SHAM battles are not always what they
purport to be, and while they furnish little
mild excitement yet it is questionable If they
are productive of any good result in any par
ticular. They had sham battle at a recent
reunion and grand army encampment at
Princeton, New Jersey, and the following
shows that it, for few moments, had all the
realities Of the genuine article: Give hun
dred men took part in the battle, the men
being divided into equal numbers, to represent
the Rebels and Union men. The Rebels
had possession of the camp and had FIVE
pieces OF artillery with which to defend il.
They were commanded by Colonel Cooper,
OF the Sixth regiment OF National Guards.
The Union forces took their position on a
knoll at the opposite end of the grounds, and
had three pieces Of artillery. Commander o.
+. Cole, Of Jersey City, led them. Both
sides had pickets and skirmish lines thrown
out The Union forces advanced and drove
in the pickets, when the skrmish lines COM
menced brisk FIRE. Both lines were driven
back after brisk firing, and the two forces APP
preached in line of battle. The Union forces
advanced but were thrown back by the Rebels.
The blood of the Grand Army men aroused,
until the excitement Of the combatants car
RED them beyond the control Of their
officers. The militia obeyed orders toler-
ably well, but the veterans we're reused
by the smell Of powder and booming of can
non, which were constantly throwing blank
shells over the heads Of the combatants. Both
sides charged fercely and the lines came so
close that the guns Of each were fired directly
in the faces Of each contes ting side. In the
excitement the old soldiers even dubbed their
muskets and prepared for real fight. Their
ardor was suddenly quenched by the sight oil
the wounded on the ground where the fight
had been the closest. The battle was quickly
ended by the surrender of the rebels, and the
attention Of the soldiers were given to the in.
jured OF their wounded comrades. Many o.
these were only slightly hurt by wads, oil
burned by powder, and walked off calling fo
aid. Thirteen, however, were so badly in
lured as to require the services Of the regi
mental surgeon, DIR. Godfrey. Great excite
ment prevailed on the grounds, where severa
thousand people were gathered, until it wa
known that none of the wounded would die

A RUSSIAN newspaper, the Novost, pub
lished at ST. Petersburg, gives the following
about the United States, which is simply
roundabout way OF hitting the Government
by reason Of its Pan-slavistic tendencies
"The United States is open to everybody who
is willing to work. Nobody'is hindered there
from applying his hand to any trade, or from
investing his capital in any business. Amer
lean citizens never would sacrifice their real
interests to an Elusive idea, such as freeing
Canada from the English or putting the
American flag on the towers of Mexico. The
Americans are fully aware that the only con-
quests worth any trouble and expense are
those to be made in their own country. II
you said to the citizens of the United States
that it was their duty to bring all the English
speaking nations into a union or a State they
would pity you as a crazy man."

THE HUNTERS POINT NUIsANCEs

The various industries which have made Hunters
Point and its vicinity by-worl and reDroach have
at last reused the ire Of the long suffering citizens
and IN measure the nuisance has been suppressed.
Several Of the varnsh factories however, have formed
a league and resolved tO the accuse ions
brought against them, taking the ground that no
definite charge can be sustained and that the ex,
halatIons from their factories are IN
nowise injurious to health. Others have
improved their machinery and assert that
by so doing the cause of complaint has been re-
moved. The Health Commissioners, who have been
much criticised, deny that any charge of negligence
fairly be brought against them, and say that so
far as possible efforts have been made 10 render
Long Island City and all adjacent points
heathful and free FROM manufactures which are
injurious to health and detrimental 10 property.
Dr. H. 7. Dennler, who hss for many years been
connected with the Health Department, said yes
terday to TRIBUNE reporter that
there was no foundation for the rumor
that the Commissioners had been indicted for
neglect of their duties either in Long Island City,
Blissvle or Astoria. He added that the state
Board OF Health had taken the matter largely
out of local hands, and had suppressed
10 great xtent the worst features of the nuisance
lie considered the general condition of Long Island
City greatly improved, but maintained that much
unjust censure had been heaped upon the city
officials for evils which really existed IN Green
point, and were consequently beyond their juris-
dlctlOn,
