A METROPOLITAN POLICE BAND. A Capital Suggestion for Real Military Music. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Having reaa with much imterest and pleasure | your timely article on “Brass Bands’ 1n Mopday’s | \. Crane, of iHevokel paper, and your just censure of the pernicious | | carriage which Ww system of substitutes which prevails among the military bands and orchestras of this city, and which can only be obviated by establishing a per- | manent organization, such as may be “found in | gat every city in Europe, I beg leave to submit to | you a plan which I think ts the only feasible one that can be suggested to give the metropolis of America a band worthy of her name and fame. It is the formation of a band of picked men, under a competent leader, to be attached to the Metropolitan Police. Department, and to be known as the Metropolitun Police Band, of New York, Their duty may be considered to consist of playing every jay im some one Of the city parks and at police parades or on other public occasions in which the inuuicipal authorities would have an interest. But their priacipal duty sbvuld ve to give a con. certevery day 10 one of the pai ganization of such a body | wor they be of captain and the rank and file o: the band as patroimen. Such ao organization -would be a subject of pride and — encouragement to the police, and would exeruise a moral and beneficia! influence on the force | not to be overrated. A body of men nearly 3,000 | strong, into whose hands are committed some of | the most important interests of the city, and who may bea great padiic good or an equally great evil, according as they are disciphiaed, should cer- tuinly have the aid of swect harmony and the cord of sounds to eucourage them and to teach use or the club, Such a band would be also an or- nawent to tae great metropolis, and I contidently predict would be followed by the formation of | similar organizations in every city in tue Union. tis @ hopeless task to endeavor to maintain a real first class military band attacned to one of our militia regiments, as sufMfcient opportuatiies are not afforded for concerts and practice. No leader can keep his men together depend- ing on the few precarious concerts given under the auspices of a regiment. Give a band constant employment or a permanens | ich as I have suggested, and were will sity 1or substitutes, The excellence of the military bands in Europe consists in the fact position, that their Services are wholly devoted to their | | leaders and the regiments to which they belong; but that, of course, with our citizen soldiers, would be impossibie. The idea of a police band ts notan untried one. A the success of such an undertaking 1s shown im the Royal Irish Constabutary Band, ot stence ard recognized as bunds of Europe. The Police ould take this matter into con- every well disposed citizen will one ol the crac! Commissioners s pariily indorse. ropolttan Police Band of which New York may be | insely proud, and which will tend towards itro- ducing harmoay where discord and phynical force mught alone have sway. ARMONY, A SEDUCER MISSING. Daughter's Dishonor. [From the Kuoxville Chronicle, July 16.)

The alarm created in Jersey City and Hoboken ast year by the result of the analysis of the Passate water by Projessor Wurtz, of the Stevens Insutute, led to the formation of a joint commis- sion of tue Water Boards of Jersey City and Newark for the pargose of considering the feasibility of ovtaming a new water supply for both these cities. The cntef engineers of the two cities, to whom the matter was reterred to report upon, have done little or nothing in the matter. Accordingly a delegation of prominent citizens called upon Professor Wurtz for a second analysis | | of the Pussiac water, and that gentleman now sub them persuasive powers of another kind than the | mits his views, Wluch embody some starting dise closures. He opens by stating that the question of 4 pute water supply for the cities is not one of mere uf gency, but is now one of lite or deata. The result of his analysis shows tiat the impurities of the Passaic water have increased forty per cent this year over those of last year, At the same time tha mitigating agency, the fish, is on the wane, so that vue ratio of poilution in the future must depend on the multipitcation of these two factors, According to his ealeulation, waich, he submits, t& iucompicte, the increase of pollution, i 4 throughout, wouid mount up in another year to 4,600 per cont!
