THE fearful Frauds perpetrSt9d on The
country through the navy department,
under RoBKsoN ami CHANDLER are
graphically SGT forth in facts collated
by the Chicago Times, At The close Of
tho war we had navy that cost 3A,-
100000, and had no superior in the
world. From that time it commenced
TO decline. Under RosEsON's adminig-
tratlon Of the department S6O,OO00OO
wore appropriated, and, estimating q
war vessels cost at 100000, we should
have had 60 fine men-of-war. But he
took the position whom we had 40 ships
a1oat, and when lie left it, just one
year later, we had only II, and not one
first class, CHANDLER was almost his
equal In d9structiyeness, and now We
have only 30, OF which only 8 are iron
clads. These are all miserable tubs,
which are not considered equal to one
lirst-olRas Enghsh Ehip-of-war. Here
ls the point from which reform should
oommenoe.snd take up its habitation. In
tho last 20 years over S5O0,OOO,OOO have
bsen expended for the navy, and the
above named collection OF tubs" is
the only evidence Of its expenditure.

able, 1t is desirable that the election
should be an election In fact-that is,
choice between several. Almost every
exchange from small towns in
the state gives accounts Of the
continuance OF the scholastic
year after the exhaustion of the school
fund, some by votes OF money, others
by affording facilities to the teachers, but
beyond the mere permission to allow the
use of the houses to the teachers, moth
ing has been done here except the act OF
the superintendent himself, who teaches
as many as he can without additional
compensation. The HERALD hopes and
believes that another year will witness
aggfeat awakening on this subject.

A Mock Polar pear Hunt.

The mock polar bear hunt is favorite
game among the Eskimo boys. A few lines
will describe 1t. One Of the boys Of the
village gets polar bear robe, and wrap.
ping ii around him after he Is out among
the ics hummooks about the village, he
comes crawling about the sledge path near
the igloos, when he is discovered by tho
dogs and surrounded. This is likely to be
very rough sport; for the boys take their
spears and jab away at their brother in the
bear robe until you would think they
would break some Of his ribs; while the
dogs, emboldened by these supposed bravo
advances, oftentimes take big bites of fur
from the dangling edges Of the robe. The
mock bear rears up on his hind feet and
groWls in q very ferocious manner. until,
worn out at last with his hard work and
with having his head SO tightly covered
up with heavy robe, he finally falls over
at some thrust Of spear and pretends to
expire. But the next moment he crawls
out from the robe, much TO the disgust Of
the dogs. with their hopes Of fine meal

hedgohogs often climb walls, and run OF

Second FutiIo Attempt 10 Form "a
Forestry Company In This District.
A meeting of those interested in forest
culture was held last evening at 913 Penn
sylvanis avenue. Among those present
were John Sherman, l.. J. Atwater, John
L. Paret, Otis Bigelow, N. II. Eggleston,
Daniel S. Curtis, Samuel Maddox, and Mr..
Trembly, of Glymont, Md. Mr.. Paret
called the meeting to order, and Mr.. At
water was chosen chairman. He stated
that it was proposed to organize limited
Forestry Company, to buy land anywhere
from ten to 100 miles of this city, and
SOW thickly in rows such forest tree seed
and nuts as might be decided best to
plant. By the end Of the second year or
sooner the company could begin selling
trees, and continue to sell until the
fourth or fifth year By that time
or before the company would be able
to sell the land with q crop Of strong
young forest trees upon IL. He claimed
that on the land, judiciously bought, the
company ought TO double its money in
FIVE years time. That in the young trees
the company ought by any kind of fair
management to double and treble its
money before tho five years pass, and that
in the crop of trees left standing at the
end Of five years or sooner tho company
ought again to double aud treble its
money. This, he claimed, was not new
business, but had been done for years and
its profits had been proven, and it would
be impossible to overstock the market for
100 years to come. Messrs. Curtis, Eggle-
ston, and others expressed favorable
views as to tho feasibility of the project
but no definite action was taken looking
to the formation of company.

Bed-Ridden with Cancer and Abused
by Her Husband Because She Does
Not Die.
Mary Fischer, in her petition for di-
vorce from Phillip Fischer, 6lod yester-
day, states that she has for months becn
confined to her bed with cancer, aud
has been informed by her physician that
sho cannot recover and charges that dur
ing the past three years her husband has
treated her with cruelty, harshness, aud
neglect, until she has become so feeble
that sho is scarcely able to talk, aud is
unable to help herself in any manner
that he uses proiane, low, and vulgar
language toward hor, and is constantly
abusing her because she does not die.
For some time past ho has failed aud re-
fused TO provide food, clothing, or any
attention for her In her sickness and suffer-
ing, and she has been living upon such
little things as her neighbors and friends
have brought her. 1t Is also
claimed that his language in the
presence Of the children is protane, vulgar,
and indecent, and Mrs. Fischer fears
that in the event OF her death and they
are loft to his care thoy will grow up in
Ignorance and vice. She says that her
husband owns real estate to the value Of
about $4,000 free from debts, and keeps a
store on tho corner OF Twelfth and p
streets. She asks tho court TO grant her
divorce mensa ct thoro from her hus-
band, and that..he be restrained from en-
tering hor room or in any way interfering
with her; that tho court will allow her
counsel fees, alimony, award hor the
homestead where she resides, appoint hor
