Paid for Themselves.

In the discussion of Water Works that
has been going on in this city and Daven
port, not enough importance is attached to
the Holly System As protection to sweep
ing 6res which may in few hours destroy
property enough TO pay for works twice
over. Saratoga, N. Y, recently illustrated
this fact. On the night of the great FIRE in
that place the 6rs broke out in two differ
ent places. There was Q heavy gale of
wind, and, under usual circumstances, the
destruction Of property would almost have
rivAlej the great Portland FIRE. 1t so hap
pened that there was fire Tournaments 10
the city ut the time, and twelve steam FIRE
engines we're 10 attendance, but without
sufficient supply of water these would have
been ineffective to check the flames 10 the
high wind. The Holly Water Works we're
in operation, however, aAd 10 less than ten
minutes had thirty streams Of water ON the
threatened property, and eighteen powerful
streams from the main 6re-plugs upon she
lanes direct, aud the system 10 sddition
| Ipphed the twelve engines with all the
A,sr they eanld use. We learn these facts
rom SaraSosA paper Of recent date. A
3sAetical example like this, where thousand.
pom thousands OF dollars worth of crop
r'y is saved through the fundamentally O.
he Holly sysiew, cannot be Rainsayed.

journeys, and as well for thai polite Atten-
ton to the requirements of the traveller. SO
visible on every train and every mile and q,
eli zines from Chicago to Buffalo. With its
close connections with the Chicago, Rock

routes from Omaha to the East, and ensures
every connection to those ia a hurry
Under the able management of F. Z
Morse, General Western Passenger Agent
Its western business has assumed mamoutl
proportions, obliging the running of thre
express trains daily. On their special New

Rochester and New York city withou

change after leaving Chicago, there are th
splendid Pullman Palace day and nigh

MSHERIFF O'BRIEN."-A good one is told
on this gentleman, who is spending few
days in the city with P. K. Connolly" from
Sangamon county. The sheriff came
across the river the other evening and fell
in with boatman, who was as deaf as Boss
Tweed was mad last night. He entered
into conversation with the boatman, who
treated him, rs be thought, with silent con-
tempt. This was too much for the sheriff.
and no sooner did he touch the shore than
off came his coat, and Mr.. Boatman was
