'Brown, who has Jnst'returned from Savannah, we gather some interesting details con corning the system of water supply in that city. Mr. Brown visited Savan nah for the purpose of obtaining this information for the benefit of those of our enterprising citizens who pro r pose the construction, of water works - in, Wilmington, and he makes a most f adorable report, -r Lir. , ; ; The works in Savannah boat t225, 000, the Worthington engine or steam pump coating $35,000 of itself. There are twenty-five miles of mains and pipes, supplying every portion of the city with en abundanoe of water. .The iron tank or reservoir is placed at an elevation of 50 feet above the source of wator-suDDlv. measurinff from bot- torn of tank: but the tank is 37 feet i ' i-. T.,n a1. deep, thus givmg, when full, an elc- van.of18(7,ftrSufficientt t0 Cariy. watcr iiato the upper j stories of the highest buildings in the city. The capacity of the tank is only 180,000 ahW-lmt thft tam numn has a forcing power of 45,000. gallons per hour, which dispels at once all appre hension of even a temporary failure of supply. The Savannah water works are owned by the city; their gross in come for water furnished private par ties is $27,000, while that fur nished the city, , including . a free supply to all churches, schools and other charitable, benevolent and edu- cational institutions, is estimated to be worth at least $20,000. Adding these two sums, we have $47,000 as the estimated gross income; or, over 20 per cent, on $225,000,' the amount invested. . T0v;n .w. djsttfw a o liool- lawng -tne apoe aua as a. oasis, we are enabled to form a tolerably correct opinion of the cost of water works for Wilmington. 'In the firet place, the "WorthiDgton steam pump which cost the city of Savannah, in 1854, $35,000, is now sold for $10,000; then, instead of twenty-five miles of mains and pipes, we would not, for some time, at least, need more than ten miles in Wilmington. Again, the topography of Savannah is such that the steam pump has to draw the water 3500 feet, from the river, and then , force it 3500 feet more to the reservoir; thus necessitating the use of j a sixteen-inch main about a mile and one-third in length, which is very ex pensive. There are many other, and very great, advantages possessed by Wil mington, as the engineer of the Sa vannah works admitted to Mr. Brown, and the latter gentleman is satisfied that water works for Wilmington, constructed on tho Savannah plan, and ample for our purposes, will not cost more than $90,000. We should have stated before that the operating expenses of the Savan nah woTks, including material used, salaries of officers, &c, amount to from $12,000 to $15,000, never hav ing exceeded the latter sum.

A Western swain, deeply enamored, wrote many sweet, pathetic and highly im aginative effusions to the "duck of his heart" and then turned around and mar- ried another damsel.

Then, again, "My dearest Nelly, give me yonr lovely lips, and your darling heart as a great assurance of your love, my precious angel. Then comes: 4I can't write more, because I have to serve other members of the soci ety," meaning as the counsel explained, the shop. This sentence is the most pathetic of the correspondence. Fancy the torture which this poor youth must have felt when called away from his "angels," and his "pillows of peace," and his "pleasures of imagination," to sell half a pound of chico- rv on A nnftaa tVirppnonnv-wnrtll of fis!

Criticism even by administration pa- ion is that Ames and Brooks are made scapegoats for the sins of Colfax, Garfield, Kelley, Dawes and the others. This report has demonstrated that, investigation of charges by the Republican party means nothing, bnt that it is a sham and a fraud. The drinking vice in England among the lower classes in represented to be great, and it is feared that the moderation which now .controls the use of liquors among the upper classes of society will not last.
