A Widow Marries Her First Husband.
Previous to the late war there lived in this
city a certain colored couple, the husband a
slave and the wife a free woman, who were
legally married. Shortly after this matri
monial alliance was effected the project of
emigration to Liberia was broached among
free persons of color, and was warmly es
poused iu the belief that their condition
would be materially benefited, and quite a
large number left Savannah for the ‘‘prom
ised land.” Among them were the wife re
ferred to abovo and her mother and father,
she having obtained the full consent of her
husband to go. They reached Liberia
safely, and after the lapse of
several months, the wife, wearying
of her sirgle blessedness, so to speak,
concluded to enter tbe matrimonial field
again, and in a short, time remarried, and
lived with this husband until his death,
which occurred a few years since. In the
meantime hu-band No. 1 was in ISavauaab,
and remained here during and after the
war, but failed to follow tho example of his
wife, and continued to plod along without
a companion. After tho close of the war he
attained some notoriety from his connec
tion with the carpet-baggers. Having
learned, however, of tue death of
husband No. 2, ho opened a correspond
ence with bis wife, and by mutual agree
ment they met recently in a Northern city
and were tho second timo united iu mar
riage.
They a rived in Savannah a few days
since, and we understand are apparently as
happy as when married the first time.

A Blaze at the Screven IIou.c.
About eight o’clock last evening attention
was attracted to a very bright and unusual
light in tbe billiard room of tbe Screven
House, and a popular pharmicutist who was
passing oa the opposite side of the street,
hastened over to the saloon and found the
vonng man iu charge calmly discussing the
situation of the Turks with a friend,
ntterlv unconscious of the incipient con
flagration in the rear. Tho trio at once
proceeded to the billiard room, and dis
covered one of the lamps (knowa as a
student lamn), suspended over tho first
table, to bo' on fire, and the burning oil
dropping to the table, setting the cloth on
fire. After some scientific movements,
the cover of the table was seized and
thrown over the burning lamp, thereby
smothering the flame. No damage, and the
Fire Department was not called out.
Discovery of tin Infant in n Box.
Yesterday morning Coroner T. B. Chis
holm was notified that a box containing the
remains of an infant had been fonnd in the
ditch in front of the old Confederate battery
No. 8. It appears that some bovs, whilst
playing in the wa'er in that vicinity on Sun
day afteinooD, came across the box partially
buried, and prompted by curiosity, they
pulled it out and opening it discovered the
body of an infant. The Coroner proceeded
to the place and held ari inquest, but failed
to elicit any information regarding the un
known. Tho remains were so decomposed
that it was impossible to deterpjiue whether
thev were those of a white or mulatto child.
A verdict of death from unknown causes was
rendered.

preference absolutely.

TYBEE ISLAND.
Bathing on the beach of Tybae Island,
Dillying with the waves of grand old Ocean,
Has inspired this giddy brain of mine
With a witchery-watery kind ol notion.
J feel as if I’d like to be a mermaid,
Amphibious, with sea-weeds for my hair,
All interwoven with brightly tinted shells,
And with magic power I’d weave enchanting
spell 3
O’er all the subjects cf old Neptune’s realm so
fair.
They tell us there are gem-studded grottos and
caves
Down deep in the bed of the fathomless Ocean
Where the mermaids dwell. That the gems of
the world
That sink down, down through the wave'.« rest
less motion,
Are claimed by these happy nymphs of the sea,
Who bedeck themselves in the jewels they cap
ture,
To break the hearts of the Tritons, poor fellows,
Who flounder and puff like hoge pairs of bellows,
Whilst the coqueting sea nymphs flirt off in
wild rapture.
It is pleasant, hereon the green isle of Tybee;
But it seems to me it would be grander to dwell
In some “deep sounding’’ salt water retreat,
Where there’s nothing to buy, and nothing to
sell,
Of coarse nothing to pay for, and plenty to eat;
Thus to live on oblivious of the passage of time ;
No duties of file,no fashions,no milliner’s bills;
Forever encircled with phosphoric glories and
prisms so bright—
Knowing no seasons, no day nor no night,
But just left unfettered to float on at our wills.
So when I'm on the beach of Tybee Island,
Bathing in the surf on a moonlight night,
Kind friend, to whomsoe’er my hand is given,
Please remember to c’asp and hold it tight,
For under the influence of such wavy inspira
tion,
In impulsive infatuation, I might become a
loon,
And rashly throw myself upon the waves,
In search of those enchanting haunts and caves,
Lured on by the shimmering pathway of the
moon. Undine.

ESCAPE
OF SEWAGE GAN
DWELLINGS.
INTO
Ad Intensely Interesting Paper.
