Sanitary Condition of the <Ity.

Messrs. Editors,-It seems to me that the
Board OF Health will have to make an imme-
diate and urgent demand upon the Council
for means to enable them to keep this city
CLEAN ALL THE SUMNER. Tt is disgraceful
that ia city making such pretensions to
cleanliness as Richmond that the streets and
alleys should be found in the condition in
which they now appear. At least fifty ad-
ditional hands and one or two dozen carts
will be needed for the remainder Of the
summer. Why do the Board delay demand.
ing them? Is it because rain is hoped Tor |!
Why, suppose we do get rain, that VIII be
but temporary relief and cannot do all the
work needed. There are many flats where
the rain will be of very moderate benefit. We
ought to keep Richmond, from this time
until the first OF November, in better condi-
ton than it was ever before.
Now, il the Board need more help-and
that cannot doubt-let them ask for it !!
Let them, as the guardians OF the health OF
the people Of the city, DEMAND it. Let them
invoke the assistance Of our worthy Mayor,
and so move upon the Council as to leave
them no alternative but to procure the mo-
ney (which they should do II they have to
borrow it), or take upon their own shoul-
ders the consequence OF their w2nt OF pru-
derce.
Nearly every city in the country has al-
1ready moved In this matter. Whetner 10

yVhen the f1ooded mines Of the Coms

When the flooded mines OF the Comstock
were relieved by the completion OF the Su-
tro tunnel the inundation OF the shafts was
reduced 100 feet In eight hours. Mr.. Sutro,
when honored with a serenade, made the
longest speech OF his life. "It is almost
fifteen years." said he, /" since first pro-
posed the construction OF deep tunnel
from the Carson Valley to the Comstock
Lode. and almost ten years. ago the first
pick was struck In beginning work which
has been continued since, By day and night,
without interruption, with an expenditure
of S6,00O,000. To-day, for the first time.
the water from the Comstock mines flowed
through the Sutro tunnel, and it gladdcned
all your hearts to see the stream OF
limped water that had caused many Of the
mines on the Comstock Lode TO lie idle for
years in impotent efforts to free them from
it, make its appearance at the tunnel en-.
trance. Some people who had foresight
sufficient knew more than ten years ago that
the day would come when these mines could
be worked no longer; but the great un-
thinking mass, who only live from day to
day, looked upon the undertaking OF pierc.
ing these mountains as one so gigantic and
protracted that they ridiculed the idea, and
gave it but little encouragement. The day
will come when there will be avenues under
these mountains in every direction, with
trains OF cars coming and going through
out the day and night; and when we shall
reach under the top of Mount Davidson at
a depth OF $500 feet beneath its summit,
treasures may be unfolded Of which none
OF us have any conception"

Rumors Of growing GOODNESS between
Russia and Germany aresagan IN the air.
The latest incident upon which stress is laid
is the announcement that CHUNKY, the
French general, has been permitted 10 view
the Russian fortresses and coast defences-
q favor not usually granted to foreigners;
and IN this fact some OF the Berlin papers
see an indirect menace to GermanY--at ali
events, a drawing together OF France and
Russia which irritates German susceptible
tiles. Some OF these journals talk OF Russia
as the culture ally" OF France.
About a thousand Mennonites, who, to
escape military duty inconsistent with their
religious convictions, emigrated from Rus.
sia to Brazil some three years ago, have re-
turned to their former country. Amply pro-
yided with means when they left, they have
lost in Brazil everything they possessed. A
large number is at this woment encam ped
at Wirballen, on the Ru'sso-PruSsian from
tier, having as yet received no permission
to enter the Russian empire.
The French are less sensitive than some
of our people on the subject OF silver coin.

