ARDUOUS DUTIES AND SMALL PAY—THE AP- PLICATION FOR AN INCREASE. The members of the fire department of this city are now endeavoring to secure an Increase of the comparatively small pay now allowed them by Congressional appropriation. A com- talttee representing the members of the depart- ment have presented to the Commissioners and to Congress a strong array of faets in support of the application for increased pay. The pay of a private is $780 per annum, out of which he has to contribute one dollar monthly to the Fire- men’s Reliet Fund; he has to furnish bis own clothing, consisting of a summer and winter uniform, besides bis everyday clothing, which may be ruined at every fire, entailing heavy expenses, For instance, he goes toa fire witha new pair of rubber boots, costing $3.50, steps on a heated tin roof and roasts the soles to such an extent as to unfit the boots tor future use. He has high house rent to pay, as he is compelled, in order not to miss any alarm of fire, to live within easy reach of the engine house, and to consume 4s little time as possible in foing to and from meals. He is. virtually on duty twenty-four hours out of — every twenty-four, because when he is allowed a “day otf” he is compelled to report for duty at fires, should such occur in his absence. Although medical and surgical attendance is furnished tree, he is compelled to pay for his medicines and nursing if he is a single man, and, if he bas served less than a year, is compelled to tarnish @ substitute, who must be paid out of his own salary. A joreman of an engine company in New York receives $1,800 per annuin, his assistant $1,500, engineer $1,400, a first-class private 81,200, a second-class $1,100, and a third-class | $1,000. A foreman in New York receives as much as the chief engineer, and a first-class | private as much as an assistant ehiet engineer of the fire department of this city, The pay of the members of the department has not been increased since its organization, in 1869, ex- cept when, two years ago, the salary of the pri- vate was increased $60’ per annul, although | the city bas constantly grown tll it'now con- | tains 36,000 houses, exclusive of all govern- ment buildings. ee Is Very Young Veal Unwholesome. | SUDGE SNELL SAYS THERE IS A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. This morning in the Police Court, Simon Alexander, who keeps a butcher stand on Louisiana avenue, near the corner of 9th street, was charged with selling unwholesome meat, and also with interfering with the food inspector. Mr. Charles. Moore, for the defendant, entered. a plea of not guilty. ‘uspector Mothershead testified to finding a calf at the defendant's stand which was less than a week old. Witness said he had taken a young calf from the defendant some days ago Which was sent to the pound. While at the stand the defendant picked up his knite and threatened to cut witness ——heart out, and tried to drive him away Inspector Bohrer testified that veal so young as this was not in his opinion fit for food; the calfshould not be killed for food until four week's old. Inspector Mothershead was recalled. He tes- tifled that veal less than four weeks old was not in his opinion fit for food. Witness had noteaten any veal since the 9th of July when it nearly | Killed wim. Jobn King, a butcher, testified to the age of the animal according to’his belief, and said he did not think veal was healthy until the calf Was at least four weeks old, The judge thought the law on this subject should be plainer; it was detective in this re- gard. It is not for the court to make Jaws. The ‘age of the animal is only speculative, and there is no positive proof that the meat is unwhole- | some, except the opinion of the witnesses. Mr. Padgett thought that was expert testi- mony. Mr. Moore thought it was a difference of opin- | called & case of new impression, Persons have different opinions about eaiing meat. For in- stance, Chinese but if they were puton sale in'our mar ‘e’ would not think they were healthy. The court suspended judgment. Death of Rev. €. B. Middicton.

Theit erles for help soon attracted the at- tention of the neighbors, but not before the children had been so badly burned that two of them died that night and the other two are fatally injured, Tue house, whieh also took fire, would have been destroyed but for the etfurts of the island people. ‘The unfortunate little ones are children of Willian Pruitt and Lewis Cooper, two well-known citizens of ‘the island. “All were under twelve years of age.

AN OLD ORGANIZATION.—A portion of the stockholders of the Marine Insurance com- pany, of Alexandria, have called a stock- jolders’ meeting here. This company was or ganized in 1798 by Wm. Hartshorne, Jobo Gill, Geo, Taylor, Richard Conway, Robert Townsend Hooe, Jonah Thompson and James Bruce Nichols. The immediate cause of its organization was the French and the English depredations on the Alexandria shops, and its early rates were very high. It made money enough to continue to subsist up to the open- ing of the late war. Since then its business has ceased and no meetings have been held for areN years, The French spoilation bill will, itis likely, prove quite beneficial to the old in- surance company.

My wife has used it for the past nine months and speaks highly of its worth for washing purposes. She has also found it food In another way. For several years she has suf- fered from warts, which grew at the ends of the fin- gersand under the nails, causing great pain at times. After trying every known remedy, including eaustics, without success, she gave up about seven years azo, believing there’ was no cure for them. French Villa, Soap has proven to be their exterminator, for since Using It they have entirely disuppeured, and, us { have said, she gave up the use of remedies seven years ago, we cannot account for their disappearance but by the use of French Villa Soap only.
