The 7th san- itary division {bounded by 14th, B south and 2th street west,) Beases. Thirteen and 59 births—4s white morriages Teport and 13 colored. Under the heat of remarks the registrar says that the mortality of the Distriet of Columbia for the week was 19 last week, or at the rate of 36.74 per 1.000 per annum. Rate of mortality of the white prpoiation was 25.05 Pee L000 Per annum. while the mortality of the colored Tepulation was 68.90 per 1.000 for the same period. Rate ¢ of the white popu- ation by dei over births, 3.31 per 1,000; while the decrease of the colored population by deaths over births was 52 per 1,000 per annum. Dr. Bliss in presenting the report called attention to the large INCREASE OF MORTALITY AMONG THF COL- ORED PEOPLE (mostly among the children). and the neces- sity of doing something to check it. i rtially at least to the poverty of y of them, and to some extent to jtoefexperience. He did not know that the beard could do anything in this matter, attempt it. By conferrin: e colored ministers and teachers something might be done. He moved that a committee, of which Mr. Langston sball be irman be appointed to consider the mat- a ed to, and Langston, Bliss, and Verdi were a) inted. A frame shanty on € street, between 13th pd 1th, was declared to be a nuisance in- jurtous to health, and it was ordere| to be ‘abated. ngston stated that he hada report pecia] conamittec ARBAGE AND NIGHT SOIL CON- TRACT, appointed in executive session, and asked if it was row in order.

Dr. Verdi said THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING DISGUISED, ard urgéd that te commitige report ia open meeting. Mr. Marbury favored reports being made in open meeting generally, bat as in connec- tion with the report the characters of parties would be discussed he thought the doors should be closed. The motion of Dr. Bliss was a: 1 to— yeas, Mr. Langston, Dr. Bliss, and Mar- nay, Dr. Verdi,so the board went into ve session. CONTRACT AWARDED IN EXECUTIVE SES- SION. The committee—Drs. Bliss and Verdi and Professer Largston—to whom were referred s for removing ulght soll. garbage and oil, garbage and deal animals, sab- mitted majority and minority reports. The former (Dr. Bliss and Professor Langston) reported in favor of awarding the contract for two years to H. F. Turner & of Balt- timore, they being the lowest bidders for that time. “This report was adopted, with an amencment that the contractors build_at thelr own expense a depot for thelr use. Dr. Verdi voted in the negative. WHY DR. VERDI VOTED No. Dr. Verdi gives the following reasons for his vote in the minority repo: “1. That W. P. Wattrous rt: bids to remove the night soil, garbage and dead animals at ear; H. Holmes 36,500: a compersaion of 84.695 per yi VW per year for on 2 each bidder being under bonds to perform the work to the satisfaction of the Board of Health, namely, without creating a nuisance, is entitled to equal consideration. 3. That all thir gs being equal, I consider it the duty of the Board of Health to award the contract to citizens of the Districtof Columbia, when- ever consistert with public interest, inas- much as they are taxpayers from whom a Fart of this eppropriation is to come. In view of the above I did not concur with the report of the majority of the committee, pemely Mr. Langston and Dr. Bliss, in awarding the contract above mentioned to H.F. Turner & Co., of Baltimore, for two eOTs, at $7 560 annum, they being the jighest of the lowest four bidders. I also could not con ur with the resolution 1 by the majority of said committee, providing that the contract be awarded for two years, for the reason that the effect of said resolu- tion is to expunge the three lowest bidders. J also could cot concur | awarding the crntract to H. F. Turner © Co. at the sate of $7.500 per annum, making an aggregate of $15,000 for the two years. while Mr. Wattrous’ bid is $4,605 perannum, making an aggregate of £14,085 for three years. I also could not concur in awarding the contract to H. F . Tar- ver & Co. for two years, while their bid is for the same amount for one, two or three years. The Board of Health having tono par- Uecular mode of transportation, namely, by water or rail, one mode is bape as another, and therefore no preference kt be given in awarding the contract to either. Lastly, that a three-year contract is more favorable to the interests of the people of the District of Columbia so long as it compares so favor- ably in proposed CP men dali the bids of or € or two years as demonstrated above. view of the foregoi: recommend Board of Health award the contract to W. P. ‘Wattrous, and, in bis failing, to W. Holmes, and, in the failing of the latter, to J. V. W. Vanrdet.berg. ete. lowest possible ——— es Maryland Conference of the M. P. Church. .

