A death occurred from small-pox in a tene ment on North Front street, and after the body had been disposed of the proprietor of the house ordered the family to move forthwith. There was some delay, and a general Gleaning out by foroe followed.

The bed-clothing, which was contaminated with the disease, was thrown into the street, and subsequently application was made to the health committee to have it removed, but nothing was done a'out it. Later it was taken to the north meadows, aud children weie discovered playiug with it. This is rather locee business iu a small poK-basa. more About the Fast Trains. The fast trains between New York and Boston will be put on the road on the 2Gth of tbis month, and will leave each city at ten o'clock a.

and arrive in Hartford a little before two. It is the intention to run from Springfield to New York in four hours, the present running time ot the expresses being about five hours. From Hartford the run to New York will be made in three hours and twenty minutes; it now takes something over four hours. The time from Boston to Springfield will be three hours, and to Hartford three hours and forty minutes, making the through time between New York and Boston seven hours, a saving ot nearly one hour and a half in the present time of running. The whole distance is 236 miles, which will make the average rate of speed per hour about thirty-three aud a half miles, including iTimrnm a itti I i i i.i uctuuu, uuiimu urwiKCTi I notice the existence of a western minister I who does not want to see his sermon printed.

stands alone in history. Some eastern ministers are acauainted with reporters, too, for that matter, and cases of the latter being expelled from the churohes are not heard of, they ever tara place. A commission to Vienna may or may not be a marketable article certainly it is an honor to whioh an American may attain with out losing his clt'zenship, no matter what effect it bas upon bis fortune or his self- respect. But to take titles and commissions rem foreign powers is against the laws of our free government, and the man who se ep ts a foreign title ceases to be an American voter. Now this ptovision of the constitu tion nas led to a lively discussion oonoerning be citizenship of a gentleman in San Fran- isoo.

He Las recently received and accept ed from the pope, as he affirms, the title and uties of a Knight ot the Holy Ghost. The question now Is whether he la still at liberty to vote In this couutry, aud pending its de cision the Knight bears his honors meekly. San Frauois-oo newspaper says he sigus himself K. H. aud goes about tbat city ith a decidedly lonesome air.

Nobody has tried to buy his commission yet. The good little boy lives out In Kansas now his name is John Mosmau. He is an orphan, his father having lost his life iu the army, being executed as a dsserter about fourteen years ago when Johnnie was an infant. As soon as he was old enough to be set adrift the boy began life for himself as a boot-black in the city ot St. Joe, tnd bas followed that dark calling until reoently.

This winter he went to work for a farmer at the modest salary of twelve dollars a month. One of his duties was to drive the oows, and while in the main faithful, he still bad an aSection for sassafras and flag roots tbat sometimes made him backward with bis flock. The other day he stopped to dig op a piece of sassafras and un earthed not only that but a kettle full of gold aud silver coins. He bore tbe treasure to the farmer's houseaud they all counted it to gether, finding it to be about six thousand dollars. The farmer did not attempt to claim it, and John tbe next day canceled his little contract of twelve dollars a mouth and started for Omaha to join some relatives, who will now forget tbe facta concerning the death of bis papa.

He proposes to give them some of the money and to spend tbe balance 1 i se curing a good education. When he has spent what he takes himself and finds himself ready to be taken care of again as an educated gentleman, be may discover the depth ot the average relative gratitude, and Una tbat even the money he gave away helped to edu cate him with a life-long lesson iu human na ture. The vigilance of the Chicago poltoeman needs no advertising. It is a tradition at least if not a truth, that several years ago one of these Individuals saw a man running rapidly down tho street and fur fear he might be a criminal, shot him dead to stop him. The aim was accurate and the successful marks man was retained on the force, although the mistake by which he proved his accuracy was somewhat resretted.

