in point OF defense ON the extreme
northwestern frontier.
There were fifteen offers for gold to-
day, amounting to about 81, 695, 600, at

LerdO's Administration Gives Evidence
Of Prosperity and Peace-The Late
ElectiOns-Railroad Matters
The Border Troubles.

CITY OF MEXICO, October 24.-The
political situation is improving, and it is
thought that the administration of Lerdo
de Tejada will be successful.
The primary elections took place on
the thirteenth instant. Lerdo de Teja-
da's nomination was unOppOsed, and the
result will probably be declared in time
for him to enter upon the regular term
of Office on the first of December.
The Minister of the Interior has sent a
message to Congress urging a concession
to the International railroad, connecting
the capital, Lagos and Mazatlan with
the United States. The recommenda-
ton of the Minister is in the strongest
terms, showing the great interest felt by
the Executive In the buildingof the rail
road. The government grants the COM
pany a subvention Of nine thousand five
hundred dollars for each kilOmeter of
road it shall build, an extra premium OF
one hundred thousand dollars for every
year the road is finished inside of ten
years, and many other advantages.
A commission has been appointed to
investigate affairs on the Rio Grande.
Mazatlan is again in the possession Of
the government PorfiriO DiaZ and Do
natO Guerra are the only rebels Of note
who have not accepted the amnesty.

EARTH CLOSETS.

Our readers are aware that we have
not put forth views very favorable to
this proposed system of disposing of ca
cretG, one Of the grounds taken by Us be
ing that there is no assurance Of the de-
structiOn of morbiferous germs. The
following extract from paper by Major
General II. Y. ID. Scott, considered a
high authority on these subjects, in the
Journal Of the Society Of Arts, it seems
TO US must be conclusive on this head.
-7''The following propositions will not,
/ believe, be eontradietcd now by any
but enthusiasts:
"First-Though there are many eases
i'm which the dry earth and analogous
systems may be usefully employed, such
systems are better adapted to country
than to town life. Nk,ls
"Second-LaFge communities eongre-
gated in cities, and. accustomed to the
convenience and cleanliliess Of wates-
closets, will not abandon the luxury il
they can BY any means retain it. -
tsThird-If te e-rcfetd could be dis
posed of by 5y-sarth system Of disin-
lection, the snimal aud vegetable mat
ter, c. g., cabbage water, the scourings
Of plates and dishes, and all the other
impurities arising from the domestic op-
erations Of daily life, must be removed
by water, and the water so used must be
purified before it is allowed to run into
our streams aud rivers.
"Fourth--For the final publication of
contaminated water, no artificial pro-
cess, whether chemical or mechanical,
can compare with filtration through a
considerable depth of soil, and Of wide
extent, as compared with the water to
be dealt with.
"F'ifth-However valuable sewage
may be to the.farmer ct such times as
he may want Il, II he be obliged to take
it all seasons, he viii prefer being with
out it.
''SiXth-WhetheT sewage is to be util-
lied for purposes Of irrigation, or to be
simply cleansed by filtration, It is ad-
vantageOus to remove the fseeal mat
tiers, either by subsidence, by filtration,
or by precipitation, 6s-by a combination
Of these methods.
"Seventil- Sewage is & comparatively
harmless and inOffensive compound
when fresh, but becomes highly offensive
aud deleterious when il has undergone
putrefaction.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is greatly en-.
/ couraged by the presence in the sewage
water of fsecal matters, and their re
moval is, therefore, an important object

HAVANA, October %. - Correspond

The insurgents under Diaz attacked
the village Of Canoe. The fighting was
severe, but reinforements arrived, aud
the insurgents were compelled to retire.
Six rebels and three Spaniards were

also found that she had wasted upward
of fifty pounds, and entered sums in the
building society book which she never
paid in. Robinson's sisters also began
to talk about the suspicious deaths of the
