Public Water Supply and a Sewer
System.

A VERY good point is made by the
Sanitary Engineer in its last issue re-
garding the dangerous condition in
which those towns are placed which
have public water supply, but no sewers.
Bad as is the state of a thickly settled
district in which the ground is honey
combed with vaults and cespools, the
earth pollution is comparatively circum-
scribed and trifing until the vast in
crease of liquid waste occasioned by the
general use of aqueduct water comes to
dilute the foul household matters, and
give them power to penetrate far into
the earth. No principle of sanitary
engineering is better established than
the rule that unless sewer system soon
follows the introduction of water service
in town, a marked deterioration in the
healthfulness of that town is sure to re-
suit, manifested not alone by the in
crease of the strictly zymotic diseases,
but also in malarial affections, which
depend perhaps as much upon the
lampness, caused by the saturation of
the soil, as on the character of the satu-
rating liquid. In several of the more
intelligent communities this subject is
now exciting much attention, but the
cost of sewer system, added to the
"water debt with which the towns are
already saddled, is so great as to deter
all but the most energetic of the citizens.
This cost might, however, it seem to u,
be brought within comparatively mol
crate limits by the adoption of the ss '
sem carried out with such signal econo-
my and success in Memphis by Colonel
Waring, of collecting house-wastes only
in a network of small pipes, leaving
surface waters, which form the great
bulk of the contents of ordinary sewers,
to be disposed of in open cutters or
otherwise, as circumstances might indi-
cate. The collection and disposal of
house-drainage only would be a simple
problem, easily and cheaply solved in a
way which could secure community at
once from filth or malaria poison, if it
were not attempted to carry off the rain
fall also in the same conduits.

A representative mans opinion on other
than political matters, is often Of great use
to his constituency. The Hon. 8. n. Yoder,
Of Globe Mills, Pa. has thus recorded his
opinion on a subject OF popular interest. I
have been selling St. Jacobs Oil for the last
year. / have never heard person speak Of
It, except as a splendid medicine, and as the
great specific for rheumatic affections wheth-
er indammatory, acute or chronic, swellings,
sores, sprains, burns, wounds, etc. sell
more St. Jacobs Oil than of any other kind Of
liniment, and it gives universal satisfaction.
I will always keep it on hand. The farmers
say, that for man and beast, they find moth
ing to equal it.

Jefferson's Republican Simplicity.

A WRITER on 6 Historic Washington"
in the Washington Star recalls the fol-
lowing customs of earlier days at the
capital: ssWith the introduction of
the purely republican ideas of Thomas
jefferson, when he rose from the office OF
Vice-President to that of President, the
pomp of the court came to an end.
He abolished at once the weekly levees.
Fashionable society rallied, but the great
Republican was infexible-the levees
were not restored. As to dinners, he
preserved the old Virginia style of free
and easy hospitality. He kept at the
Presidential mansion about eleven col
ored servants and a French cook, q
French steward, and an Irish coachman.
His bill in the Georgetown market aver
aged SIS a day for the use of his table.
The Presidents mansion was convert
ed into u general rendezvous and free
club. No etiquette was required or OBJ
served at these dinners beyond the
forms of ordinary good breeding. The
whole code of procedure was abrogat-
ed. The second rule of Republican Ell
quette was this: when brought to-
gether in society all are perfectly equal,
whether foreign or domestic, titled or un-
titled, in or out of Office He further
ordered shat to maintain the principle
of equality, or pele mele, and to prevent
the growth of precedence out of cOurte-
sy, the members of the executive will
practice at their own houses, and re-
commend an adherence to, the usages of
the country, of gentlemen in mass Civ
ing precedence to ladies in mass in
passing from one apartment to another
''The ladies of Washington regarded
the abolition of the levees by Jefferson
as an invasion of their vested rights and
put their pretty heads together to con-
suit what they were going to do about
it. The result of their deliberations was
coercive, and they determined to apply
it upon Mr.. Jefferson. So on the usual
day for holding the levees they took pos
session of the White House in force.
The President was taking his usual
horseback ride. On his return he was
told the circumstances. He entered the
room where the fair invaders were as
sembled, booted, spurred and dusty, and
received them in the most courteous
and graceful manner, but the levees
were ended, nevertheless.
''Mr. Merry, the English Minister of
this time, was fanatic on the subject
of etiquette. He was thoroughly out
ragged and indignant at the manner of
his reception by President Jackson. He
wrote as follows to Josiah Quincy: Il,
in my official costume, found myself, at
the hour he had himself appointed, in
PRODUCED to a man as President of the
United States not merely in an undress,
but actually standing in slippers down
at the heels, and both pantaloons, era
vat and under-clothes indicative of an
utter slovenliness and Indifference to APP
pearances.' 30

While the unrecognized religious
orders in France have been dispersed,
the recognized ones are threatened with
the loss of all their privileges. Bills
now pending in the Chamber propose to
GUST them from sites or buildings be-
longing to the State, and to abolish their
exemption from direct taxes. A circu-
lar has also been issued by the taxing
departments giving instructions that
converts or monasteries carrying on any
kind of labor shall henceforth be sub
ject to trade licenses, no matter though
the receipts be appropriated to charita.

A Curious Marriage.

