ELECTRIC lights are becoming as familiar
as moonshine everywhere excepting in the
wilds of San Antonio. Will not the Council
run through the city's budget, drop a plum =
met into the treasury for soundings, and guage
the estimates with view TO the construc ton
Of walks, fountains, labyrinths, and such
modern ornamental walks as the room will
warrant, and flooding the whole with an ocean
of the beautiful white light of the electric pat
tern. But the city wants larger and mo re
commodious park at once, surveyed and dedi-
Gated to the future-a pavk of or 50 or 100
acres. Now is the time to place it, not when
the suitable sites shall be covered with houses,
which are going up in all directions as il by
enchantment. Adjust the boundaries of a city
OF $50. 600 people, and lay out the parks and
dedicate them as such. In the meantime,
make things light and lively with wha we
have. Scoot, Councilman.

SOME idea Of the extent of the ravages Of
the cholera in Damietta, Lower Egypt, can be
obtained from the figures, as given by the New
Orleans Times Democrat. "There were 100
on Sunday, IFS on Saturday, Io7 on Friday
and II3 on Thursday, 81 on Wednesday and
az on Tuesday last. When we consider that
Damietta is a town of less than 10000 inhab-
itants it will be seen how fearful is the rate of
mortaliy-over 500 deaths in the six days
since the disease made its appearance, equal
to about 5000 in city of the population OF
New Orleans. Our cable dispatch announces
that the disease on Saturday last made its APP
pearance in Samanud. This town, which is
sometimes known as Semenood, is situated on
the Damietta branch of the Nile, four miles
east OF the Mehallet-el. Keeber, which town is
IS miles southwest OF Damietta. The popu-
lation of Samanud is SMALL"

fired on WoodsOn Dunn, the charge entering
his right groin, passing through his body and
making wound two inches in diameter,
Dunn cannot recover.
