When Indian atrocities aro traced to their exasperating causes it ofton appears that tho savages aro not without excellent civilized precedent for thou barbarity. Becent butcheries by the Arrapahoea have, been "worked up in this way with tho following result In rovonge for the killing of a young man a white party attacked the camp of Black Bear, a harmless old Indian, who had not tho most rcnioto connection with the affair. His family, consisting of himself, hi8 squaws and relativos, eleven in all, weromurdorod in cold blood, with the exception of ono papoose. Why the child was spared is not stated. Had the papoose not been overlooked the Piogan maBBacre would have been surpassed in thoroughness.

So long as tho white perpetrators of (such outrages are unpunished by the government authorities it iB preposterous to demand that the red man shall be a model of good behavior.

Let tbe franchise to bo sold provide that passengers shall be carried for live cents each adult; three cents for children, and twenty tickets bo sold by all conductors for one dollar, and that the present company shall be allowed to charge six cents and four as now; then he will learn tlifs fact: that if money can buy tho franchise the present oompany will have it, before an opposition at what thoy call ruinous figures will be allowed.

Y. THOSE WHO ARE INTENDING TO BUY FURNITURE Aro sometimes in doubt in regard to tbo merits of tho various establishments to which their attention is oallod It is an axiom in business that the oatablishm nt where the greatest inducements are offered, is tho one 'npon which patronage will be most liberally bestowed. The great varieties of style, the many grades of value, the different combinations of form and oolor which may properly exercise tho mind ard taste in the selection of interior decorations, are to many persons matters of bowilderment and trouble. Hence it is desirable ana important that tbo buyer's attention should be called to tho bouse where bis judgment wiU be assisted bv the inspection of an immense variety of the articles in question, and also by the advice of those who are competent to decide in such matters.

their advantage SCRANTON 4 MB AtlanUo at, oor.of Hoary myl4 lyeod ine of Supervisors have conferred a great convenience upon lawyers, public men and the county generally, by causing the laws of the last session of the Legislature, relative to Brooklyn, to be published in book form The publication in the newspapers, directed by the State, is well enough in its way. Com mencing promptly with the passage of the laws, and published in a form accessible to the public at large, it enables parties specially inter ested in particular Acts to watch for and secure a copy ot the provisions they are most desir ous to see. But a full and accurate record of the laws affecting a locality, haB been only ob tainable by waiting for the bul ky session law volumes of the year to appear; and then the inquirer has to purchase a mass of stuff relat ing to other localities, in order to find out the laws applicable to his own ooanty or city. The Supervisors have therefore conferred a public benefit by having the Kings County Acts com piled in advance of the session law volumes. More than ever is it important now that all Acts relating to Brooklyn should be promptly accessible to our lawyers, publicists and public men generally.

So many Acts are passed, and toward the end of a session in such careless rush, that not even the legislators themselves can tell what was the last special local enact ment on any given subject. Often a compara tively inoffensive Act is put through one year, and next year an adroit amendment of its language silently converts it into an engine of fraud and spoliation. Honest tax payers need to keep a close and prompt eye upon the vagaries of the annual Albany law mill, or they find their property hampered with obligations which they never dreamed of. The local authorities are startled occasionally by some evidently unfair demand made on them by some individual or corporation. On inquiry, they find a mandatory law has been smuggled through the Legislature, requiring them to do something which in their own honest judgment they would never dream of doing.

And if they demur, the beneficiary of the special Act goes to the courts, and down comes the peremptory mandamus, compelling them to carry out the legislative fraud upon the public, for personal benefit. Until we have an amended Constitution, requiring all proposed special laws to be publicly notified in the locality interested, so that the. aggrieved municipality or individuals may have a chance to expose the contemplated wrong, it will be impossible to prevent cases of this kind. But the next best thing, if we cannot find out beforehand what the spoliators propose, is to learn as soon after as possible, the extent of the adulteration they have infused into the session laws. And this knowledge the Supervisors' publication of the local laws of last session gives us, for the present year.

The Revival of the War Critic. We are glad he has come again. It is not easy to determine how we could get along without him. He stands as the embodiment of convictions without knowledge, of impressive ness without learning, of circumstantiality not without assurance, and of an elastic dogmatism that is no less earnest'because it accommodates itself to the exigencies of two sides whose fortunes change every day. That our civilian commentator should have to write, Jomim in hand, from which to sway his military terms is no reflection upon his head or heart.

It is a tribute to his discretion that his familiarity with war is the familiarity of the student, not the knowledge of the slaughtering savage. That he should break the French fall and assuage the Prussian pang by incontestably showing how fields are won after fields are lost, simply arguing reversely from the tactics taken, is a tribute to his ex post facto wisdom that will not be denied. The war critic is the most agreeable person, and his criticisms are the most agreeable incidents that are developed out of the wreck of matter and the crash of small aims. He has already proved equal to the French situation. He has more than mastered the German ground both of Prussia and of fighting.

A fly sheet of a note book used by him during the late unpleasantness lies before ns. The following words are marked and thus defined "Enfilading fire" fire from an Enfield rifle needle guns," the arms which the Teutons use in their times of greatest need chasse a nam deplume of the late Edgar A. Poe; i rifled cannon," artillery that has been stolen by the enemy plated ships," those built in China grand chain shot," the ammunition used by the French lancers; "bases of supply," hard tack, whisky, tobacco and crackers "lines of retreat," the shortest way home "by the right flank file left, by the left flank file right," little games; order arms," touch elbows present arms," shake hands all round "to the right shoulder, shift, to the left shoulder, shift," supposed to refer to the French habit of shrugging permanently under the head of missing," our own correspondent. And so on. With these explanations the war critic can be understood.

No reader will fail to perceive that he is already at his old work ia the New York papers, The war oritic elsewhere referred to, thus' moralizes in the N. Y. Standard: Tbe strangest (spectacle of all is the situation in Ireland. The Catuolio clergymen are, we are told, preparing for a grand demonstration in favor of France. Tbe Bame gentlemen Borne time ago prohibited all demonstrations in favor of Ireland, and earned the titlo of 'England's clerical police." Tho national journals hint that they were influenced by a desire not to bo disturbed in their comfortable benefices.

Exactly why they can have any sympathy with France does not very clearly appear. The Catholic clergymen are doing nothing of the kind. A principle of their life is not to take note of the secular arm the quoted title "England's clerical police," was never earned by anybody except the Standard inventor of it, and it is questionable if he deserves what he may earn thereby the national journals can hardly hint that the Catholic clergy do not want to be disturbed in their comfortable benefices, unless they hint it sarcastically, because those clergy have never had comfortable or other benefices in Ireland. The only clergy who ever had benefices there were the English Established Clergy them Mr. Gladstone very uncomfortably disturbed.

"Exactly why they can have any sympathy with France" does "clearly appear" liom the feet that England is doing her best to make France her enemy, and the enemy of England finds in every Irishman a friend and well wisher. With these explanations, the extract is perfectly correct. If France and Prussia only knew the anxiety with which the American people are waiting for the news of a great battle they would certainly hurry things up a little. We are impatient for the performance to begin and want to harry the performers up. We understood that the two armies were in snoh a state of preparation that as soon as war was declared they would be at it hammer and tonga in less than a week, and the war would be over in a fortnight.

