Tho universal answer OF the hiends OF
the water-works, who are few enough, is
that there Is no remedy; that although
the contract with the city may be OPP
prcssive that there Ia no escape. Such
spirit Is that Of abject slaves, who de-
serve tyrannicnl masters and Of worthless
drones. Where there is q will there Is
wnv, and especially Il this so in regard
to the city Kidding itself OF the financial
Incubus that has fastened itself Oh u In
the way Of contract with the Water
works company. The contract with the
city proposes 10 debar any other party
or company from erecting water works
in this city. This Is clearly unconstitu-
tiouu aud of no force. The city can
pcr uit or authorize any other company
or person 10 erect and maintain water
works. and can rent hydrants from the
same IL 20 disposed. A recent decision
on this subject may b" OF intercs,, which
is cOpicd from the Sanitary Engineer
OF October -: "Ihc SyT7cusc, y. y o.,

opposing the licensing Of rival water
company by the city authorities, and
obtained an Injunction restraining The
city from taking such step, on the
ground that It's franchise gave II the eX-
elusive right to supply wa,er. This in
junction has been dissolved by Judge G..
j.. Williams, in an elaborate opinion, In
which he holds that the franchise and
RIGHTS Of the old company were not eX-
elusive, and that the city has a right to
grant franchise TO another company or
10 construct other water works itseli.n

Fully convinced that his alarm had

Fully convinced that his alarm had
been we'll founded, the shote sped out
from under the gigantic missive hurled
at him by the donkey, and scampered
down the road, turning first one ear
and then the other to detect any
sounds of pursuit The donkey, also
convinced that the object before which
he had halted was supernatural, start
81 back violently upon seeing it ap-
parently turn to man. But seeing
that it had turned to nothing but a
man, he wandered up into the deserted
fence corner, and began to nibble re-
freshment from scrub oak.
For a moment the Elder gazed up
into the sky, half impressed with the
idea that the camp meeting platform
had given way. But the truth forced
its way to the front in his disordered
understanding at last, and with painful
dignity, he staggered into an upright
position, and regained his beaver. He
was shocked again. Never before in
all the long years it had served him
had he seen it in such shape. The
truth is, Elder Brown had never be-
fore tried to stand on his head in it.
As calmly as possible he began to
straighten it out, caring but little for
the dust upon his garments. The
beaver was his special crown Of dig
nifty. To lose it was to be reduced to
level with the common wool-hat
herd. He did his best, pulling, press
ing. and pushing, hut the hat did not
look natural when he had finished.
1t seemed to have been laid off into
counties. sections, and town lots.
Like well-cut jewel, it had face for
him, view it from whatever point he
chose, quality which so impressed
him that a lump gathered in his
throat, and his eyes winked vigorous
ly.
Elder Brown was not, however, a
man for tears He was a man of
action. The sudden vision which met
his wandering gaze, the donkey calm
ly chewing scrub buds, with the green
juice already oozing from the corners
Of his frothy mouth, acting upon him
like magic. He was, after all, only
human. and when he got hands upon
piece of brush, he thrashed the poor
beast until it seemed as though even
its already half-tanned hide would be
eternally ruined. Thoroughly ex-
hausted at last, he wearily straddled
his saddle, and with his chin upon his
breast resumed the early morning
tenor Of his way.

Col. Andrew McSwigger, a well
known citizen of Western North Car
olina, and at times prominent moon
sinner, was recently very much affect
ed by sudden and prolonged scarcity
Of his favorite beverage in the district
in which he resides. He happened,
one evening, to meet at country
store number of gentlemen who in
common with himself, were lament
ing the vigilance of the United States
officials. The Colonel, in the course
Of the evenings conversation, unseen
by the rest of the company, ventured
to wink at the proprietor Of the store,
whereupon that gentleman drew Col
onel McSwigger aside, and requested
the pleasure of his company in an ad-
joining shed. This having been
reached, the proprietor extracted from
dark corner a small brown flask,
and, handing it to the Colonel, re-
marked the unusual pain it gave him
to be only able to furnish so poor a
substitute for the Colonels usual
drink, and explained that the flask
contained alcohol. The Colonel, af-
ter lamenting his ignorance of this
Ito him) unknown tonic, concluded to
refresh himself with at least about a
half pint Of it, and proceeded to
pour out that quantity into a glass
and drink it down. The qualities of
the supposed alcohol were so superior
in tone and strength to those Of the
elixir it was his custom to imbibe,
that the Colonel quaffed the remain
ing contents of the bottle, and went
home. The proprietor of the store,
who was, among other things skill
full apothecary, afterward discovered,
to his horror, that the brown flask had
contained sulphuric acid, and accord
ingly it was his custom thereafter in
his goings to and fro, to be armed to
the teeth, in order to accord a proper
reception to such of the relatives Of
Colonel McSwigger as felt inclined to
avenge their deceased kinsman.
What was his surprise to meet the
Colonel himself on the road, one
morning, with no change in his for
mer appearance beyond preternatur-
al bloom on his nose. "Oh-er-ah, my
dear Colonelr' exclaimed the proprie-
tor, $50 glad to see you again, you
know" and the worthy mans eyes
brimmed with tears. "Oh-er, my dear
sir, have not been ill?" The Colonel
expressed surprise. "Ill! All no.
Brown" said he, confdentially. ''that
alcohol was immense. Try and get
me a gallon. There was one peculiar
thing about it, though he added, af-
ter rejecting moment. For three
days after taking that drink, whenev-
er l blew my nose I blew hole in my
handkerchief.
