A courteous and polite note from
Mrs. Julia Heiskill, of .Knoxville,
Tenn., to the writer announced tbe
fact that be would receive by express,
prepaid, a package of books for tbe
public library. She baa never seen
onr library and probably never saw
any other member than tbe writer,
and that only for a few moments, yet
st^is sufficiently interested to lend a
helping band, aud yet we have many
people here at home, amply able, who
do not even belong to tbe organiza
tion, much less make contributions.
For tbe benefit of the Library mem
bers, we give below tbe books contri
buted:
John Marshall, by Mngruder.
Villette, by Cnrrer Bell.
Flato; translated by Cary.
Fifty Years of the English Consti
tution, by Sheldon Amos.

The Nt«' .Tall.
Work on the new jail is about fin
ished, and a neat job it is. The front
of the bnilding is nicely finished, be'
® ing four rooms and a kitcboD, com'
pletely shut off from the rest of tbe
building, except by a door from the
. hallway. The cells of tbe lower floor
are built of double thicknesses of
heavy plank, with sheet iron between,
tbe doers being of wrought iron bars,
riveted together. Above stairs will
be located the steel cages. These
have not yet been put in. Tbe build
ing cost $7,000, and we are pleased to
know that if not already paid for the
funds aro in the treasury with which
to pay for it. It certainly is a credit
to the connty and an ornament to tbe
city, if it is a jail. Contractor Aoder-
son has added another laurel to bis
wreath as an architect and builder,
for everyone who passes along New
castle street iDvolantarily remarks,
* "Handsome building.” Sheriff Ber
rie nnd family will occupy tbe rest
dence part of tbe building.

II** the City a Right to do This?
Passing along Bay street tbe past
week we observed preparations be
ing made to lay a sidewalk on the
east side of the street. Immediately
in front of Mr. Win. Anderson tbe ex
cavation was about fifteen inches or
more, in making which tlio earth on
one side of his shade trees—three
magnificent oaks—was "necessarily
taken away to that depth. Now
when the street is graded to the
same depth those trees will either die
or be blown down by tbe wind.
We sound the alarm and UBk, te
thers no redress for such as tnis?
Can Coancil cut uud destroy, at will,
the shade trees around a man’s prem
tees, the growth of years, end thereby
deteriorate value of a man's property;
for these lot- wi'l be worth $500 less
without these trees than with them
We doabt very seriously if Mr. An
derson would have them removed for
that money. We are not versed in law
but it does seem to ns that tbere is
some little equity at least mixed up
justat that point. Besides, our shade
trees are among the greatest attrac
tions of our city. It is these that at
tract tbu eye of t-lie stranger who vis
its onr city. For onr part we would
prefer the streeti- to be a little rolling
rutl.er than ocstroy such trees as
these.
Are Vou Tired of Being sick.
We want a word to the men, wo-
uieu and girls who work iu stores,
offices aud factories. There are hun
dreds of tlionsan Is of yon in the
country. Very few of yon shut up
too much and exercise too little. In
this way you get sick. Your blood is
ha t, your digest ion poor, your bend
ofteu aches, your don't feel like work.
Your liver, stomacti and kidneys are
out of order. Parker’* Tonic Inis
cured hundreds of such catei. It is

