How to Clear Muddy Wafer.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
l saw in the Dispatch a few weeks ago
formula for clearing muddy water with
alum, but do not now remember it. Will
you please republish It, and oblge an old
subscriber? MECHIfM
Three grains Of alum per gallon is suf-
ffcient. A good way is TO dissolve ounce
OF powdered alum in one pint of no,
water. Half pound in a gallon. If a
larger quantity is wanted. Let IL cool
and bottle for use, Stir teaspoonful OF
this mixture (Which contains about 3
grains Of alum for each gallon of water
into the water to be cleaned. Let 1t rest.
and in few hours 0he number will de-
pend on circumstances and cannot be
stated definitely-usually II Is within six
or eight hours) the water will be clear.
wholesome. and suitable for laundry pur-
poses. The chief point In clearing water
by alum is not to exceed grains to the
gallon. The method of using the alum is
immaterial. 1t can be highly recommend
ed to Richmond people.
This formula We get from our distin-
guished chemist, DR.. (Coroner) Taylor.
who uses 1t often, and always with great
satisfaction.

Dear Little Boy Blue, I'm sorry to see
You're grieved for home, for friends, and

And for the "lost sheep. the COWS, and
the corn"
But you seem to be hampered in blow
ing your horn"
Last night as lay on my pillow.
Last night as j lay on the sheet.
In my sweet, peaceful dreams | saw you,
At double-quick march down the street.
When I asked you where you were going,
And what you were going 10 see,
ITO Habana" you answered quickly,
ITO fight with our gallant Fitz Lee"
From the present outlook. tits only in
dreams
That actual service you'll see.
But you'd rather not have the glory, II
seems.
And be safely returned 10 me.
With that In view. you should never pine
For your sweetheart all forlorn,
For from all accounts, you've new one
now,
Down by the river st. John.
You'll ever love Dixie" and Virginia"
too,
But honor the flag now OF Red. White,
and Blue.
And II drugs you need, why just send to
me,
And I'll forward dose from your sweet
GINGER II (TEA).

GARCIA's DIsAFFECTION.

Garcia is neither dead nor sick. On the
contrary he is very much alive and very
well. He is alive enough and well enough
10 promise TO give US a great deal OF
trouble in the way of hindering US In the
work of driving the Spaniards out OF
Cuba and of pacifying the island.
His fit Of sulks over General Skaters
refusal to permit the Cubans to loot SAN
iiago and grab the civil offices in the ter
ritory surrendered by General ToraI, has
eliminated in his resigning his command
of the Cuban army and his giving per-
mission to such of his men as were re-
cruited from the plantations TO go back
is understood that he is continuing mis-
preparations TO try conclusions with the
Spanish forces at Holguin and Manzan-
lilo.
F A dispatch from Washington says that
Garcia's attitude is regarded there as in
applicable. We do not see 1t in that
light. 1t appears to us TO mean simply
that he proposes TO go through the form
Of dlsbanding his army in order that he
may more easily cut loose from the al
lance with us and resume the guerilla
style of warfare that has heretofore OBJ
tanned so largely among the insurgents.
His course and the spirit that has been
exhibited by himself and the men under
him impar strong coloring to the con.
tention that the majority OF the insur-

OF their desire being that we should fur
nish them with food, arms, and ammuni-
ton, and thus put them in position to
wear out the Spaniards and enter upon
a career OF spoliation aral office Selling as
soon as the wearing-out process had
proved successful.
Another Washington telegram says that
regarding Garcia's detection Il is no
ticeable that the officials of the War De-
partment have a good deal OF apprehon-
zion over the outlook" And well they
have to teach the insurgents as summary
lesson as We are teaching the Spaniards
before the work of paciiication on the
Island shall have been completed. That
Will mean, perhaps. the necessity OF
throwing into Cuba many more troops
Than we had expected to employ there.
and consequent heavy Increase in war
expenses. But all the same. we will not
,hirk the task, and the sooner the in
pirgents come 10 recognize that fact the
better II Will be for them.

| PETERSBURG, VA, July 22.-(Special)
! DIR. George Byrd Harrison, of Washing
ton, whose death is announced, was the
son of the late William b. Harrison, of
| Brandon, and the youngest brother of
| Captain C. Shirley Harrison, so widely
| and so favorably known throughout this
section. DR.. Harrison had many relatives
and friends in Virginia.
A telegram received from Stanton this
morning announces the death of Mrs.
Jennie Brown, who was recently sent to
the State Hospital there for treatment.
Deceased was the daughter of the late
DR.. William Craig, a successful practi-
TONER and at one time a wealthy citizen
Of Dinwiddie and Petersburg. She leaves
one son.
Miss Blance Baxter was accidentally
thrown from her bicycle near the corner
Of Sycamore and Washington streets to-
day. and quite painfully bruised
very handsome gold badge, appropri-
ately engraved, and bearing the coat-of-
arms of Virginia, will be presented to-
morrow evening to Chief-of-Police r. L.
Ragland by his friends on and off the
police corps. IL bears the insignia OF the
rank of the chief, and will be worn by
him while on duty.
1t Is expected that Mr.. William Malone,
the new Collector of Customs for this
port, will take charge of the office about
the first of August. The retiring Collector,
Mr.. T. l.. Shippen has held the office a
little over four years. and has made an
exceptionally fine officer Always polite
and courteous. thoroughly familiar with
every detail of the duties of his office,
he filled the position with entire salts
faction to the government, as well as
those having business with him. His re-
trement is solely due 10 the change Of
administration.
Company A, Captain Webb, OF tho
Colored Battalion, having passed exami-
nation and been mustered into the SER

Richmond tomorrow morning.
Mr.. J. ID. Sublett tho proprietor Of the
Shirley Hotel In this city, lies a the point
of death to-day. and his demise is belley-

He has long been a sufferer from Brights
disease. Mr. Sublett is well known 10 the
travelling public throughout Virginia,
having for many years been engaged IN
keeping hotels at different points in the
State He made friends wherever he

and blue wall paper. and as making .
charming study in blue. In the same
mall came letter In which the corrc-
spondent informed us that lady had had
her little son thrown from q wagon and
run over and was seriously hurt. These
are but specimens OF cases Of twisted
English the news editor has to contend
with nearly every day. while the In
stances Of his having to wrestle with
sentences that are related in subject but
are not put into any sort OF grammatical
relation or connection, are too numerous
TO mention.
Such faults in composition as we have
pointed out above. together with the
"siap-dash" style OF handwriting so much
in vogue. explain why so many letters
undergo so much shrinkage before they
appear In print. The news editor finds II
a great deal easier to cut out entirely
an obfuscated paragraph than to
work 1t over. Again. the news editor Is
human after ALTHOUGH not few cor.
respondents do not think so--and by the
cutting out process he can vent more
viciousIy than in any other way his re
venge for the imposition he feels the
careless, go-as-you-please. can't-take-the-
time you-fx-it-up correspondent has es-
sayed to practice upon him.
Much of the bad manuscript that comes
into newspaper offices is to be attributed
TO haste and carelessness. But 1t is none
the less true, as we have intimated, that
there seems TO be a necessity for more |
attentions being paid TO English or Eng |
lish composition in the latter-day system |
Of education. There seems to be. indeed, a |
necessity for our taking step backward.
The soundness Of this contention will
be apparent to any one who will COM
pare letter written by person who was
educated under the old regime
with the average communication that is
sent TO q newspaper to-day by persons
educated under the new.
