Tint Cali. Criticised

EDS. NEws.-It was with surprise that
we noticed q call in Wednesdays daily
for public meeting for the purpose of

the earnest request of DIR. Pomeroy,

ing bonds to aid in rebuilding the edi-

vited an investigation into his manage

meet dineet charges, but could not vitu-
peratiOn or innuendo.

but no charges, no complaints were

board and preferred charges against the

should have gone before the board of re-
gents and made their complaints through

convince the gentlemen composing the
board, they would have had the satisfact

Now, unfortunately, the call for this

The Condition of our streets.

MEssRs. EDITORs:-I am citizen of
Emporia, and in common with all my fell
low citizens feel proud of our enterpris-
ing and growing city. Weare all am
bilious for Emporia in every way. We
want population of ten thousand peo-
pie, we want manufactures in short
we want everything that is proper and
desirable, everything that can add to the
comfort and happiness of our citizens,
or TO the importance of our city, but we
fear that Emporia, progressing in a
great many ways that are desirable, is
at the same time gaining a notorIety
in other directions that will be decidedly
unenviable. Not to keep you in un-
necessary suspense, let ME state that / re-
fer 10 the wretched, filthy and disgust
ing condition of some of our streets and
alleys. Already more smells can be
distinguished than Coleridge found in
the famous city of Cologne, and If our
street commissioners would remove the
odor of the seductive "Anheuser' from
their nOstrils long enough TO enable
those organs TO perform their natural
functions, they would be convinced of
the truth of this article. OF course we
cannot expect them to do without beer
and billiards, altogether, even if public
safety demands it, but dry street COM
missioner would be preferable to a vista
ton ofthe cholera, and the agony of a
day without billiards, would badly
equal the discomfort of a typhoid fever.
OF course street commissioners require
recreation and amusement as we'll as
other people, and we do not imagine
that their salary is sufficient TO enable
4. Az oil al. a. a..
ties of their office; but we have waited
patiently through two months of hot
weather, and the condition of things in
stead of improving, has grown worse,
until 1t is almost insufferable. The
citizens of this place pay their money
for taxes and they beguile themselves
with the idea that it is TO be used in i'm
proving the city. Perhaps some of
it may be employed in that way, but it
would take an expert to discover the
fact. People are allowed to maintain
nuisances in their yards and to pour
their Stops and dirty water into the
streets, filth is allowed to accumulate in
the cutters, and none but professional
rope walkers can hope to navigate the
rotten Joists that we are taught to look
upon as 'sidewalks;" and there are
other features equally bad, had we the
time or inclination to enumerate them.
In all seriousness, Mr. Editor, it Is hi Oh
time that something was done in the
matter. 1t is high time that the city of
Emporia, always so ready to vote bonds
and assistance to any worthy object,
should begin to realize the truth of the
saying that charity begins at home,' -
and secure the health and safety of her
children by cleansing her garments of
the filth that clings to them. If anyone
thinks this an exaggerated account, let
them walk up the alley west of Com
mercial street from Second to Seventh
avenues and if they do not pray for
Hercules to visit the city and cleanse it,
as he did the Egean stables, l will take
back all that have written on the sub
iect. SUBSCRIBER

DEATH OF LITTLE BERTHE KNOX.
And can it be our Bertie's gone
SO young. SO bright and fair.
Could death 1x on that form,
And set his impress there9
IT'S even so-his voice of mirth
No more our hearts will cheer;
The last fond kiss has been Impressed
Upon that face so dear.
How fondly he was loved; each day
We watched his opening mind,
And treasured up each word AMI look.
Each little action kind.
But ahi too soon the spoilcr came,
And marked him for his prey;
And yielding to the stern embrace
He fed from US away.
Yes, Bertie's gone; his spirit now
To heaven has upward nown;
His voice there learns a melody
To mortal ears unknown;
He treads the shining courts above,i
Amid the cherub band.
Who chant their Heavenly Fathers praise
In that pure, happy land.
Short was the time our darling one
To our embrace was given;
A link now added TO the chain,
To draw our hearts to heaven.
Berthe FAREWELL we give thee up;
Our Father called thee home.
That Savior folds thee in his arms
Who said to children, come.

WOMEN ARREsTING 4 TORY.

It was a man who sketched the days
preceding the American Revolution by
the significant words, g These are the
times that try mems souls" If woman
had written them she would have in
serted, "and women's." "
The insertion would have been justi-
fed by the facts. Women encouraged
the men to resist the claims of Parlia-
ment. When war resulted, and the
men went into the army, the women
worked the farms, run the mills, and
looked after the family.
On at least one occasion the women
armed and equipped themselves, and
did military duty.
It was in 1875, when the men oi
Pepperell, having heard of Lexington,
had left to join their countrymen. A
rumor ran through the town that the
/" red-ceats were approaching, anC
would cross Nashua bridge.
Clothing themselves in the garments
of their absent husbands and brothers
and seizing such weapons as were a
hand, the women, led by Mrs. DaviC
Wright, thronged to the river. I" n,
enemy to freedom should cross tina
bridge" they said.
While the women, ranged at th'
Pepperell end of the bridge, waited fol
the ssred-coats," horseman crossed
He was a neighbor, and a notorious
Tory.
"Seize him /" ordered Mrs. Wright
The women surrounded the hors
and forced the rider to dismount.
'sSearch him |" was the next ordel
Dispatches from the English to som
of their adherents were found in h
boots. Surrounded by these wome
the Tory was marched across the bride
and handed over to the Committee (

TnE CIRcrs : CoslIxG.

The avant courier of the ex-Presi-
dential party has already set foot on
American soil. The dispatch announc-
ing Mr.. Borie's arrival in San Fran
cisco is very brief, and gives us abso-
lutely no information of the purpose Of
his coming. 1t may be that the daring
mariner wearied of the long dalliance
by India's coral strand, and determined
to show his pleasure-taking associates
what an American sailor could do in the
way of rapid transit or it may be that
he had undertaken to excel the historic
tour of Phineas Fogg, and that wager
awaits his coming at the Union League.
But the more probable explanation of
this hasty circuit of the earth and this
unannouncea arrival is that he comes
as an advance agent to bill the towns
through which the Grant caravan is to
pass, and to secure the customary no
tees in the newspapers. One can pic
ture in the minds eye now the gorgeous
posters that shortly will adorn the
fences and dead walls along the route

Everybody has heard of the Shenan-
doah, the notorious priyateer Of the
the Southerners in the American civil
war, but / do not suppose that many
know what was the ultimate fate OF
the ship when the war ended. OF all
places in the world she now lies
s.fathoms deep" off the island of Soco-
ira, in the Arabian gull. Her story Is
a strange one. She was busy burning
whalers in Behring Straits when Wad-
dell, her commander, the mildestrman-
nered man who ever scuttled q ship or
cut a throat heard of the collapse OF
the South. His occupation being gone
and without home or harbor to which
he burst safely return, he ran the Saesa-
andoaL to Liverpool and Immediately
surrendered her to Her Majesty's ship
Doneqat, in the Mersey. She was
handed over to the American consul
and afterwards bought at auction by
Nicol, Fleming & Co., a firm that has
earned notoriety in connection with the
failure of the City of Glasgow Bank,
for the Sultan of Zanzibar. After re-
manning idle at Zanzibar for some
wears, she was sent to Bombay for re-
pairs, but foundered off Socotra, all
hands being lost except one EnSlishman
and few Lascars.
