Water Yoris Foolish Haste. About one yoir ago; the? Journal callol particular attention to the peculiar jIan "of upplying cities with water for domestic, manufacturing , and Cro purposed, known as tho Holly system. Sinco then its readers Lave bean furnished with such facts both favorable and advero to tho system a would enable them to form correct conclusions as to its merits and de merits. A largo majjrity of thcin, no doubt, arc fully convinced that the IIol ly eystsm has so far demonstrated its efficiency and reliability, whero it h 13 been "airly tested, as to render it entirely safe for cities of tho sue of Evanavillo, or evea double its pop ulatioa, to invest largely in it as a publio improvement. Oa this poia tnero seems to do utile umjrcnce o opiaion. The only . question, then for consideration now is, how can tLo Iloily utaehinory ' bo supplied with pure water, and at what cost? Tbi3 question ought to be considered, and, - approximately at Ieastv-tfetlleJ. before tho peoplo authcriz'3 the City Counoil ) to commenea, blindly, an improvement of whose cost they havo no conception. Those who attended the Water Works mooting at tho Court House, on 1'riday evening, and heard tho Breech of Mr. Flagler, President of the Holly Company, must have observed that one of tho great auvan- " tajjes claimed by him for . his, system, over the old reservoir plan," was the purity of the water supplied. ; Ycr, . when, approached direotly on tho practical point of how this supply of 'i puro water was to bo obtajned in our city, and the cost of obtaining it, he stated most 'emphatically that tha point was of, bo uncertain and doubtful a character, that his Company 'would not as3umo tho responsibility t of doteriainiog it.. In other words, " the city would have to assunio all tho i responsibility of what might turn out a disastrous failure' If the city is """ successful in'obtaining wctls of pure water, the Holly Company will, take pleasure in attaching its maohinery, at good prices, and claim tho credit of supplying tho city with a splendid quality ot water. To tho credit of Mr. Flagler . and his Company, however, ho insisted that the city ocaux not to vndeiiTAICS THE WORK UNTIL SHE HAD ASCERTAINED THE COST. This advico contains so nwieh good common sense that the Council can not, . .with any propriety, disregard it. ' '. An election has been ordered on Thursday next " to ascertain the sense of tho citizens of Evaosville upon the question oTconstruoting Water Works on the plan proposed by tho report submitted " to ' tho Common Council, at tho session held On the evening of May 2." In tho report f the committoo alluded to, and upon - which the election is ordored, tho cominittco says: "We have before us, a "detailed statement of tho probable cost of eaid works, eubmitted by William C. Weir, agent for the. 'Ilolly Manufacturing Company,' under date of March l ith, 1870, who esti- , mates the cost to crcet the works in ; our city, at?IG7,735 -19. This amount embraces the entire cost of tho ercotion of the works in runniDg order. , with about eight miles of pipo, ready - fer use." The committee therefore "" commend your honorable body to order an election, -to bo held on Thursday, tho 12th day of May, inst., to .submit tho question directly to the , .j ialified voters.". Hence the question to bo decided by the people at tho election on Thursday next, under this cc'ioa of the Council, is, shall the Council be authorized to contract with tho Holly Water Work, Company, for tho erection Of Water Works in our city, as per specifications of Willian Weir, Engineer of eaid company, including eight miles of pipe, at a eost not to exceed 107,735 10. Thoso favoring the proposition, will deposit a ticket priutcd or written "ye?," and thoso opposed a fcimilar ticket con-

tainirig tbo word "no." This is tto '.

only construction that can fairly to j

1 given the election notice in connec j tion with the report of the committee. ! But it U evident, already, to evcry- : body who has ?ivfn ihn matter acv

