The Philadelphia Water.
The Fhiladelphia ceuncilmen feel
aggrieved.that publicity should btf given te
the impurity of Philadelphia water by
Col.Ludlew, who is in charge of the water
supply. lie discussed .the Philadelphia
water in a lecture before the medical so
ciety, which waa" published and read with
interest;, whereupon the councilmen re
solved .that it was net advisable
in the superintendent, of their; water
works te disclose the fact that
Philadelphia sewers emptied, into the
peel in the Schuylkillfrem which thePhila
delphla water, is pumped into Philadelphia
stomachs. Cel. Ludlow went en te say
that cholera and ether contagious intesti
nal' diseases are spread by the dissemina
tion of, bacteria in drinking water, into
which obviously a most convenient method
of transmission is supplied by the discharge
of, the city sewers into the city's sources
pf water supply. It turned the Btemaclis
of councilmen te think of drinking
bacteria from cholera bowels, and" they re
solved that they did net want te hear any
mere about it.
Perhaps however, It is better te hear
about It beforehand than te enjoy the ex
perience later. Stupid as Philadelphia
councilmen are they inustrealize that with
cholera (n the city next summer it will be
dangerous te be drinking sewer water ;
and if the cholera doesnetcome.onewould
think that the thought of sewer water as
their drinking water would prompt the
councilmen te step it. But it does net. It
enlv Prompts them te .step the mouth of
the superintendent. They hide their heads
asthe ostrich, and feel that they are safe
as long as they de net see their danger or
hear about it.
If they had put their millions into water
works instead of a big city hall, they would
have had the worth of their money arid
plenty of clean water instead of a monu
mental nuisance. They de net deserve the
geed fortune which is theirs in having se
capable and honorable superintendent of
their water supply as they have secured, by
a special grace of Providence, in Cel, Lud
low; and they bad better hasten at once te
fellow blindly his recommendations and
put ten millions into bringing down the
pure water of the upier Delaware. The
scheme is plainly the only ene open toThil teThil
adelphia, since nowhere clse can abundance
of pure water be secured ; and ten millions
is asinall price te payfer it.
A BillNotTe'ue Paid.
Select Councilmen Demuth andUrban,-
who we believe mean te be faithful repre
sentatives of public interests, manifest a
misconception of their official responsibili
ties and of the obligations of the city,when
in the consideration of Je linker's big bill
Mr. Demuth evinces a readiness te make
the city pay for everything it gets, and Mr.
Urban intimates that the municipality is
bound, by all the acta of its agents.
The city is only bound te pay even.fer
value received when t is get in the, proper
and lawful way ; and te npprove and, pay
bills for work or material furnished irreg
ularly when there was no occasion for it,
would open the deer te gross abuses and
shameless fraud.
The city, as Mr. Evans correctly stated,
Is only bound by the acts of its agents when
they act within their authority and the
law, when they transgress both, they de
serve no consideration and should be. very
emphatically fiat down upon.
- rhiTrrrttterJt
pudentand inexcusable assumption of au
thority. Upen any, citizen's application
for an injunctionef , course the court would
restrain the payment of. the bill. Any city
solicitor who would recommend Its pay
ment is si humbskuil or a partner with
Iluber; any water superintendent who
would encourage such irregularities ought
te be ducked in his own muddy ressnrelr,
and any councilmarnvhe votes te pay it
should be kicked out of councils and the
society of honest men.
APTBnall the fuss, England" managed te

A recent AUTneitiTV, speaking et the
.cost of giving young men a collegiate educa
tion at Yale or. Harvard, or any of the load lead
ing American institutions of learning, declares
that .the necessary expenses, de net"oxceed
J500, but the .luxuries run the sum total te
mere than double that sum. The Tew
llaVen ralladium thus summarizes: The
tuition for one y$ar is tHO, Table beard
varies from $3.50 te $11 per weeks The aver;
age Is JC.60. Hence fer'a year of forty weeks
"beard would cost $200. Roem rent In the
cellege building Is included. In the tuition;
outslde the coliege Jt varles from ?30 te $150
per year. .Almest no ready-made .clothing is
used. The wealthy men have four or inore
suits per year, poorer inen having two or
three, These' average f&0 apiece. Dress
suits are usually purchased whlle In cellege,
aud some men get a new ene .ovary year.
New overcoats are usually get yearly. Now New Now
juarketaare worn a great deal for winter,
and no man can think hluiseir happy with
out a light coat for spring' and fall. These
garments cost from $60 te $75. Three hats a
year, $5 each, are usually required. Then
there are the expenses of furnlshing'.roems,
where' that is deemed necessary, gleves,c.inett,
subscriptions te the various athletle In
terests, cellege Journals, etc., In addition te
these Hems are te be added the cost of
theatres, tobacco, billiards, soda, bocks, ec
casienal trips te New Yerk, private cuppers,
banquets, club d,uea, germans and', parties.
Seme of them inclined te luxury keep their

unprofitable speculations, as Is commonly
supposed; and even in the days of
his 'financial failure he ploaded earn
estly that U his creditors would grant
him an extension he could pay his debts,
dollar for dollar, and save much of his estate.
He named the Kllzabeth furnace alter his

his creditors would net give him the exten

history is involved in doubt One report

Vlth us, the rocelloctlon of Mr. Thompson
Is indelibly asioclated with the last conversa
tion we .had with Mr. Lincoln. It was late In
the afternoon, just befere bis visit te the thea
tre where be was murdered. A dispatch
had arrived from the proveut marshal of
Pertlnnd. Maine,' saying that he had received
information that Jacob Thompson would ar
rive in Portland during that night, in order te
take from there the Canadian steamer which
was te sail fee Liverpool. What are the or
ders of the department?" asked the marshal.
On reading this dispatch te Mr. Stanten,
the Utter said. "Order him te be arrested
but no; you had better take It ever te the
president" We found Mr. Lincoln In the
inner room or his business oiHce at the tVhite
Heuso, witli his coat off, washing his braids
preparatory te a drive. ' Hallee," said lie,
what Is it T" Listening te the dispatch, he
asked, " What does Stanten say T" " He
thinks he ought te be arrested." Well,"
continued the presldent, pausing a moment
te rellcet, " I don't think se. If you have an
elephant en your hands and he wants te run
away, better let him run."
