Greene, on the amount and cost of street cleaning 1a Berlin, ascompared with Washington, will be of in- terest to the readers of Tag Star. It may also be of interest to the residepts of New York, in view of the present condition of the streets in that city. The report 1s as follows: ENGINEER DEPARTMENT, District or Coucusta, WASHINGTON, Apri 11, 1551.) Major W. J. Drining, Engineer Commissioner, D. lajor: I submit herewith a translation of an account of the method of cleaning the streets 1n Berlin, mace by the director of that work, and transmitted to the Commissioners through the Department cf State. ‘appears that the surface of paved streets tobe eaned in that city amounts to 7,500,000 yards, and tkat the streets are cleaned once, twice er three times per week, according to the amount of travel upon them, with the excep- tion of the main streets, amounting to 325,000 yards, which are cleaned dally. The average Gay’s work Is 2,990,000 square yards: and the sum total of a year’s work abort 900,000,000 of yards. Thisis the same system as pursued in this city, where 110,000 yards of streets are cleaned daliy, and the rest of the streets thrice per week, once per week, or once In two weeks: the average day’s work being 460,000 square yards, and the sum total of a year’s work about 125,000,000 of yards. HIRED LABORERS. In Berlin the city hires the laborers, far- nishes clothing to such as are permanently employed, and owns ail the plant except ma- chines for waterlog and sweeping; 1t gives out by contract the furnishing of these machines and horses to draw them, and all the work necessary for removing the sweepings after they have been heaped together. The sweep- ing machines are the well-known one-horse machines of the Smith pattern, which have been frequeutly tried in this city: and are con: sidered Inferior to the large four-horse sweepers now in use. THE WASHINGTON SYSTEM. In this city the whole work 1s given out by contract to the lowest responsible bidder for three years for a fixed price per each thousand yards actually swept and the sweepings re- moved. In Berlin four-fifths of the force is po at Bight In the ordinary sweeping, ant i] Peers Gee Rens is engaged during the day in spi ig the streets, keeplag the cross-walks constantly clean, the gutters free- from obstructions, etc, This latter work is not performes nor 13 1t ni in this city, An examination of the annual reporis whica accompanied Unis letter of the director, showa that tne aprnal expense of about 2,000,000 marks (#590,00v) 18 composed of the fol.owing items : Ist. Salaries and wages. wd. Clothing .......... 3d. Implements and materials 4th. Removal of sweepings ... Sih. Sprinklirg......... eth, ne ots for materials Of the reiative cost between Berlin and this city it ts oniy necessary to consider the Ist, 34, 4th and Gin items, amounting to $453.500. For this ammount of money 900,000,000 of yards Were swept, giving ah average cost of 50.94 cents per thousand yards; the present contract rate in this city fs only 23.75 cents per thousand yards, and the difference exists in our favor in spite of the fact tuat common labor in Ber- iin cost but 50 cents perday and best lapor £5 Cents, as against $1 and $1.25 in this city. ‘The difference 1s mainly due tothe fact that While Geriin has six times the population of Washington it has only three times tue surface of pavca =treets; there 13 consequently more travel on the streets, more filth to be removed, and, the city belng more compactly built, the aul in removing the sweepings 13 very much longer. Tor tnese reasons the ordinary street cleaning tn Berlin costs 13 Umes as much as in this city ($455,500 agalust $35,000), while the Population is only six times as great and the area of streets three times. After a careful examination of all the docu- ments accctupanying this report from Berlin, I do not see any Uhiug 1a their ordinary clean: ing that we could adopt with advantage in Place of our present system. WHERE THE BERLIN SYSTEM IS INSTRUCTIVE. In regard to extraordinary work, such as re- moval of snow and ice, their expertence fa very instructive. In the winter of 1879 and 1ss0 they removed S25 614 loads of snow, at a cost of $135,000 over and above the usual annual erpense. For this sum they also kept the cross-walka and clear atallifmes.

