Shortly after the breaking out of the
French Revolution, its advocates de.

human race; that man $50 easy to live
with, who sang the song about himself.

precious for him to admit every stranger

however, had said he should return in an
hour; the secretary, therefore, thought it
his duty to inform Mr.. Pitt of such in.
tention, and ask his further orders in the
affair.

There were pair OF pistols and moroc-

snuff box, in which was set portrait
Is that like our visitor?" asked Pitt
at is the man, sir, answered the
secretary.
Ha, l have expected him for some
days He is sent over to assassinate me ;
so, when he calls again, let him be shown
up"
Sir !" exclaimed the attached retainer,
will you expose to danger your life on
which so much depends ?"
There will be no danger, l thank
you; but you may be within call, if
you please.
Accordingly the Frenchman, on his re-
turn, was ushered into the room where
William Pitt sat alone-a loaded pistol
in one hand, the miniature in the other.
Monsieur Mehee de la Touche, said
Pitt, calmly. "you see l am in every way
prepared for you, thanks to an agent en-
ployed by this Government Attempt my

The intended assassin stood paralyzed
and dumb at this cool reception.

The secretary used to repeat his illustri-

as possible, to the foregoing effect.
The clever miscreant joyfully accepted
these terms, and for many years earned the
brides of spy in our behalf.
No doubt a snuff box was the safest

SEWAGE IRRIGATION IN GERMAN CITIES.
NJ. Durand-C laye, a sanitary engineer of
Paris, has published report on the sys-
tens which are employed in the German
cities of Dantzic, Berlin and Breslau for
the final disposal of sewer water. The
systems of filtering and of precipitation by
chemical agents were tried, but were found
not to effect sufficient publication, and
irrigation was finally chosen as furnishing
on the whole the most economical and sat-
isfactory method. The water is cleansed of
its grosser solids before being pumped up
from the sewers; it is afterward conducted
to the irrigated cities. At Dantz;c the sew.
age is turned upon tract of about l $50
acres of sandy, arid soil, and is led around
beds devoted to the culture of garden vege.
tables. The surplus water, which ia
drained off to the Vistula, has been proved
to have lost seven-eighths of its organic
matter, sixths Of It's ammonia
and one.half of its mineral impuri-
ties. The ground has an excessive alb
sorbing power, and it has been necessary
TO box the main conduits to have any
water left for the smaller irrigating chan
nels. Thus far All acres have been enough
to absorb all the sewage of tho city, indi-
eating an absorbing power of $4,000 cubic
meters a year for each acre. The works
have been made and are kept up without
cost TO the city for the use of the irrigated
lands for thirty years /; and the land is sub.
let to gardeners for from $40 to S2S an acre
The mortality OF the city-one of about
100. 900 inhabitants-has been reduced 81
per cent uudsr the operation OF -tais- sys-
tenn. At Berlin, after some unsatisfactory
experiments with chemical agents irriga-
ton was tried on about fifteen acres Of
land. The tract took in and purifeShs,al
62S cubic meters Of water in year and
nine months, and returned good crops.
The municipality deternIined to treat
all of It's sewer WATERS in the
same way, and bought two tracts, one
of 740 acres, the OTHER, at Osdorf and
Friederickenhof, of 1000 acres. One thou
sand and eighty acres of the latter tract
only have been use%. La addition to the
cultivated plats drained basins are pro.
vided for thes|water that is not needed on
the cropss In which, after deposit about a
foot tt1nick has accumulated, the ground is
dried, dug up. and made ready for cultiva.
/tion in the next year. The waters thus
treated cease to give off odors and lose all
unhygienic properties /; the health of the
workmen and the comfortable occupation
of the neighboring country seats are not
affected by them. The cost Of managing
the lands is betrayed by the sale OF pro.
ducts, so that the city is only at the ex.
pence of pumping up the water. while it is
able to let the lauds at from S24 to S34 an
acre. The city of Breslau uses tract OF
about ] 200 acras. of sIoh q character that
extra drainage is necessary. The irrigated
lands are let to the engineer who con-
structed the works at scale of rents
which is to rice in four years to SIS an
acre.

MY OWE BRIGHT ROSE.


There are gardens and gardens of roses,
All beautiful bright and sweet
But, oh not one do | covet
OF all that chance to meet;
For the brightest rose
Is the one that grows
In my own little home for me;
Aud wherever 90,
Full well do l know
No rose is so dear as she.
Ny Rose has eyes that are browner
Than ever were eyes of gazelle,
And heart that belongs to woman
Whom we should trust long and well.
Not far do roam
From the garden of home
Where my Rose is blooming for me;
For the charm Of nv life
Lies therein the wife
Who is fair and sweet to see.
So bud and blossom, ye roses,
Wherever the gardens grow,
Not sweeter your fragrant blooming
Than the beautiful Rose know.
Nor amongst you there
Is there bud so fair
AS the bud, so dainty and wee,
Which my Rose, so sweet,
To n axe joy complete
Has brought 10 my garden for me.
