NOTES AND QUERIES.

subject Of water and water-rights. 1t is q
dry subject, IS water-that Is to say utilized
or useful water The heaving waves, the
babbling brook the cleaning cascade, and all
those thiugs are en!ivening and charming and
more or less fascinating; but water for lrrl-
eating is Just plain water, straight, and no
poetry nor perfume and the worst OF 1t IS
that the scarcer it gets the more 1t becomes
hot water and hard water and water on the
brain, 1t seems to us that our contributor,
Mr. Alley, presents an abundance of reasons
why the natural flow from the mountains
should be allowed to run unvexed TO the dry
and parched gardens and fields along the
Warm Springs Road We congratulate our
Young friends-and the old ones too, for that
matter, that we are to have an exhibition
OF his powers by lie Commandeur CaZeneuve,
the illustrous Prestdigitateur, who has been
entertaining our Virginia neighbors so pleas
antly these TWO or three nights past. AS to
who this distinguished performer Is we IN
form ourselves and readers by this following
brief extract from the Commandeur's biogra-
ply His agent, Mr. Zimmerman, has
kindly furnished us with condensed me
NOR Of our hero, and we quote therefrom
BERNARD Marius Cazeneuve was born at
Toulouse on the 18th of October, 1889, and
when a child of but few summers showed
SO wonderful precocity in the art of which
he is now the acknowledged head, and worthy
successor Of the great Robert Houdin, that his
l.,
abandoned the idea they had cherished Of ed
ucating him for the law. All was not sunshine
for the young student in his travels met with
many an obstacle and hardship, which he
only oyercame, in more than one instance, at
most imminent peril TO his life. By the Eu
ropean Press Monsieur Cazeneuye was sur
named the Emperor Of Prestidigitate,ws and
the Prestioigitats,tr of EmPsrors, and pro-
nounced TO be without compeer in his art
The Enterprise speaks in high terms OF this
gentleman Of the diabolic art It will be OBJ
served by reference to the advertisement that
this accomplished illusionist only appears hera
one night-that of next Tuesday The Lit
tie Girls Band don't at all mind the. hot
weather Maybe playing light airs IS good
say to keep cool II We are not reminded OF
it TOO often, perhaps We will write poem
about them one of these days. Possibly some
thing of this sort will be waited from our Tyre:
The little winds from little lungs
Through little threats do pass,
Past little tongues and little AEi,
Ard On, through the brass.
We say maybe will; but genius is erratic and
frful and liable to perversitiea-ao don't tease
us children. =. The Social Evil, SO called,
has again been called to the attention of the
aIity Fathers. The last demonstration claim
ing their attention WAS in the form OF a
petition to have some action taken as should
narrow the boundaries of Frailty and prevent
what seemed in one quarter, quite an alarm
ing tendency to spread. There have been
several Experimental ordinances framed ana
passed, looking 10 the suppression or the
cirenmscribing of the Sisterhood III Carson
These have all proven dead letters, rs all
such legislation always does and always will !
Vice can be suppressed if your community
will NOT tolerate it. Elsewise, orherwlse-
and here and nov II IS a case OF elsewlse, !
decidedly. Under the present ordinance the
files de joie are prohibited from making any !,
such public demonstrations as would prove |
an of1ense i'll the eyes OF good people. This |
is wise and fair, and nobody that wants to be |
half decent in outward delneanor can object |
TO it. There are plenty Of young women |
who are lost to life of what is called virtue
who know how to and do behave themselves |
with modesty Of bearing on the streets and |
in public places, and the presence OF these
in our streets and on railway trains is quite
sufficient to show that a woman Of the town
has no excuse for appearing IN any other gulse
or attitude in public, than that of a we'll
meaning, well behaved, selfrespectful female.
But after all every time this matter comes up |
for discussion the consideration Of the CUES
ton of licensing houses of ill-fame comes |
uppermost Il seems to us to be folly not TO
do it. The percentage of such houses and
the occupants OF such houses is enormous
hardly equalled any where, we imagine. |
ride through that quarter viii disclose to
those unacquainted with the facts much
more extensive resident population Of that
unfortunate class fhan is generally supposed.
And the number Is not diminishing Some
how prostitution begets its like and it's
colonies increase and multiply. Now why
not subiect these women to rigid license
