CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

A special meeting was held Monday
evening to re-adopt the final paving
resolution to make sure of correcting
an alleged defect in the time of its
former adoption.
The council then convened in regu-
lar session.
Some residents in the Fifth ward

abandoned dwelling alleging that 1t Is

A little piece of Custer street on
"the hill" was added to the part order
ed improved to make complete job
of it.
Rahr Sons Company's request for
better fire protection was granted to
the extent of one hydrant.
The famous lost sewer on Franklin
street was discussed, all to no pur-
pose.
The common use of domestic sewers
for surface drainage and roof drainage
purposes was vigorously denounced.
Engineer PITT disapproved of it. On
motion a committee of five was APP
pointed to Investigate and report. ="
This use overtaxes the capacity of the
sewers and causes much damage, in
convenience and avoidable profanity.
The mayor made five more appoint
ments to the city library board. Re
appointments are Misses Lueps and
Richter, A. j. Wyseman and Frank
Hoffman. The new member is Miss
Helen Platt
An ordinance was introduced striking
from an old nuisance" ordinance the

wanted action some way and that at
once. The issue resolves itself into the
question of whether the cost of extend
ing the water system should be borne
by all the water consumers or by
abutting property owners. The mayor
said at is strange that here am ad-
vocating an individualistic solution

JEFF DAVIS TO HIS ARMY.-,Jetl
Davis has issued the following con-
gratulatory address to his army in
Eastern Virginia:
Richmond, July ), tS62,
Solders-I congratulate you on the
series of brilliant victories which, un-
der favor of Divine Providence, YOU
have lately won, and, as the president
Of the Confederate States, do heartily
tender you the thanks of the country
whose just cause you have so skillfully
and heroically saved Ten days ago an
invading army, vastly superior to you
in numbers and materials of war,
closely beleagured your capital and
wantonly proclaimed its speedy con-
quest. You marched to attack the
enemy in his entrenchments. With
we'll directed movments and death dar-
ing valor, you charged upon him in his
strong position, drove him from field to
field. over distance of twenty-five
miles, and despite his reinforcements,
compelled him to seek safety under the
cover of his gunboats, where he now
lies covering before the enemy he so
lately derided and threatened with
subjugation. The fortitude with which
you have borne the tolls and privations,
the gallantry with which you have
entered into each succeeding battle,
must have been witnessed to be fully
appreciated; but a grea.ul people will
not fail to recognize your deeds and
bear you in loved remembrance. Well
may it be said of you that you have
done enough for glory, but duty to a
suffering country ana to the cause of
constitutional liberty claims from you
yet further efforts. Let it be your
pride to relax in nothing which can
promote your future efficiency, your
one great object to drive the invader
from your soil, carrying your standard
beyond the outer works of the confed-
eracy, so winning from an unscrupul-
Gus foe that recognition which is the
birthright of every independent com
munity. JEFF Davis.

Volume of the Pilot.

DRAFTING The late call for three
hundred thousand troops seems to meet
with cold response from the people,
and we hear OF but little volunteering.
Should the government be unsuccess-
full in raising this new levy, drafting
will, we think, be resorted to. The
New York World, a Republican paper,
is opposed to this system, and hopes
SIT will not be said that we of the
North have been compelled to resort
to draft to fill the lines of our armies
in the field. Let us have no unwilling
soldiers in the ranks; that has been the
crowning shame cf the rebel confeder-
acy, Let press and pulpit, all public
and all social influences, be brought to
bear before the word "draft" is used
The blood of nation is again up, and
little money combined with good
deal of management must be made to
give the government all the men it
will require"

STOPPING PLACES FOR BIRDS
Project Approved by Certain Wealthy
sportsmen Rouses the scorn
Of One Writer.

Immense preserves in which mi
gratory birds may rest without fear
of interruption in their flights to the
southwark in the early winter and to
the north with the return of spring
are within the scope of plans sug-
gested by the National Audubon So
ciety and approved by certain
wealthy sportsmen.
Just how these philonithic indi-
viduals and organizations expect to
notify the mallards and wild geese
where to make their stop-overs in
their long flights in search of con-
genial climate has not yet been dis
closed in the publication Of the
plans, though without some such
general understanding with the birds
the scheme, which contemplates the
expenditure of several millions Of
dollars for lands, possibly might
prove a failure.
1t is a beautiful sentiment that
leads these men, some of whom are
known to have amassed their for
tunes by working poor men, women
and children to the limit Of theiI
strength and endurance and for the
irreducible minimum of wage, tC
spend large sums Of money to pro
mote the happiness of didappers and

able TO look for the girl. He
had the center, and for a moment
his glance wandered over the foot
lights, then rested upon the left box,
where, sitting well forward and close
to the man, whose arm encircled her
chair, was the girl. All the
pent-up love Of her nature was in
her eyes when they met his, but,
looking swiftly from her, he caught
the mans eye, and a sudden spasm
of jealousy shot through him.
"There he was working with all
his strength to win success for her," /"
he thought, vicious!y, "and she sat
calmly by, not reveling in his tri-
umph, but obviously enjoying the
companionship of another man, and
handsome one at thatr"
The girl smiled the winsome little
smile that he loved, and blew him a
kiss, but they we're unheeded by the
fierce anger that ragged in his soul
against the man, who with perfect
repose watched his every move.

of these probably being the presence
of numerous bands of brigands. To
guard against the attacks Of these
gentry, road guards have been ap-

who patrol the highway to see that
no robberies of travellers and cara
vans take place. 1t is a case, how
ever, of the remedy being almost as
bad as the disease. These so-called

both travellers and muleteers. They

demand more, and so rapacious have
they become that travellers are usu-

THE EVIL EYE.
Press.

Belief in the evil eye exists in all
lands, but especially in Italy. 1t ex-
listed in ancient Egypt. The "eye"
is seen on the prOws of Spanish and
italian ships and on Mexican buck
lers. 1t is seen on amulets taken
from the ashes of Herculaneum and
Pompeii. In some places it is sur
rounded by elephants, serpents and
scorpions, animals that were sup
posed to hold talismanic power
against it. Many celebrities of his
tory-Napoleon among others-be-
lieved in the evil eye and feared it.
Among the masses of the eastern and
European nations the belief is al
most universal. 1t is one of the SUI
perstitions that persist, despite the
progress of science and reason.
