HEALTHY HoUsEs-The following val uable suggestions relating to the construc- tion of suburban houses are from paper read before the Edinburgh Architectural Association; they will apply with equal force in this country. To keep suburban dwellings from contaminating influences, the sub soil upon which the house rests should be thoroughly drained to such a depth as will secure crust of dry soil upon which to erect the structure. The walls below the floor level should be sep arated from those above by ipterposing some substance impervious to water, in order ts prevent that capillary attraction which the walls of the building, when in fluenced by the isternal heat of the rooms exert upon anything which would supply moisture. The external walls of a building should be of such thickness as will allow of house being kept at an even tempera- ture. The walls of gables containing tireplaces require to be made thick, as thin walls, especially at the chimney head, are sure to produce smoky vents. Bedrooms and kitchens should be of the largest dimensions compatible with the size of the house. No drains should be permitted under a dwelling, whatever the straight in which the architect may find himself in their arrangement. As best constructed they are liable to leak, and if under the house the carnations from them become sources of annoyance, and probably of disease to the inmates. Nsr should drains be allowed to pass further into the house than half the thick ness of the cutter wall. Cisterns require to be placed where they can be easily reached and where they will be free from contamination of any kind. The main cistern of building should be located in room exclusively devoted to that pur- pose, in which there should be plenty of light, and into which the occupant could go as freely as into any open part of his dwelling, and where he could observe that such an important element as water was pure and wholesome. There should be no limit set to the number of windows in house, and the position of the rooms in regard to light should guide the archi- 4ho;.

A MOST revolving Instance Of paren-
tai neglect and cruelty was recently
brought to light in Cincinnati. The
Commercial says that man, named
Michael Dessert, has an insane child,
twelve or thirteen years old, whom he
keeps chained like dog in the back
yard. with only filthy cellar for shell
ter. She has become like wild hyena
In her habits, wallowing in filth and
feeding on rats or any putrid thing
that she can get. Now that the case
has been brought to light. 1t is to be
hoped that Cincinnati will see her out
ragged civilization vindicated.

AN IpYL OF THE SEA.

Br ANNA c. srARBrcK.
Far out on sea. an island, lone q. -----.
Whose shores the fumbling breakers bound
Nantucket isle, with placid brow.
Sniles DER the waters OF the sound.
Peaceiul.tho airs above her head:
Peaceful the wavelots az her feet;
While myriad shells, with pearly lips,
This tale OF answered prayer repeat.
sTwasnear hundred years ago
The time, the date. Is past recall
When through the town deadly fear
Crept to the heart OF one and all;
For iust without the harbor bar,
Where mosned the tide with stined oreath,
There lay AT forced anchorage
A British frigate armed with death.
In vain the people planned defense,
To bulwarks walled the Quaker town;
No baitlements. no ancient keep,
No sireugth to beat invaders down.
They saw the captains stern command
To man the boats" and well they knew
No mercy for their hearths and homes
Would harbor with the hostile crew.
But stay. A passing gleam Of hope!
The wind was blowing from the shore;
All safe until the breath should change;
No landing for the boats before
Then from each sad A. d anxious heart,
From hoary sirv TO maiden fair.
There rose. unchecked by form OF words,
An earnest burst OF soobing prayer.
A prayer to Him who rules the wiEds,
And holds the waters In His hand.
To save them In their leland home.
And keep the wind from OF the Land.
And then from Heaven the answer came,
The gale. unchanging. day by day,
Swept out to sea dehantly,
And held the dreaded foe at bay.

Answer to 81. G."

EDITOR CITIzI y Looking over the
columns of your valuable paper OF the
10Th inst, my attention was attracted to
a communication signed 81. C., specu-
latinv upon, or rather asserting posi-
lively who would he the next Sheriff Of
Giles county. BY curiosity was excl
ted TO know what II c. meant. just
at this time a group of half dozen voters
passed by, discussing the same subject.
One of the party, a gentleman from the
country, speaking Nth greet gdFHestneSS,
declared that tae whole thing was IN
tended As n burlesque. 81. G." means
inspected and coudeIaned.7 So the
question was solved. This communities
ton also asserts that the entire south
ern and western portions Of the county
are marching up in solid phalanX,
shouting the ''war cry" johnson for
Sheriff. and that the very echo of this
shout will carry the north and east by
storm. Now, Mr.. Editor, am COM
PEELED to say that Mr.. 81. G." is not pos
ted, and that this war cry and reveTbe-
rating echo exists only in his fertile
Imagination, or that he is attempting to
scare Bob Mitchell from the track.
Ask the noble and gallant commander
who led the Sd Tennessee Regiment
from this county, II this will win, or If
Mitchell il Of the scaFey stock. ] pre-
diet you will hear from the southern
and eastern portions of the county
soon, and perhaps through this very pa
per. Then this imaginary "war cry
and shout o. victory viii be inspected
and condemned, aud the ''eeho' will
change TO his fIEaeral kpeU
OBSERVER.

A Huge Joke.

Col. Forney had a long interview
with the President on the political
situation. He found Grant dis
posed to look upon the nomination
Of Greeley rs n joke, and found that
he did not believe that il endorsed
by the Baltimore Convention he
would stand any chance Of an cleo
ton. Grants idea seemed to be
that in such an event the PhiladeI-
phia nominee would get as many
Democratic votes as Greeley would
Republican votes. Col. Forney re
piled that his EXcelency was mis-.
taken, and insisted that if Greeley
was nominated at Baltimore the en-
tire Democratic party would support
him and the contest be made clese
one. The President said that his
information was quite the reverse,
and that Col. Forncy ought not to
allow himself to be so deceived.

Editor Citizen:-There appeared in
your issue of the 18th inst. a cOmmuni-
cation from one /. C., (ln COrrett,) in
which lie, as J. r. JohnsOn's fugleman,
presumed TO say that all the voters OF
the southern and western portions Of
the county are for the said johnson fer
Sheriff. Now, such is not the truth. He
has s'made inquiry all over the county
and says Johnson is the coming man. :"
In-my opinion where there IS so much
interest manifested as his communica-
ton indicates, exaggeration is a natural
consequence. / feel no particular par
tiality for Mitchell, but do like TO see
fair play, and in anything Of that char
scter would say exit |. c. will not
presume to speak for the county, as did
your correspondent, but / viii say that
Bob Mitchell will get more votes in the
southern portion of the county than
both the other candidates, and in my
opinion will be our next Sheriff. His
friends will not shout any ''war cry
Bob did that four long years.

Greeley may be an Objectionable
man to many Democrats. His life
has been spent in continuous warfare
upon the principles of that party,
and it might look like qualification
90 vote for him or indorse him, but
we think that Times have changed.
and that the people are willing to
take any man and sustain him who
will bring about 4 change ia the
condition Of things, and re establish
the government upon the basis given
by the Fathers of the. Constitution,
or that part of it which has been
left by the Thieves and fools" who
have been placed in position, and
who have done all in their po yer to
pull down the Temple of Constitu-
tioual Liborty. As for ourselves,
we believe that the country will re
deem itself: and, If necessary to do
SO, We shall sustain Horace Gree'ey
