Mr. ker " dropped into poetry" yesterday to find
hitting description OF one OF Brady's expedtted
routes over which the mail was usually carried in
boot He followed his poetic description with
the statement that this route, running through a
barren region, OF no service TO anybody, yielded
'he ring contractors an annual profit under the
system OF expedition OF 1880 And this route
affords one of the midest illustrations OF that sys
tenn devised by Brady and practiced for the public
good"

The Canadian Civil Service commission is now holding examinations under the act passed last year both for admissions to the service and for promotions. The Toronto Star in discussing the workings of the law says that the qualifying examinations held last fall for candidates for admission to the service resulted very satisfactorily. ''The men who have received appointments since that date show decidedly higher average of attainments and ability than those appointed under the old system.' This result was, it says, to have been expected. fnasmuch as the competitive plan is "founded on common sense and on @ recognition of the right of the country to have the civil service controlled in it's interest, and not simply in the interest of the politicians and office holders."

OUR SOUTHERN VISITORS.

The visitors from Charleston did not reach New Haven yesterday as soon as they ex- pected to, but doubtless the delay made them all the more glad to get here. When they did finally arrive their welcome was g warm one, and they were made to feel lat home" as speedily and heartily as possible. The Washington Light Infantry is 8 fine looking body of men and evidently deserves the praise that has been bestowed upon it wherever it has been seen in the North. It's progress through the streets of New plause from the crowds. who were glad to see the southerners and admired their sol- dierly bearing and excellent marching. The parade as a whole was 8 fine affair, and the banquet in the evening was 8 fitting supple ment to the exercises of an interesting and joyous day.
 One of the most significant incidents of the ceremonies occurred when the troops were drawn up in line on State street and the Washington Light Infantry passed in review to the right of the line. As they went by the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic the latter sent up cheer after cheer for their ''southern brethren" and not few who were looking on were deeply imL ressea by the occurrence. The increase of fraternai feeling between the North and the South is the chief good which results from such meet ings as that now taking place in our city. And that such feeling may grow rapidly and strong is the prayer of all who love their country.

Especially at an Alumni Dinner.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The New York Independent (June ? heads an article against 8 popular custom "A Public Nuisance" It then says 'It is not the least of the evils that accompany the use of tobacco that it seems to make its de- voices unmindful of the rights of others. We do not deny that it comes within the limits of personal liberty to smoke or not to smoke. * * * But it is other peoples business if one choose to assert that right in public places It is just at this point that the nuisance" so often comes in. Any gentleman of culture, except such as are addicted to the use of to- baeco, is likely to see and appreciatethis. But where is tho public room, hall, depot or steamboat, or stage, where this is remember ed and regarded, unless the room, hall, boat, or stage is placarded all over with prohibition of the evil. Indeed, it is not even then re- garded. If the official is out of sight, or oc- cupied in some duty, some young sprout, or quite as likely, some old grey-haired 'shuisance, will pull out cigar and match and begin to taint the air and saturate the clothes of both ladies and gentlemen till one + is ashamed nnda to to ,f enter r. the the clean clean; even for a short call.
 And one of the sad facts in the case is that even in our higher schools and colleges, which all admit should be centers of clean culture and refinement, the preparation for this common nuisance is encouraged and fostered by the example of some of the teach CTS and professors. And one not accustomed to deal much in satire could hardly help be- ing in deep sympathy with the alumnus of Yaie college who in the JOURNAL AND COURIER, May 21st, calls the attention of the officials of the college, and of President Por- ter in particular, to the necessity of pro- yiding matches and tobacco, at the coming alumni dinner, for the smoking alumni, double portion for the graduating class, etc This, the writer said, would be ''for the good of the seven or eight hundred other alumni pres ent.'' For, as stated, ''it will not only give 8 relish to the food eaten by the non-smoking alumni, but it will delight the ladies in the east gallery, who will be there by invitation" But in sober earnest, does it not seem almost incredible that gentlemen, graduates of our oldest and best colleges, who would not only deplore, but rebuke any incivility to guest in their own elegant homes, will, when abroad in public places. not only wink at but encourage by example, "a public nui- sance,' in young men and older men There must be 'some diabolism' in the demoraliz- ing weed w.