InBtead of this they have been maneuvering for weeks and haven't had a fight yet We are tired of the discussion of the respective merits of the needle gun and chassepot and want to see them put to the test. We want to see what Napoleon's "Mitrailleur" amounts to in actual service, and whether the improved French artillery is superior to the Prussian rifled guns. We have our individual leanings to one side or the other, but as a general thing the American public will bear tho result of the first great battle with tolerable equanimity whichever side wins. Only we are getting a little restless waiting for that great clash of arms which was to have taken place any time within the past three has not come off yet. Hurry up Messieurs, the audience is getting out of patience.

Says a Republican paper, the acknowledged organ of President Grant: "We think it would be difficult to find in Europe or Asia a collec tion of men of equal education, so ignorant of economic science as the members of our two Houses of Congress. And they are the products of our common schools." This is what President Grant thinks of Congress and our com mon sehools. It is not difficult to find out what Congress thinks of President Grant. That body simply declined to do everything that he especially asked it to do. But by what right are the common schools made responsible for Congressmen nis confirms our impression that the party in power has always been opposed to popular education.

One thing we will say, That if the common schools did not turn out better "products" than average Radical Con gressmen of the period, then the arguments for their continuance would not oe impregnable, 'Ehe folks that are turned out of common schools tvs more likely to be the persons in whom tbe writer spies Congressmen as they are, The negroes in Cincinnati are forming anti vmnese leagues.

Thus, in a condensed and hurried account, is given an outline simply of the lager beer interest of owelty as developed in the Eastern District within the past quarter of a century, now representing a capltat of several million of dollars, the exact amount of Which cannot very readily be estimated without more thorough inquiry. It is quite sufficient to be made awrc of the fact that the qnantlty of the foaming amber colored fluid made this year by the brewers named above will aggregate about 200.000 barrels, and the question naturally suggesting Itself Is, where doeg it all go to, or how can such an enormous amount be consumed O'PAKE AND HIS TURTLE. Third "Interview" Brilliant Prospects of an Alderman JLnok, or the Ambitious uucambcr Why we have Car rioiiSiloYV the far tie Would Fix the Railroad men A Brilliant Scheme for sonic Alderman. Matters being extremely slow "in and about the City Hall" this morning, OTaka stepped out to the fountain and bad a tbird interview with the turtle.

Ho found Josiah in a very amiable mood, gracefully reclining upon his sofa, which consists of a single plank placed at a pleasant incline. On being asked whether he hod read Corry O'LanuB' suggestion to the writer to "kill that he replied, saying: Turtle Yes Corry always was a funny fellow. Ho likes to be sarcastic in his way, and gives many a hard hit in bis witty style. If he should kill mo I have no doubt that he would eat me, and then I could set on his stomach, or swim about his brains, or run my bead up into bis throat, or tickle his ribs with my feet, or brace myself in an indigestible position with my fins, and thus get even with him. Aa neither O'Lanus nor O'PaSe was ever an Alderman, they should bo careful bow they allow a turtlo to "interview" thom internally.

THE "HONOBS" OF OPFICE. O'Pakc To leave that subject, do you over exit tho fountain, Josiah? Turtle Oh yes, occasionally I steal out for a orawl about. Last week I went up in the Capitoline pond section of town, and found myself fn the Twenty first Ward. Upon a corner stood three men, two of whom were in close conversation a Bort of curbstone confab. As I passed they shook hands cordially and separated.

When across the street one sung out, "Now, Alderman, don't neglect that matter; if it goes through I'll give you $200." In these tig ht times, with gold cavorting like a well strung jumping jack, this is a plum not to be lost sight of, especially by a representative of one of the out lying wards. "That mattor" haB tho turtle's heartiest Bympatby. And the Alderman will prove a weak fiBh if he does not manage to ornament the interior of his pocket book with some of the finest specimens of governmental paper banging. By so ding ho will prove how conscientiously ho does his duty, and as the amount, officially speaking, Is paltry, he can safely say of tho "matter'' that "there is nothing in it," From that amount no well bred Alderman would expect a "rake." HOW A OUOTOIBEB GEEW TO A WATEBMELON. OTake How are you informed as to vegetation? Turtle To illustrate, let me say that there was onco a little cucumber which grew up as most cucumbers do.

It came to be a cucumber of moderate dimensions and ability went to war and came out a Captain of cucumbers it crew lustily and waB very green. Then as is usu. al with cucumberB it got "pickled" it frequently gst "pickled," and kept so nntil it lost nearly all traces of cucumberhood and resolved itself into perpetual pickle. Well, many a man has dono the same. Then it fell into a tannery where it went to seed.

This, in ordinary life, would havo been its ond but it again went to war, it jumped from Colonel to General, to Commander in Chief, and exhibited the anomaly of a very large pickled cucumber with very little in it. Then it traveled all over the land and was everywhere called great. It grew into politics, and "seedy" or "pickled" the cucumber was again successful. It was a phenomenon of veg ctation it became President of a great country, and insisted that all the common cucumbers of the land should smoke tho cigar of peace. It grew bigger, more dropsical; and thus tho career of TJIysesa S.

Grant proved that a cucumber may grow to be a watermelon. And that Is "what I know about farming." OTake And now what about THE CABBION OTJTBAOE. Turtle Oh, that is nothing so very unusual, When a threatened danger like that comes upon your city, all hands aro up In arms about it. But it comes about in tho most commonplace way. One day this week in New York and Brooklyn there were 36 cases of death from effects of the heat.

Then of course the Coroners wero overworked and hurried. No account is kept of the animals which dio from the same causo but beyond a doubt tho common everyday number is largely increased. The result is that the scareugera are very busy, the very horseB employed to draw away dead ones fall in their tracks and in turn are hauled away. Tho men who drive the carts get prostrated and are laid up, untried persons taking their places. The offal boats aro piled high with dead; tbey leave the docks at a jUer hour than usual, they are tewed mora slowly because overburdened.

The men who work them, hand, ling dead carcasses before they are sufficiently decayed lo emit their most dreadful sickening etonch, do not consider the presence of a dead animal so very terrible. Tho carrion cargo is therefore thrown overboard at the usual timo when tho boat has not reached the accustomed spot. In such weather tho volume of water discharged by the Hudson Eiver is insufficient to drive these carcasses out to sea. They float about and fill with accumulated gaaes until very buoyant; the swash sea irom the New Jersey coast line drives them to the Brooklyn side where they decay and blister in the sun until washed ashore. All this trouble occurB simply because tho rush of work is too great.

Evory your this same thing takes place, the same aB the floating ice nuisance, which drifts up aud down the East River in Winter. Then everybody howls for a bridge. Now, the cry is to crucify the New York health authorities and yet you all know that ice will drift next Winter, aud that dead carcasses will nearly stifle you, as now, nest Summer. If the floating ice had been plentifully salted for the last ten Winters the East Biver Bridge would not have been already begun, aud if a proper coast watch was included in the Health Budget of expense, year after year, extraordinary service, at enhanced figures, would not now be required. Your wise heads are not wise in time, that is the trouble.

