General Viangallj, Russian Minister to Cblna, leaves here to.ilay en route for Pekiri by the way of tbe United Slates, where he intend* to remain a month or two. General Vl;in!?a!ly, In bin former career as a milltaiy man, was one of the raort distinguished officers of the Russian army, and was chosen to hts present post at the especial desire of the Emperor, who cutcrtainfl toward him feelings of tho most complete confidence aud respect on account of his enlighteueI spirit, as well as tact and ability. Tho General lias occupied his present post a number of years, and before rotiirulng to Pokln wishes to become acqua'.uted with the United States, lie bears with him letters to some of your most distinguished officials, milliary and civil, l'rom Minister Curtln, ana also to a number of prominent private citizens, which will Insure him that hospitality which th'j American people aro so ready to show a worthy guest. The Russian Minister In rekln was an Intimate friend of our distinguished and lamented countryman, Mr. liurhngaiue, whom he visred almost every day during the short time that ho live J in St. Petersburg, in talking of General Ylaugaily, Mr. Burlingaiue told mo that from the first moment of tnelr acquaintance he had found In the representative of Russia a mo.it sincere and elective assistance lu inaugur.iting that policy In China which was the crowning act or Mr. Burllngamc'B life. * General Vlangaliy dnriug his stay in America wishes to become acquainted with our Institutions and examine the pn grtJH and rapid development which form so remarkable a feature 01 American history. It is his intention to visit the battle field of Gettysburg and other places rendered famous ny 1'eKin ino General wjsIigs to know our people, who, In common with the Russian nation, are must Interested in preserving the generous and progress!ve policy begun by Hr. Hullnganii- from being overthrown bv the reaction whi *h, no doubt, wdl be attempted by interested p.irt'ts in China. In every case it ig the bouimen duty of the American gov. rnment to Bee that the interest* of tiie United state* do not sutler on the Pacific. The , United Status and Russia are the only ntaions having great aud permanent inter, sts in China. The interests of Western Europe are but the interests of the hour, founded on the desiio to make as ranch money us possible out of the Chinese, without regard to the rights or wishes of a race which forms one-third of the whole human family. A wise Providence sent Mr. Hurliftgame to perform it great mission at the proper moment. It is the dnty ol the United States to see that thl< mission be faithfully and honestly carried out and that its principles be not, forsaken hereafter. The Emperor ami people of Russia have shown in the most unmistakable manner, both by word and deed, that the Burlinganiepolicy is tlxjlr policy. The proper position of China and her iiftej/rTty can be secured and maintained only by a genuine and i friendly understanding between her, the United ] States and Russia. America anu Russia can control . the policy of ail other nations in Chinese atfalrs if ' these two great. Powers of the Eastern and Western < Continenis wdi but act together. Recognizing the ] great princlp'e that our neighbors' prosperity Is i beneficial to us, it is our best interest to see that Jus- i th e Is done to China. Rns-oa Is in the same post- 1 tion. She touches China by land; we do by water. Our t commerce In the future will be immense unless with ' a neglect amounting to criminall y we allow other i and in reality less iavored nailons to take It away i from us. If we allow China to be IndluiiUed we shall vuuuiiii' a viiiiiv, uiiu nuat ungiib uc i;unuu ?it i 1 mistake without parallel In history. Mr. Burlla- I 1 game, who was on Intimate teims with President l <;raut, was c nfldent of the sympathy of the Chief Magistrate, and said that "Hit President wan fully alive to the necessity of making the iufluence of America felt in Chinese affairs."' The visit ol the Russian .Minister, It la to be expocted, will he met t>y those expressions of welcome by our citizens which aie due to so distinguished a visitor and to a man wiio is likely for a long time to come to represent a [tower so lrkadly to the United States as Uu-s.a, and whose co-opera ion Is of such importance ia seeing Mat Justice is done to China.

