Add 10 per cent. for contingencies,

Total cost exclusive of land damages, $Ib2 548
The land damages to be added to either estimate
may be taken at 500 900. 1t is probable that in
dredging the channel, work will be encountered
which is not provided for in either of the above est
mates and which will add greatly to their amount.
Both of the above plans liable from their local.
ity to serious objections and many contingent ex-
penses in maintenance. The principal difficulty and
expense will be the mantaining the channel In front
of The wharves at a sufficient depth.
The situation being at the head of tide water where
the current of james River receives its first check
from the flood tide, is naturally liable to large de-
posts of mud from every freshet in the river any
of its tributaries east of the Blue Ridge. Shockoe
Creek also deposits at its mouth with every shower
large quantities of sand. - q s.
II the above estimates are not vastly too great,
we feel pretty well assured that the Council will
abandon the idea of making the improvement for
the present; though ifthe City were certain of Sc
curing 1900 feet Of additional wharfage. and the an
nual expenditure for clearing the channel were not
too great she would do well to make the improve
nlent even at "A cost OF $460.00 }1 a =.
We give the estimates made by Mr. Walton,
because Mr.. GILL, the City Engineer, has been in
structed to furnish the Council with plan and the
estimated cost ofthe Improvement at his earliest
convenience. When this Is done, we shall com
pare the two. that our readers may decide upon
their respective merits 81

One T. lCottrell having advertised
his wife in the Kosciusko Miss. Sun,
and warned the people not to trust
her. that ''inj ured female" had ad-
dressed the editor Of that paper the
following response:
Who Is REsPoSsfBLE?-Mr. Roy:-
| find in your paper an advertisement
over the signature OF I. Cottrell, FORE
warn ing all persons from selling me
any thing on his account, and that he
does not consider himself responsible
for any debt l may contract.
1t was altogether unnecessary for
Mr.. Cottrell to insert such an adver-
tisement in your paper, for no one who
knows anything about his character
will credit him on his own account. I
shall not degrade myself by replying
tothe scurrilous advertisement of a man
who has for many years been drum
ken inmate of whisky doggery, and
whose reputation. deceney, character,
and credit have left him long since.
but, in conclusion, | will forewarn all
persons from letting Mr.. T. Cottrel
have anything on my account, as /
have heretofore paid his debts and
supported him, and cannot consistent
ly with my own feelings and interest do
SO any more.

In one of Coughs Temperance
Lectures some time ago. he told a laugh
able story of The way in which the fe
males of a certain little seaport town
had routed one the rumsellers. There
was but one in the town, and If il had
been put to vote there would have
been a majority Of six TO one for the
removal Of the groggery. The male
portion had tried little of moral
suasion. that is. they had said nothing
to him on the subject, but rs he was
getting very rich. bowed lower to him
than toothers that were not so we'll off,
and they had tried some legal suasion,
in the shape of a couple of fines oI
SEQ each, which he paid very willing
ly for the benefits he derived from his
traffic. AT last the women took the
matter in hand. and assembled to the
number Of about one hundred and
fifty. They divided themselves into
twelve committees OF twelve each.-
The first day a committee visited him
IN la body, and each Of the twelve gave
him, in turn, a temperance lecture
He was rather taken aback at this, but
thinking he could stand it as long as
they could. he was apparently uncon-
verted. The second day he was WIS.,
tied by a similar committee, who gave
him twelve more lectures. He stood
this too. wondering what was to come
next. The next day third committe.
made its appearance and were com
mencing their arguments, when he in
terrupted them by asking how man,
there were to come yet. In reply h
was told that twelve committees ha'
been formed of twelve women in each
and when he had been visited by tn
twelfth committee in turn, the frs
committee would make second visit
end so on in regular succession
"Well," said the poor rum seller. "yo
needn't go on any further; I'll Civ
up And give up he did; and fror
that day the rum traffic was put an en-
to in the town.
Mr.. Cough said he had been tellin
this story at temperance meet nc. .on
evening, when. a man said to him, 9

nnent that poor rum seller must hav
been in, with one hundred and fift
women lecturing him. | know som,