NEW YORK, December 1.-The evening
papers have the following: ABOUT two years
ago a daughter of Amos Stillman, of Brook
lyn, eloped with W. S. Guild. Miss S-illman
was only about seventeen, while Guild was
seventy. After a private marriage they
skipped away to Europe without the knowl-
edge of friends or relations. Things were
not what the young bride thought they wonld
be, and in four days she became homesick
and prevailed upon Guild to return. When
he reached the wharf in New York he hired
a coach and sent her home to her parents,
while he got upon another steamer and set
sail for California. Fer one year he remit
ted his young wife ten dollars per week, and
then the remittance stopped. Now she sues
him for limited divorce on the ground OF
abandonment. 1t is understood that he
claims she abandoned him. This morning a
motion was made by her counsel for counsel
fees and alimony. 1t was opposed by counsel
for defendant, who said his client was in
California aud would have to send aftldavits
TO him. The case was postponed.

fast Wednesday night. He was sitting
at g table digesting that hallucinating
dream that mOckery of restaurant
mockeries-a modern oyster stew. Call
ing the white-aproned darkey to his
side, he pointed down into the dish
and said !:
"This thing must be investigated 1t
appears that you have given me an
oyster stew with an oysterin it. Come,
this is hardly fair. And | am a stranger,
too
'Hey?' asked the puzzled waiter.
II repeat, you have given mt an oys-
ter stew with an oyster in it. Must |
pay anything extra for the oyster?'
"NO-why-"
"Well, that's all right I'm glad of
it, smiled the stranger, strengthening
up. "Only, I don't see how you "a
make any money if you put an oyster
in the stew. Well, it beats me how
you can afford to do it. | suppose you
will be putting chickens in chicken
salad, ham in ham sandwiches, and
veal in veal pie next. Then you will
be so rash as to give a MAJ a clean nap

FRACTIONAL CURRENCY.
OF the fifteen millions of fractional cur
rency still outstanding, only about eighty
thousand have been redeemed the past year.
The suggestion that this amount may proper
ly be dropped from future statements of the
public debt seems worthy of approval.
THE PUCLIC DEBT
The President, after giving an immense
amount of figures relative to the financial
condition of the country sums up as follows:
II is estimated that even if the annual re-
ceipts and expenditures should continue as
at present, the entire debt would be paid in
ten years. In view, however, of the heavy
load of taxation which our people have al
ready borne, we may we'll consider whether
it is not the part OF wisdom to reduce the
revenue, even if we delay a little the pay
ment of the debt.
THE ARMY.
The Secretary OF War recommends the
legislation necessary to increase the number
of enlisted men to thirty thousand, the max
imun allowed by law. This he deems nee
essary to maintain quietness OH our ever
frontier; to preserve peace and sup
press disorder and marauderlng in new set
Elements; to preserve settlers and their prop
against Indians and against the en-
croachment OF intruders, and to enable
peaceable emisraut- to establish homes in the
most remote parts Of our country.

A fire broke out in Minneapolis on the 4th
in the milling district destroying before it was
subdued, four large f1our mills and one cot
ton mill, and causing the death of at least
four men. The fire broke out in the Pills
bury mourning mill owned AID operated by A.
P%illsbury & Co., and destroyed the Empire
mill, Minneapolis mill, Excelsior mill and a
cotton mill. After the fire had taken hold OF
the Minneapolis mill a terrific explosion oc-
CURED which leveled the walls of the struct-
ure crushing the elevated railroad track in
front of the mill killing three persons and
%injuring another fatally. The explosion was
one of great violence SCATTERING the windows
as far as ten blocks away from the scene, and
startling people from their slumbers in all
parts of the city. The cause is all a matter
of speculation thus far. The mill had been
shut down for some time snd the explosion
is likely TO have been from confined gas, as
from -four dust, to which the Washburn mil.
explosion was attributed. -Four men were
killed and a number wounded. The loss il
put down at $55s,000.

A Fearful Holocaust.

vienna, Dec. 9.-From the ruins of the
Ring Theatre, which, was burned last night,
27O bodies have been recovered. The fourth
gallery has not yet been explored. 1t is be-
lieved that not a single person escaped from
that gallery, and that very few escaped from
the third gallery. The cerpses last recovered
are little mere than charred fragments. Gross
neglect is charged against the management
of the theatre. The law prescribes the use
of Gil lamps in the corridors of theatres, so
that exits shall be made in the light in the
event of the failure of gas but this precsu-
ton was utterly neglected. The person in
charge of the iron curtain between the stage
and auditorium appears to have fed at the
first alarm.

A Leadville dispatch of the 5th says: The
Gold Park Mining Company is in a furore of
excitement. Four days ago Harry Weston,
foreman of the Gold Park Mining Company,
was shot and killed by Bayley, a discharged
blacksmith. Bayley also made an unsuccess-
full attempt to shoot Superintendent Turney.
He then fortified himself in his cabin, which
was Immediately surrounded by a mob. The
cabin was besieged for eight hours without
disiodging its occupant. Finally a large
quantity of giant powder was placed near the
door and ignited. The explosion which fol-
lowed tore the cabin to pieces, and Bayley
was found with a bullet hole through his
heart, evidently having committed suicide.
Bayley had several sympathizers who threat
ened Turney's life, and a strong guard sur
rounded his cabin night and day. Jack
White and Bayley's other friends were Or
dered out of town by the Vigilantes. The
Bayleyi,es paraded town all day with cooked
revolvers looking for the Vigiiantes, but left
at night. Much trouble is anticipated.
