part Of the contract with every person ,olo takes
the lVdter.
by the water department.
The 18th prescribes the extra and miscella-
neous 1pdter rents.
The29th directs that the w alter Puryeyor shall
"cause mains TO be laid wherever ordered by
act OF the Corporation" This, however is to
be taken subject to the restriction of the 18th
section already referred to-
tbs therefore quite clear that while by the
act OF I'd March, 1850, very ample power was
given 10 the corporation over the distribu
OF the Potomac or aqueduct water, vet, by the
lust construction of that act, and by the con-
struction put upon it by the corporation, those
powers were so limited that the corporation
could only be reimbursed its expenditures by
water rents, and these were expected to yield
only reasonable per centage on the cost of
the work, the principal to be paid In the course
of ten years by means Of a sinking fund to be
created by these rents.
The act Of Sd March, 1869, was passed to en-
large the powers o. the corporation, not to re-
peal those already given, but to add others.
In the LIST section power is given ssto levy and
collect troter tar on all real property within
the corporate limits which binds on or touches
any avenue, street, or alley In which a main
wafer pipe mas been laid, or hereafter may be
laid by the United States, or by the Corporation
OF washington, may be levied on
lois In Proportion 10 their frontage or their
area, as tne said Corporation may determine"
ipstallments. f' -
This is the power which the CORPORATION has
exercised in the act goth June 1S6i ~
The section then proceeds: And the said
Corporation OF Washington is further author-
ized and empowered, on petition OF the owners
OF the majority Of the real estate on any square
CT line OF SO uares, to lay down water pipes and
erect fire -plugs,i&c., &c.
Here, i presume, lies the only question NJ
doubt, that Is whether the Corporation can, at
their discretion, Law down water pipes, or
whether can they do so except upon the appli.
cation OF the owners of majority OF the real
estate on the street
1t would not be difficult to construct an in
genious agreement based on well settled princi-
pies OF Interpretation Of statutes TO show that
this limitation of the pc wer OF the Corporation
found at the close OF the section authorizing
them to tax the real estate fronting on the
street thus improved, was paramount, and
took away from them, Ii they ever had Ii, the
discretionary power to lay the mains when and
a. they pieaseo; and such was nv own view Of
TINS law wnen 1t was first brou ght to nv notice;
my consloersnon Of it being confined to this
law alone The tallacy of such reasoning is
made apparent by the review of the legislation
OF Congress and Of the Councils which have
just made. And have no doubt on the sub.
gested does not exist.
We recur to the original act which ri vas the
most comprehensive pc wer to be exercised A.

THE DEATH OF MISS PIcKINs HoAx,-A short
time since account of heart-rending scene
at a wedding in Charleston was going the rounds
of the press. 1t was asserted that daughter of
Gov. Pickins was killed by shell from the
blockade feet, at the marriage altar. 1t turns
out that the whole story was hoax. CORE
spondent of the Macon Confederate writes that
paper from Gordon
I" perceive that you were most beautifully
hoaxed in publishing that Yankee lie regarding
the ultimate death scene of Miss Anna Pckens. y
The Confederate says:
" We found the story in question in an ex-
change credited to the Charleston Mercury, a
paper which we do not take, and really had no
other idea than that it was literally true"
The story originally appeared in New York
paper, having been furnished by one of its enter
prising lying correspondents in the feet.-South-
ern Confederacy.
The story appeared in the Register some four
or FIVE years ago Our readers are requested to
withdraw their sympathy from the family of Gov.
Pickens Atlanta Register.

Flowers IN SLEEPING APARTMENrs.-It is very
strange that people should be either deaf or in
credulous in regard to statements which are
made every day, and proved over and over again,
to be based upon solid truths. Since the past
generation were chidren-before that, prob
ably-every magazine or newspaper has repeat
eddy decried the practice of keeping flowers in n
sleeping apartment. Yet people continue, with
an innocent stupidity quite amazing, to have
fower-stands beside their beds, and so nurse pet
geraniums and % darling - monthly at the
expense of their own health and their babies
lives. Flowers breathe, just we do, and, i'm
prisoned in close room, they absorb that por-
ton of the atmosphere necessary to our exist
encc. In few hours the air becomes absolute
ly poisoned, and human beings sleeping in the
apartment must suffer. A beautiful and cee-
brated lady (the Marquis Doria) died. few
weeks since, of a disease brought about solely
by her mania for having flowers constantly in
her room. And many other women have indi-
recty committed suicide in the same manner
Danish your flowers from your bed chambers, as
you would arsenic or prussic acid from your

CALHOUN AND RANDoLPH.-It is related of the
eccentric John Randolph of Roanoke, that be-
ing, as was supposed, upon his death bed, several
persons who had been his enemies called upon
him to offer acts of kindness. Among others of
those was the late John C. Calhoun, who desired
a reconciliation with Randolph before his death,
especially for its political penants. Randolph
received him kindly and accepted his offers Of
sympathy, and freely forgave him for his pre-
vious opposition, and accepted an amicable set
Element of all difficulties. Calhoun was delight
ed with this manifestation of kindness, but what
was his surprise when, on taking leave of the
exhausted and, as he supposed, dying Randolph,
the latter called him back to his bedside with
this exclamation I" Now, Calhoun, remember,
if get well all this goes for nothing p He did
get we'll, and took active part in politics, but
never spoke to Calhoun again during the balance
of his days. 1t did all go for nothing

THE WRoNG MAN PoULTICED.-The following
story, which we DO not remember to have seen
in print, is circulated on Change. 1t may
be old, but it is received as new and true At a
famous watering place, within the memory OF
man, gentleman was severely afflicted with a
pain in the stomach, which neither gin cocktails
nor other cordials could remove. 1t night
and he in bod His loving wife, unwilling
wake the domestics, descended to the kitchen,
and prepared mustard poultice, which she
spread on her own handkerchief, and proceeded
to her distressed lord. Before leaving him she
left light dmly burning in his apartment but
deeply impressed with anxiety, she was not as
careful as she might have been in noticing the
number of her room. Guided by light which
she saw shining in a chamber which she sup
posed was the one she left she entered, and gen.
ty raising the bed-clothes, etc, laid the warm
poultice upon a stomach, but not the stomach of
her lord. {. Halo there What the h are you
about ~ shouted voice of thunder, and the
body and sleeves, whence it issued, sprang out
of bed. The lady screamed and ran Her hus-
band rushed to the rescue from the next room,
the walters joined, and small scene ensued,
much to the amusement of all concerned. The
pouliced gentleman had indiscreetly left a light
in his room, and thus lured the lady from her
path Her husband so amused and excited
by the mistake, that he quite forgot his pains
but early next morning, with his wife and
trunks, left for parts unknown. The poultced
man still retains the handkerchief beautiful
cambric-wth the lady's name on it, which he
considers of rare Naturalization Trareler.
