CITY DRAINAGE.
New Sewers Through Ferry and Cen
ter Streets Demnmded.
The fact was developed yesterday,
when our reporter interviewed the
property holders concerning their
views on macadamizing tho streets,
that another and possibly a greater
want existed in tho absence of
proper sowers.

Above wo give a diagram of our
only sewer, running from the
asylum and penitentiary through
Court street to the river. The sewer
is but 15 inches diameter, and serves
tho state buildings named, also tho
stato house and is expected to be
used by tho four tiers of blocks lying
between Ferry and Center streets.
The dotted line3 represent tho main
sewer and laterals through Court
street and tho alley ways.
It will be seen that north of Court
there are three laterals running
through tho allies from Center to
Court, lying between Front and
Commercial, Commercial and Lib
erty and Liberty and High. South
of Court street there is but one
lateral, from State to Court through
alley between Front nnd Commer
cial. Another lateral Is needed
north of Court, between Church and
Cottage streets, to abate tho horrid
nuisance discussed elsewhere.
There should be added to this a
sewer through tho greater part of
Ferry street, and also through a
portion of Center street to bp ex
tended east as occasion demands.
By means of laterals running a
block north and south none would
be overtaxed, and six tiers of blocks
would bo accommodated, lying be
tween Trade and Marion streets.
There is great complaint of tho
numerous cesspools in tho central
part of the city. The general health
demands these sewers, as well a i
public economy and convenience.

"James, dear, will you bring mo
up a hod of coal from tho cellar?"
Bald a busy wife.
"That's just tho way with you,"
said James, with a black frown, as
ho put down his book and rose up
from tho lounge.
"Just tho way with mo?"
"Yes," ho snapped. "As soon as
you seo mo enjoying myself, you
have some chore or another for mo
to do. Didn't you seo I was absorbed
iu my reading?"
"Well, dear, I will do it myself."
"Yes, and tell everybody, your
mother especially, that you havo to
carry your own coal up from the
cellar. No, I'll do it. Let mo mark
my place."
So ho marked tho nlaco in tho
book at which ho had ceased read
ing, and when ho went down to tho
cellar, grumbling all tho way, sho
picked up tho volunio and found it
was a love story, and that tho pas
sago ho had been absorbed in was as
follews: "My darling, when you aro
my wife I will shield ami protect
you from every care, tho winds of
heaven shall not visit your face too
roughly, those pretty hands shall
never bo soiled by mcninl tasks,
your wish snail bo my law, your
happiness ."
Just then ho re-appeared, and
dumping the hod on the floor, said:
"There's your darned coal. Givo
mo my book."
