 The Water Witch pushed her way up the river slowly, carrying on her Investigations without trouble until Feb. 1, 1855. On that day she was teaming up the River Parana, which forms the boundary line between Paraguay and Corrientes, one of the states of the Argentine confederacy, when scud- denly a battery opened fire on the steamer. Before she could get out of range one of the seamen on board was killed. President Carlos A. Lopez had taken offense at the conduct of the American consul and, among other hostile demonstrations, he is- sued decree forbidding foreign vessels of war from navigating the waters of Para quay. All reparation was refused There upon congress authorized the sending of naval force of character that would com pei Paraguay to offer the satisfaction de- manded. Nineteen vessels were fitted out. seven of them steamers. the squadron car rying 200 guns and 2,500 men. Flag Officer w. Bradford Shubrick was placed in com mand, with the Hon. MT. Bowline, who was appointed a special commissioner of the United States, intrusted with the negotia- tions.
 It was at the close of 1858 that the force assembled at Montevideo. The Water Witch was one of the squadron, but on this occasion was all in trim for returning shot for shot. The other ships were the frigates Sabine and St. Lawrence; two sloops-of- war; Falmouth and Preble; three brigs, Dolphin, Bainbridge and Perry; six steam CTS, Memphis, Caledonia, Atlanta, Southern Star, Westernport, M w.

prisoner, Ingraham sent communication to that effect to Commander Schwarse of the Hussar, intimating that in case of re- fusal he would be compelled to use force. During the night an Austrian schooner mounting ten guns came into the harbor and boat from the Hussar at once board ed her, followed by great activity and hustle on board both Austrian vessels. Daylight revealed them cleared for action; an example that was at once followed by the St. Louis, the tap of the drum ringing out blithely the American blue jackets repaired to their stations, and, with ports thrown open revealed the battery ready for it's deadly work. Ingraham walked the quarter deck waiting for the final dis patch from Constantinople, momentarily expected.
 At this exciting stage of the crisis note was delivered on board from the Austrian consul stating that in order to avoid blood shed he would agree that the prisoner be placed in charge of the French consul pending further negotiations. As Ingra-

 On Jan. 25 1859, this squadron sailed up and came to anchor off Ascension, the capi- tai of Paraguay. The president of the Argentine confederacy had volunteered his services as mediator, and arrived at Para quay in advance of the naval force Mean while such of the men-of-war as were cap able of ascending the river had taken up position ready to open fire, representing a force of TAO officers and men and seventy eight guns. When President Lopez viewed the hostile force confronting him his arro- gance vanished and overtures of peace were eagerly pushed, so that by Feb. 5, MT. Bowliness demands were acceded to and new commercial treaty established without a gun being fired.

Is evident from the work already begun and from the plans which have been made public that the underground electric sys- tems are likely to drive out almost all the remaining horse cars and to take the place of most of the cables. The Metropolitan Traction company has found that the un- derground electricity Is a more satisfac- tory motive power than the cable. The Third avenue company has had better for tune with its cables than the Metropolitan has had in Broadway, and the Third ave- nue Is making so much money with its ex- isting machinery that it may not do away with its cables for a considerable period. Not many years have passed since the horses in the Bowery and in Third avenue gave way to the cables but the Third ave- nue company, although it has been conn pelled to expend large sums in the changes which 1t has made, is now paying hand some dividends, and is likely to pay still larger ones in the future. In fact, it is obvious that the transportation companies which run cars on the surface anywhere on Manhattan Island and almost anywhere in Brooklyn are sure to have years and de- cades of splendid prosperity before them. All this part of the United States Is in- creasing steadily and even rapidly in popu- lation, while the number of visitors from every point of the compass is expanding impressiyely every year. Most unfortunate 1t is for the taxpayers of New York and Brooklyn that the corporations which are certain to amass prodigious riches by car rying people through our avenues and streets are not required to contribute more generously to the public fund.
 It would be difficult to discover any, where within this county and anywhere in Kings county corporation using the streets which gives to the community an adequate return for the privileges which it enjoys. The people of these great cities have been surrendered to the untender mercies of these corporations, and the men in control of these companies show no dis position to pay to the cities what they ought to pay. Mistakes of the worst kind have been made in the past in be- slowing so much upon these corporations and getting so little in return.
 Under the new charter new enterprises in surface transportation will be required

