H Work on the streets of Cali.

re- Work on the streets of Galli-
uolis, seems at last to have been COM
menced in good earnest, SO far as
cleaning the sewers is concerned.
AS vet ~e Sc, no signs Of work on
the sidewalks, nor any preparation
for rendering them passible next

course it is none of our business, and
if those who do reside in it, will
cease importuning us to make it so,
we shall gladly ''dry up on the sub
iect. In good time, we have no
doubt all nes essary paving will be
done. 1t very certainly will be so,
if each property holder will take the
matter IN hands. and'give the author
itles to understand, that it shall be
done fright forthwith if they have
to do il even without orders. That's
the way to do it The President OF
our council, is setting the example
by constructing one in front of his
fine residence on Sd street. May his
example speedily be followed by all
public spirited citizens, particularly
those on I'd street above the Public

HOur mail facilities are growing
still more complicated and vexateous.
The arrangement made by the A. z.
NJ, has been suspended, and we are
now indebted to the energy and kind
ness of Lient T W Gilman Of the
Trumbull Guards for the only mail
eceived in four days. How much
longer this state of things is to con-
tinue, no one seems to know. The
Department takes it as coolly as
though all was well. We hear Of
mail contracts being made in the
rebel States, and the whole attention
of the General office seems absorbed
in that direction
Meantime one of the most impor-
tant offices in Southern Ohio is suf-
fered to drag along in a slipshod
manner, until the officials at Wash
ington experiment upon the solvency
of man who was verdant enough to
take the contract for abort one sixth
of its real cost, of all which the De
partment must have been fully coy
infant. Two mails q week are the
usual average now. and for these we
nay thank private enterprise. Still
our benevolent "Uncle" never fails
to exact his 3 cents postage. Our
subscribers will please bear in mind
that the failure to receive the Jour
nal, rests not with us. They are
regularly placed in the Office at Gal
lipolis, but if suffered to remain there
for three days, are very likely to mis-
connections at certain points. We
are patient. viii our subscribers
please be equally so.

R The spirit Of improvement
seems to be on the increase among
our citizens. Mr.. Creuzet has made
a decided improvement in the ap-
pearance of his dwelling and store
rooms. We notice also that our
friend J. D. Bailey is fitting up a
store room above the Sherman House
in splendid style, and what is more.
he is preparing to put down 'frot-
fon,' that is worthy the name, side
walk of that kind not only evinces
taste, but shows a public spirit wor-
thy of imitation.

R The wheat and grass crops in
this section Of country, never looked
better than now. The late heavy
rains have produced an extraordinary
growth of stalk, and unless som ething
unusual occurs the crops of both will
be enormous. Some "croakers" are
talking of rust having already made
Its appearance. We never knew q
season in which this class OF prophets
did not prophesy all manner of mis-
fortunes. So it is to-day. Potatoes
are doing well. Corn in many places
has suffered greatly from the wet
weather. There is still time to plant,
with a reasonable hope of a goot
crop. Let none feel discouraged.
Try again "Up and at iv," with all
your available force. The country
never needed good crops more than
this season. Do your duty, and
Providence will do the rest.

a Pugilists Funeral.
The London correspondent of the New

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
1.-The funeral Of Tom Sayers, though by
no means equal to some memorable obse-
quies in New York, was still something of a
a spectacle. Crowds of the toughest kind
of rsughs gathered cary in the streets OF
Camden Town, the suburb Of his residence.
The public houses were draped in mourning
and drove a roaring trade. Conviyial par
ties drank their beer at the open windows,
sang songs and shouted choruses. 1t was
the next thing 10 hanging in front OF New
gate. While waiting for the hearse, the
crowds in the streets were entertained by
bands of negro Ministries. The chief mourn
er was brown dog, bis collar trimmed with
black Grape There were thirty thousand
people who preceded or followed the NOR
tai remains to Highgate-a large portion Of
them were bulet-headed, big-jawed tg'hing
men, and tsoys who do moi work, nor as
yet vote for living, and yet manage TO
have enough TO eat, and more than enough
TO drink. These, yelling and swearing,
swarmed into the beautiful Highgate Gene
terry, playing leap-frog over the tomostones.
They climbed the trees and squatted on

Gold BACKS.

"Gold and green is hereafter to be the
lively of our national currency" a cotem-
porary remarks "The new gold certificates
which are to be Immediately issued, are
printed on yellow tinted paper, an indica-
ton of their basis of value, and to aistin-
guish them from the greenbacks, which, in
process of time, will come to mean gold,
TOO When we first announced the purpose
of Mr.. McCulloch TO issue these gold certi-
ficates we called it the first step towards the
resumption of specie payments, and it will
prove such. When suficiency Ct these
gold certificates shall have been put into
circulation to serve the purpose of con-
verlible currency, corresponding amount
of greenbacks of the higher denominations
may be Withdrawn, and gradually a specie
paper currency be brought into use, without
any of the disturbing Influences which a
sudden change from one kind to the other
would ca Use For all Government purposes /;
for the payment of duties at the custom
houses: for the sett ement of balances; for
remittances abroad, except to China; and
for the payment of interest on the FIVE
twenties and ten forties, these gold certifi
Gates will not only be as good as gold, but
good deal bette:, lnasmuch as they will be
MOI Convenient to handle. and less costly
10 transport. This is one step toward spe-
Gle payments, and another has been taken
by our prudent head Of the Treasury De-
partment, in the virtual retirement OF all
the compound interest bearing notes. Gold
has not yet shown disposition to fall Ia
price under the influence of these measures
for the very good reason that the gold GER
tifcates have not yet been issued, and the
compound interest notes were already TO a
great extent, Withdrawn from circulation
before the Secretary commenced funding
them. But we shall not have 10 wait long
before geld wit in to fail, and with it

AN IRrsHNAN's PLASTATIoS.-The finest sugar
estate this side of Cuba is the Houmas planta-
ton, on the Mississippi river. The present pro-
prietor purchased it in 1851, for 81 500 0Oo and
he bought at the same time an adjoining estate
of eight thousand acres, for which he paid $780,
900 more. The purchases included the buildings
sugar houses and machinery, and more than
thousand slaves. The value of his crops the
first year was set down at S3l5. 200. and only
the year before the rebellion the proprietor reck-
oned an income Of $500 600 on his sugar crop
alone. An English tourist who saw this magnif-
cent estate after the war began describes the six
thousand acres unbroken by fence or boundary
as level as billiard table. covered with cane
(Which, with sugar at eight cents per pound
promised an average profit of at least one hun
dred dollars per acre., and soil which could be
turned up hundred years without manuring
as q sight over which an English agriculturist
/ would probably lose his senses" On the same
plantation were thousands more acres tasselne
with corn to feed the slaves, and yet more thou
sands covered with brake, swamp and forest
waiting to be redeemed. The owner of this
splendid property, who is yet in the prime of
life, and we may add for the benefit of some of
readers, is still bachelor, left Belfast Ire
land, poor and friendless youth to seek his for
tune, when, as he said himself, he scarcely
knew what fortune meant in the new world

MEMORY OF THE DEAD.-It is an exquisite and
beautiful thing in our nature, that when the
heart is touched and softened by some tranquil
happiness or affectonate feeling, the memory Of
the dead comes over it most powerfully and ire
sistibly 1t would seem almost as though our
better thoughts and sympathies were charms, in
v;r,ne of which the soul is enabled to hold some
vague and mysterious intercourse with the spirits
of those whom we loved in life. Alas how Of
ten and how lorg may these patient angels hover
around us, Watering for the spell which is so
soon forgotten.
