HEALTH-GIvING WATER.
An Appeal for the Preservation of
the Ola Spring On Louisiana
hyanua

An Appeal for the Preservation OF
the Old Spring On Louisiana
Avenue.
There was never discovered in the noun
tains Of Virginia better sulphur and Chaly-
beate water than that which was pumped
from well IN the rear of Ford's Opera
House, on Louisiana avenue. The pump
was used so constantly by thirsty multi
tudes that il cost infinite trouble and not o
little money to keep ii in repair, and finally
q surface-vein Of foul water entered the
well through the decayed timber of which
tho pump was made, and the city's rulers
were apparently glad of pretext for tho
abandonment Of tho troublesome we'll. Old
citizens say that there was famed spring,
in the olden time, beneath this decayed
pump. George Washington and old George
Mason, in the summer of 1868, met at this
spring, with their households, and spent a
week in cabins
While many personsbelieve that Bright's
disease springs from tho use of hydrant
water, there was never more perfect diu-
retic than that furnished by this well,
whose living waters were strongly impreg-
mated with sulphur and iron.
Can't the city government be induced to
drive down an iron tube to the water of the
buried spring and attach proper pump I?
The cost will be triflpg and the good done
infinite. Barkeepers say, however, that
they will be losers. People who drink
water freely never enter bar-rooms.
Alexander II. Stephens always drank the
water from this old well, and its living
waters, if suffered to reach tho sunlight,
would forever reflect his memory in their
limpid waves.

A LiFE-sAyINC APPARATUS,
A Valuable Invention by n washing,
rns.

son Clerk.
Mr.. John II. Dickerson, Of the Pension
Office has invented an apparatus for saving
life at the river resorts, which, by its sim.
plicity and practicablity, must commend
itself to the good sense Of many. Mr.. Dick
erson has been living with his family In
his cottage at Colonial Beach for some time,
and has had occasion to observe tho mad
equacy Of tho provisions for saving life In
case any one should fall from the wharf or
steamboat near the wharf. On week ago
last Sunday his own child fell into the
water from the wharfand was rescued with
great difficulty. The Critic the other
day contained an account Of tho rescue Of
boy at Chapel Point by young Harry
Courtney. Had young Courtney not been
at hand the little boy would probably have
drowned for want Of proper provisions for
his rescue.
Mr.. Dickerson has been studying tho
question recently, and has contrived an APP
paratus which he took down 10 Colo
NAL Beach yesterday and erected on the
wharf. 1t consists of spruce-pno pole IL feet
long, about 2 inches in diameter. On tho end
Of the pole arc three graphing hooks, bent
in such way that while they would hook
into persons clothing they would not In
lure his skin. The hooks are of wrought
iron. The pole is tastefully painted. He
has also ladder Z feet In length, light but
strong. Near one end arc two hooks, which
are intended TO grasp the wharf when the
ladder is let down over the side into the
water. When theladder is lowered ono can
descend on 1t, and, reaching with the pole,
could grasp anyone within reasonable
distance. He has also coil Of a-inch hemp
rope so feet long, having graphing hooks
on one end and moose at the other. Hook.
ing the graphing irons to the wharf ono
can put the moose around his body and swim
out for fifty feet, certain Of being pulled
back again should his strength give out.
Mr.. Dickerson believes that no has pro-
vided for every sort of accidental falling
into the water about the wharves, and
thinks that an arrangement similar to his
would prevent loss of life. Friends to
whom the apparatus has been shown concur
in this belief. The apparatus will DO kept
on the end Of the wharf, in constant readi-
ness, placard attached, reading; "For
| life saving only"

A GOOD SEND-OFF.
Departure of the Light Infantry for
Long Branch Saturday Night.


Long Branch Saturday Night.
The Washington Light Infantry Corps
were rendered an ovation on Saturday
night on their departure for Long Branch.
The corps did not leave their temporary
srmory until after 10 o'clock, and marched
along + street to Fifteenth, returning by
way of the Avenue to the Baltimore & Po-
tomac depot.
An immense crowd accompanied the SOL
diers, while the sidewalks were thronged
with enthusiastic spectators, and at almost
every step Roman candle or skyrock OF
burst heavenward, or red light threw its
brilliance over the scene. Cheer after
cheer and yell after yell greeted the In
fantry after they turned into the Avenue,
and from nearly every building fireworks
were discharged or calcium lights and col
ored fires displayed.
The depot was reached at the appointed
time and demonstrative multitude found
i'll waiting. Among the crowd were the
honorary members and Others who were to
accompany the corps. The gates were soon
thrown open, and the warriors and their
guests swarmed in to the train that was in
waiting.
The crowd that had assembled to bid
farewell to the popular command did so in
most emphatic and boisterous manner,
crowding tho platforms and cheering
Justify until the train had moved out of the
depot. The fireworks displays continued
at the railroad crossings in the southern part
Of the city.
The train comprised thirteen cars and &C.

GASOLINE STOVE BURSTS
And Causes Serious Injury 10 MIR.
Justus RathbOne.

Mr.. Justus Rathbone met with a serious
accident yesterday, which nearly cost him
his life. With several other clerks in tho
Adjutant- Generals Office he started down
the river to Fort Foote Saturday evening in
a sailboat. They have boathouse at this
point, and in getting breakfast the gasoline
stove bursted when Mr.. Rathbone was
bending over it cooking. He was covered
with the burning fluid, and his eyebrows,
moustache and part of his hair were burned
off, and both hands were badly cut and
burned by pieces Of the flying stove. He
had the presence Of mind to oxtinguish the
flames in his clothes before he rushed out on
the wharf, where his companions gathered
around him. They had to row to Alexan-
dria, a distance Of four miles, before medi-
cal assistance could be secured. When he
arrived at his home, No. 927 L street, DR..
Gibbs attended him. He pronounced his
injuries as serious but not dangerous unless
erysipelas sets in.

per OF the South TO say: tive should not be
surprised to see half the Southern States 90
Repubiican four years from now, II Blaines
administration is conservative, American,
comparatively non-partisan and able, as It no
doubt will be. The masses Of the people In
the South are heartily tired OF feasting upon
Bourbon sentiment and half ratlons, living in
log huts and wearing ragged clothes. They
have started out In earnest to better their con-
dftion by adopting the methods OF the more
prosperous States, which were clear from the
curse OF slavery that 80 long blighted this fair
land, and they intend TO jealousy watch any
thing In the way OF their progress, and eagerly
adopt anything to their advantage In the line
of progression toward independence, comfort
and equality with tho more fortunate and ad-

that Judas was personally prepared for his