Now another case has come up in which the victim happening to survive, says a few words himself. In Aug ust lsou a horse died iu front of a man house. The man, who did not own the horee went at once to the nearest police station and gave notice. The sergeant iu charge ar bitrarily arrested bini and kept mm shut up a day and then discharged him without ever having taken the case into court at all. The man was a very well to do sort of a fellow and there was no possible justification for imprisonment.

Accordingly he made a com plaint agaiust the officer to the police commissioners. At this the sergeant offered to give him MOO if be would withdraw the charge, and he bound himself by a writen paper to pay the money in ten monthly in stalments. The agreement was entered into and fifteen dollars paid when the oifioer ceased his contributions. The man then be gin and has ever since been laboring at tho effort to get the money; for i he case looks like a compounding of felony and will not siand trial. The man has been to tbe police commissioners and to the police superintendent and to the common council, but they do nothing for him, aud the officer himself threatens to have him arrested lor compound ii.g a felony.

It is quite a pretty case among the curiosities of the law and will serve well, though unneoessarily, to make the Chi cago police feared If not revered by such of the common people as are not familiar with criminal law and those who execute it. The Pen Monthly for May has an impor tant paper, whioh may commaud the atten tion of those who have in mind the revision or amendment of our state constitution. It Is called "The Work of a Constitutional Convention," and is by A. Sydney Biddle. For one thing, it very clearly explains the plan of cumulative voting, whioh is oondemned, and of proportional lepreseutation.

which is oom- meuded. The author peaks of a fatal defect in the Illinois constitution, by which judges of the supreme oourt are eleoted once in five years. The writer speaks of three evils which can be remedied by state) action. The first is the undue influence of the federal upon the state government. The remedy is simple: it is to make all elective officers hold for terms which expire in years when there is no federal election.

No doubt that would move a portion ot the difficulty, but not all of it. We have seen here, even in Connecticut, the Influence of federal interference in state election, when the state election was not in time or in any way connected with any feieral election. The evil is deeper than this. It is the crying evil for civil service reform. It is the evil of permitting the federal ap pjintees in any state to interfere in state elections, and even to feel that they owe their offices to diligenoe iu "keeping tbe state polit ically right." That Is the great evil.

Aud the only remedy for tbat is instant removal of any federal officer who mixes in state poli tics, to the. extent ot using his offioial posit ion to influence it. Another evil the writer mentions is the unioa of municipal or local a -id political or geueral elections. We rgree with bim there. It saves time and money to consolidate the elections, et we believe the effect is bad on the local oondition.

The city should be governed in accordance with its own needs, and not be the sport of general politics. It is now almc st impossible to effect any local reform, whioh all citizens feel needed, when the city election depends upon the general. Party is permitted to override the local interest. Tbe third evil is that few msn are fit for office by education, are willing to enter upon the strife for it. The other papers of this interesting number are.

Among the claims from alleged British subjects before the Mixed Commission at Washington are number of absurd demands for damages sustained by the destruction of cotton at the time tho city of Columbia, S. was burned. It is essential to the establishment of the claim that the confl igration should be proved to have been the act of tbe United States troops. The principal witness to substantiate this claim was the rebel general Wade Hampton, who testified before tbe commtesion in the most positive manner that the fires were set by Sherman's troops, and tbat Sbermau and General Howard bad admitted it.

This tes tlmony was furnished to the Tribune and published, and was probably considered by many ot its readers as conclusive on the subject. But the evidenoe before the commission on the other side is quite overwhelming aud seems entirely to refute the assertions of Wa Je Hampton. A special correspondent of the New York 'ltnien says: The testimony of Cle.ieral Sherman in regard to the burning of Columbia was taken while be was in Egypt. General Howard's testimony has also been taken by the government, aud so has General Logan's. They all tell tbe same story, and, with a great mass of other testimony on the same subject, sustain overheiniingiv the efaarge that tbe burning was done by the relwl troops who ran away from the advance of Sherman, with Hampton, if uol at their head, at lerst a long way from tbe rear.

