The WATER, Works QUEsTIoN-We are
glad to notice thatthe subject of providing
the city of Columbus with water works is
attracting so much attention, and that all
conditions of men are. in favor of voting
affirm 4tivelyson the proposition On Tues
day, the 11th day of February, our citizens
must decide at the ballot box whether they
willor will not issue the bonds necessary to
carry the enterprise Ito aesuccessful COM
pletion. Freed from all political surround
ings, the question must ct tnd or fall on its
own merits. That 1t will carry we have
not the least shadow Of doubt. aSk III ~,
sScARcE.-Items were fearfully scarce
vest. rday. 1t was matter of impossible
ity for US to get up oHe in the most ordi-
nary way. We offered a.chap.a quarter to
knock another chap down. He wouldn't
doit. Other chap didn't want to be knock
ed down. The ground was.too wet to re- re-
ceive his corpus. He wouldatake his .sdeath
of cold' if he were to get su IN a one on
the smeller as would knock him down
among the slush. And all such excuses
~ re made. We did think our people had
20 ne public spirit about them. We hardly
thought any one OF our citizens would re-
fuse 70 get up an item for us just for fear
of cold or of breaking his neck. But we
are only another example of misplaced
conf ience. 1a9 - -SffTl3 sssFs - iiki1t =

SLopPY.-Yesterdays gave us sample OF
the style of thing justly called sloppy.
The sidewalks were sloppy, the streets were
sloppy, the crossings were sloppy, and the
people were sloppy. The combined iufiu-
ence of the rain of the night before and the
sunshine of yesterday,-were too many for
the snow. About noon the streets present
ed an absence of snow, and presence of
water that made sleigh-riders sick.

Habits are seldom now made longer than
yard and a half for common riding, and
a yard and a quarter for the hunting field.
They should be three yards and twenty
inches wide around the bottom, and well
gored at the top, so as to form one large
plait behind, without any fulness in front
The right side of the skirt ought to be
rather longer than the rest of the habit. !;
