A Hint to Builders.

EDITOR STAR: In planning d~1tliDgs to be
architects the expedisnc c Of pntting ao saild,
iDRs that can be c0srsHieHtly occupiei by more
than one family. Few or no dwellings are NV
thus arranged. THIS city Is full of Sun I'll FAM
lies-young clerks with perhaps a wife And ons
or tive children, or elderly gentlemen with only
a wife, their children grown up and living else
where: Such families are now com 2elted to
take a much larger house than they want, an1
run the risk of letting parts of it to one or two
other families, or undergo the alternative of
boarding house life, or rent cheap, small
house o mile or two from any OF the depart
ments. In northern cities. particularly In Bos-
ton, within a few years, many "family hotels"
built I'm fats or suites Of rooms, with every ,n-
venience Tor housekeeping, have been erected
lin Boston fourteen to my knowiedge) in suites
Of three, four, or five rooms, each suite having
its exclusive bathroom, &c. with closets, coal
bin, and every continuance that modern inge-
nuity has suggested for tie convenience of
housekeeping. Four more OF these families
are row in the course of erection IN Boston,
two nearly cOmpleted-the "Hotel Dearborn"
and the 'Hotel Dudley''--the other two Just
begun by A. L. Stearns & Sons; the latter
not yet named, will be Zoe by rs feet, of sand
brick, four stories, with four suites of rooms On
each story. They are designed for the thrifty,
middlipg class of persons, OF refined tastes, de-
sIrIng respectable surroundings, but with I'D
crate rents The two hotels, just completed,
are built with brick and sandstone, after the
elegant old English style of architecture. The
apartments are handsomely finished with blac K
walnut. The stairway is of iron, surrounded

prevent water, sound and vermin from extent
ing from ore story TO another. are among th3
details receiving close attention. In the m 4iG
hall IS a hoistway for elsvating furniture. + ,ck
suite having its own entrance, when the DOOR
IL closed the family enjoy as much pri-
vacy As in separate house, with great saving
OF labor and expense, By the absence of stair
ways and eI tries; the expense and vex alton of
servants are saved, with the annoysnces of N ID
derD " servantgalisD." Some of these hotels
are heated throughout by steam; most OF them
have restaurants in the basement, whence
meals can be supplied.
There is no city in the union where such no.
teis are so much wanted as in Washington, with
its thousands of clerks having SIN all families.
Sneb a building would always be filled with the
very first class of tenants in all respectS. L.

The Democratic Executive COMMITTEE
of Laudordale county have published q
call for a convention 90 meet on the
! Second Monday in July for the purpose
of nominating candidate for the legis
lature and appointing delegates to the
congressional and State conventions.
We hope that they will take such steps
in the good county of Lauderdale as will
the polls, but We are firm in our convic>
ton that this convention matter, prepara-
tory to the November election should
be deferred till after the 9th of August.
Referring to the call for the convention
the Ripley Ne1Os has this to say which
is equally applicable to other counties :
The people are responsible for the gov
eminent under which they live. If it is
bad and reeking with corruption, theirs
is the fault, for to them alone is left the
responsibility of choosing their rulers
If we fail to exercise our rights as free
men and good citizens to nominate and
elect honest, wise and pure men to rule
furnish dishonest, corrupt and incompe-
tent officials to frame our laws and ad-
minister our government, we ourselves
are to blame for the evil resulting there's
from. a great many good citizens say
that the government has become so cor
Tupt that they dislike to have anything
to do with politics or even to vote; but
can We reasonably expect to have any
change while we manifest such indifer-
ence and fail to employ the remedy.
Every man has duty to perform and he
owes it to himself his neighbor and to
his country to see that the best men are
put in nomination and elected to fill the
various Offices. No man has a right to
neg lect his duty, and we hope no good
citizen of Lauderdale will desire to do
so. Let our people turn out and make
the action of this convention an express
ion of their will and desire.

TO the Rescue.

Every good man in the State ought
to take lively interest in the present
canvass for the November elections.
There Is a large number of good men in
every community that have taken little
or no interest in politics since the war.
We need their help in the present crisis.
All men, regardless of calling or profess.
lon, are interested in having the State
properly governed and its credit sLs~
tanned. If you are SO occupied with
private business that you can take no
active part in political meetings, you
can at least go to the polls and vote and
encourage others to do likewise. And
II you are so fortunate as to own proper
ty, you ought to be more interested in
having the laws faithfully administered.
1t would be a poor policy indeed to
pray without ceasing" that our coun-
try may prosper and that we may be
blessed with wise and just rulers, and at
the same time take no steps to secure
these blessings by helping to place good
men IN Office and to have wholesome
laws enacted. Besides, 1t is an act of
patriotism to take a personal interest in
selecting our rulers and as such is one
Of the first duties of the citizen.
You need not become blatant dem
agOuge, because you desire to see honest
and capable men in Office and are wills
ing to give your personal efforts to place
them there. We, therefore, ask all, re-
gardless of their distaste for politics in
the past to help the conservatives of
Tennessee to save her from the fate Of I
other States whose citizens by their in,
difference, have brought irreparable
damage to ;sineir best interests. Strike
while it will dc good, and let US make
Tennessee the pride of her own people
and a goodly land for emigrants from
other States less fortunate.