MoKSiGson?The Imperial Freitcn ffdVermncnt has acquainted us with tiie memoir relating to the Council which your Holiness lia-> been p'.eased to receive from the han ia of Dio French ambassador. Hav ing beea called upon by the Cabinet of rtie Tulieries io support the observations made by it to the Iloly Father, as President of (he council, the government of Mo North German Confederation has noi hesitated to Join In steps which ar? considered timelv and even urgent by many catholics, who wish the deliberations of the Council to result In a work of religious and social peace. ItuUed the government of the Confederation would neglect Its duty If, in the fuce of the deep emotion prevailing In the Church in Germany, It did not confirm the Identity of the v.cws as de\eloped in tbe rrencii memyrr with the serious apprehensions t which have t.:ken hold o,f the minds in Germany, i who are startled tit the thought that re-o.utions or 1 1he Council, arrived at in hp;te of the : imon't unar.i- l mous opinion of the Cernuin episcopacy, inJgJit 1 create painful positions by Imposing an everlasting 1 conflict upon tno dictates of conscience. This Is not t all. It is notorious that neither the German bishops 1 who, tn our eyes us well an in uio*e oi the Holy 8ee, I are tlio legitlimta repicsentatives of the German ? catholics, nor the episcopacy of the .Au-tio-Hun. u gnr.an empire, have been able to adopt the views a which appear to sway ihe Council. Our bishops t have attmide i to tbe duty, by documents published C la the press, the "authenticity of which has never v been disputed, of pointing out in advance the t. deplorable results to be apprehended if. with. Ii out needing the opposing voice of a con- g ftiJerable minority, uic supreme authority of I tbe Church and the majority of the Council would proceed to ordalu certain d cn es which. iiyliiito- a ducing In the form oi dogmatic dominions serious I' changes in the limits oi authority appertaining to p each degree of the hierarchy, could not fail at the ti same time to Impa.r the mutual position of civil and o religious power, tweh decries, far irom being only /. vague threats for the iuiure, se m rather calculated ti to revive old and sufficiently known Papal c m&titu- li tlons which people oi all times ard nations have con- s Btantly opposed, and to surround tiiem with a new t; dogmatic san t Ion. The proclamation ot m h principles to-day fn in the lofty position of tho 1'apal ii chair, and tlselr maintenance by \ . it mcuis of per- i suasion at ihe disposal of the Church, would, we up- d preliend, cause coulusion in nil the rdatl <ns between Church and Stale and bi nig on crises which, i in spite of its traditional wisdom, tho Papal govern- i "liifiT prrlnpr not liave contemplated, becau-e v of its being less able than our- elvs t ijud . e of the * public mind iu onr country. There is one point or i especial imnoitaiice to winch we would direct the t attention or the papal government. < Jn Germany Catholics and non-Catiiollcg must i dwell together peaceably. Thera exists a cunout i which, under Ihe Inilu nee of daily relai ous and I constant Intercourse, witUout doing away with the NEW YOI clHtlnctlon of creed, hat at last brought to^ethor the ditlerent persuasions m such a manner as to Justify hc;es t.i.n at aorno future day ail tiie living powers of Chrlat anUy might be united for Jointly combatting errors from which the world in sutttorlug already to the gruat Injury of the rel^uionn element. Now, It is to 1h) apprehended that this approximative movcineir Would be forcibly checked, if events shout I . prove that the tendencies ooute-ied by our blshom aim a>>a ust whl'h public opinion hail employed uli tho arguments derived from the necessity to defend ih'; basis of our uailonHl alms against whatsoever attack, should prove so far ^ Icujrlous in the deliberations of tU.' Council as to be dictated to the world as the :?umiurd of re.igious faith, and hence of political a ton. Our iopul tlon would?wo aay 11 without the possibility or a mistake-look upon this as a revival uS o u struggles, for it could never be quieted i.y an argumentative process purporting to render me poll leal bearing eutlrely Independent of what it would oe taught t<? consider lt< religious duty. It is not Impossible that the government of the Coined': ration?which h is not been spared reproach for not having timely opposed the Justly or unjustly so-called projects of llomo?may luck that freedom of action in religious affairs which it has hereiolore employed for the interest of the Catholic Church. While making these observations to Hie Papal chair we are by no moana imbued with the ideas of those