MORE OF ITS OBJEcTIoNs.-In the
last issue of the GAZETTE we quoted
from the Morning Noios its entire ar
ticle objecting to the Eleventh Ward
bill. We wanted the members of the
Legislature to see what it had to say
upon the subject, and we make anoth-
er quotation. 1t may be examined
we think carefully and miputely
without discovering anything that
will guarantee the use of the word
tdamnable'i which fell from the elo-
qusnt opponents tongue while de-
nouncing the act in the House of Rep
resentatives:
"The Gazette stands alone in its nas-
nincent advocacy of the eleventh ward
scheme. 1t spreads in its words of en-
eonragemsnt for the proposed annexa-
lion over a good deal OF space, and the
only point that it enumerates that
carries any weight with it, is the lndefi-
Mite statement that somebody (name
not given) is only waiting for the
bill to pass TO begin the building of some
houses. We sincerely hope that he will
have to wait for several years, and vet
II he 10 wise man he will net make
the building OF the houses contingent
upon the annexation of Browntown To
the city. A man who is waiting and
longing for city taxes TO reach him be.
fore be will erect houses, is some what Of
rarity in this climate, and we know
several people who would be delighted
TO bear the name Of this public spirited
citizen. He can 90 ahead aud build hi.
houses and they will be subject to
county and poor lax only, and The reul
VIII De just as high as though be enjoyeO
the privilege of paying city taxes at the
rate OF S1.l5 per hnndred, in addition"
we have reason to know something
about taxation in that district, aud oul
experience is that the taxation would
not be much greater than ii has beer
under the Hundred in which the lanc
lays. Our experience may be exeep
tionable, however, siAcs we are of th,
Democratic faith and the Assessors O
Christiana, nine times out of ten are O
adiferent faith.
We have Rot the least doubt that tn
hSps sincerely hope 5" that the bill vii
be defeated The same hope leads it t
behave thai The defeat. Of the bill vii
aid the Republican party 10 power i
this city and therein lies all the objec
tion that the Radical papers have t
this bill.
The GAZETTE has herstoforegiven it
readers complete synopsis Of the bill
but it Aow publishes it entire in anothe
page, and we invite our readers b
peruss it. We cannot see anythin
"damnable" in it, and we doubt
they will.

$15S GOO 900, or about S2O,O00, 900 more
than the required specie reserve. But
this balance is very fiuetnating, and
could not be depended upon greatly TO
increase the fund upon which the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury could draw for the
purchase Of bonds, unless, indeed. he
should think IL prudent to reduce that
fund lower than Mr.. Sherman ever
deemed advisa BILE. 1t is therefore diff.
cult to wee where Secretary Window

PHILADELPHIA'S DRAINAGE
OF FLORIDA.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Conceding that the work is feasible,
it will open up a wonderfully fertile
tract of country which is ever touch.
ed by frost, being as free from that
danger as Cuba. 1t will open up a
vast sugar field, as well as the richest
land for oranges and al tropical fruits,
indigo, tobacco and other Southern
products, in the world, and supply la
Dor for thousands of negroes. As
Florida is more largely settled by
Norlherners than other Southern States;
it will be seen that new opportunities
will also be offered TO their energy and
enterprise, and these vast gras grown,
choked-up, stagnant swamps that have
never been Of service except az
hiding-places for hostile Indians, and
are of no serY,o now except as resorts
for ls hun 4, will blossom like the
rose, and play wonderful part in the
industrial history Of the South.
Should it succeed it must inevitably
make Florida the richest Slate in the
whole Southern section.

Lupin's cashmeres.
A REDUCTION IN THESE
@CELEBRATED FABRICS.

AT the Importers Sale held in
New York city, on 18th inst,
we bought largely of these
goods, probably enough to last
us until next fall, without the
Low PRICES we have put
upon them causes them to sell
very rapidly, which we believe
they will. We sell LUPIN'S
CASHMERES because we
know that they will give more
satisfaction to the wearer than
any other Cashmeres manufac-
tured, and the reason is that
they are made of the finest ma
terlal and dyed with the finest
dyes. Their great superiority
over all makes has given them
the monopoly of the fine trade
of the world. Buyers will no
tice that whenever they see
them advertised, OF wherever
they are offered for sale, they
are acknowledged as the stand
ard of excellence.

Made His Fortune,

Among the passengers that boarded
the western-bound train last evening
was Quang Long, Esq, the washerman
OF Seventh street. Seeing the reporter
he became camorous for personal
which he wanted inserted in this issue
without any "dam foolee."
Going far, QuangP' asked the re-
porter
Going home" was the sentsntious
reply.
mot TO ChinaT'
yes"
The reporter looked at Quang's tick
ct and saw il was good for San Francis
co and on to the port of Shanghai, in
the Celestial Empire. The pagan and
reporter sat down to exchange fare
wells. In their conversation Quang
stated that he had made enough money
in Erie to support him and his family
in aifiuence the remainder OF his life.
He had been nearly six years in Amer
lea and had worked most industriously
TO attain the competence with which he
was now retiring from business. Sewn
mp in the lining of his pants he had
81, 200 in bills of 500 denominations.
This sum he viii pay into the Chinese
Bank, at California, in which no has al
ready quite respectable sum deposit
cd, and will get draft for the whole
on Chinese ''money house." as he
terms it. In a little pocket near the
concealed bills he wears a sharp-pont-
ed dagger, and behind him he carries
an arsenal of assorted firearms that not
only impede his locomotion but will
make It risky for those who share the
same car with him.
He says the fortune he has made in
washing shirts will be MS good as mil
lions. and henceforth he will be a big
man. boss among his fellows. In his
satchel he had quite collection of
spurious nickel, bronze and silver coins
which had been "shoved" on to him by
mprincipled patrons before he became
civilized to the extent Of knowing good
from bad money.
Going to give these to your children
when you have them, | supposeP" re-
marked the reporter. Quang shook his
head and looked knowing.
"Me going to pass 'em on Chineeman
in San Faugsislio just come over" said
he. And then the reporter spologized
for calling Quang pagan Erie Dis
match.