fOMiJeration, that Mr. Weir's report uu.cuuvo in several particuiar?, anu can not be relied upon. Indeed Mr. Flagler, tho I'resident of the Company, say3 most emphatically, the Company will not tako the contract of sinking tho necessary wells. Moreover, eight miles of pipe would virtually amount to nothing, in supplying the city with water. There are already THIRTY MILES cf gas pipe laid in the streets of Evansvill?, aod yet everybody know3 that large p0rtjOC3 0f c,jty are cot reacDQ(j by gas pipe at all. To secure any aing like a fair and equitable distri bution of water to all portions of the city will rcquiro not less than FOR TY MILES OF PIPE. What folly then, to talk about ordering eight miles of pipe, unless tho many especially tho poorer class of the people desire to tax themselves for the few and" wealthier clars, who live in the heart cf tho city. This demonstrates tho absurdity of voticg as ordered by tho City Council for or against a proposi tion to construct Water Works on tho Holly Plan, with eight miles of' service pipe at a cost of $107,735 49. Tho election wi'l be a farce. If tho Council goes ahead and contracts for works to cost three or four times the amouut speci fied in the jroposition submitted to the people, they will bo doing what l. - : . v t ... . . tuey mis lit nave aono Wltnout KOing to the expense and trouble of an election, and what the vote will confer no additional authority for doing. ' We respectfully submit to the Council, will it not, be wiser to post pone the election uutil a competent party can. be fou id who will submit specific propositions for sinking tho necessary tunnel and wells, and ; lay iDg tho required amount of pipe? Let the people know where the thing will end and what it is likely to cost before asking them for authority to uodcrtako tho improvement do sircu. At leat let a competent engineer make the necessary exam matioa as to tho practicability of obtaining filtered water from the river in the way proposed, and also the number of miles of pipe which will be required to place a good supply of water, withip reach of all the citizens who will bo taxed to pay for the con struction of tho works. This plan alone has in it tho merit of fairness and common success.'' A WESTERS GUNTR AT EASTERN BtESKIiY.

Editors Journal: 7 In my last I promised some account of tho scenery, &o., on The bauli of the Bluo Moselle." Auaonius, a Iloman Poot, lived in Trier or Treves, pist which tho Mosella flows, and celebrated tho wine made from the grapes grown along its banks. These still retain their ancient reputation. No doubt much sold under that name, may be of an equally good quality, although grown on the banks of some of tho tributatary streams, such as tho Saar.' . The Moselle wino is chiefly a white wine; but I was informed that the color of the wine doos not depend so much on the color of the grape skin as ; upon tho process adopted. If the skin and pulp are macerated immediately after gathering, tho acid generated in fermentation is sufficient to deprive the wino of its color. When, therefore, a red wino is dosired, the grapes remain several days untouched in the vat, before the trampiDg process with great boots ia commenced. The vines, I observed, are almost invariably, in this part of Germany, pruned very eloso and trained usually on a single stake, so as to admit tho son as much as possible all round the bunches ; of grapes, to develop tho erapo sugar, " : Eeforo leaving tho Moselle, I may mention that there are numerous boaf built at Treves, resembling our keelboats, there being abundance of good lumber, as the forest near here, the Hoahwald, connects with the extensive timber regions of the Hundsruoken; and it may be also worthy of note that the Treves station, or Depot, cost about SG5.000, this railroad beinar owned by Government. When companies can be found to undertake a road along a profitable thoroughfare they are encouraged to do so by privileges ; but if connecting roadrt load from coal mines (ninetenths of which are often owned by government)- tho rods nec3sary for tho development and sale of the cnal are constructed by government. We noticed much coal being taken out at Saarbruck, also at Louiscnthal on our route. y THE RHINE FROM MAYENCE TO COBLENTZ. ; After leaviog our kind ?'ricn J and hot at Mettlach, we' took train for Wiesbaden, crossing the Rhine near Iiiogen, celebrated in song. Leaving our baggage at Wiesbaden, we took steamer down tho Rhine as far as Coblentz, with the noted fortress of Ehrenbreitsteio, on tho opposite side of the river. This embraces nearly .11 of the most romantic scenery along this far famed river, including besides princely and baronial residences which havo been frequently described, robbers castles, rendered classical by Sohiller, and others, in dramatic and legendary lore, as well as the haunts of the fabled sirens, who, 1 like those describe! by Homer in the Odyseey, lured oa luckless mariners to destruction. On this trip we passed one of those enormous rafts, mentioned by travelers, and counted fifty seven men usirg the various steering oars at the bow and stern, to keep this floating village with its rows of houses in a safe channel. . Having made this trip on such a craft, for tho want of a better, when formerly in Germany, I was scarcely prepared for the number of fine steamers, and for a railroad on each bank of the Rhine, frequently de-

