Newspaper Borrowers.

This wretched class of small pa.
rasites is again hit off by one of on,
exchanges, as follows:
"Of all things contemplate, a
man who will read a paper at his
neighbours expense is the most con-
temptible; especially if that man
esteems it his duty to lower papers
collectively, and the editors gener-
ally. They always meet the carrier
first, snatch the paper, and after
greedily devouring every morsel of
news it contains, throw it aside, say
ing, with a contemptuous curl of the
lip: What trash; it is really fit for
nothing but waste paper And vet
day after day they seem anxious to
gain possession of the paper, and
seem as disappointed at its non-ar-
rival as the good paying subscriber,
who ever welcomes it as a pleasant
visitor. Strange world, this"

GIRLS OPINION OF NEWSPAPERS.

Margary Dean. in one of hs1
spicy letters from Newport, give.
the following piquant discussion be.
tween some young ladies concern.
ing the merits OF certain newspa.
pers:
Sitting on the hotel piazza the
other morning, watching group
OF young ladies, I overheard a curly
headed little maiden who was friz-
zled and panniered and pufed in
the height of style. exclaim, "Oh, I
like the Independent best!" A mo-
ment before I could have sworn
that Ia Petite, never looked at o
newspaper, and somewhat surprised
I took the liberty of listening fur
ther. "The Tribune suits me-" said
her black-eyed companion. 81 take
the Erening Post" chimed in sty-
lish saucy looking girl, who was
pelting somebody over the railing
with pond ilies-a beautiful bunch.
by the way, which five minutes be-
fore l had seen gentleman care
fully selecting for her from little
urchin's basket. And when, I won-
der, do you girls get time to read
newspapers? "Fold them four
double, of course" was the next
sentence I caught, and more pug
zled than before, I very impolitely
walked near the group, when every
thing was made clear to me by the
blonde little one saying, 81 had
rather have a newspapers any day
than the best pannier that was ever
made in Paris" I fell back in nv
seat, uncertain whether to laugh or
to feel provoked with the chatter
boxes, who had strolled off to Law
siege to party of gentlemen just
from the beach.

felt to exist In the transition state
Of our people, in their struggling efforts
to attain that position in the Body
Polite. which We conceive to be their
due, it is regarded that much infor-
nation, guidance, encouragement,
counsel and reproof have been lost, in
consequence of the lack of medium,
through which these deficiencies might
be supplied. We shall strive to make

THE SANITARY WATER-CART,

The ordinary method of waterin.
the streets amounts to little NOR
than temporarily fixing the dust
with perhaps slight cooling effec
due 70 Incorporation. The foul odor'
OF the street are in no way lessened
but, on the contrary, are augment
ed by the presence of the water, az
during our summer heats this sup.
plies the only condition lacking tc
rapid decomposition.
A new method, which is said to
be both cheaper and more effective
than the old, was introduced last
year in the city of London, and
was found to answer SO well that
during the present season it's ap-
plication has been much extended.
1t consists simply in adding to the
water a preparation of salts devised
by a Mr.. Cooper, and made up
chiefly of deliquescent chlorides. A
basket Of this is poured into the
empty tank of the water-cart, after
which the water is introduced. Bv
the time the rank is full the pre-
paration is all dissolved, when the
solution is distributed in the or
dinary way. Besides laying the
dust, this solution destroys all un-
pleasant odors, and is itself quite
odOrless /; and, from the attraction
OF the salts for moisture, evapora-
ton is retarded and the street kept
wet much longer than it can be
where an equal quantity of plain
water is used. The difference in
this respect appears to be very
great, as by actual trial it has been
found that one load of the solution
is equal for street-watering pur-
poses to from three to four loads of
pure water. It thus becomes
cheaper than the common method.
rs the cost of the deodorant pre-
paration is more than compensated
BY the reduced amount of carriage.
II applied to macadamized roads.
t is recommended that its use
'egin a week or two before the
warm period. SO that the road may
become thoroughly impregnated
With the salts. They are then not |
liable to be washed out by heavy |
aims, and are said to form a mate
ial part of the roadway, producing
J hardening and concreting effect,
which preserves the road from
lisintegration and waste.-Galary. |

The Mystery of Edwin
brood Completed.

