London Correspondence. I

Twas at Buxton, in Derbyshire, the
other day; so was Lord Redesdale. His
Lordship is of an inquiring mind. A
builder was at work on new house. The
plan was old. "Where is the back door
of this house to be, my MANI? asked the
Earl. 81 know nothing of no back door;
I build to plans and mind my own busi-
ness" said the workman. This kind of
rebuff is very characteristic of the lower
classes of the English. 1t reminds one of
the Rev. H. Venu Elliot's experience in
Western England. He was being driven
from Bristol to Bath, and, sitting by the
side Of the coachman, was anxious to
draw the whip" into conversation, and
at the same time to increase his local
knowledge. To nearly every question
the coachman answered, 81 don't know"
Exasperated at last, the parson ez-
claimed, "What do you knoww II know
how to drive you from Bristol to Bath"
was the ready reply. A story character
istic of English dining proclivities is just
now current at the military clubs. A
fewfellows determined to give dinner
to brother officer who had just returned
covered with glory" from Znluland.
When the night came and dinner was
served, several men who did not know
the hero whom they had met to honor,
asked which was he. This led to inquiry.
"Where is the CaptainY' "Don't know;
didn't you bring him?' "No; l thought
he would come with you" "Who in
vited him? "Not l." was the general
answer. Everybody thought somebody
else would do that. 1t turned out that
tfe guest of the evening knew nothing
about the festal distinction intended for
him. So his "brother officers" sat down
and enjoyed themselves without him.
Here is another story which is being told
of a Major who has won the Victoria
Cross and yet is one of the most nervous

SALINA, Nov. 4th, 1879.
In few days the voters of Salina
will be called upon to vote bonds to
buy a fire engine for the use Of the city.
In view of that fact we will offer few
suggestions i'm favor of force pump,
instead of the engine. We know but
little of the practical workings of the
fire engine-only it must have place
of central location, will require fuel
and water and team to move it to
where fire may occur. 1t must have
numerous water tanks in every part
of the city, to supply it with water, ac-
companying hose cart, all of which will
be at the cost of the city; must build
cisterns at every practical and neces-
sary points in the city, as it must not
be any respectOr of locality for the
general good. In order to make its
workings practical it cannot dispense
with any of the above; and many
other things may be required for what
we may know. 1 will leave it for an in
telligent public to find out.
We have just learned from Mr..
Shute and others, former residents Of
Chagrin Falls, Ohio, that in the above
named city they use force pump that
supplied the city with an ample supply
of water i'm very simple and cheap
manner. The town is located upon
both sides of a small river ailordIng
mill power; the city was at the eN-
pense of putting in force pump at q
mill centrally located, from which
power was obtained. Four inch iron
pipes were laid from the pump through
all the principal streets in the center,
under ground below freezing point,
and over 60 to 100 feet plugs were put
in, covered with a cast iron lid. In
case of fire, a 3-inch hose attached-a
full force of pump would throw y
stream 80 feet perpendicular.
They also state that in case of fire,
while the main hose was playing upon
the fire, small hose could be attached
to adjacent plugs and made ser
viceable by throwing water and wet
ting other buildings-thus preventing
the spread of the fire. The cost of all
this is paid by the property owners,
except where the lines of pipe are laid
along unOccupied streets or public
parts &c. Owners of property on each
Side OF the street pay Ill pTopoTtiOH ~
the cost-which will cost laid down
about 81 per foot, and then for each I'D
or 100 feet the owners can attach a
small hose that will sprinkle the streets
and buildings any time required, thus
doing away with a street-sprinkling
wagon.
Again by this method every one can
have water to use for lawns, trees, gar
den, fields and sprinklingthe streets at
q comparative small cost, and some
thing that would be reliable. We I'M
stand that Messrs. Underwood 4 Go
will furnish power and work the pump
free of cost, if the city will furnish the
pump, which will cost about SS, 100.
We have made these brief suggestions
for the benefit of the general good and
hope the plan will be adopted rs the
most practical one for the city, and
would refer the public to Mr.. J. J.
Stranahon, Chagrin Falls, Ohio, who
will take pleasure in giving details OF
this system of water works, &c.

lack. CHANDLER DEAD.

The country was startled on Satur-
day last to hear of the death of Hon.
Zachariah Chandler, Of Michigan.
He had been campaigning in Wiscon-
sin, and the night before his death
had addressed an immense audience
at McCormick's Hall in Chicago. He
retired that night, complaining Of in
digestion. The next morning he was
found dead i'm his room. "Old lack"
was one of those "stalwarts" the Re-
publican party can i'll afford to lose in
the halls of national legislature just at
this juncture. He had the fac
ulty of telling the COnfederates just
what he thought of them. He was
brave, bold spoken man, who WAS do
ing yoeman service for the Republic

loss will he deeply felt in the coming
session of Congress, when some of the
old battles are to be fought over again.

the RESULT IN SALINE COUNTY.

Following this article will be
found the returns of the election in
this county. The official canvass of
the vote by the county commissioners,
which takes place tomorrow. may
vary the vote somewhat, but not
enough to change the result on any
candidate. We take this opportunity
to thank our kind friends of the coun-
ty who have taken the trouble to bring
i'm the returns, promptly complying
with our request of last week. BY 10
o'clock yesterday morning we had re-
turns from all the precincts, All I'M
precedented event in the history of our
county elections. 1t will be observed
that the entire ticket nominated at the
Republican County Convention, with
the exception of Mr.. Ed. Nelson, cam
didate for the Office of Register Of
Deeds, is elected. We believe this
victory will result in sOiidifying the
Republicans of the county hereafter,
and make primary elections and con-
rentions more decisive than they have
been i'm the past.
We have not given the votes for DIR.
GROCER. candidate for coroner, and l..
o. Wight. candidate for surveyor, as
they had no opposition and it is fair to
suppose that they received nearly the
entire vote.
