THE SHADY SIDE oF PARIS.



It's Climate Not Agreeable. It's Heaithfal-
ness a Humbug, Its Comforts Few.
Sunny France is not often sunny. Rain
falls there, on the average, ons-third Of
all the days in the year. And the ma
tives are particularly sensitive 10
weather. A shower or furry of snow
will empty the boulevards. A cloudy
sky or a raw wind will metamorphose the
city, turning it from radiance and gayety
to gloom and dullness. Its Wanted fas-
cination depends on the barometer and
thermometer. Its climate will not COM
pare with that of New York
1t is very healthful, too, we are perpet-
ually told. But it is not, nor is there
any reason why it should be. Any num-
Der of diseases prevail there, particularly
consumption, rheumatism, neuralgia,
fevers, every kind of affection of the
liver kidneys, and bladder, all ascribable
to local causes. Consumption slays
thousands annually, and the sufferers
from rheumatism and neuralgia may not
be enumerated. These, partially due to
climate, are also engendered by the pow
erty or parsimony of the people. They
are willing to spend for show but not
for comfort.
Fires indoors are not seen, therefore
they who might afford them go without,
and they pay the penalty in disordered
lungs muscles, and nerves. Fevers,
especially typhoid, come from bad air,
lack of ventilation, want of drainage.
Many of the best streets reek with odors;
most of the apartments ache for oxygen.
The Partisan is a natural enemy of fresh
air and cold water; he fears the one and
avoids the other. A complete bath is a
solemnity, an ordeal he seldom braves.
The city has magnificent sewers, but
they seem to be kept for exhibition; they
are of small benefit to the close, noxious
dwellings, where typhus turks to seize its
predestined victims. Paris is the home
of typhoid fever; few persons stay there
any length of time without contracting
it. The water of the city, coming from
the Seine, is very unwholesome on ac-
count of its limestone properties, which
produce any number of serious disorders,
mostly Of a nephritic character, and from
which Parisians are great sufferers. For
this reasons cheap wine-yin ordinaire-
is almost universally drank; but it does
not serve, because the wine usually con-
tains large proportion of water. The
French capital does not deserve its rep
utation for healthfulness. Almost the
only disease not common there is dys-
pepsia, which French cooking claims par
ticularly to prevent.
The French live out of doors. They
have few of the home comforts we de-
mand; nor would they have them, for
they cost money and make no outside
show. The cooking is exceptionally
good, of course, but not equal to its rep
utation. True, no one knows what
he is eating, particularly at the cheaper
restaurants; but, if he likes it, perhaps
he should not be too curious. Good food
nicely prepared, is nearly as dear as al
home, and often not better than ours

A MARRIAGE took place on Main
street in this city, Monday, in which
a lovely young lady of GAINESVILLE was
united to promising young business
man of Memphis. The parties were
Mr.. John r. Garrison and Miss Nellie
Lyon. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. J. n. Waddell, at the residence
of Mr. George A. Ligon, the bride

S. w. P. University and is'a graduate Of
that institution. the happy couple
left for Memphis via Nashville, imme-
diately after the ceremony accompanied
by Messrs. c. Mason, Jr., w. P. Chap.

ALETTER FROM LAFAYETTE, KY.

To the Chronicle.
The writer in an interview with a
prominent man of Pee Dee, in regard
to the shipping Of tobacco over the /.
A. & T., to GAINESVILLE, found in view Of
the fact that GAINESVILLE sells more to-
bacco than Hopkinsville does, and gets
better prices, the largest tobacco grow
ers will ship their crops to GAINESVILLE,
thus we see that this road will be of
great interest to Clarksville and will be
detrimental to Hopkinsville.

was utilizing the convict's labor that
brought it about, and it remains TO be
provedthat Jail physician appointed in
permanence would be more expensive
than one occasionally called in. The,
acts Of 1885, whose enforcement we are
calling for, expressly provides that
90 Compensation to Jail physicians
or county health officers shall be such
as the county court may fix" AS to
the expenses Of the Board OF which he
is chairman, they will be- controlled
from extravaganza by his ec-c6icio col
leagues, the county judge and the
county court clerk. Surely this topic
needs no further discussion, though it
is curious circumstance that in the
schedule Of medical expenses on the
Jail accounts, no one month in 1885
when they had regularly appointed
Jail physician cost more than 81, while
Feb. 1886, when there was none, foots
up $l2 We will only now consider his
statement that "the question involved
is one OF no concern to the State Board
OF Health"
With much Difference we contend
that it is one of very high concern to
the State Board whether it shall cores
pond with county officer exercising
his functions independently OF all other
departments of county administration
and permanently established in his
Office, or with a doctor temporarily
employed by Jail commission, who
may be changed for another the next
time somebody gets sick in the Jail. In
organizing the State Board OF Health
great care was taken to establish it
independent and separate from all other
administrative departments, whether
political, legal or financial and the law
of 1885, establishing county boards, if
thoughtiully read, will be seen to have
been established on similar principle.
By its provisions the health officer, who
is also chairman of the county board OF
health, will take his position at the
board on equal terms with his col
leagues as firmly seated there as the
county Judge and the county court
clerk. This is what Judge Tyler does
not like, he does not desire any one in
this county not dependent upon him
self, but prefers person removable al
his pleasure and dependent upon him
for all official authority.
1t is not true however as Judge Tyler
expresses it, that the county court has
refused to recognize the doctor attend
ing at present on the Jail patients as
county health officer, for no such Off
Ger has ever been reported to it. l
am not authorized to say what would be
the course of the Board if he were, but
Of course it would prefer to act with one
legally elected.
1t is with no disrespect to our County
Judge that l express the opinion that
| the law has judged more wisely IN this
matter than he has.

A Big Spring of Cold Water.

1t has recently been discovered that
Lake Dias, near DeLeon springs Volusia
county, Fla. is fed by an enormous
spring, which boils up about 200 yards
off the south shore of the lake. When
the surface is perfectly still the boiling
can be seen over an area of about five
acres. 1t is proposed to anchor a buoy
over the center of the spring, since the
best of cool water can be obtained there
at any time. Chicago Herald.
