SKETCH OF LIFE IN THE LONDON SEWER.
FROM cHAmBERs's EprSDuHoH JOURNAL.

FROM cHAMBERs's EDINBURGH JOURNAL
rev who walk along the streets of London,
and see mile on mile of carriage-way and foot
pavements stretching out before them, and
branching of on every side, reflect upon the
vast and wonderful scheme of sewerage that
extends underneath. From the remotest dis
trIct of London TO the river, small sewers
flow into larger ones and these again, after
long course and manv windings, into the
Thames. Were map executed of these
subterraneau currents, so intricate yet SO re-
gnlar, like the large veins and arteries Of the

civilization of the capital than even the mag
n6cent streets, filed with the productions of
the world, that extend above ground. Form
ed Of substantial brick-work, well arched and
secure, they represep. sunken capital which
has been yariously estimated at the enormous
sum of from one million TO one half or two
millions sterling. 1T is an interesting sight
when any Of the main sewers are under re-
pair in principal thoroughfare, to see how
deep the excavation is, and how many lines
OF gas and fresh-wa!er pipes have to be ira
versed before the strong current Of foul wa
ter running in its capaclous brick channel is
reached by the workmen Several Of these
main sewers were open streams, meanderDe
through the fields, before London became SC
gigantic as it is now ; and among the number
may be cited the Fleet running from beyond

CHoCTAw COURTsHIPs.- PRIVILEGE OF

Courtships are invariably begun by the f.

what is technically called the frst banter. This
is done by s'yly squeezing the hand. or gently
touching his foot at the camp ire. If a man
should venture upon any Of these little prelimina-
ries. without being of reciprocal partially.
! the indignant maid would Immediately assai

general assault by all the squaws around on tho
presuining lover, who, unless he fed, would be
beaten without mercy. Thus, even i'm this rude

TOME OF COLUMBUS

Being in Havana, in the Spring of 1885,
went to see the spot which contains the mortal
remains of this great These remains are
placed an the aooH of the Cathedral Church of
Havana, on the west side Of the Grand Altar.
Columbus died in Yaadolid, 1906, aged 10
years. In 1913 his remains we're removed TO Sc
vile; in 1886 they were transported to the City
of St. Domingo; and in January. 1896, they
were taken with great pomp by a Spanish squad
ron to Havana, and placed In the Calhedral.-r
The particulars OF This ceremony are related in
full IN the Sd volume Of Irving's Columbus.
Since Mr.. lrving's great Wort; was published;
white marble tablet (about three feet sonare,}
has been set into the wall of the Cathedral, to
designate the spot which contains the relics. On
the table, is medallion likeness of Columbus;
in profile; under it is the following inscription:

lately pleased to call your humble sheet, with an
humble request that you will send a copy to the

ny ELIZA COOK.

ny ELIZA
The banks Of the river were lovely and bright.
AS blossoms and boushs met the summer noon light;
The moss hid the flower, the tree screened the moss
And the willows thick tresscs fell sweeping
The cottaser's homes on the sunnicst side,
Had wild hedges of woodbinc that trailcd in the tide
And the deep bosomcd river rolled mcrrily by,
While its banks with their green beauty gladdcncd tn,
eye.
But time took his way those green banks at last,
And pulled up the flowers and trees as he passed,
He stretched his cold hand-thc white cottage was down
And the hedges were whcrcd by his wutry frown
He trampcd the wood5iue and blottcd all trace
OF the willow ,ssysS t.r t- wgve kissiog grace;
But he touched the rivertkat still might be found
Just the same when beautiful green banks were round
The heart, like that water may quicken and glow
While rare beauty is seen on the farrowless brow;
1t may gaily expand where love twineth bower,
And faithfully picture the branch and the flower.
But time will plough up the forehead so sleek
He will Written the dark hair and shadow the check;
The charms that oncc dazzled will dazzle no more,
But the heart like the water, shines on as before
The tide gushes fast all as fresh and as fair
As 1t did when the alder and lily were there;
The change that has DER the place of its courses
las not lcsscncd its ripple dariencd its source
And the heart that is beating with Nature and Truth,
May outlive some dear images mirrorcd in youth
Some wrecks may be round it, but ecr shall find
Its deep feelings less quick its yearnngs less kind
Oh the green banks may fade, and brown locks turn
grey,
But the stream and the spirit shall CLEAN their way;
or the heart that is warm, and the tide that is free
Glide onward unchanged to Eternity's sea.