MOBB BAILBOAD REDUCTION. OTake What are your views on our city railroads Turtle No city railroad corporation ever yet lived up to the promises made. They have all forfeited their characters time and again. The cars are crowded, thus encouraging the conductors in "knocking down." One route, almost always crowded, has conductors who would tarn up their noses at the offer of a situation paying less thau $7 per day! Yet the Company put on no more cars, thus practically saying to the conductors, "Steal and be happy." The City Railroad has built one or more roads out of the earningB of those originally built, all the time declaring dividends, and yet its managets coolly inform the public that they cannot afford to run their roads at five cent fare. Tho idea is preposterous.

Down among us turtles such a statement would be declared a lie. I know this sounds Tribuneieh, but sometimes even Greeley speaks the truth when he Bpeaks the sharpest. You put an advertisement like this in the Eagle, and see how many replies you will get. WANTED To buy at par any number of shares of the Brooklyn City Railroad or Union Ferry Co. shares.

Address O'PAKE, Eagle office. My shell for it yon will not get one. Why Bo cause the stock can easily be sold for $250 per $100. Is this a sign that the roads do not pay 1 IF I WERE AN ALDEKMAN, my first duty to my constituents would be to compel these greedy companies to reduce their fare. A franchise worth $10,000,000 was absolutely given to them by the city.

The chief clause was that fare should not exceed live cents per grown passenger and three cents for children. Duriug the war a government tax on gross rccoiptB, equal to a sixth of a cent, was imposed. A willing public or a subsidized Common Council, or both, allowed these companies to put up the fare to six cents for adults and four cents for children. You have had over five years of peace, the tax on gross receipts has been removed by Congress, and yet these grasping monopolies coolly tell you that they cannot afford to reduce the fare. All their rights hinge on five cent fare if they do not run at that rate they have no right to run at all tho one cent advance was because of a government tax, which is not now imposed, and here the matter ends.

If they cannot operate the Brooklyn City railroads at five cents per passenger, they should be made to dispose of their franchise to tho city, which can run at that rate and make money by It. Unless they come down to tho old rates, you ought to see that the next Legiulature takes the necessary action to extinguish their franchise. Then you would learn at what value thoy held It. Millions of dollars would bo tho claim then. Pleading poverty with shares of stock rating at moro than a hundred per cent, premium, Ib, to uso an oc casional expression of the editor of tho Eaole, "too thin.

it won't do, gentlemen." ANOTHER BAIIiEOAD MATTEE. There is another little matter in connection with your local railroads. Why is not the Eastorn District and l'rospect Park route through Nostrand avonue put in operation 7 The interested parties toll you because a sciicB of injunctions have been put upon their progress. Who got out tho injunctions, and why 1 The read wbb to bavo been in operation on tho 15th of May. The track is about half laid, the avenue named rendered impassible in placos, and loft, its pavement torn up, and property owners deprived of thoir right of way along a thoroughfare.

Were not tho injunotions a simple blind, got out by the railroad interest to bridge over the Winter, in order to commence next Spring, when new route oan be more cheaply run, and will be more likely to pay 1 The turtle thinks so. Again, a similar route through Vanderbilt avenue is now in operation, and does sot, aa yet, pay expenses. Was not tbe Nostrand avenue route kept back to see if that wonld be self sustaining There are many wheels within other wheels, and some of them are railroad wheels. Five years from to day these routes will both pay largely, and then, probably, the owners will beoln to plead extra poverty the larger the dividends grow. Giving away railroad franchises is all wrong; they should be Bold at auction to the highest bidder, under certain agreements, tho receipts put in the TrsaBury, and the company purchasing held to a rigid accountability.

HOW TO VALUE A BAILBOAD FRANCHISE. If any of your Aldermen, Bergen for Instance, desires to ascertain the value of a Fulton street railroad fran ohlBe, let him get the Common Counoil to take tho necessary measures to sell a tranohiso for any one of the present routes, say Greenpoiut, Greene avenue or Green Where and How the Beverage is Mado. BREWERS AND BREWERIES IN THE EASTERN DISTRICT. The Importance of Good Cellars. EJVOBMOUS EXTENT OF THE TRAFFIC.

It is the purpose of this article to give a brief sketch of the principal breweries located in tbe Eastern District, where the now almost universal beverage in use in the principal cities of the United Statei by those whd indulge in the sooial glass, and at tho same time famish the readers of the Eagle information regarding this all important branch of industry, in which a very large amount is invested this city and vicinity in the manufacture of this popular drink. The few scattered breweries that were ample to moro than supply the demand fifteen years ago, would scarcely furnish sufficient for one day's consumption of the two cities at tho present time, and now, as then, the demand for increased facilities to store larger quantities of the fluid, is made year after year, and still the cry is for more. In and adjacent to the Eastern District thero aro now located upwards of.twenty large breweries where as many years Bince there were but two or three at tho utmost and in fact it is but little more thau twenty throe years since lager beer was first mado on Long Island, provious to which those in the business manufactured what was known as small beer, for immediate use, as it could not be kept more than three days. At that period the U6e or necessity for cellars such as can be found attached to every brewery at present, was unknown or deemed bo expensive as to preolude the possibility of indulging in what has since been recognised as a prime necessity. Year by year excavationB have been made in and about the premises where the several breweries are located, until there is as much, and in some instances more, space occupied beneath tho surface than above.

One brewer has an under cellar of four compartments, eighty feet in depth and fifty feet square, while others range from that figure as low as thirty feet doep. As an additional advantage some of the brewers, moro enterprising than their fellows, have erected ico houses, and find them serviceable in enabling them to furnish their thirsty patrons with cool lager throughout the heated summers such as we are at present enduring. Starting from the head of Grand street along the BuBhwick Boulevard, one of the largest and best appointed of the breweries in that section of the city first met with is that of tbe lately deceased Frederick Fries; embracing an ordinary city block of twenty four full lots, bounded by tho Boulevard, Scholes aud Mesorole streets. Bince the death of Mr. Fries, some few months since, the business has been carried on as usual by the widow, who possesses good faculties of administration, and has for a superintendent, Mr.

Henry A. Urban, a man well adapted to this position of tniBt. The various duties attending the manufacture of beer, are supervised by Mr. Gustav Duschuck, and. the books and accounts are attended to by Mr.

Fred Hower, assisted by George Fries, tho eldest sou of deceased. THE BUILDINGS. The principal of these are four in the brewery proper, and ice and fomenting house, and offices and dwelling, in and beneath the last of which are located the Baloon and trail and the cellars for eohlnk or new beer. Ou the first floor of the brewery, which is 62 feet by 85 in extent are located two boilers in which the beer is first prepared, of a capacity of 125 barrels. Above this are three floors, the second and third devoted to the storing of hops and malt and the grinding and other treatment to which the latter has to be subjected before entering into the composition of the favorite beverage, while on the topmost are to be found extensive oooling pans covering tbe entire surface of the building inside tho walls with the oxception of a space sufficient to pass around the outer edge of the pans.

