The Kcw Water Main.
Councils sjieuld take great deliberation
before they finally resolve te lay tlie new
water main out Orange street, beyond
Prince, instead of taking it tip Prince te
Walnut and out Walnut. We believe
that the latter route had been agreed upon,
and no satisfactory reason has been given
for the change back te Orange. Tlie rea
son privately bruited is that it was done te
secure for the electric light contract the
needed vote of a member who for himself
and bis constituents wanted the main laid
the whole length en "West Orange street.
If this scandalous story vera true, which
we can hardly credit, it furnishes all the
mere reason why the bargain should be
repudiated by councils ; and if it is net
truc,seme sufficient reason should be given
or the change te the original route be
ordered at once.
It is apparently net true that even the
citizens and property-owners waut the
Orange street course taken ; for the peti.
tlen sent te councils in favor of the "Wal
nut street route bears the names of many
representative people, with large interest
in the matter. The Franklins, Bausmans,
Martins, Marshalls, Shirk & Peters, Messrs.
Eberly.TCready, Uresius, Helahan, Becli Becli
teld, Beyer, Apple, Lorentz, Fulton, and
many ethers who make these representa
tions are gentlemen who have no doubt
given full consideration te the subject and
are in a position te knew what is best for
their end of the city, te be reached and
supplied by this main.
But their arguments aie of mere weight
en this question than their names. They
present the Important considerations that
it will be very difficult and dangerous te
carry the main under the big Water street
sewer and Beading railroad cressiug ; and
also the sewer at Charlette Btreet; that
West Orange street is macadamized, and it
will be much mere of a job te tear it
up and relay it thau te dig up West Wal
nut ; that the tearing up and replacing of
the btreet railway will add te the trouble
and expense of the job; that a great
deal mere lock excavations will be
necessary en Orange than Walnut,
delaying the work and increasing
the expense of it ; that the mere northern
part of this section of the city is building
up most rapidly; and finally, most import
nut of all, the main en the Walnut street
route will reach a point thirty ftet higher
than en the ether line. These seem te be
weighty considerations and certainly ought
te prevail with councils, unless balanced
by something mere serious than a council
man's whim or the payment for his vote en
the electric light issue.
i
Taxing Telegraph Pele.
In the case of the city of Chester's levy
of a tax of $1 license fee per year en each
telegraph pole within the city limits, Judge
Clayten decided, as had been previously
uecweei in I'nuaaeJpiila, that the telegraph
companies had no power te obstruct the
streets of the city free from police regula
tion; that the imposition of a reasonable
license fee upon the poles maintained in
the streets by telegraph companies was net
only a legitimate but an eminently preier
exercise of municipal powers; that while
Buch a license fee should net be se high as
te amount te a prohibition of the business,
it should be determined by what might 1m
the value of the police service rendered by
the city te the companies ; and the reason
ableness of the fee is a matter te be deter
mined by the courts.
There seems te be justice and reason iu
this line of decisions. Year by year the
telegraph poles have encroached upon the
streets of eurcities.and the lines of wiie are
great obstructions, injuring leal estate,
taxing the police powers of the munici
pality and endangering life and property.
While the telegraph is a convenience, like
many ether kinds of business, it is operated
for private profit, and when the construc
tion of its line interferes with public com
fort and obstructs the publlchighways In n
manner that no private citizen is allowed
te, its privileges should net only be regu
lated by law, but taxed for the protection
they enjoy and the trouble and discomfort
they cause.

Black Pets and Dirty Kettles.
The editors of the New Ybik leading
newspapers, who have been dwelling in
the harmony of monkey nud parrot life of
late yeare,are having a little time new ever
the revelations of the congressional com
mittee that the Times was paid 81,200 for
printing an article sustaining the Bell
telephene company and defending that
monopoly from the assaults npeu it. As
tboaVmebu all along been manifesting
great host lily te this corporation and
broadly insinuatng that the Tribune and
bun were subsidized In its Interest, it must
have been a llttle annoying te it aud
rather gratifying te their malicious pre
pensltiea that the only revelation of money
paid the uewspapers, thus far, lias impli
cated the Times.
There is no Just reason for putting any
ether construction upon this matter than
that which the Times furnishes, and which
all the circunistauces of the case go te
prove, that the article iu question was
ivlnted and paid for as an advertisement ;
' aad it was quite as plainly such as most of
jtaid reading natter Iu newspapers. It did

A TALE OF T1IK WAK.
from tlie Washington Herald.
Tn enty-feur years age, just at this time In
the spring, the city el New Orleans was oc
cupied by the Union Ien-en uuder Maj. Oen.
Duller. In 0110 of the New Kngland regi
ments that made a part et his command was
ayoungelllccr, who had hurried home from
a Kureean tour te take a commission In the
new ly.raised volunteers, llehadhad nearly
three years at West Point, but about the time
he was te bocemo a first classman, that
soeurgo of New Kngland, consumption,
threatened his life. His physicians told his
mother that nothing tint a sojourn In the
mild climate of Southern Kurope would de
stroy the dangerous germs. As lie w .is heir
te a comfortable fortune, there was nothing
te hinder, and n year of Italian suushlue
made him almost well. Then breke upon
thoceuntry the storm of civil war. Te blm,
as te many ethers, the far Seuth was reve
lation. Nature was iu her fairest, kiudest
mood. The budding leaves 011 curious un
known trees wcretlny iu their young lender
green. There wero strange tlaine-like
llowers, and the yard long fronds of the
bAiiaua, aud the dark-green palmetto alt
told hew far away they were from the
cold easterly winds or thelr New lhigtaud
home.
