The NewYork police, in running down the
Chinese desperadoes who cut and bound
and gagged fellow countryman in Newark
ten days ago, seem to have run afoul of the
perpetrator of other crimes of the same
nsture. This cream hued rascal was living
in New York, with German girl who
bears the relation of wife to him. There
is reason to believe that he had hand in
the killing of Chinese laundryman on
Clinton street, New York, who was. muir
dered for gain, and that, to escape arrest he
subsequently shipped for the Polar regions
with the Jeanette explorers.

If the Court of Errors and Appeals shall
decide that the right to appoint Board of
Finance rests with the Aldermen, it will be
their duty no less than their pleasure to
make the designations. But even if the
Court should devolve the duty upon their
shoulders, ssdeal' among them that
results in personal profit to some whose
votes are to make the change is unbecoming,
and, as TO the Aldermen whose votes are
thus purchased, it is nothing short of
bribery. If current rumor is to be relied
upon, the votes of three eff the Aldermen
are to be purchased for one of the proposed
combinations by promises of place, and the
three, we regret to say, are the members Of
the Board of Aldermen who would be less
likely to be suspected of susceptibility to
such influences. They have not yet car
ried out the scheme, and if they do, they
may have their labor for their pains.
Their right to make the appointments still
! awaits adjudication; and they do wisely to
delay all proceedings, as Alderman Aber-
nethy says they will, till the Court of
Errors and Appeals has spoken. Their de-
lay is wise in more senses than one; for
over and beyond the fact that by acting
now they may sell their regulations III the
community for mess of potage, any as
sault upon the title of the Board of Finance,
however unnecessary and foolish it may be,
hurts the credit OF the city. If the Board
of Aldermen really wish to do a patriotic
thing, let them remove all possible doubt
upon the title of the Finance Board by
designating the gentlemen who are now
attending to the city's financial affairs with
such distinguished credit. They have lifted
her out of the mire in which they found her a
year ago; they have won public confidence
alike by their integrity and by their capac-
ity, and we know that the people would
strongly condemn the displacement of any
of them.

to give the narration in his own language.
And for the same reason the text books
which present cold outlines in disconneot-

event of momens in history is the culmina-
ton Of story. The mind retains it the

unbidden. Even in arithmetic, where q

and the new regime has been instituted
there. The medical department is here
after to be divorced from the business de-
partment, and legislation that will make
the divorce complete will be asked this
Winter. DR.. L. ". Russell, the House
sdrgeon at the Charity Hospital, of this
city, is one of the new medical staff. He
stands next in rank to the medical head of
the great retreat for the insane. It is COM
pliment to him that his selection is not the
result of favoritism, but that he achieved
the position after competitive examination
by an examining committee as to his pro-
fciency and skill. DR.. Edward Z. Morton,
House Surgeon in the Chambers Street
Hospital, is to be the second assistant.

of that organization, dected in a re-
cent circular Of Commander-in-C Chief
Kountze, is that the able-bodied survivors
of the war should wait till the long unad-
justed claims of the soldiers widows, and
of their orphaned children and of the
crippled and helpless veterans themselves
shall have been settled. The people are
getting little weary of this continued
ssold soldier" agitation. The whole army
of Veterans does not care to be held up to
the public gaze as band of strikers or
paupers. The continued passing around
of the hat is calculated to bring them into
public contempt. It's effect is conspicuous
ly apparent in the case of even so great a
leader as General Grant. The lustre of
his renown has been sadly dimmed by his
periodical appearance in the role of pub
lie pauper, and his never ending appeals to
the charity of his friends.

The announcement that the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Company proposes to accept
the conclusions of the State Board of Asses
sors as final, and to pay the taxes the
Boards findings impose upon her, suggests
hitherto unsupported avenue of public
activity for that corporation. Suppose, as
the New York Times of Friday says, she in
tends to help the State compel her sister
corporations to pay the tribute the people
demand of them Such an alliance with
the State would have been written down
three or four years ago as a scheme of
Utopian wildness; yet it is among the
probabilities of the near future. A special
Trenton correspondent, whose letter APP
pears in this issue, intimates that without
| the aid of the Pennsylvania, the contest by
other roads against the Tax Act will be
weak to puerility! What would it amount
to if the Pennsylvania, instead of only re-
manning neutral and inactive, were to
assist the State in her campaign against
them? The two would make team of in
vincible strength.

been raised sufficient to buy the title

The Desire for Narcotic J.


Tho craving of to-day among the eulti-
waited classes, among tho brain-workers
and others, who are almost entirely re-
lieyed from physical labor, is for mild,
prolonged stimulation, and for stimula-
ton that does not proluce II strong re-
action, or else for sedatiycs which alay
the slecpless excitement produced by
overwork. 1t seems not unnatural or
improbable that, as tea and coffee have
so largely taken the place of beer or
light vino as beverages, SO narcotics
should take the place of stronger alco-
holie stimulants,
We read weekly Of men and women
poisoned by an overdose Of some favor
lite sedatiye, burnt to death or otherwise
fatally in ured while insen ,ible from
self administered ether or chloroform.
For one fatal case that finds its way
into tho newspapers there are, Of course,
twenty fatal in u different scnse-fatal,

ness-thot are never known beyond the
family circle That tho children of

Happily, narcoth n is not the tenn Ia
ion of the young OF energetic. 1t is
later in life, when the effect of years of
brain excitement Of whatever nature
begins to tell, and generally after the
period in which the greater number of
children are born that men and women
give way to this PECULIAR temptation OF
the present age.
