This report is accompanied by the written opini-
b0s OF all The prjuci al officers Of the post, which
unanimously iudorse the system as the only one that
is applicable to such establishments as that at Fort
Adams. 1t would be easy to multiply certificates Of
the value and pracuCabiIiIy of this system from men
in all stations of life in this country, but 1t is deemed

The latest British official report on the subjects
DIR. Buchanan, a high sanitary authority, was
deputed to make a thorough investigation of the re
suits of the trying experiments to which Mr.. Moules
system had been for some years subjected in England,
with a view to it's adoption by the local sanitary autbo-
rifles, for the cleansing especially Of owns and villa
ges. He goes very carefully over the whole system
and closes with the following;
Summary as TO The advantage of the earth system.-My
inquiry brings me the following results:
/. The earth closet, intelIigently managed, furnish
eg a means of disposing of excrement without nui-
sance, and apparently without detriment to health.
2. In communities the earth-cloSet system re-
quires to be managed by the authorities of the
place, and will pay atIeast the expenses ofits manage
ment.
3. In the poorer class of houses, where supervision
0fany closet arrangements is indispensable, the ad0p-
lion of the earth system offers special advantages.
A. The earth system of excrement removal does
not supersede the necessity for an Independent means
of removing slops, rain water, and saltwater.
S. The limits Of application of the earth system
in the future cannot be stated. In existing towns,
favorably arranged for access to the closets, the

begin to draw on their gloves as soon as
dessert arrives-(what gloves are worn for
at dinner I am at a loss to conceiye) The
hostess, after catching her own eye several
times, at last succeeds in catching some
one else's. The ladies rise in the midst Of
a sentence and stumble from the room
treading on each Others skirts and drag
giug about chairs.
Arrived in the drawingr room there com
mences a regular witches sabbath. There
are only three subjects mentioned when
the ladies are alone and these are driven to
death. In a friendly company these are
the three D's-Domestics, Diseases, and
Dress. Why does not society advertise for
a fourth d? In q more formal ana solemn
party, there is often silence and deep

what may be called the sentimental advantages are
no less striking, if we consider what II is worth to be
exempt from the necessity of padding through mud
and slush and sn0W-banks, in The fall light of day,
TO shiver in an exposed privy at the bottom of a gar
den, or 10 he sufocated by It's foul summer odors.
IN addition to all this, there is no longer a possibility
that the drinking water well will be poisoned by the
teaching of tho contents of a prlVy-VaUlt into the
water-seams by which it is suppIied-a consideration
that bears most strongly against the use of a water
closet discharging into a ~cesSpool in the grounds, as
in the case of nearly all houses that are supplied with
water blu: are not connected with public sewers.
The cost Of these three closets cannot be exactly
stated, but it did not exceed the cost of one good
privy with two compartments, over a stoned vault,
built as is usual in corresponding establishments. After
an experience of four years in the use Of Moule's
earth-closct system, no consideration would induce
me TO exchange it for the most complete application
of the water system that [ have ever seen. IfI were
possible for me TO state more strongly my appreciation
ofit advantages I would gladly do so, for | believe
that in no other way could so much real and lasting
good be done to the people at large as by causing
them TO realize the benefits that lie so easily within
their grasp. Prominence has been given to the above
instance of experience with the earth closet, because
it is the one of which the writer can speak positively:
but other evidence might be cited almost ad infnit4m
to prove that others have been equally well satisfied
with their experiments. Yet the testimony is not
universally favorable for, like all other human devil
ces, the system requires some care in its manage
ment. An earth-closet will not work satisfactory 1n-
less it is supplied with dry earth or some other suita-
bic material, nor will its contents be deodorized nm
less the machinery is operated and made to cover the
deposits. All that is claimed is, that If it receives the
very small amount of attention that any such device
demands, it accomplishes its purpose as perfectly

NOtes from the Field.

Van Gilder's friends were exceedingly
active yesterday trying to whip voters in
on the ground that the contest was party
one. This dodge was tried on one stiff
Rule Democrat who said in reply to the
drill sergeant" Well, what party does
Van Glider belong? / have heard of him
as a rebel, as Union man, as a Grant
man, as Greeley man, as Johnson man
and as a Cheatham man. Now before l
am whipped in, L want to know which
side he is on" He seems to be the only
one disposed to carry politics into the race,
but drowning men catch at straws."
The friends of the ring made dying
struggle yesterday but the result was de-
moralizing. Even the dodge of colored
candidate for Mayor didn't take. L was
universally regarded as sign of weakness.
1t is proposed now as the police spend
their time electioneering for Van Glider
that he be requested to pay their salaries
for the past two weeks.

