The board Of visitors at West Point
have made lengthy report to the sec
retary Of war, and among other things
say that the command at West Point
constitutes military department of
which the academy is part and the
commanding generals superintendent,
instead of being, as contemplated by
lew, in charge of colonel of engineers.
With this exception the position and
rank of the officers are in accordance
with law. The assistant adJutant gen
eral of the military department does
not belong to the military academy or
ganization and is in no way essential to
it, and occupies the quarters required
by the academic officers. A period of
more than four years experience seems
necessary to enable the superintendent
to acquire perfect knowledge of the
interests of the academy, and no pre-
vious army training is of service in this
branch, which seems to require the ex-
perience of a graduate of the academy
for its successful administration. 1t is
a source Of regret that the assistant
professors of the academy can not be
detached permanently for this service
without interfering with their hopes of
promotion.
The malpractice of "hazing," which
made It's appearance a few years ago,
has been crushed by rigid discipline,
but 1t still fingers to some extent and it
will require the utmost vigilance on
the part of the officers in the imme-
date charge of the cadets, and the most
prompt measures of punishment, in
order to eradicate this vicious and un-
manly practice. The raising of various
funds BY charging cadets percentage
on supplies is condemned and recon-
mendation made that In future no COM
mission be charged above the actual
cost of supplies. The surplus balances
of these various funds md property on
June /. 1881, amounted to a little less
than $4,000, all of which is the result
of the percentage system, and to secure
justice to the former cadets for the
levying of this tax the board is of the
opinion that the money should be de
voted 70 some parpose in which former
cadets may have an interest and theil
successors a benefit, and a memorial
hall IS suggested at West Point, to com
memorate the services of such cadets
as may have distinguished themselves
or died IN the public service.

PEOPLE should remember that in
this climate the way to preserve health
is to light fires in CRATES and furnaces
upon all cool or damp evenings.
There is no better prophylactic to
every form of disease than good fires
in the house. Damp walls and cloth
ing are fruitful sources of ills in many
homes. A little coal is much cheaper
than large doctor bill. These are
facts it is we'll to remember.

To criminal neglect of preventive medca-
tion may be ascribed a majority of the ailments
which affect humanity. II is a we'll -ascertaIned
fact, resting on the experience of over twenty
FIVE years. that a course Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters viii put even a naturally feeble system
in such a state of defence that it will be
competent to resist the most prevalent causes Of
disease, such as the malign influence of
miasma, unwholesoIne water, excessive heat,
damp, cold, sudden changes or temperature,
etc. Yet there are thousands of persons living
in perpetual peril from one or more of these
causes, who recklessly omit to avail themselves
of the absolute protection which this famous
vegetable antidote aft rds. Intermittent and
bilious remittent fegers, rheumatism, general
debility, nervous weakness and Irregularities
CT the stomach, bowels, and liver, would be
comparatively unknown, if this palatable specific
were in universal use in the districts where they
principally prevail.

HE IS ARRAIGNED TO-DAY.

NEW YORK, November 14-Inspector Byrnes and
three OF his detectives to-day arraigned at the
tOmbS police court Col John Howard WelleS, who
was arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of
trying TO eXtort blackma1l from Jay Gould. Col

wears side whiskers and mustache. He is about
five feet eight inches In height dressed with much
propriety, and is grave and gentlemanly in
manner. He gave his residence as No. g. east 34th

evidence to sustain the complaint. The prisoner
was then taken back to police headquarters and
locked up. 1t is intimated that Inspector Byrnes
Is In possession of documentary evidence OF an i'm
portant character against Welles that has not yet
been published. Mr.. JAY Gould did not appear in
court.
Welles spent restless night in his cell at police
headquarters Toward morning symptoms OF real
illness appeared, and he complained OF fits OF ner
yous Shivering and severe chillS. A surgeon was
sent for, WhO upon examination, found him trem-
bling and utterly broken down, more apparently
by mental than by physical suffering. The ply
sic1an administered generous doses OF valerian to
the patient, which appeared to give him relief. To
the physicians question. whether he was the man
who wrote the letters Welles SAID: unfortunately.
am" He will be arra1gned in the TombS police
court again at O'Clock this afternoon.

THERE seems to be something contagious
in the land agitation of agricultural peasan-

inform US that the discomfort long prevalent

the peasantry is extensively stimulated by
the secret agents of the Nihilists. But un-
fortunately Russia has no national parlia-
