Editor Star:—Your article calling attention the importance of more thorough Cleaning of Strcets and alleys is timely and to the point. One souree of the vile smells alluded to Is the censtmuction of hydrants, (in place of the old- time pumps), without providing for sewer con- bection, in order to draw off the waste water. A month ago I called the attention of the health officer to a pool of Stagnant water, re- sulting from thts cause, on Massachusetts ave- hue, between 2d and 3d_ streets. Promptly the bext day an official of sald office called, in- Spected the nuisance complained of, coincided With mé that it should be abated, and promised to report accordingly, at the same ume noting the location of a sewer not twenty yards trom the spot.

Count Schouvatoff, his cousin, was the winner, ud his wonderful run of Iuek has been the eme Of gossip and congratulation all over Europe, But it now appears that Count Louis Melikef! has thought proper to lay a statement of the affair before the Czar, and that the mon- arch thereupon sent for’ the lucky Count Scbouvaiofl and ordered him to return to Prince Demidof seven-eighths of the sum thus won from him.

SUMMER ResoxT Eriquerrs.—Andrew’s Q iren says tt 13 quite proper at a summer rezort to speak without an iniroduction to those whom you meet every day. Gentlemen should always arise their hats to their fellow-boarders, and the acquaintance of ladies on a hotel plazza can hurt no one. The day the party leaves the hotel, that cay the acquaintance can cease if the people so choose. A young man must be caretul not to be pushing, and must of course be introduced to a party of ladies, or one young y, before he could offer her any civilities or ask her to dance; but for the elderly aud the married ladies there need be no stiffness, Half of the pleasure of a watering-place Is the {n- formal chat, the picking up of a new acquatat- ance, the insight Into a T life. CERTAIN Durch NATURALISTS are testing the ability of the domestic cat to act as postin in. Seleciing Luik for their headquarters, tney thence dispatch a number of cats, securely ted up tn woollen begs, to the neighboring vil- lages, where Uney are freed from continement and let loose, with neat packets of letters firm'y strapped to their backs. At once their domestic instinets come into full play, and they swittly flee homewards with unswerving directness. Of thirty-seven cats thus constrained to serve thelr country not one has hitherto failed to poe its postal function with excellent puscts- ity. TEN YEARS AGO the Presbyterian church ot Belietonte, Va., felt a desire tor a_ new house of worship. The old one, which had been in use for tnirty or forty years. waa a Werle aur or Sivla ania nar ts = _.. a aveping with the 1deas of 3 of the more progressive people. So they pully the old building down and erected an ele, brownstone one in its place. The move met With some opposition from a few elderly members, Who thought the old church good enough to last for another generation. Their Opposition was overruled, aud the new church Was In due time dedicated. The materia! chosen for 1t was brownstone from a newly opened quarry in a mountain near Bellefonte. This stone was thought to be good, but had not been tested. After awhile evidences of disintegra- tion were observed. The stone was found to be slowly crumbling to Pieces ‘This has now gone on to such an extent that the building ts pro- nounced unsafe, and will have to be.taken down.

To give an idea of the aristocratic | Peed of some of these bodies, it may be mentioned that the Prince of Wales ts not only & fishmonger, but he ts also a haberdasher. ; Among the fishmongers the heir to the throne counts in the list of his distingutshed associates the Dukes of Edinburgh, Connangit and Cam- bridge, Lord Sherbrooke and Mr. Gladstone.

The great complaint against the companies ts that they have ceased to exercise any powers conferred upon then by their charters, which wer obtained irom the earliest monarchs of England in con- Sideration of the payment of large sums of money. The income of the companies is enormeus, So closely are their secrets guarded, however, that it is dificuit to form an estimate on the subject. Probably the fortheoming in- vestigation will throw some light on the jues- tion. It ts certalu, however, that for poor rate purposes their rea! estate tn London {s assessed at vetween two and three millions of dollars, Which bring its real value up to some. thing like four millions of dollars.