whom tha Koman Couft probably considers its opponents. We have no interest lu weakening the authority of the Pope. As a friendly Power, and to render a new service to the l'ap.il chair, we would willingly assist, by the candor with which we dwell up:.n our own diUlculiles and upon the danger of a religious crisis, in removing from the discussions of the council .whatever might compromise the altogether satisfactory position of the Catholic Church lu Germany. If we could flatter ourselves on having oo-operated In such result we would not only be obliged for U to the wisdom of the holy chair, but would regard it as an additional motive to pei severe lu that position which wo have always maintained towards the Uomau Court. Accept the assurances, VON ARNIM. The above shows the rather determined stand taken by Count Von Arnim with reference to the Ecumenical Council, as also the harmony existing between France and Germany with regard to Catholic affairs. IN JERUSALEM. Another instance of resolute action on the part of a diplomatic representative of the Confederation is reported from Jerusalem. It appears that the Crown Prince of Prussia during his recent Journey to the East was presented by the Sultan of Turkey with a plot of ground In Jerusalem for tho use of the Knights of St. John. When the Consul General of North Gerni.tnv proceeded to take possession the Greeics asserted a prior claim, showing their titlo, with the l'acha'a signature acknowledging at the same time receipt of purchase money. Tho Consul General, isaron von Alien, was tairiy lateen anacK, out toni ttic Greeks that the Sultan only could rightfully dispose of the property; that tliey could recover their money from the Pacha, but that If they would not cede the ground voluntarily ho would take It by force. The eifect of till.-. has been to retard the intended journey from hence of Prince Charles, brother of the King, who is Grand Manter of the Kulghls of St. John. it seems that Ruasla favors the position taken by the Greek claimants. FRANCE. Tbo Fashionable Season in Paris?Bri!5Knt "Wii?d-U|?" by Jtoyul and Other Fetes? Country Houses and Seaside Ideas? Promenade on the Euis de Boulogne?Beauty, Chivalry and Style?The "People** Who Drive Out. Paris, June 1, 1870. The fashionable season of Paris Is rapidly winding up and the last bal s, the last races and tlnal ye res are corning off In bewildering succession. The "petlts cuaUis" of the Empress, which is the name of four very select ball# given annually at the Tulleries by lier Majesty, and these usually take place in April, have this year been deferred by various circumstances to the present moment, and the second of the series was given on Monday. Theso pretty assemblages Will coacludo the festivities of the Palace for the year. In tlie hertu monfle, the last ball of the season, occurred on Friday at the Countess de Gabriac's, and the lact that it was the last rallied an lmmonse concourse of the lndomltables whose thirst for gayety seams unabated after the unbroken round of entertainments which have tilled up the last live months. ! l'tio season begins Here with the new year ana tor- ( minates witli the great racing event of the year, < called the Grand Prlxl de Paris, whlchcomes otr on the Bois Ue Boulogne the first Sunday in June. This J is the signal for a general dispersion of tho world of j fashion which is scattered forthwith in all imagina- 1 bie directions. Country houses and watering places 1 absorb the greatest: number. The most attractive feature in Paris Just now, especially for strangers, is the promenade in tho Bo is do Boulogne, which in point of roliago surpasses our jelebrated Central Park in New l'ork, but in other inspects is inferior. For instance, the rock scenery liore is all artificial, while with ns it is Nature's own K'autirul handiwork. From four o'clock to seven 3'clock P. M. every day at tills iluo season the dlsjlay ol equipages in this iavorlte resort is something ilmo.it indescribable lor numbers, spk-ndor and inste. There is nothing like it elsewhere in the fforld. in London you see as many line horses -for She English breed is not yet surpassed in Francenut here the carriages are lar more graceiul in form md more elegant in decoration. Besides the Paris ana are xonuer 01 airplay titan the sober-minded f English, and hence the harness used for parade In > :lie Park is richer in ornament, while lootmeu, coachmen and postillions are dot up In a style that ; may be called gorgeous. Bui showy and brilliant us a: e the equipages, thev do not constitute all the attraction or a drive in the Hois. The toilets of the i ladies, resplendent In all tne colors or the raliibow, In