GRAND PEACE AND HARVEST FEs-
TlvAL.-The most extensive preparations are
being made for {. Grand Peace Harvest and
Thanksgiving Festival under the auspices of
our German fellow citizens at Richard S
grove, in the lst ward on Saturday next
August 18th. These Festivals are quite COM
mon in many parts of Europe, and are
made occasions for great enjoyment and
pleasure, usually calling together large
crowds ofpeople. This is the first time that
anything of the kind has been attempt
ed in this section of country, and we doubt
not the celebration will be rendered one of
great interest and afford the highest graf
iication to all present. We publish a pro-
gramme of the cercmo MES in another CO
umn of this paper.

to the inhabitants on the line of said
pipes.
1t is also proposed that the present
Waterworks, when taken possession of
by the lessee, shall be estimated at fixed
value of two millions of dollars, and when
they revert back to the city, three arbi-
traitors are to determine the value of inn
provements that have been made by the
company, and these are to be paid for by
the city in its bonds, payable in forty
years, secured by mortgage on said
Waterworks.
The company is to take possession, if
the lease is given by the Council, on the
first day of November next; and the sur
veying, engineering, plans, estimates,
etc, for the extension, are to be COM
menced as soon as practicable, and the
work of construction is to commence on
or before the first day Of April, 1872, and
be completed by the first day of April
1877, under penalty Of forfeiture of the
lease if these terms are not complied with
The companys plan is accompanied with
a schedule of prices they are to be author
lied to collect, in accordance with the
amount of water furnished.
The difference between the two plans
may be readily perceived by giving them
a careful reading, and the one that IS
most advantageous to the city should be
adopted The New Orleans Waterworlis
Company is willing to give rent of one
hundred thousand dollafs year, make
the Improvements thas Are deemed neces-
sary by the Administrator of Waterworks,
and meet the current expenses of the
Waterworks without asking any aid in the
shape of bondS from the city at this time.
1t is true the Improvements are expected
to be raid for, but notuntil after the ex-
pirationyof the twenty-five years lease,
and not then unless the city concludes to
taksg possession of the Waterworks. In
that case the company is to be paid for
its improvements, in city bonds, payable
in forty years from the date of then issu-
ance. In the meantime the city will have
realized two million FIVE hundred thou
sand dollars in rent Tor the use of the
Waterworks, instead of having incurred a
debt of that amount with an accumulat-
ing interest that hast be met semi
annually.

HINT TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.

The Delaronde schoo.house, in Algiers,
enjoys the unenviable distinction of being
the worst edifice in the service of public
education in this city, OF, as we hope and
believe, of any other On the continent.
The buildings consist Of little, old, di-
lapidated hovel, situated ON the line of
the sidewalk, in which three teachers,
with their pupils, averaging about forty
each, are crowded together in the most
perfect discomfort. In this old shell, not
fit for a Stable, are the principal and the
two first assistants. In the rear of this,
across a small yard, twp other teachers,
one of whom has fifty pupils and the other
about that number, wee attempting to
discharge their duties inthe old Jail. The
rooms in which these teachers and their
unfortunate Juvenile victims were incar-
cerated and huddled together are not
more than about twelve by thirteen feet
in area, and remarkably uninviting and
badly adapted to the purpose for which
they are used. ALTHOUGH the Delaronde
school is thus overerowded, we learn chat
at least one hundred children have been
refused admission for want OF room, and
it is probable that the parents of as many
more have declined to send their children
to school in such Place. There is an
obvious remedy for this deplorable condi-
A. oh
Board will not hesitate to apply it
promptly, before the beginning of the
next term.

THE CITY WATERWORKs.

Two plans have recently been submitted
to the City Council in regard to the
Waterworks. One by the Administrator
of Waterworks and Public Buildings, in
the shape of an ordinance to provide for
the extension and perfection of the Water
works; the other by the New Orleans
Waterworks Company, proposing to lease
the Waterworks for term of twenty-five
years and pay yearly the sum of one hun
dred thousand dollars into the city treas
ury for the use Of the same, besides max
ing the improvements contemplated by
the Administrator of Waterworks and Pub
lie Buildings, for which he asks that the
bonds of the city be issued to the amount
of two million five hundred thousand
dollars the bonds to be of such de
nomination as the Council may direct,
and payable ten years from date The
interest on the same is to be at tine rate of
eight per cent per annum. The entire
revenue of the Waterworks are to be set
apart and held pledged for the payment
OF the principal and interest from and
after the issuing of the bonds; and for
the further security of the bond-holders
1.-THE City Waterworks and all improve
ments, acquisitions and extensions
which may be made to the said
waterworks," are pledged for the
final payment of the debt incurred in
extending and perfecting the same. In
addition to this. the ordinance submitted
BY Mr.. Delassize, asking for the issuance
Of city bonds to the amount of two mil
lions i've hundred thousand dollars for
the purposes therein set forth further
stpulates that the city, in consideration
Of the public supply of water for extin-
gAishing fires cleaning streets, etc, will
meet all current expenses Of the Water
works from the general funds Of the
city.
On the other hand, in addition 10 the

A very sensible conclusion was achieved
by the Picqyune yesterday, to the effect that
President Grant neither has the desire
nor the patronage to make himself, en-
peror of these United States. As many of
our Democratic contemporaries have
fretted themselves into a fever of appre-
hension on this point, this conclusion,
thus explicitly stated by the active and
sagacious editor Of the Piodytne, ought to
exercise powerful influence in calming
down the perturbation. 1t will be borne
in mind that the disposition as well as
the power are both exercised by our vigi-
liant contemporary.
