sewer oa.-,. Erect, and Remedy.

The most important question with which the
modern city has TO deal Is that OF sewerage, and
the most important question with which the house
holder has to deal is that Of dectsrous goscs from
the sewers. Health becomes impossible where foul
sewer gases can obtain access to dwelling. And
heat, that most powerful agent Is always at work
within an unventilated scwcr-pipe, ready to force
back mephitic vapon through the slightest crcvce.
The thousand and one fevcs and lesser illnesses
for which We are unable to account may be traced
to this causc-exhalations from the sewers. There
IL no agent so deadly and insidious Even the sense
OF smell does not warn us OF the proximity OF the
danger, for the most active germs Of disease are
concealed within those gases which are devoid OF
odor and may be present with or without unpleas-
ant einations Instead Of being the study of every
one TO inspect these sewers repeatedly and see that
all traps are OF the very best and mtt perfect pat
terms, u i q subject generally regarded with the
most perfect Indifference

as perfect protection against escaping gases has

TO the matter, Mr. Downcy has made It possible for
his trap TO be applied to the present drainage system
of buildings with expense but for the trap. Not
only that but In his new trap the waste water from
the building IL allowed TO pass oil without nterrup

In the new combination the fewer gas Is not

credit for thus pcrfectng his invention before In.

who has any regard for health or convenience will

JUDGE CHRISTIAN AND THE MOFFETT
REGIsTER.-In giving reasons for the
faithful enforcement of the Moffett LID
uor Register, in his charge to the Grand
Jury of the Hastings Court of Rich
mond, Judge Christian said:
"rhe objects of this act, as stated in
its title, are the support of the govern
ment and to pay the interest on the pub
lie debt" 1t is hard to conceive how a
human law could be framed for higher
purposes than these. The burden of a
song of a certain class in Virginia to-day
is that she is groaning under q load of
debt that she cannot pay, and the man
hood, the honor and intelligence of this
people, who have suffered so much for
honor's sake, are insulted by the stigma
of reputation. Gentlemen of the grand
jury, to my mind it is impossible to con-
ceive the injury that this cry has infict-
ed on the State. The payment Of her
public debt is, in my opinion, what it
should be, the price of her future exis.
tence as Commonwealth. A law which
has for its objects, then, the support of
the Government and the paymentof the
interest on her public debt, which has
been recognized by the State time and
again in the most solemn forms, and
which tends to relieve the burden Of
taxation from property and to place it
upon luxuries, most commend itself to
the favorable consideration Of all honest,
right thinking men,"