After being pumped into these pans from the first floor and allowed a sufficient time to cool, the beer again descend to tbe lower floor, where it is conducted to the fomenting room into huge tanks and from thence at the proper time is transferred to casks ranged in tiorB in the cellar beneath the Bur face, each holding 000 gallons. Mr. Fries lived to complete the first ice house in use on Long Island at a cost of $45,000 beneath which were four cellars 80 feet deep, and had intended to make further excavations on tbe land owned by him to enable him to store a larger amount of beer. Tho improvements contemplated by him will probably be carried out the ensuing year. In this as in most of the larger brewerieB is to bo found a patent cooler comprising a standard of copper pipes ranged horizontally, through which ioe cold water from a largo tank above is kept constantly running, while over the outer surface the clear and sparkling beer is allowed to trickle whilo warm and is thus instantly cooled and run into barrels.

Probably one of the most interesting Bights about any brewery can be observed at early moru, say about five o'clock, when all hands are doing their level best, preparatory to loading up the trucks previous to their departure to serve tbe retail dealers about the cities. All is activity and every man about tho place finds something to engage his liveliest attention for a time. The empty kegs are deposited in the afternoon at one end of a brick building before which is a wooden platform, They are first thoroughly washed inside and out, and the first thing in the morning filled, corked and stamped and the bungs driven in. This dona tho trucks are loaded each with from four to six dozen kegs or quarter barrels according to capacity, aad are driven avray only to return at intervals for moro as may be required. Attached to tbe establishment is a garden adjoining the saloon and dwelling which the Thalia Dramatic Society have engaged and fitted up, intending to inaugurate a series of amatour theatricals, to begin on Wednesday evening next.

The dwelling is a four story brick edifice, and all but the upper floor, which is lot out for lodge meetings, is occupied by the family and for the saloon, which last is certaiuly not tho dullest part of the concern at any time of tho day or evening. SCHAKNAGEL AND BEHZNEB. The Boulevard Brewery, conducted by this firm and located on the crown of the hill where tbe new Boulevard turns to the east, extend? tlio tleptb. of a block backlo WiUjbingtOU was formerly kuowu. They have a brewery and storehouse attached, and four cellars, 100 feet by 40 iu extent, and 32 feot deep, and can turn ont from fifty to Beventy barrels of lager a day.

The property owned by them is 200 feet square, and embraces one of tho best gardens and pleasure grounds within the limits of the city. Turning to tbe left, on Washington Btroet corner of Forrest, is the brewery of J. SCHOENBNWOLD, a new strncture built but little more than a yoar, 70 feet by 50, with an addition at the rear for a fomenting room. It has four cellars 35 feet deep, and is furnished with new and improved steam apparatus, with a capacity of eighty to ninety barrels per day. By tho introduction of steam in the manufacture of lager, less than half the number of men formerly required are employed, besides which there are numerous other advantages attained.

OBEBMEIEB AND LEIBMAN have an extensive brewery on the same street, built within two years, and have also adopted the more modern Bystem, including steam. They have four large cellars, and turn out 100 barrels at each brewing daily. The brewery is 80 feet by GO, aud built of brick. From thence, going in an easterly direction about a square, the most extensive brewery of the Island is reached, that of s. liebman'b sons.

This concern was started in 1855 with a singlo building and six lots of ground, whereas it embraces to day six or more substantial buildings and a landed property of eighty city lots. Tho brewery, malt and store houses are of brick and constructed together, presenting a frontage of 250 feet by fifty feet iu depth, and from two lo five stories in height. Two large steam boilers ana a twenty five horse engine supply all tho power required in grinding tho malt, brewing, etc. and 160 barrels of beer are made at each brewing. Tho total sales last year were in excess of 20,000 and tbey anticipate to increase on that figure considerably this year.

Contrary to the way of thinking of some of their neighbors they put no faith in iee houses, the coutents of which melt sway but prefer to Invest what they can spare from their business fn cellars that will endure for a century, Tho cellars already excavated and arched over if placed iu line would extend 1,500 feot in length with a width of 20 feet, thus giving a superficial area of 30,000 square feet. The surprising success of this firm may be explained in the statement that the father and his three sons have given their attention to business in a purely practical way, neither of them being afraid or ashamed to perform their share of the labor. The responsibilities are divided by choice, one acting as superintendent, another as accountant, and tho remaining member aB outdoor and general business manager. From thirty six to forty four workmen are employed, all of whom reside on or near the premises. MELTZEIt BnOTBEBS have recently located in the Eighteenth Ward, within the limits of which the majority in the district aro embraced, and have purchased twenty one lots of ground, fronting on Myrtle and Suvdam streets, upon which they will erect a new brewery and other buildings next year.

Their brewery is now at No. 00 Mea jcrole street, and has a capacity of fifty barrols per day. At present the only buildings on their new site is a dwelling anda covered platform for picnic parties, to provide for which their adaptability cannot for a moment bo questioned after onco getting a taste of the excellent native turtle soup gotten up at convenient intervulB during the season. JOHN SOHNEIDEB's. Returning to the thickly settled portion of the Sixteenth Ward, one of the oldeBt and most widely known of tho breweries is that of John Schneider, having a frontage on Meserole, Scholes and Smith strcete, and embracing about twenty city lots all told.

The main buildings aro on Scholes street, and are 275 feet in length, including an ice house, and a new brewery erected this year and still incomplete. The capacity of tho brewery is 200 barrels per day ordinarily, capable of being increased to double that amount if requisite. Mr, Schneider lias eleven cellars, with an nreu of 20,000 All the more modern improvements aro to be found in this model establishment, which has now been in successful operation twenty four years, and is tho second oldest on Long Island. It mny be remarked that Mr. Schneider waa the first to mako lager in this city, previous to which small beer was iu vogue, and was but three months behind the New York brewers in effecting the necessary changes to manufacture it.

Mr. Gustav Burhonne, son in law of the proprietor, is the business manager, and has about forty men constantly employed. The location and a few minor details only concerning tho remainder of tho brewers can be given, owing to a lack of space, which will doubtless be accepted as a reasonable excuse for any seeming partiality or preference given to one more than another; and it must also be remembered that statistics could not be gathered tcom all alike, for want of time and opportunity.

The inrtiu fact in the war news this morning is that the Prussians are entrenching themselves, and opposing the spade instead ol the bayonet to the French advance.

This story does not come from Paris, in which case it might be regarded as a canard to excuse the delay in the French movements; but from London, and in a dispatch the general tone of which is rather friendly to Prussia than to France. Now if a series of entrenchments and sieges, instead of pitched battios on open plain, are to characterize the campaign, it is evidently a long and tedious war that is in prospect, and the statement to that effect by the Frenoh Emperor in his address to his army may have been based on this knowledge of the defensive tactics his adversaries intended to pursue. The question therefore arises, supposing the war should be a long and tedious one, to whose advantage would the delay enure The world has had examples of purposely prolonged warfare before to day, wherein the object of the one combatant was rather to slowly exhaust and wear out tho other than to crush him by force and violence. Wellington's Portuguese campaign is well described by Emerson, in bis "English Traits," as based on the idea that the Empire was an artificial structure, which could not long hold out against a silent nnremitted burrowing under one comer of its foundations. A mora modern instance is that of the Crimean war.

