Tc the Editor Of The Ecening Critic:
In the discussion that has taken place in
regard to the water supply, great deal has
been said and written against the stand
pipe In your issue of last Saturday cor
respondent terms it an absurdity. Permit
me to say that there are hundreds OF pcr-
sons residing in the northwestern section
who do not SO regard it. True, we do not
have water in our homes one-half OF the
) time, but stop the steam pump located on
u street, and our supply would be cut OIL
entirely As evidence of this fact, many OF
us for some days had neither water in our
residences nor ut the street hydrant The
writer made inquiries in regard to the
trouble, calling at the pump-house on U
street, where he found the pumps not run
ming, having been stopped, he was informed,
to undergo some necessary repairs. The
people residing in this section have suffered
more for the want of water than in any
other part, but they have borne 1t with but
little murmuring. Of complaints that have
appeared in the public press from Capitol
Hill, the burden of their song has been that
no water could be had on the second and

A strange Creature.

A gentleman travelling to Pittsburg from
one of the neighboring towns stopped to
see friend, and left his horse tied on the
road. On his return he found the animal
had slipped his bride. While in pursuit
of him he met an Irish pedestrian, of whom
he inquired Have you seen n strange
creature anywhere hereabouts with o sad
die on ?" "Och, by the powers, you may
well say that. " "Where?" "Just yon-
der F" "Will you show me the placer"
"That will in less than no time at all
almost, :" said the man approaching a small
wood of young timber. "Ah, there he is
sure enough, honey" The gentleman
looked up and said, 81 do not see him. "
"Then, by Saint Patrick, you must be blind
not see him Just cast your two good
looking eyes in that direction-Och, by the
powers Of mud, what's he about now? Only
see how he swallows his head!" "Why,
sir, that's turtle, and not hOrse!" "a
horse and who the deuce said it was a
horse? Sure, horse is not o strange
creature, but that's strange creature!"
added he, pointing to it with fear
and trembling, "and he has saddle

The Highland Lamp.

New York Tribune.
FenimOre Cooper lays scenes in one of
his novels around the Highlands of Nave
sink. There shines the dearest light that
ever burned since Heroes lamp stood in the
window for Leander-the Highland light,
that welcomes every American wanderer
home and every emigrant to his new coun-
try. The shaggy hillside, little altered
since Verregoni sailed beneath it, before
Shakspeare's day, supports the two towers
and battlcmented curtain, where, like two
eyes, one steady white, one darling light, the
spi rit of the government never sleeps. Ply
mouth Rock has its little celebrity; the
Highland light expects none. Like the
light and oxygen we breathe, it is an UNI
concious splendor, an unideal fire, the flash
of the volcano of strength and plenty
in the crater of the continent behind,
where harvests burn to loaves of bread and
sulphurous mines consume their jewels
Ships as pOpulOus as ancient cities pass be-
meath those uninterpreting eyes silently as
bats that fit by furnace chimneys at the
loosing of the blast. No poet writes the
romance that is never done, and that in Its
immeasurable consistency absOrbs alike
utility and poetry. The imagination, rest.
ing upon sublimer things, becomes itself a
bark, an emigrant here, drifting in where
millions of our kind have passed to Their
lives and their graves in nation that has
never heard of the Highland light.

Gabriel Max and His Home.

Art Journal.
In bodily presence the artist is scarcely
so spiritual as his pictures: he is short in
stature; his figure is thick-set, and he
carries his head somewhat forward. His
habits of life are those of student or re-
cluse an art so esoteric naturally pertains
to tastes fastidious; with the common head
there can be but few points of contact; no
one but n most intimate friend dares intrude
on the quietude of the painter when seclu-
dcd in his beautiful villa at Ammerland,
near the Stanberger Sea. In this lovely
spot his finely-strung mind finds itself at
tuned to the music of nature ; he looks on,
but stands aloof from the crowd and tu-
multi of the world.
When / last visited Munich, Gabriel Max
was passing the golden months Of autumn
among the hills and woods of the Bavarian
Highlands But he retained in Munich his
town residence, also two studios and mu-
scum. At one time his inquiries in natural
history, anthropology and cognate subjects
led him TO collect curiosities, both living
and dead. Like the Sienese painter Razzi
he had about him u menagerie Of living
creatures--an assemblage of snakes, tor.
toises, parrots and monkeys. But on sur.
rendering his bachelor habits these asso
ciates were dismissed, leaving only in re-
membrance host of bones and debris, now
packed away in boxes. Such properties Of
of the painters studios suitably find place
within his pictures