This question has attracted so much at
tention lately, that it is not necessary to en
large on the evils which arise from the es
cape of sewer air into dwellings. One
striking instance may, however, be given,
which shows the great need there is for
adopting other precautions than those usual
ly taken. We take it from a paper publish
ed by Rogers Fields, Memb. Inst. C. E., in
the Juno number of the Journal of the So
ciety of Arts, London.
Twenty-five years ago (in 1852), an alarm
ing outbreak of fever took place at Croydon,
on the introduction of a regular system of
sewerage. The circumstances were thor
oughly investigated at the time by Govern
ment Commissioners, and by several inde
pendent medical and engineering authori
ties, who arrived at substantially the same
conclusion, viz : that one of the chief causes
of the outbreak was the escape of foul air
into the houses, through the defective con
struction aud absence of ventilation of the
sewers and house drains. Two years ago
(in 18.75), another considerable, though less
serious, outbreak of fever took place at the
same town, which was very carefully inves
tigated by Dr. Buchanan, Assistant Medical
Officer to the Local Government Board. The
upshot of his official report to the Local
Government Board (dated April 18sh, 1876),
was that the chief way in which the enteric
fever spread was “the most direct and com
mon place way of all, namely, by the escape
of infected air from the sewers” into the
houses, aud its inhalation by persons sus
ceptible to the disease.
Now, in the twenty-three years which had
elapsed since the first outbreak of fever,
very great improvements had been made
both iu the public sewerage and private
drainage of Croydon. Considerable attention,
moreover, had been paid to ventilating the
house drains, and making the waste pipes of
sinks, etc., discharge with open ends outside
the houses. It, therefore, appears surpris
ing that any general passage of sewer air
into the houses should have been possible.
The explanation is, however, I believe, a
simple one, and has been correctly given by
Dr. Buchanan, namely, that the house drains
and soil pipes are in uninterrupted commu
nication with the public sewers, so that, to
quote his expressive words: “The air of the
sewers is, as it were, ‘laid on’ to houses.”
The arrangement whereby the sewer air is
“laid on” to houses, is not in any way pecu
liar to CroydoD, but is that usually adopted
iu connecting houses with sewers in the me
tropolis and elsewhere; aud as I believe the
method of connection to lie at the root of
the evil, I propose to direct my remarks
chiefly to this.
It is, of course, evident that, unless some
precautions are taken, the pipes or drains
which connect the housos with the sewers
will allow sewer air to escape into the houses.
The question is, what precautions are ne
cessary? aud with reference to this I think
there 13 a wide-spread misconception. It is
gen> rally assumed that all that is required
is properly to “trap” the drains, and to re
lieve undue pressure of tho sewer gases by
ventilation, so that the traps may not be
forced. Now, this is quite a mistaken no
tion, as water-traps of themselves are not
sufficient security, even when in perfect
order and relieved ot pressure. It has been
abundantly proved,both by scientific experi
ment and practical experience, that water-
traps will allow foul gases to pass through
them wheu there is no pressure, the gases
being absorbed on one side of the trapping
water, aDd giving off on the other. I have
had many striking instances of this in
my own practice, some of which I have
published.
Iu considering, therefore, how to prevent
the passage of bowage gases into dwellings,
we must start with the fundamental propo
sition that water-traps of thoraselves are no
sufficient security, and seek for other means
of effecting the object. The only reliable
means, so far as I am aware, are, (1) the
prevention, as far as possible, of the foima-
tion aud accumulation of sewer gases; aud
(2) the severance of the direct communica
tion between tho eewer and the house.
(1.) The formation aud accumulation of
sewer gases can be prevented, to a very-
great extent, by constructing the sewers
and drains, so that there is no retention of
ioul matter in them, and by efficiently ven
tilating them. Efficient ventilation of sew-
ez s, however, implies more than is gener
ally supposed. It is not sufficient merely to
afford relief of undue pressure, but the
openings for ventilation in the sewers must
be sufficiently large and numerous to create
a continuous curreut of fre*h air through
them, so as thoioughly to dilute any gases
which are formed in them, and prevent their
accumulating in a concentrated form.
l2.) The severance of the direct communi
cation between tho sewer and zhe house w;U,
if thoroughly carried out, render any passage
of sewer air into the house practically impos
sible. One of the simplest forms of this
severance, or “air disconnection,” is the
well-known arrangement by which the waste
pipes of sicks, baths, cisterns, etc., are car
ried through the exterior wall, and made to
discharge with open ends over a trapped
gully. By this means any sewage gases
which may pass tho trap ol the gully are
dissipated in the open air, instead of pass
ing on into the house. The same principle,
though in a different form, can be applied
to all drainage connections, so that no drain
of any kind need be allowed to pass direct
from the house to the sewer. By this means
each set of house drains can be, as it were,
isolated into a wholly distinct system, and
thus any r: ;k of sewage gases passing into
tke dweiiiDg be avoided.