homage to the advent of summer, . und distinguished by that rare fancy and taste which . makes Paris the throne of fashion, to say nothing ot , the easy manner and graceful bearing ol the ladies j themselves?this is a phase of the sight to be se?n in tiie "Central Park" of Paris that Is absolutely un- , approacliatile in the wide world. Most of the car- : riages art-drawn by two liorues. Many pretty little "Victoria" are content with one; but certain wellknown lovers ol horseflesh appear dally with the ! pl K of their stables in a carriage and four. Some lire driven before a London ''drag," but others are ' managed by two postillions a la Daumonr. Of the latter class the besi turnout is decidedly that of an i American, well known on both sides of the water? j L.ewis uass, son 01 me laio secretary 01 .state. mere ix 8till auotiter salient feature ol these alluring , gatherings In ilie "i>ols," and that la tlie number of celebrities, not only of Paris, but of all Europe. The prominent member of tlie diplomatic body; the leaders of fashion widely known; foreign dignitaries it mi princes of European fame, not to speak of those glittering ami ephemeral creatures, the Cynthias ol tlie hour, who, in Paris, obtain notoriety not -only by their splemlor of toilet and equipage, but oy eteL'an.e o: manners and good taste in concepllou. POLITICS A3 TUEY I'KEVAlL?THE PLEUI3UITUM AND "HKDS." It Is high time, however, to return from the "Bols" to I'avis, where there happens to belittle going on of interest. The political worid Is very stagnant. The Chamber still meets almost dally, but there la little of thai excitement which preceded the plf.bln. rite. The truth is, the opposition have had their pluck tcrtbly damaged by that tremendous vote. fnra 01" t?lS i-'j'QJUiilwt leaders of tlie "lvrccoucllai>!es" frankly admits that this great vote simply means one thing above all others, namely, that (1 "France Is resolved against all revolution." In this e ase, what Is to become of Kochefort and his disciples, who were crazy euouah to think, oi pretended io, that. France desired noihlng less than an overthrow of all that existed. There is no doubt of it lie "would be'' revolutionist* in the Ciiamber and , iu' of it gave a great deal of animation to the political world, and now we have fallen Into something lk>' a dead sea of dullness, that is becoming quite i< eaiHome. Tiie projet of the Olilvier Ministry to ower ine salaili s of any new members of the Senate f o below, leaving these of the existing Senators at y he old i ate, i* now meeting with serious opposition } ?r r the merriment ilrst excited has subsided. The o irobablllty increases that if the government don't h ivithUraw in time It will be defeated in the Cham- v ) r, which would be a check and might lead to the c eslguation of Olivier. Some of tlie members of the c ower House think it would be more desirable to a nak<> the siiancj of the Senators tlie same as the c JeputW'H?natne.y, $l2,6oor.

Mr. Bright points with admiration to the fact nJ that his favorite exemplar among the nations has it been abio in an Incredibly short space of time to re. deem an amount ol debt such aa has had no parallel ra In the civilized world. Mr. uobden, had he lived, would also have rejoiced over the fact, and would have adduced it as another argument In support of y, those United States democratic Institutions which ho tl loved eo well, and which he did so much to ectab- -p tablish and cause to take root in England. At pres- ,j out there Is a strong movement among the advanced j, section of the radicals of the House of Commons In w favor of the American policy In this respect, and p they are supporting the agitation thoy are carrying 8, on by triumphantly pointing to the splendid success fi of that policy In the States. They maintain?and they a lose no opportunity of pressing their theories upon q the notice of the Uouse?that some strenuous and determined effort ought to be made to reduce the tl awful Incubus of the Knjflnh national debt. Mr. (iladstoiio, as Is well known, Is strongly in favor of u lliu movement, and Is not alow, in common with all tl nicht-uilndud men, in doing humane to the splendid (1 achievements of the American people in paying , what tliey owed, and. as it were, starting atredi In 11 Qpljtkul and nutioniil life. There is, however, Just tl now a difficulty In the way of.the English ParUa- 1E ment following in the loouteps of Oongre-s. What with royalty, our wasteful oxir<tvaa:aneo In the \Y'iir 111 and Foreign odlcon, our oioated pension lists, our ci IIUI CAIKUUIUU-I i/iuci UU.IB1, L.IV yuopiu IIIIVU nj of Jute years beon groaning uuder the burden of 1 their taxation.