About 600 cuble metres (730 cubic yards) of sweeping are Cisposed of each day, by means of 100 two-horse wagons; the con- tractors must provide carts, laborers to load them, and designated duraping ground for the material moved at hisown expense. The street dung, when removed, can be disposed of by the contractor. It is generally sold to the farmer for a small amount; sometimes it is loaded on boats and transported to the outer suburbs of the eity and used for agriculture, REMOVAL OF SNOW. In heavy show storms, during which the re- moving of material for a rew days 1s often four to five times as great as usual, special compen- sation is mace to the contractors by the city. SPRINKLING. In order to reduce the dust on the streets to some extent during the summer they are sprin- kled several times a day by means of water- wagons. The maintenance and draught of the sprinkling wagons, of which there are at pres- ent about 120 In use, are also intrusted to eon- tractors, who are required to Hep these wagons at _work at least ten hours a day. The last sprinkling of the day 1s performed during the evening in order to keep the pavements damp for night werk. This is followed by sprinkling the pavements with a watering-pot immediately before LGes ‘THE DIRECTOR OF STREET CLEANING. BERLIN, December, 1850. China-Painting in Cincinnati. It 1s curious to see the wide range of age aud conditions of life em- braced in the ranks of the decorators of pottery: young girls twelve to fifteen years ofage find a few hours a week from their School engagements to devote to over or under glaze work, or the modelling of clay; and from this up, Con all the less certain ages, tll the grandmother stands confessed in cap and spectacles, no time of iife is exempt from the Tasclnating coutagion. Women who need to add to thelr income, and the representatives of the largest fortunes, are among the most in- dustrious workers; and it !s pleasant to know that numbers of these self-taught women re- ceive a handsome sum ‘annually from orders for} Work, from sales, and trom lessong to pu- Pi AS @ purely social and domestic enter- | tainment, much fs to be sald in its favor as an | educating and refining influence. Taking the broader view, we are led to the conclusion, from tke signs everywhere pervading the country, that the times are ripe for the intro- duction of a new industry in the United States, in which the feeble instrumentality of women’s hands is quietly doing the initial work. Any appreciative or correct estimate of the work done by the women of Cincinnati must be based on the fact that, itke amateurs elsewhere In this country, they have had no in- struction in the art of decorating pottery, for the reason that there was no practical teaching tobe had. With the single exception of Mr. Lycette, who taught a few months bere, we bave badno help from spy _pracitcaily and ar- Ustically educated decorator. Tae realm of underglaze painting was an unknown land, se Of color onthe *viseuit” an expert: ment, and success only to be achieved after Tepeated fatlure: An eflort was made in the fail of 1373 to se- cure the fostructioa of Johu Bennett, of New York, fora class tn Cincinnati 11 undergiawze painting; but Mr. Bennett replied that he had M at consideravle expense to bring his family from Lambeth and to establish himself in New York, and that forthe present the se- erets of his processes must ba conilned to his } own studio. He was willing to fnsiruct in his fine, broad, free-hend siyle, overglaze, but not in underglaze work. Looking back through six or seven years to the beginning, as it may be called,of the movement in china-painting, or the decoration of pottery, in the United States, wecan not fall to be struck with its significance, taken in connection with the steady growth In the pot- tery trade, and the improvement tn American Wwares,—Mrs. duron F. Perry, tu Harper's Magazine, In Worth’s Workshop. [Paris Letter to The Draper's Journal } I may be mistaken, but I have always under- Stood that Mr. Worth commenced life a3 a cut- terout in Messrs. Shooibred’s establishment. That he has now to a certain extent retired from. active parttcipatton in the business in faver of bts son 13 a well-known fact. Though of course the tates told of this autocrat of fash- fon have oiten been foolishly exaggerated, still there was some truth at the bottom. Instead of, as 1s usually the case, being the slave of hig customers’ whims and fancies, he, from the very beginning, turned the tabies upoa them and dictated to them. To many women this Was ah uncomfortable state of things, and they preferred going elsewhere; but enough always remained, and these, fluding they gained by submission, were only too giad to wear the chain for the sake ef the result. I never saw Mr. Worth in a Gressiog-gown, but I have bean assured he has at times appeared thus accou- ted before his “‘cilents,” aud the latter often deigned to partake of a cup of afternoon tea while discussing, or, perhaps, it would be more correct to say, listening to, the suggestions of the oracle. ‘The following scene, which took place in the Tooms over which Mr. Worth, fr., presides, wa detatied tome a short timesince by a young Russian lady. The Cotiet in course of prepara— Uon had presented more than usual alficuity; it had been tried on once, twice, unsuccess- fully.

