ONE by one the cherished legends OF our
childhood are disputed and disproyed.
The desecrating footstep Of cold fact in
vades the sacred realm OF fancy and destroys
its idols. We are robbed first Of our faith
in fairies and giants, then Of the legends
of history that we have most highly
priced, and now the bold, unpoetic survey
ors ruthlessly carry the innovation into our
own home, and unblushingly tell us that
the District of Columbia never was exactly
ten miles square.
Think of the orators who have boasted
of the ten miles of Federal territory, Of
the histories and guidebooks, of the lessons
to confding and unsuspecting youth, and
now to tell us that we were made 63 feet
too long in one direction and 263 feet TOO
long in another
There might be some comfort in the
theory that with the glorious develop.
ment of tho District we had expanded 0
little, but no-the messy monuments
erected by Ellicott in 179l have been res
cued from swampy oblivion or crumblinl
ruin and mark the four corners and tel
us the awful tale that we were mismeas
ured in every direction.

An Infamous System.

While this country is just closing the
exciting scenes of Presidential election,
over in Ireland there are scenes transpiring
that should cause the blush Of shame to
mantle the cheek of every friend of Eng
land all over the world. In the Green Isle
men are being imprisoned in every county
and in every parish because Of their hatred
Of tyranny and devotion TO the rights of
man. In County Sligo, some two weeks
ago. John DAILY and q number of other
friends of Irish freedom were tried for con-
spiracy, and convicted ON testimony that
would not hang dog in this country,
When other means of conviction had
failed one Moran, an "informer" or zap
prover," as they are called-a co.conspiratoi
with Daly-a perjured villain, whichev OF
way he is looked at, was put on tho stand
and, by foreswearing himself-by violati nG
the VOWS he took when he entered the
organization Of the friends of Irish freedom
--he convicted Daily and others, some be-
ing sentenced to penal servitude for life
some for twenty years, and some for lesser
periods,
The entire proceedings were infamous
utterly iniamous-a blot on modern ciyli
zation--a crime against our common hui
manity, and it will make English justice d
byword and reproach to the rcmotest bound
Of civilization. No wonder the Irish people
are fleeing from their native land as If II
were accursed--as II II was death and pol
luton to remain in such land governed
as 1t is, by fraud, force, perjury, subOrna-
tion OF PERJURY, and other crimes too nu-
merous to mention in brief note like this.
We are told, by men whose word on any
other subject would be considered as good
as bond, that the trial of DAILY is type of

THE annual report Of Assistant Engineer
Commissioner f. V. Greene is a document
Of unusual interest The facts and figures
set forth tell the story of the progress of the
city, the march of improvement OF avenues
and streets, the development of the sewer
age system, the progress of the warfare
against overhead electric wires and other
questions of vital importance to the well
fare of our citizens.
The results attained, the progress made
and the plans proposed give the gratifying
assurance that the affairs of tho District
Engineer Department are intelligently
and successfully administered and are en-
trusted to capable hands.

THE survey Of county streets and roads
is matter of great Importance, and its
successful accomplishment will have an
immediate beneficial influence upon the
development of the city north of Boundary
street. As long as the directions of streets
and avenues beyond the Boundary re-
NAMED in doubt, building in the suburbs
was an uncertain undertaking
With the completion of the survey an as
turance is given of a regularly planned OK
tension of the city, conforming with its
Ilan of streets and harmonizing with the
general scheme Of radiating avenues.

The assurance that Captain Greene gives
in his report that the rotten wooden block
pavements that once extended over miles
Of the city streets has now been reduced to
minimum and will disappear with the
march of improvements during the coming
year, is gratifying in the extreme.
For many years the decaying blocks
were the greatest drawback which the city
suffered and it was to their determination
that the Engineer Department devoted its
best energies and with success that is
gratefully recognized aud appreciated.

 nut into flour. aud say it makes a palatable "biscuit." In Georgia there is a custom, now growing old, of grinding or pounding the shelled peanuts and turning them into pas try, which has some resemblance, both ln looks and taste, to that of cocoanut, but the peanut pastry is more oily and richer, and, we think, healthier and better every way. If, as some believe, Africa sent a curse to Amerlca in slavery, she certainly conferred upon her blessing in the universally popular peanut, which grows so we'll throughout the South ern regions that we shall soon be able to cut off tue now large i'm portation altogether.-Savannah Tel egram.

Ancient Mining.

Many centuries ago the ancient Greeks operated lead mines in North ern Greece by methods so imperfect as to leave large quantity of metal still h the residum Of the working. A number cf years ago a French mining engineer made an analysis of the debris of these old mines, with results so satisfactory that the busl, ness of re-working the enormous heaps of scor1e was at once begun and carefully carried on. These Op- erations for considerable length of time furnished the greater part of the lead supply of the Mediterranean coast. Explorations have recently been made by some enterprising per sons in some old Ph@nician mines of Cyprus, which disclose the existence of rich placers of mineral wealth in the old workings of the extinct mines of that island.-MiniHg Review.

When a man whose soul Is in margins dons a spike-t tailed coat and white chCker, pays $40 for four tick cts, and props himself up 1n a box at grand opera for a night of "pleas ure," the spectacle would melt the stoutest heart.

Other sorrows may make him act the same way.

About the Man Who Waits

After the stove pipe had been knocked down by the efforts of Give adam Jonss to rest both his fact on the hearth at once, and Judge Cadaver, Pickles Smith and Blossom Johnson had heroically restored it to place, Brother Gardner arose and sad:
 One great cause of human misery am de fack dat mankind expects too much of Providence. Take de case of Elder Toots, fur instance. Fur de last sixty y'ars he has been waitin fur Providence to stop de leaks in his cabin roof, an he am waitin' yet. He somehow expecks dat Providence am goin, to furnish him pie an cake, an when he sots down to 'taters an turf meat he feels as If he had been wronged.
 Take de ease of Bradawl Jalap. He has allus had do idea dat be would some day be rich, an as . conscience he sots on de fence an plans new houses, an drives fast bosses, an wares good clothes, while his wife goes ragged, an his chil- dren have cold toes. What he might airn by honest labor he won't airn, bekase he hopss to get fortune wid- out wurk.
 Il tell you my friens, de man who waits fur tomorrer ter shrapen hls ax, am sartain to do poor choppin.' De man who sots on de fence to wait fur legacy will h'ar his a scrapin' de bottom of de flour barrel ebery day in de week. De man who lets himself believe dat dc world owes him libin' am gwine ter eat some mighty poor fodder before he dies. De world don't owe nobody nuffiu.'