The allied armies of France and England besieged Sebastopol, a fortress in a distant corner of the huge Russian empire. The English Field Marshal wanted to carry the city by assault, at first. The French commauder, wiser, or inspired by the advice of his astute Emperor, preferred to keep up the siege, letting it drag on for many months. The allies fetched all their supplies easily by water; the Russians had to haul theirs overland, many hundreds of miles. How many hundreds of thousands of troops and beasts of burden and stores of supplies, Russia wasted and wore out in tho toilsome marches across uninhabited deserts, the world may never know.

Suffice it to say that the Crimean war, thus conducted, slowly but surely exhausted the military power of Russia. While, if the allies had invaded the interior of that vast and thinly settled conn try, they would have met the fate of the First Napoleon, who left half a million of his best troops dead in his retreat from Moscow. Just now, Prussia is at her best. The enthusiasm of the South German States, as well as of her own people, is at fever heat. Delay and tedious prosecution of defense of fortified places cannot increase the German enthusiasm; but may, on tbe other hand, give time for German unionists to realize that their grand and laudable idea of a united fatherland is too noble to be prostrated before the personal and dynastic ambition of the selfish House of Hohenzollem, France is a compact nation, no part of which, not even Alsace, can be detached from its allegiance toParis.

But Baden nJ Bav aria, Hanover and Saxony, still retain enough of their old provincial feeling to become the more divisible from Trussia the longer the war lingers on without decisive result. As to alliances, Napoleon has only to let Belgium alone, to be assured of England's non interference with his naval superiority in the fight. Denmark and Italy will not be alienated from their present French sympathies by the prolongation of the struggle. While Prussia's forces are being wasted like those of France in indecisive struggles over the camps and fortresses of the Rhine, Austria will be getting daily more ready to join in at the moment when her hated rival for the headship of Germany shali be least able lo spare troops from the struggle with France to operate against her. Another and still strongei indication of which side wonld profit by a tedious prolongation of indecisive spade war, is furnished by the respective composition of the rival forces.

Prussia commands more men, trained to arms, than France. But the French have a great superiority in the number of their regular standing army. To watch Austria and Denmark aad make headway against the French, Prussia has had to call out her citizen soldiery as well as her regular army. She has had, at the moment of harvest, to call into the ranks citizens from the agricultural districts and from every variety of business occupation. France brings soldiers who if not in war would be loafing in home camps and garrisons, against men trained to war, also, but who are ordinarily engaged in civil pursuits, and the loss of every one of whom is a daily check to the pursuits of industry.

The waiting game, therefore, will serve, at least for the first year ol war, to weaken France, comparatively, less than Prussia. If tho Prussians have really resolved to stand on the defensive and protect themselves against French invasion by digging and ditching, they seem to have bestowed on their antagonist a not inconsiderable advantage. Press Censorship. The Tribune on Monday "makes a very vigorous onslaught upon certain noted railway managers, accusing them of robbery, swindling, and almost every form of pecuniary On Tuesday the Standard announces that Mr. James Fisk, has forbidden the sale of the Tribune on the Erie railroad, and on the steamboat lines controlled by him.

In this matter the freedom of the press is directly concerned. If the Iribum has slandered Mr. Fisk or any other man, the courts are open to him for redress. But for him, as a railroad and steamboat director, to undertake to prescribe what papers shall or shall not bo procurable on his lines of travel, is an impertinence toward the whole pross, which it is fitting for every journal to resent. Mr.

Fisk is at liberty to exclude the Tribune from his house but not from a railroad, which holds a public charter, and exists primarily for the convenience of the public at large, Tribune readers included and only secondarily for the personal benefit of its proprietors or directors. The press would soon become the common slave of monopolists and politicians, if it admitted the claim of a management in charge of public or chartered property to establish a censorship like that of Paris or Berlin, and to dictate what organs of publie opinion may and what may not, be therein circulated. If the press submit to Mr. Fisk's assumption, we shall next have President Grant forbidding the circuktioa of Democratic papers in or by the Nuvy Yards, post offices and pub he institutions of the country. A league of three or four railroad managors would enable them to dictate what papers alone may be sold on any of the trains running out of New York.

Obviously, therefore, Mr. Fisk's attempted censorship of the press cannot bo endured. It is too dangerous a pre cedent. The Ivibune newspaper, like the Tribune writers, must have equal rights with evory other paper and every other writer, upon every public conveyance in the country. Tho only censorship of the press that is permissible in a free country is that which public opinion may inflict by refusing to buy a paper, and that which the Courts of law may inflict in punishment for specific libel.

We cannot have even so great a man as Mr. James Fisk prescribing what papers tho traveling public are to be permitted to peruse. The cause of the Tribune in this novel decree of the Index Expurgato rim of the Erie Railroad, is the cause not merely of every newspaper in the land, but of all the people, and of every rit they value, dodo of which are secure when the jasfc freedom of the press is thus asBailefj, The great Tweed, who holdB a dozen, public offices, more or less, who runs the Coon Council, the Police Commission, and all other branches of the New York City Government, roles Tammany and manages the Amerious Club still finds time for literature.

Brooklyn will show a muoh larger increase of population than New York wo are still confident of half a million. tlm imaginative statements of war cor respondents is one to the effoct that the French soldiers at Saarbrnck have nothing to oat ana are half starved and woebegone." That such should be the condition, at tho beginning of a campaign, of any part of an army so thoroughly organized in all its departments as the French, is bo improbable as to bo simply absurd. Among the minor arts of war is the efficiency of each side in contradicting the reports of tho other. Tho Europoan belligerents already show great industry in this.

From Berlin comes nows of an attack by tho Fronch and their disastrous repulse. Tho story is hardly made public before a flat denial is received from Paris. At the same time, the Paris journals say that French citizens are expelled from Prussia with much maltreatment a charge which tho friends of Gormany promptly repel. As only one of tho war making powers tolerates correspondents in its camps we shall probably have an abundance of mistatements. A captain of the British navy applied for permission to visit Chorbourg with the avowed intention of taking notes of the fleet, fortifications, and workshops.

As the House of Commons ia talking war, and tho English army is strengthening and tho navy getting in fighting trim, and as the purpose of England to assume a hostile position in certain contingencies is plainly intimated, it is hardly surprising that the French authorities denied the request. Indeed the application was marked by a measuro of coolness which, had it come in like circumstances from this side of the Atlantic, would have been characterized as Yankee effrontery. The editor of tho New York sporting paper, the Spirit of the Times, urged an early trial of his libel suit against the editor of another sporting paper, on the ground that ho had already lost two witnesses by death, and he did not know how Boon he might lose the romainder." Tho members of the rude, lawless, and outcast class of society known as tho "sporting world," may bo indeed said to rfarry their lives in their hands. They might be expected to perish, by the handB of their companions or at the hand of the law, in as largo numbers as the notable mortality among Georgo Wilkes' witnesses and rionds indicates. Still, marked men sometimes live long.

