- - RICHMOND, June 81, 1873. y.
To The Editors of Dispatch: Will you allow
the use of short space in 5your valuable
columns for the purpose of calling attention
of our efficient Board OF Health to certain
facts in regard to the present, system of our
(so-called) scayengerf, and request them TO-
take some action in regard to the matter for.
the relief OF suffering humanity. The writer,
with others, have reported the filthy c0ndi-
ton OF places on their respective premises for
weeks past, and, as yet, they are int same
filthy condition, and we are powerless as TO
remedy, the ordinance prohibiting us from
employing any other than those regularly
appointed. - g,z ,s r,gsssf s.,ss
Now, Messrs. Editors, we are credltably
Uniformed that one of our scayeDgers bas only
been making his nightly visits 0nceIs week,
and at this time he is{ oyerrun with orders.
With such state Of things the necessary
sanitary precautions cannot be enforced in
this particular during the heated term, and
lit will follow that in certain localities we viii
have to breathe this putrid atmosphere.
Cannot the Board OF Health recommend to
the Council the reenact ctment OF our ordinance
and let us have a sufficient number OF scay.
-Iengers?: Let any man undertake silch work,
after obtaining license and giving se'
Icurity for the faithful performance OF his
duties as to cleanliness, &c. This WotlId
bring about competition snd insure Us that
| we could have such places properly attended

A Guy LIVINGSTONE DUEL-HoRsEwBIPs
TIE WEAPONS. = London letter to the
Graphic. ]-Tbe other day one of our morn
ing papers, taking as its text the recent duel
in Virginia, preached a long and eloquent
sermon upon the barbarity of the Americans,
and their shameful WickednesS in !" "allowing
this relic Of the Dark Ages to remain. as one
Of their customs" But at the very hour
when this homily was being written, a duel
between two English gentlemen was being
fought In Piccadiiiy. Thesetwo young swells
had quarrelled not about lady, but about
bet; a challenge to mortal combat had
been given and accepted difficulty arose
about the weapons to be used the seconds
finally referred the matter to aa arbitrator
no other than the famous author Guy Liv-
ingstone--and he decided that the blood
thirsty combatants should meet in the mid
die of Piccadilly, each armed with horse
whip, and thrash each other until one or
both cried "Hold enough" The duellists
demurred; but the arbitrator declared that
AS they asked for his decision they should
obey It; and that If they did not he should
whip both of them. At this threat they
yielded; and the awftil colfibat commenced
at the appointed time and place. Fast and
thick were the blows; shrill through the air
whstled the keen lashes; dense arose the
dust from the wel-beaten coats. Each man
stood bravely to his work until, at last, as if
by mutual consent, each paused at the same
moment and exclaimed, "Enough p Then
they quietly shook hands, jumped into cabs,
and drove away amid the plaudits of the
crowd. IF you must have duels, don't
know but Guy Liyingstone's plan for them
is the best.
