vention to consider the subject, and Mr.. Good
win was called upon TO make a statement OF
his plan. Mr.. Goodwin's remarks are also re-
ported SO that the readers of the PRESS this
morning have the whole matter laid before
them. He did not state the cost Of his pro-
posed sewer but he intmated that it would be
much less than the cost Of two sewers, and
probably less than the cost of the high level
sewer proposed by Mr.. Shedd which involved
good deal Of deep digging. Mr.. Goodwin was
freely questioned by the members of the City
Council. He stated that the sewers proposed
by him would be adequate to dispose of the
sewage of population of $4,000 on the north
ern slopes and levels of the city, and would
serve every exigency for at least twenty-five
years. Upon these representations, the City
Council without a dissenting vote, expressed
an opinion favorable to his scheme, which pre-
sumably determines definitely the whole ques-
ton, and doubtless the work will begin and
make some progress the present season.
Mr.. Goodwin took care to state very clearly
that Mr.. Shedd's scheme was thoroughly sci
entific, and professionally the most complete
as system, if the city felt able to complete
the work as a whole; and he presented his al
tentative as preferable only on grounds Of
economy, if it was desired to give relief to the
whole district, from which complaints come at
the earliest practicable moment.
The special committee has not completed its
work, and will probably soon recommend def
mite measures to improve the sanitary condi-
ton of the city in respect to the other matters
so suggestively treated of in Mr.. Shedd's re-

The Back Bay Sewer.

The report Of Mr.. j. Herbert Shedd, the
OWL engineer called into consultation by the
special Committee on the Back Bay nuisance,
printed in the supplement to-day, deserves and
will receive the attention of those who have
taken any interest in the serious problems
with which the city has to deal. There is very
much in this report besides what relates to the
question of an intercepting sewer, that ia of
great value; but the action of the committee
and of the City Council last evening with re-
gard to the sewer question, rejecting Mr..
6hedds scheme, and adopting plan designed
by Mr.. Goodwin, the City Civil Engineer, gives
that subject prominence to-day.
Before Mr. Shedd was called in the com.
mittee had had long conference with the
City Civil Engineer, in which he had elabor-
ately set forth his plan for remedying
the evils complained of by the construction
Of low level interceptiDg sewer in the Back
Bay beyond the outlets of the present sewers
which were to be extended to connect with it.
Mr.. Goodwin thinks 1t practicable to construct
such sewer which will empty itself below
Tukey's bridge without pumping machinery
with satisfactory freedom. Mr.. Shedd pro-
posed two intercepting sewers one emptying by
gravity and taking much the larger portion of
the sewage of the Northern and Western
slopes, the other low level sewer to be
emptied by pumping He thought that the
building Of the gravity sewer would suffice
for all present needs, and that the other might
be left to be completed at some future day.
5 Many members of the City Council besides
those on the special committee were somewhat
familiar with Mr.. Good wins proposition and
were inclined to favor it. because they did not
see their way clear to build but one sewer and
this one appeared more likely to give relief to
all the citizens than the gravity sever on a
higher level proposed by Mr.. Shedd.
At meeting of the special committee on
Wednesday evening majority of those pres
emit expressed preference for another plan
than that proposed by Mr.. Shedd The mat
ter was discussed at some length and the COM
mittee, instead of presenting majority and mi
nority reports, decided to have statement of
the considerations advanced by the supporters
of either scheme prepared by its secretary to
be submitted to the City CouDcil with the
statement that!at that meeting four members
were in favor of and five opposed to Mr.
Shedd's scheme. This report is published in
the proceedings of the city government.
When the report had been presented and
read to both branches, they met in joint con-

brewers.

The New York Sun finds curious anal
ogy between Mr.. Beecher's position as the
one person responsible for the Joy scandal
against Mr. Blaine and that of the Harris
burg Patriot in regard to the falsehood
about the bribery of Blaine by Bill Kemble.
The Harrisburg newspaper attributed to
Mr.. Bergner the statement that he had seen
and examined the checks paid by Kemble to
Blaine in payment for the exercise of
Blsine's official power in Kemble's behalf.
Mr.. Beecher attributes to Mr.. Joy the state
ment that Blaine had asked him for bride
money. Mr.. Bergner Immediately repudi-
ated the statement, and Kemble denied the
transaction. Mr. Joy has promptly relieved
Mr.. Blaine of the weight of this second ac-
cusatien of bribe-seeking. There remains
of either story nothing but the unsupported
charge of an accu ser who summons his wit
ness only to be squarely contradicted.

