wlieu the iii-pc-c.or invited bim Iraukly to go dowu

socmed hardly worth w hile. Ho turned to go, how

ol ashes over garbage, out in mauy II not iu all tbcro
Was more garbage than asbes. 1 be three mcu were

piece*, however, such as potato purings, rotlon
pea pods aud tile like, were tell with the asbes, uud
a sickening smoll was apparent that only needed a
little moru Ileal and u luvoriug wind to spread
p- stlleuce broadcast. The inspector looked ou with
apparent suiisluctiou. "The usbes are lovelled
uuwu," be said, "and then the street dirt Is spread
over theiu."
"but are all these small bits of rotten vcgotablo
mailer left in tbe ashes?" asked tbo reporter.
"Oh, yes, wo cau'l gel that separated," was tba
reply.
These small bus mentioned composed at toast twenty
percent in itio bilk ol so-called usiio-.
preaeutly tbe curt wiucb ibe numelesa Individual
bud tried to bead oil was emptied. Its load proved to
be almost entirely oi garbage, ami tbe reporter culled
the inspector's attention to it. Iboruupou the driver
Was bulled.
"Whut do you bring ibal hero for?" said tbe in
spector. "Lion'tyou know belter?"
"It's only oue barreiiui," said tbe driver. "Tbe

belli r 10 bring it than to louvo it."
"Well, you ought to know bolter than to bring
gurbagu here, ' said iho luspecloi mildly, uud the
driver urovo off.
A carelul inspection of the ground showed tbat ibe

at the Normal College, a UtHxno reporter yesterday
upproachcd President iiunler upon the subject. Tbta

nothing coulJ be more ridiculous; that there was no
healthier location in New York than that occupied by
tne Normal College; uud that ibo Hoard ol Health
had made a spici.il oxainiualion of tho locality last
