French enterprise is steadily persev-
ering in the work of redeeming of the
desert of Sahara by means of Aries
ian wells. A large number of wells
have been sunk along the northern
border, more than $50 in the province
of Constantine alone, and the work
is advancing into the interior. One OF
the curious phenomena which the dig
ging of these wells has brought to no
tice is the existence Of fish and crabs
at great depths. The learned engineer

drawn up from depth of $50 feet, and
that moreover, it was of an excellent

What Registered Letters Are.

The question has frequently been
asked us: 'What is the difference between
a registered letter and any other2' The
difference is that registered letter does
not go into the mail proper. 1t passes
rom hand to hand outside the mail bags
every person through whose hands it pass
es being required to sign receipt for il
on passing it over to the next transit
The person holding the last receipt is thus
always able to show who is accountable
for its loss. The responsibility rests on
the man who has signed receipt for the
registered package, and who is not abb
to produce the package or receipt from
somebody csc tor it Where money does
not go to money orler office, 1t shou d
always be sent in registered package
Money ought no to be sent in an ordinary
let cr under any circumstances. There is
no possible way of tracing such letter.

Republican Wisdom.

When the vote tor the State Treasurer
by joint ballot in the Legislature, on 18th
ms ant, it was found that one Republican
Senator and one Republican member Of
the House of Delegates cast their ballet
for the Hon. Barnes Compton in pref renee
to Enoch Pratt, Esq, the Republican eau
Gus nominee This called forth a severe
censure from he Baltimore american on
the two members for their outrageous and
renegade conduct, as it was termed. Sus-
picion was attached, and so published in
that same journal, to the two Lancasters,
members for this county. These genie
men, however, bo'h deny that theirs were
the votes Mr.. Compton received, and the
question is still matter OF conjecture to
our Republican friends, who are much ex-
ercised over the bipartisan action of their
associates. All we have to say to these
two Republicans is that when they so cast
their ba lots, they performed the wisest
action of their lives, by voting for a man
whose honesty, integrity and great adapt
ability for the position, has been proven
by successful and able management Of
the Office for many years.

Small PON.

We have heard of no new develop
ments in this disease during the week
past. except that the entire family of col
ored people at Lothair, in which the first
case was reported, have been stricken
with the disease. We learn that these
people are lying in perfectly helpless
and destitute condi ion, and without
medical attendance or nurses or even the
necessari of life. 1t seems that DR.. Dent
who was the physician in attendance up
on the unfortunate people, has himself
become sick, as result of a recent vacci-
nation, and is at present unable to attend
them, and it is said that the other physi-
clans, vino are quite busy with other pa
tien;s, have declined from prudential rea-
sons to attend the smallpox patients.
This state Of facts having been communi-
Gated to DR.. c. w. Chancellor, he Score
tary of the State Board of Hea tn, that of
fetal has wri ten letter to States A tor
ney Matthews in which he says: Your
Hoard of County Commissioners should
Immediately make the necessary appro-
priation and provide temporary hospi-
al for those who cannot otherwise be
properly cared for. l am at your service,
whenever your Commissioners will take
action and yeu think my presence neces-
sary." Mr.. Thomas Wood, who has ia
ken a most commendable and charitable
interest in the matter, was in town on
Wednesday to apprise the Attorney of The
Board of Commissioners Of the state of af
ia rs, and the communication of DR. Chan
ceilor We understand the mater will be
brought to The attention Of the Board at
their meeting on Tuesday next Mr..
Wood informs US that he has made siren
uous efforts to procure the attendance of
nurses, and had at one time found two
colored persons who had had the disease,
and offered these most liberal compensa-
ton, but they, at the las, hour, failed him.
We understand that efforts are being
made to get nurses in Baltimore, where
we are sure tley can be had. 1t is pro-
posed to make the house at Lothian, where
the destitute family is lying, a temporary
hospital for the care of those stricken
with the disease. This, We think, is a
good suggestion.
