NuIsASCEs.-Th condition of Forests lot in
St. Philip street, opposite the Orphanhouse
is such that the health of the neighborhood re-
quires Immediate attention to be given 1t. The
muddy and slushy yard, covered with filth aud
garbage, seems never to have been cleaned
since the war, and who enters there leaves be-
hind all hope Of emerging without having
been begged in filth over his ankles. The
stencil arising from this place pervades the
whole vicinity, and invites the presence OF
disease as the occupants seem to have no
idea OF cleaning up this place, officials had
better take it in hand at once.
In a lot on Archdale street, next the corner
of Bottle alley, is the carcass OF large New
foundland dog covered with brush. 1t has
been lying there for some time, and the buz-
yards have the whole place to themselves.
This purifying carcass emits stencil far
more powerful than agreeable. 1t is hoped
that it will be removed to-day.
A small sink in the drain in Meeting street
near Market, was dug into, repaired and filed
up yesterday before sunset.

THE W4F WE IRE ROBBED.
A Nice Little Operation in Real Estat'

CHARLESTON, September r.
TO TEE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.
4 short time ago number OF carts were
employed by the city Inspector to haul earth
from President street, near Potters Field.
This street at that point is very wide, and on
either side trere are hills of earth which the
laborers were cutting away. when tho earth
would be loaded in these carts and carried
(it was said) to be used in filling up such
streets as needed the same. AS there were
number of carts employed for about ten days,
1t is reasonable 10 suppose that great guam
lity of earth was carried away for that pur-
pose. But, strange 10 say, very few loads OF
this earth found its way to It's proper destina-
tion. While this work was in progress re-
spectacle colored citizen drew my attention to
the fact that this earth was being carted to
private lots, and being used for filling up the
same. Seeing that l was rather surprised at
this information, be- insisted that should ae-
company him to these lots and see for myself,
which did, and was convinced OF the fact oy
seeing several Of the above carts deposit their
loads in private lots.
Now, / do not wish 10 charge the city in
spector with robbing the city Of this earth, for
Ihave reason to believe that he was Ignorant
OF the rascaity carried on by his employees.
But this is no excuse for him, for at that time
he was in the city, and had he been attending
to the duty he is 80 well paid for BY the city,
perhaps few more loads might have found
their way to their proper destination.
The drivers Of the carts having no one to
overlook them had things their own way, and,
no doubt, we're carrying on profitable busi-
ness on their own private account. The pub
lie can rely on these statements beings facts,
and, if doubted, there are number of respect
able citizens who will come forward sad testi-
fy TO their truthiulness. OcEoI.A.

a NEW ARRIVAL u THE COTTON MARKET
North Atlantic wharf enjoyed novel sensa-
tion yesterday in a genuine snake hunt. Like
his great prototype, who crept into the Gar
den of Eden, the snake evidently came from
somewhere and was decidedly out of his lati-
tude. Those who first noticed him recolected
that 1t was commanded that the head OF the
serpent should be bruised, and they went
for that grass snake manfully. He coiled and
doubled, twisted and struggled, but he was
predestined snake and met his allotted fate.
The body of the defunct reptile was taken In
triumph to one OF the Offices aud the curtain
dropped.

"STRAws SHOW WHICH WAY TIE WIND
BLOWS" out drayman on East Bay was in a
sad state of perplexity yesterday to tell the
points of the compass. His dray was laden
with bundles of stray for the broom factory
at Mount Pleasant. Some of the bundles had
burst and the street was covered with straw.
The situation was embarrassing, and the "En-
glish language unadulterated" hardly equal
for the emergency.

A STABB1Se AFFRAY.-About 10 o'clock yes
terday morning, Mary Wickels, colored, and
her husband, Robert, began to quarrel, at
their residence, in Calhoun street, near Wall.
The quarrel ended in blows, and Robert seized
an axe. The woman, who exhibited cool.
satanic temper, took up pair OF scissors, and
as Robert came up TO her, drove the sharp
point into his left side, a few inches under the
arm. The point of the weapon penetrated a
fraction over an inch, and the wounded man
fell 10 the ground. The services OF a phys
clan were procured at once, and the wound Is
not considered fatal. Attracted BY the out
CRY, a policeman came, and, hearing Of the
circumstances, arrested Mary and took her to
the Guardhouse. Upon her arrival there, she
coolly asserted that she and her husband were
playing, and that she did not intend to stick
him. She was locked up, and will come be-
fore the Mayor this morning.

Any drink which contains alcohol,
even cider, root beer, or domestic

cause the atom of alcohol, by using
the strength of the next minute for

than it would have been had not that
atom of alcohol been taken; this is
the case, because that atom of alcohol
has not one particle of nutriment,
hence cannot supply the system with
one atom Of strength.

ed IL he could account for man s
being brought into existence" HIS
reply was tlut wccould neither ON

In response to another question, II
