each year the boon of an ex-
tension of the cheap hours ought at least to
be cheeriully conceded. Mr.. Field seems
to think that the city will be greatly bene-
flied by the five per cent it is to receive of
the net profits of the company. But, in jus
tice to the people who give the charter to
the company and the income to the stock
holders, the charge for the use of the roads
should be made just as low as possible con-
sistently with the admitted right of those
who have risked their money in the enter
prise to receive handsome, a liberal, but
not an unreasonable profit. The hours now
set apart for cheap trains do not accommo-
date all whose scanty means prevent them
from paying higher rate. We trust that
Mr.. Field will see the fairness of this posi-
ton. 1t certainly is encouraging to know
that fifteen wealthy individuals own two
thirds of the capital stock of the New York
81" Company, and thus wholly control its
policy, as they will no doubt be disposed TO
treat the people generously, and they have
it in their power ito do so promptly and
without the trouble of consulting multi
tude of stockholders.

Doorstep Coucl,es,

The attention of conuoisseurs in facilities
for quiet slumber is invited to prac-
tice which is quite common this winter.
We refer to that of sleeping upon doorsteps.
Those who thus far have INDUCED in it
have declined the imputation Of passion
for nature, and assign poverty and the
crowded condition Of station houses as the
causes Of their unconventional action, but
as what man has done man can do" there
is no legal reason why well-to-do people
should not enjoy the sensations peculiar to
the habit OF lying upon bed Of stone while
the thermometer is wavering between freez-
ing and zero. The patriarch Jacob had
an after dark experience upon cool
couch, but he used stone only for pill
low, and in the heated atmosphere of Asia
Minor IL is probable that cold stone was
n delightful head rest. In New York, how
ever, and during the winter, the difference
between q doorstep and the usual arrange
ment Of mattresses, sheets and blankets
within doors is quite noticeable in point of
comfort. The man who seeks such couch
is not likely to have had full dinner Mt a
late hour, nor bottle of wine to keep out
the cold, nor is he in the habit OF wearing
a thick ulster. The moment he stretches
himself upon his springless bed the stone
begins to rob him Of physical heat. He OBJ
jects, turns over and the stone continues it's
natural work. II the slumberer has been
fortunate enough to find a doormat for a
go-between the undesirable effects may be
postponed, but only for time, for door
steps can find place for all the warmth that
con be impaired to them by human
body. The farce OF resting continues, the
sumberer playing his part faithfully, being
under severest compulsion, but soon IT
seems matter of life and death, with the
odds and agonies decidedly in favor of the
latter, so the couch is deserted and the
would-be sleeper curls himself as tightly as
possible under the blue counterpart OF
heaven and wishes he were strong enough
to get to the river and drown himself. Next
morning he is physically and mentally as
worthless as almost any incurable In
hospital; he has not even wit enough to

Mayor Cooper has made change in the
Commissioners of Accounts which, it is to
be hoped, will add to the efficiency Of the
Office. Heretofore the Commissioners have
been supposed to have duty to perform to
the Mayor alone, and have been used to
make examinations OF departments only for
the purpose of placing their reports in the
Mayors hands for political or personal use.
The duties of the Commissioners of Ac-
counts are just as distinct and well defined
as those of any other officers of the city
government, and we have no doubt that
Mayor Cooper will so decide If their
duties are capably performed the Commits
sioners may become valuable public Off
GERS. They may serve as wholesome
check on the departments, and have it in
their power at the same time to supply the
Mayor with much useful and desirable in
formation.

The WEATHER.-The centre of the disturb
ance moved very rapidly over our district dur
ing yesterday morning. and is now over Nova
Scotia. The barometer fell very rapidly as
the storm centre neared the Gulf Stream
of the New England coast, making the
gradients very steep on the western margin.
The pressure has risen considerably through
out all the other districts. The winds have
been brisk in the northern sections of
the country; in the Gulf and South At
laniic States they have been generally
fresh. The rain has been very heavy in
the South and Middle Atlantic States, and
snow is reported from the lake regions and
New England States. The temperature has
risen in all the Atlantic coast districts and has
fallen in all the other sections, particularly in
the northern lake regions. The high tcmpera-
ture that prevailed IN the central valley dis
tricis for the past few days has caused some of
the Ice ia the rivers to break up. This
will not prevent the floods that must
inevitably occur throughout the low lands
that line the banks OF the main streams,
because the gorges large that the choking
up ut the bends will take place, account of the
rapid current caused by the constant rains in
the mountains, and the water will rise very
rapidly. our special cable from Europe
states that another prediction sent 10y the
HERALD Weather Bureau is being fulfilled. The
Meteorological Bureau on the other side OF the
Atlantic is 40 busy engaged in warning the
people interested that great amount OF con
fusion seems to prevail as to the state OF the
weather. In fact, IL hardly knows which
storm hit them first. The weather In New York
and its vicinity to-day will be colder aud clear
Tomorrow the same conditions are likely to
prevail.