A luigo P amount of taxation lain b on taken olT, and should O Mr. lir.ght and Mr. Olad tone be spared for a few years the deru'icmta arc in hope* that no me sub- 1' mailt.al step may lia tuken lu the way of peruia- ? neutly reducing the national debt. Jealous of what has b'jen douu by the States, the republicans will not 11 rest till this has been accomplished; und, indeed, " several motions upon the subject already ata.nl upon al tno paper for diac uss, on. P OFFICIAL JOBBERY. U] What reductions have, up till this time, been ac* w compllalied, have been chietly made at the Admi- J5 ralty. When the present government aoceded to m otllce they found that department of the public aer- Ht vice in a statu of the mo-^t wastoful corruption. No 01 attempt had lor many years been inade to re:orm Its lo abuses or to clean out the Augean btable, which long years of official favoritism and Jobbery had reduced Bi to a condition that was considered to bo hopeless. ?f Departments ha l been multiplied, places had been Ul created and sinecures had be n established by the a? score. One-hall of the clerics had nothing whatever u to do, and tuouglit themselves insulted when aiked Oi to do It, while the other halt had succecded in brlug- wi tug what work there was to accomplish into lnex- j!f trlcable confusion. Waste and something worse than ' waste prevailed, not only at the dockyards, but even at the oltlces in London. Acres of yo ground in the various yards were covered with ur accumulations of stores of valuable goods, ?u which wore absolutely rotting uway. The ?? purchase system was so lull 01 abuses that Doth the contractors and those who had to deal with theui on mi Deiiair of the Admiralty were ^making fortunes, and a* 3 very where throughout the department business y<> was done In the mo.-^t unbusinesslike manner aud nt "" the injst ruinous cost to the couuti v. in tlie case of ?? mo contract, amounting to many thousands of ^ l>-muds, the Admiralty had for twcnty-tlve years bean < l>aylng upwards ol two dollars for what they aro ou now only pa) lug one hall' dollar, and the very best Ualllpoli oil which cau be purchased they are uow re buying at the rato gf tweuty-iour dollars per ton ' cheaper th.iu lormerly. In fact, a giganticsystom of tipping," robbery and Jobbery to carried ojj jc among the clerks. They gave the couuiels for the BJ navy stores to whomsoever they liked, and obtained ol rerf large rewajdgfroui the contractors whom they ne hus favoreu. Ail this was brought to light after the Co jriseut government came into oilice aud resolved to an cduce.the national taxation. By tlie weediug out of>f abuses they have this year ftaveil no less tlmn tin (700,000 in the purchase of the victualling stores let Hone. The torles and old fogies are of course very wi vrathy at this, not only bccause It hus deprived Sti many or their sons and relatives of situation*, but fol jecause It reilects upon their own extravaguuee. i Accordingly there was a great battle this week In dli 1a!ltament, which lasted lor fully ten Hours. The adicals, however, mustered in great strength, vorskd the conservatives in a pitched battle and ixpressed their approval ol all that tlio goVL-rumeut ki lad done. du Napoleon "Buying Oat" England in Africa. 8lj The London Spectator, or Juue 4, publishes the fol- ov owing:?

So far as the youngest child is concerned there la no controversy; the custody is to remain with the mother. With reference to the custody or the elder child, about three years and a half, the only question which the Court feela at liberty to entertain in this case is the interest of tho child Itself. So far as the evldenco shows la this case the mother of thechild seems to be living separate trom her huabancl without any justification, or, in other words, she Is living separate rrom her husband In violation or the l.iws or the siate. So far as the evidence discloses there may be some cause, there may be no cause for it. If any exists it la in the secret history of the family and not ocfora this court. In disposing or this case 1 teei justified under the circumstances, In view of the situation of the father, who lias no homeno residenco of his owu, no relatives to whom ho can give the charge of this iniant, but is obliged to leave It with strangers, an l It witl receive such care and attention as strangers would bestow upon It?but that would be governed by the amount the fattier paid for It?I feel justified In awa ding the custody of the chtld to the mother, for the present; not thai the lBotlier has any right to the child at all, or that she has auy claim to the consideration of the court for the custody of-the child; but the well-being of ihc. child seems to require fur the present that it should remain with the mother, liut the Court directs that the lather of tho child be allowed access to 11 as oftt-n as ue sees tit to visit, without any limitations or lestrnlnt on tho part 01 the mother. Further, that he be at liberty to take that child, or both children, lor tno purpose of recreation or pleasure, to his own ab<.df, or wherever he noes lit, within tno jurisdiction of ihls court, at least throe times during the wcck, and to retain possession of the child for these purposes, not to exceed ten hours on each occasion: and that he further bo at liberty to furnish apparel or mean's of subsistence for the clilidreu as tuey may require and he see lit, ana that ne,titer rather nor mother take the child beyond the jurisdiction of this co irt.

