THE DEPARTED GLORIES OF HALIFAX.
IRON SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIB. SE'i
HALIFAX. England, January To-
Halifax has been famous town 1Or ages O"n-
den most reverend head" said IN his day. thaV IL
had not this name many centuries being ooco
called Horton. The name was changed through
the vlllainv of priest who becoming enamored OF
beautiful Horton girl (Ilalfa1 to TINS day Is
noted for pretty faces but finding herimpervious 10
his Establishments cut off her mead and hung 1t on
a view tree. The head grew to the tree and many
neonle visited the SPOT and each person pulled OIL
some twigs of .he tree. The tree, stripped OF It's
branch.s seams to have maintained Its reputation
for sanctity among the credulous. and the vulgar
tancied that the little veins spteat Ike mar Vi
threads between the bark and body OF the yew tree
were TIE murdered maiuens Identical mars
pilgrimage was started to the place ana such con-
eourse came that the village OF Horton grew INTO
large Town and took the name OF HallZ oex' OF
MISUNDERSTANDING Holy-Fair. The town clerk
OF Halifax told me that until recently the seal OF
the town had for its device bush with human
hair growing from it, evidently referring 10 the IRA
diton. Halifax was once owned by the Warrens
and in an outburst of generosity one OF thelr ears
made it present lin 1889 to the Abbey of Lewes
In a conversation with the present Mayor Mr. Ma
than Whitley, was told that Halifax was to-day the
find by the way, by reference to Camden, that IL
enioyed centuries ago when il VAS said that haIaH
was more famous for the argeness of its parish than
for having been the birthplace of Sac1o Bosco or Tor
the eifectna way it dealt with thieves "haVlng
eleven chapels and about 1900 souls, so hat the
inhabitants often say their parish maintains more
men than any other kind of animals" am not
unite sure whether the use of the word animals Oy
Camden was not "a delicate sarcasm, Tor III their
treatment Of one another the ancient families oil
Halifax "who attended church regularly and an
swered the calls of the vicar. were more Ike VITA
animals than anything else. JUDGED Hull and Hail
fax have long been bracketel with hell itself; Hull
on account of its rigid discipline to beggais for they
whipped all the foreign poor and then ret the poor
fellows to work; and Halifax for the wholesale
manner in which they cut of the heads OF thieves.
Hence the old litanv:
From Hell, Hull and Halifax,
Good Lord deliver us.
The early history of Halifax Is sensational enough
for the most sanguine appelites. In the present par
ish is Ehand. a place noted for one OF the most
bloodthirsty exhibitions Of passion and revenge
recorded aud the scene OF famous " Ballad OF sir
John Eland.| The account Of this tragedy Is pub
lshed in an old history of Halifax written over
century ago 1t may be found in the appendix,
and Is thus announced:

THE DISTRICT REFORM SCHOOL.

Interesting Statistics In Reference TO the
Inmatcs--The Condition OF the Institu-
tion.
The trustees Of the District Reform school,
in their annual report, say That under the
management of Col. J. G. Shalleuberger, who
was elected superintendent about eighteen
months ago, the school has been placed on a
better basis than it ever was before. He has
improved the buildings and surroundings.
As resort the institution has attained a
higher state of efficiency. The boys are more
content and while being more ambitious to
gain their release and begin life anew, there
are fewer attempts ON their part to escape.
The receipts from the farm and workshops
have greatly increased
The number of boys committed during the
year were "a, which, added to the number re-
naming June 30, 1882 t143l, makes tho num-
ber Of inmates 217 OF these a have beon
discharged during the year, leaving 140 re-
naming on June 30, 1888. OF those COM
mitted during the. year were by the SUI
preme court, AZ by the police court, and "a
by the president of the board. ThIrty-seven
were committed for incorrigbility and % for
larceny. OF the "a admitted 10 could read
and IL could write. There was only one
death during the year among the boys.
The receipts from the farm, orchards, and
workshops were SO, 1850. The much needed
barn is building A farm hospital has been
built, as also large hog pen. A chapel and
another family building are needed.
1t is hoped congress will appropriate money
to make general repairs. The estimates for
tho appropriation for the institution for the
next fiscal year are: For salaries, $1O926;
subsistence and supplies, $2l $50.
Supt. q. A. Shallenberger reports that since
tho schools establishment, Jan. 10, 1870 SS6
boys have been received, at q average age of
1874 years. The boys ranged from 6 to 10
years. There were only deaths since the
opening. The rate of mortality is 1.75 per
cent. There were II discharged.
The religious training of boys was Bap-
tist, 10; Catholic, IL; Episcopal, 6; Jewish,
l I; Methodist 16; Presbyterian, 3; no re-
ligion, 90.
The superintendent states that he employs
the mildest form of coercion possible to Sc
cure obedience. The general manners, morals,
and character of the boys is commented
upon.
The boys are taught to earn by labor par
tial support for themselves. No provision
is made for teaching special trades. They
are put to work at plain tailoring, chair
Gaming, on the farm, and different other
branches
The receipts of the institution for the year
were $44, ,849.9S. Its disbursements were $44,-
71SS8; balance on hand, $131.10.
The physician in charge, Dr. Wells, reports
that the rooms of the hospital are we'll
adapted for their purpose, and the medical
supplies ample.