It cannot be too strongly insisted on, that
the only way to prevent the eewer air being
“laid on” to dwellings is to isolate the whole
of the bouse drains by disconnection. It. is
often considered that it is sufficient to dis
connect the waste pipes from sinks and cis
terns, aud that the soil pipes of water-clos
ets may be left iu direct communication
with the sewers. This is au entire mistake.
Take, for instance, the arrangement con
demned by Dr. Buchanan, at Croydon, and
which is a very usnal one. The soil-pipe is
left iu direct communication with the sew
ers, and a small ventilating pipe carried up
from the bend of the soil-pipe. This ven
tilating pipe is, of course, an improvement
as far as it goes, but ir wi:l oi.ly prevent
undue pressure, and will not clear the soil-
pipe of sewer air. Iu fact, the ventilating
pipe rather tends to draw sewer air into the
soil-pipe than otherwise; as, if any air ia re
moved by the ventilating pipe, it must bo
replaced by air from the sewers. The effect
of this arrangement is, that if the least
escape of air takes placo into the house
from the soil-pipe or the water closet, it is
“the common air of the sewers, not simply
charged with the impurit oa it may receive
from the particular house, but charged with
any dangerous quality that it may have
brought from other houses.” It is, there
fore, evident that to leave the scil-pipe in
direct communication with the sewers, is
literally to “lay on” sewer air to tho houses.
The only objections to severing the direct
connection of the soil-pipe with tha sewers
which are worth mentioning, so far as I am
aware, are, (1) that the soil-pipe ventilators
will thus be prevented from acting as ven
tilators to the public sewers; aud (2) that a
smell may escape from the opening which is
required on the soil-drain, in order to affect
the disconnection.
As regards the first objection, it cannot
be considered the business of private house
holders to ventilate the public sewers, espe
cially when danger is thereby incurred to
the houses. Moreover, the arrangement of
ventilating the public sewers by eoil-pipe
ventilators is a very insufficient one, as the
openings would be too small a^d too indirect
to create a current of fresh air through tho
sewers, which is the true function of ventil
ation.
Tho second objection appears at first sight
a more plausible one, but the danger of
smell from the disconnecting opening on
tbe soil drain Is more imaginary than real.
I invariably carry out an arrangement of
this kind in my practice, and have never
found any nuisance arise from the opening,
if the house drains and internal drainage
arrangements of tho house are in good
order. It is quite true that if tins is not
the case, there may be smell, but this can
be removed by remedying the defects which
cause the emeJl. In fact, the opening is &
very valuable index to the condition of the
internal drainage of the house, aud any
smell from it should (to quote Dr. Buchauau
again) “be welcomed as an indication (oth
erwise wanting till ill-health occurs) of
something about the drains requiring
amendment.”
The above remark suggests a point which
it may be well to say a few more words
about, in order to avoid misconception, v:z.:
mat the severance of direct communication
between the house drains aud- sewers,
though of vital importance, will by no means
cure all the evils of bad drainage. It, as is
so often the case, the internal drainage ar
rangements of the house are faulty, and the
water-closet apparatus and traps are of de*
fective design, foul matter will bo retained
in and about the house, and will decompose
aud give rise to foul gases. For instance,
the so-called “pau-closei.” apparatus and
“D-traps,” which are so very largely em
ployed in and aJuut London, almost always
collect foul matter, the “D-traps” practi
cally constituting small cess-pools. The
gases thus formed will evidently cot be cut
off by disconnecting the house from the
sewer, but can only be remedied by curipg
the defects in the house which give rise to
Ik 610 - X „ Z,
Having thus pointed out generally tbe
precautions which require to be adopted, in
order to prevent sewer air being “laid on”
to dwellings, it only remains for me to make
a few remarks as to what steps should be
taken to ensure the adoption of these pre
cautions. , , ,, ,
The first step appears to me to be that
the local Board of Heath, or other sanitary
authority, should have a proper set of by
laws prepared for house drainage, based on
sound sanitary principles. The by-laws of
most sanitary authorities are at present
lamentably deficient in this respect, but
there is no reason for their contmuing so, as
the local government board will allow very
stringent by-laws to be adopted. This I can
speak to from actual experience, as the by
laws and regulations for house drainage
allowed by the local government board lor
tbe UppiDgkam sanitary authority, which I
assisted in preparing, embody all the most
important sanitary precautions against the
passage of sewer gases into houses. It is a
good plan to have a few explanatory remarks
attached to the by-laws. Those should be
accompanied by a diagram, showing how
the varions details of disconnection can bo
most simply carried ont in practice.