Iho Co!cr Factories on Fluih* ing Avenue?The Jurndietion of Admiral GoJon-Secrotary Riba^ou Appoints a Court of Inquiry. ' There is 11 contest ,'oln< on between a prominent manufacturing house of this o ly and Lieutenant Colonel Broome, of the-Brooklyn Navy yard, as to whether or not the color lac lory of this Iioiho shall he enjoined from further onerations. Lieutenant Colonel Broome, a marine o/lieer In chat delightful lueit arm of th') service, Iho mariue corps, tlu Hug that there are no wars or minora of wars, took tt Into his marine head to begin a campaign upon the owners of the large factory In question, upon the ground that the said faotory was a nuisance. The con; st has, th'irofore, grown interesting and mav be briefly sketched thus: -Colonel Broome lives opposite id: factory in the residence given him by tne government. Not long ago he considered that anoth r factory than the one in question was a nuLmnue, and accomplished lis removal at a heavy loss tu tne ownors. Not mulslleJ vr.tti these laurels, he a ;aln gathered his mental forces and brought an action in the Uuited States Circuit Court for the removal of the color factory under consideration. The case comes up to-morrow before a board of o(floors appointed by Mr. Becretary Robeson, consisting of Admiral Uoilo i, of the Brooklyn yard, and two subordinate officers. Colouel Broome mad* the mistake at the outset In tal.ing the matter Into the United States courts when It was leirally action, able under the code of laws govrnlug tlio Metropolitan Board of Health. The owner of the factory. believing th'it the complaint of Colonel Broome was whimsical ami dullish, ami being under contract with tke Treasury Dei an meat to supply colors for printing the national currency, requested the Secretary ol the Navy to api'o nt it hoard of officer* to Investigate the matter, in.-.to.id of following up the Injunction. which would cause a loss to the government in the doilvery of their color*. Thus the board has been formed and proceeds with the business today. Whether the ease will be ultimately settled by the court or not cannot be f< roshadowed, but If the testimony of experienced chemists and others, such as Dr. Doreintis, is ol' avail in court or before tho board, there seems but little doubt that the qpse will go against the prejudices of the marine, especially as he is alone In the a'tAclc upon the Industries of that portion of Brooklyn. It Is certain that uoue of the neighbors complain, but Itave voluntarily signed as to the entire absence of any annoyance or disagreeable odors or vapors from the fac.oryln quesilon. As that portion of the Navy Yard l? situated on very swampy and made liuirt, the Investigation may bo the means of pointing out to the government ttxt? unhealUilni'Ss of the quarters and barracks, and < au.se their removal, thus adding to the wealth of the city several arre.3 of land admirably situated for niflaui'acunng purposes. iiOwever unusual the Tact of bringing the Case jwhjrh Is properly a municipal of\e] before a United Court miy be, the defendants may coiigntulate themselves it U to be a gued before Jii'lge Heiudlct, should it *iot Wo amicably settled Mooner by the stralgiitioi ward commandant of tho vai l. Admiral Cio.lon. The nroceedlntH will b? watch.d with interest, a* It soe;n.< to be a repreiseuP iitive c:iBe as ty h?.v lar a subordinate officer can kive annoyance to citizens iu pursuit or tlioir cadiug. Taxpayers cert.iluly pay Jdvernment enough not to be imt to unnecessary annoyance and expense bj the caprices of olllcers. There is no way of recovering datnnges if the United States destroys oue'a business and is then proven to be iu error. Pr >re3?->r Doremus thus expresses himself regarding the matter:? The only operation which yielded an odor was the boiling of tin* cochineal, and the subseuuent heatlug of the brilliant colored lot union. The watery vapor arising from the vessels containing said liquid was nnpreunated wTth an empyrematlc llavor. wbicb though peculiar and characteristic whs uot disagreeable. This was only observable Immediately over the vats, and a little distance iroiii them in the room, i could not detect it outside the worts. A tank ot boiling soap of the tame size would yield u much odor, and to me not mure acceptable to tho olfactor/ nerves. In the preparation of the ermllllou there waa no evolution of objectionable vapors or gases. I was informed that some weeks since lime and sulphur wetu boiled to prepare the sulphide of ca elum used in waking thts color?and that the sulphuretted hydrogen gas set free was conducted ln'o the chimney. This would have diffused Its als^usting odor in tlie surrounding atmosphere. Tiiis operation is no longer performed and the apparatus has been removed. Iu my opinion the color factory on tho corner, of Flushing and t'arlton avenues, HrooMyq, is not a nuisance. I hare tho honor to remain your obedient servant, tt. OODEN DORKMU8. M. D..
