Adam Forepaugh.

Mr.. Forepaugh, the Snowman, be gan
his business career as . butcher boy at
81 month, in which business he con-
tinued with increased salary till 1s4s,
when he went into the stage and omni-
bus business, which he worked at till
1854, sometimes buying and selling as
many as 10, 900 horses in year. In a
horse trade he took an interest in a
show as part payment, and combining
others with his fret purchase. and every
year importing new animals, he has
gained both reputation and a fortune.
He has lost a great deal on rare animals
that cannot stand the climate and con-
finement of cages. The giraffe seems
to be one of the riskiest of pets in which
to invest money, and the hippopotamus
also, is more frail than from his general
build one would take him to be, on
both of which an nimals Mr.. Forepaugh
has wasted a good deal of money in try
ing to keep one always on hand for ex-
hibitiOn,

Ups and Downs.

Perhaps the first encouragement the
editor receives on morning when he is
wholly unfit for any work or worry, is
from a subscriber who has had the pa
per two years without paying, and now
is ill-natured because he has received a
polite postal reminding him of the fact.
The publisher is under no obligation to
him in any way, but he demands the
paper at his own price, and stops it be-
cause no such terms can be made with
out injustice to all other subscribers,
and without giving it to him outright.
The next stimulant to help in doing
q good days work comes from IN irate
individual who wanted a gratuitous
notice, and had received some encour-
agement that he would get It, but In
been forgotten. A week would not
make any material difference, but he
will have no explanation, wakes wroth,
and stops his paper. BY this time the
threatened sick day is fully established,
and the editor in good trim to give dis
satisfaction to all the unreasonable peo-
pie he may meet during the remainder
of the day. Fortunately these are tenn
porary annoyances and the editor, If he
has had any experience, knows that
both of these Inconsistent subscribers
will miss their paper probably as much
as he will miss them, and when they
get over their pet, will come around
again gocd-natured enough and renew
their subscriptions. And in both these
instances, gentle reader, il has already
come true

That Fraud.

made in reference to Democratic frauds
on the ballot, said, SIT will be well to
remember that in 1876. Philadelphia
registered more votes Than the city Of
New York., and inquiries, Sis it possible
that you have forgotten that Hayes &C.
cupies his seat by fraud." Our memory
or knowledge IL entirely blank with ref
crence to the registration in the city Of

to be furnished with the proof, II the
fact is as claimed. 1t might, however.
be true and be no fault Of the Republi-
can party. In the city Of New York, at .
former election, about 60, 900 fraudulent
naturalization papers were used, but 1t

Now that the "dry season" approach.
es, enhancing the danger of fire, would
it not be well for our business men to
adopt some precautionary measures
agsinet the possibility of our own town
going up in smokef What precsution is
there taken along our streets against, or
facility for fighting Q fire, in case one
sheuld break outf There is not q buck
ct In readiness, nor an available ladder.
Should IRE break out In some such in.
accessible place as back of those build
ings in the vicinity of Robinson's bakery,
what could be done? Simply nothing
but to hunt for buckets, ladders and
water. iff .-i
One great precaution would be, instead
of having q tinder-box behind every
store, composed Of straw, old boxes and
barrels, let each one cart their surplus
kindling back Of Union block and de-
posit it on the pile usually found there,
convenient to q saloon, where there is no
danger from match or cigar stump care
lessly discarded by some tipsy fellow.
p A real pTecsution and wise one, we
think, would b, to have buckets of water
standing in the halls of the various busi-
ness blocks, with stationary ladders
reaching from the ground to the roof of
the buildings. to insure an easy and reli-
able access in case Of necessity. Suppose
the marshal discovers fire in the night
-onc that bucket Of water would put
out, when discovered-as no has done
two or three times, where is he to find
that said bucket of water at the present
timer Let the buckets be marked "Fire
Depxrtment", then let the Council i'm
pose O fine sufficient 10 preclude the pos
sibility of their being stolen.
The cost OF putting barrels on the
roofs of the warehouses, and keeping
them filed with water, would be small,
and they might be the means Of saving
good many dollars. An engine is spoken
Of. Well, an engine is 9 good thing, and
gives o community feeling Of security,
but IN order to make an engine effective
1t must be backed by an abundance Of
water, and reliable set Of mento run
it. At present the water supply amounts
to mere nothing. The expense of an
engine alone is not tribe.
A few inexpensive precautions, like
the above mentioned. IL taken in time,
would obviate the present danger, and
save the town great expense for years
to come. "An ounce of preventive"

The Water We Drink.

Most people enjoy clear, pure we'll
water as the standard drink for quench-
ing thirst. Every other is only q substi-
tute, when the best is not obtainable.
Where ice Is not to be had, and filter
is not in use, The well is the family de-
for culinary purposes. 1t seems as
though it would be readily understood
that great care is necessary that the we'll
be protected from contact with anything
unclean. Bat 1t is often the case that
nothing on the premises is left more to
take oafe Of itself. It is treated as
though it was tree whose roots thrive
best in constant moisture, or Is some
thing hermeticslly sealed, about which
unclean fluids may hsrmlessly wander.
1t is reckless to turn down or throw out
slops and suds, the rinsing Of milk pals,
dish water, and other refuse fluids. where
they will run into or be absorbed by the
soil adjacent to the we'll. When the
causes Of disease are more generally un-
derstood than they are now, the water
supply will be more carefully studied and
conscientiously protected. The drain,
or any other receptacle Of excrement
and filth, is abominably out Of place in
the neighborhood of the well; and the
latter is no more than reasonably pro.
tected when its sides are perfectly ce-
mented, the surface about its mouth
higher than tho adjacent ground, and
the top securely covered. If there IL
any doubt about the purity Of the water
1t is safest to boil IL before using.
One of the latest and best devices for
securing pure water is the Stevens filter,
manufactured ct Toledo. 1t Is made Of
galvanized iron, and, unlike others, the
water filters from below to the top of
the filtering material. where 1t is drawn
of clear from Q reservoir having double
walls and filed with non-conducting ma.
terisl, and from which, BY the addition
of very little ice, cold water may at all
times be drawn. The water il conyeyed
from the reservoir to the bottom Of the
filter by means Of . tube, and finds its
way upward through alternate layers of
charcoal and gravel, depositing the i'm
purities on the under side Of the filtering
material. Then when the filter needs
cleansing faucet at the bottom can be
opened, and pure water poured through
from the top, carrying with it all Inn
purities. We bsve had one in use for
some time, and believe it to be one Of
the best, If not the very best. in use.
1t certainly has merits possessed by no
others, and no added defects.
Filters ought not to take the place of
proper cleanliness about the well and
cistern, but are indispensable to clean.
pure, healthy drink unless the well is
far sboYe the average. Filtered rain
water may not be cold enough to please
the average taste, without the addition
of ice, but it is more wholesome and
healthy without It.
