THE CITY COURT,

Judge Studley's appointments have been, we suppose, authentically announced. We are sorry that we cannot congratulate him tunity. These appointments are of the same sort that has so long degraded the City court to mere source of political patronage. They are no better and no worse than many that have been made for the same roason in the past. They are the result of compromise between conflicting political claims" as, indeed, such appointments usually have been.
 Appointments of this kind are not now looked upon as they have been in the past. The people have come to understand how little fitness has had to do with appointments to office. It no longer satisfies the popular wish or the sentiment of the Republican party to choose 8 man to office merely be- cause he has done party work or because he represents some particular interest. The majority of the party, and, indeed, the best elements of both parties, demand that the se- lection shall be made and made solely on the ground of fitness. We might say that this sentiment is almost universal in the Republi- can ranks, if we except those who make pol itics profession.
 We have understood that Judge Studley made no pledges or bargains to secure his own election. We supposed he was entirely free to consider in his appointments no other interests than those of the public. We believed he would not be controlled by poli- tieians or political reasons. We had every ground to hope that ae would be governed by those principles of reform which within the last few years have become the principles of his party. He proposes to remove a man unfit for the office of prosecuting attorney, though backed by no ineonsiderable inf1u- ence. We hoped he would follow up so ju- dicious course by making appointments conspicuous for their fitness. We are sorry to confess ourselves disappointed in this last respect We are still more disappointed to recognize that the time has not yet come when New Haven judge can feel himself at liberty to make appointments to New Ha- ven court solely with reference to the wei fare of the city.

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the only sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that uotAEhg but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition; and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.

Collars and oaF. at Troy.

From Troy Letter to Chicago Tribune.1
 The growth of the collar and cuff industry in this city has been amazing. Thirty years ago there were two of these manufactories. employing about 25 hands To-day there are 100 different collar shops, furnishing employ ment to 4,000 females and 1,000males Thou sands upon thousands of dozens Of collars and cuffs are manufactured daily and no less than 38, 000, 900 yards of thread are consumed weekly. It is computed that the female oper- atives alone at least $38. 900 is paid every week. The girls-no matter how ancient the feminines, if they are collar and cuff opera tives, they are invariably called girls-earn from $4 to $35 per week. The $35 class contains but one representa- ve, and she is known throughout the different shops as 'tthe boss collar girl of Troy" This fortunate person is jolly, bright-eyed Irish woman about 36 years of age. Her name is Mrs Hagerty, and she tips the scale at 240 pounds. She has followed the business for years, and a month ago. upon her marriage to a cigar merchant of this city, paid $8, ,000 in cash for 8 residence in 8 central part of the town. This and other money stored away she earned by hard work upon the pieces of linen that encircle the necks and wrists of civilized hu- manity. The second day after her marriage she WAS in her accustomed place at the shop, and matrimonial cares do not prevent her from still crediting to her account $35 every six days. This woman alone disposes of week ly 20. 900 yards of thread.
 Has the wearer of collar or a pair of cuffs ever thought of the operations through which the linen bands pass before ready tor the mar ket ? First the "cutters " hew from the rolls of linen the proper sizes; then the runners stitch the pieces together; then the' turner's turn and press them into shape; then the ssstitchers" insert the row or rows of top stitches; then the button holders, l" with and without machines, as the work may demand, prepare the buttonholes; then forewomen ex- anime the work minutely, and if any defect is found it is returned to the faulty operative to be rectifed; then the work goes to the laundry then upon it's return it is again scru- tinized. counted in dozens, tied with ribbons and placed in boxes. Then, and not till then, is the article ready for civilizations adorn- ment. The laundries form another branch of the collar and cuff industry, and give employ ment to l, 900 more girls. The latter are generally not so refined and dressy as the '-collar girls" but for eheerfulness, famili- arity. mischief and slang ''they collar the cuff" On summer days when sturdy men fall prey to the heat, the laundry girls sing and labor in stifiing steam with arms barred to the elbow.

Cock Pheasants and Dead Chinamen-
 Shanghai.

Shanghai.
 From the London Field
 The ground is succession of fields in a high state of cultivation, with small patches of grass, usually mounds, sown, or rather heaped. with graves; and the Chinaman's grave Cor rather his coffin, for in eight cases out of ten the simple coffin with the carcass is standing on the ground, is the favorite habitat of the Chinese pheasant. I am not exaggerating when say you can't cross three fields in any direction without coming to canal or creek, the country being reg ular maze of waterways, and then you must go half mile out of your way to find 8 bridge or a boat to take you across When this occurs about seventy-five times during the day it becomes monotonous. It is quite true that you never know what will get up and from where; pheasant aud woodcock rise together out of @ bean-feld, a deer jumps up from the back of grave, while a covey of bamboo partridges and a hare get up from the back garden of farmhouse where there are so many old women and children that you have carefully put your gun on half-cock to avoid accidents. Then. when bird once gets up, the chances are that he crosses about five creeks before he comes down again, and you never see him again. Now, as to the shooting of Chinese pheasants, I am of opinion that, short of 8 Martini rifle and six drams of powder, the Macleod bullet is about the best form of pro iectile if you want to kill. The vitality of this extraordinary specimen of feathered fowl is second only to that of the boa con- strictcr. I shot an old cock, hit him very hard, and saw he did not like it; marked him down, walked him down he got up again and bow1ed him oyer Do you think got that crocodile? Bless you, no. went to the place and heard him futtering in thick grass with the dog after him, and in A moment he got up again and flew away POO or 300 yards. I never saw him again. l concluded bird like that would not be nourishing to eat, even if I did get him, so gave it up. And as for running, 1t IS simply incredible how they run. I brought down 8 cock pheasant yesterday, but before you could wink almost he was across field, through hedge and over a bank, with my self, two dogs, two beaters, and about ten Chinese running after him. When we got over the bank, of course he was nowhere to be seen, and left the entire population of a village looking for him. expect they are looking still. fancy this extraordinary yi- tslity of Chinese pheasants has some con nection with their living on, or at least among, the remains of deceased Chinese The soul of the Chinese grandam may hap1y iphabit the body of pheasant, but it is certain that you are more likely to find 8

These endless coffns, in all stages of newness and decay, aggravated me a good deal one is always stumbling over skull or thigh bone just whom you want to take steady aim. When the fragments get little disconnected the sorrowing relatives collect 8 few principal bones and put them in jar |; so you usually find the skull inside, and 8 thigh bone half in and half out of an earth en jar, looking like spoon to stir the matter inside. The pheasants don't care for bones at this stage-there is nothing to be got of them, suppose.
