THE BRASS BAND.
And Some Things il il Responsible
For
New Y ork Times

Many people imagine that the dis
order which frequently disgrace ex-
cursion parties is due to intemperance
On the contrary, it is due to the inventa-
bic brass band. Men may embark on
board an excursion steamboat whore
not q drop of ardent spirits can be OBJ
tanned, and after hearing the brass band
play the "Mulligan Guards" and "WhOa!
Emma" fifteen times each, they fall
upon one another in frenzy and fight
like tigers. Can any one point to fight
which has taken place on an excursion
steamboat where there was no brass
band in active operation? OF course no
one can. 1t is, then, the fatal influence
of the band which leads the mild tailor
to rise up and harm the unoflending
shoemaker, and transform the peaceful
baker into blOodthirsty maniac 1t is
in vain that the police authorities try to
keep the peace where brass bands exists.
1t cannot be done, for the drum and
the cornet will induce even women TO
tear each others hair and throw camp
stools at men who have not even been
formally introduced TO them. 1t may
readily be imagined that if an accident
occurs to Il steamboat on which a brass
band has been playing panic is ineyi-
table. The band having temporarily de
moralized the nervous system Of the
passengers, and reduced them to mental
imbecility, they are utterly unable to
help themselves when brought face to
face with danger, and give away to the
widest panic. No prudent person
should dream of taking passage on board
a steamboat on which brass band is
permitted 1t is true that such steam
boats occasionally have a long immuni-
ty from disaster, but when the ineyita-
bic disaster does come the consequence
will be fatal

THE loss by the fire in St. Louis is now

not yet ascertained; insured for 1873, $50.

fractured, and the latter was internally

Two sons of John Henry Wells, OF
Long Island, aged 10 and II, were playing
with an old revolver, in the house, while
the family were at church. The Youngest
son snapped the revolver fourteen or fifteen
times, aiming it pIayfully at his brother,
but there was no explosion. Finally the
youngest boy mounted the horse block in
front of the house, and as the elder bow
approached he said, Halt, or I'll shoot
your He pulled the trigger, as he had
done so often before; there was an explo-
sion, and the 17-year-old boy fell dead in
his tracks, shot through the heart The
boy on the horse block fell in faint. The
strangest part of the tragedy is that the
cartridge did not explode sooner. after the
many times it had been struck, both on
this evening and previously. The parents
learned the facts their grief was intense.

THE BELLS At LOWELL.
One OF the Features of the spindle
City--Gongs that strike sichind
Time.
Lowell. Mass, Courier.

Lowell Mass, Courier.
OF the Lowell bells, the mill bells are
the most numerous and most prosaic
yet not the least interesting. Most of
the corporations are provided with
them, and it is their vigorous ringing.
at unSeemly hours of the morning, that
attracts the attention of the stranger
4 majority of them seem to have been
made with direct attention to the
quality of tone and a reckless disregard
of the quality, but when all are
rung together the affect is not an I'M
pleasant one. Summer and winter. in
storm and sunshine, the unaccustomcd
sleeper is aroused by the general ring
ing of the bells, mt 4:4J in the morning.
This is for the especial benefit of the
clearinghouse keepers, who are eX-
pected to arise at this time to prepare
the morning meal. One hour later at
5:45, the bells ring again, this time to
call the operatives to breakfast; ard in
fifty minutes more the bell ringin5 is
again repeated for the purpose of call
ing to their work the many thousands
of laborers in our many places of indus
try. At noon the bells signal the hour
for dinner, and at 1850 the operatives
are recalled for the afternoon work,
which finally ends by the ringing out
at 6 o'clock, five days in the week, and
at $3.50 Saturdays.
There are about half score of bells
upon the mills, the Boot, Chase, Ham
ilton, Bleachery, Machine Shop. Low
ell, Merrimack and MiddlescX being
the leading corporations thus equipped.
All these bells are regulated by the
Merrimack company. All Tie cor.
poratiOns are connected by a telc-
graphic system the headquarters of
which are at the Merrimack. In the
bell tower Of each corporation is Il gong
by which the one who rings the bell Is
notified when to ring. This is done by
turning a switch at the Merrimack. BY
so doing the various bells commence
ringing at the same moment The
gongs are also used to signal for letting
on the speed five minutes after the
bell rings, and closing the gates ten
minutes after the bell rings. At
o'clock the Merrimacll bell strikes for
this purpose and affords an opportuni-
ty for people to note the correct time
on their watches II is not exactly
correct, because the attendant has to
strike the gong first and then The big
bell, which brings the latter two or
three seconds late. Even the gong can
not be struck absolutely upon the OK
act time. There is an appreciable
amount of time between the instant
that the person sees the second hand
on the sixty and the time he presses
the knob to strike the gong That is
for the brain to receive the impression
from the eye and receiving send out
an impulse to the hand is something
that requires time although very little.
This is called the personal equation,
and varies in different individuals. 1t
makes no difference in the setting Of a
watch or clock, but in the observations
of stars and Astronomical calculations
therefrom, the personal equation Of
the operator is always calculated and
taken into account i'll al work done.

From the Capital.

