THE SANITARY TRUCE.

Alter several day IS delay, much dis
cussion and many consultations, the
legislative council came to an under
standing Saturday afternoon which
will dOutless be generally accepted as
a fair adjustment Of the differences
which have existed in that body and
in the public mind. The compromise,
we understand came from DIR. Por-
ter's side of the question, although
offered by Mr.. Gum. 1t came in the
shape of a lurther amendment to the
health ordinance, aud in a word pro-
vides that there shall be some dis
elimination in the work of cleaning
up and the filling up of privy vaults.
inspectors will condemn the worst
privies, and all such must
be cleaned out at once
and filed up with fresh earth. The
occupants or owners of the premises
may, however, appeal from the report
Of the inspector to the Board of Police
and Fire Commissioners, who may APP
point a committee Of three citizens to
visit and report upon the condition Of
the vault. 1t is further provided
that after such vaults are filled up, the
fecal matter shall be removed at the
expense Of the Taxing District. This
will give the box system a fair trial.
We have no faith in it, any more than
We had before this agreement was
patched up. Yet we believe that
where people are intelligent and
very careful, it may possibly be
made to answer a short time,
until connections can be made with
sewers. The contract for sewering
the city will probably be signed soon
after the 18th inst. This, more than
anything else, will give assurance that
something is really to be done. We
hope now that the people will take
this matter in hand, go to work in
earnest, and do something more than
talk, 1t is important to pay up the
one per cent. tax that sill fall due
on the 18th of February, in order that
the local government may be able to
make contracts for sewerage and sub
soil drainage at once. Those who may
adopt the box system will do so with a
positive understanding that it is only a
temporary expedient ndthey will have
to take extraordinary pains to prevent
it from becominga worse nuisance than
the old vaults, and the very next
curse to the yellow fever itself. II
sewers are to be laid down in the mex
four months, we can stand a great deal
In the meantime we would urge upon
all who can, to clean out their vaults
whether notified TO do so or not, unless
the same mas been done recently
With subsoil drainage, a general con
nection with sewers, the removal o
fecal matter, cleaning up of old eel
lars, and a thorough disinfectior
of premises, there is no reason VIII!
Memphis may not be as healthy anC
desirable place as there is on the
continent. The compromise agreed
upon on Saturday is sensible and prac
ticaI. The same policy agreed upor
at the start would have Saved a GOOD
deal of agitation. However, mo time
has really been lost. We must all &C

LOVE IN ALL.

NAME the leaves ON all the trees
Name the waves on al the seas,
All the iiow'r r. by rill that blow,
All the myriad tints thit glow.
Winds that wander through the grove,
And Won name the name of Love:
Love there j. in summer sky,
As in light of maidens eye.
Listen To the countless sounds
In the wind that gayly bounds
Der the mcads. where, On the wing,
Bright bees hum and iinnets sing,
Pat of rain-drOp, chat of stream
OF their song sweet loves the theme:
Love there is where zephyr skips,
As in breath of maiden's lips.
In the west mild evening CLOVIS;
Angel fingers fold the rose;
Silvery dcws bcrin To fail;
Crimson shades to shadow all;
Holy Nature wells her face;
Earth is lost I'm Heavens embrace:
Love is in an hour like this.
As in guileless maiden's kiss.
Go where, through the voiceless night,
Trips fair Luna'> silver light:
Hcarof Natures pulse the beat,
Like the tread of unseen feet;
See from OUT the iambcnt north
Shimmering arrows shooting forth:
Love Is in Il meteors start.
As in throb of maiden's heart.
Loves the essence of all things:
Ills from love that beauty springs;
Twas by love creation first
Into glorious being burst:
Yelled in maiden's form so fair,
do worship thee in her,
Spirit sweet-all else above:
Love Is God, since God is love.