Beddy the Blacksmith, The Allon, and numerous gamblers and pugilists cling to life with remarkable tenac ity. Although Captain General De Rodas has fre quently and positively announced the suppression of the insurrection, it not? appears from a Madrid telegram that he asks for re enforcements to tho numberof 14,000. This proves that peace does not prevail in Cuba, and it is quite probable, as reported, that the Spanish government is urged to seriously consider the affairs of the island with a view of recognizing its independence. Tho news ought to have another effect. Tho Cu ban generals now in this country, learning that there is still fighting to be done, will return to the front, and presently Quesada will be at the head of bis troops, waving the ladies' presentation sword, in receiving which he gallantly avowed hia readiness to die for the cause.

There will be a better opportunity for performing the mortuary consideration in Cuba than on Broadwav. Secretary Seward, according to common report, beguiles the hours of unaccustomed idleness in rowing a handsome new boat, in preparing for trips to California and around the world, and in making non official speeches. He made one of tho latter at Auburn yesterday, when the colored people celebrated the Fifteenth Amendment. iVlthough Mr. Seward avowed his joy at African enfranchisement, there are those in his party who insist that he is entitled to little of the credit of its accomplishment.

The extremely Radical Republicans will discover fresh proof of his treach erous conservatism in his reminding his audience that even the African race cannot preserve their practical freedom without the emancipating in fluences of education. There are great deeds that perish for lack of fit ting public record. Major Goneral Ben. Butler, of tho Massachusetts militia, is resolved not to come short of fame for such a reason. Finding no his torian of his military glory, ho determined to cole brato himself, and did so at a regimental meeting yesterday.

According to Butler he was the first to anticipate tho war. Ho knew it "had got to come, and confided the secret to Governor Andrew. Between them they mobilized the Massachusetts militia, and tho country was saved. Modest men wait for others to magnify their heroic and immortal exploits, but Butler is not a modest man. Besides, there is this excuse for Butler, that if he did not apotheosize himself he would remain undeified.

So far as the action of tho late State Teachers' A can affect tho result, the rod will not be spared and the children spoiled for tho present. A movement toward abolishing corporeal punishment was made but received with little favor. Rev. Mr. May made a mild appeal in behalf of moral suasion and was ropliod to in a spirited speech by Mr.

William Boss of Sonoca. The latter is a vigorous exponent of the old. school of educational practice, and talked In a way to make tho ears and the cuticles of insubordinate pupils tingle. He insisted that the rod in tho sohool room and the bayonet in public affairs should take tho place of moral suasion. Ho chastised boards of education as well as supposititious unruly chilc'ren, and asBumcd an attitude so threatening and flagellatory that tho consideration of the subject was hastily postponed, and nothing more waB heard of it during tho session.

Russia, aside from the sympathy with men and things American the Czar has been at pains to manifest, is under a special obligation to tho late Secretary of State. Through his active assistance an undesirable territory was gotten rid of at a handsome price. It is doubtful that the United States secured much in the acquisition of AlaBka, except an extension of boundary lines and the occasional excitement of a government seal fishery auction, but it is not at all doubtful that Russia found the transaction profitable. The ex Secretary, it is said, is going to China, and no sooner had the Czar been informed of the contemplated visit than he offered the distinguished traveller the Pekin palace of the Imperial Legation as a residence. This courtesy is not merely a recognition of a representative American, but also an acknowledgment of the obligation referred to ThoBunofMr.

Seward's life ia going down with splendor unfamiliar in tho oxporionco of retired (statesmen. He has already made a BuecHHnftil tour of the tropics. His coming progress around the world promises to bo still more magnificent. Public men usually in becoming private alBO become obscure. Mr.

Seward seems resolved to ob cape so unsatisfactory a conclusion. When citizens are butchered in their houses by mysterious assassins, public opinion is not apt to be tender toward murderers, and the demand that tho extromo penalty of the law shall be enforced upon criminals is unusually emphatic. Tho blen ded horror and dread occasioned by tho Nathan tragedy will undoubtedly strengthen the popular approval of Governor Hoffman's decision in tho case of Real. It seems hard for a culprit that orimes wholly distinct from his own should con firm with overwhelming force tho general judgment against him, but such a result ia in entiro conformity with human natural impulses as well as with social theories. Unless the systom of laws for the protection of society is an absurd mockery it must be so operated that tho enemies of society shall know they cannot make war upon it with impunity.

There may be dispute as to the expediency of capital punishment, but there can bo none as to this: Whatover the law is it muet berigidly enforced not so much for vengeance as for protection. The time is exceptionally fruitful of murders, but the coming time will bo still more fruitful, unleBB officers shall bo more diligent to detect and energetic to prosecute, juriea shall be more prompt to convict, and Governors shall be as resolute in non interference as Hoffman has wisely been in the caee of Real. Judge Bedford's chargo to tho Grand Jury of the New York General Sessions yesterday, while it might be wisely pruned as to its affluent rhetoric, contains important suggestions. The reflections of the press on the prevalence of crime and inefficiency in the administration of justice are sometimes pronounced hasty generalizations. But the newspapers havo made no stronger protest against neglect of official duty than is mado by a magistrate who has peculiar facilities for fully understanding the subject whereof he spoakB.

Beferrring to tho Nathan murder, Judge Bedford said that "the lawless class are daily becoming more daring and reckless." If thia moans anything, it means that official resistance to their outrages iB becoming less and leas earnest. The Judge did not add, as he might havo added, that the lawless claaB are becoming moro daring because they have an increasing consciousness that they are also the governing clasB. What the Judge did say, in tho sentence quoted, inferen tially sums up the situation, and public attention cannot not be diverted from it by the Judge's subsequent first rate notice of Superintendent Jourdan and hia police. Whether that praiae is gratuitous or deserved the Superintendent and his men have now an opportunity for proving the popular judgment being in the meantime Another Meeting of the Protesting Property Holders Continuea Protest Against Payment Disagreement of Legal Luminanet and Difficulty in Securing Counsel Prospective latiga. lion.

A meeting of the Bedford Avenue Improvement Association, adjourned from Thursday evening, was held last evening in the real estate office of G. W. Burrell, corner of Bedford and DeKalb avenues, for the purpose of hearing a report from tho Executive Committee, and further considering the protost against paj ng for the Scrimshaw pavement recently laid upon Bedford avenue. About fifteen or sixteen citizens were present, and Colonel Julian Allen, President, ocoupied the chair. The Executive Committee, through Mr.

A. J. Decker, simply reported progress, and that no decisive steps had been taken toward retaining counsel. Mr. Peter Corcoran resigned from the Executive Committee in consequence of illness in his family, and Colonel Allen was selected to fill the vacancy.

"GOOD FOE NOTHING HORRIBLE STUFF." Mr. John Goward said that the matter needed no argument, for let any man walk down the avenue and he will see that the pavement is good for nothing. Col. Allen and otherB were willing to pay for it if good, but otherwise not. Mr.

G. P. GlasB said it was no use to discuss tho quality any further, and that they should now only soo what legal rights they had, and whether they were to be forced to pay for the "horrible Bluff." He undor Btood that one lawyer had said that they had no defense but to "grin and bear it," while another thought he had detected some defects in tho law. Mr. Glass thought their ouly way was to keep their batteries masked, double shot their guns, if they could And shot enough and wait patiently till such time as they wore ready for actiOD.

