ORPHANS TO FIND HOMES FOR.
Clerk OF Council Manucy Has n

clerk or Council Manucy Has "a
Couple at His Disposal.
Clerk of Council Manucy has a couple
of orphan boys for which he would like
to find homes. One is 2 years old, and
the other 6. They have another brother
years old, who has already been adopt
ed by Mrs. William Tow.
Mrs. Tow, who lives at TT
West Broad street, informed Mr..
Manucy yesterday that the boys were
left at her house last Friday by a woman
who applied there for assistance. The wo-
man said that her husband deserted her
and her children about month ago, leav-
ing her with the three little boys on her
hands and without money or any means
of support. She had been kept from starv-
ing by negroes living around her, she
said. After being fed, the woman asked
permission to leave her children with
Mrs. Tow while she went out to look for
work. which permission was granted.
The woman remarked before leaving
that if she did not come back she hoped
get some one to adopt them who would
be good to them. She did not return, and
has not been heard from since. She may
have thrown herself in the river, or she
may have deserted her children as the
only means of getting them comfortable
homes.
Mr.. Manucy will endeavor to find homes
for the oldest and the youngest of the
three boys. Mrs. Tow said that she did
anything further about her than she had

CAN PAVE IN THE SUMMER.
The Mayor Does Not Think the sani-
tary Law VIII Interfere.

The ordinance for the paving of the
western extension of Bay street will be
taken up at the meeting OF city council
tonight and Will probably be adopted
without discussion.
Mayor Myers said yesterday that prob
ably other streets will be paved during
the summer, as well: The sanitary .ordi-
nances prohibiting the upturning of soil
in the streets during the summer months
will not interfere, in has opinion, as most
of the work contemplated for the sum-
mer months is on new streets, which are
removed from the center of the city, the
soil of which has not had time to be-
come contaminated with constant addi-
tons Of NTH. The slight depth to when
the soil is turned up in paving is not
sufficient to be dangerous, the mayor
thought.
Col. Garrards ordinance to prohibit the
use OF the asphalt streets by drays and
other vehicles when heavily loaded will
come up tonight, and If passed at all,
it will be with considerable amendment.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD.
Gen. Thomas Prominently Identified
with Southern Railroad Interests.

Gen. Thomas Prominently Identified
with Southern Railroad Interests.
Gen. Samuel Thomas is in Savannah
looking after the winding up of affairs in
connection with the old Central railroad. of
whose property he was the purchaser
with Mr. Thomas F. Ryan, for the new
company, the Central of Georgia Railway
Company
Gen Thomas is becoming more and
more identified with the railroad interests
of the south. His connection with the East
Tennessee before it went into the South
ern will be recalled, and his work in con-
nection with recognizing the Central. and
putting it on its preset basis is familiar to
all who have taken an interest in the mat
ter.
Gen. Thomas, it Is said, is now turning
his attention to the railroad situation in
South Carolina, and there has been some
talk of union with the South Carolina
railroad, the Port Royal and Western
Carolina, and the Port Royal and Au-
gusta, for the purpose of forming a svs-
TEN with an outlet at Charleston, and
making a connection as far west as Knox
vile. Gen. Thomas was asked yesterday
if there was anything new in this situa-
ton.
1T is too early yet. and the plan is too
immature to talk about what may be
done. The Port Royal and Augusta is
still in the hands of the courts, and of
course nothing definite can be done until
we know just what we've got to act on -
Gen. Thomas stated on his former visit
to Savannah that such a system of rail-
roads has been talked off, and that there
would be no trouble about it, provided
capitalists would interest themselves and
back the enterprise.

Friehtful Disaster on the Altel !
>.ss.7 Glacier Near she Gemmi Pass. r
A CORRESPONDENT, writing to us from
Zurich ON the 18th inst. says: f'At day
break on Wednesday frightful disaster
took place at distance of four miles
A huge mass of ice, measuring 1,25O, 600
cubic metres, detached. itself from the
Altels glacier, and was precipitated into
the. valley. Such was the impetus Of thu,
mighty avalanche that it was not, checked
in the valley, but dashed UP the opposite
side, which has a, slope, of IS degrees,
to a height Of 1900 feet, carrying every
which sent the main mass surging back.
At the foot of this rock lies, or rather
lay, the Spita lmatte, al. exceedingly beau
tlful and rich mountain pasture, with
chalets for the cowherds, for storing
cheeses, etc. At the time of the dis
aster there were collected there, $50 head
!, of valuable cattle under the care of four
from l+euk, who had come up to arrange
about bringing down the cattle, which

what bothers most people who think
anything about the subject" said Kear-
ney P. Speedy, a high diver, who began
his public career by jumping head first
years ago, lis how dive of fifty or sixty
feet can be made into tank of thirty-six
inches of water.
You see. they confuse diving with
bridge jumping-quite a different thing.
Bridge jumpers are neither jumpers nor
divers--theyr choppers; that is, they
reach the lower rods of the bridge truss
and drop feet foremost in to the water.
The trick is to maintain the perpendicular.
They must have plenty of water under
them, too. The high diver, as you have
seen, makes a clear dive, head first, just
as boy does from spring-board in
swimming.
Il do it in very shallow water. I
weigh, stripped, $50 pounds, and never do
any training. I have been diving from the
top of circus tent all summer into a
tank but seven feet wide and into water
but three feet deep ~.~;...
THE shallow water dive is possible

rifle shot meets the most resistance the
more powerful the impact You see, I

would do or an ore on the feather. I
learned this trick in the St. Louis natato-
rum when a boy, practicing in shallow
water and from a greater height. Then
there is certain elasticity in the water

in the strike and turn, for water will

COOKERY IN IRELAND.

'r'.*> tional Dish There.
There is no national dish in Ireland.
The compound of mutton, onions and DO
tatoes, which goes by the name of Irish
stew in all our cookery books, was in
vented in quite recent times by Alexis
Soyer. and while it is very sayory and
popular dish. when we'll made, is GER
tainly not a very delicate one.
The Scotch have many good dishes in
their national housekeeping, the Irish
not one. We look in vain for the whole
some barley broth which every Scotch
woman can make, or the toothsome hag-
gis, the dish that so well exemplifies the
national thrift, proving that out of what
is usually thrown aside they can make
a really sayory and appetizing Wand
Nothing of the kind is known on the op-
posite side of ST. Georges channel. The
tid-bits of which the savory haggis is
made are thrown away by the Irish
butcher. even in Ulster, where Scotch
habits are in the ascendant, and where
the people are more than half-Scotch by
blood.
a clever writer upon domestic mat
tiers has said that the potato has been
the ruin of Irish cookery. The state
ment is true one. Easy of culture,
easily prepared for the table, the whole

ity necessary to the sustenance of the
human frame. With milk, which in a
pastoral country is not hard to obtain
by even the poorest, it is as sustaining
as more varied diet: and when supple

But it is miserable fare, and the or9in-
airy Irish peasant takes not the slightest
trouble in DreDaring it.
