BABIES FOUND lit is a singular fac,
that people are getting careless about
babies. Every paper you pick up,
North, South, East or Vest, contains
some statement Of lost babies, strayed
babies, stolen babies, and, ala. starved
and straDgled babies! In more than
twelve years newspaper experience, we
have never seen a record to compare
with the past three months. Some OF
the tales of maternal brutality are hid

Tho NIississlppi Improyement.

The special committee on improvement of
the Mississippi river yesterday morning ex-
amined Col N. II. Hutton, engineer in charge
of the Baltimore harbor. Col. Hutton accom-
panied the special committee on the trip down
the river, and was questioned particularly as
to his observations concerning the commits
sion's plan of confining the channel, and thus
improving navigation He thought this plan
impracticable unless the work ofprotecting the
banks with mattresses could be done simulta-
neously, though he admitted that the plan
to him seemed the only one that promised inn
provement He did not think levees of the
slightest use to navigation. The whole ten
dency of his testimony was against the plan of
narrowing the river. He believed outlets
would be of great use to carry Off flood water,
and that they would not injure if they did
not improve navigation. At the close of the
examination Chairman Burrows said the COM
mittee ought to complete the hearings this
week. Mr.. Ellis said this would be impossi-
BILE as he should have ten or twelve ancient
mariners" from the river TO testify. 1t was
stated that members of the Mississippi river
commission would be examined this week.

An Onioer shoots Bin,self.

A telegram was received at the War depart
ment yesterday morning stating that Lieut..
Col. George W. Schofeld, of the sixth cavalry,
shot himself dead at Fort Apache, Arizona
territory, on the morning of the 18th inst
while at reveille.
The death of Lieut.. Col. Schofield promotes
Maj. A. P. Morrow, ninth cavalry, now on
Gen. Sherman's staff, to be lieutenant colonel,
Capt. Fred w. Benteen, seventh cavalry, to be
major, Lieut.. Charles L. De Rudio, seventh
cavalry, to be captain, and Second Lieut.. IL.
G. Sickel, seventh cavalry, to be first lieuten-
ant. 1t will be remembered that Capt. Ben
teen was with Maj, Reno at the Custer mas
sacre, and it was owing to his bravery on that
occasion that Reno's command was saved
Lieut.. Re Rudio is supposed to be one of the
three men who attempted to take the life of
Louis Napoleon, while on his way to the
opera, by throwing bombs under his carriage.

contingent expenses Of United States con-
sulates; and $1,000 for contingent expenses of
foreign missions. The committee has added
new provision appropriating $4,000 TO
defray the expenses OF bringing home the re-
mains of deceased. ministers and consuls.
The bill as it came from the house contained
proviso appended to the clause appropriating
10000 to defray the expenses of the French
American claims commission in these words
Ihat hereafter the secretary of the treasury
shall set forth in detail, as nearly as may be,
the expense of said commission that nothing
In this act shall be so construed as to extend
the time within which said commission shall
expire and make its final report" This was
stricken out by the committee as coming
directly within the scope of treaty stipula-
tions and subject for the consideration of
the senate in executive session rather than
for the appropriation committee

Taking Up n Collection.

Col. George L. Catlin, United States consul
at Stuttgart, now on a visit to this country,
was going up in the elevator at the State de-
partment the other day with friend. The
elevator was pretty full of nice-looking people
as the colonel and his friend got on. "All
these people want foreign appointments? ?" he
whispered to his friend. ~ guess So" was
the response. "Well, it's the best collection
for foreign mission L ever saw taken up" said
the colonel audibly. while the collection /"
walked the dusty echoes with laughter.-NelU
York Commercial Advertiser.
1t comes perfectly natural to Catlin to make
jokes. He used to do it at the rate of half
column per day for the Commercial advertiser
before he was pursuaded to waste his sweetness
on the desert air of a cOnsulship.

The National Board OF Health.

A strong effort is being made before con-
gress by the friends of the national board of
health to have that institution again placed
on proper footing by giving it the necessary
appropriations to carry on the immigrant in
spection service and render aid to local boards
of health to prevent the introduction and
spread of infectious and contagious diseases
The timely aid rendered by the national
board on two occasions when this city was
threatened with invasion by smallpox and
the health department found without funds
doubtless saved the community from the
scourge of an epidemic. The saving which
accrues from assistance lent at such an hour
can hardly be estimated.

Interest On Bonds.

The secretary of the treasury announces that
the three months interest due February l,
1888, on the bonds embraced in the 18th call
will be paid by checks forwarded to the regis
tered owners in the usual manner, the frac-
tional interest from that date to February 10
being paid with the principal of the bonds at
the time of redemption. The assistant treas
urer at New York has been instructed to con-
tinue the redemptions of called and uncalled
extended bonds, without rebate Of interest
but after January he will require redeposit
of the three months interest due February /.

Imposing on the Mails,

Mr.. L. Lum Smith, of Philadelphia, proprie-
tor of the Agents' Herald, made an argument
before Assist. Atty. Gen. Freeman in support
of the charges preferred by him, against
twenty-five Boston firms. The allegations arc
to the effect that these firms are using the
mails for fraudulent purposes in sending out
the flimsiest kind of jewelry, silk handker-
chiefs, and notions" which they advertise
to be valuable. Mr.. Cummings, a Boston law
yer, represented some of the parties, and an
animated argument was made. If Mr.. Smiths
charges are found to be supported, the firms
will probably be excluded from the benefits
of the postal service.
