To the Editor of the Journal. AND COURIER:
Sir-In your issue or this morning (29th
inst.) is eulogistic artsle on the High
school, in which the writer says ssit has been
built up in spite of the competition of pri-
vate schools" We would iketo say in be-
half of the ''private schools" (of oae of which
we are the patron) that they dG>not prob
ably consider themselves the ''rivalsI of pub
lie schools of any grade. There an many,
even of the wealthy, in our city, who
do not care to pay for what they can set
without cost For this reason their children Q,
to the public schools and not because thsy
consider the instruction there so much supe
rior Let the High school cost its patrons
only what it now costs all taxpayers.
Then its patronage would be some test of its
comparative merits. For several years past
the effort of those managing the High school
has been to increase the number of its pupils
and thus impress the public with the idea of
its wonderful success. This increase" has
been largely obtained by su-
perfcial, slippery examinations
of candidates, and often by favoritism
towards those of prominent families whose
names would add eclat to the school. To Sc
cure this class of pupils and draw them srom
the private schools they have offered them
the privileges of special studies (withou'
expense Of course) to be pursued tenn.
porarily or to fit them for college
as they preferred. Thus have chill
dren of wealthy families filed the
seats to the exclusion of a more needy class
essarily taxing the purses of the public te
educate those who would be as well educated
elsewhere at their own expense. We insist
that the number of pupils at present in the
High school is no true test of its excellence
educationally. TAXPAYER.

EPIDEMICs IN PARIS.

A paper read by M. Durand-Claye before
the French Academy of Medicine at recent
meeting contains much that is of general
interest concerning the epidefnics of typhoid
fever and cholera which have visited Paris in
recent years.
According to this authority, typhoid fever
storms of rain, occurring at the same time
with an elevated temperature. This epidemic
gains its height at the moment when such
rain ceases, while the temperature is still
high.
The appearance of cholera in Paris was CO.
incident with strong south winds, which pro-
duced elevation of temperature unusual
for the month Of November, the month when
the cholera appeared. The cessation Of the
epidemic was coincident with the recurrence
Of strong winds from the north. The density
of population did not seem to have much in
huence on the appearance of the cholera; for
it was most serious in the poor quarters,
where the dwelling houses more scattered
and the population consequently less dense
Things are just opposite, if in one house
there is any considerable density of popula-
tion. The mortality was much larger in
houses ''thickly inhabited, especially in
furnished houses-than it was in houses
with few residents
The water supply of city is an important
matter in relation to disease. In Paris only
about twenty-five quarts of drinkable water
are daily brought, on the average, into each
house for each person; for owners are quite
Indifferent concerning the water supply. Part
of the water of Paris-that from rOurcq in
1particular-is bad. On the canal from which
it is drawn fifteen hundred boatmen live, and
the canal also serves for the boats which car.
ry out the nightsoil to Bondy. The statis-
tics therefore show that the mortality, both
from typhoid fever and from cholera, was
proportional to the quantity of POurcq water
which was consumed in respective districts.
In each district the mortality seems to
have been less in proportion as the number
of sewers is greater. 1t hiss also appeared
that the mortality was less in the districts
where the closets, instead of being provided
with permanent vaults, are provided with
fltering pans.
Though NJ. Durand-Claye warns us against
taking for granted that the circumstances
set down by him mean all that they may
seem to, they are very significant. Cleanli-
ness and good water are strong defenders
against disease.

The enterprisiag citizens of Hamburg,
Germany, believe IN subsidies. It is expec-
ted that the Hamburg Senate will grant a
subsidy of 400, 600 marks to a proposed

have its due reward in an increase of COM

The New Orleans Picayune announces that
it will begin May printing it's issues on pa

chief use has been for fuel under the sugar

The official report of the battle of
Cslamar, of July /, is as follows:
The enemy disembarked July | in
Barrancua, employing their seven
steamers and then cut the telegraph
lines. Atterward the steamers pro
oeeded TO this place in order of battle.
An artillery fire was opened from both
sides, and afterward the infantry
opened fire, because tho enemy had
established line OF skirmishers ON
the island in front of this
point. The fight lasted two hours. The
enemy re-embarked their people in
Barranoua and the steamers were pre-
vented from passing this port on their
voyage. The artillery fire of the en-
emy was q iasco. I'VE have only six
wounded and none of the wounds are

of the army is indescrlbable. With
this brilliant force and the favor of
