Is to compact the seed-bed before putting

aLGrnnts Funeral.

Yesterday morning the Danville
Grays, Captain William I. Hutchins
commanding, and numbering in all fifty
seven men, reached the city over the
Richmond and Danyille railroad, on
their way to be present at General
Grants funeral on the Sth instant. The
command marched to the armory Of the
First Virginia regiment and stacked
their arms, receiving a warm welcome
from representatives of the First regi-
ment.
Breakfast at Sanger Hall followed,
and the Danville boys then stro'led
around the city until dinner. After
this meal preparations for the march to
the depot were made, and by 3 O'Clock
p. NJ. the Richmond Grays Company
A, First regiment, Lieutenant E. Les
lie Spence commanding; Walker
Light Guard Company b, FIRST regi-
ment), Captain II. c. Jones, were in
line, and moved down Seventh TO Main
street, and thence to the depot. The
Richmond Grays were in front, the
Danyille Grays in the centre, and the
Walker Light Guard brought up the
rear.
The battalion presented a very SOL
dierly appearance, and was very much
complimented. About twenty-five men
Of Company B were at Old Point, and
Joined the command there last night.
At Newport's News the military en-
barked for New York on the steamer
Breakwater at ! o'clock. A stop was to
be made at Old Point long enough to
take aboard Captain Jones's men AMI
the Alexandria Light infantry.
Lieutenant-Colonel N. l.. SpOtswood
is in immediate command Of the forces.
The Governor and staff accompany the
troops, and all will arrive in New
York, if no accident happens, in full
time to be assigned 4 position in the
funeral procession of General Grant on
Saturday.

gists, Senors VI. de Ia Barccna and Don
A. del Castillo. In making excaya-
tions for a military shooting school
near the city Of Mexico, Colonel Don
Obregon loosened the. fossils by dyna-
mite, and Immediately placed them at
the disposal of the Government.
The official geologist, Bsrcena. states
that the remains were found imbedded
in very hard rock formed Of silicitied
calcareous tufa Of a brownish gray
color. The bones were firmly es-
tablished in the stone, which filled
their cellular tissues, but were not IN
crustated with calcareous rock, as OBJ
Seryable in recent formations. Ii was
found impossible to name the geologi-
cal age Of the remains, as no fragment
Of fossil OF any other animal has yet
been found in the same stratum of rock.
There were some Quartenary shells,
but these exist at present. Some hu-
man implements have been found IN the
same period Of the mastodon in Mexico
(Quartenary), but these facts do not
clearly prove that the human fossils be-
longed to that age.
After a thorough examination of the
region in the vicinity Professor Barcena
concludes that while the exact age OF
the remains cannot be established for
want Of evidence, yet clearly they
prove an astounding antiquity Of man.

The NoZarf Last Night,

Quite a pleasing programme was rem
dered at the Mozart musicale last eve
ming. Mrs. W. ?. Knowles rendered
two vocal solos with line effect. on each
of which she was forced to respond to
the recall. The trombone solo Of Nr.
Equi was an exquisite number. His
tone WAS unusually fine and the audi
ence gave marked evidence Of approval.
In the grand duo for violin and piano
from the IIuguenots, Professors kess-
nich and Reinhardt gave another eyi-
dcnce Of their proficiency on their re-
spectiye instruments. The orchestral
numbers were fairly rendered. Owing
to the cool evening", doubtless, there
was quite good audience for mid

The Water.

To the Editor ofhs Dispatch:
In the Dispatch of this morning
" Pharmaceutist again calls the at
tention Of the public to the evils which
a substitution of pure water in place Of
the present muddy liquid would cause.
He cautions the City Council against
an endeayor to remedy the muddy
water, and gives five reasons" why
an experiment should not be tried. |
will take them in order and try to
show that they are all fallacious and
the majority Of them absurd.
First, says our mentor. " the ex-
pertinent may fail" As far as that is
concerned, we do not experiment when
We are sure of thing. Many other
things might fail. The water supply
might fail. james river might fail to
run to the sea. and for some unaccOunt-
able reason run backwards. Yet.
Pharmaceutist " has overlooked these
things.
Second" we are informed, sit
may cost large sum-" Cannot Rich
mond afford large sum to purify water
that its own citizens can scareel y drink,
and at which strangers are astonisAed!
Pharmaceutist " will not have to pay
for the experiment.
"Third, it may produce unexpected
results very undesirable in household
economy" Probably the most uneI-
pected result would be "Pharmaceu-
lists" conviction of his errors.
Fourth" says he, the result
may be detrimental TO the public
health; and fifth, the whole plant of
er-pipes in the city, iron aud lead,
may be rotted." As to the first OF
these, it is we'll known that free sui
phuric acid is the only thing likely to
be found in the water that could dis
solve the coatings Of our lead pipes.
Does Pharmaceutist" know that it
is impossible for the alum to settle the
water until it is decomposed and it's
sulphuric acid neutraliEed by combina-
ton with the alkaline carbonatss in
the water: There is no free sulphurlc
acid formed in the clearing process, as
every one at all familiar with the chem
istry of the process ought to know.
As TO the last reason" the quOts-
ton from Professor Nichols shows that
our pipes should have been numbered
with the thisgs (which are not :" long
ago. If that learned authority be
right, as no doubt he is, the very thing
we need is something TO deposit-an
insoluble coating on the interior of our
iron mains, and alum will accomplish
this object. The dreadful picture that
Pharmaceutist draws, Of citizen
poisoned by lead pipes in solution, will
do very well to frighten children with,
but will scarcely keep eur City Coun-
ell from making at least an effort to
rid us Of the muddy evil. c. 4. c.