They believe at Washington that the
great trouble about the management of the
Indians grows out of divided response
bility Maladministration must follow
when power and responsibility are divided.
The natural conclusion Of this argument is
that either the War Department ought to
have the entire control of Indian affairs or
the authority ought to be wholly in the
hands of the Indian Bureau and the In
terror Department, without any interior
ence on the part of the army. But then,
when rascally Indian agents and the general
mismanagement of the bureau drive starv-
ing tribes of Indians to the warpath,
the soldiers must necessarily do the
fighting To follow out the Wash
ington doctrine thoroughly the adj
vocates of the continuance of the
Indian Bureau should be willing to approve
n requirement that when the Indians are
hostile the agents shall do the fighting.
This would be decided advantage; for,
while it would spare the lives Of gallant
officers and brave men, the country would
be benefited, no matter whether the ma
rauding Indians killed the dishonest agents
or vice versa. AS in lagos case, in the fight
between Cassie and Roderigo,
Now. whether he kill Cassie.
Or Cassie him, each do kill the other,
Every way makes my gain.

We publish in to-day's HERALD a report
of the buildings and improvements that are
under way or contemplated in the upper
parts Of the city. 1t is by no means discour-
aging to find that the movement in real
estate which was predicted as the conse-
quence of rapid transit is gradual and
cautious. The disposition to invest in new
buildings is no sudden impulse, but is
founded on the conviction that there are
solid reasons to hope for better times
Values have got down to specie basis
labor and material are reasonably low fol-
lowing the decreased cost of living, and the
rapid transit roads invite back to the upper
parts of the city those portions of the popuE-
lation that have sought New Jersey and
Long Island in preference to paying high
rents or living in tenement houses. These
are advantages that will not only stay by
US but will increase as the demand for
residences in the upper parts Of the city
increase, and as rapid transit facilities are
extended. Before long we shall have the
Metropolitan road--a model Of convenience
and comfort extended to the Harlem
River and opening up for residences the
beautiful sites in the new wards. The
Second avenue line will also be built with.
out unnecessary delay, and then the facili-
ties for travel on the east side will be suf-
ficient to meet the great demand. A cheap
and comfortable class of houses will then
be eagerly sought in the uptown districts
as we'll as more pretentious residences, and
the capitalists who take advantage of the
present prices and the ample supply, Of
labor to build such dwellings now will be
sure to reap their reward in good time

CarrolltOn (Ky.) Democrat
In listening with breathless interest
a few weeks ago to the following bit of
thrilling romance, as related by the
hero himself, we were melted to SYM
pathy for his sorrows and warmed into
sentiments of the highest admiration
for his virtue. Fettcred by a chain
Of uncomfortable circumstances, com
PEELED, from motives of honor and a
~chivalrous regard for the fair names
of others, into a painful and humili-
ating silence, he suddenly finds him
self, after a lapse of eight long years,
free from the thralldom that bound
him, and at liberty once again to
appear in his own proper name and
character. Although impatient to
vindicate himself and all others con
neeted with the history of these sad
events against unjust censure or false
Interpretation, his modest, unobtru
siVe nature shrinks from tho task
himself, and we are asked to under
take it for him. 1t is not our purpose
to enter into the details of a story
replete with startling and varied incl
dent, but merely to mention a few of
the most prominent persons and
events.
Eight years ago w. S. Mandiyille,
then a gay young Frenchman, con-
nected with the band of the Fourth
United States cavalry, was stationed
with his regiment at Frankfort, Ky.
Drawn thithar by a desire to hear
some fine music, he CHANGED to visit,
on a certain Sunday, the Catholic
cathedral of that city. The soft, we'll
modulateA tones of a celebrated
soprano voice falling entranolngly
upon his ear, attracted his attention
and aroused his interest. On leaving
the church he was determined to learn
the lady's name and make her acquain-
lance. Circumstance soon favored this
resolution, and, through a mutual
friend, an introduction to Miss Carrie
Weitgeh one Of Frankfort's most
charming and ACCOMPLISHED yopng
ladies, was obtained.
1t is the old, old story" soon told,
Tho young couple soon became devo-
ted lovers, and were, shortly after
ward, married. Having now an OBJ
ject and a purpose in life, Mr.. Mandi-
vile severed his connection with the
United States army and went with his
Young wife TO reside in Louisville.
There, away from all opposing, dis.
turbing elements, they enjoyed several
