THE CITY JAIL.--Judge Guigon and Col
oDr ". +. CutShaw, City Engineer, went
down 10 the city Jail on Saturday, and made
IN examination Of the premises, and found
that the cutting-otf OF the water on last
Tuesday week had nothing in the world to
do with the condition of affairs which cX-
i>ftd there on Friday. 1t was asccrtained
that the culvcrt or sewer had been stopped
M hy the prisoners, and they were rcspon-
>iil for the filth and unhealthy state OF the
PREMISES. Indeed, had the water not been
turned oil every cell would have been partly
flooded with filth. The sinks were chokcd
with old pieces OF blanket, shoes, boots,
hAlrrl->avcS, pieces OF clothing, &c., and
in order to remedy the matter Judge Gui-
@on directed that the culycrt be opened
underneath the cells by cutting down
through the brick and earthwork about
eight irct. and dragging the culvert with
Nnok> and then sluicing it with strong
stream Of water from the fire-piugs. This
was done on Saturday, and the premises are
no doubt hy this time all right again.
To-day the roof over that part OF the jail
which i being enlarged will be taken off in
order to continue the improvements. The
women now confined in the Jail will be
taken to the county jail and kept there fol
the present. The male prisoners will re.
main in their cells.

Grantism Is Dead

Tilden and Hendricks are elected and
the people breathe more freely; their
hopes have revived aud they wear more
smiling faces.
The result was uot unexpected. The
Nation is but Ill aggregate OF indlvld'
uals and the pulse Of the Nation could
BIZ i.lt in every community. The feel
ings and actions of the people in every
locality indicated some weeks ago what
wonld be the probable result. They
knew that a change must be made or
the country would be bankrupt aud the
laboring people OF the land starved for
want OF employment.
In no election for President, has 80
much heartfel interest been shown by
the whole people of the country.
They felt that The election OF Tilden
and Hendricks must be secured, or the
country WAS ruined aud Republican i'll,
s,itutiuns failure.
TO keep the Republican party i'll
lower was only TO perpetuate what
they had suffered for the last niue years,
and they have risen in their might and
demanded reform.

DREAMS.

dreamed that stood in the vaulted aisle,
With one loved fondly by my side,
While the man of God, in d solemn tone
Pronounced TIE fair maiden my welded
bride.
dreamed that together we trod life 5 vale,
And that happiness smiled upon our
way,
Earth seemed an Eden to my weary heart
And life, one long light summers day.
For our hearts were bound with the chains
of love,
And love bound our hearts with gold
Ell rod.
And gladly bowed my humble head.
TO the gentle rule of the little blind
God.
But tue waking came-and with aching
heart,
thought of the JOY ofmy bright, bright
dream,
And the poets words came to me in vivid
light.
AS he said, Things are not what they
SEEM"
And thought of the maiden ofmy dream,
Whom loved with mans devotion
and pride,
And | wept rs knew that my dream
was vain,
For she had stood OF the altar another's
BRIDE.
Another stands where | dreamed | stood,
By the side of her loved tenderly,
He has stolen the joy of my lonely life,
And left all the bitterness and woe to
NE.
Instead Of the happiness of my dream,
Ills even "A sin to love her now,
For she is amother's, another's hand
Has placed the orange-wreath on her
brow,
And must crush out the hopeless love.
Must keep it hidden from mortal view,
name,
Of her loved once, so tender and true.
Owhy we're dreams given to torture the
soul,
And fill it with yearning and vain re-
greet?
For love that is love is always he same
love,
And hearts that are true can never for
get.