Our army entered Columbia about 11 "'clock In th morning. General Sherman rode at the head of tna column. Tbe advanoe was hastened at the request of Mayor Goodwin, who begged tbat tbe federal army might hurry forward and stop tbe pillagiug of the stores and private bouses in progress by the Texas volunteers under oonciuaud of Colonel Wheeler. General Sbermau says whea our troops entered the town it was on tire. The bridges at the edges ot the city were burniug, the depots in the midst of tbe city were iu flames, aud.

r.Jlna at the head of the column wnich entered, he puss along the street, piled tor four hundred yams at 'east with burning bales r.f cotton, and that the federal lDers were dotr-g all they could to step the conflagration. It he had deemed It necessary to burn the city, or fur any reason had desired to, be says, he would have given orders to that effect but there was no reason why he should want the city burned, and that he bad expressed regrt that it was done. lie demies absolutely ever making any admissions to anybody tbat the oity was set on fir by the feaeruU. ui sa leu thousand men can ttify that tt nas 03 fire when our column fleet entered. General Howard denies that ever tfiiie wl by 1 as it Itoeotber those imnretveuients will call for tlie iuiploj meat of abi ut two hundred additional workmen, aud the number will be increased from time to time as necessities may require.

i The C'ahoIic Cathedral. LATIRO OF THE CORNER 8 TON KFXT BUN- DAT THE BUILDINGS TO BK ERECTED, ETC. On Sunday, the lttn, the corner stone of tho new chapel and convent, in process of erection, on Farmlngton avenue, will be laid by the lit. Rev. Bishop McFarland.

Since spring open ed work on this now building has been rapidly pushed forward, and It will not be long before the Catholics living in tbe west part of the oity will have a chapel where they oan meet for their ordinary exercises of devotion. This provision will not only be an accommodation to Catholios living In that section, but will also convenience those who have beeu troubled about securing and retaining help because of the remote distauee from the present established oburcbes. The building bas sen designed by P. C. Keely, architeot, of Brooklyn, N.

aud is considered by those who have examined the plans a very perfect structure in its way. The first story will con tain an auditurum which will seat about seven hundred persons, and will serve as a pro-cathedral until the grand cathedral, to be located immediately east of this building, Is oompleted. in addition to the convent aud cathedral au episcopal resideuoe will be erected on the site of the old Morgau homestead. When these are finished the Cathoiios of Hartford will have reason to congratulate themselves, the buildings will be au arcbi teotural improvement to tbe avenue; tho cathedral will be the largest churoh edifioe in the state. The removal of the bishop from Providence to this city was au event of more than ordina ry interest and significance.

His residence here bas been tne meaus 01 establishing tuese mportant auxiliaries iu bis work, in episco pal cities charitable and educational iustitu tions, as well as churches, are generally found to be more numerous than iu tbe other cities of tbe diocese. The Catholics have done much to euoourage their bishop in tbe wtirk he bas undertaken.

Oue ot the gr atest of these inconveniences is now in course of removal through the establishment of boards of examination in dinerout cities. When once this process is completed it will obviate tbe difficulty which candidates have labored under of traveling hundreds of miles to attend an examination in which a majority of them must necessarily be unsuccessful.

Other difficulties will gradually be met and re moved as experience shall suggest." Tbe meanest manifestation of petty rebel spite Is that recently made against General Longstreet. whose offence is bis republican ism. An ex-rebel general, Pendleton by name and an episcopal rector by trade, is traveling through the south leoturiug to raise funds for a monument to the late R. E. Lee.

in his lecture he charges the confederate defeat Bt Gettyjture to the treachery of General Longstreet. The Naehville Banner referring to this charge says "Geueral Lot g- street, uniiKe nearly an tne otner ex-confeu-erato generals became identified with the republican party shortly after the war, ajd has acted with that party since, aud to this fact. we can't help thinking, must be ascribed this extraordinary charge of General Pendleton. Who supposes such an accusation would be brought at this late day if General Long-street harmou'zed politically with General Pendleton? We very much question if among his defamers there on be found one of half his physical or moral courage, in peace or war. Say what they will of htm, Long-street was a splendid soidier did capable and conscientious service for the confederate cause was ever in the thickest and hottest of the fight, and his presence alone was worth a whole brigade to an army.