A prominent lawyer had been consult who declined to give any opinion whatever uo Icbb first paid a retainer of a hundrod dollars, though a young man in the lawyer's office intimated that THE CASE WAS HOPELESS.

Others followed with expressions of opiuion against the pavement, and one gentleman said that the ongineor iu charge of the work had told him that the contract exacted no guarantee for faithful execution.

Allon didn't want them to be "pennywise and pound fooMah," but he didu't believe any law existed to make people take that for which they had not aBkod and which wasof no use to them, and if ten thousand lawyers down at the City Hall would give him an opinion lor ten cents each he wouldn't have them. The pavement was bad, and that was why objections were mado against it, but it must be fought on grounds of the unconstitutionality of the law, and ho believed that the assessment of one dollar per lot for expenses of the contest should carry the property holders through the litigation successfully. Another gentleman said he wouldn't pull a load over the Bedford avenue pavement for a dollar more per load than ho would charge over the cobble stone pavement. DEFENSE OF THE COMMISSION. Mr.

Johnson, of tho Executive Committee, had no doubt that the Commissioners would faithfully go ird the intereBlB oi the property holders. (Dissenting voices.) in toe beginning scnoies was lor stone, two others for wood and two for Scrimshaw, but one who bad been in favor of stone, joined those who were in laror ot Scrimshaw and carried the uay. Tney then fixed upon Mr. Scholes as managing man, though the pavement was put down in opposition to his will. Mr, Johnson had no doubt that the Commissioners were all honest and would watch the rights of the property noioerB, ana sb the payment was to be maao ty assessments of ten per cent each, thoy had ten years in which to appeal to the law, and no assessment having yet been laid, the property holders were in the hands of THE MAYOR AND CITY FATHERS, to whom they could appeal for protection when the time for assessment should arrive.

Mr. William Davenport thought there was need ior immediate action, because there would be interest to be paid, and if the law was unconstitutional they should not pay oven the first assessment. Mr. Glass thought Mr. Soholes had been pretty strongly defended, and didn't know whether there was necessity for such defense, though there might be by and by.

The City Fathers, he said, would have no discretion in the matter when it came before them, for the law imperative and the property holders must test its validity themselves, or the City Fathers will consider it valid when it comes before them. The course proposed in employing counsel and contesting the matter he thought correct. A loDg desultory consideration of the abilities and fitness of various lawyers followed, and finally the matter was again reforred, for employment of couusel, to the Executive Committee, reconstructed by resignation and appointment so that property holders from all parts of the avenue would be represented. Messrs. Johnson, Glaas, Allen, Wm.

Jeremiah and Wm. Davenport having been constituted the now Executive Committee, the meoting adjourned, subject to the call of tho Chair. BEBLIN AS IT IS. Every one is supposed to know nil about Paris, and those who do not are generally too ashamed of honest iguoranco to confess it. But Berlin is another thing.

Brains and not bonnets are tho perennial product of this capital. A correspondent writes briefly of the city, and from his letter, a citvof the size of New Yoik is perceived: BERLIN. The last census, of I80T, showed (hat the city had 702,437 inhabitants. The development of the city commenced in tbe thirteenth century; before that time it was little more thau a fishing village. In tho middle of that century tbe population was at most 8,000.

At the commencement of the thirty years' war the population waB 12.000; at the end of that period, 0,000. At tbe close of tho groat Elector's reign the number had again increased to 17,000, oi which 5,000 were Frond), At tfeo commencement of the eighteenth contury Berlin, with its suburbs bad 50,000 inhabitants. When Frederick the Great ascended the Prussian throne Berlin had 5,7911 houses, and 00,000 inhabitants (including 21,309 soldiers). The seven years' war reduced the population from over 100, 000 iu 17S5 to 98,000 in 1758. Tho war times from 1800 to 1812 reduced tbe Berlin population from 182,000 in lWi to 145,941 in 1808.

After that period a new life was awakened in Berlin, and the city has since enjoyed uninterrupted growth. From 1703 to 1823. sixiy years, tbe population doubled. The first hundred thousand of the population had cost at least two and a half centuries; the second; eighty years; the third, only sixteen the last figure being reached iu 16C9, the era of railroads. In 1848 the fourth hundred thousand of tbe population bad been added, therefore, in nine years.

The second period of doubling tho population had been reached iu twenty five years. The third doubling period, from four hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand, has not yet been reached, but this number will probably bo recorded before the close of 1870, unless, indeed, tho impending war should prove a check to its prosperity. THE NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION, On Thursday, August 4th, the people of North Carolina will elect an Attorney General, Members of Congress and Members of the Legislature. The State is in a condition so anomalous that it is impossible to guess the result. As far as nominated the following are the Congressional candidates: Dist.

Dem. Repub. 1 Clinton L. Cobb. 2 L.

W. Humphrey. Charles R. Thomas. (Vacancy) Joseph Dixon.

3 Oliver H. Dockery. i Sion H. Rogers. James H.

Harris. (Vacancy) B. Gilliam. Madison Hawkins. 5 James M.

Leach. William L. Scott. 6 Francis E. Shober.

7 Plato Durham. Alexander H. Jones. In the Sixth District Hardu H. Helper, a brother of Hinton R.

Holpcr, is the "reform" candidate. The candidates for Attorney General are William M. Shlpp Democrat, and Samuel F. Phillips. Republican.

The last State election was held in 1808, when Governor Hol den was elected by nearly nine thousand majority in a total vote of lG(i ,000, and all the districts but the Sixth are now represented by Republicans. The largest majority was that of tho First District, which was nearly our thousand. The Third and Fourth Districts were carried by less than two thousand, and the Seventh was almost a tie. The Demoorats expected to carry two of these districts, but Holden declared martial law in sev eral counties, aDd has imported Kirk from Tennessee with negro militia, to arrest the leading Democrats in each district and to run tho election to a "loyal" result. EMANCIPATION DAY.

Celebration by Colored Persons At OTyxtle Avenue Park, Yesterday being the anniversary of the emancipation of slaves in tho West Indies, the colored population of this BDd other places, celebrated the day in their usual magnificent style, but with somewhat less success as a display than in former years, when there were slaves yet unfrecd in the Southern States. Tbe truth of the matter is, that there are two parties on the question of emancipation celebration; one party holding that the proper day to be celebrated by the colored people of thia country is the 3d of January, the anniversary of the isBiiing of the emancipation proclamation by President Lincoln, and the other adhering to tho first of August as the day on which the death blow was struck to African slavery by the emancipation of West India Blaves by the British government. The flr6t of August eelcbraters are the old men of the colored population, and the Becpnd of January eelcbraters tho young men, who believe that Wilbor foree was cast into the shade by Lincoln. This division of opinion has caused a perceptible lessening of the number of colored persons who celebrate the first of August, it never having seemed to occur to them that both days could be celebrated with equal zest. However, there was respectable gathering of colored ladies and gentlemen yesterday, at MYRTLE AVENUE and an array of drosses and jewelry such as have not ornamented that resort for a long time before.

