Strawberries.
From the Providence Journal.


We do not wish to be envious, but it
is rather aggravating, in view of the
ice bound condition of our Northern
shores, and the continuous succession
of cold waves forever rushing into our
boundaries from the Northwest, to read
of strawberries growing in the open air.
The Atlanta Neaos has reused our ire as
we'll as our envy by an announcement in its
columns that the good people Of Augusta,
in the same State. are engaged in the
pleasant pastime of eating strawberries that
have been picked in the open air. A
breath of the balmy breezes playing over
the strawberry beds, and a few beams
of the warm sunshine painting a crimson
glow on the luscious berries, would be un-
commonly acceptable in these frigid days
We wish these Southern papers would
keep such announcements of their priv
leges to themselves, and not tantalize III
with tropical pictures which make the sur
rounding ice and snow put on ten folt
more dreary aspect. When the epoch o
hying machines arrives, and we have seel
some feasible pictures in the Scientif
american OF this form of the locom0tion c
the future, we can migrate like birds, an
eat strawberries with our neighbors of tn
sunny South.

Voted Wrong by Mistake.

Alderman Daily wishes us to state that
he voted for Aid. Carses resolution by
mistake. Two resolutions had been offer
ed, -one by Aid. Yates to designate THE
ARGUS as city printer, and one by Aid.
Carse to designate the Union as city prin-
ter, and AID. Daily says, owing to the con-
fusion, and to the low and indistinct man
ner in which the question was stated by
the Mayor he supposed that Aid. Yates S
resolution was the one before the council.
He regrets very much that he voted under
misapprehension, but the votes of Aid
ermen Butler and Atkinson against AID
erman Carst's resolution rendered the
mistake OF Alderman Daily harmless one.

REMARKS BY THE ARGUS.

We entirely disagree with the writer OF
the above in regard to any attempt to
patch up the water works. 1t is true that
we may not, for some years, have another
winter in which the pipes,a they now are,
would freeze. And it is true that the
figures show that water has cost the peo-
pie of the city, this year, near 5000, over
IN above the receipts for water rent That
is big tax, especially upon property not
benefited by the water> And it is prob
ably true that the works will bring little Of
no revenue next year. Many people hav,
paid in advance for water and have no
received it. They must be settled with il
some way either by furnishing waite
free for the lost time, or by refunding tn
money. Time will also be lost in relayinI
the pipes, and revenue will cease durin
that time also.
But, can the people of this city, afte
selling their steam fire engines, and max
ing arrangements for protection froI
fire by the water works, afford to take tn
risk of a general confagration by leavin
the city at the mercy of frost? We thin
not. We think the council should tax
measures to place all the mains and a
the hydrant pipes six feet under grount
and then if water takers are careless abol
their service pipes it will be their ow
: fault
