Well, the other night, we receiv
ed a pressing invitation to attend
a social gathering Well, we DOM
ed our best wardrobe and sailed
forth to fill the engagement. The
night was dark and starless, but
that gave us no concern. Our
thoughts were busy evolving some
thing nice and pretty that we
should say if called upon to make
a speech at the gathering A lit
/ tie speech that recommended itself
as just the thing for the occasion
commenced taking shape in our
mind, and we were busily intent
i'll getting it down pat, when,
without malice-afore-thought. we
stepped on to something that had
been moved away, and the next
instant we were houndering about
the bottom OF one OF the bitches,
with perfect avalanche of cobble
stones and rubbish filing itself on
our PROSTATE form After a few
Moments consultation with our in
ner self, we gathered together
what was left Of us, aud then-by
the great horn-spoon, we let loose
not the speech we had so care
fully committed-oh, no! The
speech we then and there made,
was only intended to be heard by
the ditch and the victim-and the
ditch no doubt will remember it all
its life, il it has such a thing as Il
memory and life. To be brief,
the cussing that ditch got, would
have sunk 10000 ton ship, you
bet, and ! pride myself that it was
the best effort of my lite in that
direction.
I dlgressed from my subject to
give you these instances where it |
is justifiable in man to use harsh .
language-at least. I did it to JUS
tfy myself, and if others under
similar circumstance overstepped |
the goody goody ways inculcated
in early youth under similar condi-
tions, they are to be pitied, not
blamed.
Now let us 90 back to our sew
age system, which fortunately is
pretty well under way at this wri-
ting, and the greater portions OF
the bitches having been filed up.
The main pipe extending from a
line west of the Hospital, runs in
lateral line west to east until it
reaches the south corner Of the pa
rade ground, winch it crosses dag
onally from southwest, to north
east, then lateraly again until 1t
passes the quarters on that end of
the garrison, where 1t takes an
eastern course some 800 feet.
here several branches Join, and the
main pipe pursues its way about
north east, until it reaches the
tanks. The man pipe is II inch
es in diameter, the connections are
3. 4, 6 and s inches. The tanks
are large and constructed on thor
oughly scientific principles. They
are double, the first receives every
thing that comes along, the solid
matter settling at the bottom, the
liquid rising to certain height
when it is conducted to tank No. 2,
which again lets the liquid off by
4 syphon into the open canal where
t is absorbed by the sandy soil.
AT certain periods the solid matter Z

zed as fertilizer in the Company
