| TURN TO THE RIGHr.-lt has been SAID
that pedestrians find less difficulty in passing
up or down Broadway than on our own
| kA0wn fact that Broadway is at all timss
more densely packed than any other street
in the Union. In the public thoroughfares
of larger cities, pedestrians have been forced
! to adopt rule by which they are enabled
to 60 either up or down with little seeming
| trouble-this rule is to "turn to the right. y
II our own people would adopt this rule,
particularly on Sunday, when going to or
complaints of the crowded state of Free
mason street after the dismissal of the vari-
GUS congregations which generally meet be-
tween Church and Catharine streets. 1t has
been said perhaps by some crusty old
bachelor-that the ladies are ruder than the
men. This we will not endorse, for we can.
not think that anything the dear creatures
do is rude; but we would remind them that
two fashionably dressed ladies' will, W hen
walking abreast, take up the whole width
OF the pavement, and that when they meet
two others, if there is not room for the four
to pass abreast, it is the duty of the lady on
the left to drop behind her companion, and
then the two couple, with file movem ent,
pass to the right, and the difficulty of pass
ing with extended crinoline is overcome
The above movement, in military matters,
upIriA ha laS
command for which would be, Gone file from
left to rear, rigat oblique, march," This
same command would do If three ladies
were abreast, and there was only room for
four to pass, the 'file' on the left could drop
to the rear in both parties, and an oblique
movement to the right would pass them
without difficulty.
We are not disposed to make soldiers of
the ladies, but give them the above hints
that they may profit by them, which we
are sure they would if they only knew how
their dresses Glitch up" when two sets of
hoops, coming from opposite directions,
come in contact, or how often we have seen
the complexion of their hose when one
fashionably distended lady squeezes betwe cen
two others. Turn to the right, ladies, turn
to the right and spare our bushes
SOMETHING LIKE a MARKET HOUSE. Now
that the contractor is getting the stalls in the
new building ON our market space,it begins
to assume something the appearanceof
market house, and will be, when finished ,one
of the most beautiful and complete in the
State. The stalls are noodles of their kind
and the fact of having them fitted alike, will
give the interior of the building a uniform
appearance we have never seen in any SINH
lar structure. ThAdoors are not exactly the
thing the lower part Of them should have
been panel work but this,w ar" informed,is
according to specifications, consequently
NO fault of the contractor We learn that q
pump is to be placed at The Eastern corner,
for the convenience of the market people;
this will also be a treat convenience to the
neighborhoed and is just the thing that has
long been wanted in that section OF the city.
This pump is to be one of the old fashioned 4
wooden pumps which have stood all the
tests of time, aud are sIter all, under
same circums tsnces, the cheapest and best
pump i use.