When the Senate bill went to the House
to-day it could not he moved in lieu of

cation, Mr.. Lindsey being absent withfrhe
House bill. This caused general regret.
The qualification will undoubtedly be re-
pealed tomorrow.
Governor Brown was inaugurated at
noon to-day. His address was different
from what it was two years ago, and was
well expressed. It was moderate in tone,
catholic in spirit, non-partisan i'll charac-
ter and patriotic i'll strain.

Mr.. Forrest always kept in glass case,
was consumed, and he frequently remarked
concerning this work that in case of fire
in his house he would rather anything else
should he consumed than that volume
be harmed. The volume was published in
1923 and was valued at 5000. The fire
did not extend beyond the library and gall
lery, which contained his painting and art
collection. The fire is supposed to have
originated from a defective fiue. The
greater portion of books in his library es-
capped damage, except from heat and
smoke. The loss will be $4,000 - rr.--s~.

4 EOUardIy Act.

Allan McNutt, respectable colored man,
porter at the Atkin House, came in our
office last night late overed with blood
from a wound inflicted with brickbat on
the back of his head. Allen relates the
circumstances as follows: He, in COM
pany with Tom. Prince and Sam. Osborne,
got into a spirited discussion Immediately
after the court house meeting with Bill
Allen on the all-absorbing question of the
day, the municipal election, after which
they dispersed. After some little time Nc
Mutt, in company with the above named
parties, started OH his way to the depot, but
was advised by one of his friends not to go
down the street on the grocery side, as
there might be some danger. This advice
he, however, neglected to take, and the
consequence was, that without the least
warning, he was struck on the back of the
head with a brickbat, lnfiicting ghastly
wound. Bill Allen, the man who inflicted
the cowardly blow, took to his heels and
made his escape without an attempt at his
arrest being made by any of the police
force, three of whom were on the opposite
side of the street. The occurrence took
place on Gay street, between Reservoir and
| Vine =.

Incidents Of the Funeral Ceremonies.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The funeral of the
late eX-EmperOr of France took place at
Chiselhurst this morning. Although 10
O'Clock was the hour designated, when the
procession moved from the residence of
the late Emperor it was thirty minutes
after that time, when the hearSe which
was to convey his remains to the chapel
drew up in front of the grand entrance of
the mansion. The deputation of the Paris
wOrkmen, who were to walk at the head
of the procession arrived at the same time.
They wore immOrtelles in their coats and
carried wreaths of yellow flowers in their
hands. On both sides of the hearse were
the Imperial arms, surmounted by the
letter IN" 4 great crowd, which steadily
increased, surrounded the hearse.
The funeral procession started for the
chapel at ii o'clock and moved in the fol-
lowing order: A man bearing a tri-color
borne on a stick cut at the last moment
before thecortege moved. The deputation
of workmen from Paris, with un-
covered heads, bearing their wreaths
and the chaplain of the family bearing
aloft the golden crucitix, The hearse was
drawn by eight horses, driven by postil-
lions. The mourners, who numbered
eight hundredin all, including the Prince
rome Napoleon, Prince Joachim, Prince
Achille, NJ. Rouher, and many distin-
guished imperialists, English noblemen,
Pors priests, and others. The Prince I'M
perial was very pale and eXhibitd traces o1
anguish he had undergone. Empress Eu.
genie was too i'll to attend the funeral. The
coffin was covered with immortelles and
Violets. There was no funeral sermon al
the chapel but the Bishop at Southwark
sang the requiem mass over the remains
He was assisted by Father Goddard, the
spiritual advisor of the late Emperor, anI
all priests who were chaplains at the Tuil
leries during the reign of Napoleon. Mr.
Lutz, the organist of st. Georges Cathe
dral of London, was present at the chape

riages and pedestrians were drawn VI
three abreast across the roadway, and il
that order proceeded to the chapel The
Prince Imperial and Prince Napoleon re
