Old, Old Cities.


Mr.. James Stephenson of the geolog-
ical survey, has discovered tho site OF
several ancient cities in the San Juan
region, Arizona, which probably have
been deserted since long before the
Christian era. Tho remains belong to
what is called tho stone age, which
was long before metals were used in
tho construction of weapons for war or
domestic utensils for household pur-
poses. Plenty of stone axes and mauls
were found, but iron was evidently I'M
known to the jewellers of these ancient
cities. The houses were peculiar. The
apartments were dug down into the
rock and the oaly entrance was from
the top. Evidently these citiea we're
intended as a place Of refuge in times
of war. There are many antiquities
of this kind in Arizona, New Mexico,
and still further TO tho southwest.
Their great antiquity is shown by the
fact that the geology of these regions
have greatly changed since these cities
were habitable, there aro no traces of
water in places which formerly must
have been denscly populated; when, of
course, that liquid must have been =
primo necessity and easily procurablc.
Young Americans who think of tray
cling to Nineva, Babylon, Egypt and
other eastern regions filed with ruins
of ancient empires, would do we'll to
look at remains equally as remarkable
in their own country.

COMMUNICATED
Neither System Endorsed.


SAVANNAH, July S1.-EditOr Morning
NelcS: Your report of the opinions given
by physicians at the meeting of Council
last night upon the sanitary influence of
the privy vaults of the city, says thatin a
written communication l endorse the
present system of privy vaults in prefer
ence TO that in use prior to 1872
As the subject is Of Uerg great impor-
lance TO the public welfare, desire to be
recorded correctly and therefore ask that
YOU publish the following extract from my
communication:
/ consider the present system Of building,
cementing and emptying privy vaults as a
great improvement upon that IOrmeriY IN
vogue, because it does 10 a great extent pre-
vent the pollution Of the soil ana Wen water
through infilIrauon. But i think that IN a
city like this. where the heat OF the climate
renders liability to filth diseases exceptionally
great, and which as a seaport Is peculiarly
exposed to the Introduction of cholera, dis
ease spread principally by the percOlation OF
intestinal discharges Into the drinking water,
any system Is bad Schieh permits the dccUalsta-
tiOH and accessory fermentation Of focal matter.
This language cannot, / conceive, be
construed as an Endorsement Of either the
present system or the old one.
j. G. LEHARDY.
-FOUR report can hardly be construed as
making the doctor indorse either system,
but only as giving one system the prefer
ence over the other,

The Arrest of Well Known Congress
Street Restaurauteur Creates Stir in
Magistrate TysOn's Office.
Magistrate Tyson's Office was the scene
Of a lively excitement early yesterday
afternoon, caused by the forcIble deten-
ton of Charles Graham b. Constable
WetherhOrn. A crowd collected as the
constable marched Mr.. Graham into the
Magistrates office. such a proceeding
was unusual. A MORNING News re-
porter was there. Mr.. Graham stated that
the constable entered his place of bust
ness, the Merchants Exchange Restau-
rant, on Congress street, with warrant
for the arrest of a negro named Lewis.
Upon being told that there was no such
person there. the constable said that the
negro whom Graham called Abel was the
man he wanted. Graham told him that he
could not arrest Abel as he had no war
rant for him-the warrant he had
being for another party. Alter
some discussion, the constable walk
ed behind the bar to take his
man, when Graham interp0sed and
the officer, seizing Graham, carried him
before the Magistrate, IL is alleged using
harsh and unnecessary means. Leaving
him at the Office, he went back and brought
the negro. Several gentlemen and prOmi-
nent citizens who witnessed the
affair characterized the rough
handling which, it is alleged,
the constable gave Mr.. Graham, as
altogether uncalled for. Mr.. Graham's
friends rushed into the Office, and upon
their advice a warrant was sworn out
against the constable charging him with
assault and battery, and also peace
warrant ordering him to keep the peace.
The warrant was issued by Magistrate
Molina. The constable employed Den
mark & Adams to represent him and the
complainant employed GarTard & Mel
dim. The officer gave bonds to
keep the peace, and will appear before
the next term of the City Court for trial.
There are two sides to every story. The
officer claims that he did what was right
in the discharge of his duty when resisted
in making the arrest which he intended
to make when he went into Graham 5
place. He claims to have been Obstructed
and acted unOu his Judgment

Does IL PAY to Talk?

Some say yes, some say no-when it is
based on facts it carries a necessary
weight.
We have talked good deal lately to the
public, and we are now satisfied that it
has been of great benefit to us and to our
patrons. We have made a great many
new customers and also have welcomed
a large number of old ones. All have been
greatly surprised at our prices and have
eagerly awaited themselves of the oppor-
tunity to replenish their wardrobes at
profitable saving. Since l have intro
duced my fashionable and well made
clothing the tailor shop has lost its
charms for very large class of people,
and really the difference is no difference
at all, as by my system of having all of my
suits made according to special super
vision and instruction there can be no
possible chance of misfit or lack of
variety of shapes and patterns. L am
using every effort now to run down my
summer stock of Clothing, Hats, Furnish
ing Goods, ETC., before change of season
ensues, and price is no object. 100 Brough-