ELECTRIC EELS.
An exc|inDge, speaking of tbe above
b, says:
Swimming about in one of the
large tanka of Mr. Eugene G. Black
ford, in Fultou market, yesterday,
was a large aud peculiar-looking eel,
before which crowds gathered all day
and gazed with wondering eyes. Tbe
fish was a specimen of the Oymnolus
electrics or electrio eel, before and is
tbe first of the new speoies that was
ever brought alive to New York. It
lias tbe power of giving to a person
wbo touches it an elecric shock similar
to that produced by coming in con
tact with n Leyden jar. Early in tbe
day the fish was kept in an open
marble tank, hut so many persons
seized it aud were sent shivering
back that it was moved and placed
ont of the reach of tbe eurions by be
ing placed in a higher recepticle.
The eel came from Brazil, in the
waters of wbicb it is at borne, and
this' specimen is about three feet
long. It differs from tbe eel found
in these waters by haviDg no continu
ous dorsal fin, its back being perfect
ly smooth and round. In place ol
tbe dorsal, however, the Gymnolus
eleclrious, has a long anal fin, extend
ing on tbe ventral line from tbe
tbroet to the tail. The head is shaped
something like that of a catfish, and
is providod with two very small but
brilliant eyes. Tbe color is a muddy'
brown, speckled on the sides with
with bright red spots, and tho lower
9ide of the beud is also a reddish tiDge.
That may be tbe first electrio eel
brought to New York, but if we are
rightfully informed is not the only
one in this country. At Wnynesville,
twenty-five miles from this city, is
the famous sulphur spring to wbicb
invalids used to resort in years gone
by for health. We learn from those
familiar with tbe spring that it con
tains electrio eels. A gentleman re
siding near tbere informs us that he
has seen them, and one day witnessed
a fearful encounter between one of
them and n luckless moccasin that
chanced to seek the cooling water of
tbe spring. Whether this be the
same eel described In the above, we
do not know, but that electrio eels
are found in the above spring, num
bers of peoplo can testity.

THE ’WATERWORKS CONTRACT.
Berlin, Md., Ang. 26tb, 1885.
Eorom Asvmmux un> timu-
I loft home on tbe 4th inst.; ar
rived in New York on tbe 7tb; “took
in” as muob of tbe city that day as
any boy of eleven; saw great many
fine bouses draped in silk and velvet;
tbe whole oity was lovely. Tbe next
morning we all had seats on tbe ve
randa at tbe Metropolitan to see the
procession of Gen. Grant. At 9-30 a
preparatory signal of three shots were
fired in City Hall Park; also a second
signal by Gen. Aspinwall at 10 o'clook,
and every column was in order, and
tbe whole march was grand. I sat
spell-bound for five hours and was
not tired. I saw tbe President and
lots of distinguished men. I saw tbe
“Gate City Guards"—old Georgia
boys—and they were as fine and no-
ble-looking a set as I ever looked
upon. I could not begio to tell you
all I saw; so I will puss on from tbe
greatest funeral I ever expect to see,
and "let the dead nnd -tbe beautiful
rest.”
I went over to Coney Island, and a
grand show it was. Everything is
there—theatres, shows, swings,
elevator that gives yon a fifty-mile
view—carousals and lots of other
things, too numerous to mention. I
thought I left everybody in Net*
York, bnt when I got tbere every
body seemed to be over tbere. So I
went back again, and just so it seems
in New York—“All went to town be
cause I did.” So when I go back
home I hope to find all there doing
well and bnppy. Of coarse I crossed
the Brooklyn bridge—once I rode and
once I walked—and a great, long
bridge I thought while walking, for
tbe sun wns bot.
I also took in Philadelphia, and
would not be mad a bit if I bad to
live tbere. Sbe is all that is said
abont ber. I saw a building wbicb
will be tbe finest, when completed, in
tbo United States.
I have been on tbe wing ever Bince
I left, until a few days ago I landed
safe bat hnDgry at this beautiful and
charming little place, and this is tbe
first time I have been still long enough
to write. Grandmama bad lots of
goodies awaiting our arrival, and I
have been hungry no more; for fruits
of nil kinds—even to blackberries—
are in abundance, and ob, such n jol
ly time I am having! I have so many
cousins, uncles and aunts that I get
them dreadfully mixed; bnt the boys
can piny ball to perfection. The surf
bathing here is grand—I menu down
at Ocean City; it is about ten min
utes' ride from here. If “oor boys”
vns here to take n drive with me, I
would bo happy, but yon are not; so,
boys, please take care of my dog,
Cato, do not let anyone hurt his feel
ings. Remember me kindly to him
and I will be thankful to you;] also
to my big gray cat.
I must stop now, as I fear Ifhnve
already become tedious. Regards to
Messrs. Cook nnd Wallace, and tell
them I attend Sabbath School regu-
1-irly. Love to ail our hoys and girls.
Yours truly,
Willie D. Burbage.