(Special Oorrespondense of The Evening Star.| Pants, April 5. Saint Simon has depicted the hypothesis of a disaster, which might, by a fire, deprive France of the King, the rest of the royal family, and the Parliament. The tragedy at Nice, had It occurred one hour later, aware as we now are of those who purchased the highest seats ia the yhagogue, would certainly have deprived the artistic and literary worlds of several of their chief celebrities, Indeed a few leading pollti- cians and diplomatists ran the same danger, but for these, in the professional point of view, public sympathy is les3 keen in its hypothetical sympathy. Victorlen Sardou was among tho narrowly escaped, and concludes a3 the moral of the incendiary, that after much, talkee talkee, precautions against fire will remain what they are—platonic, where not suflicient. It is tn full joy, smiles on lips, that the un- | fortunates at the Nice Opera House—with its gallery man-trap opening on the Meiiter- ranean, were surprised by the conflagration. They came to sigh over the Imaginary woe3 of Edgardo and Lucila, but tragedy made an to- road, and changed the spectatora {nto victims.

It is proposed to change the fire —— and its military organization Into a simple police force; to lay in water-pipes: throughout the buildings, having at certata landings taps in a soft metal that would melt at a very low temperature and thus induce im- Inedlate inundation.

POLITICAL REFUGEES, In raising the question of the right of asylum | for political refugees, France sees in that only @ manceuyre on the part of Prince Bismarck to curry friendship with the new Czar. There can be only tree trade in the surrendering of criminals for violations of common law; but opinions must be free, even when erroneous, ‘tue better to secure liberty for those which arte true. It is the old question of the shield and its two faces; or of the mountain, on one sideerror, on the other truth. The Esquimo pee train oll to champagne; the Righis of Man, which form the credo of every Frenchman—iess tne followers of divine right—are not viewed quite as the ’krict card at St. Petersburg; English constitutionalism is not in the odor of sanctity at Berlin; @ governmental Italian ts ylewed Uke an American citizen, a3 an intransiieant at Vienna. Holy Alliances to crush lberalism do not come ‘within the sphere of pro- gress of Civilization. There can be no soli darite between governments against-evil, if there be not fraternity between them for good. To ayold popular explosions, Wise governments provide the safety-valves of liberty. Russian refugees are to be found in Swiizerland, Eogiand, America and France, but these co.ntries never contribute refugees to Russia. The ‘Taird Section of Police” regards ltberais as simply uibiifsts; yet that body has in Its pay the affiliated of all conspiracies; and still 1 was unable to prevent bombs from being filled, placards printed, and money banked, 1a the Winter Palace! Further, when the imperial family or the nobility had the monopoly of making away with the Czars, the police proved also ineffectual As a rule, Babbies are moat able in the discovery of crime when the aps cated confess all about it. When Alexander II. Shall have punished the slayers of his tather, with the pitiless severity of which the Slavs have the monopoly, he ought to study the words of Cavour: “Timely reforms render the revolu- tlonary spirit powerless.” Outside Itberty—as | Ciaims the church—there is no safety. WHAT THE MASSES THINK, These views are practically illustrated In the evolution dally taking place among the masses in France. The more the people are left to | themselves the less the government organizes irritations, the more the country becomes great, siorious and free. Louis Blanc, the aposile of etbereal heirs as become simply a curi- osity; the socialists have emigrated to Ger- | q@any; the communists are reeds shakea wlin | the wind.