As our young lieutenant wandored about
thenld foreigu-leokiugcltv the spirit of the
sneet Seuth thrilled "him. Along the
country-looking reads were houses that
might havu been lu Orleans or llleis, sur
rounded by hedges of Cherokee rose, se
thickly standing that a bird could scarcely
pass through, with glcwsy leaves of dark
green and long sutet'buds, like was:
iu whiteness, s oiling into fragrant
summer bloom. One selt allernoen,
when the rnys of the westward sluklug sun
wero aslant, tilling the narrow streets
with gleams et molten geld, and tlie orange
trees were showering their vvhite flowers en
the ground as the limbs were geutlv shaken
by the gentle south wind, he went" iute the
old cathedral of bt. Leuis. The spirit el the
place was en him. It was theLeuteu season,
aud its the black-robed women knelt lu silent
prayer w Idle the great organ notes filled the
lefty vault he thought hew often the old stoue
lloer had echoed In ancient days te the steps
or French caviller or Spanish grandees aud
as he read en the walls In ipiaiut-eld time
words of Almeuaster, the governor who died
a hundred years age, he thought hew far
away irem old Castile or beautiful France
the cavaliers had ceme for glerv j hew brave
hearts, lull of hopes nud fears, had beat nor-
haps where he then steed, and lived aud
loved aud passed awav Inte nothingness
wheu Leuis, the Well Hele vest, was klug.
Ah, as one stands where mall-clad knights
have steed, hew vividly the dead past comes
back, and theeld cathedral Is tilled again with
dainty dames iu klrtle hoop ami turbelew,
aud stately gentlemen, whoe het, beating
hearts have been dust for one hundred aud
hftyye-ars.
As his eyes btvame accustomed te the light
he noticed among tlie dark-draped forms a
girl et marvelous foreign beauty. Her face
waslike that or the Malar Delorose and as
u stray sunbeam shot through tlie witidew
and lighted up her hair Its brightness was as
the brightness or the angels or fled. She
was lussilent as stone; her lips euly moved,
nndherlace was aglow with mystic light
He felt n strange, weird seusatieii pulsate
through his veins, and us the scent or the
holy incense filled the deep reefed church he
thought of the days when holy virgins alter
such scenes as tills went forth te die for their
laith In the Crucified Sen. At length It w as
ever. He saw the girl, with deep, dark eyes,
nod acomplexien like old Ivery, ga'her up
" luumuiiuicinuHniciiurtu. no noticed
that her attendant was an old gray mulatto
woman, and as they went out Inte the oveu eveu
Ing alrshospeko te the girl with a curious
selt toue and iu a language lie had never
heard. Somehow, without intending it he
follevved.thcm. A tew squares awav they
walked and entered through a galo'iute a
cottage in the ceutre of a garden that was
sweet with the fragrance of the yellow jessa
mine, olive, orange, citron, shaddock, and
jemegrauate tlewers; shut out Irem the
world by a high, Impassable wall. There
was ever the house au air or age, and Its red
tiled 1001 recalled the old towns of Southern
France.
Frem that hour he seemed bewitched. He
lived iu dreamland. His brother eillrers
could net comprehend the charge. Wher
ever he went he was haunted 113- the memory
of deep, dark girlish eyes and a face like our
Lady of Sorrens. Day alter day he went te
the church and saw the tame scene. Fi
nally lortune favored him. One .ifiernnen.
as the fading beams et Uie day-god were
gilding the branches et tlie grav old trees In
the Cathredalsijuare, the girl and ben'ticnnrt
started home, some sailors from a man-et-war
in the rlver were 011 the haniuettr, and
they had been looking en the rum when it
was red. Boisterous and noisy, they were
directly in the girl's way. She drewher
veil down and quickly tried te pass them.
One who was swarthy aud low in stature,
w itli eyes ablaze Irem the infernal draughts
of fiery rum. either nurriev,lv nr l.v
accident staggered agaiust the girl nud
ought her 111 his arms. She screamed
aud fell iu a dead faint. The elllcer was half
a squarn away. Hew he get there he nover
knew. With a giant's strength he struck the
staggering man a blew that would have
delighted the sullen soul of the English prize
fighter whose pupa he had been. Seeing It
was an il!lcer, tlie rest et the men saluted,
and after sajing 110 harm was meant respect
fully went away, taking their cemrade with
them with a broken jaw. The elderly
woman was In a frenzy. Jn bieken English
aud mere fluent French ;u(eu she besought
the saints. "She has only lainted," said the
nentenant ; "I will carry her home." After
a tewstepslhegiri sighed and erened her eyes.
She turned bleed-red when she saw whero
she was and begged te be put down. He did
se, but holding en te Ins arm she tiemblngly
took her way te the old gate, and the gray
walls shut him out as Adam was shut out
from the lest Eden. Alter that he could
never tee her. He took courage aud went te
the gate wliere he had lelt her and rang tlie
bell. 'Jho old luulatresscauie, and, standing
hi his way se that he could net ceme in, told
him iu her broken English, that the young
mistress was quite well and wished her te
thank the young soldier ter her, aud that
was all.
Finally in desperation, lie wrote the young
girl a letter. He did net even knew her
name, but addrecsrd it te the young lady
w horn he had helped. He saltl he loved her
and vvlhed her te become his wlfe! " He was
simply insane," you w ill say. Probably, but
