The buildings on each side of tho street rarely exceeded 20 feet in height. They were one stOricd structures, as rule Sometimes there was distinct upper story, but there the ground floor had but low hcadway. Frequently balconies ran round inside the open stalls which served as shops and n half upper floor or loft stretched behind. In fact, when the shops were open, the whole front of the house was taken away. Generally from the caves of the buildings light bamboo struc- tures were carried across the streets and hung with grass mating.

LITERARY LETTER.
Learning and Culture Aids to the Work
 of Political Reform.

Especial Correspondence.l
 NEW yoRK. Nov 2O.-The Rev. Dr. Parkhurst has been so thoroughly identi- fled with the reform movement which was successful at the recent election in New York city that some of his abilities have been overlooked, and it has been forgotten that the doctor is literary man. and n scholar An oration delivered by Wendell Phillips before the Phi Beta Kappa society of Harvard college in 1881 made n great impression upon Dr. Parkhurst. He did not hear the address, but read it. In that speech Mir. Phillips intimBted that the scholars and the literary men of this coun- try were laggarJlS, so far as leading or talk ing part in the reforms which are constant ly necessary to bring about in such re- public as ours. Phillips thought 1t was the first duty of literary men to use their powers for the good of the country, and that they should be active, earnest, rad ical leaders, instead of conservative, hesi- tating, and, as he claimed was so often the case, bringing up the rear in the on ward march to better things.
 It was only n few years after Dr. = hurst read this address that the opp = nifty came to him. He had been all hi 7 a very quiet clergyman, fond of study Ln,. lclighting in literary work. His sermons were very fine specimens of literary style, and it was on account of their scholarly character and their literary charm very largely that Dr. Parkhurst was called from a little church in LcnOx, Mass, to that one in New York in whose pulpit he de- livered that unexpected blast one Sunday morning in April, 1892, which was the first step in the battle which he has since wagcd.
 In his study Dr. Parkhurst, excepting when consulting with those who aided him in his battles, was the quiet scholar and the accomplished littcrateur. He has not many books in his library, but those which he possesses are his servants. They arc well thumhed. He knows them from preface to finis. Even in the midst of the great moral battle he has been waging Inc has found tAnc to turn to literature and consented prepare an article upon the healthy exercise and fascination of Alpine mountain climbing. Hc is one of the ex pert mountain climbers of the world.
 With the exception of an occasional ref crcncc to the reform movement, Dr. Park hurst confined his sermons almost wholly to spiritual or theological subjects after that now historic attack upon the evi forces in New York city was delivered But he found as the battle began to grow very hot, and especially after the invcsti gating committee commenced its work that his time was so wholly taken up thai he was compelled to abandon almost al forms of literary work, and it was mar vel to his friends that Inc found time tC prepare his sermons.
 The strangers in New York city who ou | of interest in the man 1lOckCd to his churcl upon sunday usually heard very earnest | scholarly and polished addresses, perhaps the chief charm of which was the sinccrit!

 that was in them. But not many of them knew that the ink upon those sermon pages was scarcely dry very often when Dr. parkhurSt entered his pulpit. It had been his custom during these exciting times to reserve Saturday to himself, and he hoped to get n few hours for careful thought. study of his books and tho writ ing of his sermon. Little by little this rc serve day, however, was cncroachcd upon until after his return from Europe last summer he found it almost impossible tO snatch even n few moments for this pas toral work. Many n time his sermon has been written late Saturday night, and tho very impressive sermon which he preached on the sunday before election day, in which he made reference to tho great i'm portanCc of the impending battle at tho polls, was not completed until the church bells had begun to ring.
 But if he was unable to give the careful preparation to his sermons which he dc sired. his congregation discovered no cvi dcncc of haste or supcriicialncss when they were preached. Parkhurst did n very great amount of literary work both with his pen and in the way of public addresses dur
 ing the last thrcc weeks of the campaign. He wrote on the average thrCc or four ar tiCles every day. He was appealed to by nearly every newspaper in New York for either n letter or an editorial, and he never refused any such request. He wrote with the speed of a stcnographcr taking notes. His mind seemed 10 be so full of the sub jcct that his pen was scarcely able to keep pace with his thoughts, and he wrote upon n great variety of aspects. He was com pcllcd to bear in mind the character of the newspaper and of its readers, that when he wrote for the religious press his Grgu- mcnts wcrc of course more nearly allied to Scriptural presentation than when he con trihuted 10 tho daily press.
 Besides these writings, which, in amount, would make n book of considcra-
 blc size, Dr. Parkhurst was constantly
 called upon to deliver public speeches. Upon several days he made as many as three or four addresses, none of them very long, but all of them full of fire and all of them as reported containing a certain literary charm. He made n number of ad- | dresses whicl. were not reported, for he met many committees which had come to | him for advice. He was compelled to make some purely political speeches, not
 partisan, and some of the older poli-
 ticians who heard him said that he rc- vealed in those brief addresses political ca | pacity which, had he chosen to bc n poll. tician, would have made him very success. | full. Besides the broader influence which
 Parkhurst has cxcrtcd, one which caused | Joseph II. ChOatc to call him the moral | ruler of New York" another influence has sprung from this work of Parkhurst's 's