Tne latter, repudiaied by the nthilists, spurned by the com- mubist, avoided by ail that’s respectable, and finding his Billlngsgate only benelts Gambetta, bas to mourn the decay of his newspaper. ‘Tae struggle between the biue-blood royalists and His Holiness, widens and deepens; Comte de Chambord insists that the theme must bo Seated on the altar; that religion ts the proper- ty exclusively of king-craft. Enlightened by living events, the Vatican has declared that the church is not at the service of any political party. GAMBBTTA'S PROGRESS. Bolieau addressed a sonnet to the eye-brow, or bag wig of Louis X1V., wherein the flatterer wrote: “Sire, cease to conquer, or cease to write.” This was, of course, before the Sun- king left his kingdom in the last stages of ma- terial and moral misery. Had the republic a poet-laureat, he might grind a few lines implor- ing Gambetta to cease fo conquer. That emi- Dent patriot is rapidly pening not daly into the first statesman of France, but of Europe; tor bis recent banquet addresses have a gene- Tal application. He claims to represent the good sense of France, and pours out the vials of bis wrath on utopists and wind-bags; he advocates only practical po'itics, and programs that can be worked out by time and estimated by results. This he calls opportunism, and de- mands, what public man would undertake, a policy in oppertunism. Gambetta has at last gov rid of his tall—the intransigeants, Those who intend following him must stand up for a republic, legal, well-ordered, wise, exempt from agitations and jerks; respectful of legitimate interests, tolerant towards minorities, protect- ors of social peace at home, and of the good reputation of France abroad. So say we ali of ug, AN EX-MINISTER’S CASE. Gen, de Cissey has been declared innocent of the charge of treason and peculation, unanl- | mously, by the parliamentary committee of inquiry. The case points a moral and adorns a tale. The bachelor ex-minister of war was blamed not for having a mistress, but for se- lecting one of the political adventuress class; he executed his mea cuipa, and atoned to in- aigpant pubiic opinion by resigning his com- mund of an army corps. Rochefort and Dep- uty Loissant, without ever examining, had they proofs, accused de Cissey of being a tral- tor, &c.; they were condemned tn a civil action to ‘pay respectable—for a French tribunal— damages and Costs. This second condemnation is Of a moral nature; for Rochefort, he can | claim, those that are down need fear bo fall. But it has been annihitation for Loissant, who was & poiltician full of promise, and an elegant and ripe scholar, though hardly 36 years of age; the events have thrown him into acon- sumption, and he is now dying at Algiers, FRANCE AND THE GREEKS, France having “withdrawn her pin from the play,” follows the Greek question with a list- less, platonic interest. The Greeks mean fight— but would like at thesame time to be kept back. Thanks to their fellow countrymen occupying such influential positions at Stamboul and Pera, the Porte has no secrets for Athens.

