Governor Hills nominations for Quarantine
Commissioners and Health Officer have Il queer
look, to say the least. DR.. Charles Phelps, who
is named as successor to Health Officer Smith,
has been mentioned as Il possible nominee for
this place he is skllful surgeon, bat it Is hard
to see that he has any special fitness for the
Office Uncommon surgical skill does not
necessarily make an efficient Health Officer.
Still less easily explicable are the nominations
for Quarantine Commissioners. DR.. j. IL.
Douglas, well known from his attendance on
General Grant, is busy specialist in throat
diseases who would have little time anu
probably little inclination to devote HIM
self TO Quarantine duties. He has been
out of the country for several weeks. and
could hardly have been consulted about TINS
appointment. Ex-Collector Marshall Is. Blake,
who is a good Republican and would make an
excellent Commissioners has likewise not been
consulted by the Governor III the matter.
Charles s. Higgins tine Brooklyn soap manu-
facturer, is an cStimable citizen; he was active
in the Cleveland campaign, and also used his
influence to secure the election OF Mayor Whit
ney last fall 4; but these reasons do not seem
sufficient to account for his nomination. 1t is
hardly probable that these nominations will be
confirmed by the Senate.

he is now trying to crawl out. Yesterday Mr..

No credit can be claimed by the police de-

did the shooting has confessed. If he had not
done so, it would have been difficult thing to

to doubt the story which he tells and since he

RecolIections of a Lost Home.

Oh ! how wildly comes back to my mind
The bright happy home of my childhood.
Where dwelt my friends and parents so kind,
Mid the flowers that bloom in the wildwood.
And near by, the lovely ripping brook,
Where violets cluster, both blue and white
Stop, stranger hold your breath and do look
Say, is it not a beautiful sight? eg
Me thinks that still can hear the old bell,
As it pealed forth the hour of noon,
From it's high position DER the deep well,
Wherein was reflected the silvery moon.
Oh dear sweet home; You were once my own,
But anothers gold has grasped thee,
And am left alone and unknown,
To drift upon hfe's wide, wide sea,
All cruel fate; you have basely robbed me
OF my early home AID of many friend,
Yes, you've taken all except sweet mem'ry,
Which will ever cherish unto the end. (
