An Interesting Incident Recalled.
RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 8, 1890.
the Fdifor OF The Dispatch :

To the Eiitor Of the Dispatch:
In answer to "F. j." Of Salem. Va,
as TO the origin of the expression " blood
is thicker than water" when and where
il originated, / beg leave to suggest that
it was at the battle OF Taku, China, on
the 18th Of June, 1859 and was made by
the late fag officer, josiah Tatnall,
United States navy, who subsequently
commanded the Confederate States ram
"YirginIa (Merrimack). The writer
was standing alongside Of him when he
used the expression.
The following account OF the scene
and place may be of interest to your
correspondent. The writer was at
tached TO the "Toey-wan" chartered
steamer Of light draught to convey the
First American Embassy TO Picking ria
the Pei Ho river on the oath OF June,
1859. In ascending the river when OPP
posite the forts Immediately under the
guns the Toey-wan ran aground on the
mud-aats. As soon as our situation was
made known to the English Ad-
miral Hope, he sent gun
boat TO tow US of, but failed,
the chain having parted. We re-
NAMED hard and fast aground all day,
expecting every moment to be fired into,
as the English were drawing their forces
nearer the forts preparing for battle.
They had twelve gunboats and a large
number OF smaller boats containing the
reserve forces. The Admiral offered
Flag-Oficer Tatnell the use OF one OF
his gunboats, requesting him to hoist
his Tag on board and retain her as
long us he wished. At high tide,
$50 z. NJ, the Toey-wsn hoated of.
On the 25th the English made the at
tack on the Chinese forts. a furious
bombardment continued for two hours,
in which one Of the forts was blown up,
two gunboats sunk, and others disabled.
About . z. ". a young English officer
came on board the roey-wan from
one of the gunboats to inform Flag
Officer Tatnall that Admiral Hone had
been seriously wounded and that their
losses were very heavy on board al the
gunboats. he stated that the Admiral
was very anxious TO bring into action his
reinforcements from the boats which
were some distance down the river,
out OF the line Of fire, tho tide being too
strong for them to row up without the
assistance of a steamer. 1t was then
that Tatnall yielded TO his generous i'm
pulse 10 assist the Admiral. TO whom he
felt under obligations for his handsome
offer the day before for the use of one OF
his gunboats. Some one made the sng-
gestion 10 him that this step. to tow into
action the reserve forces, would involve
us in a difficulty, as violation Of the
neutral position occupied by the United
States in the warlike turn which Affairs
had taken. Then it WAS that
Tatnall replied. "Blood ia thicker than
water" and he ordered the Toey-wan
to be gotten underway and We towed the
reserve force into action The result oil
this attack on the forts was disastrous
failure. The English lost out OF
storming party Of six hundred at least
one third killed or drowned in the
bitches under the walls OF the forts.
Yours very truly, 4. X A.
rOt course Tatnall did not originate
but only made use OF well-known e1
preston.

Some stealthily cropt beside her,
And breathed on her sad, sweet facc,
Murmuring words of comfort,

She stood by grave uncared Tor,
Meath the burning August sun,
And wept forth tears Of bitterness
OF sorrow just begun.
And raised her eyes toward Heaven
In an agony az despair,
Praying, "Oh. God. have mercy
On my life so lone aud drearl"
In His kingdom far above US
God heard the maiden's prayer,

How to Raise Money for Street Improve
menfs.

