officer whose use Of intoxicating liquors

charity or assistance may DO extended to
such officers should be given when they

To The Editor.
The citizens Of East Washington, near
Eleventh street, have been gasping for
breath and suffering from incipient throat
and lung troubles during the present dry
and heated term in consequence of the
clouds Of dust, laden with malarial germs,
that have hung over the above named
street. The nuisance had become intol-
cradle, and few days since the residents
on Eleventh street sent in petition to
the commissioners asking for the paving
of the street. Yesterday the petitioners
wero surprised by the appearance of the
chain gang and dozen carts, and, with
hoes and shovels and brooms, in eight
hours the force had removed the accumu-
lation of u century of deposits, and dis
| closed lying beneath solid and perfect
pavement, tho existence of which the
residents had no suspicion of. The sur
prises attending the explorations Of the
sites of the buried cities of the past are
ever fresh and matter of course; but in
this, the handsomcst and cleanest city of
the world, that paved street should be
buried and forgotten In the words of
Holy Writ, Tell it not to Gath, and pub
lish it not in the streets of Asphaltdom."
