Continental Drum earns.

The Continental Drum Corps, an organiza-
ton which has been one of the features of
Presidential campaigns in this city for many
years il to be revived, and it may be expected
that it will be larger and more effective than
ever before now that Names favorite son is
the candidate of the Republican candidates
Mr.. Frank Hines, who has been its COM
mander and instructor before is no longer
here; but Mr. O. F. Bacon, who has been con-
nected with the corps for three campaigns
and was Mr.. Hines assistant four years ago,
has taken hold of the matter with enthusiasm
and it is his purpose to enlist corps of at
least fifty members, all young men who are
voters. There will be an extraordinary oppor-
tunity for such an organization to do service
and win credit in this compaign for there will
be an unusual influx of distinguished leaders
of the party from all parts of the country, and
the campaign promises to be one of unequalled
interest and enthusiasm. There will be
meeting of those interested in the orsaniza-
ton of this corps at the Continental Band
room next Thursday evening at O'Clock,
when opportunity will be given to unite with
what is believed to be one of the popular cam.

The Back BAY.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Nearly every season there is "hue and cry"
from somebody relative to the Back Bay
Nuisance, 'so-called; and your correspondent
Oxford Street-has now blown blast at the
city government on the subject and thinks
''our population is going to be poisoned to
death with the internal miasma," unless
something is done very speedily. Those who
have resided on or near Oxford sire ct for the
last 80 years or more, have enjoyed as good
health, venture to say, as those who reside
in any other part of the city. Notwithstand-
ing once in great while, after very warm
day when the tide is out and the sun has lain
upon the bare fats of the bay, there may arise
in the night time little unpleasant odor,
like that from any salt marsh, but that there
is anything really unhealthy about it is only
sheer nonsense (now that the tannery nuisance
is removed) So long as these flats are washed
twice in every "a hours with salt water and
nearly every thing offensive is carried out
with the flow of the tides how then can there
be anything very deeterious to health, albeit
it may not be very pleasant to the olfactories.
But the question arises as to what is the best
way to remedy the evil?
1t has long been my opinion that the whole
trouble may be effectually removed at COM
pdfaJVely small expense, ana az the same
time make the "Back Bay" delightful place
as it now is when covered by the tide, and
what it should be and eventually will become,
valuable water power. This may be done
by planking up the westerly side of Back Cove
bridge about four or five feet, thus cresting
dam, with suitable gates, made to open and
close with the flow and ebb of the tide, the
fats may be kept covered with water all the
time, so that all offensive efiuvia would be
prevented. The current at the ebb of the tide
from the Cove is very rapid and everything
on the surface would flow to the channel and
thus pass off over the dam or through the
gates, which could be occasionally opened for
that purpose. This is the plan proposed by
Col. Chas. @. Clapp, when filling in his land
on the bay many years ago. La this way a
great public improvement may be made and
instead of the bay being filthy place or
base sheet of mud unpleasant to the beholder
and especially SO to the many strangers who
visit our city in the summer, it would become
as clearly and as beautiful as lake, ceaslng to
annoy any of our citizens in any part of the
with city unpleasant odors in the night time
when they desire to have their windows open
for fresh air.
1t is hoped the city government will take
heed to this matter and ascertain without de-
lay the probable expense Of such plan.

Good Wishes.

Captain Abbey of the United States Reve-

on the coast of Maine the past three years has
besn transferred to the command of the Grant

be deeply regretted. He has made a large
circle of friends by his geniality, his unvary-
ing kindness, and in the very many ways in
which an officer in his position has an opportu-
nifty to show sympathy and desire to please.
He has also proved himself an excellent officer
and the reports from his station give proof of
the valuable services his steamer has rendered
under his command. The best wishes of our

CITY AND VICINITY.
Remarkable Cure of Sprsined Back and
Weak spine.
No. 1856 FIFTH AVENUE, New YORK,
April "a, 1884.