Annual Report OF Commodore J. g. Wal
ker M TO Its Operations.

Annual Report OF commodore Js Is Wai-
ker M 60 Its Operations.
Tho annual report Of Commodore j. q.
Walker. chief of the bureau of navigation,
navy department, gives the estimates for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1885, at $433, ,176,
of which amount $239,0O0 is for tho naval
service, and the $194,176, for salaries, &c.
Commodore Walker says that the former COM
pass hitherto in use. has boon found to have
insufficient directive force and sensibility.
The reasons given last year for the erection
of suitable building in which to test tho
compasses for the use of the navy
have additional force because of the con-
struction of the four steel cruisers
and the completion Of the Eve monitors au-
thorized by congress. The commander of
the Trenton, which is the first United States
naval vessel lighted by electricity has been
directed to report in detail upon the practical
effects on the routine work Of o ship of war
by this system of Lighting With tho view
of reducing the expenses of the bureau, min
eral oil has been adopted for illuminating
purposes in the receiving and stationary
ships. An appropriation of $1,000 is recon
mended for the purchase of indispensable
professional books for the naval library
The suggestion made in former reports
that congress be requested to adopt the re-
vised international regulations for preventing
collisions at sea is renewed. 1t is recon-
mended that rules IL and 20, revised statutes,
in regard to collisions at sea be modified so as
to give deep draught ships the right Of way
in deep narrow channels. Work on the sur
vey OF the west coasts of Mexico and Central
America is progressing south and east of the
gulf of Fonseca A recommendation is made
for the continuation OF the publication of a
weekly wind and current chart as sug-
gested by Lieut.. Maury. Attention is called
to the suggestion Of the officer Of the
photographic office in relation to the
Importance of printing charts from electro
types taken from the engraved plates of sur
veys. 1t is recommended that the work Of
the photographic Office in future be more
especially directed to the production of new
charts from surveys made by our own officers.
1t is also recommended that new surveys be
made of portions of the north coast of South
America, of the island of San Domingo and
of various reported dangers in the Pacific
ocean. An examination has developed the
existence in many of the nautical
instruments belonging to the bureau
of serious defects which render them unfit
for issue to the service. A special appropris-
tion is asked for the printing of publications
of the naval observatory which have been
ready for several years. The report states
that the naval observatory is ready to give
the time of any point in the United States to
those who are prepared to receive it. The
erection OF new buildings for the naval observ-
atory is strongly urged. Attention is invited
to the suggestion of the superintendent of
the nautical almanac Office for the issue of an
almanac more especially adapted to the use OF
coasting vessels.

MILITARY JUSTICE.
Report OF Judge Advocate General Swain
Recommendation Made.

y
Recommendations Made.
In his annual report, Judge Advocate Gem
eral Swain, of the army, states that the num-
ber of records of trial received, revised, and
recorded during the year ended Sept. 80,
1883, was 1885, being an increase of 131 over
last year. The number of reports and opin-
ions rendered upon courts martial and mis-
cellaneous questions of law was 1,4S7, an in
crease of 596 over last year. The number of
records of garrison and regimental courts
martial filed at headquarters was S,404. He
renews the recommendation contained in a
former report that the seventy second
article of war be amenended by ex-
pressly authorizing the President of the
United States and colonels commanding
separate departments to appoint general
courts martial whenever necessary. Gen.
Swain, in commenting upon the severity of
the punishment of enlisted men for itrihing
offences, says that "a practice has obtained of
late of trying enlisted men for trifling ab-
senses and neglects before general courts
martial and alleging in the specifications
prior convictions of similar or even dissimi-
lar ohenses, SO that by adding prior minor
convictions to an offense triiing in ITSELF the
soldier may be dishonorably discharged and
confined in q military prison."
This Is an instance of attempting to hold
She enlisted men of the army together and to
their duty by fear of punishment and dis
grace. He says that this system of alleging
an aggregation of convictions for minor
offenses should be referred to congress for ap-
propriate legislation. In regard to the ques-
tion of the limitation to prosecution for de-
sertion, Gen. Swain holds that a court mar
tial has exclusive jurisdiction to try party
duly enlisted in the army for the offense of
desertion, and that the Limitation prescribed
for the trial and punishment of that
offense by the one hundred and third
article of war is matter of de-
Tense, and the tribunal having Jurisdiction
to try the charge of deserton, is the tribunal
having jurisdiction to determine whether
the bar OF the statute has attached or not.
He renews the recommendation that the au-
thority conferred upon the judge advocate of
court martial, by section 1902. revised stat
utes, to issue process to compel witnesses to
appear and testify, be penalty sanctioned.
He says the clerical force allowed his Office is
totally inadequate, and recommends an in
crease, and asked for additional room for the
use of the office.
