@s- The message of Pennsylvania excel
lent governor, Gen. Geary, makes sensible
and patriotic suggestion. In speaking of the
National Centennial he suggests that the COM
mittce on Federal Relations ask Congress for
an appropriation to defray the expenses of the
National Commissioners. The State of Penn
sylvania is prohibited from subscribing Tor the
stock, but he advises the legislature to make
special donations so as to inspire confidence
and excite emulation in other States to push
the buildings to an early completion. We con-
slider these suggestions eminently wise and
patriotic. 1t is oar desire that at Philadelphia
on July 4th, 1876, the world shall witness such
demonstration Of national greatness and en-
terprise as has ne, CIR been seen before.

..New life in the old land YETI

NOVEL NoTIoN.-The latest enterprise that
has been set in motion for The purpose of erecting
a monument to the memory of Horace Greeley is
one that originated in the Tribune office. 1t is
this. 1t is proposed that the printing Offices of
the country win for themselves immortal honors
by contributing one or more pounds of old type
FOR the purpose of making statue of the Illus
trious editor 10 be erected over the sod where bis
ashes sleep, and that all compositors shall con-
tribute the proceeds of one thousand ems set up
on February Sd, the sixty-second anniversary of
the great mans birth day
The proposition is one that does no dIscredit
to its authors, and compliance with ii cannot en-
tail upOn any one burden heavier than be could
bear. We suppose there is no printing office in
the nation that could not give a pound of old
type, and no compositoF would feel that he was
robbing himself BY the donation of his earnings
for setting thousand ems.
Aside from this, Horace Greeley has erected
his own monument. The New York Tribune
and the heFculean work it has performed in the
cause of human freedom make an imperishable
monument 10 his memoIy.

Letter from the I1th DistrI

Jan. 10Th, 1873. -
MEssRs. EDIroRs :-Quid Name is the promi-
nent thought of every American mind. The
city mind differs from the country in an stln-
wholesome desire for consultation which
usually results in the best manner of how not to
do it. For several years past our desire for
news has been barricaded by columns of stuff
about Jones' Falls.
Last year our nostrils were filled with effluvia
arising from the basin carried to us by the
same means. The Jones' Falls question has
resulted in numberless bummers climbing over
back fences with measuring sticks in their
hands as if looking for hen rOosts Extravagant
bills sent to the city Treasury, the Expenditure
of hundreds of thousands of dollars, enormous
tax bills, general dissatisfaction and disgust,
with insecurity for the Jews and rats of Harri-
son street are the only results yet accomplished.
If an honest countryman had had that work
to do, he would just have found the lowest grade
upon straight line-whch would not have
been difficult-put enough ditch diggers to
work, dig ditch deep and wide enough to have
carried off all the water that came down the
stream, and for the money already spent the
work would have been nearly completed.
II we are to have the papers filled with the
odors arising from the docks all next Summer
why should we not be allowed to suggest a
remedy
That is, abandon the water closet and adopt
Mople's earth closet system So long as the
sewers from all parts Of the city are allowed to
pour all their contents into the basin and then
mingle with the unavoidable accumulations,
the same difficulty will present itself, only in
creasng with the growth of the city and in
creasng the sickness Of those living adjacent
thereto.
Mr.. Moule has demonstrated, and all expert
ments with his system have confirmed the
truth Of his theory, that dry earth not only
renders fecal matter iIodorous but entirely de-
stroys its existence as such. Coal ashes have
the same effect This being true, why should
not the system be brought into general use
There is nothing less easily done.
Have closets so arranged that a receptacle for
all such matter, with the coal ashes or dry earth
mingled Herewith, may be easily removed
Then when necessary for their cleansing the
manufacturers of fertilizers will not only be
glad to get their contents but will be willing
to pay for the privilege. This would not only
utilize the coal ashes, relieve the streets in
many parts of the city of innumerabe boxes
from the pavement but would hush the sig
nifcant rumbling heard at certain hours of the
night and do away with the pestiferous carts
that so annoy those who have been detained
from their homes either by business or pleasure
Our county abounds with hills along the rail-
be dug down, the earth dried and transported
to the city and sold to those who have ex-
hausted their coal ashes. They can then reim-
burse themselves by the sale of the result to the
manufacturers This plan think would par
TALLY purify the basin and improve the health
fitness of the city. AcRIcoLA.

rain and snow, the child had struggled on,
feeling its way in the night along the margin
Of the river, until It grew weak and sick and
fell and died.
There was a choking in Logan's throat as
he lifted the cold little body and carried il
onward down the stream, aud noted the
places where the infant must have climbed
and scrambled in its little battle for life. 1t
was strange two hours to him as he bore
the pure, beautiful, frozen corpse toward the
settlement.
At eleven O'Clock he reached the clearing.
He saw the scattered groups of men gathered
about Johns house and barn. Some of the
men seemed to be searching about the barn
to find the body Of the boy they believed to
be murdered, Logan felt his frame tremble
and his temples throb, realizing as he did
the weight of life and death wrapped in the
burden that he bore. He spoke no word
and made no gesture, but, holding the dead
child in his arms, marched directly past the
barn TO the door yard and up in front of the
house. There he stopped, and stood and
looked With agitated face at the farmhouse
door.
The shock of Logan's sudden coming was
so great that no one said, " The body is
found, " but all the men stopped talking, and
some, pale and agitated, gathered in close
huddle around Logan and looked at the little,
white, frosted face, and in hushed tones asked
where Logan had found the body.
A blanket was brought and spread upon a
dry place in the yard, and Logan laid his
little burden upon it,
John came and approached the spot where
his little Willie was lying. There was a
deeper hush as the crowd made way for the
father; and the rough men, some of whom
we're now crying looked hard at John " to
see how he would take it." John stood and
gazed unmoved and lion-like; not muscle
of his strong face quivered as he saw his
boy. He called in tone of authority for
his family to come, and said to his wife in a
clear, calm voice as she came trembling
weeping, fainting, 4" Mother, look upon your
son."
He turned and surveyed the crowd with
the same dauntless eye he had shown il
making his Homeric speech at the schoo
house. To some of the company that eye
was now dagger.
John was cool, calm and polite. He ut
tered no reproach, and was kind in his word
to all. A halfhour passed The GROVE
went away in groups, discussing the amazing
wonder, " how ever il could he that such
: little Teller as Willie could have got so ia
away from the house "
The next day religious services were held
J and in the afternoon little Willie was laid Il
, rest upon sunny knoll. John wept at tn
grave. A poisoned arrow was drawn iron
the strong mans heart, and u great grie
t was there in its stead
