Correction.

Editor Morning NeloS In the report Of the
proceedings of Council, which appears in
your columns of yesterday, appears state
ment injurious to me and contrary to the
facts as they occurred
1t is true that a charge was preferred
against me by the Mayor as TO the faul y
sewer connections of certain property on
the corner of South Broad and Lincoln
streets. 1t is very easy to make charge
But It is not true that the case was dismissed
on dny promise of mine to remedy the evil.
There is way OF telling a
thing which does noe convey a corr Get
impression. 1 did not appear before
Council as a culprit, nor as S1Sch did prom
Use if forgiven to remedy nuisance. On the
contrary, Council was told Dth0ut denial by
my attorney, Mr.. Robert Erwin, that its
own action of June Sth and 22d was the
cause of the evil, and Alderman Hamilton
distinctly acknowledged #, and Alderman
Freeman offered a resolution that Council
do not put in sewer on Lincoln street be-
cause Mr. Erwin had told Council that he
had advised me that so long as
Council left upon the public record
a declaration that it would put In the sewer
on Lincoln street, could not expend the
money of an estate to put In that sewer or
any Their on that street and that 1t would he
necessary to undo its acts of June S5h and
22d before / could do WhGt I had already
commenced 10 do when stopped by these acts.
Council was also told that the petition
which was reported on tdVOr0b'y and the re
port adopted WAS not got up by me, but by
Mr.. Rowland (who was presently without
my knowledge, and only signed By me as q
duty.
In other words, Council, by implication,
apologized to me, rescinded its previous
acts, and dismissed the case.
EXTRACT OF LETTER.
Resolution of Alderman Freeman
That Council will not proceed to the con-
struction of a sewer through Lincoln street,
from South Broad to Broughton streets.
Adopted.
On motion Of Alderman Freeman the case
was dismissed Very respectfully yours,
FRANK +. REBARER,
Clerk of Council.
LETTER OF ALDERMAN HAMILTON.
DEAR SIR considered that the former ac-
ton of Council was calculated to leave the
impression that the city would grant the petit
ton q. e., put in a sewer on Lincoln street,,
and l would favor its being done did l not
know the financial condition of the city. But
the heavy expenses caused by the storm, and
other unusual expenses, made it impossible FOR
the city to make the outlay, consequently
would vote for Alderman Freeman's resolution
declining to put in the sewer
Very respectfully. yours,
SAMUEL p. HAMILTON.

correction in justice to myself,

How Momen shonId Dre.r.

An American authority says: No lady
need be ashamed to dress plainly OF
cheaply; she can, with the help of the
modern guides to dress, appear like q
lady on very little money. She can lay
down three rules for herself: Never to
pretend to anything, never to wear jew
elry, and, afirmatively, always to be
neat. A young girl with white mus
lin and fresh flower is dressed for a
queens ball. A lady Of maturer years,
with well-titting dark silk, real jew
elry or none, and her own hair-all the
better if it is whites also dressed fol
ball. True womanhood include all
the delicate refnements that overflow
in the perfect glove, the well-fitting
shoe, the pretty stocking, the neat
frills, the becoming bonnet. The
American woman, to do her only JUS
tice, is not creature by instinct, and If
she occasionally gives too much thought
to dress, she is still to be admired and
commended for her daintiness.

FOR THE LADIES.


The New York Telegram says Of the
trousseau belonging to the Princess
6tephanie, Of Belgium, married to the
Grown Prince of Austria: It had been
exhibited at the royal palace at Brus-
sells, and the descriptions OF its fairy
like materials, and the exquisite works
of art in gold and silver embroidery and
laces Of marvellous delicacy, were most
exciting. Amid all the bridal glories
one table In the middle of the hall was
heaped up with linen and household
goods, which attracted the attention Of
the ladies. 1t may interest lady readers
to know that the chemises are fringed
with costly lace and with lovely bosoms
of artistic workmanship. Then there
were jackets. .corsets, iupons, handker-
chiefs, fchus, cravates and other most
charming objects necessary to the femi-
nine toilet. Near these were costlier
presents Of dresses and ieWelry. The
bridal dress was of the traditional cloth
of silver, richly ornamented with en-
broidery designs representing oak,
laurel and rose branches, intertwined
with bouquets of orange blossoms, the
whole, both for design and harmony Of
color, forming robe such as connols-
seurs declared was never seen before.
The waist and arms were decorated with
delicate silver lace, the train Of the same
material as the robe and embroidered
to match. 1t was four meters long and
four wide. The bouquets and designs
in high relief on the train have occupied
many industrious hands for over three
months. The queen Of the Belgians
wore dress at the wedding which was
composed of azure velvet, the train,
with rich silver embroidery, falling
over a similarly embroidered under
dress of dead blue satin. IT was very
tastefully decorated with silver lace,
and the draping and arrangements Of
this matchless robe were such as to
send those who have seen it into ecsta-
sizes.