THE HUNTER CATS OLE connonrnA


This little book, written by Fl Fl. and pub.
lished by Roberts Bros. presents to the reader
in striking contrast, childhood amid the mex
orable restraints and formalities of the aristo-
eracy of the Old World and the refreshing
freedom and naturalness of the Republican
New World, which we instinctively feel is
NJ ans native air. The story is brisKly told, ard
affords pleasing recreation for an hour, but
we must always regret that an author, possess
ing the rare gift of pleasing children, should be
content to use her talent, for merely negative
good, since the hearts and minds of the young
are better satisfied with tales, imparting some
instruction, and Installing moral, than by
thor, without lament, that she makes the
Hunter CATS and their raids upon the inno-
cent linnets, the central pivot upon which the
book turns. Young hearts, naturally respon-
sive to all Gods creation, shrink from cruelty
to the meanest member of the animal kingdom
and should be kept as long as possible, in SYM
patty with nature, through which God so
beautifully reveals himself to his children.
The experiences of life tend to harden and
paralyze our finer sentiments. Even when
the necessity of self-preservation, and the sus.
tenance OF man require the obstruction of the
low or orders of animal life, it should be kept
out of sight, in the child's education, until
reason, in some measure, com pretending the
complex relations in the universe, can appre.
ciate the need of sacrificing the lesser to
greater good. While our bodies must grow
old and our physical senses lose their keenness
of apprehension, may our hearts, to the last,
keep young enough to recoil at reckless sacri-
fee of the birds, Gods sweetest messengers of
love.

AS the Indians are fast disappearing great
er interest is being felt in them, and any infor-
nation concerning their manners and customs,
and more especially their folklore is eagerly
sought after Mr.. Leland who has written SO
entertainingly of the Gypsiss, has collected
and published in one volume number of leg
ends of the Wabanaki, or New England and
New Brunfwick tribes of the Algonquin Indi-
ans-the most widely extended of the six chief
divisions of the Indians OF North America.
Their myths differ in marked degree from
those of the more southern tribes, and bear q
strong resemblance to the old Morse sagas,
many legends being similar to, and some, in
deed, almost identical with those of the Scan
dinavian mythology. Their chief divinity,
Glooskap, has many traits similar to those Of
Odin and Thor, and to the mischievous Lox
are given some of the same adventures as to
the Morse Loki whom he resembles in charac-
ter. AS Mr.. Leland says: "This American
mythology of the North, which is the very last
to be known to American readers, is literally
so nearly like the Edda itself that there is
hardly sobg in the Morse collection which does
not contain an incident found in the Indian po-
em-legendS, while in several there are many
such Condolences" The book is of great
value, aud highly interesting both to students
of arcl zoology aud to the general reader and
the wouder is that this vast field has not been
discovered and explored before. When the
Indian stall have departed regret will be
be felt that fuller Investigations have not beeu
made. Much credit is due Mr.. Leland for his
untiriDg exertions is procuring such varied in
'rmafiop concerning these early possessors of
New England.
No magazine story has for long time given
rise to so much discussion as Mr.. Stockton's
THE Lady or the Tiger" and satisfactory
explanation of it will probably never be given.
It is now published in neat little volume
with several other stories, equally remarkable
for the surprise of their plot and for the deli
cate humor which Mr., Stockton possesses in so
marked degree. Notable among these sto-
ries is Son the Training OF Parents," the good
humored sarcasm of which might be of benefit
:" some parents whose children rule the house,
hold.
The latest issue of the Knickerbocker Series,
Hand and Ring" is by Anna Katharine
Green, and is written in her most exciting and
intense style. The plot is very ingeniously
constructed, showing a fertility of invention
worthy of Wilkie Collins. The interest is well
sustained, the reader being kept in suspense
almost TO the very end. The characters are
drawn with firm, strong hand, and the de-
} nouement is highly dramatic.
