The Poison of City Wells.
lScience.l


In many towns and cities the priyy-
vaults and teaching cesspools of every
house drain really into the sheet of
ground.water. The soil arrests the
coarse material, the grease, and slime /;
but the swarming bacteria diffuse with
ease, as much as the soluble chlorides
and nitrates, and follow the flow
wholly unobstructed. Into the same
soil are sunk or driven the wells.
and the water that is drawn for use
is polluted in proportion to the number
and proximity Of the vaults and cess
pools, on the one hand, and the thinness
and sluggishness Of the watershed on
the other. In the worst wells in daily
use the water is distinctly colored with
sewage; but the most deadly water
may carry only the germs Of typhoid
fever or of dysentery, and be otherwise
sparklingly clear and so pure as
to pass unchallenged through the most
searching chemical analysis. The
story is essentially the same as nav be
told OF any compactly-built city, espe-
cially OF the older parts. where the same
houses has been occupied for hundreds
Of years. OF $50 wells examined, less
than 10 ger cent. furnished water really
good enough to use, and only two or
three water which was above all sus-
picion.

Mr.. Kelley.

1t is now reported that Herr Won
SzEGENYI, the Under-Secretary of
State of Austria, man OF great inhu-
ence, has said that Mr.. KEILEY's So
cial position in Vienna would be de-
cidedly unpleasant if his appointment
was persisted in. At the same time
Herr Won SZEGENYI thinks that the
Austro-Iiungarian Government will
not absolutely refuse to accept Mr..
KELLEY as Minister from the United
States.
No. Mr.. KELLEY will not be re-
jected. Nor do we believe the Aus
TRAN Under-Secretary of State ever
made the remarks attributed to him

And 40 say We.

\ number Of our contemporaries, fol-
lowing the lead of the Richmond Dis
Ddich. favor the idea that when on
State Convention meets the candidates
should be nominated the first day and
the ballotiDg take place on the next.
We think this is a wise suggestion, and
it is one which we hope the Convention
will adopt. At this particular juncture
we cannot afford to make mistakes, and
the best way to prevent and guard
against them is for all the candidates to
be before the Convention and time given
the delegates to canvass the respective
merits Of each candidate. For by so
doing the Convention will be enabled
to select the strongest and most avail
able man to lead the ticket, and this
choice will be made after dclIberation
and thought. and not as the result Of
excitement. when it may BE found ont
TOO late that the wrong man has been
put forward .-FdrWrWe JoUngi.

His successor, appointed By the
President on the 4th of July, owes his
selection, it is said, not so much to out
side influence as to a warm personal
friendship with POstmaster-Gencral
Villas. When Mr.. Villas was put into
the Cabinet, Mr.. Stevenson was his first
choice for the Office Of First Assistant
PoStmaSteT-General. The President
thought better selection could be
made for geographical reasons, as the
Pension and Land Offices had been as
signed to Illinois. His choice fell,
therefore, on Mr.. Hay, but when that
gentleman found it necessary to with
draw, Mr.. Villas again pressed the
claims of his friend, and this time with
success.
Mr.. Stevenson is a stalwart man oil

thorough-going Democrat. lie will