ments.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
So now why should wo not have the
100000 for special street improvements IN
1891 ?-DisDd'cR, December ., 1890.
Why are street Improvements demand
ed; because Of their general aesthetic
effect or because they benefit some
body
Because they benefit somebody.
Whom DO they benefit, the owners Of
adjoining property or people residing IN
other parts of the city a?
The adjoining property-holders, OF
course.
Then, who should pay for street i'm
provements. the people benefited direct
ly and Immediately or those who II bene-
flied at all are only incidentally aud re-
motley q?
To ask the question is to answer it.
Then TO raise money and to spare for
street improvements ell that should he
necessary would be, it should seem, to
say TO those demanding street improve
ments, "You will be the great benef-
Charles Of these improvements therefore
assess the property to be benefited with
the cost thereof.
What more equtlble?
If benefited pay for the benefit, and
don't try 10 make those pay who will be
only remotely, if at all benefited.
"Oh, but the city will be benefited. "
'Tis to some extent, perhaps, but as the
property-holder will be- benefited a hun
dred or more per cent, while the city As
whole will be benefited not perhaps
two per cont, or little more than the
amount Of taxes on the added value,
II is the property holder and not the city
at large that should bear the expense.
It il. from the West End, where the
writer owns property, that this cry for
street improvements at other people 8
expense principally proceeds. If all
wards were fairly benefited by the issue
OF bonds for street improvements 1t
would be reasonable 10 heed the demand
o. the West End, but as, owing to the
topography OF the city divided by the
deep valley Of Shockoe creek into two
distinct and partially antagonistic cities,
this is impossible. The only alternative IS
for each ward TO receive its pro rate OF
the street fund, or for the property
holder TO pay the cost Of street improve
ments, benefting himself principally.
If people want street improvements
let them have them by al means, but
let them pay for them just as they pay
for the houses they build. The city
might as well issue bonds to provide
dwellings free of cost TO those who are
10 live in them as to provide street i'm
provements free TO those who are to
benefit by them.
see, however, serious objections to
this plan, fair as il is, because the people
OF Richmond aro so accustomed to cast
their burdens upon Others it will seem
preposterous TO them to bear their OWL
burdens.
They knew nothing of the wise house
wife who always kept handy two bears
bear and forbear They cannot bear
their own burdens and they cannot for
bear casting them upon others.

WHAT VIRGINIA SHOULD DO.
An Appeal for Fire-Escapos.


To tho Editor Of the DlSpatch:
VIII Won kindly give me hearing in
the DIsPATcH 1 desire TO have my
"say" on fire-escapes and electricians,
and / desire that the DISPATCH should
be the medium through which l may
speak, believing that thereby ! shall
have a larger audience, for L write with
the hope that 10y agitating the subject
others more able than myself may take
itup.
In reading an article about London
lin the DISPATCH of a few Sundays ago.
| WAS struck with the fact that English
people we're so careful about human life
that great caution was exercised by rail
roads and other public carriers in regard
10 the safety of the travelling public,
etc. How much could We profit 10y the
example of our English brethren Here
in Richmond we have railroad-crosslngs
without gates, theatres and hotels with
no fire.escapcs, deadly wires over our
heads with no protection IN case they
should break, and-well, this Is enough
10 write about at present.
/ believe | was the first TO urge the
necessity here Of fire escapes at theatres
and hotels. and a few days before the
Young man was killed ON Main street by
an electrician L had written an article
urging that the street-cars be so arranged
tbat passengers could not get of on the
onposite track, but my article was not
nnblished. Since then the question was
discussed, .,
Now. what desire to say is that when
the law recurring fre-escapes on public
buildings goes into effect, January Isl
next veshould not accept mere apologies
for fre-escapes l have seen some So
called fre-escapes; but when q man on
the third or fourth story is running from
The flames and sees one Of these so-caled
"escapes" at the end OF the hall be
would conclude that ii would be clear
case of dumping ont OF the trying,,pan
into the fire; for if he undertook to
oet down by such FIRE escapes 1t would
onIv be an escape from death by hre to
death by breaking OF the neck. -,
Also what would wooden steps with
wooden ratings amount to in case OF
s,.mnede at o theatre2 The frail rails
would snap when the crowd pressed on
49, and the result would be mass OF
i;v;no beings precipitated to the pave
menf below. Now, l most emphaticaliy
saw that substantial iron hre-escapes
s should be put up on all theatres, hotels
