A correspondent Of the London Globe,
writing about the indifference Of the
Oriental to filth, says they regard the pol
luton of wells with unconcern which is
amazing. Most natives, even Of the high
est caste, have no objection TO use, both
for domestic and drinking purposes, water
which may be described simply as filthy.
People wash their clothes and themselves
in tanks from which the women take
home water for cooking and drinking.
The only desideratum is that the water
shall be '|soft.' In some places it has
been found useful to set apart by munich
pal authority certain tanks for washing,
and others for the supply Of drinking
water, but the regulation can only be car
ried GU: by appointing watchmen to en-
force it. Satisfactory progress has been
made in improving the water sup
ply Of the great cities, and
it would seem that as regards
some of these there is not now very much
to complain Of. An example of the dam
ger incurred by English soldiers from
drinking impure water is afforded by an
instance reported from Kamptee. A de-
tachment Of the Second Battalion of the
Thirteenth Regiment stationed there suf-
fered from an outbreak Of enteric fever.
1t was speedily noticed that nearly all the
patients were teetotalers, and it turned
out that the teetotal soldiers had recrea-
ton room of their own, where they drank
tea, coffee, arated waters, and what was
supposed to be pure water. On examina-
ton, however, il was found that the latter
fluid was drawn from well close at
hand, which had been polluted by percola-
ton from neighboring drains. The other
men had not drunk from this well, and
nearly all escaped the epidemic.

During the present week the inhabi-
tants Of the Atlantic Coast States had
better tie themselves fast if they place
the remOtest confidence in the prophetic
powers Of Virgins and Yennor. Yennor
has gone over to Virgins. In spite of the
lamentable failure of the last mentioned
prophet during February, YennOr practi-
cally accepts his representations for
March. lie, however, does not dwell
particularly upon the predicted hur-
ricanes Of the sth and' 9th.
He prints in his Bulletin a column or
so OF able astronomical matter 10 show
that Mr.. Virgins is not quite 50 prof.
cient as he might be in the science Of

those DAYS in March are more foreboding
than in February. The readers have not

has been said to show that we must not

Attractions at the Theatre-Strauss'
MERRY War"

merry War;
During the engagement Of Chas. E.
Ford's English Comic Opera Company at
the Savannah Theatre next week Johann
Strauss, the Waltz King, last and justly
famous operate success, entitled .'The
Merry War;" will be sung by this COM
pany, and those who missed hearing this
opera last fall will have one more oppor-
-tunity to enjoy its captivating music. We
republish the following extract from
the Charleston Ne,rs and Courier:
"a large audience assembled at the
Academy Of Music to witness the initial
performance in this city Of Strauss
''Merry War by Chas. f. Ford's Comic
Opera Company. The opera, which is
one Of the most enjoyable and amusing Of
Strauss compositions was excellently
rendered, and the chorus, as well as the
different performers, were repeatedly
encOred. The music, like all Of
Strauss, is bright and yiyacious,
Astounding in sprightly and charm
ing passages, and almost every charac-
ter, when properly represented, may
alternate with others in being the leading
one of the play. Mr.. Philip Branson. in
the character Of 'UmbertO Spinola,' played
and sang the part Of the General in a
happy manner. Charles ii. Drew is an
old Charleston favorite. and took the part
Of the Marquis in capital style. His song
in the first act Of The easiestway's the
best was sung with great effect. AS the
Dutch tulip planter George Denham
was simply immense, his eXcTuciatingly
funny style cOnyulsing the audience with
laughter. Miss Blanche Chapman played
Elsa. GrOot's wife, in her usual
sprighfly manner. Her duet with Bait
haser' in the third act was one Of the fea-
lures Of the performance. AS the sCOun-
tess Of LOmelline,' Miss Marie BOeckel
never appeared To better advantage. nor
did she ever sing better. This was shown
By the numerous recalls she received
Miss GenevieYe Reynolds acquitted her.