It would present the South in a most contemptible attitude to deorv such a man for the gratification of a little, mean, seo ional and partisan prejudice, because the man has brains and a great soul, and dares to give to loth the freest play and exercise."

The selections were chi. 11 from King Henry IV. and King John. and the readings gave evidence of consider able study aud a fair conception of the characters represented. It is but justice, how ever, to say that the professor failed to giv bis audience the superior entei taiument they had been led to expect.

At the rear of the bail his articulation was quite indistinct, an sometimes whole sentences were unintelligi ble. Probably the most satisfactory portion of the entertainment was tbe partial imper sonation of plump Jack Falstbll'.

Where It ceases to be one thing it fails to secure tbe other, usually especially does its Income fall off whore it oeases to be amusing, and, if all grinders would bear this in mind, they would be careful not to remain longer in oue place than ia required to satisfy that neighborhood But the ordinary organist does not make practice of changing about. He stays In on spot selecting that oue where there is con siderable passing by much to tbeomora ization of people doing business close i-y, au the effect, while aunoving. is sometimes ludi crous. tCor example, a young man in au in surauee omen, under the front window which musical strains almost constantly proceed during the organ season, finally got so tbat in footing a column of figures he followed tbe air of the organ, and doing it aloud, as the habit grew upon him, made himself so much of an vrtist tbat the secretary of the company removed him to a back room, where as a substitute for the music be oould hear the profanity of a fellow rking in tbe back vara; and now when he gets into adtmou job ot figuring be is frequently heard to swear lerociousiy. tsut as tLere is a man in tbe front oilice who isu uuder any suoh infiu euce, and yet is profane on the subject of fig ures occasionally, all hope of moral reforma tion on tbe part of tbe rear clerk: is not alto- getber giveu up.

ACTION OF NEW TORE AND HARTFORD FIRS UNDERWRITERS, President Kellogg, of the Phoenix fire in surance company was the committee of the Hartford offices to visit Bridgeport on Friday aud make an examination into the affairs of the Howe Sewing Machine company with reference to determining whether it would be advisable to canoel tbe policies held on its property.

A oommittee of New Y'ork oom- Daniea VSHU (t ,1 'It Hit f.e mama nnvnnAA and a good part of the day was devoted to looking over the premises and gathering the information desired. It was ascertained, contrary to what had been believed, that the raciuo tuaii mortgage or tne Howe pronertv was for money loaued to buy out Wiloox Uibbs aud one or two other smaller sewing machine oonoerns, aud was not on account of any losses made by tbe president, Mr. Stock wen, iu speculations. Another important fact was discovered that tbe stories about the euiploji) having set fire to the shops and out belting were inventions made out of wuoie ciotn. far as tbe oommittee couid judge the company is perfectly solvent, though temporailv embarrassed.

The workmen are usually paid off on the 15th of eacn month, but were uot paid last month, which occasioned aissatis-factiou and gave rise to many of the extravagant reports in circulation. The payment of ou the 1st of May was for all wages due to the isu 01 April, and the ollloers promise that on the 15th all money due to the 1st of the month shall be paid. The capital stock of tne eompauy is oue million dollars. Of this amount Mr. Stock well, the president, owns tOiW.OOO, his brother, 350,000, and $50,000 is scattering.

Yesterday Mr. Kellogg made his repo't to the officers ot the Hartford companies at a formal meeting held for that purpose, and embodied the above faots substantially. The result is that the leading oompanies here will hold on to the risks, though will probably re- uuuo iueir lines somewnat. All the compa nies here have policies on the property. The New York companies will pursue a similar course, ine risk is considered a good one still.

