We never had much respect FOR Ex-
Governor Sprague, of Rhode Island, who
gained all his notoriety by marrying the
daughter OF Chief Justice Chase; but If 1t
be true that he has made the declaration
attributed to him concerning the noble
ness of character of his former wife, and
which his present wife is making desper-
ate efforts to deny, we shall consider that
there is still great deal of MANHOOD left
in him. One of his nearest friends, Col.
Sanborn, says that the Governor tells his
associates that he himself was exclusively
in the wrong in the trouble with his first
wife; and we are inclined to think the
Colonel is correct, and that the new Mrs.
Sprague is a poor, disappointed back
biting gossip.

pulsory. The rare to be from to 7
cents per 1000 gallons daily, according
to quantity, with a minimum charge of
so per year for business places and So
for private houses. They ought to go
further and compel all consumers to
have meters. The system Of guess

actly like coal dealer charging his

the coal they can carry away, and his
larger customers so much a ton for what

From ChristIansand TO Hercen.

1t is now $50 o'clock, and the engine backs
down with a bang against the cars, for on
this railway the carriages have no buffers,
and second and third class accommodations
only are provided. Almost the whole village
turn out to watch the train start, and there
are many pathetic leave takings, and much
weeping, as several dear ouds intrust them
selves TO the diminUtive train whose average
rate OF speed is fourteen miles an hour. Nor
wegian trains, like everything else in Norway,
impress one with a feeling of quiet restfulness.
Out past the porcelain works, the only manu-
factory in the village, we go, following the
valley, the roadbed with tunnels and high
ing skill Rocks, rocks, rocks-but they arc
picturesque in their very baroness.
At last we come to a bit of land, cultivated
in places, though but little will grow in this
stony desert. II is pathetic sight to see so
much brave and honest effort in the midst OF
such desOlation. The women, as well as the
men, have hard faces and look worn with
toll. Occasionally there is red cottage
with a turf roof covered with flowers, which
are the bouuteOUs blessing that make the
wilderness boarable. Here and there black
hogs, with piles Of drying peat near by, make
n noticeable contrast with the gray powders.
Without the PEAT no one could live in this
part OF the country, for there are no trees.

On the 18th of last October gale was
blowing at Kankakee, ILL.,, at a rate of
sixty miles per hour. At o'clock a. m.
the water tower was observed to be
swaying back and forth, and during
several severe gusts it tilted so that the
bottom was raised several inches from
the foundation. Soon after the top of
the stand pipe collapsed, and the entire
structure fell over. The tower was 124
feet high, and 20 feet in diameter. The
plates from which it was made were
fve-eighths OF an Incl thick ut bottom
course, diminishing to one-eighth for top
course. Six anchor rods, two inches
diameter, and extending into the foun-
dation, were considered enough for
staying purposes. The foundation was
of solid stone and concrete, about twenty
one feet in diameter, by seven feet thick,
and built to resist so, 600 tons pressure.
The tower full Of water weighed but
1900 tons. The foundation was badly
pounded up.
Our city should .cok well to its in
terest in this White Water branch
scheme. The entire pans Of this pro-
posed company should be carefully
scanned, and wherever a bad piece of
work is likely to be run In, condemn it.
Make no bones about 1t, but insist and
stand TO it, that the works shall be first
class. the material first-class, and the
water supply first-class. Favor no one,
but impartially and rigidiy exact from
this company, honest ,rort and honest
