that the lands arc good throughout the

TUESDAY, APRIL 90, 1870.


Rainy weather has for time laid the
dust and rendered it possible to walk
the streets with ones eyes open; but
the most amiable person must allow that
our trials in this regard recently were
very severe. Less than ten days ago the
city was developed in clouds Of whiFltng
dust. 1t caught people in the street anu
filed eyes, ears, mouth and nOstrtls' soiled
their clothes and spoiled their temper, IL
whirled into offices and stores and pow
dered the goods on the shelves, sanded
the sugar in the cellar, covered counters,
desks, papers and books with grit that
was at once disagreeable and damaging
1t penetrated parlors and bedrooms much
to tho annoyance Of tidy housewives and
the discomfort Of everybody. The loath'
some and unhealthy compound Of pulver-
lied stone, powdered coal SCOT and dessi-
Gated street ofFal floated over the city and
penetrated to every corner of every room.
If any one yenturcd to look to tho wind
ward his eyes were filed with dust; If he
opened his mouth 70 complain his throat
was powdered, and il he pursued his 70
cation in QUIET he found himself being
imperceptibIy buried without a coffin OF
benefit of clergy. The same thing will be
repeated in day or two, and at
least once week throughout the season.
Now Is there no balm in GilcAd and no
physician here? Cannot something be
done this summer to mitigate this annoy
ing activity in fertilizers and real estate
The street hose do some good, but they
only make cases in our sandy Sahara.
Something more is needed
lii no credit to our city that some
thorough and efficient plan is not adopted
for sprinAing every principal street in
the city. 1t is one Of the things that
should be done by tho people, for the peo-
ple. Let all be taxed to make all comior'
table.
Itwould be saving Of money for mer.
chants, and it would save great deal Of
dirt which would otherwise be eaten and
wasted. 1t would be measure of moral
economy. 1t would save much profanity
uttered and unuttcrablc. 1t would savo
the cxpcnse'ofn good many funerals dur
ing the hot season, and indeed would gen
orally promote health, comfort and sercni-
ty. This'thing is done in other cities and
why not here? viii not somebody throw
himself into the imminent deadly breach
and set on foot a movement for street
sprinklcrs: Let us be sprinkled. Let us
have our peck of dirt in homeopathic
doses, not all ut once, lest We some day all
find ourselves weighted to the earth and
helpless like Jim Smilcy's frog.
