ABOUT SEWERS,
And Some Excellent Suggestions
on the Subject.

Editor san Antonio Light.
The recommendation Of the Board OF
Health to use the river and bitches for
the purpose OF drainage having renewed
the agitation OF the sewerage question
In our city, permit me to suggest a few
reasons which | have not seen noticed
by anyone else.
Underground drainage would be the
hest, provided the city owned the water
works or had the money to buy them.
and to build sewers; but. considering
the circumstances and the financial con
dition Of our city, the Board OF Alder
men should act upon and according to
the recommendation of the Board OF
Health Mt once The river Ia the natural
sewer of the city, good deal more so
than the bitches, because the river Is
lower and the lowest part OF the plateau
on hich our city Is situated. This II "A
fact patent to everyone. All that Is
necessary to do Is to keep the river
clean and with n good current. This
can he easily done. The dams
as now constructed are the principal OBJ
struutions. In each dam should be n
ENlf-l llfuil " hViN khi'f
about II feet wide, and TO reach TO the
bed of the river, which gates should be
open from sunset to sunrise, aud the
gates of the bitches should be shut. IL
the present volume of the water Is not
enough TO produce n good current,
additional water would have to be taken
from the water works. Sewerage mat
ter will settle wherever there Is dead
water, and dead water Is where obstruc--
tions, natural or artificial trash and
NTH, accumulate. They have for CEN
fury detiled our river. The river bed Ia
full Of It, and gradually filling up with
1t. 10 overcome this, the city should
buy dredge boat with necessary barges,
and have the river thoroughly cleaned,
and have the actual bed Of the river
made smaller, which would increase
the current. After the river Is once
thoroughly 'dredged and cleared OF OBJ
distractions, no continuous dredging
would be necessary. | am sure six
months work In each year would keep
the river clean. Then let our streets be
paved with an incline to the river, and
let everyone connect himself through
pipes direct with the river, and save our
bitches for the people who still need the
water for drinking and cooking pur-
poses. In some way or other the fish
in the river should be protected; we
should spend some money to stock the
river well with them. That will help to
keep the river clean, more than the
majority of the people bellve.
Whether or not we will have sewer
age. the city cannot delay much longer
its duty of cleaning and clearing the
river. and to do this II will have to pro-
cure dredge boat. and might just ms
well do it at once and give surface drain
age n trial. | am sure 1t will answer
the ends sought and the purposes per-
fectly. The whole cost by which this
could be accomplished would not be
over $4,000. G.. +. KRoBGER,

TRADE rights in war and peace, are de-
fined as follows by the New York Her
aid: "a declaration Of war will change
the status of every nation on the globe.
1t will make England and Russia bell-
gerents. 1t will make every other
Power neutral. The declaration will
subject international commerce to sys-
TEN Of laws and principles radically diff
ferent from those now in force. Com
mercial intercourse between Russia and
England will be broken of. Trade deal
ings between the United States and
either belligerent will be materially re-
stricted. This country will be barred
from selling any ships to the English or
the Russian Governments. Any British
on Russian war vessel that may happen
TO be within our waters will have to de-
part. Arms, munitions OF war, etc.
will become cOntraband in neutral ms
well as belligerent vessels. The nom
cOntraband goods OF either belligerent
under its own flag on the ocean will be
| subject to seizure by the war ships of
the enemy. But unit. war is declared
the existing trade rights and freedom
between this country and the parties to
the impending hostilitles will undergo
no legal or international change. Until
then we are at liberty to sell and deliver
ships, arms or anything else to either
Russia or England. TO do this will not
be violation of international law or
courtesy. Our obligations as n neutral
nation begin with declaration of war,
but not day sooner"

The Power of Abstraction

According to one of his friends,
Victor Hugo wrote t'Netre Dame
during tine revolution of 1880, while
bullets were whistling across his
garden and barricades were being
erected almost al his door. .'Hc shut
himself up in one room, locking up
his clothes lest they should tempt him
to go into the streets, and spent the
whole sof that winter wrapped up in
a biggray comforter writing against
time to complete his work for the LIST
of February, 1884, The author of a
work on French political leaders tells
us that Victor Hugo wrote that terri
bly, pathetic drama, ''Le Roi s. Amuse,''
during the instruction. The first act
was written in four days. AS he lived
near the Tuileries garden, he was
accustomed to walk there under the
trees and compose his verses as he
walked. One day, when hard at
work on a monologue, he was inter-
rupted by a riot, whose angry waves
penetrated almost to his peaceful re-
treat and compelled him to take
refuge in neighboring arcade. The
tide of battle followed him, and the
poet, forgetting his verses, had to get
behind some columns for protection.
Mrs. Somerville had, to soRae extent,
the same power of concentration, and
became SO absorbed in her task as to
be unconscious of what was going on
around her. DR.. SomerTiIle told
Harriet .Martineau that he once laid
wager with friend that he would
abuse Mrs. SOmerVille Ia a loud voice
to her face and she would take no
notice, and he did so. Sitting close to
her, he sconiGed to his friend the most
injurious ,things-tnat she rouged,
that she wore wig, and other such
nonsense, uttered in a very loud voice.
Her daughters were in roar of
laughter, while the slandered lady
sat plaeidly writing. At last her
husband made a dead pause after her
name, on which she looked up with
an innocent, .eDid you speak to
me?'-4W the Year Bound.

Perched above them on the

steep sides we saw solitary negro huts,
matched with palm, with sides woven
of rude wicker work. [ had read SO
often of travellers who felt a thrill of
delight at the first sight of tropical
vegetation that l had come to distrust
them, and was amazed to find that
there really was something thrilling in
the sight of even such a mildly tropi-
cal vegetation as we saw that day.
There were myriads of hibiscus shrubs
with glowing scarlet blossoms, poin-
settias waved across the way like red
flags, purple passion flowers twined
along the patch, and strange orchids
and ferns nodded from its sides. Long,
thin cacti crawled over the rocks like
green snakes, and near them grew i'm
mense clusters of pink begonia, which
the boy with us called rock bush. It
was not that the vegetation, at least in
the part of the mountains which we
traversed, was denser or finer than in
some damp northern forest, or the
flowers more plentiful, but that they
were either new or that such as we are
accustomed to see cherished in hot
houses here grow wild.
After passing for two hours through
scenery of the widest and most pic
turesque beauty we finally reached the
summit, where the view was superb.
The mountains below us looked like an
angry ocean, and beyond them we saw
Kingston harbor and the Caribbean
sea. In spite of all the practical draw
backs to living here, it is quite mis-
taken theory that either an artist or
botanist has completed his education
if he has not been to Jamaica.
