Wooden Houses-Build Them.

Editor Morning NelCS: If l mistake
not, the City Council will take final ac-
ton at the next meeting relative to eX-
tending the boundary line whereat and to
what point wooden buildings can be
erected. Where there are brick buildings
mostly, and where common policy would
dictate that there should be nothing but
brick, 1t is well for the public safety to
so direct by proper legislation. But
where there are no buildings of brick
near. and where private residences would
be built, then it is best to leave the
character of the structure to the taste
and the condition of ones pocketbOok.
But the objection will be raised as to
the danger Of fire, and the burning of
other buildings, Take Congress street,
with fire in any of those brick stores
and a stiff wind blowing, and who would
guarantee the saving of the adjoining
stores: Look to the fires in Chicago, Bos-
ton and many other places where all was
brick. But the brick is the safest of the
two, admit, and should be used where
stores are to be built and where there
should be uniformity.
But in this day of fire proof paint, which
was lately tested in our city and proved
to be fire resistive, and with houses COW
cred with tin roofs, private residences
could be made fire proof in what might be
called common fire; that is, with little
wind and the engines properly worked
l mean in the saving Of adjoining build
ings of wood if painted with fire proof
paint.
Again, if one puts up a wooden build
ing, he will no doubt insure it, though he
may pay a little more for insurance for
the pleasure of living in a wooden build
ing, which in this climate, as regards
health and ventilation, is the best.
1t is not wise to interfere with the de-
yelopment of a city, unless it can be
shown that the benefit of few might in
jure the interests of the many. such is
not the case at this present time, and it
will be well enough eight or ten years
hence to extend the limits as to wooden
houses. The trouble with many legisla-
tors is an ambition to legislate for TOs-
terity, when the wise legislator never
looks beyond his own time. The City
Council should not legislate beyond their
day, for those who will come after them
will legislate for their day, and so on.
Lynceus of old was so far-sighted that ne
could see fifty miles off, and could also
see through a mountain, but it so hap
pened that he could not see the dangers
ten feet from him. So with hundreds who
think to legislate for time hence, and not
time now. r. NJ. o.

struck with a Rock.

1t was reported on the streets yesterday
that a negro named John Harris, COM
monty known as sonny Harris, living
in Iamacraw, had killed his wife. This
was found to be incorrect, however. The
facts are these: On Sunday night Harris
struck his wife in the forehead with a
brick. inflicting an ugly wound, and rem
dering her unconscious until early yes
terday morning. a large crowd of ne
grOes cOngregated about the house and
policeman was sent for, who arrested
Harris and took him to the barracks. In
the Police Court he stated that
the injury was not done in
tenti0nallv, as he and his wife were ''Only
skylaFking." His wife, who had recOY-
cred sufficiently 10 appear in court, stated
that she did not wish to prosecute him,
and he was fined five dollars, which he
paid and was released. Last night the
woman suffered a relapse from the con-
cussiOn of the wound, and serious conse-
quences are feared. The case was at
tended by DIR. Chisholm.

The Letter Carriers in Knee-Breeches.

The Letter Carriers IN -Bfeecnes'
There has been some rumOr that the
Postmaster General is considering the adj
visibility of substituting knee-breeches
for the gray trousers worn by the letter
carriers. 1t is hardly possible TO see what
advantage would result from the change,
and the rumor is generally not credited.
The law requires all carriers to be uni
formed, and the Postmaster General has
the authority to name the kind of uniform
that they shall wear. The Postmaster
General and the heads of the various de-
partments of the post office are not, how
ever, required to wear unifOrmss If
the change should be made the
carriers wBIld, for time at
least. be the object of great deal of Curl
Osity. To see our carriers in Savannah
bobbing about in white stockings, low
shoes, and breeches buckled at the knees,
would be a cause for alarm at the sanity
of the authorities who ordered the change.
The New York papers are disposed to
treat the matter as sort of joke, but the
source of information being considered re-
liable, it is hardly known in what light
to look upon il.
