PiiseriHg Servants.

BY the theory of republic the
officers are the servants, not the mas
tiers, of the people. Yet every now
and then the servants get uppish and
put on airs and fancy that they are as
good as their missus.' Now
America, tho s'missus, IS an easy GO
ing lady of the house, and puts up
with great deal of impudence from
her servants. She lets them steal her
tea and sugar for quite while before
she begins to demonstrate with them.
If her servants have come to her,
"witb good character" she is very
10th to believe that they have gone to
the bad But every now and then
Columbia gets reused up and goes
down to the servants room, the laun-
dry and the kitchen, and sets things to
rights. When she means business
her style IS entirely unmistakab','
She got quite angry three years ago
about the credit-mobilier garbage box
and the back~pay pilfer, and she dis
charged pretty nearly the whole lot
of the wicked servants to the great.
Improvement of the "goings or in
the house.
Now she is angry again. Those
servants of the Oldest set, whom she
still trusted. got worse than ever.
Her chief cook, Miss Bayonetta
Ulysses, has been caught wearing her
clothes. Her best state rights petit,
coat had been stolen by the cook ana
dragged through the mud and filth
and tramped on with dirty feet until
it was in a shocking condition. Be
sides this the cock has been keeping
low, 'isreputable company, turning
the kitchen into tap-room and
frolicking with Betsy Schenck, Stat
ternly Shepherd and Nancy Babcock
at times when all decent people
ought to have been in bed. Her
maid Of all work, Sal Chandler, had
been found repeatedly drunk on the
premises, and was using the most
profane and improper language in a
high key that could be heard all over
the house. Maggy Belknap, the
chambermaid, had been stealing her
groceries, and owned up to it at first.
but then denied it, and was backed mp
by all the other servants. In fact. all
of them, more or less, had gotten into
low aud vicious courses. Every
thing was in disorder and filthy dirty,
and the attempts made to hide the
filth with white wash only added to
their Impression of intolerabla untidi-
ness. So Columbia, by this time
very rate, smoke ont to her wicked
servants in language not to be MISS
understood, and ordered them to quit
on short notice. And now these
wicked servants are plotting to mnr'
der he lady of the house and run the
establishment in their own interest.
But America understands very well
their base design, as those wick d

My youthful soul dismayed,
Whilst far behind the rosy clouds
OF happy childhood fade,
Gladly / draw the curtains that trail
From an arch of rainbow hue,
And the new found path, with trembling form
And throbbing heart view.
The cloudless sky of womanhood
D fuses mellow light,
And the pale stars hang like brilliant lamps,
Dazzling my joyous sight,
Luxuriant vines and tempting fruit
Border the golden path,
And siivery ri.ls DER jeweled floor,

And. as stood ahandsorns youth

HEALTH AND DRAINAGE.

Several British scientists who have
made the matter . subject of study,
have published as the result Of their
Investigations that a great deal OF
the typhus and disorders Of children,
in cities, 10 due TO imperfect drain
age. This theory seems to be in ac-
cordance with facts so far a. OBJ
served.
We have heard the assertion made
in view Of the great number OF
deaths, especially of children, that
have occurred in our city the past
year, that Seattle, in proportion to
its siss was the most unhealthy town
on the coast. This we believe is an
exaggeration. Still, it is true that
there has been q much greater NOR
tally Of late than can be explained
consistently with the well known 81
lnbrity Of our climate.
On the above hypothesis, at least,
= part explanation of this eircum-
stance will be apparent to a casual
observer who strolls along almost
any Of our thoroughfares, in the
stagnant oozes that flank the side
walks. The sewerage from kitchens
and stables collects in the obstructed
cutters and there forms cesspoola
that reek in the sun aud exhale poi
SON into the air.
The city charter makes provision
for fund to secure necessary work
and repairs on the streets. These
matters are better attended to on the
country highways where the means
and necessity are less, and conse-
quences not 30 serious.
Considering the sandy and porous
nature Of the soil under our town
site, and the declining grades, the
drainage Of the city is not problem
Of insuperable difficulty. The matter
should receive attention if possible
before the hottest weather comes on
to aggravate the evil. As measure
Of public importance. the cleaning
out Of the strcet-gutters is not Sec
ondary 1T present even to new
water system or improved street
grades. 1
