Street surimhl;wU.

Mr.. EDIToR,-I was very much pleased on
reading the communication in your paper q
few days ago on the subject of street sprink-
ling, and concur fully in the views expressed
by your correspondent. 1t seems shame that
our beautiful city, so attractive in its summer
garb, should not have its streets we'll watered
We do not by any means intend to censure the
companies who make the contract, but we do
mean to find fault with the system.
There are large number of people fully able
to pay the slight cost incurred by having the
street watered in front of their residences, but
are too mson to do SO. They argue that their
neighbor is sure to pay for his own and theirs
too sooner than not have the street watered.
Now if the city would only pay part Of the
cost, if it was only third, and have the re-
mainder assessed on citizens in proportion to
their means and the amount of space to be
sprinkled ,and see that the sprinkling was thor
oughly done, our city would be perfect Para
disc in the summer months. COMFORT.

HE FIRST DIVORCE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
IL is remarkable fact that the first divorce
ever granted in South Carolina was granted
last week, when two petitions were before a
court in Charleston. Whereupon the Courier
has fair chance for once to treat Yankee civ
ilization ironically. It says:
These are the first cases of divorce that have
ever been granted by law court in this State
To be sure, South Carolina was always bar
barous State, and it must doubtless be gratify-
ing to our Down-East friends to witness this
giant stride which we have taken in the race
of civilization. 1t is reconstruction in its most
practical sense; that is to say, we are rapidly
Eastern ideas.

CASTELAR, DESCRIBED By BRyANT.-The dis
covery of great orator in Spain is one of the
most interesting events of the year. CASTELAR,,
the democratic deputy whose speeches in favor
of religious tole. alton have attracted the at
tention of all Europe, was seen by William
Cullen Bryant twelve years ago, when he was
witnessing at the Univ ersity of Madrid the
ceremony of admitting candidates to the degree
OF Doctor of Philosophy. In letter written
at that time Mr. Bryant said:
After strain of music, young man, sit
ii lg on q front bench on the right side of the
platform, and dressed in the costume of a doc
tor of philosophy, turned his face to the pre-
siding officer and began to speak. "It is Emil

"a years old, and yet he 10 a great advocate"
observed the young man more narrowly; he
had round, youthful face, jet black mus
taches, and bald forehead; he gesticulated
with Spanish vivacity, in yellow kid gloves. I
was not near enough to hear very well what he
said, but his discourse, delivered in earnest,
impressive tones, seemed to take hold of the
audience, for they leaned forward with deep
attention, and at the pauses could hear the
