If 4 , back into a past era, an era umlishtrind by the telegraph or the telephone, a ho tel elevator or a clanging electric car, is an experience that many tired people wonld rejoice in—for a Week. But it is donbtfnl if they would be willing to give np the conveniences of modern life for a longer period. In a steamboat ride from St. Louis to New Orleans' I slept like a child all nlgut and mentioned the fact at the breakfast table. Every one smiled when I said that the boat's noise did not . iturbmc. , "Why, we tied np to a tree all night,” salLthe clerk, "and did not move a yard nntS Bn boor ago.” I had not been long enough in the at- %Njg|Va ot Mfeslssippi travel to avoid worrying abont the loes of a whole night while we were tied np to the shore, had been a fog, I^was told, and to dangerous I wfl bound fo( New Orleans Mar io make it according to the boat's schedule. Bnt 1 had not fathomed a tithe of the myste ries o( jivsc travel. "It’s too bad we’re so late,” I said to the steward.

As We hard already said, itis a family quarrel with which we have nothing whatever to do, only We respectfully call the attention of the council to the fact that the old hand fire engine is exposed to the weather, and if it is not to be made ok of anv more it ought to be dls poeeed of to some small town that * ' utiliw It, There is probably much, except repacking, needed to put it ih good fix, amHf this is the case it might be well to fepalf it and put it somewhere, say on Broad street, where it might be made to do good service in case of fire. It can be need for a little while at any ordinary well and might be the means of preventing a big fire. We tenet that the council will make some disposition of it and not allow it to fall to pieces from exposure to the weather. In this oonneation we again suggest that we ought to have a hook and ladder company, which, when properly handled, can render very essential service, especially if the fire is a serious one. With this we wonld be in first-class condtion, as we already have a fine steamer and plenty of water.
