MILITARY NOTES.

The two days carnival of Co. d, at the
Caledonian Park, while not so successful
financially as it might have been, as'-in
every respect frst-class affair. The evo-
luton of the Van Houten Post and the
Duryee zouaves were fine, and greatly ad-
mired but, perhaps, the most appreciative
thing of that evening was the chowder
furnished by Co. d to the guests, made by
Jack Jones. Between fifty and sixty gal
Ions of the toothsome compound were
made away with, and the result of his en-
deavors was that Jacky won the suit of
clothes getting GA votes to s for all the
other competitors. The flag went to Van
Houten Post the sword to Lieut.. Aymar.
of Go. A the belt to Capt Herring Of Co.
D and the regimental badge to Peter
Sharp.

rhe New Tour.

Some of the police officers are still growl-
ing about the new tour" claiming that
they are overworked, and that the depart
ment is rendered less efficient than under
the old system. In speaking of the matter
yesterday, Chief Murphy said " While de-
clining to enter into the details of the
matter, there is no question that the new
system is beneficial to all around. The
men do fraction over nine hours day the
year round, and can be massed at at a
moment during the night. In my exper-
fence it is good system, and if it were not
it would net be adopted in all the large
cities in the land. The hardest pait comes
once in eleven days, when two men are
kept on reserve; but even that is
no worse than the duties of hundreds Of
other men. The one thing about
the new system is that the city is better
kept, and there is less tiredness. AS I
am the responsible party, am the one to
blame if it doesn't succeed

A RARE Exotic.
Princess Jennie OF The Ixiown's Kindly
Remembers the TattIer.

Texas, and have heterogeneous population

of several civilized tongues and eight Indian
tongues. Princess Jennie, a grand-niece Of
Clan tos-K ina, Of the Kiowas, sends me TO
YOU with these seeds. They seeSa to be a
small gift, but they will produce the most
fragrant and beautiful flowers the wild
West produces. They grow in "a deep rayine
OF the Sierra lNddra mountains. On the
crest of the hills is the eternal snow. In
the valley at their feet are the beautiful
gardens where these plants flourish. The
sun fingers on them only an hour each day,
but they are the most prolific flower bearers
in the country. The Princess To-lu-la
(Buddine Spring., daughter Of the Kiowa
Chief, was the first to appreciate them, and
the Agricultural Department at Washing
ton has named them for her. There are
three seeds here. One produces a red,
another pink, the third white flower.
You plant the three seeds in one flower
pot. In few days they will sprouu. The
vines will intertwine, growing till in a
month they are a foot and half high !;
then they will droop like a dropping willow,
and give birth to a profusion of flowers. The
Princess Jennie left the tribe to go to
England to ride in James Gordon Benefits

brought an assortment of seeds with her.

speeiaI From snake Hill.

That Snake Hill is altogether out of the
world, so far as news is concerned. is re-
vealed" by the fact that suicide, which
occurred there on the 30th of last month.
was reported day Or two ago. Tho sui
eide was Adan kanpowsen, aged rs. A re-
cent inmate of the Pavilion Hospital on the
Hill, while taking to the TArTLER yester-
day, described the manner of death.
'tKanpowsen, = he said, 'sliterally strangled
himself. He was resting on his knees
when discovered, and the strangulation was
effected with piece Of string. The limb
to which the string was attached was SO
far bent that his knees rested on tho
ground. Some of the paupers felt bad
that they hadn't discovered the body. as n

great times if they could have divided the
money among themselves"

why Not DO TT

Chairman Clark, of the Com mittee on
Station Houses and Prisons. of the Board
of Police Commissioners, is dissatisfied
with the quarters at Bergen Hall, where
the Fourth Precinct Station House is loca-
ted, and would like very much to secure
the building on Belmont avenue, now used
by the fire department as hospital for
horses. With small appropriation, he
thinks, this building could be fitted up to
meet the wants Of the Precinct for many
years to come, and would have the advan-
tage of being more centrally located. In
addition $500 a year rent would be saved.
There is some sense in the latter sugges-
ton, particularly when il is taken into con-
sideration that the fire department have
equally good quarters, which are now going
to pieces for want of use. On Palisade ave-
nue., near South street, the fire department
have buildings much more suitable for a
hospital than those at present used, but
which have been of no earthly benefit to
the city for years. It would pay the Board
of Finance to examine into the matter,

stenches ON the HilI.

The Grand Jury ought to put an end to
the horrible stenches that western breezes
watt from the works on the Hackensack
meadows over the city. Because of the
foul odors coming from the Poudrette
Works, or works of other kinds, it was al
most impossible for residents of Bergen
Hill-the most delightful section of the
eity-to keep their windows open any night
lsat week. If fellow does find clean place
within the city limits for home, it is an
outrage for him to be all but driven out by
the terrible stenches with which the atmos-
phere is loaded from pest houses of one
kind or another The proprietors of these
stencil breeders should be forced to close
their works. Pure air is of primary i'm
portance to the community that cares for

Jersey city water supply.