One of the greatest fears exalted in this oity over the consolidation of the Hart ford Springfield and the New York and New Haven railroads, which was effected two years ago, was that the car works and repair shops located here would be removed to some other point on the line of the road. But it now appears that the railroad managers never had any suoh design, and are now about to earry into eflfeot the plans which were formed at the time of the consolidation.

Tbe works alroady located here important, consisting of repair shops aud of build-iugs aud machinery used in the entire construction ot locomotives and ears, and employment is giyen to about two hundred men. In a city where manufacturing takes the sep-ond if not third plae among investments, when the faot is generally acknowledged tbat the highest progress of any place depends very much upon its mechanical industries, the removal of so large a number of artisans would be a matter ot the profoundeat regret, aud their retention ia proportionally a thing to proyoke the heartiest congratulation. The consolidated road will begin to-day to lay the foundation ot an enlargement of its working capacity here. A building 180 feet long aud 85 feet wide is to be erected in the rear of the present shops, and will be completed and occupied in July. It will be used for oonstruoting and repairing ears, and will afford accommodations for doubling the present work of the shops.

It is the design to have the bulk of tbe oar work for the whole line done here. Besides this building, the other shops will be enlarged, and the present wora on locomotives will be continued, together with repairs under improved facilities. lha car work done will be increased at least I'uMjiF Morulas, May 6, 1873. Barthe Frere's mission to Africa 1b now cmsidered a success, ia spite of the oontrary ol a few weeks ago. He has Induced alios msgaatoa to -sica treaties putting on end to the slave traffic, an achievement re-tl wtlng great honor both on him and his country.

The lovestitiation into the charges the Vermont Central railroad management is still In nrceresB at St. Albans, and most of the testimony, as summarized by telegraph, teems to be In favorof the road, and tending to show that thn acoasations have been made without foundation and for malicious reasons. We hope no whitewash is being manufactur el. Nothing more from the Modoo war, except opinions as to the intentions of the war department, and as to the proper mode of attack. Some papers are condemning certain proposed methods as inhuman, as though all warfare is not inhuman.

The true policy is that which promises success with the least sacrifice of life to the attacking party. Whatever that mar be, in such a contest, will te most human. So many wild beasts are to be exterminated. It is a disagreeable duty but a necessary one, and the speediest and cheapen way is the best- It was only a few years aj that the torpedo was pronounced luhu man, but since one civil war it has become a reoogav.zad weapon of all civilized nations. The national scandal rt Vienna Is one whioh naturally makes every respectablo American indignant and justifies the com ment of Secretary Fish that nothing during his service in the state department has been bo obnoxious to his footings and so offensive to every true lustLuot of the American char aoter.

The facts as yet received are very meager, but It seems that certain of the com missioners appointed by General Van Buren have been guilty of using their positions for the purpose of extortiug money from those having business with them. Secretary Fish xpresses himself conlUeut of the guilt of the aonused, aud has suspended all the commis sioners. Among those journalists who take every occasion, in season and out of season, to con damn the President and his administration. there id the usual improvement of the event to moralize on the inherent wickedness of General Grant and all his acts. Because few ot the many thousand appointments made by the President In the past four years fcave been bad, therefore he is to be blamed tocause oertaiii of General Van Bursa's ap pointments have turned out badly.

Geueral Van Buren has always had an ex cellent reputation. By birth and education he is, or ought to be, a gentleman, and has al ways been considered a worthy representative of one of New York's most worthy families. His appointment as chief commission er met with goneral approbation, and It was quite natural and proper that the Preslden should appoint such assistants as General Van Buren reoommended. We hope and be lieve the full facts when ascertained will ex onerate the general from any personal com plicity with the alleged corrupt practioes, but lie and not the President should be held re sponsible for the short-comings of the assist aut commissioners. To condemn the President on such grounds is not honest or inde pendent journalism but a low order of partl-- zauship.