There were dresses white and drosses black, dresses blue and dresses red, dresseB green and dresses purple, dresses yellow, and dresses of all imaginable colors and materials, bedecked with Bashes of equal diversity, and jewels of various values, all encasing female forms or moro or less beauty and grace, all having dark piercing eyes and Mack crispy hair. The gentlemen wer.e dic8Bed as thoir tastes or feelings dictated, in suits of black or white, and wero as gallant as gentlemen or their persuasion always are. There was dancing on the commodious platform of the Park, speech making under tho trees, and eating and drinking In many places. The number of sandwiches disposed of has not been estimated, nor the quantity of light beverage measured, but thero was Bome heavy work done catin? anu drinking line, none, however, taking more than they could conveniently carry. Altogether, the day as spent at the Park was a pleasant one to tho Participants.

If the speakers were deprived K5aSflcaon ol making speeches about tho cruelly ol Southern slave owners, thoy were amply compensated by the opportunity afforded to laud the liberty now possessed by their brethren throughout the length and breadth of the land, and to rejoice in the fact that the American eagle cduld now soar so high that at times It was impossible to distinguish it from a crow. All things considered, the celebratera had a 1 right nice time? The Sights as Described by a. Brooklyn Sight Seer Morning and Afternoon Pastimes TThe Show of Fleet Morses Turnouts of BrooKIynites A $300, 000 It sice Course Tne Prince of Pool Sellers urookiynitc at the JBranch. The following readable letter, from a prominent citizen of Brooklyn, explains, what few people understand, the chances of pool selling: Under date of Saturday, the writer states that "if any pert on is desirous of visiting the warmest of all our watering places, let him step on board of the steamer Plymouth Bock, at tho foot of Murray street, Pier 28, North River, and after a most delightful sail down the Bay, through the Narrows, and thence to the dock at Sandy Hook, and in two hours' timo from leaving the pier at Murray street you will be landed in front of one of the many faBhionablo Hotels at Long Branch, and consider yourself most fortunate if you can secure a place to sleep. The Branch never was more crowded than at present.

Being one of the favored few, I secured a room, by speaking three weeks in advance, at the Metropolitan Hotel, and the weather being cool I had a good night's reBt; and after eating a hearty breakfast, went in quest of the sights of Long Branch. I found that surf bathing was the morning diversion, and I assure you it is quite a sight to Bee the many bathera rolling among tho breakers. The afternoon entertainment consists of taking a drive along the road fronting the many hotels, and thence around the West End Hotel, to tbe beautiful grounds of John Hooy, which makes a very pleasant way of passing an hour. I have never seen roads or drives kept in better order. The costly and footy trotter can be seen any afternoon speeded at the top of his speed along the avenue.

EOESE9 AND BACE TBAOK. There are more trotters and fashionable turnouts than I have ever seen at aDy watering place; four in hands are very common. The one that takeB the rag off tbe bush is tho six in hand of James Fisk, a most elegant turnout, with a white driver and two colored footmen for private turnouts, none attract more attention than those of James B. Craig and Edward J. Lowber, of your city.

John Chamberlain, the noted gambler of New York city, is the originator of the new race track, who has a gambling hell only a stone's throw irom tbe West End Hotel. It is the old race track at Edentowu remodeled and enlarged. The grand stand is commodious, has a frontage of near 400 feet, and will accommodate over 5,000 people. It is located on the westerly side of the track, giving the speotator a splendid view of the track, and of tho country for miles around, and with capacious and elegant retiring rooms for ladies and gentlemen. The track is stated to be a full mile, and has two traight sides, similar to the Saratoga track; but tho stretch os are the widest of anyracotrackin tho country, being eighty feet wide.

It is estimated that the cost of fitting up the track will not como much short of $300,000. Thero is a lively fight between the irrepressible Fisk and John Chamberlain with the Long Branch Race Track and Commodore Vanderbilt and John Morrissoy and the Saratoga Track on the other hand. WHAT 18 A POOL? Those who have visited Saratoga or Long Branch and failed to listen to Dr. Underwood, the prince of pool sellers, have missed seeing one of the institutions of our fashionable watering places. Dr.

Underwood can be seen in the billiard room attached to the Union Hotel at Saratoga, or at West End Hotel, at Long Branch. He is most genial and good natured. 1 have been ofton asked, and by those who constantly attend races, what is the meaning of a pool. The practicable way of finding out is by investing. But I wii( try and explain in my way, to the readers of your valuable paper.

For instance, three are going to start in a race, five horses to be named as follows: Bohannon Lobelia, Oysterman, Morris, and Harry Booth. Now the auctioneer 'will Bell to tho highest bidder tho first choice, that is to select one of the above named five horses to win the race, for instance A will bid $1000 and select to win the race Harry Booth. will bid $500 and select Oysterman to win the raco. will bid $200 and select Lobelia to win will bid $200 and select Morris to win; will bid $25 and select Bobanuon to win, the race having been run and Bohaunor proving the victor, then who paid but $25 for Bohannon wins the pool, to wit: A selected Harry Booth, and paid $1,0,00 selected Oysterman, and paid 0,0 selected Lobelia, and paid 25U selected Morris, and paid 20i) selected Bohannon, and paid So Total $1,975 So you see that who paid but $25 for his share, and selected what was thought to be the worst horse, wins for $25 invested, $1,970. A good investment, don't you think bo THE SELLING.

Strolling last evening into the pool selling room of Dr. Underwood, I found him as busy ns usual, and from the amount of business he was doing no one would suppose that all the boys were broke at Saratoga, which was the case. However, they have been to New York and got a fresh stake. Dr. Underwood stood at tbe table in tho centre of the room, coat aud hat off, a memorandum book and pencil in his baud.

Seated at the table and in front of him with a large money box was Ms partner, Mr. McGowan, and next to Mm Ms clerk, writing out pool curds. Nex', taking notes, sat Joe. Elliott of the Herald, anu seated around tho room some two hundred of the most prominent sporting men of New York, Brooklyn, and the country, to wit Senators Genet and Bradley, John O'Donnell, John Chamberlain, Chas. Ransom, Owen Murphy, Coroner Flyun, Price Mc Grath, Dr.

Kirwin, Jas. Bevins, Mr. McGee. Mr. Kelly, Mr.

Buford, Mr. Pnrzean, Dr. Helmbold, and many others too numerouB to meniion the gentlemen from Brooklyn I omit to mention. Dr. Underwood commences proceedings by informing all present, that all pools bought in at less than $500, the buyer must pay $5, and over $1,000 pay $10, and then he would not look for the percentage.

"I will sell one pool on each race, aud then the buyer can choose what race he bids on after that. Gentlemen, give me a bid, how much am I offered for first choice; Mr. Babcock $500, any advance Voice $500. Dr. Underwood Any advance on $500? Voice $5S0, $000, $650, $700, $800, $900, $950, 1,000.

Underwood commences another pool by Baying, Go on gentlemen, start them again how much for first choice," He sells pools every night lu tho Club Room and on tho raco track every morning before each race commences. He often sells as high as $100,000 on tho races of a day. His commission Is two per cent on tho amount of winnings. So far his profits are heavy and in the end he will have all the money, for no matter what horuc wins he is sure to win. BBOOKLTOTTES HEBE.