THE OLDEST FICTION.

A Neat Little story That Was Written
 Some 3,aoO Years Ago.
 Ono of the most ancient examples of fiction in tho world, one which has sur vivcd the rise and fall of many an ancient and many a modern empire, is an Egyp- tian romance entitled The Tale of the Two Brothers" We have the original manuscript in the British museum It is written on l9 sheets of papyrus, in a fine hicratic hand, and it was penned some 3,2OO years ago by n Theban scribe named Ennaua. This Ennana was libra rian of the palace tO King Mercnptah, the supposed pharaoh of the exodus, and he appears to have written the tale by order of the treasurer for the entertainment of tho crown prince, Scti- -Mcrcnptah, who subsequently, rCignCd as Scti IL This prince has signed his name in two places on the back Uf the manuscript, these being probably the only autograph signaturcs of any Egyptian king which have come down to our time.
 This most venerable and precious dOcu- mcnt was purchased in Italy by Mime. d'OrbinCy, who sold it in IS57 to the au- thoritics of the British museum, and it is now known as the D'OTbincy papy rus. The story GCgins exactly like an old fash tened fairy tale:
 ''ThCrC wCrc two brothers, Children of one mother and one father. Anpu was the naInc Of the big brother, and Bctau was the name of the little brother. Now, Anpu had n house and wife, and his little brother lived with him as his serving man. It was Bctau who drove the cattle to the fields and titled the ground. It was he who thrashcd the corn and did the field work.

The Evil Eye.

Captain John G. Bourkc, United States army, in his study of customs and super stitions of the Rio Grande, tells of the be- lief there in the evil eye. A man who has the "echado el ojo'' may be rendered harmless, SO far as he can affect a child, if he ''fill his mouth with water and eject it into the child's mouth." In Mexico a man, it is believed, having the ''ojo," or evil eye, can injurc horse. Of course this superstition may have been distributed by Latin races. Still ''the evil eye'' must be of the most remote antiquity. Captain Bourkc asks what is the meaning of the following expression in the Old Testa- ment, Proverbs, chapter xxiii: Eat thou not the bread of him who has the evil eye. !" New York Times

THE sewage disposal committee should profit by the experience of the committee on additional water supply. It will be re membered that Rudolph Herring. the dis tinguished engIneer. after careful investi- gation decided that the Mad river scheme which was proposed by the DEMOCRAT was the best solution of the question of addi- tional water for Waterbury. His opinion cost about 8 900 and then hIs recom- mendations were not adopted. Had Her iug's advice been taken probably s20O. 900 | would have been saved to the taxpayers of | Waterbury It is of no use to cry over | split milF, but as We said before We should
 p,ofit by the experience of the past two
 years. Whatever method Engineer Her
 ing recommends for dIsposIng of the city s
 sewage ought to receive careful considera- ton. The DEMOCRAT believes that a | trunk sewer to tide water offers the only permanent relief. But let us hear what Mir Herring has to say on the subject.
 IF the level headed members of the party are allowed to have their way. and everything now seems to indicate that they will, there Is to be radical change in the methods pursued by the democrats in congress. Instead of trying to commit the party to the support of some measure and then having to hold conference to quiet the rumpus thus raised. as was done | entirely too often at the last session, it is proposed to hold the conference first in order that there may be no rumpuses to quiet. In other words, an attempt is to be made to confne the washing of the dirty linen of democracy to the privacy of the democratic laundry, aud to prevent that naus=ating process being gone through on the floor of the house. Every democrat who wishes for the future wei. fare of the party should certainly be able to give that attempt a hearty godspeed. Aye. and more. Every democrat should indelibly mark upon his mind the names of those calling themselves democrats whc shall oppose the proposed change. if there be any such, in order that they may be denied future honors at the hands of the party.
