Happily tne s.nows or wur rreenbacks?were proviucd early la tue aimer term. and the navy, witttout loss or t.me, found substltutea lor tne iwo Seniors upon whom tney pinned their faith, ant who at last were unwilling to go through Ue ordeal oi p/eparailou and tne chances oi de teat. Tnen their practice Hours in the gymnasium and on tue water were so arranged that recita tions were not interfered with, and the crew of >75 was stt! cessioily launctied into exisieuce. Organizing a crew, however, is but tue luiant 3 step toward results so far us tnia college is con ce ned. To do much boatug you must have water, and any. considerable amount of this necessity lies four mi.es away irom tne I niversuy build lous, which distance the plucsy Amnerat oarsmea inns'; cover before tuy :an take their daily pull, it is easy ,-uoush lor Harvard, with its Charles River only three-eighta ar a mile away, or Vale or Wesley an. with t.ieir practice streams but ten or ufteen minutes dis tant, to get tne tune necessary to put a crew mto shape and lorrn, yet w.ien taere are tnreo hours consumed in travel to and lro everr aiternoou , the merest tyro in boating must see mat Amherst is working under a load almost destructive to any eharacter of success. it is well i hat the village of Amherst has the " mpport of us colleges, and it may be that the alter are fortunate in bein^ located just where they ue. or oue 'hing tne outsioe world may be c?r min, its citizens give nut little encouragement to the ooatuig element among tueoa, lot getting vuat II is Just this and noihiug else that is souuiiiar year alter year bigger Fresumun classes to Amherst. The village is essentially New En;Uaud, with some wealtn but a great deal more brains. Situated in one of the loveliest little villages in the taat it aompriaes the greatest possible variety or scenery, and her cuarmtug drives are worth seeking, inen, too, sue has numoers of elegant churches, several preparatory school of high merit, anil settled among them many old battle-worn sctoiars, wno have retreated nere to be away irom the oustling crowd, wishing to lie under the shadow oi renowned Amnerst. Diners have come up from tae cities and founded homes oX elegant designs and lmpojin* sue, with oroad acres under culture aoout taem, which to a strarger have the effect or making him believe ne la in the land of plenty. Studious and portly old gentlemen can be run against any boar in the day on the broad streets, tne one boasting of oig ban* accounts, and tne other o g Beads Witn plenty in them, wulcti, all la all, give tae place a so ia appearance. PUEPARAT10N CM DEB DITTXCXLTHS. In the centre oi the village, on a high hill, stands Amnerst College. About tt are the waviest of grasa, the tallest and breezieat of trees, and away around tae cheeriest ol Ileitis and tdeb.ighi est of mountain aides.

TJe question of paying the contractors who are now fliiias up the Harlem flats with rotten and pes lferous scaroa,te lust ad of solid earth 01 innocuous ashes- promises to be uu interesting . question in thu near future. These contractors have received seventy per cent of their money lor creatine a nuisance, aud now they seetthe ro maluiutf thirty per cent. It may bo remembered taut wnen tue Herald exposures Mia oara tnis lnnmous Job tae contracts entered Into l>y Jones and McQnade ' called for two or three feet of pure earth to be laid over the aarbaif-, &uJ the inference was that uuless tots latter requirement was carried out tae contract was not complete and ought not to be paid tor. It now appears, however, tnat tue plot Is to have the contract declared completed as the flats stand now, and the money called lor by the contract paid, and men the cost ol tue filling tn assessed on the pioperty and tne same eouttrmed by the Board of Revision aud Correc tion. thusp.acinn the matter beyond question or appeal.

HOW DIBBECICEB DID IX. To THE EDlTOn OP THE liERALDt ? While your zeal fur the pub.ic health Is com mendable, allow me to submit that perhaps you have not been altogether lair to the police sur geous lu your criticism of tue late report ua that bow latuoua institution Uuown as the Harlem flats. The truth Is neltuer you uor the puol c generally seem to know the bottom lacts. Tne idea of a medical inspection originated in the tirain 01 Professor Dlsbecker, as you have well styled him. lie chose hair u dozen of the most "reliable" surgeous to make the inspection. Co- j der the direction of Dr. lienry tber proceeded to the flats, and in hair an hour pzriormed the extraordinary feat of thoroughly ex auilriing the entire area as covored, uncovered and to be covered. T.iey had microscopes and telescopes and oo.ognc bottles. They j saw all the neighbors, talked with all ! t e workmen, ascertained the sanitary condition ot all the simmles aud piggeries, louttu that nobody tvas aick, ever had oeeu sljk or ever could Uj sick; louna the periume as aou.ilit.ui as oerea m it'or jockey club, saw mat Jones and McQuaae hid done everyenmg up loveiy, tt.st St. Atnorose was a martyr so tUe venal press of America and tna Tom creamei and tne rest 01 them wero not only entitled to 'heir pay but alr.o to the otaroai grail ude of tue Amy i lean people.

The latiei dccii.red inat tiieBoaiaof Coinniias.oners ware in aession ana owaniug tne report, that no time tvas to bs l.st, in fact that tnero wj3 the greatest urgency lor * a unanimous aud immediate report. Most of the spnreous supposed that the report was to be maae the basis or uomc new contract or otllcial action looking to the abatement of the uuis ince, and, i hough renardtnp ir's 01 the report us puro MUIIM, itbtCTINd tneir n.tmta without ev<-u a chance tor dccent deliberation. TUe?e are the bottom lacta. wuich show how the report was cooked ud. as to Dr. lienry and . Is sell-appointed C' mtnuiee. tn -y were not authortaeo by tao lioaru of surgeons 10 make the inspection.