Tne next step is that the sanitary author
ity should insist on these by-laws and regu
lations beiDg rigidly carried out in ail cases
of new houses or new connections with
the sewers. This would put a stop to tbe
crying evil at present in existence, of new
houses being continually built witn all the
drains directly connected with the sewers,
in such a manner that the passage of sewer
air into the bouses is au absolute certainty,
and would compel architects to pay more
attention to this matter than they do at
present. With reference to old housos, the
case is much more difficult, as the by-laws
conid not be generally enforced in their
case. I am strongly of opinion, however,
that the mere fact of the circulation of
such by-laws and regulations as I have sug
gested amongst tho rate payers, would
greatly facilitate improvements in the
drainage of the houses generally. House
holders at present are, for the most part,
absolutely iu the dark as to what i9 the
proper course to pursue, iu order to remedy
defects in drainage, and would be glad to
obtain practical suggestions such as those
accompanying tbe by-laws. Again, build
ers, who at present are very ignorant on the
subject, would, by having to adhere to the
by-laws in the case of new houses, soon see
the advantage of the improved arrangements
and carry them out when called in to reme
dy defects in existing houses. In short, the
by-laws aud regulations would supply what
is now for the most part absolutely wanting,
viz., an accepted standard as to what is
right in the way of house draiuage.

1 ho Kill'ng of Capt. Cateeby ap R. Jane*
in ^clnia.
'The Columbus Enqufrer of Sunday con
tains the following particulars of the killiDg
of tho distinguished naval officer, Capt.
Jones, at Selma, concerning which mention
was made in the Morning News yesterday.
The Enquirer says:
From all the information we can gather it
seoms that Jones’ son, aged seven, and Har-
rall’s son aged ten, became involved in a
difficulty and fought, young Joaes whipping
Harrall. Upon mveotigation Mrs. Jones
found her boy was to blame, and wrote an
apologetic note to Mrs. Harrall, who was a
near neighbor, and made her boy carry the
note with ms‘.ructions to apologize to young
Harrall, aud also to give some fruit to the
latter to add to the pleasantness. On the
arrival of youug Joae?, Mrs. Harrall, with
out perceiving the note at all, told her
boy he had to whip Jones’ boy, where
upon they fought, which would have
resulted in a second victory for Jones
but for the interference of Mrs. Mabry,
who took jcung Jones home, and
told Capt. Jones of the fact. Ho got his hat
and usual walking cane aud went to Har-
rali’s. Arriving ufc tb9 residence, he was
asked by H. it he came for a difficulty.
He answered. “No; but you acted very con
temptibly in allowing tho boys to fight.”
Other words ensued, aud Harrall, drawing a
pistol, shot Jones in the right breast, frem
which he expired the next day.
The preliminary examination was held
yesterday, the result of which we failed to
hear.
Gen. Tcttus is among the prosecuting
lawyers in the case.
A Chnriiub:c Suggestion,
Editor Morning i\eios : Laet week news
was received of the great destruction by fire
in St. John, N. B., and of the destitution
among the sufferers, bat as yet no steps have
been taken by our people toward tendering
relief or sympathy. Do we so soon forget tbe
kiadeess shown to ourselves by the people
north, south, east and west in the time ol
our own tribulation.
Every day show’s that some city has moved
in the matter, aud we stand idle.
Let it nol be said that Savannah is un
grateful, and forgets in prosperity the good
received in her hour of adversity. I am
aware that we are poor, business dull, a
heavy debt hanging over our head, but we
can surely raise a small amount and send it
with words of sympathy, to those who are
now in worse need than we were when we
asked for help.
Let the Mayor call a meeting of the citi
zens who are in favor of this cause, and let
it he done at once. “ Vtrbum sap.”

Explanatory.
Editor Morning Neics: I observe in the
columns of your paper, June 25th, under the
head of Superior Court, a case—Malvina H.
Thomas et. al., etc.—in which my name is
mentioned as having obtained possession of
property by contract of sale which I refute
to fulfill. The simple fact in this case is
that I bought from John Sullivan, as agent,
a tract of land and deposited the money in
the Merchants’ National Bank, payable to
the Joint order cf said Sullivan and myself,
to pay for this land as soon as satisfactory
titles were made; and after investigating
the ownership of the seller to this laud sim
ple possession was tho only ownership that
has been produced, and I was not disposed
to receive a title based upon possession
alone ; and this is called refusing to fulfill
a contract; aud this is not all, for the right
under possession has been and is now under
investigation ; and yet this libel of refusing
to comply witn a contract has been publish