THE BATTLE OF STROME FERRY.
 A Sunday question" has been seriously disturbing the west coast of Scotland. and the manner in which it was treated shows that the Scotch are still Scotch. Some of ''the unregenerate'' have been in the habit of carrying fish by steamers and railroads on Sunday. ministers have lately protest ed strongly against this dissertation of the holy day. One clergyman carried his ar raignment so far that he attributed the fail ure of the local fishing to the dissertation of Sunday. He told his simple minded hearers that heaven was punishing the wickedness of the land, and that they need not hope to reap the harvests of the sea along their own shores while they permitted the curers of Storno- way to send fish through the country to the London markets on the Lords day.
 The discussion 'fcame to head' two or three Sundays ago at Strome Ferry, opposite the Island of Skye. No sooner had 8 couple of steamers, packed full of herrings, arrived from Stornoway and the distant Hebrides and begun to unload at midnight, than Sunday began to assemble. The shippers had engaged special train and fully expect cd to deliver their fish in London early on Monday morning. But before many boxes of herrings were on the quay, up marched some fifty stalwart men, armed with clubs, and gave notice that it was the morning of Sunday and that all work must be stopped. The officer of the steamer reMonstrated, and assured them that the work was of absolute JoIox oek e, would surely spoil the fish. The crowd made answer that, even so, nothing could be done. While the talk was going on endorsements came in on both sides. The sailors and railroad men armed themselves with hand spikes and sticks and attempted to clear the quay. But they got cleared themselves. The railroad agent sent for help and ''chief constable, /" clothed with all the majesty of the law and accompa- nied by six subordinates, hastensd to Strome Ferry. When they got out of the cars they found 150 determined and conscientious Scotchmen waiting for them. Boldly and reso1utely did the chief constable and his fol lowing do their duty, by charging the crowd and attempting to drive them of the pier. The crowd, however, were equally resolute, and were, moreover, armed with cudgels, so that it is not surprising that many serious in juries were inflicted on both sides. The chief ernissary of the law is reported to have been severely handled" as also were one or two of the policemen. Six times the consta- bIes and the railroad men charged the mob, and each time they were driven back in con fusion. At last the police took refuge in the train and steamed back to where they came from. decidedly the worse for their venture.
 After the fight was oyer there was 8 strange scene. The victorious Scotchmen assembled on the quay and held religious services, con sisting of praise and prayer, the reading of appropriate selections from the bible and ex- hortations to maintain the sanctity of Sum- day The devotional exercises were led by an elder of the Free Church, and were sus- tained with little intermission till close upon midnight Thus ended the battle of SIrome Ferry

Found live in the Cargo of q ship.
 From the New York Sun


 While 'longshoremen were unloading lot of telegraph wire from the steamship De Ruyter, at the foot of West Twenty fourth street, yesterday, they found small black and tan terrier in the center of coil that lay on the floor of the ship He had been slowed away there in some way while the ship was loading, and was unable to escape. During the passage the wire had shifted, and one leg of the little animal WAS caught under the coil The leg was broken, and he was pinned down for no one knows how many days. The ship sailed from Antwerp on May 12th MT. H. E. Peterson, United States customs inspector, who was present, says that the dog was greatly emaciated by his fast of twenty-five days. He WAS very cross when found, and bit the hand of one of the men who attempted to release him, mak- ing very painful wound. His temper inn proved after he had some water. His broken leg and his general health were attended to by the ships surgeon, and he will hereafter serve as one of the crew of the De RuyteR

They do things quserly in Boston. The latest ''notion" reported is that of a resident of that city who had become tired of life, but being firm believer in the Bible did not think it right to commit suicide. But he had heard it preached that 8 death-bed repent ance was sufficient to ensure salvation. He made careful study of this doctrine, con- suited several cIergymen (though without disclosing to them what he had in contempla- tion) and at length settled it in his own mind that the sinner who repented at the last mo- ment was as sure of heaven as anyone who lived sancti6ed for yssxs Having settled that point to his own satisfaction, he sought a means of suicide which, while certain to kill, would leave him conscious long enough to make his peace with heaven. So he swallow ed deadly poison and was taken to hospi- tai to die. There he repented,' says the

 Christmas Celebration Interesting
 Occasion.
 The Sunday school of the German Baptist church. on George street, Mir. E. Crisand, superintendent, had their annual Christmas entertainment last evening. The church was crowded. In front was 8 large Christmas tree gaily lighted, and behind it a cart load of large paper bags. one for each class, filled with smaller bags, each laden with Christ mas treat, so that each scholar was remem- bered The tree was also heavily laden with cornucopias. Addresses were made by the pastor, Rev. E. W. Appel and Superintend- ent Crisand. There was singing by quar- te:te from the church choir, duet by the Misses LiefeIdt and a solo by Oh arles Cris- and, also speaking and singing by the scholars of the Sunday school. Special mention is to be made of the good speaking by Henry Stroeple and Theo- dore Rapp. The recitations were well given, and one by young lady, whose selection was the sailor on the sinking ship, WAS very mer- itorious. The school nu mbers eighty schol- ars, and the church has larger branch school. Mir. Stroeple superintendent, which meets in the Bethany chapel on Oak street. Pastor Appel, since his coming to the church about year and half ago, has baptized thirty seven and added fifty new members The branch Sunday school has it's annual Christ mas entertainment next Wednesday evening.

Board of Aldermen.

Another DisRgreeinE Vote on Estimates The Councilmen to be called Togethe el this Evening.
 A special meeting of the Board of Alder men was held last evening, His Honor Mayor Lewis presiding.
 The estimates for 1884 were then taken up The action of previous boards was reac showing that the estimates had been agreed upon by the two boards, except that regarding the Court street pavement. The Board o1 Aldermen voted to change the item for the Court street pavement from $4, 1000 tc | $4,O15, and in this action the Common Council disagreed and voted to adhere tc their former action striking out the Court street item.
 His Honor the Mayor stated that both boards must agree on their est mates, and that this had always been the rule. It was question in his mind whether the disagree. ing vote on one item would involVs the en- tire estimates.
 Alderman Benton said if the estimate was right in regard to Court street pavement he saw no reason why the Board of Aldermen should not insist and again call for commit tee of conference.
 Alderman Klsnke thought a conclusion should be reached in some way. If, he said the two boards did not agree, there would have to be other meetings of the two boards.
 His Honor said that he saw no other way but to call the Board of CounciImen together on Thursday night and both boards again on Friday night. Proceeding, His Honor gave a brief history of the Court street pavement matter. He then appointed Aldermen States and Baldwin as a committee on conference, and the Board adjourned.
 The Board of Councilmen is warned to meet this evening, as will be seen by advertisement in another column.