LOOK TO YOUS BRIDGES. The fall of the bridge at Dixon, Illinois, by wV.oh so many people lost their lives, is a fair warning to us. The dispatoh did not say whether it was the iron structure or the foundations which gave way. But in either ease we can learn a lesson from tho disaster. There is an iron bridge over the Little river at the Broad street crossing, upoB which we have heard a capable builder of iron bridges say he would not advise a crowd to stand.

But we have more reason in this region to be alarmed about the foundation of bridges than the superstructure. All about Hartford the soli is very treaoh-erous, and we doubt if there Is any place where It Is safe to build a heavy stone abutment that does not rest upon piles. The heavy frost cf our winters unsettles more or less all the day foundations, and make them liable to fall away in the spring freshets. We have a case in point. On Sunday a physician ef Hartford went to visit a patient in West Hartford.

He drove out by the road that leads from the Stone Pits to KImwood, the new railway station, crossing the bridge over the branch of Little river. The water was very high. He made a short call and returned. But short as his call was. he found on his return that one end of the bridge had tumbled In the abutment bad oaved and the bridge had dropped down.

He felt as If he had had a narrow escape. Now, the point is, that it is not safe to rebuild that abutment without piling the foundation. It is not only a point of economy but of safety. CIVILIZATION AND DISEASE. Attention was called recently to the fact that at least one-half of the children of oiv-ilized parents die before reaching the age cf five years.

But it is not to be Inferred therefrom that the perils of the first five years of life weed out all the unpromising specimens from the race aud leave a robust and healthy 'remainder to enjoy the blessings of the life which is opening before them. Surviving the first five years Is In reality only securing au opportunity to struggle with the many perils which oome after and In the end succeed. It is a notion not altogether -without fonmJ that oiviliz-atlon, as we term it, tends, to weaken the human constitution and to shorten the length of life. This really is Incorrect. Human life is gradually lengthening, owing to the inorease ot Information concerning the laws of health and right living and iu spite of the oofositiou of certain circumstances ot civilized life.

Some OI mese QircuuiSLjftui'oa may u. Jut.a- aile. but some certainly may be more or less easily avoided. Perhaps It is too muoh to expect that cities cau be so arranged as to afford aanlight and fresh air to all inhabitants, tbat manufacturers will build healthful places for their workmen, that butchers and grocers will sell wholesome focd, or that there will ever be a eity with its sewerage system arranged on a Btrlctly sanitary plan. But if we look a little higher aud consider some of the intellectual surroundiugs of the race, we may find there element equally dangerous to physical health, yet resulting from methods adopted by those who are considered wise and often adapted for the spread of wisdom Our educational system is open to attack on these grounds, and a speaker at the meeting of the American public health association at Cincinnati last Saturday showed some cf its defects in this respect.

As a general thing aohciars are treated very much as if they were alike. They are classified either according to age cracoordiugto attainment, rather than according to mental ability or condition. A uniform standard is generally adopted which Is too high to be attained by any but the most brilliant without uudue effort. The weaker! therefore, are very likely to be severely overtaxed. Tho brain and nervous system suffer first, but the physical ia wtojLlcnnad as a confleoasDCS thereof as well as by the poor ventilation and improper beating of most of the school buildings.

These Influences weaken the whole bodv. Sometime the results are im mediately apparent: sometimes they develop later In lite, but the extent of tbe injury that results during what Is called getting one's education is far from properly estimated. An'4 it is a singular, not to say a melancholy, feature of our way of living, that the very meaus adopted to develop the race and to teach us how to live should be at work undermining the constitutions of the very ones whom it is designed to benefit. It we were not all la such hurry to know everything and so sure of success, we might live long enough to know even the folly of the effort, aud to be more deliberate about what we undertake.
