while the City Hall, Jackson's, and Furst

sombre decorations, Kean 81 Son, Hoos u
Schultz's signs of mourning, carry the
sightseer to the railroad crossing, beyond
which Mullins furniture stores can be seen
from afar by the many entwined crosses
and streamers of black and white and black
rosettes. Beyond this the decorations are
very meagre, except at Andrew SPOTS, and
( at the Fire Department Headquarters on
Bay street. Returning down the avenue
the crowds that block the sidewalk oppo-
site the City Hall call ones attention to
the window of the B. 0. P. @. II. At this
store the decorations cannot be rivalled,
even in New York. The entire window
is laid out as miniature sanded graveyard
with a marble monument five feet high.
which sets in the center of moss plot,
surrounded by flowers. On the base the
inscription, ssGrant" is cut. On one side
of the window small field piece is mounted
on a field carriage. Smilax, the sVntoi of
peace, is entwined around the gun and
carriage, and crawling into the lannon's
mouth, reduces the terror of its menace.
In the center of the miniature plot and
directly. behind the monument, a stand of
arms is stacked, upon which hang the
motto ellis memory seals the bond his
valor united, and thanking these right and
left are two other stacks, over one of which
white dove is seen with extended wings
flying forward to deposit fern leaves upon
the monument. The entire view is backed
by heavy evergreen bushes and flowers.
Tomorrow the decorations will continue
on the front of the building Thirteen large
flags will run along the roof coping. On
the third floor the thirteen G. A. r. shields
will be placed, with a large tent below, the
blue and grey shaking hands in the back
ground, whilst on the first floor thirteen
muffied drums will complete the decora-
tions. The New Jersey Club house, corner
of Grand and Greene streets, is one mass of
black, hardly brick being seen. The
decorations are very artistic and tasteful,
and not building in New York could claim
a better setting for its mourning.

followed, but out Of the large number of

water after the lad WAS Mr.. Frank Nc

from The Mobile Re0t'ter.
There is an old cOlored woman, Hannah
Mitchell, living in Mobile whose age is
certainly fixed at l24 years. She was
born near Columbus, Ga. Her first owner
was Thomas Fugh. She came 10 Mobile
when quite young. Her next owner was
Joshua Kennedy, the next Mr. Hinson,
and the last Mrs. w. A. Smith. she
shows great are and feebleness. Her
teeth are gone, and the slight hair Of her
head is perfectly white. She was II years
old when the Revolutionary War begun,
and remembers seeing Continental sol
diers and also Tories. She heard the can
non Of the Spaniards at Fort Charlotte,
now the Gite Of the residence Of Mr.. Kirk

Gypsies and Infectious Diseases.

IRON me LONUOW DUtby NetCS.
1t is tisfactOry to be assured on the
authority of DR.. Richardson that the
vagrant and nOmadic classes in this
country are not injurious TO the public
health. The gypsies suffer from rheuma-
tism, but not from infectious disease, and
DR.. Richardson has never heard Of an
epidemic of smallpox among them. The
tramps Oryagrant beggar, dirty as they
are, do not die of infectious diseases,
though they live short lives. Their great
scOurge is intemperance. These nOmsds
of civilization escape some OF its evils in
ren0uncing its chief advantages. They
have no homes, and the diseases which
desolate homes do not affect them. On
the Otner hand, the third class of wander
ers, who carry "A home with them in the
shape Of a travelling cart Of goods or n
show, are more subject to such diseases.
1t is, however. as Mr.. Chadwick pointed
out, oveTcrOwding, more than anything
else, which faYors the spread Of infection,
and some Of the immunity which the
nomadic classes enjoy may be due to the
careful inspection Of lodging houses,
which Mr.. Chadwick showed to have been
attended with such striking results.
Our public sanitary inspectors, to whose
association DR.. Richardson spoke at the
rooms Of the Society Of Arts on Saturday,
are a most useful body OF public servants.
Their work does not attract much public
notice, but it has large and lasting re-
suits on the health of the community.
They are a sort of police of science who
quietly and etiectually prevent infrac-
tions OF the laws of public health.

THE GlNGERBREAD FAIR.
A Feature of the Easter Festivities of
the Partisan POpulaoe.
From, TIE PARIS Norning Neics.

From the Paris Morning Netos.
There is something thoroughly French
provided in the eastern part of the city.
The great gingerbread fair opens to-day.
1t has pitched its tents and made fast
its wagons in and around the Place des
Nations, and any one desiring to visit 1t
can do so by taking the Bastile omnibus.
There is no fear OF missing the fair; its
noise can be heard from afar, and
no one who objects to noise and
dust should think of going near it.
The visitor to the fair will be able to re-
alize what the Greenwich and st. Bar
tholomew festivals must have been before
their suppression, with the exception that
French crowd, though noisy, is always
sober and gOod-tempered, and IN It's COM
ponent parts, as a rule, polite.
Gingerbread is more the nominal cause
than the main staple of the fair. That
tOothache-giving edible can certainly be
found almost by the ton in the COurs de
NIncennes, but the tairgUer VIII nave
plenty to see even if he cares not to eat.
First, as TO the gingerbread. Ginger
bread is capable of being converted to
political purposes. There Will be ginger
pushed with every circumstance OF
ighOminy by gingerbread French soldiers;
possibly gingerbread statesmen Valnly en-
deaVoring to form gingerbread cabinets,
and certainly gingerbread ecolesiastics.
But men cannot be amused by ginger
bread alone. The well-kn0wn booths that
all the year round wander from one fair
to another have already taken up their
positions ON the Place DIES Nations. There
Will be found all our old-time friends OF
the Iulleres Garden and the Park of st.
CiOud-the rOundabOuJs, some worked by
steam engines, some by horses; the turn
tables, on which. the payers Of few sous
are caused to waltz by steam engine,
which at the same time plays an organ OF
most eXcruciating power; the boats
swing with sails, when bv cunninglY
devised mechanism pitch and toss in only
700 real imitation of a ship at sea.
Then there is The negro gentleman
clothed IN "a few spangles, and not much
besides, who boldly takes his stand ON a
platform and loudly challenges all corners
10 wTestle; Eliza d0mpteuSe of tleas, still
cOnquering and TO conquer. Possibly the
lady who, during her early yOuh, de-
veloped peacock's tail, and who is now
obliged TO exhibit tEat unfortunate NAL
formation in return for the pence of the
curious, has returned to town; aud at any
rate calves with two heads and so forth
will be prominent.
These sights can be seen elsewhere; but
nowhere outsi ,e France can sh0wmen be
found who can bring su h amusing en-
thusiasm to bear upon the Wanting of
their wares, and nowhere else can their
oratiOns find such a ready RESPONSE.