In the former case, th"i3 watering place is said by tho internal and ex ternal use of its waters to havo pro duced a good many cures, especially ot diseasesassumiDga chronic character; and, in the latter, namely as a gam blicg place, it rarely cures and some times kills; but often increases the moral diseases. It was certainly to me most disgusting to see the feverish anxiety with which men and women seat themselves around the eight or ten "fables of these elegant gambling I saloons, whose stock sells at a high J premium, and with fixed eyes staked their silver, and Ircauently cold, on tbe revolution ot a wheel and tho l chances of a marble resting, as it stopDed alter the revolution ceased, on one number or another; or upon the chance ot one card turning up rather than another. The bank, while 1 looked on, gained at least three times out ot lour. Dut that evening one frequenter carried off 10,000 francs ; and that tempted others to their destruction. 1 he back must win large sums to keep up the enormous ex penses of music and dramatic at tractions which they furnish freely. As I walked out to the free uir and fine music, from theso gambling salaons (after seeing ladies and gentle men, apparently of the most refined appearance, risking tho infatuating contamination and staking the money perhaps of an interesting family), and looked on tho gay scene ot'promcnaders and wine-drinkers, and on the gushing and spray-casting fountain in front, L could not repress some re uecuuua.iiLo pmuicuusa neither music, drinking, beautiful women nor auht else but the cards or the' roulctto numbers. While the fine military band closed with a glo rious vol vourri. their pot pourri was a mixture of gold and silver; their "sweet home tho gambling 63loon; their " guiding star " not tho black eye or the curl cf a vermilion lip, but the rouge et noir of an overwhelm log passion. Ibo spray of the loun tain in front, as it tofo with tumult uous forco only to fall again in uo heeded drops to the fountain. basin. seemed to typify tho aimless hta ot tho gambling spendthrift who scatters his gold and silver with useless en eriry aloft, only to tail sooner or later into tho relentless reservoir of tho gambling banker. 1,1 ice RIvrhru-'. from whom.

Like Tantalus, these gamblers thirst after the golden stream, but as they stoop to quench their burning thirst, the occasional drop that should slake, only, tends to hightcn their gloating arder, nnd bring on a maddening desperation, an unquenchable thirst, a never ending misery. i If Baden Baden is any worse than Wiesbaden, it must be, as suggested by an acquaintance, about as near, morally, to a place of retribution as any other Bpot on the earth. THE VINE. ; A few observations, made at a later visit to this region, after" seeing . the difference in tho culture of the grapo farther south, may be interesting to our vine-growers, of which Vanderbury County has not a few. . As wo were carried by railroad from Wiesbaden past Rudcsheioj, Johannesberger and other noted wine regions through . Coblentz, ; &o., to Bono, wo were struck by the different modes adopted for training the vine, especially as compared with that employed in more southern countries. Here they wish all tho . sun possible, and either prune very close and train each vine on a separate vertical stake, or on an upright fence, or again, they mako a succession of kitchen roofs about four feet high, forming what, in geological language, might be termed successive anticlinal and synclinal structure, training the vines over the framo work. . , Farther south, where'sun i3 no object, they use rows of trees, twenty to thirty feet apart, and train a vino on each tree, using the tree for fruit, or its branches for firewood; or, yet again, near Naples, they do not prune much, if at all, and train the vine from tree to tree, permitting the grape clusters to hang from these pendant festoons in unrestrained luxuriance; In Sicily, the vines are pruned ' so close that no Bupport whatever is used, and perhaps only two or three clusters are thus produced on one vine; but od theso mountain sides, space is not much of an object. DR. FRESENIUS AND HIS LABORATORY. Turniag with pleasure from the gambling saloons of Wiesbaden, where all ia uncertainty, fo laboratory in the same city, where all is founded on most accurately ascertained facts, I gladly announce to tho scientific community that Dr. Fresenius enjoys excellent health, and is still laboring with untiring zeal in his beautifully arranged analytical laboratory, and has several American students in his classes. Uis institution, a model of neatness, latest improvements and active energy, is supported by his unaided private funds, and furnishes lectures and practical instruction under admirable professors, trained under the Doctor's own eye, the wholo superintended by his comprehensive vigilance and learning. . - Ho has recently been adding now buildings to his already fine laboratory, part of which is exclusively devoted to researches in agricultural chemistry-- It is situated on the street leading to the beautiful .Russian Temple, and has a very fine gar den in tho rear, due to tho taste ot its flower-loving owner, whose recreation is in pedestrian excursions with his family, or a ramble in the mazes of his garden. In his laboratory, he ha3 some very dclicato balances, where the saddle weight can, by the same lever, bo made to afleet either beam ; the formerly tedious filterirg.is now rendered a quick process, by the facility for producing a vacuum below the funnel, on a plan devised by Buosen. This eminent physicist still lectures in Heidelberg, and it is sincerely to bo honed that the health of these two HUtmWishfiil men. whoso labors have ,'ww"- , T7 . ; aircady benefited society so much,

