drained by automatic tidal gates In the manner
usually praCfced In the reclamation Of other
tidal marshes. 1t would then remain in the
condition OF meadow until by the growth OF
the city 1t is required for business purposes.
The portion lying below 18th street and uoove
the Long bridge should be filed to extreme high
water, and added to the public parSings thereby
securing to these grounds river frontage and
including the open lake and ornamental ponds
which form the sluicing basins for the inside
channel.
The reclaimed lands below the Long Bridge
should be filled to the height of two feet above
ordinary high tide, forming meadows which
would only be overfowed at long intervals
during extreme high water. In this condition
they might remain until required for business
purposes.
The inside channel should be bulkheaded on
the Washington shore and along the fats simply
secured by slight embankment with footing
of rough stones.
The main embankment extending from Easby's
Point to the Long Bridge should be secured by
footing of rough stone and rip-rap. The present
width has been taken at fifty feet for the pur-
pose Of forming driveway along the water
front.
The system OF sewers emptying at 18th street
should be carried out to deep water through an
open canal nine feet in depth with reverted
banks to prevent the lodgment Of sewage at low
tide. The total area of lands re9 laimed will be
about seven hundred and twenty acres of which
one-third will be thrown into Il e public park
ings.
The estimates are not yet completed, but will
aggregate about s. 100000.

again recommend the early and complete abate-
ment OF the wrong by the erection OF the south
wing OF the Work-house for the accommodation
Of female offenders The cost OF this addition,
the foundations of which are already prepared
the Commissioner OF the Asylum estimates at
$4,000.
He also again recommends that the grounds
heretofore used for a naval and army magazine,
which adJoins the lands of the asylum, be added
to the latter. The Secretaries OF War and Navy
have officially signff1ed their assent to this use
OF the magazine grounds, and the consent of
Congress is all that is required to consummate
measure OF great value both to the United
States and the District OF Columbia The build
ingS on these grounds are substantial, and such
OF them as are suitable could at small expense
be used for workshops, in which the skilled
labor Of the wOrkhouse and United States Jail
could be utilized and the unSk1lled inmates. be
trained in the knowledge and habits of useful
industry. Some OF these buildings would also
furnish increased accommodations for the hos
pital and prison OF the asylum, and thus enable
its managers to effect without material ex-
penSe, important reforms suggested In their
reports but which for want of such accOmmo-
dationS, are now impractfcable.
AS further measure of economy, and OF
moral reform for the asylum, the Commissioner
recommends the purchase OF farm Of 800 acres:
having a river front and within convenient dis
lance, to be used as depot for the of1al from
supplies for the asylum AL garbage and 0fIal
due, now transported at great expense many
miles down the Potomac, and there wasted,
could be taken to this depot from the magazine
wharf by paup6r and penal labor, and converted
to ferfiliz1ng uses on the lands OF the asylum
and on neighbol1ng farms. The labor OF all
classes OF Migrants and beggars that infest our
streets might also be utilized on this farm to
their own benefit and the relief of the public.
These views of the Commissioner of the asylum
have the support of the health and police de-
partments OF the District, and we earnestly
commend them To favorable consideration The

the habit of thinking that all eyes will
be fastened upon her.
As she sails up the room some glance
at her with respect, and some with a
sneer, for there are those who love and
those who hate Sarah, Duchess of Marl-
borough, What covert spite there is in
the smile of that man who is now ap-
preaching the hostess; his eyes Sc brim-
ming over with it too, though he tries to
put into them the careless graciousness
of the gay gallant. Lady Mary sees this
plainly enough, as is evident from the
angry flashes that now and then are
darted toward him from beneath her
dark lashes, but still her manner with
him is very polished and courteous; she
does not forget that she is a lady, even
with her bitterest enemy, Horace Wal,

EThe Argosy.1


The drawing-room this evening is full
of light. The mirrors glitter, the gild-
ing glimmers, the silk hangings glisten;
but the center of all brightness is a lady.
The harmonious tints Of her dress SHIN
mer softly, her white arms CLEAN, the
sunshine of intellect flashes from eye to
lipin changeful play. How her cheeks
glow when the gentleman who has lust
entered draws near and speaks to her
for Lady Mary can not get out of the
girlish habit of blushing; and yet, even
while she bushes, there is something of
saucy arrogance, too, in her manner to
this visitor.
Who can he be? His slight, bent, mis-
shapen figure seems weighed down by
bodily weakness. But glance at his face
and there is strength enough there. Mind
sits watchful in those eyes, and satire
turks in the lines about that mouth.
Wherever he moves conversation bushes
a little throughout the room, as though
people feared him. Those who are not
familiar with the house turn to look as
he passes And no wonder; for who
would not gaze at Alexander Pope? Lady
Mary is very proud of counting the poet
among her admirers; but still always in
look and tone, she lets him know that
she is not afraid of him, as all the rest of
the world Is. And now an old lady en-
tiers; an old lady blazing with Jewels,
and rustling in stiflest brocade. The sun
set of beauty fingers on her face; she
moves with the sort of grace of one who,
even in advanced age, can not get out of

News: A novel feature of the cattle
trade is the cooperation of the mosquito
in their management on the range. One
of the largest owners said that without
the aid of the mosquito three times as
many men would be required to herd and
gather. Out OF the mosquito season the
cattle get as wild as deer, but under the
influence of these pests they congregate,
become docile and easy to manage.
