Chicago and Boston.

A GAY and reckless young man on
Aberdeen street, whose business as a
commercial tourist obliges him to visit
all parts Of the country, fell in love
with highly cultivated Boston young
lady (there are no girls in Boston), and
not long since led her to what she
called 8. the hvmeneal altar" although
he characterized the performance as
s.gittin' marrid." His blue-stockinged
bride is now a resident of Chicago. and,
loving her husband dearly, tries by
every means in her power to adapt
herself to the Garden City style of con-
versation, which, as everybody knows,
is inclined to be slangy. After care
fully watching Arthur for several weeks,
and noting his language, she thought
herself prepared to carry on a con-
versation in the best West-Side style,
and resolved to show people out here
that a Boston young lady could enter
homogeneously into any sphere of
life. So, when her first reception day
came. she was, as she remarked to a
friend, ''to use a favorite expression of
Arty's loaded for bear,'" and when q
visitor was ushered into the parlor lost
no time in showing off her newly ac-
quired knowledge. In reply to a
spirited observation concerning the
weather, she said, You're talking"
and when asked if she had not formerly
resided in Boston. startled the visitor by,
II should SMILE Il suppose you love
the old home," said the Chicagoan.
"Well," said Boston, as her bright eyes
cleaned merrily through her glasses,
''you can just wager your saccharine
existence that I do" The lady says
she never knew how nice ''You bet
your sweet life" sounded bsfors.-

her voice: "Dear. dear Walter, you are

The other stood looking earnestly and

of hope, fear and uncertainty swept
over my soul. With tottering, feeble
step I went forward. led by the quick,

he had sent me the day before; but he
only laughed merrily at the mention of
it, assuring me that he was convinced
beyond the possibility of doubt before
he wrote the letter, that Roberts life
and happiness were both in imminent
danger. And then George shook her

very way her little foot was set upon
the graveled walk. Her straw hat had
fallen back from her face, and its white
satin ribbons lay loosely about her bare

moonlight stole over the golden-brown
braids of her luxuriant hair, tinging
them softly with its radiance.

 Adventures There-Business.
 BETHLEHEM, Pa, Jan. 3O
 To the Editor ef the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I have written you several times from this place, because there are many things that fill it with interest for me. Here I have had many singular adventures, even up to catch ing wild pigs for the farmers, of which I wrote you some months ago. The first time ever visited the town was in company with an old gentleman who came to see his daugh- ter, who was attending the famous young la dies boar ding school located here, and it was the darkest night ever saw. We'll do re- member that occasion, for the road leading from the depot to the center of the town turns to about every point of the compass (except up and down., and as you have to pass over several long, narrow, covered bridges and follow high embankment paths or fall overheard into the Lehigh canal, you can easily form some kind of conclusion for yourself how two total strangers made their way in the darkness that night almost be felt. We spent nearly two hours that night going less than mile, and although it was no laughing matter at the time have always since been glad it hap pened for the fun of the afterthoughts, for they have given me many good laugh dur ing the score of years that have passed since it happened. Bethlehem then was small village in comparison to what it is to-day, and the splendid brick depot compares very fa- vorabiy with the miserable old shanty of that date, and the high sidewalks have been also properly guarded. To-day Bethlehem, together with her sister towns of Allentown and Easton, are in full glory. Since the dis covery of the coal and iron wealth in this neighborhood never was business in this To- cality so blooming" q don't like the use of that word $ booming" but as everybody uses it, I suppose I must too ) Every one feels the impulse, and local prophet, of whom have frequently heard here, has predicted that during the years 1880 to 1890 will be season of great.

THE HOSPITAL,


 On Friday morning last, in pursuance of what we conceived to be our duty as publishers of public journal, we inserted in the columns Of the JOURNAL AND COURIER, over the sigma ture of respectable citizen, communication denouncing an alleged case of mismanagement in the Hospital. Regarding this institution es one of our city's noblest charities, enlisting the sympathies and efforts of many of our best citizens, and, as we believe, in its peculiar field doing great amount of good, it was with much reluctance that we consented to the publication of the article in question. It was given place in our columns solely in defer ence to the right which the gentleman offering it had to be heard through them in regard to the alleged acts, in given case, of the manag- CTS of an institution in which the public have deep interest. AS we anticipated, its publi- cation elicited rejoinder from the Superin- tendent of the Hospital, in which the charges made are denied, each and all of them, and the management of the institution, as he claims, vindioated in the most unqualified and fullest manner possible. This we most cheerfully published on Saturday morning, and gave it the same circulation we did the charges in question. Having done this, our duty, as we conceive, in the premises, we must decline to pursue the subject further. We have been furnished with communication in reply to the rejoinder, but for the reasons above stated must decline it's publication.

Tho following paragraphs, taken from the pages of The Plumber and Sanitary Engineer, l are worthy of attention, and in the light of present knowledge may be considered as brief, but accurate statement Of the essential requirements for the drainage of every house. Time and further experience may suggest other features or notifications of these :- A trap should be placed in every main drain to disconnect the house from the sewer or eesspool.
 Every main drain should have an inlet for fresh air, entering at point between this trap and the house, and carried to conven- tent location out of doors, not too near win dows. This inlet will relieve the smaller house traps from pressure, which otherwise would occasionally be likely to force their seals, and the air entering through it assists the circula- tion within the drains and is essential to in- sure the diffusion of gases there generated. Every vertical soil or waste pipe should be
 extended at least full size through the roof.
 Rain water leaders shonld not be used as
 soil pipes, and when connected with house
 drains should be made of cast iron, and the
 joints should be gas and water tight, to pre- clude the possibility of drain air entering open windows. No traps should be- placed at the foot of
 vertical waste pipes, as they impede circu-
 lation.
 Traps should be placed under all sinks, ba- sins, bathrooms, water-closets, etc., and as near the fixtures as possible. All traps under such fixtures should be sep- arately ventilated in order to prevent syphon- age, and the vent pipes should not enter the vertical soil pipe below where any drainage enters it.
 No safe waste should connect with any drain, nor should the waste from refriger- ator so connect.
 Water closets should not be supplied di-
 rectiy from street pressure, nor by pipe
 from which branches are taken for drinking
 water, but from small cisterns or supply
 tanks.
 All drain pipes within house should be of metal in preference to stone ware, and it is
 best to run them along the cellar wall with good incline. They should never be hidden under ground, as then leaks will not be per- ceptible. All drains at all times should be kept free from deposit, and, if necessary, special flushing arrangements should be pro- vided. All horizontal drains should be laid in straight line, with proper falls and no right-angled junction should be allowed, ex- cept In case the drain discharges into 8 verti- cal shaft
 Water supply and waste pipes should be concentrated as much as possible and not scattered about building. Horizontal soil pipes are objectionable. Plumbing fixtures should not be hidden behind walls where their condition is never apparent. They should be so situated that any leak would be readily detected.
 Whenever dampness of site exists it should be remedied by laying subsol drains, which should not pass directly to the sewer.