Some years ago in lifting a heavy weight,
something broke in the small of my back, and
was confined to my bed for over three months.
could not sit up without intense pain, and
the lower part of my body was cold and numb.
The first physician used liniments, aps cum.
aud much rubbing; the second tried electricity:
the third burned me with hot iron; the fourth
tried a capcine plaster; then in succession
capcicin and strengthening pIasters; but all in
vain. AT the end of three months l was no
better; could not sit up or walk. In despair
discharged my doctors and for some weeks
did nothing. Then 1 saw the case of Mrs.
Hammel of Rooksway Beach, cured of weak
spine by Allcock's Pasters, and bought three;
one applied at the small of the back, and
the other two above. l noticed nothing the
first day; the second, considerable itcning was
felt all along the spine. aud the more itching
the better l felt. The third day the legs were
less numb. The fourth day considerable per-
SEPARATION appeared under the plasters, SO they
were taken off, the spine we'll rubbed, and in
four hours three fresh Allcock's Plasters were
put on. Next morning the itching began
again and new life appeared to flow ia my
NOihS' AAoSO Pldptcic Hodfiy u WEEK.
They we're then removed was we'll rubbed
aud I waited twenty-fours before putting on
fresh Allcock's Plasers. After this began
to sit up in bed a little. Goodness and numb
ness were gone. Every day was stronger,
bstter aud more hopeful. The plasters ap-
peared to act on the brain through the spine
and filled me with nervous force. changed
the plasters every four dayc. In one month
after using Allcock's Plssters got up and
walked little. In six weeks felt almost
well and resumed business, bat wore the
plasters for some months. Whenever 1 catch
cold now it appears to settle on the weak spot,
and lays me up for day or 50, but couple of
Allcock's Plasters, SO soothing aud penetrating,
quickly cure me. I must say here believe
these plasters are the best external remedy
ever discovered. How much suffering would
have been saved If 1 had only got hold of
them first have told my story out of graft
tude. and that suffering humanity may profit
by my experience. shall be happy to answer
any written or personal inquiries in relation to
my wonderful cure, of which 1 have written
very brief outline.

SAD AFFAIR,
Suicide of Mr. DeGro of the Union
Mutual Life Insurance Company.

Yesterday the community was shocked by
the intelligence that Mr., Nicholas DeGroot,
the well Known assistant secretary of the Un-
ion Mutual Life Insurance Company of Maine
had committed suicide by drowning. Mr.. De
Groot was AZ years of age and married, but had
no children. He was very capable man almost
Invaluable in his position, He had an attack
OF nervous melancholia about two years ago,
and his mania took the form of an idea that
he was unable TO perform the duties of his
Office. He took a vacation at that time and
the change with medical treatment, soon re-
stored him to health
About six weeks ago President Dewitt was
called to New York, and Mr.. Smith, the secre'
tary, was also summoned from the city. Mr..
Deuroot became possessed with the idea that
the whole responsibility of the company rested
on his shoulders, which was absurd and in-
duced no doubt by return of his old trouble
He was Immediately given a vacation, and
went down to his cottage at Little Diamond
Island. He has been in the habit of visiting
his yacht, the Nokomis, which was anchored
short distance from the island, every morning,
rowing out to her in the yachts tender. Yes
terdsy morning he went aboard the vessel as
usual. He did not return at noon, and some
OF the cottagers went out to the yacht after
him. They found in the yachts cabin, Mr..
DeGroot's hat and coat, his pocket book with
the money in it, and a note addressed to his
wife. The contents of the note showed con-
clusvely that the unfortunate mans reason
was unsettled. He had probably Invested
himself of his coat and hat, stepped into the
tender, fastened to his person TIE twenty-five
pound mooring-weight belonging 10 the boat
and drowned himself.
President Dewitt, Mrs. De Witt, DIR. T. A.
Foster, and other officers of the company char
tered a steamer and went to the island as soon
as they received the news. Mrs. DeGroot
was completely broken down, and she was
brought to the city to Mr.. DeWitt's. Every
effort is being made TO recover the remains
Mr.. DeGroot was a very careful, prudent
man, always living within his means Last
April his salary was increased to $1,000 a
year. He came to the Union Mutual in 1877
as cashier, from the United States Life Insur-
ance Company. where he was cashier, and
soon after was promoted to assistant secretary
He was born in Brooklyn, N. Y, where he
married his wife He leaves policies of insur.

239 WEST 22d STREET,

New YORK, May II, 1885,
Though it may be irregular for physician
to give a certificate ia favor OF proprietar
medicine, still, in the cause OF humanity,
venture to say word in favor of ALLcocK's
POROUS PLAsrERs, which 1 esteem the most
remarkable external remedy of this century.
Lave known these Plasters to cure Spinal
Weakness where the patient had been con-
fined for months to his bed. A blacksmith of
my acquaintance was severely injured in the
back by kick of horse; four ALLoocK's Po-
RoUs PLAsTERs quickly relieved him of excru-
Chatting agony and cured him in week An
other patient, suffering with Neuralgia of the
Heart, was completely cured in four hours.
In Asthma, l know of case where they
were worn for three months and fully restored
the health. In another case where patient
had Sporadic Cholera, nothing relieved him
until be put on three ALLCocKs Porous PLAs-
TIERS; in twelve hours all pains iu his chest and
stomach disappeared. know that these Plas-
tiers, applied on the pit of the stomach, are a
sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia and Constipa-
ton.
Finally, II persons once use ALLcocK's Po-
RoUs PLAsTERs they will never use any other;
they are SO pleasant, quick and painless-na.
