Negotiations to purchase the three houses situated on the Nevskoi Prospect, immediately opposite the palace, are now going on between the Minis try of the Imperial household and the own ers Among the houses is the one in which Shellabow, who was afterward hanged. per- fected his plans, and in which Trigonij was arrested lately. The second house was se- lected by Kobosew as convenient point to start his mine from. From thu third, the Hotel Bellevue, rented recently by the Min istry of the Imperial household, one can overlook, when the trees are leafess, the Inn perial gardens. The price demanded by the proprietors of these three houses is only G. 900, 900 roubles, but this, it is thought, will not deter the authorities from buying the property and converting it into huge bar racks. The rumor that the buildings are to be offered by the Czar as lodgings to officers of his household is discredited, probably in view of the many defections which have late ly been discovered among his immediate at tendants.

Who Should Control the Waterworks: :: To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER: As the water question is of great public i'm portance, we have carefully read what has been printed in opposition to the city pur- chasing the waterworks. These arguments, in substance, are these:
 'tFirst. The citizens of New Haven as 8 whole are incapable of properly managing waterworks.
 Second Fortunately we have in our midst few men of superior honesty and in telligence who have wisely organized and con ducted Water company and are ready to continue it's direction for the public good
 ssThird. We should be grateful for favors received, and as 8 measure of protection against our own incompetence and want of business ability should give this Water com pany absolute and perpetual control of our water supply in full confidence that it's wise liberality will continue to bestow blessings upon us.
 essFourth. The recent offer of the Water company was entirely disinterested and an additional token of it's generosity"
 Upon reflection we have concluded not to believe the foregoing statements and argu- mente.
 In the first place. there is no proof what ever of the often repeated statement that New Haven would not manage the water works as we'll as they have been. Experi-
  investigation of the history of the Water company which has just taken place before a committee appointed by the Supe- rior Court to fix the price of the waterworke has disclosed more mismanagement and more wastefulness in the Water company than has ever occurred in any branch of our city gov ernment.
 Secondly-The idea that the Water com. pany ever has been or ever will be, managed for the public benefit is an entire mistake. On the contrary, it's chief aim always has been, and always will be, to make money for the stockholders. We do not complain of the officers of 8 company for trying to make it's stock worth as much as possible to the stockholders But we call attention to the folly of allowing our water to be owned by few men whose pecuniary interests are ad: verse to the best and highest interests of the city.
 It is to the selfish interest of a private water company to distribute and sell the smallest possible amount of water at the largest possible price. It is to the interest of New Haven to get the largest possible amount of water at the smallest possible cost.
 It is true that the directors of private water company, as citizens. have the. same interest in the welfare of the city that other citizens have. The directors of railroad who saw chance to make money by water ing their stock would not be restrained from doing so by telling them that, as! citizens,

SCROFULA.

~ A remedy that can destroy the germs of scrofula, and when once settled has the pow CT to root it out, must be appreciated by those afflicted. The remarkable cures of young children and the more wonderful cures of those of middle age and late in life, as il- lustrated by our printed testimonials, prove HooD's SARsAPARILLA to be 9 reliable rem edy, containing remedial agents which do positively cure scrofula and eradicate it from the blood.
 WARNER, N. H., Jan. 21, 1879. MEssRS. c. l. HooD & Co.,, Lowell, Mass: Gentlemen-FOr ten years previous to the early part of 1877 I had been a constant suf- ferer from scrofulouS ulcers CT sores, which had finally reduced me to a helpless condi- tton, as described in my letter to you in Sep tembef of that year. The continued excel lent health which enables me to keep house for my aged father and to enjoy life, keeps SARSAPARILLA,andI cannot refrain from ex- pressing my gratitude for the permanent cure this wonderful medicine effected in my case nearly two years ago, while living in Lowell, when all my physicians gave me up as being in an incurable condition. One thing before close. have recommended your Sarsaparilla to hundreds, and think more than thousand cases, and my faith in its inyineibility in curing scrofula has be- come absolute by the wonderful cures it has eHected aside from my own. trust you VIII not be slow in making the merits of HooD'S SARsAPARILLA known everywhere, best wishes remain very truly yOIlrs

The Water Question.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 We acknowledge obligation to your cor respondent ''P" for so extended history of the waterworks of the city of London in his reply to our article in your paper of last Saturday. Sometimes opponent in en- deavoring to support his cause will draw out more damaging evidence than the party him. self had it in his power to adduce. If we must discuss the question it were best not to lose sight of the issue whether the water supply is a greater benefit to citizens when under the control of private or public corporation. The act concerning the condu- it's in London empowered the corporation of London to lay pipes and form conduits for the conveyance of water to the city. And by that act it was the duty of the Mayor and Aldermen to visit the heads of the springs once year. According to your correspon- dents account the corporation of London leased to private company the right to sup ply water to the inhabitants But he does not tell you that the corporation of London conveyed away it's right to supervise and in- spect the management of this private com pany. We say that it did not.
 The reader will bear in mind that the lim- it's of the corporate city of London do not embrace those large districts or parishes which have grown up round the city as it stood in Eye olden time'' And while there have been six or seven water companies in these surrounding parishes, the city proper retained it's supervision and control of the New River water supply. Your correspond ent settles the issue in our favor when he tells you that the Mayor and Aldermen visit ed, the waterworks every year, and the man. agement of the company must have been satisfactory to the Mayor and Aldermen, else there would have been complaint. As your correspondent says, the Lord Mayor, Alder men and Common Council and the citizens of London have had the right for 700 years to supply London with water
 Your correspondent says it is foreign to the issue, and therefore silly argument, to refer to the value of the stock of the New River waterworks as an example in favor of purchasing the New Haven waterworks The New River" is now estimated to be worth over eleven millions sterling or more than fifty million dollars; and it's shares readily sell from three to four hundred per cent. over their nominal value. Admitting that the water supply is wholly from pri- vate company, it only shows the enormous profit, whether from private or public works, and what might be realized in due time if our city owned the entire supply of water, provi- ded the management is honest and efficient. And to say that it would not be so is to i'm peach the character of the citizens who place and hold the municipal officers in power.
