Mr. Frans felt sore npon the subject, and
thought it a deliberate attempt on the part of

and he hurled it back into the teeth of the one

The Chair demanded order, and notified the

The ditch and common sower, knovm as tb?

and rcprrach to this city, is at last about to be
subjected to a system of thorough improvement,

1 hat j.art between ITtli and 7th streets is in a
high state of nauseous fermentation al>ont eight
months of the twelve, and myriads of bubbles
c ntinually ooze up dur'ngthoae months through
a thick coating of green ?cum. diffusing through
out the atmosphere in its neigh'ooihood jwison
ons gnsses. which are wat ted in every direction
b^ the winds,spreading disease throughout the
that part between 7th and streets, for some
time familiarly known as "the meadows," from
its wild and swampy character, is perhaps less
dangerous, as there b not so much unwholesome
water for evaporation; portions of it being almost
dry land, except in cases of high tide or freshet.
when it is neariy ail submerged, small mud
islands totted with w ild gracs and weeds cropoinir
out here and there only.
That port'on t rom street to Maryland ave
nue was known as the "Cow Pasture'* until the
rect nt raids of the poundmaster in that direc
tion. At the present time it is covered with a
dens-growth ot \?ild o;.is and rank weeds, the
lurking place of hybrid ducks, polly-won and
mosquitoes. 6
South of Maryland avenue, as far down as
?irgima avenue, little is now known of it-? con

venture very near it. The name it goes by iu
this neighborhood is the "Long Old Fields.-'

three dredging machines were brought here ard

At that time the mnd was thrown out on the
* hanks, to b? carted a^ray. but the weight was
too much tor the sustaining walls, which com
menced tumbling in. The next plan resorted to
was to float it away on scow? to a cove between
, the mouth of .he canal and Buzzard's Point.
This was afterwards stopjied on account of its
hiiing up the channel of the Eastern Branch,
! ainl the contractors soon afterw ards hauled up
for the s. asm, t rst, ho vever dredging a narrow
diteh up to the bridge for sewerage purp??\n
that neighborhood. Considerable trouble was
experienced, it will be seen, in finding a suita
ok place for the dei^its. The contractors ob
j tamed a tugboat and tiwed the scows down be
low Alexandria, to dump them tor a while, but
were prevented by the authorities.

of the first things Uiey did was to order the

; old Hood-gate# cut through the dvke sufficiently
to admit the machines into the basin. The
mud had formed here so that it was impossible
to get a flat-boat over this basin except at high
tide, and the machines had to cut their wa , I
tu t b> foot. A,id here, again, the same diffi
culties wire encountered at. in the Fast.-?
Branch?;he finding of a suitable place for de
iwfwi.il plan was the tilling up of
the hite Lot; also, the low grounds went ot

heavy expense for carting, tar beyond the ???

or the board, which was finally adopted, was to
dispose of the (hedged matter at a point ne*er
the ?cene of ?l-erations. and at the same time to
utilize it; and. through the advice of competent
ei.gineers, a wall is now being constructed each
side of the channel, commencing at the noint of
er trance to the basin of the o'd dike on the west
side, and extending due rorth to the southeast
coriHTot Gait's wharf, and running in a d'rect
.ire with it. making a continuous line of wall
1 lw the dike which connect*
*"h ,he Monument Lot. This wall is to be of
stone, sej on rows of piles cut orf below low
water mark, and w hen completed, and the space
between it And the old causeway filled in, w ill
a coKTmrorB i.i?te op wharp
a., the way down to the river channel, making a
most valuable wharf property tor the District.
.' J? ,1.'e ***??* Ot the channel (which is to be
1< l? feet w.de) a similar wall is now nearly com
pleted, running on a parallel line with the west
* !?,aI-omt near the northwest part of Eldo
rado Island. Here an angle of about fortv-five
degrees is made northeast rly a distance of
about <>ne hundred teet. when a cour-e is tlvn
taken due east, and continued to the uoin'
where the south wall of the canal terminate*
tM? i? t V *?eet The w !",,e ' "" -r-h of
this is to Ik- of wood, and is made with the view
or answering i.resent nun>oses. and at the same
time to form tne foundation for a more perma
nent wall at some lutureday.
The manner of constructing it ia bvdrivine
two rows of piles, the piles in the front rows
being five feet ai art. and driven down to a .-olid
foundation. Behind this is another row, for the
purpose ot tying, which is .U?ie by means of
ndled iron rods seven-eighths of an inch in
diameter, whichpass through from tlie iiont to
the rear piles. The front row are cut oft" about
on a le'Vtl with the north wall, and a terant
I ?"d.e ?? the end of e*ch, which tits iu a mortice

cr plate. Behind this, and close together, are
then dr.ven sheet piles, which run about twentv
feet to a solid clay bottom. Those are all spiked
? to the capping at the top. Heavy logs are then
placed in the rear of the piling, and die iron
L roe's are run through a skirting of oak plank on
the face of the sheet piles, and o on through the
y timbers laying on the ground in the rear
of the ties. The mud when thrown over presses
the timber down deep behind the ties, and the
whole terms a firm wall.
THE PESTG* IS
to fill trt> the whole of this low marsh between
?"d the Monument grounds. This it
w.ll be remembered, was the plan pr??oscd
| years ago by Mr. Wm. Wise, former caual com
n"*sioner; and an area of seme

any luture time be replaced by a stone wall,
simply bv driving a row of pile? in front, and
cutting oft both the new and old piles b?iow

Ever since tne sewing macnine was invented
many attempts have been made to construct a
fcrst-class machine that could be sold at a rea
sonable price. To the McLean Hi Hooper and to
the Wilson Sewing Machine companies belongs
the credit of having succeeded in attaining this
object. The McLean Hooper-Company has pro
duced a machine which sews directly from two
F}*ools, forms the elastic lock-stitch, and runs
lighter than any other machine using two
threads. The Wilson Shuttle Machine bears the
palm of excellence as a first-class tailoring ma
chine, being more durable in construction and
better in the arrangement of its working parts,
thereby producing a lighter running and more
easily managed shuttle machine than anv ot its
comi?etitors. Price list;?McLean Hooper
