BOARD DOE HEALTH.

The Day Street Sevver-Notable De-
 crease of Mortality in June-Extra
 Sanitary Inspection
 At the regular meeting of the Board of Health held last evening Professor W. H. Brewer presided. Alderman Kennedy in be- half of the Committee on Sewers reported that when they looked over Webster and Day streets where sewers were wanted, they found several houses on the streets where it was very unhealthy for people to live, and the odor arising from some of these places was suffocating.
 MT. James Fitzgerald and several other residents of Day street appeared before the
 Board and asked that the Board use it's in
 fuence with the Court of Common Council
 to have the order recommended by the Com
 mittee on Sewers, tabling the order for 8
 sewer on Day street for two years, rescinded,
 and the sewer ordered built as soon as pos
 sible. Professor Brewer was appointed a committee to appear before the Court of Common Council and ask that the matter be returned to the Committee on Sewers to be reconsidered by them.
 Health Officer Lindsley reported that the mortality in July last had been greater than since the existence of the Board of Health, the number of deaths being 197, against an average of deaths in the corresponding months of the past five years of 150.6. The total number of deaths from zymotic diseases was one hundred, against eighty-two in the same month last year. There were twenty seven deaths from measles; ffty-seven of di arrhoeal diseases, fifty of which were of chil dren under five years of age. The following table shows the number of deaths in eacl ward from cholera infantum and measles: Wards. 3 7 10 Il 12 13

A Dreary Waste of Desolatten and
 Destruction.

A Dreary Waste of Desolatfon and
 Destruction.
 PHILADELPHIA, Aug. "A wide path of devastation marks the track of the cyclone which passed over Camden and portion of the northwestern section of Philadelphia yesterday afternoon. The destruction of property and injury to human beings are much greater than at first supposed. Every hour some new injury is reported and it will be several days before the extent of the dis aster is fully known. In the Delaware river, where the steamer Reybold was strack by the cyclone, men are searching for the bodies of the missing persons who are believed to have been hurled by the terrific force of the wind into the river. Up to the present writing no bodies have been found but it is thought that if there are any in the river they will be recovered before many hours. T. J. Atkinson of Camden, whose two children Mary and Thomas were supposed to be on the boat on the way to New Castle, Del, with two other children, Ella and Agnes Wilbur, was moved to joy this morning by the receipt of a telegram from the children in New Castle saying they were five minutes too late for the boat and had taken train. They were unable to telegraph sooner on account of the wires be- ing down. Hundreds of dwellings in Port Richmond were overflowed The basement of James Doak's mill was nearly filled with water, causing 8 loss of $20,- 900. Dobson's dam broke last evening and the escaping water reached into and flooded the lower floor of the cloth mill, causing loss of $4, ,OO0. The scene in the Twenty-ffth ward this morning was one of desolation. Many houses are razed to the ground, others completely gut ted and others roofiess. The appearance of the locality in the direct track of the torna- do resembles that of a thickly populated region that has been visited by an extensive fire. In Camden the district visited by the cyclone presents similar appearance.

THE STORM IN NEW ENGLAND. Wind Blowing At a Furious Rate On
 Mount Washington.

MOUNT WASHINGTON, N. H., Aug. A. The most severe storm of the season has prevailed from noon yesterday to the present time. The wind began in the northeast and veered to the south and blew furiously for twenty -four hours. The signal station rec ord shows the twenty-four hours total of wind mileage to be 1,7e5, an average of 7311s5 miles an hour. The highest was ninety two miles at midnight. The Mt. Washington carriage road was badly washed out. The storm was severe that there have been no trains up or down the mountain to-day, the first stoppage on account of the weather for ten years. At the Fabyan House the storm was equally severe, and it was so dark this forenoon that the gas had to be lighted in the house. There was fall of 4 E inches of rain on Mt.

 At fully attended meeting of the Repub lican League held yesterday afternoon the following resolutions were offered by Arthur D. Osborne, Esq:
 We the members of the Republican League of New Haven, believing that it is fitting that we should unite with fellow citizens in expressing profound regret at the death of General Ulysses S. Grant, and that should place records a suitable testimonial to his preemnent services to row and profound respect which the nation is manifesting for him show with what unerring cer- tainty the instincts of great people recognize and appreciate the character and abilities of their most illtlstrious soldier His fame will endure, for it rests on what he did for the nation As was said of another renowned commander we may truly say of him:
 Great in council and great in war,
 The foremost captain of his time, And the greatest only are In his simplicity sublime"
 The great heart of the nation, touched by the pathos of his dying hours sorrowfully awaits his entrance to the tomb.
 His name passes into history to be recorded among the names of the famous commanders of the world.
 The resolutions were seconded by Hon. N. D. Sperry in an eloquent address. Brief re- marks were also made by R. P. Cowles, Gen eral S. R. Smith, James s. Thompson, Col onel A. J. Beers and others. The resolutions were adopted unanimously and ordered to be placed upon the records of the league.

