The fact that Mr. Garrard managed ' to i dr«\v hit own pistol and kill t\o of his assailants aud wound, two others and then make good his escape amid a shower of lend, saving his company’s money, shows him to be as fine a horse man as he is a marksman, and as level headed as he is brave. ■.j_. . ..

Consider r iug its size and fonauaercial im ’ portanoe, it is probably the dir ' i tieet and most unsanitary city in the Wtateru Hemisphere. Capt. Davis, who was appoint ed by Geu. Greene some time , ago t® make a thorough inspec tion cf the iity , has nearly com pleted his and pronounces Havana the most unsanitary } place, under existing conditions, or. the Western side of the At lantic. Vienna, with a million and halt population, he says, aver ages only 25 death® to the thou sand and it i® called the pesthole lof Europe, wliile Have.ua, with one-sixth as many people, shows i a larger death rat® in 11 mon’h® than Vienahas In 12. He eeti iiiates that the deaths in Havana this year will outnumber those of Chicago, which is seven times as populous by 5,000, aud will exceed the total® of Boston, St, Louis, San Francisco and Bal- • timore combined. These comparisons show the imperative necessity for subject ing Havana to the most rigot ous system of sanitation it is posible te establish with the; means at hand. The health of our troops, of the thousand® of civilians fl >ek ing to the c.ty for residence and investment, and the promotion )f commercial and agricultural enterprise in the island, much of whose eurreut will flew through its principal port, em ! phasizee the importance of cleaning, sewering and disinfect ing according t*o the advanced methods practiced in leading cities of the United States. -i rji-- Temperance advocates find deep significance in the fact that the schooner Booze was wrecked on the bar off New York harbor in the recent storm.