From the New York Evening Post. ]
The knowing ones" among novel
readers caught a clew to this 'smys
terry" OF the publication of the frs
number, edited by Dickens himself
in the illustrated title-page of tht
cove. "The prominent figure in the
central medallion, brought int
bold relief by the rays of the dark
lantern, must be-" said The experts
Edwin brood" And they thus
settled the question and solved the
mystery at the outset: Edwin brood
as in poetical justice bound, is re.
stored to his second lover, and all
ends happily.
Dickens programme, as he gave
it out, included twelve monthly
parts, of which he lived to complete
six. Somebody in England, whose
name has not yet been announced,
undertook the hazardous task OF
writing the remaining six, and that
task is now ended, the series having
been pubised in Frank Leslie's H.
lustrated Newspaper, the last number
of which contains the last chapter
of the novel. ...i
1t is claimed by the American
publisher that the writer of the
continuation of the story had some
positive information, gathered in
part from Dickens himself and in
part from his surviving friends, as
to Dickens own proposed conduct
Of the plot; and it may be that in
fact the story is told substantially
rs Dickens intended to tell it-that
IS to say, in respect to outline and
general construction. No man would
presume to imply that he could
,ive to a picture began by Dickens
he finish, the touch, the coloring,
md the detail of Dickins' own hand.
The work is now ended, however;
md, for what it processes to be, it
8 admirably done. Indeed, one
an easily suppose that the majority |
# novel-readers, not being apprized
# the fact the book was written BY !
wo persons, would accept the
Vhole as Dickens own, and never
Inspect the joint authorship, for,
'erily, the continuation is no bung-
ing patchwork. It is done with a |
cry expert hand. Many of Dick
MS peculiarities and not q few of
us felicities of expression are per-
ectly initiated. OF course, the
tudents OF Dickens that is, those
'ersons who carefully read and in
lustriously re-read his novels-veryl
eadily perceive the difference be-
ween "the master and the man."
'ut If we cannot have the very best
re must be contented with the merit
est; and thus it is but fair that J,
,e novel-reading public should be- ,
'ngratulated for the continuation

THE DEATH OF THE UNKNOWN,

! (From the Madison Journal
The very cypress droops to death
Dark tree, still sad whom others grief i

The only constant mournsr DER the dead
These lines Of Byron's Giaom
suggested themselves to the write,

Gallagher, in this Parish, a few day.
ago-the only attendants at tht
scene of sepulcher being only fom
persons.
1t is not my intention to speak ol
the deceased while animated with
the spark of life, for I knew him
not; but my endeavor is to try and
illustrate the understandable man.
ner in which the death of the un-
known is generally treated.
The narrow and un-inviting ap-
pearance of the last resting place
OF the dead, is terrible to contem-
plate, even when following to the
grave those who are near and dear
to us; but the terrible contemplation
is seldom forced upon our minds
when the death of the unknown is
announced.
Far off from home and friends
Dead in foreign land;
Beneath the green sod laid,
by only, stranger-hand.
No tear of sympathy falls upon
the mound beneath which lies the
inanimate form of tho unknow; no
mother, brother, or sister there, to
whisper fare,oell; no one who knew
the dead in life-his memory is
cherished for day, and is lost with
the setting of the sun.
You who are surrounded with the
familiar faces of friends; the COM
forts and blessings of home-think
you-of death coming upon you
in a far off and unknown cline; then
give way to the teachings of your
own heart, and drop tear in res
pect to the memory of the stranger
who dies in a strangers land.

by its use. We hope some of our
enterprising Nashville smiths viii

and heartily thanked by every
thinking man in the State Union