Too Much Salt

From the Journal of Hygiene.
 The use of salt as condiment is so gen. eral and so universally believed in as neces- sary that we rarely hear word against its excessive use, but there are a multi tude of persons who eat far too much salt; eat 1t on everything-on meat. fish, pota- toes, melons, in butter, on tomatoes, tur- nips and squashes, in bread, and on a host of foods, too numerous to mention. To is relished which has not salty taste, and this hides more or less the real taste, which is often very delicate. Now, the amount of salt required in the system is comparatively small. and if the diet has been rightly compounded, very little is necessary. Some go SO far as to discard its use altogether, but whether this is wise or not, we will not here consider What are some of the evils of the excess sive use of salt? They are to paralyze the nerves of taste, or to pervert them so that they cannot enjoy anything which has not a salty flavor, and in addition there is direct tax on both the skin and the kidneys in removing it from the blood. Whether the skin Is harmed by this tax we do not know. Possibly it is not great ly injured, yet we know that few people possess a healthy skin; but it is now pretty well settled that an excessive use of salt does overtax the kidneys in It's removal, and that the great number of cases of de- rangement and disease of these organs is due to this use. It takes only little time to learn to enjoy many kinds of food with out salt, and we advise our readers and others to look into this matter and to try and diminish the use of this condiment as far as possible. We believe they will be better for It.

AGAINST OVERHEAD WIRES.
The Underground System Urged for Greater
 New York.

From the New York Tribune.
 In the granting of privileges to street car companies New York and Brooklyn have been exceedingly lavish in the last half century. In recent years the opportunities for profit on the part of these corpora tions have been immensely lucrative. Be- fore cables and electricity were used in connection with street travel some of the companies which ran horse cars on either side of the East river were managed with little ability, and the revenues of such companies were somewhat scanty. Ere quently the managers in those days were appointed on account of kinship to the large holders of stock or for other reasons than the possession of marked executive ability. The service of the horse car lines in New York and Brooklyn a quarter of a century ago was wretched, and the man. agement of the majority of the lines was slow, unenterprising, unprogressive and actually stupid Poor as was the class of the most of the horses, the companies paid prices for them far higher than the market prices of today. The cost of the cars and the outlay for supplies in the sixties and in the early seventies were by no means moderate. For these reasons-ineffcient management, high prices for horses, for hay and for cars-some of the street car lines failed to gratify the stockholders by paying big dividends.
 A marvellous revolution in street travel has been accomplished within twenty-five years, and radical changes on vast scale are even now in progress. In a few years horse cars will be well-nigh unknown with in the territory of the present city of New York and the present city of Brooklyn. Kings county is covered with network of trolley lines, and almost every avenue, al- most every street, and almost every space that can be made use of with profit is af- fiicted with overhead wires. In this city 1t

to do more for the public than the existing companies have been doing. Something will be gained in that way, although the vari- ous lines have. already laid hold upon all the richest areas and the most valuable franchises in the several counties which will make up the Greater New York. It will be the duty of the municipal officials, and in fact of all who have the public in- terest in charge, to compel new corpora tions hereafter eto give as much as possi- bly, can be secured from them in return for the use of the streets and the avenues. No more overhead electric wires should be strung anywhere, from the furthest verge of Staten Island to the Yonkers line, or from the North river on the west to the eastern extremity of the Greater New York. Every company which now uses electricity and every new company which intends to use electricity should be required to use the underground system rather than the overhead system.> It is not necessary here and now to dwell upon the many Hangers which the use of the overhead electric wires involves It has been found in every city in which trolleys are numerous that the fire departments are hampered and embarrassed by the poles and the wires. The number of accidents and disasters of various sorts which have occurred in con-. sequence of the overhead wires is appal- ing No public-sprited official, no one oc- cupying a place of trust who honestly de- sires to serve his fellow citizens, will re- frain from opposing the addition of new overhead wires which does so much mis- chief in Brooklyn and in some other parts of the Greater New York. When the new charter goes into effect the vigilance of all office-holders and of all bodies which have any power of restraint upon the corpora tions which the streets should be car ried out to the utmost. New York and Brooklyn have been far too generous and 4A0 IInraI tA Hl.- should be kept vigorously within bounds hereafter.
