We dislike to be forever telling
our readers over sod qver about the
above subject, but* we are in pursuit
of “light,” not. only for ourselves,
hut others. The Newsman seems to
be burdened with jbut one idea, and
that is mneraye or ho mrerage. He
has gone so fn- as u> interview a
drummer all the way from some
where, to prove that sowerage would
be a great advertisement for our
oity. There is no man so utterly
blifid} or possessing so little sense, as
not to know that every place requires
some system of sewefage—some way
to get rid of its filth. That is not the
questions at issue. Let us state

about the sewerage or .other public* them, for there’are several:
Improvements bo referred-—as to
sewerage to decide how much, and
where most needed, to be done each
year, or whether the v&ole place as
mapped put shall • be done at once.

rules add regulations as the Conbeil
shall deem- best, This insures the
continued work on any given place

plan is prudent and. stable.

ANOTHER CONTEST.
A-' Christmas afternoon there is to be
'^she big match of the season
Three fine turkeys will be shot ^or—
each marksman shooting thirty sin
gle and ton double shots, in all fifty
clay pigeons. This 'should settle
pretty conclusively the matter of
clay pigeon prowess. In so largo a
number of shots it would be hardj
a man to do other than show his ri
ability as a marksman. The general
average would show, him up in his
real light as a shootist. The win
ners in this contest might well be
considered the champions of the
club.

Professor Blako, the Kansas

weather than we htfvo had in sixty
years. The floods will be grpat, and
the drouths will be still greater.
Still it is some comfort to reflect
that Professor Blako may bo no wiser

The Atlanta Constitution says:
In 1868 there was doing business in
this city an old and highly respected
citizen, who, a fefc years ago, died.
Durfng his business as a merchant
he did a credit business, and a lady
living here became indebted to him
in the sum of $24. By some reason
she became in very straitened cir
cumstances and could not pay the
bill. She left the city, and tho
amount was forgotten by the mer
chant and known nothing abodt by
^iis heirs. One day this week, how
ever, one of his sons went to the
office and secured from the box a let
ter addressed to bis father. He was
very much surprised to find that it
contained $24 in bank notes, with a
bill which the father had presented
twenty years ago. The bill, too, was
interesting. Meal was charged $1.8.0
per bushel, thread ten cents per
spool, molasses $1.40 per gallon, and
everything else in proportion. Tho
lady stated that she had been in
very bad circumstances until lately,
when she had come into the prosscs-
sion of some money and wanted to
pay theJiHl.
A certain class of thieves in New
York seem to make a good deal of
money. Two men were arrested in
that city the other day, and they
pleaded guilty to stealing from the
hallways of fashionable residences.
Within a very short time they suc
ceeded in getting possesion ofabout
$500 wortli of overcoats, and no
doubt a good many of their robber
ies were not traced. They thought
the business sufficient!}' remunera

Printers Exempt from Disease.
Owing to the dust arising from
type metal, and the tendoncy of com
positors to lean over the case while
at work, it has been frequently as
serted that tho printing. bnsiness is
not conducive to long life, . This U a
mistake. There is scarcely an indoor
occupation, when care as to eatihg
and drinking is observed, that is
healthier than that of printing. Dur
ing fever periods in the Southern
States, they were singulnrly exempt
Recently the cholera prevailed in
Chili, causing great mortality among
the people, yet out of one hundred
members of the typographical union
of Valparaiso, not one member had
been attacked..
In the visitation of yellow fever in
the fifties in Alabama and New Or
leans, tho printers were the last to
leave their post of duty. On one oc
casion the writer passed through
Montgomery, A labaraa, where a com
positor on the Alabama State Journ
al was the only white inhabitant in
the plague stricken city. As we
were then returning to New York,
we had to pass cither through chol
era at Nashville and in Virginia, or
go through yellow fever at Mobile or
New Orleans, so we did not tarry in
the city; but on returning next sea

tance of this brave typo, lint found

A Case of “Prejudice.” /
A New York wopan has scoured a
divorce from her husband on the
sole grouneb that ho deceived her
into marriage by assuring her that*
the dark tint of his skin came from
Portuguese and not from negro blood.
Many of our Northern friends assure
us that there ia no prejudice, or at *
least discrimination, ogalnBt the ne
gro in tbeir pail of the country. In
view of the ease just cited, wo would
like to ask them a question; Would
tho court havo held it to be good
ground for divorce had tho man been
a blond and deceived tho woman by
telling her be derived his complet
ion from a Russian ancestry, when
in truth it came to him with his
German blood ?, Wo think the‘court
would havo refused to listen tq a plea
so silly—would have regarded it as
mere subterfuge. The truth is,
that negro blood is as much under
the ban North as South.
