A Nuisance which should he ADated.
Health Officer Townshcnd yesterday adj
dressed the following letter TO the Commission
ers. The subject is one with which all are
familiar, and it is TO be hoped early action may
be taken:
GENTLEMEN: would invite your attention to the
urgent necessity for providing some less offensive
means for cleaning sewertraps in the District The
present mode is very defective and has always
been Objectionable The contents Of these traps or
drops" is always offensive in the extreme, espe-
cially those situated at the mouths of populated
alleys, Animal and vegetable matter of all kinds
finds its way into them and not infrcquently
focal matter is found as component of the
rocking mass removed. This material is taken up
by means of shOycls and buckets, dumped on the
surface thence transferred to open carts and drawn
through our streets 10 its place of final deposit 1t
il one of the few remaining relies OF bygone ago
in Washington, and should not be longer tolerated.
These traps are IN many instances, situated under
the windows of our best residences, and the occu
pants have come 10 look with adherence on each
return Of the period for cleaning There Is no rea
son why they should not be cleaned in as inoilen-
siye manner as are privy vaults and earnestly
hope that the serious nuisance which must follow
their cleaning by the present system may be OBJ
Waited by the Introduction of more approved means
ere the approach of another warm season.

music and MeSsrs, Geo r. Root Chicago, have
issued it in sheet form Itisa lively and pleasing com
position and has become quite popular at Grange meet
inss and on festive occasion j
The song sing to you to-day,
Is not to learn trade;
For | am sad the truth to say
That song aside is laid.
The mills are running on half time,
The shops give forth noise,
And it is hard to find dime
Among the prentice boys.
CnoRUs-The song that shall sing TO you,
Your troubled hearts will calm;
If you have nothing else to do
$50 work upon farm"
The stores are filed with idle clerks,
Because the times are dull;
And he his duty plainly shirks,
When shops and mills are full,
Who seeks to learn trade, or tend
The counter of store,
In hopes the future yet will send
fortune to his door.
CpoRus-Ah ! vain are all such hopes as these
That surely end la harm;
Don't seek to sit meath shady trees
'Go work upon q farm"
Oh why should men in cities pine,
Or idly stay in town?
Why loaf about and GROSSLY whine.
That 'things are upside down ?''
Can this bring bread to wife and child,
And make the future bright?
Can this turn the weather mild,
Or furnish heat and light?
CHoRUs-Such men should listen to my song,
And in 1t find charm;
II tells them how to get along
"Go work upon farm"
Let no man starve for want Of bread
The product f the soil
For all can still\ amply fed,
Who will but share the toll
The honest, manly toll that brings
The harvest season round,
When the glad farmer gaily sings,
because Of fruitful ground.
CuoRUs-This, then, shall be the song we sing,
The whole world to alarm,
And loudly make the chorus ring
'Go work upon farm"

GRAPE PREsERvEs.-Pick the grapes from
the stems, pop the pulps from the skins,
doing two at a time, one in each hand,
between the thumb and finger; put the
pulp in a porcelain kettle, and stew
gently until the seeds are loosened; !;
then strain and rub it through a sieve !;
weigh it with the skins, and to every pound
of this allow one pound of granulated
sugar, but do not put it in yet; put the
skins and juice in the kettle, cover closely,
and cook slowly until the skins are tender ;
while still boiling add the sugar and move
the kettle back, as it must not boil again
keep very hot for fifteen minutes, then,
seeing that the sugar is thoroughly dis.
solved, pour the fruit in cans, and screw
down the covers as quickly as possible.
The grapes should be dead ripe, and none
but those with tender skins should be used
in this way. The Isabella is excellent, but
the Concord defes time and patience with
the thickness and toughness of its skin.
There is Fox grape which is preserved
green, and is very beautiful; it is large and
firm, and before boiling it is cut open, and
the seeds are taken out.

recipe is for making mango pickles as well
as cabbage. It is the most delightful
pickle ever ate.-HousehoId.

A COMPOST HEAP.-Each farmers premi-
ses should have receptacle for the refuse
matter accumlating during the summer,
which, if left about the buildings, gets
wasted and pollutes the air. Instead, let
it be put into compost heap in some con-
venient place not too near the dwelling.
