Waste Of Cities.

Science, after long experiment, now
knows that the most fertiliZing and
/ the most effective of manures is that of
night-sOil. The Chinese, we mustsay to
our shame, knew il before US. No Chi
nese peasant, Eckberg tells US, goes to
the city without carrying back, at the
two ends of his bamboo, two buckets
fall of what we call filth. Thanks to
human fertilization, the earth in Chi
ma is still as young as in the days Of
Abraham. Chinese wheat Yields a
hundred and twenty fold. There is
no guano comparable in fertility to
the detritus of a capital. Agreat city
is the most powerful Of st~ercoraries.
To employ the city to enrich the plain
would be a sure success. If our gold
is filth, on the other hand our filth is
gold.
We fit out conveys Of ships, at great
expense, to gather up at the south
pole drOppings Of petrels and pen
gums, and the incalculsble elements
Of wealth which we have under our
own hand, we send to the sea. All
human and animal manure which the
world loses, restored to the land in
stead Of being thrown into the water,
would suffice to nOurish the world.
These heaps of garbage at the cor
ners Of stone blocks, these tumbrils Of
mire iolting through the streets at
night, these hOrrid scavenger's carts,
these fetid streams Of subterranean
slime which the pavement hides from
you, do you know what all this is2 1t
is the Towering meadow, it is the
green grass, it is the InajOram and
thyme and sage, It is game, it is cat
tie, it is the satisfied low OF huge oxen
at evening, it is perfumed hay, il is
golden corn, it is bread On your table,
it is warm blood in you: veins, it is
health, it is joy, it is life.
Statistics show that French alone
make a liquidation of a hundred mill
lions every year into the Atlantic from
the mouths Of her rivers Mark this;
with that hundred millions you might
pay a quarter Of the expense Of the
government. the cleverness Ofman is
such that he prefers 10 throw his hun
dred millions into the gutter. It is
the very substance of the people
which is carried away, here drop by
drop, there it floods, by the wretched
YOmitings of our sewers into the riv-
ers, and the gigantic collection Of our
rivers into the ocean. Each hiccOugb
Of our eloaca costs us a thousand
francs. From these two results: the
land impoverished and the water, in

A Germans View Of tho war.

Our correspondent at Frankfort
sends US a translation of a letter from
Auerbach, the distinguished German
author, to Victor Hugo, in which the
writer says:
We wish that the French nation
live their life as we would live ours.
There viii be no peace, no quiet devel-
Opment fpure human lifein the world
until French arrogance, the guardian
ship over other independent national
individualities, until the swelling out
of hollow phrases-such as you your
self send into the WOrld-are swept
away and have disappeared. Then
will Justice, human kindness and the
industrious rivalry Of nations in the
production of the beautiful and the
good, first take root and their exist
ence be secured.
"Herr Victor Hugol The French
have hitherto refused to admit the
system Of compulsory education.
The higher spirit which determines
the fate Of peoples from their own
natures is now holding Over France
this very system Of compulsory in
s~tructiOn. France must learn to de-
velOp its own existence in selfDerieC-
ton and sincerity, without wishing
10 keep its neighbOr in the leading
strings. She must recognize that
there are other civilized nations be-
sides herself, and that all peoples
taken in their tOtality alone represent
the phenomenon Of the spirit Of hu-
manity.
+" You clothe yourself after the
manner of the prophets of old; but
these ancients cried out to the face Of
their people. No nation falls into
such disgrace and humiliation with
out being itself guilty. To say this
was your duty; that is the way to
make good the past; the way TO please
the French people With itself and
with US. For we do not fail 20 recOg-
nize even now that from the French
people went out, with sacrifices IN
equaled, much that laas been elevat-
ing and emancipating for the human
race. We wished to live In peace with

To you, as author, 'We give an espe-

IT il a beautiful and benehcent ar,
rangement Of Providence, that when
one kind Of food fails, the human
family, with q natural instinct, fall
back on another kind; that where
one pleasure or one resource fails, they

On Jefferson street is an exemplifca-
ton ofthis truth. When not engaged

hero is secreted in the sWamps and

some injury to deieuseless women.

there is nothing in the life OF your

sneak thief in the Tennessee peniten-
tiary would not sc0rn 10 initiate.
Horace Greeley, Of the New York
Tribune, is another complication OF
the benehcent arrangement Of Provi-
dence TO " hich we have referred. He
can feed on almost anything. The
more Ioathsome and puuid the food,
the better suited TO his stomach.
When everything else fails him, such
as FOurierism, cases Of Grim. con-,
scan. mag, savage fights, and scenes
Of debauchery and corruption, he falls
back upon his Haynau, the Tariff
question. The Radicals are divided,
abusing and cursing each other and
Greeley seems 10 think that his old
hobby, the Tariff, B the panaoea to
cure Radical divisions and all the
evils that beset the country; thus

Is the faculty Of truth 10 rise again
when crushed 10 earth, and to survive
through " eternal years.; but it Is
also the faculty Of error to rouse itself
often from overwhelming defeat. This
Is evidenced in the resurrection Of
Greeley's old pet scheme OF Protection
"a scheme which commanded some
strength when our industry was in its
