THE WATER SUPPLY.

The committee OF the Common Council
upon the selection of site for the new
Water-wctks have disagreed as 10 the 1oca-
ton. The majority Of the comuitteeagrec
with the Board Of Public Works nud Mr..
Chcsbrough in erecting the new pump in
the southwest part of tie city, while the
minority insist that the proper place is in
the South Division.
The matter onght to'be very ploin one.
The whole city is now supplied by the one
npparatQ6 on Chicago arennc, near the
lake. The force there nsetl sends the wa
ter to all parts Of the South and West Di-
visions. The number Of bindings in the
West Division is now nearly one-half the
whole number in the city, aud the proper
tiop will annually grow larger. The terri
torial area of the West Division is much
larger than one-half the area of the whole
city, md the fntnre increase in the terri
tory Of the city will he in that direction.
To relieve the present Watcr-Warls OF the
supply needed for the West Division will
l'o to leave them capable of Simplifying the
present South and North Divisions for half
century. Bnt to place the additional
/ pumps in the South Division will duplicate
the present supply only, and will be mat
ter Of only temporary relief. To erect tho
new works in the West Division is to es-
tab!ish there, IN the midst Of one-,,alf the
present population, and in territory
which, in ten years, wilt have
a population equal 10 that Of
the whole city at present,
a supply of wafer needed for that locality,
One difficulty at present.is tho long dis:
tanco the water has to be gent One bali

How About Elijah?

A Methodist minister was travelling.
through the west of Illinois twenty
years ago. Illinois was a wild Tlace
then. He travelled twenty miles one
day before coming to farm house.
But there he was received with hos
pitality. Chicken pot-pie and corn
dodgers composed his supper; but to
hungry man these are as good As a
stuffed turkey.
The fine old grandmother of the house
was most profuse in her hospitality
She pressed the pot-pie on the holy
mans plate till he could eat no more.
And then, when the family was gath
cred around the great log chimney and
its blazing fire, the venerable dame
opened her mouth, and then spake:
"Ah, well.a day! it's great comfort
to have a minister Of the Gospel inthese
parts. It's twenty years agone now
since / have seen one of 'em. pve been
readin o. my Bible all that time, and
a waitin' to see minister to AK him Il
question about suthn' ! don't rightly
understand"
"Madam," answered the curious
minister, 81 am so tired with my long
ride that | could not enter intoa serious
question till l have slept; but if you
will ask me tomorrow morning, before
| set out, | will answer it to the best OF
my ability"
The old lady expressed herself salts
| fed, and the canning minister secured 6
soft couch for the night. The next
morning grandma was up early, and
hard at work frying slapjacks for the
minister's breakfast. This last being
despatched, the old lady was still in
a nervous tldget about her question,
while the holy mans horse was saddled
and brought to the door.
After adjusting his saddle bags and
shaking hands with all the family, he
mounted his horse, and turning to hen
asked:
And now, Madam, what is you
question:"
"Waal, minister" said she, eyer
know how it sez in the Bible, that artel
Elijah was made n prophet, the h,aven'
opened and Elijah was taken np t'
heaven in II chariot and horses o. fire
It's better nor twenty year sim | frs

OUR FARM OF TEN ACRES.

WE lived once in the city. We had
Il pretty, convenient house, aud were
thoroughly comfortable, until some
eVil.disposed person lent to our mother
a copy of "Ten Acres Enough" which
gave her an agricultural fever resulting
in determination to sell or rent our
beautiful city home and buy ten-acre
farm in the country.
We argued and entreated. 1t was of
no avail. Go we must; and go we did;
and before the house was furnished at
that.

previously sent Frank out with direc-
tions to "procure servants and have the
house warm and comfortable" But
such eXtravagances as servants were
not to be had in the region where we
were TO settle, for love or money, and so
after day spent in fruitless attempts
on his part to conjure up one, Frank
started for the city, just as we left it.
As matter of course, he carried the
door.key in his pocket, and as mamma
had taken pains that the house should
be burglar.prOof, we could not possibly
gain admittance. We stood upon the
piazza, shivering and shaking like Har-
ry Gill Of old, when our attention was
suddenly attracted to the street, where
we saw most diverting spectacle-a

her by eight or ton yards, with rope
in his hand, one end of which was at
tached to the cows horns. He was
coming toward us ut rapid rate, and
the "sweet creature" in his wake was
tossing her head up and down, and ca
reering at full tilt after him. The man
brought forcibly to mind Artemus
Wards description of the "Gallant ad-
vance of the Federal troops towards
Washington" after the first Bull Run
battle. Man and COW turned in our
yard.
"Oh, mamma! !" expostulated, in
terror, "tell him to take her right out.
What has he brought that dreadful crea-
ture here for?"
But before our mother could speak,
the man announced, "here's yer COW,
ma'am."

one, "as gentle and playful as lamb"

made precipitate rush at him.