The art is kept tecret, but the results are exhibited. and are truly worthy a cloo inspec tion. 1 hey are favorably disposed in a room for transmitted light. the custodian raising in succes sion to the window the pieces to be ' displayed. This much they are willing to imnart: that the colors used are quite different from those ultimately to be obtained, and which aro brousht out bv two seDirate lirings, or exposure to high heats in the kiln, thus frequently producing a chemical chance, such as the devclopmcnt of a peroxide of the metallic piement used, thereby altering-the 1 color. Sometimes, annarentlv. a I chemical change takes place, in which the aluminous base in the biscuit combines with a metallic oxide or acid in the coloring pigment, and thereby gives rise to a totally new color, lhese results have only been obtained by a series of loDg experi mcnting. When thus burned in, the colors aro a3 permanent a3 tho mate rial on which they aro placed, un changeable for centuries, they say forever. , We called on'Baron Liebig, but found, unfortunately, that his audi djence hour, 4 p.

On UrJgtjl l'alacc, in which, last year thev had a fine exhibition Walking from the hotel to the bridee over the Iser rollinir rap idly," wo rasscd the Royal Palace and some very fine buildings, in the favorite promenade, and saw the new college. JMaximuianura : also statues of Count Rumford ana other men of note. Although in this capital o Bavaria, claiming 276,000 inhabitants we perceived women performing many masculine tasks, such as sawing wood in tho streets and carrying it into houses by tho cord; we wcra yet struck by the general intelligence and improvement in countenances, eicco leaving tho more Southern latitudes ' ' TRANKFdET-ON-TnE-MAIN. . After crossing the Danube and rid in? all night, we reached Frankfort and went to see iJacneckcr a celebra ted statuo .of Ariadno. A rotunda has been set aside for that and a few more statues Ariadne, placed on a pedestal, and lighted from above, is curtaioed from light until everything is ready, when on withdrawing th hangings, she bursts on tho view in tbo lull lorco ot her indisputable benntv. r ' In this vicinity, for tho first time in maDy hundred mile, wo come upon sandstone, the toil resulting from which, is not tisus-My very productive Ycr the rccion ia well cultivated and generally level, affording flax, wheat rve. barley and hops, the two latter em ployed for the celebrated Bavarian beer.

Here we examined tho Cathedral particularly the fine bronze statue o Helena, the mother of Constantino and, outside, the statue erected to the memory of the. great composer Beethoven. In a pleasint promenade we found the statuo of thi poet Arndt, breathing from its pedestal patriotic, liberty-loving sentiments, and, following another fine promenade to its termination, entered tho museum which surprised us by the excellence of its arrangement and the xrent and variety of its collection. Truly tho students at the admirable University of Bonn, have very many advantages such, as this museum, fine observatories the ample dissecting amphitheatre and other professional adjunots. I am happy to say that many American students are avaling themselves of the doublo advantaga of attending lectures and of acquiring a thorough knowledge of Gcrrsan. in which language countless valuable scientific works are written, and whioh has so charming a' literature. In my next I propose to tako your readers, in imagination, to the Crimea andT in subsequent communications to Turkey, Greece, Syria, Eeypt and Italy, forming in all, probably, a dozen additional letters, if they do not think tho subject connected with those interesting regions already exhausted by other writers, i ; -Yours truly, ' .

A little negro bootblack entered the storehouse of one of our Front Street merchants, and politely invited the salesman iu front to have a "shine for five cents." The clerk sought to excuse himself from the proffered invitation by Baying that he would black the urchin's boots for "five cents." The negro eyed him for a moment, and with the utmost nonchalance placed hi3 muddy hoof upon a box, and told tho clerk to "take a chair and he would pay him five cents." The clerk determined to keep bis word, and proceeded to pick up the darkey's brush and blacking, but was immediately stopped ty the youngster, who cried, "Look ya here; you got to get your own brush and blackipg for dis job." Amid the laughter of the crowd, tho plucky clerk at once produced brush and blacking, and in a few minutes the negro's boots became acquainted with a scientific polish. When the deed was done, tho little "nig" produced a five cent piece, and departed, whistling the once popular air, "John Brown's body lies mouldering in the grave."
