This was not the last time that Boyton aroused the superstitious fears of the dwellers on river banks, and no doubt on more than one spot in Europe his sudden and inex- plicable appearance in out of the way places has laid tho foundation of legends that will be utilized to frighten children for years to come. When the Captain passed the little town of Sackingen, which lies “like a sack in the Rhine,” he doubtless woke up with his horn the memories of Victor Scheffel’s immortal “Trompeter,”” who first introduced trumpet blowing as a fine art to the dwellers in the castles on the Upper Rhine, Sf THE BLACK FOREST.

After his recovery he struck out again and swam for four days. There was not much of interest in the r inder of the voyage, but the people received him well everywhere.

PED YOR THEIR WINTER WORK. ‘The volunteer life saving corps, composed of three young men, William O'Neil, or “Nan, the Newsboy,” who acts as captain; Gilbert Long and Edward Kelly, whose heroic exploits in rescuing drowning persons from the East River have been published in the Henaxp, have for the past week been endeavoring to raise money enough to purchase a boat with which to patrol the river; and since the publishing of the ace count of the rescuing of Daniel Rogers, of Greenpoint, on the night of the 17th inst., their efforts have been crowned with success. At first, several sub- scriptions were received by the captain, and about $5 had been raised when Mr. A, J. Blades, of Rosh; Long Island, offered to furnish them a boat, and ceiver Sharp, of the Long Island Railroad, yolun- “teered to transfer it to this city providing they would name the boat after him, which they promised to do. It will arrive at James ship to-day. O'Neil was yesterday presented with $28 by. a prominent Water street merchant — wit which to purchase rubber suits for tho trio. O'Neil received a note yesterday from a gentleman, who wished his name withheld from the public, of+ fering to erect them a life saving station on some one of the docks; but O'Neil stated last evening that he was afraid that if a station was provided for then: Hey, might be tempted some cold and stormy vight to turn in for an hour or so to warm up, and thud lose a life. “You seo,” said he, ‘if we have a station and thera - should happen to be a life lost. the people might think that we were loafing about the stove; but it we haye no station the boys will be always out and om the alert, and no one can charge us with lounging.”* Gilbert Long, who ranks second in the association. and has already saved six lives, has for some tine ast occupied a position in a tin shop, Long said teveniug that yesterday erky rs 4 when he com- menced work, his employer coldly informed him that “he thought he paid more attention to the life savi than to his trade, and that he would dispense wil his services.” Consequently, Long has now no means of support. Commissioner Shields has in his possel- sion asworn affidavit of the saving of fourteen lives by William O'Neil, and with it expects to procure @ gold medal for him as a reward for his heroism. SANITARY REFORM IN OUR PUBLIO SCHOOLS. {From the Medical Record.] * The recent articles on school hygiene in the New York Henaxp are calculated to do much good in call- ing the attention of the public to this important sub- ject. Notwithstanding all that has been said concern- ing the necessity for reform and the means which have been tried to bring about such a result, the schools are, from a sanitary point of view, very little if any improved. Strange to say, where the most substantial aid should have been expected in efforts to benefit the school children the strongest op; tion has been encountered. The Board of Education has, directly and indirectly, thrown every obstacle in the way of placing the schools on a better sanitary footing, and, in fact, appears to bo actuated by a zeal in the matter which cannot, on general principles, be explained. It not only refuses to do anything itself, but i tively hinders the efforts of every one else. yes this is the kind of government to which the sanitary welfare of 100,000 school children is intrusted, So much has been said on the necessity of ten es ing the sanitary condition of the schools and of car- ing for the hygienic interests of the school children that it appears almost like useless reiteration to refer tothe subject again. But we are more and more impressed with the fact that continual agitation of the question 1s beginning to bear truit. The Medico- Legal Society, of this city, has investigated the sub ject on its own account, and, as a result, has taken @ decided stand in favor of a radical change in Lend al ent school management. Through its instrume iv valuable suggestions have been offered, urgent appeils have been made for medical representation on the school board, and, lastly, laws have been framed meet the emergencies of the hour. ‘The subject has been discussed in the Legislature, the daily press has used its powerful influence in the right direction, devoting column after column to the exposure of the unsanitary condition of the school how in fact, the tide of opinion outside of the beet ional board proee to be only = bas image tie All that appears to be necessary is to ¢ opinion of the board in sere en change which does not seem to be possible unless the board itself is replaced. This is, of course, riot to be expected under its present political management. What may bedone by the new Mayor remains to be seen. It will be recollected that during the last Legisia- ! ture a bill was passed Himiting the minimum age of attendance of school children to five years. This ap- peared well enough upon its face, but the Heraup very significantly asks whose business it is to see that the law is enforced. The Board of Educa- tion has certainly not acted in the matter, as the majority of the teachers have not even been informed of the existence of such a law. The consequence is that children under the specified aye are admitted almost without ques- tion and certainly without any active inte: ‘The class rooms are a8 crowded as ever, cont diseases are freely propagated, inspections the proper officials are so few and far between as to amount to nothing, and the principals draw salaries in proportion to the average attendance of pupils. When we consider, in the face of these facts, that the Board of Education is the opposing influence to the reforms which are n iron there not occa- sion for congratulation that the HrraLb has turned the influence of its powerful advocacy in the right di- rection and is leading fag opinion in the direction of demanding what it has heretofore merely sol ie ‘The Board ot Education says that the sanitary con: tion of the schools is perfect. But what a terrible re- Pog gd it assumes in so doing is best realized by those who are practically San with the state of affairs, more especially in the primary departments of the schools in question, A FISHERY EXPOSITION. ‘To THe Eprror of THs Heraup:— I have received a communication from the German Fishery Verein announcing their intention to have an international exhibition of the products of sea and, inland fisheries and the implements of fishing and fish culture. In view of the large productions of fish in this country and the growing export trace it is im- portant that America should be represented, and sons interested in canning, drying and pt teh should take advantage of the opportunity to their gage and enlarge their business con nections.