So ordered, and she was commit- ted to jail in default. NOT HER FIRST EXPLOIT. Mrs. Luney, now living in Piifer’s house in Cherokee Camp, on 21st street, says that Sa- rah Parker, allas “Puss” Oakley, last Mon- day took Johnny Péter, about nine years old, ont with her. on pretence of giving him some ciothing, and led him off to some house down town. The child got frightened and ran away home The Beckwith baby was taken on Thu day morr ing, about o'clock, not Wednes- day, as previously reporie: OAKLEY. The Baltimore American of this moraing thus describes the arrest in that city of “Puss” Oakley: “Deputy Frey walked out on the corner of Fayette and Cal- vert streets and met a woman answering in every particular the description given him hot more than fifteen minuies before by the Washington detec.ives. She was plainly, in her arms sound asleep. Marshal Frey, as soon as he saw the woman, approached her and asked ber where she obtained the child. She looked up, a little surprised at first, but soon recovered from her astonishment, and pleasantly replied, ‘ah, are you its father?” he deputy replied that he thought not and requested the woman to follow him, as she was badly wanted at headquarters. ‘On the pon 3 thither she was asked why she had stolen the child and come to Baltimore with it. She answered by saying that she intend- ed to return it immediately, and that she was on ker way to the depot to go back to Washington.” The Americen says: ‘We think that there are some facts in the case that have not yet come to light.” ——— a Letters from the People.

APPOINTMENT OF DAVID FLEMING AS STATION No. 10, efir i KEEPER OF LIFE-SAY ON 1HE JERSEY CoA 3 David Fleming, of . N.J., to the position of keeper jon No. 10, on the Jersey st, is one which has been fairly earned b that gentleman, who receives only the mod rate salary of $20v per annum for his services For over thirty years he been known as one of the most skilful ans ers, and was consp! the bark William Fortunio in 1851, th the bark Argyle in 1854. curred in the month of Febraary, and was one of the worst on the coast.

He would have been dro put for ing, who, 1 the current, nd fighting his way through the breakers, caught the ex- hausted seaman and brought him ashore Mr. Fleming was equally efficient at the wreck of the bark Joha Farnum in 1855, the brig South in March of the same year. when the cold was terrible; the ship New York in December, 1856, when he assisted in landing 212 passengers ‘through a bad surf; and the ship Clara Brookman. On this occasioa the life-boat was capsized and one of the crew drowned, a second beingsaved by Mr. Flem- ing. He rendered great service at the wreck of the D. W. Saunders in 1857, the schooner John A. Stanley in 1857, the schooner Speed in 1859, ship De Witt Clinton in 1869, the brig Goversor Bull in 1861, and numerous others.

Like all brave men, e is modest and perfectly satisfied with his commission and {ts moderate compensation, the former of which has just reached him. NV. ¥. World, 10th. Domestic Too.-Cuest—Every family should baye one of these. It would save much inconvenience and expense, for all small jobs about a house could then be done without sending foran expensive mechanic. The cost of the necessary tools shoull pre- yentno one from providing them, as they would pay for themselves in a single year. To begin, there should be a chopping or wooi ax, a hatchet, a saw, a claw hammer, a mil- let, several gimlcts of different sizes, two augers, say a half inch and an inch, two screwdrivers, une large enough to sci up bedsteads, two or three chisels, a small lane, a pair of pincers, a praning knife. jack-knife, a pair of shears, one or two fi A carpet stretcher, a bail of twine, ete. There should also be an assortmentof nails from spikes down tosmall tacks, a few brass- headed nails, screws of various sizes, and the nails and these should be kept in a box, something like carpenters carry, in separate apartments. The tools should be hung up in places marked out for them on aboard sur- face, where there should be an outline of each made, so that when a tool is done with it can be returned to the exact place belong- ing to it. You ean always tell, too, when any tool is missing. There should bea tool closet on the ground floor of some part of the house, to containa wide shelf, under which there should be a@ suitable drawer to contain all that may be required in the way of light material. No house should be con- sidered complete without such a closet, and they should be provided in building a house. Once accustomed to such a great convent- ence, no one would do without it-—German- town Telegraph. SFX IN CONVERSATION.—The old-time complaint of men regarding the burden of ladies in general conversation is mostly obsolete. In our day, women, on the whole, tallc in society quite'as well as men. They are not quite so epigrammatic, and some- times lack condensation; but they are decid- edly moresprightly, and tell any Story which requires quite dramatic expression a good geal better. Their grand defect in conversa- tion is obligingness. Ifthe subject started is a bore to him,orone he knows nothing about, the man will change it or be silent; bata woman will often go on, out of mere Sgt fetid with @ show of interest which is visibly pretense, and aseries ofreplies which &re vapid as the white of anegg. No man alks as badly as most en on subjects they know nothing about, for no man, who, ler those circumstances, talks at all, hesi- tates to be a little bitter—and vanilla, be it nice or not, has ercam- cheese. the serene, equable flow of woman's talk helps mightily to prevent con- versa‘ ion from d. erating into intellectual dueling—which, amusing for two min- utes, is a weariness after five, and to be fect shou'd be arrested after two shots each, Woman, moreover, wake up talkativeness in the men—an attribute of e sex which is lwo often overlooked.
