The correspondent of a New York paper in
Chicago says the latter city is ripe for the
cholera He says the haste to rebuild after the
great fSe and the consequent accumulation of
debris not alone in the slleyways and by-streets,
but IN the principal thOroughfares, has left the
city completely at the mercy of any contag ious
disease that may afiiet the community. The
scayeDgers have failed to do their work even
part, and the Board of Health confines its
operations chiefly to hearing theoretical essays.
In the southwestern portion of the city. which
Is very densely populated, the drainage is 50
wretched that the entire locality was submerged
during the heavy spring rains. The Board of
Public Works, despite urgent petitions from
the residents Of that quarter. has not been
prompt in the execution of its duty, and COM
plants are daily made of foul doors and general
discomfort.

1t isstated as an excellent feature in the con-
cget OF insane ssylums in Belgium that if
patients have any complaints to make they are
at liberty to put them in writing and deposit
them in letter boxes, which are opened weekly
anu their contents examined by the local
authorities. II the latter deem the complaints
or appeals worthy of attention, experts are sent
to examine the patient, and if he has been
wrongfuliy treated or Illegally confined his case
Is attended to a. once. This plan may work
very well, provided the local authorities are the
only persons who unlock the boxes. IL would
hardly be the thing, however, in private Iunatic
asyiumS, where all attempts to secure the release
OF persons wrongfully restrained of their liberty
are generally futile, so long their board bills
are paid by Interested parties outside of the
asyium.

A PERFUMED SpoNoE.-Some weeks ago
a writer appeared iu the argus, signing him
self "B., in advocacy of high school at
Auburn. Most of the article was unintelli-
gible stuff, having no relation to the subject,
or any other subject. We found, however,
in the chaff few lucid sentences that did
give plan, though an impracticable one, for
high school, and feeling deep interest in
the subject, we almost commended the plan
and encouraged "B." to press it and show
its practicabiity by showing how such a
school, supported by public money, could be
kept free from sectarian and political bias.
He suggests to meet these difficulties thus
First, that the Supervisors have CONTROL sec
ond, that the managers be elected by the peo-
ple.a and third that they be elected from differ
ent parties. The frat two would be ''iump-
ing out of the frying pan into the fire." and
the third is an impossibity under our con-
stitution. This "B. evidently feels from the
nasty sponge be throws up in the end. We
do not know who "B." is nor have we
sought to know. He advanced an idea and
we coaxed him to elucidate it, and when he
finds himself in close place he reveals him.

Mr.. EDTroRs: 1T seems to me that the little
jar among Placer county teachers over the spell
ing tests submitted Mt the late institute by Prof.
Allen, is wholly unnecessary True, all the
teachers in the county were not present, and if
they had been there is no possibility now of ever
learning whether the record would have been
better or worse, and why quarrel over split milk?
We attended the institute expecting to learn
something, and in this very spelling 'tourna-
ment, as it is called by some, we did learn
something that we will try to remember. All
know that the greatest scholars aud lexicons of
the age disagree in what is the correct orthogra-
ply in our language. Indeed, the English is
not language, but the enterprsing vigor of
brain and progressive mettle of the people who
speak and write it will make it one and perfect
one, and one, too, that will, | believe and hope
be spoken and written by all the commercial ma
tons of the world. Thousands of new words are
coined and others Englished and engrafted in our
so-called language every decade, and hundred
