The Singers and the Critics.

Singers love newspaper critics very
dearly, and make it q rule to repeat in
their presence what they say behind
their backs. Two famous ARTISTS
were standing on Broadway the other
morning tearing out their hair over a
criticism which had appeared in one OF
the daily papers in which they had
been likened to a pair of ''braying
jackasses."
'.Mio caror' shouted the tenor, the
hairs of whose mustache stood up like
SO many pikestaffs; ''do you efer read
somesing like zatP'
dot loafer vas so trunk lest nide, "
growled the baritone, carving the air
in his fury, ''zat he dom vas apP to saw
re stage. He. don't know no more
aboud ze moosic of re gr-rand mastaire
zan ze hQrse-car!'
'.Eef efer zee zat fel'," exclaimed
the baritone, II will smesh ze nose in
his FACET
just then the critic came along, and
the worthy melody murderers hastened
toward him with outstretched arms.
''Mio nior' exclaimed the tenor;
chow veil you looking zis mornin' =,

&c mos peautiful-a noteece in the

'.Eef could write likr-a zat Would

Then they hurried away and pledged
each other in Apollinaris watcr.-NeaO

Draperies.

Curtains are arranged every sort of
disarranged way, that is, iregularly,
and in the extreme of informality.
A lace and plush, or colored curtain
of any other kind, may now be draped
on the same window, one at each side.
One fancy is to have one side OF &
pair of curtains fall loose to the floor,
while the other is draped with q chain
of cut brass, or other fastening
In some instances one window cur
tain is draped high, the other low, and
an irregular scarf draping in place of
lambrequin, whether this style is
adopted with the curtains or not, is in
favor with many.
Madras hangings retain their popu-
larity, and justly. These fabrics arc
brought out in the India and chintz de-
signs so much enjoyed at present,
wherever they can be used. .s
Hard-work is largely used in drapery
decoration, and elaborate bands of
''darned-work" are being placed on
white scrim and grenadine curtains.
A set in cheese cloth, intended for
the bedroom of a Newport cottage, is
lined with shell-pink siIcsia, the darned
work being set between insertion an
inch wide, on olive macreme.
Double disk, or two rings, linked
one within the other, form favorite
device for hand decorated and other
draDeries.

COMMUNICATES.

Editors !Shepherdstown Register.-The fol-
lowing extract from an article on "MoG-
ern Sanitary Engineering" in the April
number of Haysir's Magazine, should be
read with much interest by all of our
citizens:
"Closely allied to drainage. another i'm
portant sanitary question claims attention
the pavement and care of streets. 1t is
Only quite recently that the sanitary as
poets of this question have forced them
selves OIL public attention. Dirty streets
have been looked upon as an annoyance,
as otstructing travel, as altogether too
untidy for q respectable population; but
the effect upon public health of the pecu-
liar refuse which accumulates in streets,
when decomposition of the organic matter
which it contains takes place, has only
recently become fully appreciated. VI
all organic refuse, that which accumulatcs
in the streets of Il city is perhaps the most
complex in the elements which compose
it. There is no name for it, but its soluble
constituents are known to penetrate the
soil and where these are not Immediately
drained off the ground air becomes often
sive and unhealthy. This gaseous form
of matter penetrates into easements and
cellars land into wells and cisterns), and
finds its way even through solid walls
into the interior OF dwellings. Thus not
only OIL the surfa ccs of streets, where the
grosser forms of street filth meet the eye,
but in the pores of the soil, into which
the soluble constituents penetrate, these
miasm are generated"
The attention of our council is respect
fully called to the filthy condition OF
some of the streets and alleys of our
town, and especially to the alley running
past the postofiice. Piles Of fermenting
manure and refuse of all sorts are allowed
to accumulate, and heavy rain, instead
of cleaning the alley, only distributes the
poison among the neighborins wells and
cisterns. If there is no law against this
outrage on society and against the filthy
pig pens in that and other localities in
our town, the sooner one is enacted the
better it will be for the health and com.
fort Of the inhabitants of our town.

A Fatal Ride.

Charles Wharta1 and Charles Young,
residents of Berkeley Springs, w. Va,
were found last Friday morning lying Oh
the Baltimore and Ohio track ut Cumber-
land, near the rolling mill, and not far
from the Queen City Hotel. Young had
his head split open from front to back, and
his death is certain, as he was rapidly
sinking when the train left, at one O'Clock
i'm the afternoon. lie is only twenty years
old, and was unconscious from the time he
was found. In his pocket was money and
4 letter from his brother William, Of
Berkeley Springs, who went to Cumber-
land in response TO telegram. Whartan
was Injured about the head and body. but
not dangerously. lie is only Is, and says
he and Young were on their way to Salem,
Ohio, to hunt work. When questioned rs
to how he got hurt, and when asked any
thing in regard to the train which was APP
preaching the depot, he had nothing to
say, nor did he give any reason for not
answering. 1t is generally supposed they
jumped off the train, fearing they would
be caught at the depot and arrested for