exceeds the gold reserve by more than
0,000,000 tIancs, but no portion OF the

RICHMOND. ,Jf,Iv Of 1879

hlCHAUNU, JEiy 70, 1878. =
Editors Of the Dispatch: Perceiving an
article IN your paper OF the 24th instant in
relation to Shockoe creek, and feeling no
little interest in the prosperity OF our city,
and especially the bealth and happiness oil
our citizens, it is deemed proper and expe.
d1ent to submit few uegestions Of aeDrac.
tical character, which should be we'll COZ
sidered. This obnoxious and filthy outlet,
Shockoe creek GBfested with the germs of
disease), which penetrases nearly the CEN
trail portion OF the business part Of our city,
should have received the attention OF the
proper authorities long since, not only on
account OF Its very disagreeable and, at
times, almost intolerable efiuyia being diff
FUSED IN certain sections of its locality, but
something should be done Is preventive,
in protecting the health and comfort OF the
citizens against the contaminating infiu-
ence OF the eXbalations emanating from
this creek.
/ Now. is it not possible that this evil can
be remedied by arching this creek over
which expedient would at least afford some
protection TO the health and comfort of
many citizens, and especially in case Of an
epidemic it certainly would prove a great
benefit; whereas. in the present open con-
ditlon, 1t cannot be other than potent fac
tor In developing disease and furnishing
material for other maladies Of more horrid
character to feed upon. BY arching over
this creek property in this section Of the
city would be enhanced in value, and the
city would, Of course, derive larger reve-
nue.. The expense that would be in
Cured by the city in perfecting this
work is trivial in comparison with
the effect OF an epidemic upon the COM
merce OF our city, saying nothing about the
lives Of citizens. This matter should be
seriously considered and attended to as
early as practicable. Messrs. Editors, I
know that it has been asserted by many
that it is impossible for such an epidemic as
yellow-fever to exist in Richmond (God
grant that it may never). This opinion or
theory has been exploded. Last years epi-
demic OF yellow-fever in the South has de-
monstrated the fact that under Favorable
circumstances it can exist anywhere. The
infectious germ OF yellow.fever needs only
the proper material to feed upon, and then
it will spread like fire in the dry grass OF a
prairie. It therefore behooves us to EN-.
ploy every possible means TO prevent this
terrible monster OF death, as we'll as other
plaques, from finding indus in the limits
of our beautiful city or in any portion oi
our State. SHoCKOE CREEK.

Sometimes we feel inclined to pick flaws
in the women folks, but on second thoughts
are made to wonder that they are as good
as we find them. Supposing customs were
reversed, and Instead OF cOurtlng the guis
the girls were to court US? Supposins a
sweet creature in bows and ribbons and
poetical drapery and stepbenotis should
come to see you two or three times week,
and should discourse by the hour on the
soul-light OF your eye, the Jove-like gran
deur Of your brow, the inefable glory OF
your moustache, ETC., ETC., don't you think
you would develop into iackanapes in
less than six months, even il you were
far removed from one at the start? Fact is,
we men think nothing of telling girl over
and over again how much pretticf and
sweeter and better every way she IS than
all her sisters; and is it unnatural that she
should be goose enough to believe it after q
time? Who doesn't like to hear his own
praises sung? But after marriage these
sugar coated lies return to plague the man
that compounded them. He has taught bis
wife to believe that he can see nothing good
in her sex outside of herself. And she
never forgets her lesson. as many a married
wight could testify. But don't blame her,
friend. She is only showing her abiding
faith in your lover-vows. The trouble re-
sides in you. You have ceased lying to her.