OLD HICKORY'S PORTRAIT.

How He Looked While at the Hermitage
i. Month Before HTS Death.
In the Corcoran Gallery there is q
collection of the portraits of all the ex-
Presidents up to Andrew Johnson s
time. 1t was made by Healy. The
most interesting is that Of Andrew
Jackson. Healy visited the Hermitage
about month before jackson died,
and with great difficulty persuaded
him to give him sitting. The old
gentleman was determined that he
would not. He had a great prejudice
against having his portrait painted.
Healy finally succeeded in getting an
interview with him, and, of course, af-
ter that succeeded, for Healy is a diplo-
matist who knows how to fatter and
make his way with noted people. His
picture of jackson makes the old gen
tleman look hdeously ugly and saw
age. The pallor of death is on his
face. Healy made no attempt to flat
ter him, put painted him as he found
him. The result is all the more inter-
esting.
Looking at the picture OF jackson,
one recalls the remark of the rural
visitor who came into the gallery for
the first time and saw the emarble statue
of Vela's last days of Napoleon. Ma
poleon, emaciated and worn, is seated
in an invalid chair with pillows and a
thick dressing-gown wrapped about
his wornout frame. The dressing
gown is open at the throat, showing
his hollow chest Upon his left knee
is an open map of Europe. Napoleon 8
look is far away, as if he were still
brooding over his hopeless ambitions.
The countryman looked long upon this
statue, and then he said, with a sigh:
$50 this is old Napoleon, is it? What a
pity it is that they could not have taken
him when he was in health! ~ WASH

The Moistening of the Leather Necessary,
But the Material Used Need Not Be Oil
Alone.
Neatsfoot oil will not soften leather
lnder all circumstances, neither is cas-
tor oil any better. Oil IS not necessary
to the pliability of leather-the leather
of the OK, goat, calf and kid. 1t is nee
essary that the leather be kept moist;
but oil need not be the moistenino
means. Yet in use oil is the most con-
venient means for keeping leather soft.
1t would be inconvenient to employ
water to keep pliable the leather of our
boots, because of its spreading the pores
of the leather and admitting cold air;
besides, unless always wet, leather be-
comes hard and rigid. Oil, on the con-
trary. keeps the leather in proper
state for its best usefulness, that of
pliability. But in order that oil may
soften the leather, its way should be
prepared by thorough wetting of the
leather by water. Much less oil is re-
quired if the leather is we'll saturated
with water. The philosophy is obvious;
water is repellant to the oil. and pre-
vents it from passing entirely through
the leather, holding the oil in the sub
stance of the leather. The use of water
for softening belts in factories is not in
convenient. if advantage is taken of
holiday. At night the belts may be
brushed clean and thoroughly wetted,
then in the morning use the oil, much
smaller quantity is necessary to rend r
the belt pliable than when no water is

How a Young Man Was Disillusioned After

How a Young Man Was Disillusioned After
His Marriage.
Now that we are considering women
who are, or have been, young and fash
ionable, let me incidentally voice the
complaint of friend of mine who has
been husband only a few months. He
SAYS that his wife has become mono
maniau on the subject of physical i'm
provement. She persistent!y goes in
for everything that promises to height
en- her charms.
''She is successful, presume, l re-
marked by way OF comfort. ''She is a
nuisance" he hotly retorted. ''Do you
suppose found my bride a fair, un-
trammeled slumberer-such as she
might be, and was until this craze took
possession of her. No, no, no. Her
hands were in an old pair Of my gloves
last night, packed in some sort of slusb
for whitening the skin. Her ears were
tied flat with a bandage, to make 'em
lie close to her head. Her lips were
sm;rched with cold cream and her eye
brows were thick with unguent, put on
to make 'em get luxurious. Her hair
was in an oiled silk bag. Somebody
had told her how to make the toilet
masks that are the rage now among
women She had obediently melted
a spoonful of tar in pint of hot olive
oil, and spread the composition all over
her face. This was warranted to refine
the skin, brighten the complexion and
prevent wrinkles. The directions were
to cover the smear with patches of soft
linen, and that was what made me think
when / saw her that she had met with
some dreadful accident. IN. Y Cor.