There is no question that agitates the
public mind stronger than city supply of
dirty water, and as every resident Of Jersey
City knows that we are inflicted with aliber-
al supply of impurities In our Passaic, it
behooves every household to purify the
water lmpregnated with 50 many diseased
germs before allowing it to enter the sys-
tenn in any form whatever. celebrated
physician, reading paper before an emin-
ent body of the medical fraternity, claimed
that impure water is one Of the chief excit-
ing causes of disease, creating derange-
ments of the stomach and kidneys, result
ing in dysentery, cholera and vernal dis
eases, causing bilious fever and fever and
ague. There is but one perfect form in
which water can be made pure for con-
slant use, that is by filtering; and so many
devices calculated to deceive have been
thrust upon the public that deceptive ac-
tions have become the order of the day
Nothing but an absolute deodorizer and
purifier of water vegetable charcoal, carbon,
can be counted upon to purify the greatest
need We have for our existence-water

that people will pay large amounts of

injuries done them. These filters are for

In times past, it was the custom of the
County to elect three coroners, and of the
County Physician to divide the business of
the coroners between them by a fair and
equitable rule. The County was, for the
purpose of this apportionment, divided
into three districts, and an inquest, when it
was ordered, was given to the coroner in
whose district the death that made the in
quest necessary occurred. Within the last
ear or two, however, every inquest that
the County Physician has ordered has been
thrown into the hands of single coroner
that eis one coroner has held them ALL
1t is just possible that the people may have
neglected to elect more than one coroner
at the recent Fall election, and that the
County Physician is forced to throw the
business to him or leave it undone But
We have an indistinct recollection that three
coroners were chosen. If that is the case
if there are three coroners-some uncharit-
able persons may argue from the fact that
only one Of them ever receives q precept
from the County Physician, that the par
ticular coroner thus favored and the County
Physician are going "snacks upon the
profits of the inquests that are held The
TArrLBE knows the high character of the
County Physician, and that he could not
be beguiled or persuaded into being party
into any such bargain. The TArrIER il as
jealous Of County Physician Conyerse's
good name as he is himself, and would see
him free from all unjust and unfair and
unfounded criticisms and it is for that
reason that we say to him that if Hudson
County has three coroners, he should give
ths other two coroners at least an occasional
show.

We are glad to know that Congressman

prompted by desire to put himself where

place at Elm Park, S. l., on Monday last,
was success, owing to the united efforts
of the members who exerted themselves to
the utmost to make the day memorable
On landing they were met by representa-

Central Ferry Associations, and all was

nntice was the fat mans race, with the fol-

race was won by Mr.. Robinson, with Mr..

Then came the clock-work jig which was
neatly executed by the president, Capt.
Carroll and called forth loud applause Mr..
Eph. Reid, alias Old Sport, then rendered
his old favorite song entitled, ''Wait Till
the Clouds Roll By, and was encored to
the echo, after which he sang, with great
success, 9Th Never get Married for Love. :"
The old veteran private. Mr.. Frank Quinn,
assisted admirably by Mr.. Conrad Parzett,
the Newark blood, then sang the song en-
titled, "The Night that we saw Snakes. :"
After short intermission, during which
great quantities of refreshments were de-
voured, the dude quartette. composed of
Mr.. A. D. Malloch, Mr.. Sam Saulpaugh,
Mr.. Patrick McNulty aud Mr.. Stout Weed,
amused the boys by their comic songs and
queer antics. Mr.. Geo. Spencer, the Pam

Mr. Bum McCarty and Mr. Henry Cook,
fremen, then gave an exhibition illustrat-
ing the new method of saving lives III great
conhagrations which, being performed from
the top of q cherry tree (no burning

executed and received great applause. The
boys were then treated to very pleasant
surprise by the kindness of Mr. Chas Car

speciality, " When Another Keg is Tapped, :"
after which was witnessed very clever
roller skating contest between ex-Chief B.
f. Champney and Mr.. Sidney Barr, with
the honors about equally divided. Mr..

tertainment Mr.. Sam Price was very con-

From one source we learn that Senator
Mo Pherson proposes to crush the defamers
of his political reputation, as he did the un-
fortunate Philadelphia Bohemian that once
wrote him up. From another, we learn
that he proposes to take no notice whatever
of the aforesaid defamers. The charge
that the Democratic United States Senator
from New Jersey is in collision with the
Jersey, is not anew one. For years, the asser-
ton has been broadly made that when it is
McPherson's time to be elected to the
United Seates Senate, Sewell works things
so as to assure Democratic Legislature;
and that. when it is Sewell's turn to be
elected, Mcpherson works things so as to
assure Republican Legislature. The story
is not having its first publication. It has
been on the lips of the politicians for years,
and more than that. Some of the best in
formed among the public men of the State
Mr.. Mcpherson cannot "pooh, pooh it
away, because the paper which is now Civ
ing it new currency does not hold any too
eminent position in its Party's Councils.
1t is no answer to it to say that charge
made in the True American can stain no
mans reputation. The True american is
not making the charge. 1t is only repeating
a charge that has already been made by
hundreds of persons, in hundred different
shapes. 1t may be news for the Senator
that the Newark Daily Advertiser, the New
ark Evening Neass, and other papers os like
calibre. have lent the dignity of their
names to the specifications. The Newark
Advertiser, in fact, as the foremost Repub-
lican paper in the State, and speaking for
its Party, called upon Gen. Sewell, the other
evening, to acquit himself Of the suspicion
the story puts upon him. The TArrLER
thinks that both gentlemen might, with
much profit to themselves, make satisfac-
tory denials of the charge-if they can.
