The citizens of this great city are a long-suffering people to be content with such puddle drainage as goes by the name of water. Why should Washingtonians endanger their lives and insult the poor of their city by drinking and offering to their neighbors such a dis- gusting, roily liquid? It is surely unfit even for lavatory purposes, much less for drink- ing and cooking. As one stands at the brink of his bath he is reminded of that expressive Scripture, “wallowing in the mire.” Even Chicago would not tolerate uch a mud bath. t me call attention to a filtering de- ‘e in use to supply the city of Worms, Germany, with pure water from the Riv Rhine. rank H.

The Knights Templan of Washington, in common with the: members of the or- ganization throughout the Union, are look- ing forward with mush interest to the con- vening of the representatives of the order in the twenty-seventh triennial session at Pittsburg, Pa., in October. Some estimate of the grandeur with which the Knights Templar of the “smoky city” intend to en- tertain their visiting brethren may be formed when it is stated that Allegheny Commandery alone will spend $10,000 for the conclave. Headquarters will be established in the Music Hall of the Allegheny Carnegie Li- brary. aad “open house” will be kept for the benefit of all sir knights and their friends during the conclave. The general committee is made up of James H. Wil- lock, generalissimo of Allegheny Com- mandery, chairman; Capt. W. R. Heckert, eminent commander, chief marshal of the parade; Jesse K. Seabright; William FB. Kimberlin, chairman of the refreshment committee; William T. Bradbury, chair- man of the finance committee; William A. Ford, treasurer: David Morrison, chairman on hall; Jamcs Jones, chairman of park committee; David Hunter, jr., chairman decorations comrnittee; William Morrison, chairman music committee; W. H.

At the 5th avenue High School there will be myriads of electric lights tinted with all the colors of the rainbow. Hidden in folds of rich and delicate tapestry tiny elec- trical globes will emit soft lights. In halls and on stairw wherever one chooses to go in the building at night, lights will gleam from hidden recesses, miniature lakes and palm leaves. The whole will present such a fairyland scene as was never before witnessed in that city.

Bestdes the great monetary value of the goods and chattels destroyed, the losses were as great, if not greater, no doubt, in letters and papers of historic value, if their real valuation could be established. Among such that have recently come to light letter written by Gen. Robert E. Lee when a lieutenent in the United States service, dated in 1835, and as a good deal has been done recently by the government and pub- lished in the newspapers in regard to coast defenses, particularly adjacent to Spanis possessions, and liable, as it was supposed, to attack by the enemy, this letter is quite interesting. It was found among the de- bris after the Knox fire by Mr. Charles Popham Hunt, a well-known newspaper man, and given by him to Dr. Samuel E. Lewis of this city. The handwriting is perfectly plain and legible, ard, excepting parts of a few words, easily supplied, which were along the charred edges, the entire letter is in- tact, and is as follows: “ENGINEER DEPARTMENT, “Washington, D. “Capt.

E. LEE, “Lieut. and Asst. to Chief Engineer. The paper is properly indorsed, and s doubtless embodied in a report of Capt. Chase, May 5, 1835. The handwriting of Gen. Lee at that date differed in detail with that of the time when he was in command of the Army of Northern Virginia, but retaining a strik- ing similarity in gencral outlines. The letter of Gen. Lee with which this order, issued as lieutenant, was compared is itself a very interesting and most val- uable one, having been written when his army was in the utmost straits for some- thing to live upon. It fs the original letter, and is in pessession of the Confederate Veteran Association of this city, which aiso owns the original draft of Gen. Lee's farewell address to his soldiers after th eurrender at Appomattox. The letter 1 ferred to above is a characteristic one, full of pathos, announcing the plight of his men before they were surrendered. It reads as follows: “AMELIA C.
