TIE PENINSULA BRIDGE.

And now, while we are on the SUBJECT
of the sanitary condition of the. city, we
desire to still further call attention t"
another point, deduced from the report
If the health officer. He says that the
bigh hills around Us so closely hug the
city. that it is cramped for room, in con-
saoucncc of which, many houses have to
ho bu;It ON the hillsides, and their Local
finn is such that their necessary rcccp-
,acles for offal, soon fill with water,
and are impossible to he kept clcanly.
Thus great source for producing oil"n-
sive vaults, which must add, materially, 10
the unhealthfulncss Of the city, Is created.
It is clear that, So long as the city re-
mains so cramped up, this nuisance must
increase steadily; it can by no possibility,
decrease.
This is subject Of vital Importance
and interest to the entire community.
1t will not do to say, that there has not
vet been suffered any very great trouble
f.om these things, and so dismiss the
matter. 1t has been seen already that n
scourge is liable to come, and when 1t
does these will furnish food for it to feed
upon, and be powerful aids to its pro-
gress.
The city of Buenos Ayres in South
America, a few years ago, was regarded
70 he one of the healthiest in the world;
vet all the time, it was slumbering over
a cesspool, produced by just such causes
as herein alluded to, and when the
scourge of yellow fever came, it spread
like wild-fire, and decimated the popuIa-
ton.
Now, since this very serious source OF
,rouble does undoubtedly exist, and, aS
the CITY flourishes and grows, must in
crease, it becomes serious question how
It NAV be remedied. Msnifestly, in no
other way than by opening up the back
country, and giving chance to spread
ont This can best be done in one way,
and that is by building the long talked OF
bridge across the creek, and, by this
means, throwing open to the CITY, not
only the peninsula, but ali the country
extending back up the beautiful valley
. towards Elm Grove.
! Already several times, has there been
hown in these columns, other great adj

vantages that would necessarily accrue
from the bridge being completed; but
here is onswhich is suggested as it were,
spontaneously and withoutlany intention
or expectation the hints; being made
use of in this connection.
When the work is done, then, not only
will sites for pleasant, healthy and acces-
sible homes be provided, but the revenue
10 the city by taxation, will be so In
creased that it will more than repay the
outlay required.
The present City Council will proba'
bly, expire without taking any definite
step in this direction, but, We hope, that
the new one will bear in mind all that
has been portrayed in defence of this de-
sired improvement, and will act upon il
speedily and favorably.

The Last Years of Dickens.
New York Times London Letter.

New York Times London Letter.
The third and concluding volume of Mr..
Forster's Life of Dickens has just been
published. Itpresents melancholy picture
of decaying powers, morbid unrest, and
corroding discomfort. It may be doubted
whether Dickens, who is supposed by many
of his readers to have been one of the most
genial and jovial of men, was ever happy
man but it would certainly appear that in
his later years he was supremely wretched.
AS younger man, his animal spirits and
vanity helped to take him out Of himself.
He was satisfied only when he had an
admiring company around him. He was,
in fact, essentially an actor, and miserable
without an audience, and his gayety was
forced and histrionc. There was no repose
about his character. He could never endure
to be simple and plain and natural; he
wanted to be always fireworks. At home
he was seen at his worst, suffering from the
reaction of excitement in company. and
weary with his elaborate efforts to amuse
and startle. Mr.. Forster passes as gently
as he can over the domestic misadventures
of his hero. 1t is not a pleasant page, and
one is glad to turn it. Dickens was always
fond of the hustle and change Of travelling,
and after 1860 his restlessness seems to have
become almost mania. He had notions
of burying himself for a whole six months
in some of the recesses of the Pyrenees, or
of spending q winter in some elevated and
secluded convent in the Alps. His work
had evidently begun to tell on him. His
invention was less fertile, his composition
less spontaneous. It had become an effort
for him to write, and he was haunted by
the fear, which was partly true, that his
prime was over and that he would never
again be what he had been. He had, in
e. -, 1-+ -alae4:>:4
necessarially gives rather q bad tone to this
concluding volume; but Dickens, though he
confessed himself to his friend, was the more
resolute in showing bold face to the world,
and his letters are full of dash and humor.
He went about good deal and used himself
mercilessly. The fit of paralysis which
finally killed him had apparently been
for some years before his death.
The railway accident from which he
narrowly escaped with his life must also
have shaken him more than was suspected
at the time.

Mailing Letters.

There are two facts of great Importance
to business men in connection with postal
business:
/. Ii all business men would use the
"return : stamped envelope, there would
be scarcely u possibility of letters being ac-
cidentally lost or miscarried. If the letter
should be put in without any address at all,
as is frequently the case, it would be imme-
diately returned to the sender, il his card
was printed on it; and such a thing as de-
tention for non-payment would then be ur-
known. The Government envelope is as
cheap as any in the market, of the same
quality, and the card is printed without
additional charge.
Observations OF the lists of unavailable
letters published in number Of leading
cities, and estimates based upon these show
that there are not less than so, 900 a week
Of unmailable letters posted IN the United
States every one Of which would be inn
mediately returned to the writer for sIirec-
tion if the 'sretnrl envelopes were 1lIai-
versally used.
2. If all money sent BY mail were sent
by money order, there would be scarce 4
possibility OF its reaching the wrong per-
son, (if enclosed as IN the first paragraph