GENERAL DRUM says there are no charges
against Lieutenant Howgate. There is a
good deal of jealousy of this capable
officer, besides what was bequeathed to him
by the late General Myer
WEIGHTY influence is to be brought to
bear upon the president to secure the APP
pointment as successor to General Myer,
Ii .e chief Of the signal service, of Major
w. b. Wetmore, of New York.
JUDGE LAWRENCE first comptroller of
the treasury, sustains the ruling of Treas
urer Gilfillan, that the district board of
audit certificates draw only 3.65 per cent.
interest when converted into 3.65 bonds.
lT is estimated that the amount of gold
and silver coin now in this country aggre-
gates $50, 41S,9I4, which, with a paper
circulation of S700,000,000, makes the
total circulating medium of the country
81 ,270, 418,9l4. This, estimating the pop
ulation at 50,000,000, gives a specie circu-
lation Of Sill per capita, and of paper
Sl4.05, making total circulation of
$25. 40 per capita. From the most reliable
data obtainabie it appears that only Great
Britain and France now possess a greater
gold circulation than the United States.
THE report of the postal business of the
government for the last fiscal year con-
tains the following aggregate: Letters,
S66, 593, 572; postal cards, 276, 446, 7l6; news
papers to subscribers and news agents.
sos, 172, 624: magazines to subscribers and
news agents, 53, AZ, 276; books, circulars
miscellaneous printed matter, 300,S45,-
$50; articles of merchandise, -, 664, 456;
total. not including mail received from
foreign countries, 2,2l5, 100. l24.
In the last ten DAYS over three-quarters
OF million of standard silver dollars have
been ordered from the treasury and scat
tered over the country. The $4,000 circu-
lars sent out by the Treasurer Gilfillan are
bearing immediate fruits. Twenty-Five
orders have been received from the west
and south asking for ftem $500 to $50 900
each. The largest order was from Athens,
Ga, and the next largest from Columbus,
Ind. With these orders are complaints of
a scarcity of small bills, which is the prime
cause of silver going so rapidly.
GEN BENEr, chief of ordnance, in his
annual report will devote considerable
space to discussion of the militia bill re-
ported to the house at the last session of
congress. The reports will show the prin-
cipal operations of the ordnance depart
ment during the fiscal year ended June 80
last, including the amount appropriated
by congress for that year, and the manner
in which it was spent. From the latest
returns complied at the Office of the ad
iutant general of the United States army,
the aggregate organized strength of the
militia in the different states and territories
is as follows General officers, 90; regi-
mental, field, and staff officer, sos; com
pany officers 6,19S; total commissioned,
$3.50; total non-commissioned officers, mu-
sicians, and privates, 1l7,037; aggregate,
1896 The total unorganszed strength
of the militia is 6,516,75S.

The Romantic Young Man.

Sophie Sparkle" the lively Saratoga
correspondent thus takes off the ro-
mantle young man of the springs:
Our romantic youth always comes
into the dinning-room with a novel of
huge dimensions in his hand. He looks
at nobody rs he enters, but takes his
scat and at once plunges deeply into
the novel He is so absorbed with his
reading that he seems to begrudge II
spare moment to give the necessary
order for his meal The order when
given never fails to make the waiter
grin. in that broad suggestive manner
peculiar to the African race. This
morning the eccentric individual order
ed one egg and a plate of cake for his
breakfast, after spasmodic effort to
look up a moment from his novel. The
waiter rushed off in despair to inter
view the head-waiter The head-wait-
er shook his head in a positive man
ncr, then both walters grinned showing
their teeth to the utmost advantage,
and the young mans waiter returned to
say that they did not have cake for
breakfast The young man looked up
in halfdazed sort Of way, as though
Juliet upon his brain, but gave no
further order and plunged again into
his novel. The waiter brought back
the egg and put it before the young
man upon the table. Fully fifteen
minutes elapsed before he glanced up
from his book. Then he looked at the
egg as though half astonished to see it
there, ate it up in two mouthfuls, took
up his book and rushed hastily out of
the DINING room, only to seat himself
upon the piazza and to dive deeply in
10 it, pages again. Now, what is TO be
thought Of a young man that comes TO
Saratoga, pays - a day for board, and
behaves in such an unheard-ofm manner?
The only solution possible to his strange
conduct appears to be that this un-
fortunate youth is deeply in love-

The Indian Bureau RascaIity.
Washington Correspondence Chicago Time.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Times
Secretary Schurz is expected here
soon. All of the reports and
documents in the case of Brooks, form
er chief clerk of the Indian bureau,
have been laid aside by assistant secre-
tary Bell for Mr.. Schurz' perusal. The
case against Brooks proves to be more
serious than was originally reported to
the Times. His resignation was asked
upon Geographic order from Secre-
tary Schurz Brooks, it is alleged, is in
volved in the sale OF lands of the Me-
nominee Indians in Wisconsin A bill
was passed last winter by congress di-
recting the sale ofthese lands. A com
bination was made between Hayt, then
commissioner; Brooks, Chicago lum-
Der firm, and Wisconsin Congressman
to control the purchase of these lands
The lumber firm continued the trans
action, and is supposed to have hand
somely divided. 1t is shown also that
Brooks was a confidential associate with
Hayt in all his questionable transac-
tons. 1t is a wonder he has been en-
abled to stay SO long as he has after
Hayt's dismissal, but it is accounted for
by an interior department official. who
said that the new commissioner, Trow-
bridge, did not have enough intelligence
to understand what was going on right
under his nose The people who
thrived under Hayt's dishonest regime
are equally pleased with the present
incumbent, whose benevolent incapac-
ity is quite as satisfactory as the most
corrupt 1t is said that Secretary Schurz
will make some more changes in the
Indian bureau on bis return.
