TIDE SECOND BLOOMS.

II seems that the peach-tree limb with
one fully grown peach and several smaller
above aud below of second bloom exhibited
here last week and reported to the Dis
pArcH, was raised by J. Walton Phillips,
who saws he has several trees with good
many OF the second-bloom peaches upon
them. and thinks they will mature. Whilst
Nr. Knite did exhibit the limb in question,
he did not claim the credit of raising it or
say who did. AS Mr. Phillips claims It. We
make the correction with pleasure, for no
man deserves a greater need OF praise than
J. ". Phillips or his stirring enterprise and
industry.

A correspondent Of the INTRLLIdENcRH
tells Of the reception arranged for Mrs,
Henry Nj. Stanley in Pittsburgh, which
Mrs. Stanley did not attend, to the cha
grin OF tho fashionable ladies in the
movement.
Two essential points seem 10 have
been overlooked by the Pittsburgh
ladies. The first is that Mrs. Stanley
was not asked in advance whether she
would accept the attention. The second
is that it is understood that Mr.. aud
Mrs. Stanley move rapidly and have no
time for receptions except such as may
be held in the lecture hall before the
entertainment begins.
The ISrELLIaENcRR is unable to see
that the stanleys are to be blamed for
not making exceptions to their rule.
Certainly no blame can attach to Mrs.
Stanley for not attendinga reception she
had not promised to attend.
The Fort Henry Club Of this city de-
airea to entertain Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley
at the club house; but If Mr.. SANKEY'S
business arrangements interfere, II he
prefers that no entertainment be given
him, nobody will have reason to feel
hurt. 1t will be in no sense a "cut,"
and II 1t were it might be lived down.
IfMr. Stanley prefers to be met as
lecturer and nothing more, we shall have
to let him have his way.

Before it took place, the 1STKhLIoES-
GER opposed the election Of Frank
Healy 10 the position of Chief Of the Fire
Department, mainly because his past
record. which even he must admit wa
very bad, and which was the only
thing by which to judge Of the future
proved him an unfit person for the
place.
Since the Democratic majority in
Council has seen ct to select him, the
lyrgtIIeEScGR has no interest In the
matter except that which all good citi'
Gems should have, that. he shall conduct
the department in way thst shall make
Il effective in the discharge OF the dutteI
for which 1t was created.
II Mr.. Healy and the Democratic
Couucilmen want to make Of the De
psrtment a Democratic machine, the IL
TELLIeEScER hopes 1t will be a good and
ssrviceable machine, but the way they
are going about it is not the proper way
There should never be more than
very few new men in the Department
at once, because experience Is the teach
er from which they must all learn. A
this time the Hook AID Ladder hous
has not a man in it who ever ever
helped 10 put up a ladder. Two Of tn
three men ia the house have been Their
less than three months, and the othe
who was appointed this week canno
drive the horses nor work the tillet
The two slightly experienced men haV'
had 10 stay in the house day and nigh
since the last change was made 50 tina
1t would be possible to get the apparatu
TO fire, if they happened to know tn
location OF the box.
There are also three comparativel!
new men at the Atlantic engine house
the central station Of the department
where the most skiIIiul and experienced
men should be. 1t is said, and will
every corroborating circumstance, tina
new man is 10 be put in at the Mag
ara, and a change made at the chemica
house on Eleventh street. There arr
other changes booked for the Vigllan
and a possibility Of a change in the
Eighth ward.
It must be saidito Mr.. Healy's credI
that be has been forced to make thes'
rapid changes by the incessant cIamor o
Councilmen and ward politicians, but il
is 10 his discredit that he has not the
independence to do what he knows
would insure him efficient assistance
and that he made promises before his
election that now cost him the best men
in the Department to iulAll. he must
remember that the work Of his depart
uent will bs compared with that of the
department under the careful attention
of Chief Dunnirg.
The city is just now IL a dangerous
position. Without man in the ladder
department who ever raised ladder,
and half of the force composed Of men
who never laid a line Of hose, the BUSH
ness portion Of the town would have 10
trust to luck with a lively fire in an un-
favorable place.
