We have received a copy OF an
open letter from Congressman Rob
ertson to the editor of the Capital
4erocate, on the subject of recent
legislation in regard to the i'm
pruvement of the navigation OF the
Mississippi river, and the protec-
ton of the alluvial lands from over
flow. Congressman Robertson has
been indefatigable in his efforts to
secure an appropriation to repair
and build levees, as we'll as to i'm
prove navigation. All of which
shows that he understands the resi-
necessities of the case aud the wants
of the people. We are proud to
know that he is SO ably seconding
the efforts of the FARMER to Secure
this much desired result.

Tue CovINGToN SCHOOL Assocn-
TIoN.-A number of our citizens re-
Gently formed an association. under
the above name, for the pnrpose OF
establishing and maintaining first

officers and members of the Asso-

Smith, DR.. Z. Il. Randolph, Jas. Il.

Chambers. The members of the
Association are all leading citizens
of Covington. and it will readily be
admitted that the object they have
in view is very cummerdable one,
| in which all of our citizens should
take an active interest, and aid
them by a generous support. The
Association have secured the SER
vices # Rev. G. L. Nickers as
teacher, and although the school
mas only been in operation since
the 1st Of April, we learn that there
are thirty-three scholars i'll attend
ance. About sixty scholars can be
accommodated at present, and
when the full quota Is obtained a
lady assistant will be employed
and if necessary, the school will b,
enlarged to accommodate an III
creased number of pupils. Thu

that the school will be u STANDARD

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The action of
the German government in prohibiting
the importation of American pork into
that country is causing great deal of
comment among pork dealers OF the
produce exchange. Mr.. 1. d. Grant, q
broker in pork, said: ~ do not think
the position taken by the German gov
eminent In regard TO American pork
will have much effect upon the market
here. When the French government
made war on our pork some time
ago there was some cause for
apprehending that our trade would
be injured, and such was the case until
the prohibition was removed. We do
not send as much pork To Germany as
we do 70 France. The Germans do not
call so much for high products as they
do for beef do not think there is any
good reason for the German government
resorting 70 extreme measures. There il
no ground for alarm in regard to oul
meat.

New York Tribune: Somebody pub
lished year or two ago "a theory by
which all disease was To be banished
aud death become an event impossible
except from old age. An immense
house was TO be built big enough To
cover the site of city. divided into
dwellings all under one roof, perfectly
drained, the water all filtered, and the
atmosphere kept dry. pure and at one
unyarying temperature the year round.
The sanitary congress in London have
just struck plan less expensive, but
which promises quite as much. Ii is
simply to live in the upper stories of
the house. The air as we ascend, they
declare, becomes dIier and less subject
to change. Houses hereafter must be
built on open arches In order to insure
ventilation below, and the climate, they
assert, will be found IN the sixth story
of q dwelling to be as pure and curative
as that of the sea shore. In the six
teentb, ut this rate, men ought
never To die at all. None
of the troublesome inmates of
Pandora's box flew higher than seventy
feet. II this theory be correct and we
can add decade to life with every story,
the houses of the sanitary congressman
will doubtless soon rival in height the
Tower of Babel. A practical discovery
lately made in Germany may serve to
supplement this hygIenic plan. Bricks
are now made there of the refuse bits of
cork which are totally Impervious to
dampness or heat. A flooring of these
bricks laid above an iron furnace at a
white heat is reported as "dewy, cool
and fresh" A man living in a tower Of
cork bricks up in the pure ether above
all miasma may reasonably be expected
to outlive the Wandering Jew.

A curious use of postal money orders
is made by travelling "show people"
and especially by those in circuses, dur
ing the summer months, in which their
harvest comes. They buy orders on
New York with the money they save
from time to time, payable to themselves
and hold them until they get to the me-
tropolis at the end of the season. Thus
the system becomes a savings bank
which will receive deposits at any town
of consequence, very convenient, per-
fectly safe, and only wanting because il
pays no interest. But il enables an i'm
provident class to lay by the principal,
which would perhaps in most cases
otherwise be spent or lost; and many of
the actors, clowns, riders and tumblers
save enough by this means during the
summer to support them through the
winter. The New York Office has now
on hand &2O,OOO due on these orders
which has accumulated in the past few
months, with the postm astcr's letters OF
advice filed away and labeled "lravel-
ing showmen"-fnr the clerks are
familiar with the names of most per
sons who save money in this way.
