rae PIPE sEWFR nureArcE.

The people are in q pretty fair way
to get their fill Of pipe sewers before
many years. Another one has broken
down after the Contractors indemnity
bond has expired, and the City Treasury
drawn upon to make repairs. In q
short time we shall hear Of fresh break
ages and tho tax payers at large will foot
the bill. In spite of all the lessons of
the past, new pipe sewers are being laid
over the city and nobody seems to think
of the reckoning day, which not far
ahead promises to make an addition to
our city Bureaus of a department for re-
pairs to Sewers, with power to issue
city bonds to an unlimited extent.
We can safely promise the taxpayers
lively business in this line, which will
be profitable for pipe men and ditch
diggers il it isn't for any one else. If
sewers other than brick are wanted,
why not get something reasonably dur
able such as iron? Pipes Of this mate
rial can be laid in any size cheaper than
bricks and will last for ages. They will
add to all the merits claimed for clay
pipes that most essential-durablity,
and before any more of these absurd
contrivances are laid at public expense,
We hope to see an inquiry male int +,
the feasibility Of substituting them for
half burnt and commonly cracked clay.

James r. Fields, In his new lecture on
Fiction and Its Eminent Authors" has the
following concerning the habits Of novel
writers:
Hawthorne waited for moods, and mounted
his tower stairs for composition only when
the mood was on him; dusky professions
constantly moved about him US he walked
his piny hilltop. but his characters rarely
spoke to him until he had locked his study
door and shut out all cgress from the world
Of living beings. Anthony Trollopc, whose
novels Hawthorne greatly delighted In, writes
new story, given number Of manuscript
pages before IL o'clock, and smiles at the
Idea Of waiting until he 'feels like writing,
as II Is called. Thackeray was constantly
studying character, and his observation was
unccasing. His eyes were alert In the street,
In the club, In society-eyerywher re-
member one evening he whispered TO me, In q
fellows who arc not In my line, and are not
obliged to utilize professionally all the fine
| creatures for your next novel;" Dickens wal
| at one time so taken possession OF by thu
characters Of whom lie was writing that they
| followed him everywhere and would never
let him be alone moment He told me that
when no was writing tho "0ld Curiosity
Shop" the creatures Of his Imagination sc
haunted him that they would neither allow
him to sleep or cat In peace; that Little mol
was constantly at his elbow, no matter whcr,
he might happen to be, claiming his attention
and demanding sympathy, a. II Jealous II b,
spoke to any one else. When he was writing
Martin ChuIzlewit," Mrs. Camp kept hin
in such paro1ysms Of laughter BY whispering
to him In the most lnopportune places, some
4 times even In church, that he was compelle'
TO fight her of by main force when he di,
not want her company, and threaten to hay
nothing more TO do with her unless she coult
behave better and come only whom she wa
called. t..-.

yIudIcatIsr Of the Dean Of Canterbury.
Bishop Cummins has written letter vindi-
eating his own conduct and that OF the Dean
of Canterbury In the matter OF their COM
muuon in Presbyterian churches. He says
~ deny most cmpbatically that the Dean
of Canterbury or myself have violated the
ecclesiastical order Of the Church OF Eng
land. or of the Protestant Episcopal Church
in this country, or have been guilty OF an act
Of Opcn hostility to discipline. There Is
nothing In the ecclesiastical order or u,sci-
piInc Of the Church Of England, or OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church In this country,
forbiddipg such an act Of inter-communion
among Christian people, who are ono In
faith and love, and one In Christ, their great
head, As far as | know, the liberal Eplsco.
palIans of New York rejoice In the action OF
the Dean OF Canterbury, and thank God Tor
IL, When the Episcopal Church OF England
and the United States has been able TO clear
herself (Which may God In his infinite mercy
soon grant) Of the deadly evil OF ritualism,
whose last development Is = revival oil the
confessional, then, and not until then, may
she become haven Of rest TO manned SOUL
who would rejoice to sec her the common
centre and bond Of organic unity to al
Protestant Christians"