VICKSBURG’S GR WITH FIFTY GAMBL A Story of 1835 by an Eye BLESS. {Jonathan H. Green, in the Philadelphia Times. } tis because I was in Vicksburg when the event which I am about to describe occurred that Iam able to give the exact facts of what Was the most exciting epoch 1a the history of that city up to the war. This occurrence, I believe, has never been described—at least I have never eeen it—and it furnishes perhaps better than anything else an idea of the state of society as it existed at that period in the wild southwest. On the Fourth of July, 1935, there was a grand celebration in honor of tne nationai holiday. The town was early decor- ated, bands were on the streets, and there were evidences on every hand that the day was one of general rejoicing. A barbecue—a favorite feature of the Fourth of July celebrations in the south—was the event of the day, and to this everybody was lavited. For the time the utmost good feeling reigned. Even the ven- geanle sworn against the gamblers was forgot- fen, or, if not forgotten, at least suspended. Eminent speakers had been invited from other States, and among those there on that day were Alexander McClung, of Kentucky, with Foote aud Prentiss and others equally well known in that day, if not so well remembered in this. One table had been reserved for invited guests and the other eminent persons present, and at this were seated some thirty-five or forty men. in such a mixed assemblage as the barbecue attracted there were not unnaturally a large number of gamblers—professional gamblers— of whom there were not less than 250 In the city at the time, These gamblers had their headquarters in a colony of their own, or rather fn three houses, known a3 the “Kangaroos,” Nos. 1, 2 and 3.” With them were associated the most abandoned wretches of both sexes to be found In the whole southwest. Some of the notorious among these gamblers were known in every state along the Mississippi, among them being George Blackburn, Frank Cabier, Bill Eskin, Alexander McCoy, Jim Hood and Tom Carr. The military had turned our a:d were under arms as part of the attr: i vbeday. While the speech-imaking was on, the gambler Blackburn, who was present in company with Cabdler, bis partner, both ing seated at a table ey trom the began an interruption, that he was going to hay cleaned out the whole table. ed to Blackbura to sit dowa disturbance.

Blackburn retuwd and defied them. Presenting their guns, the Soldiers jammed them against Blackburn and ushed him off the table. He struggled flerceiy, ut was finally overpowered and cutin the struggle. Cabler, who attempted to assist him, was also mastered. Both men, bleeding but still deflant, were then bound, a canoe was Got, and they were placed in it and pushed from the shore. In Another moment they were floating down the Mississippi, being rescued by their fellows some half-mile below. Tae gamblers were furious, and threatened re- vepge, Making no secret of the threat that they would burn the town down during the night. The barbecue broke up. It was known, everybody felt, that the gamblers Meant business, and thatthe lives and prop- erty of all respectable peopie were In the most imminent danger when night came. Nobody thought of anything but safety, avd the wild- est excitement prevalled, Citizens everywhere were seen bei themselves to await the Struggle that all felt was at hand. In the midst of ail the commotion, however, there were some people who did not lose their heads. One of these was Dr. William Bodley, of Ken- tucky. He quietly selected a number of men, formed them into a vigilance committee and Placed himself at their head. This done, the Vigilance committee assumed the offensive and £ent word to the gambiers that they only had five hours to leave Vicksburg or ———! Many of them did so. But in the meantime five es were not idle. They were North. elms, Dutch Bill Haines, John A, Murrell and another man whose name I have forgotten. ‘These men had gathered at North’s gambling Tooms, near the river. Here they barricaded themselvez, and at the command to leave, swore that they would not move and would kill any man who interfered with them.

Onghe other side trees were selected, and in less than an hour after the murder’ of Dr. Bodley the five gamblers were swinging by the necks, dead.

The clergyman and Organist both need time to get themscives tn order; a=d the florist, whe is to decorate the altar with fresh cut Mowers and wing plants, also needs time; he also should ave plenty of warning.

The bride and groom return to the house of the former, followed as quickly as possible by the bricemalds, and stand to receive their friends under a tioral bell, ora floral arch, or some Cther pretty device. The bridemaids are ranged on elther side, and the ushers (whose pace is no slpecure) bring up the guests in or- cer to present the happy pair. The bride's mother, vacating the place of hostess for the bonce, stands at the other end of the room to talk to her friends, and to also receive their congratulations. Of course her own family are allowed to kiss the bride first. The bride remains at her post an hour anda half, then leaves the room to ascend and dress for her bridal tour. She comes down in the quiet dress fitted for traveling ia this country (where the bright blue velvets and shiny silks which are used in England for bridal trips are not allowed, probably owing to the fact that cur railway trains are more public and less Clean than those of the British isle), and bids her friends good-by. Gev the car- riage, followed by the m, the young pair are driven off under a shower of rice and silp- pers, which are thrown after them for luck. The wecding presents, which in the houses of rich and popular brides are wondrous fine ard costly, are frequently shown.
