OPPOSITE Postoilice
THE APPROACHES TO DAYroN.-It is high
time that something was done By the Com
missioucrs the city Council. or somebody
else, to make the principal streets leading
10 the city once more passable Third
street between the levee and the bridge, is
in very bad and unsafe condition. The
flood did terrible damage in that locality,
and although vehicles can, by extra effort,
pass to and from the city, still the road is
cntirly unfit for transportation by heavily
loaded wagons. u is also very unsafe, es-
pccally at night. During the fall and
winter very large amount of hauling of
grain, wood. 30, viii have TO be done over
this road, and it is time it was put in good
order for this purpose. 1t is not likely that
theproposed bridge viii be bnilt this fall /;
consequently no time should be losti in re-
pairing this important. avenue to the city.
All our business men are interested in
having it done Immediately, and they
shonld ser that it is not put off any longer.
Il "a a matter of wonderland surprise that
Bridge street has not also been repaired
between the lcvee and the bridge This
Nenue has been entirely closed up since
the flood. Not n thing has been done to-
wards repairing it, when comparatively
small amount Of labor and expense would
render It passable. ltis seldom that we see
so palpablc disregard of the public inter
ests ~ has bceu manifested in the cases al
luded to above.

Tmg EDTon-Thc following beautiful
extract is from the pen of the Iriuter-poet,
Bayard Taylor:
The realm OF tIle press X enchanted
ground Sometimes the editor has the hap
pincsS OF knowing that he has defended tie
right. exposed the wrong, protected the
Wolk; that he has given utterancc to q
sentiment that had cheercd somebody's
hour. made somebody happier. llindled u
smile upon sad face or Il hope ON Il heavy
heart.
lie may meet With that sentiment many
years after; il may have lost all charms of
paternity, but he feels an affection for il.
lie welcomes il rs n long absent child. He
reads 1t ~ for the first time. and wonders
il, indeed, he wrote It. for he hns changed
since then. Perhaps he could not give ut
tcrancc TO the sentiment now--perlsps he
would not if he could.
10 seems like the voice of his former self
calling to his parents, and there is some
thing mQurnful in his tone. lie begins to
think--to remember why lac wrote il, who
were his readers then, and how much he
has changed. So he muses., until he finds
himself wondering IL that thought will con-
tinue to iloat after he Is dead, aud whether
he Is really looking upon something that
will survive him. And then comes the
sweet consciousness that there is nothing
IN the sentence that he coulG wish lmwfit-
ten-that il i q better part Of him-a shred
lrom the garment of Immortality lie shall
leave behind when he joins the 'innumera-
Bile caravan, and takes his place III the 81
lent halls of death.