Mr.. Cohen demonstrated, remarking
'tThats my baby's watch, and then It's SO
marked that you wouldn't know what to
do With It." So the watch was returned.
An order for the mail-bags was next given,
aud the driver was commanded to throw
the bags down. He tossed all the bags of
except the way-bag, and informed the rob
bers that he had done 30. !" What's the way
bag /" inquired one OF the fellows, who
was by this time busily engaged slic-
ing those to pieces which had. been
thrown to him. He was told what q way
bag meant, when that, too, was demanded.
The bags were cut open and the valuable
packages selected and laid 10 pile by them
selves, when the men signifled that they
were through withtheir work. The driver
would be permitted to replace Jhe letters in
the bag and proceed on his way. They told
him yes, and he began to pick up the letters.
But in doing go be reached out too far, got
his fingers on the packages the robbers had
laid aside, when one OF them ordered him,
In an angry voice,.to :. let them pack
ages alone"; that be wanted that
part of the mail. But few words
passed after this, and the letters were
soon all replaced In the bags, when the
bighwaymen pocketed their booty, one Of
them circulating, "Pard, let's go!' and
they took to the brush again, holding their
reyoIvers on the victimized until they were
out OF sight. The stage thereupon drove
on. This is the first time the Easle-Pass
stage has been robbed since Joe Horner and
companion took the coach about two years
ago. Who the men were neither the driver
nor either Of the passengers knew. They
were evidently green at the business, iudg-
ing from the carelessness OF their manage
ment, and could easily have been resisted
and killed had the passengers been prepared
and disposed TO run the risk. 1t is thought,
however, that they had accomplces hidden
in the brush hard by prepared for the emer-
gency Of a resistance.

ONE OF THEIR VICTIMS TELLING HOW HE Wal
ROBBED.

~-~~~~~"'~
ROBBED.
[san Antonio Express.I
Yesterday afternoon the E1preSS received
a telegram from Uvalde that the east-bound
STAG e-coach on the San Antonio and Eagle
Pass line had been stopped by two high
waymen near Turkey creek and robbed,
and after the coach had reached the city
last evening our reporter met one
of the victims, Mr.. j. Il. Giles, from
whom he obtained detailed account OF
the robbery. 1t was Just after dark, and
the coach moved slowly over the rugged
chalk hills short distance beyond Turkey
creek, when suddenly a man on foot
emerged from the dense growth OF scrubby
bushes by the wayside, and, leYelling re-
yolyer on the driver, ordered him to halt.
There were ut the time but two passengers
in the coach, Mr.. Giles and an old gentle
man by the name OF Cohen. The driver
appeared not to heed the command to halt
given by the knight OF the road, and al"
lowed his horses TO walk on. But the rob-
Der backed, still holding his revolver on the
driver, and again cried aloud and meaning
ly, &C. Halt, or Tll shoot you!" Ihe driver,
known to the boys along the line as
@Long Tom" thereupon reined up,
replyine to the robbers command,
"Don't shoot at me, for Pye got nothing
to hurt you WITH" AS soon as the horses
were stopped the man seized the, relns
from the ground, and at the same time a
second robber appeared at the door OF the
stage, and asked, How, many passengers
are there In .here?" The driver replied
there were two; when the mounted ROD
Der remarked, 8 Get out, then, and hold
up your hRnds!W Mr.. Giles states that
his command was -obeyed without any
special reluctance, though himself and Mr..
Cohen stepped out upon the opposite side
to where the robber sto1d. Both men
had money with them, but managed TO
hide it Just before the mounted rob-
Der showed himself. All were then march

Chicago ingenuity seems to have devised
very simple and effectual method Of pre-
venting elevator accidents. The bottom OF
the elevator passage is made an air-tank, and
so arranged that falling elevator-cab COM
presses the air, gently but completely ar
resting the violence OF the fall. At trial
made with the Chamber of Commerce ele-
vator, 5000 pounds OF pig-iron being placed
on the floor OF the cab, which weighs two
tons, the eggs and glass globes placed on
the floor with the ircnwere unDroken. Two
men came down at another trial, one with a
basket full Of eggs and wine-glasses and one
with brimming glass Of water. Nothing
was broken, and but little Of the water was
spilled, and the passengers described the
sensation as being like Jumping into a hay
NOW. The rush Of air caused by the falling
elevator made an appalling noise, but did
no harm. Such secure alacrity in sinking
has never before been heard Of World.