Mexican Propensity for Stealing.

A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, writing from Mexico, says
"Washerwomen pawn the clothes of
unsuspecting and trusting Americans
when given them to be washed. and
more than one engineer has had to
visit some empen0 and pay down the
cash for garments that were already
his, TO get them out of pawn. Either
one by one or all in lump, these gar
ments are gathered into the nav of the
Mexican "uncle." The statement of
my friend, the machinist, may be color
ed by sad experience, but there is
much truth in what he says; it Is only
fair toward those Of our countrymen
contemplating coming here to give the
actual coloring of the dark side as well
as the bright. In regard to stealing,
this ! know, that nothing along the
line Of the great Mexican railroad
from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico,
is left outside after dark: nothing that
the strength Of two men can lift. Even
the car-couplings are taken inside the
station and locked up. This road once
introduced air-brakes on their cars, but
the workmen punched holes in the
pipes and stole the tubing, 20 they we're
taken of. On the ''Nationaln road.
and doubtless on all Others also, they
stole the bolts that fastened the rails to
the ties, until they were finally riveted
on. One of a gang of workmen under
took to steal the cap OF cartridge of
dynamite. and the result was that he
and several others went TO their reward.
Instances might be multiplied to show
that the bulk of the mixed population
of Mexico are thieves and beggars Ii
is impossible to mention the term steal
ing without finding victim. Two
evenings ago | was at the house of a
prominent American here, whose wife
that very day had had valuable watch
stolen from her they were in consul
tation that same day with the chief of
police about the possible recovery of
some furniture stolen from them few
weeks before. That afternoon met q
missionary. well known here. who
showed me a watch that had been
stolen from him and which ne had only
regained by paying $50 to recover it
from pawn. The wife of high Amer
lean official in Mexico told me that
same evening that at the first official
dinner given by her husband she lost
SO many spoons and forks that there
were hardly any left that evening.
Though there is no other city of any
size near this: thOuvh the streets swarm
with policemen and the customs Off
Gals seareh-or have the right to search
all merchandise arriving and depart
ing through the city gates, property
once lost is rarely recovered, Even in
the event of the identification and the
arrest OF the thief. it is so difficult to re-
cover stolen goods that they are in the
majority of cases left with the magis-
trate .Il lht
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1881-09-04

In 1857 Frederick the Great marched
about 100 miles in twenty days; and
again, after Rossbach, q little greater
distance in fifteen days, but lost 800
men through exhaustion. In 1850. with
10000 men and 1000 wagons. he ac-
complished about eighty miles in five
days. The same year the Austrian
General Lascy, with $1,000 men,
knocked off" $50 miles in ten days.
Prince Eugene. of Wurtemberg, TO re-
lieve Berlin. made forced march on
the 4th of October, 1860, Of thirty-six
miles in one day. This latter does not
approach the feat Of the 9th corps
thirty-fve miles in nineteen hours. II
may be remembered by many of thosl
who served with the army of the Poto-
mac that Birney's LIST (Red Diamond)
division of the Sd corps had won for
themselves the nickname of "Birney's
foot cavalry" and this title was subse-
quently applied to the ID corps after
the Sd corps was combined with it.
In regard to the Sd corps army Of the
Potomac, the writer feels that it de-
serves equal pre-eminence with the Sd
corps Of the French army under Ma
poleon in the campaign Of 1906. OF the
latter organization, Marshal Davoust
said Of this, the jena rampaign, when
the emperor expressed his admiration
of its achievements and his grief at its
heavy losses, "Sire, the soldiers of the
Sd corps will ever be to you what the
10th legion was to Caesar" (Alison,
H.. 457, 2.) The activity Of the Sd and
Of the combined 2d-3d corps rivaled
that Of Oudinot's grenadiers, in Octo-
Der, 1865, when they actually out
marched cavalry, accomplishing twelve
leagues day, and contributed chiefly
to the capture of tho Austrian Archduke
Ferdinand's column, which had es-
capped from Ulm. (Jervis. 1874; Alison,
H., 35l, ~ In the pursuit Of Lee the
9th corps kept up with the cavalry on
the 6th-so says Colonel Archibald
Hopkins, 37th Massachusetts volun-
teers, in his account Of Little) Sailors
creek, 9Th of April, lS85-and it is
claimed that the 5th corps had likewise
equaled the speed Of the horsemen,
prior to the concentration at Jeters-
vile, evening of the 9th, (Badeau's
Grant" i'll, 55S, 622-23, etc. The
infantry. both of the army of the Poto-
mac and the army Of Northern Virgin
la. justified Lieutenant General Baron
Amberts magnificent eulogy of the
foot soldiers, whom he styles 1.-THE sim
ews of an army" Gen. Roche-Aymon
says that cavalry is to infantry what
poetry is TO prose, and, If he meant ex-
actly what these words express, it is
not bad comparison, inasmuch as the
world might go on without poetry,
while 1t would be utterly impossible TO
get along without prose. Moreover,
good poetry is very rare, whereas ex-
cellent prose is not. Poetry, too, while
oil very fine, Is at best no more TO real
lifethan what dessert is TO dinner. - The
United SeyUtce.
