Changes are constantly taking place
which tend to make the world happier and

The security of DesoIotion.

He who hath seen his grain fields gather blight
Heeds not the whitening of the garden noWers'
He grieyps not at the DAYS Withdrawing light
VINO in a dungeon numbers his dim hours
He feareth not the storm upon his head
Whose garments with the rough salt wave are
soaked,
And he whose fire within mis- house is dead,
Into the outer air will 20 uucloaked
So he whose life some weak, loved hand has
taken,
Flies not the shaft of banded myrmdon,
Nor trembles when his citadel is shaken:
Foretasting all. he hath no more to shun;
The Night, the Cold, the Dearth, the Wound Oh
sCuTe,
That men call Death, unmoved he shall endure

Within the large house at Washington
occupied by Archbishop Satoll there is
not woman to be seen. All the servants
are men, speaking Italian, and only the in
terpreter talks English. Satolli has but
one fad, and that is fondness for birds.
In almost every room of the house these
is cage of birds, and the whole residence
seems like mammoth avary.
Aluminium is having its uses gradually
extended, now that its cost has been so
far reduced that it has become an availa-
BILE metal in the arts and industries. En-
peror William of Germany it is reported,
has ordered that the cooking utensils of
the army shall be made of aluminium. Its
extreme lightness, and the fact that it does
not readily oXidize, admirably fit it for such
use.

Is There Any Satisfactory Answer to BE
Made to This!

From the New York Tribune.
1t appears from the official declarations
of Gen. Lee of Virginia, that the Presi-
dent gave him $1,000 in fifty-dollar bills to
spend in the late Virginia campaign, the
chief feature of which was the choice of a
legislature to elect United States senator,
Lee being himself candidate. In other
words, the President is spending money to
bring personal friends into the Senate at
the rate of $1,000 per senator. This amaz-
ing performance came out as the result of
an investigation by the Virginia legislature
into the methods which ended in Gen.
Lees defeat. How many more such in
vestments Mr.. Cleveland has been making
is, of course, unknown. And this is the
man who breaches to American citizens
about the corrupt influence of money in
politics, who stands up in solemn and
pompous sef-righteousness and moons over
the decadence of public virtue, who rolls
his eyes over ''the peril of debauched
suffrage" who wants "to arouse the Amer
lean conscience who is appalled, at the
way the ''peoples rights are being forgot
ten in tn capriciOus bestowal of favors,
and who begs the public to vote for him in
order that broad and disinterested patri-
otism' may have a chance to get on its
feet again

The Crimes and Casualties aud Disns-
tiers Of 1903.
The Chicago Tribune has compiled a
record of the tragedies, shocking accidents
and big fires of the year 1898, and the list
is a startling one. The property loss by
fire amounted to SIS, 356040, which is
S32, 100000 more than in 1892, and 1877
people are reported to have been burned to
death Explosions caused the death Of
III persons, and mining disasters were re-
sponsible for 800 victims. Over GOOO peo-
pie were murdered and 4436 took their own
lives. 1t is significant that while there
were 1926 legal executions during the year
there were POO successful lynchings
There were 1873 lynchings in the southern
states and II in the West, leaving the
East with a clear record in this respect
While there was an increase of $40 in the
number of suicides as compared with the
year 1892 there was considerable de-
crease in the number of murders.

And hustle of a city life.

For David soon began to drink,
And of his business did not think.
And nothing seemed to 60 quite ven.

THE COUNTY DRAINAGE.
What the Convicts Have Done on tbs
Drains Around the Oitv.


Drains Around the City.
The drainage of that section of the
county which is Immediately adjacent to
the city is progressing rapidly, and the
work will no doubt prove quite safe
guard for the city during the summer
season.
"Ihe drainage around the city, said
Chairman j. A G. Carson, of the drain
age committee, yesterday, east of the
Thunderbolt road, has been completed
with the exception of some bitches
which are to be dug near
the Catholic cemetery, on which
the gang is now working After these
have been completed the convicts will 20 to
the section west of and around the Thun-
derbolt road. The drainage will then be
in as good order east of the Thunderbolt
road as the commissioners are able to
make 1t at the present time
Between the Waters road and the
Thunderbolt road everything is in good
order four miles out from the city, with
the exception Of the new DeRenne canal.
on which work will be resumed as soon as
No. gang completes draining the
Thunderbolt section. Between the
Waters road and the White Bluff road.
and between the White Bluff and Middle
Ground roads everything will be in good
order as soon as a short canal now being
dug, is completed with the exception of
the drainage Immediately along the
White Blur road, which the commits
sioners propose to do very shortly at the
expense OF the company owning the road.
1.-THE section between the Middle
Ground and Ogeechee roads as far as
Southover junction, has been drained and
No. 2 gang is now working on the SOuth-
over canal, which, when completed with
its laterals, will give almost perfect drain
age as far out as the five mile post on the
Savannah, Florida and Western railroad
The commissioners will do the best they
can with the Musgrove creek section
The section west of the city, between the
Savannah river and the Louisville road
is in as good condition as it can be put at
tho present time. Altogether, within
radius of four miles of the city exchange
east, south and west, everything in this
territory is having the attention of the
commissioners, and is to-day in much bet
ter condition than it ever has been. and
will in short time be thoroughly
drained"
Very few persons have any idea of the
enormous amount of work that has been
done around the city by the commission
ers within the last few months, and is be-
ing done now. 1t would pay any one to
take trip around and see what has been
accomplished.
