printing CouncIi Proceedings.

Last night Alderman Pettigrew intro
duced a resolution in the Board com
planning that, the Council proceedings
we're published on the outside page OF
the LEDGER, and insisting that they
should be printed on the inside. The
LEDGER took the city printing at the
lowest rates. and no specification is in
the contract as to whether the proceed
ings shall be printed on the inside or
outside of the paper. The proprietor OF
the LEDGER regards every side OF the
paper as prominent-suiiiciently so, at
least to attract public attention, and
will continue to publish them on which
ever side is most convenient. The idea
of editing or making up the forms OF the
LEDGER by aldermanic resolutions is alb
surd, and a violation of the socalled
eleventh commandment The pro-
prietor Of the LEDGER believes that
the proceedings have been printed
in as satisfactory q manner at least, ii
not more so than they have been by any
other official journal. The resolution is
ridiculous in the extreme, for the rea-
son that one member may hereafter de-
sire the proceedings published "editori-
ally" another as "telegraphic new" "
a third may desire to see it in the river
column" while fourth may insist in
Including the proceedings in the Ledger
Lines" When a member makes bum
combe speech or offers a pipe-laying
resolution, he may desire too see it in
the death notices sand when he is
figuring for higher Official position he
might insist that the proceedings be in
cllded in the amusement column"
under the head of Foreign News" or
evan IN the "gapt column" In all
seriousness, it must be insisted on that
the contract shall be lived up to as
made. Had IL been understood or in
sisted on that the General Council
proceedings should monopolize the
places Of editorials OF local news, the
LEDGER would not 4 hve had the city
printing for the rates charged, nor is it
probable that any other city journal
gould depart from this rule on any other
grounds. The proceedings are published
IN he LrbssE With correctness aud ra-
pidjty, and can always ee found on the
fourth page. What more could be de-
sired2 We are certain thst tho Inter
estiuv and entertaiug matter furnished
by the General Council vii always be
sought ont and read by the public gen
orally.

The Matar-Mnrkn.

This forenoon water was turned on by
the Memphis Water Company, and a
test was made by throwing water through
fifty feet of hose and one inch nozzle.
From the hydrant in front Of the LEDGER
Office a stream of water was thrown far
above the Merchants Insurance Com
pany's building, and from the hydrant
on Madison, between Main and Second
streets, another stream wss thrown up
to an immense height. The streams
thrown we're larger in volume and were
propelled with infinitely greater force
than could be produced by our best
steam fire engines. A fire can now be
drowned out without difficulty, con-
slant stream of Wolf river water being
ready, and from an inexhaustible source.
The Water-works are a complete sue
cess, and will result in placing several
of the fire engines out in the suburbs OF
the city. Our citizens can now have
water in their dwellings and stores, while
jets and fountains can, with little ex-
pense, be erected on the grounds sur
rounding private residences aud in the
public squares.

nentn Under a M ASH.

Those who participated in the Mardl-
Gras celebration in this city did not fail
to notice among the masqueraders a
woman dressed as Bacchante or French
Goddess Of Liberty of the Thermidor
DAYS, who rode in an open hack, en-
masque, with one arm, shoulder and
breast bare and with feet extended from
the hack. She was the observed OF all
observers during the Carnival. Next
day she was taken sick, and few days
since died from the effects of the expos
ure, of pneumonia. The unfortunate was
a woman Ct the town, and in attempting
to out-herod Herod," by taking adyan-
tage of the license permitted in carnival
times, sacrificed her life op the alter of
Momus. King Carnival, although he
permits his followers 20 Indulge in the
rrotesque and abandonment OF the hour,
has yet a Nemesis as a courtier who
Furnishes all violations of natural laws
and sanitary regulations.
