world has better surface drainage
than Memphis. The surface water
runs everywhere either into the ba-

An Interesting Beggar Maid.

Every day on the Via Toledo, the
finest and most frequented street in Ma
pies, might have been seen an old
woman, bent under the weight Of
years, clad in Wretched mourning,
creeping past the line Of shops, like q
moving bas-relief, and sometimes halt
ing at 8 corner. She wore q tattered
bonnet on her head, q thick black veil
over her features and pair Of ragged
gloves on her fingers. She never spoke,
she never put out her hand for charity,
but took with q kind Of growl whatever
small coin the passengers might vouch-
safe her. The old woman's gains were
twenty francs per diem; but who was
sheP No one could tell, and she never
answered questions. She seemed q
specter in the throng}o of Vanity Fair
an uncomfortable intruder whom the
butterflies Of fashion were only too glad
to pay and get rid of. The other day
q couple Of municipal guards laid
hands on her, and. bundling her into
q cab, took her off to the Mendicants'
Home. One of the female attendants
stripped her, when suddenly, from the
filthy, fetid envelope of rags emerged,
Cinderella-like, . fusty young woman,
considerably on this side Of thirty,
fresh-colored, fat and prepossessing.
Her makeup was a marvel of effects.
Her curved spine was $ arranged with
cord which passed around her neck
and was fastened at the knee. Her hump
was manufactured from q ball of rags
her wrinkled and dirty white face was
managed with imitation parchment. Or
inquiry, it was found that this young
woman was of good family, and that
the gains she SO cleverly earned were
brought home TO her parents. Rome

Our Washington Letter.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 9Th, 10.
The trial aide Kalb, Miss. of Hen.
ry j. Gully for the murder of Cor.
nelia Chi sholm commenced yester.
day. The Court over ruled the mo.
ton of defendants counsel to quash
the special venire for Is jurors, and
the work of selecting jury began.
-Four jurors were selected yesterday.
1t is general remembered how the
whole country was shocked by the
murder of Chisholm family, and it
is to be hoped that the trials for
those murders will be surrounded
with such popular sentiment as will
override and suppress all prejudice
and political feeling on the part of
court and jury and secure exact jus.
tice. No party and no section can
afford ought else.
Representative Martin of North
Carolina, was one of Hendrick B.
Wright's Committee which went to
the West to inquire into the depres.
sion of labor and business, and the
causes and remedies. His signifi.
cant report is that the depression of
labor and business was not .svery
perceptible any where on the route"
The truth is that the last fcw months
have been the beginning Of great,
and, it is safe to say, permanent re-
vival of business. This is gratifying
to all men except such as have based
their politics upon the idea that re-.
sumption Of specie payments was a
failure and the business of the coun-
try ruined. It is especially crafty.

alone Of all the parties, has steadily
championed the measures which
have made solid prosperity possible.

Eric the Red founded colonies on
both the east and west coasts which
were long fourishing. The interior
Of the country was then icy, but the
coasts afforded excellent pasturage.
In the fourteenth and fifteenth cen.

the colonies that they were unable
to resist the invasions of the natives.
The coasts began also to subside for
a distance OF 600 miles, and are still
sinking. Structures raised within
the last century are even now under
water, while more recent settlements
have been submerged. Huge gla-5

The Ttredo.

Mr.. Page exhibited numerous blocks
Of wood full of holes. He also showed
specimens of the teredo, and gave de-
scription of the tools with which he
performed his labor. His boring APP
paratus, Mr.. Page said, is of triple
character. First and foremost, seeing
that it is projection from the front Of
his steel-like head. is his auger, With
which he makes an entrance into the
piece Of wood in which be proposes to
dwell. Side by side with this is q
gouge, and on the outer surface file.
The teredo can cut in any direction.
He is supplied with double siphon,
with one arm of which he helps him,
self to animacul@ when he is ut work.
and with the other elects his sawdust
through his body into the waters be-
hind him. When he enters the wood
he is almost infinitesimal in length,
breadth and thickness, but after he has
lived for short time among the fibrous
shades that give him home and food,
he has grown to the length of four
inches, and is stout enough to warran,
the supposition that he has Toasted upon
farinaceous food from birth. The
tcredo is particularly troublesome at
the Battery, but much more SO at Ho
5oken, where he has destroyed in six
months the piling of pier that cost
thousands of dollars. Among the
specimens of his headwork exhibited by
Mr.. Page was q block cut from ma
hogany log in the harbor of Aspinwa!l.
The entrance holes made by the little
pest and his fellow borers were hardly
visible to the naked eye, but the per-
forations on the opposite side gave the
block the appearance OF a target that
had been honey-combed by bullets. The
teredo was so destructive to the piling
of the Mobile & New Orleans Railroad
that the company's profits were for
long time eaten up in repairing the
damage done by the worm; and it was
not until creosote oil was used in i'm
ORIGINATING the wood that they were
able to pay q dividend. This creosote
oil, one of the many products of coal
tar. is the only substance known that
will check the teredo. Fresh water,
however, will kill him, and every year
seagOing vessels that have been raided
upon by the worm are taken up the
Hudson, to RondOut and other points,
where, in a few weeks, no trace of the
borers remains except the holes he has
made and the calcareous material with
which he has lined the walls of his
tubular dwelling. Two years ago, Mr..
Page continued, q vessel laden with
marble was wrecked off Fire Island.
Some marine animal, akin, perhaps, to
the teredo, but supplied with more
adamantine implements, attacked the
marble and worked his way through it
as though it was nothing harder than
soft pine. A piece of the marble was
shown. It was completely honey
combed.-N. 2. San.

It removes all eruptions, itching
