much controversy! "l)e animlibus non

of infelicity and perhsps cool the ardor
of other couples criminally inclined.
Opinions vary a to the expediency of
this form of reprisal on the part of
either husband or wife. It is held by
many that the infliction of the death
penalty is unnatural, with, or without,
the sanction of the law; others hold
that the law can justify the penalty, and
does so wher.ever it employs the ex
tremity; many are disposed to grant
the offended wife or hu-band the prero
gative of using the last resort; while
still others claim that no man nor wom
an wa ever worth the sacrifice insep-l
arable from th? deatb-dciling pivgram.j
We are convinced that its ue serves
no real purpose save mch influence as
it may exert as a deterrent to others,
but lor the people already discovered
it can but accentuate the misery of all
concerned, snd often includes in this
adverse effect, the lives and interest of
many infiocent ones. It were infinitely
more to the point to make the disgrace
an open -tory and compel the delin
quents to face the ban of society and
wear it perpetually, especially where
both are adults and married. Death
compensates for nothing and leaves the
weight of its dreadful force forever
bearii.g on the soul of the man or wom
an who invokes its use. Ever-present
disgrace is the cilielcr of the two
punishments.

occasional flood and ride instead on the
stilted elevated.
And now the Chinese empire is to
ioie to the front as a great wine-producing
country; and competent people
are averring that the class of wine she
will market are really very fine. The
trouble that will confront the Chink
grower is that he can never name bis
product after the di-trict in which it is
grown and expect aw body to in.ember
the brand; and there is another elemett
that will make it difficult to foi-t the
Muff on this American market and that
is the quality of the pin they have
been making for the last 50 years. This! Success in life is accomplished by in

NEW YORK. June 2l.With small
trowel today, Major AEcClellnn will
tin it a sod of etrth among the hills of
two miles bock . of IVekskill-on-the-Hudson
river and by this act he will
begin the great undertaking which will
cost $Ui'2,lHH).iKXt and will eventually
fun.Uh (ireatcr New York with JWU,
WMi.tiOO of water daily, beside the
amount available from the Croton and
other present source of supply. From
the simple beginning the Mayor in time
will e constructed the peekskill aque
duct, 1.1(1 mile long which will connect
the Ashokan reservoir in the F.sopus
valley with every borough of. this city,
including even Staten Island. ; :
The preliminary work of surveying
for the gigantic excvatkn has reached
such, a stage that the construction of
the reservoir itself and the second or
stage reservoir can be pushed with
wed. These preliminaries; have len
taken up about two years. f large
party of city officials, iucludiny tlw
Mayor, will leave this morning for
IVekkill by steamer, Orringe will
convey them to the nite of the reservoir
and there addresses will be made by the
mayor and others. The aqueduct will!
have a channel beijiht of 17 feet. It
will wiud among hilt and aero gorges
In the heart of the region immortalized
by Washington Irving, and will pass
under several creeks. It wifl descend
more than a 1000 feet to cros (jjo
dement h the bed of the Hudson. The
line it will follow upon reaching the
Bronx at Yonkert will be under the
Cper East River, tinder' Brooklyn and
finally under the Nanrws to Suten Is
land. The maximum impounding ca
pacity of this huge receptacle will be
120.000,01X1 gallons. The engineering 1
problem involved in building the aque.
duct under the Hudson will lie the most,
dinVult the engineer will have to face.)
Estimates vary as to when the i
system will lie completed. The year
I'.l.W is gem-rally tlxed upon as the dnte,
it it probable some pail of the supply!
will be available before that. The city
authorities view this question largely
from the side of N'ew Y'ork's growth in
population, and they estimate that by
11I.10 this city will number 7,00,(XK
soul, uinjj daily one billion gallons of
water, part of which will be supplied
by the Croton system.
