with the foundation wall, and find pas
sage into the cellar. The most conven-
lent way to sink such a channel is to
make "A sort of hammer of stick of
hard timber. Should the earth be exceed
ingly compact, as the substratum is in
many sections of the country, it may be
necessary to use an old axe for cutting
down the sides of the channel,
after which the middle can be removed
with sharp pick. When the chan
mel is completed, let two or
three pailfuls of water be poured into it
at the highest point; and if it does not
flow readily away into the ditch, let the
channel be sunk deeper in places until
the grade is uniform. Then let drain
tiles two inches in diameter be laid with
much care in the channel, and be covered
with gravel If the drain tiles are thor
oughly burned, and if they are laid as
suggested, the drainage will be complete
as long as the building endures. One or
two poor drain tiles, however, will spoil
an excellent job, as they will disinte grate
and obstruct the watercourse.
After the foundation walls are carried
up above such drain, the excess OF
water in the earth that would come in
contact with the walls, will form direct
passages through the ground to the tiles,
and will quickly pass away without wet
ting the walls. BY this means the earth
around the building will never become
excessively wet, even while protracted
storms prevail; the walls of the cellar
will never become damp nor covered
with mildew, and the cellar bottom will
always be dry.
For the purpose of keeping the water
course of the drain tiles always free from
silt, the waste water from the cistern
when it overflows, should be directed into
the tiles, at the highest point of the
drain. During heavy showers of rain,
the tiles would be thoroughly cleansed of
all silt, several times every year. But it
is difficult to introduce such system of
drainage after a building is erected

cay to Virginia. The evening we may
enjoy, and make alive with fun. Col.

was conceived of in sage brush land.

railroad structure now verging towards
completion, will be ready by that time
with anew smooth floor for the reception
of all the denizens of Carson and Eagle
valleys who wish to trip the light fantas-

whose exact dimensions are one hundred

The old pioneer who does everything in
style says the dance music shall accord
with the dance hall. Young and old,
three cheers for Curry!

The influx of population into Carson
within the last month has been remark
able. We are receiving into our midst,
almost daily, emigrants from California
and the States, and from the outside
world generally. People are coming in
families, also. The increase of numbers
in our roll of public school children
shows it. In fact a difficulty in estab-
fishing the proposed grades has arisen
from the incoming of children from
abroad who have been variously taught.

region of conjecture-rapidly near each

most likely be opened from those guns
with which all efficient ships are now
provided) that are mounted on the bow,
SO AZ to fire ahead. The shots that can
be fired will not be numerous. The
hostile sauadrons will soon be too close
for "bow fire" to be of any further use,
and as they get very near each other,
captains will perhaps not care to have
their views OF the foe impeded by clouds
OF smoke hanging about their ships.
Each vessel, still maintaining its speed
will not improbably look for an oppo-
nent in the enemy's force upon whom

hand, will most likely be preparing 10
do the same, and then between each

which will inevitable be towed along