Wars Of the Humming- Birds.

Whenever it happens that two of the
species meet among my flowers, they
signal the encounter with shrill war
cry, and dash at each other in fierce an
tagonism. The spirit of Bellona in
flames their souls. For an instant they
close together, then give each other
chase, and with the speed of meteors are

Of one alone announces that the victory
has been quick and decisive. Diminu-
tive as are these puny sprites, they are
heavily charged with combativeness.
The entire race are pugnacious and
quarrelsome to an extraordinary degree,
impudently assaulting each other, and
birds of much greater size which ven
ture into their neighborhood or occasion

is not safe from their attacks, and has
been seen worried and whipped by them.

A Pageant in Siam.

The rice crop this year is bouuti
full one, and the people are reioie ing
over it. The second king came in from
the country on Sabbath morning. He
had been out on his fields threshing his
rice. Returning, he arranged for the
yearly procession that is made at the
close Of the harvest. The first gong
had rung for our religious service Just
as the procession reached the lower
compound. The noise of bells on the
elephants, and the chanting Of the
riders, together with the music made by
the kings band, made it necessary for
us to delay the ringing of the second
gong until after the procession had
passed. I had not supposed it was to
be so great an affair. A large number
Of elephants had passed before began
to count, but i counted 10 as they
passed along one by one. I was told
there was ITO in all in the procession.
One of the largest wore trappings Of the
brightest silver. The howdas contained
rice. All these were decorated with
green branches. The procession was in
honor Of the guardian spirits that pre-
side over the rice crop. Those that
could see the procession in its whole
length considered it the most imposing
one that has passed for years Rec. II

Durability of the Obelisk.

Commander Gorringe lectured short
time ago before the Teachers associa-
ton of New York, on "The Obelisk
and African Archaeology" In the course
of his lecture he said
The ancient Egyptian obelisks were
originally monoliths, and were all quar-
ried at Syene, on the banks of the Nile,
about $50 miles from the sea, where
there exists an enormous mass Of rock
known as syenite, celebrated for its
hardness, freedom from cracks and
veins of foreign matter, and susceptible
of the most beautiful polish. It has
been asserted that the climate of Egypt
is more favorable for the preservation
Of syenite than that Of Paris, London
and New York. / contest the accuracy
of this assertion. The wonderful pre-
servation of the Egyptian monuments is
due to the material of which they are
made, and not the climate. In Egypt
very heavy dews accumulate in the
summer and autumn. when the sky is
almost cloudless and the sun puts forth
its greatest heat. The moistened sur
faces are acted on by the powerful rays
OF the morning sun, and, as is univer-
sally the, case where there are heat and
moisture, there will be decay. Thus it
is that the eastern and southern sides Of
the mountains all along the northern
coast of Africa show signs of disintegra-
ton, while the western and northern
sides remain more or less uninjured.
You have observed that the .hieroglyph-
les on two of the sides of our obelisk
are perfect, while on the other they are
more or less obliterated. This is not
due to the sand storms of the desert, as
has been stated, because the most per-
feet side was facing the southwest, from
which direction the most severe sand
storms of Alexandria invariably come.
The same condition that caused the de-
facement of two sides in Egypt exists in
New York, bnt under different circum-
stances and TO less degree. It is only
during the summer afternoons, after
the thunder-showers, that the sun mas
an opportunity to exert his most power
fnl influence on a moist surface. This
is the reason have turned the worst
face of the obelisk to the west, to re-
ceive whatever injury may result from
the same cause. Many persons inter-
ested in the preservation of the hero
glyphics as they are have expressed some
anxiety as to the effect of severe cold
following rapidly a heavy rain. 7 have
no hesitation in asserting that we have
little to fear from that cause.
