WIDE vs.. NARROW STREETS.

There is acontroversy now going on in some
of the New \ ork papers as ID the relative ad-
yantages OF wide and narrow streets. The ad-
yOcates of the latter have started the curious
theory that business men prefer narrow streets:
but their opponents demonstrate by examples,
that business men prefer wide streets, If they
are in the path of business, and if rents are not
too high for them; instaneing Broadway and
Canal streets in New York, Fulton street in
Brooklyn, Lake street IN Chicago, Fourth street
in St Louis, ST. Charles street In New Orleans
Market street in Philadelphia, and Baltimore
street in Baltimore Boston has no very wide
streets; but Washington and Milk streets are
among the widest, and are the chief business
streets. We have heard it suggested that whole
sale trade seeks narrow streets, and retail trade
wide streets. If so, why sol
In this city we have had no experience in
narrow szreets, but are able to nudge pretty cor

We have no doubt trade follows population

other causes than the width of the channels in

CONVICT LABOR--SOme of the trade societies
are taking action on the subiect of convict
labor AT the present time, they say, the con-
vIcts OF New York State alone are producing
manufactured goods TO the ex ent of about five
million dollars annually. They are thus
brought into direct competition with the re-
spectacle laborins class, and the latter receive
a couble injury from such contact. In the
first place, this convict labor takes away en-
Iloyment from a large number Of respectable
workmen. That is, if manufacturing were not
carried on by convict labor there would be that
much more work for other laborers Again. il

EARTH's CURIosITIEs.-At the city
of Medina, in Italy, and about four miles
around it, whenever the earth is dug,
when the workmen arrive at a distance
OF sixty three feet, they come to a bed of
chalk, which they bore with an augur
five feet deep. They then Withdraw
from the pit before the augur is remov-
ed, and upon its extraction the water
bursts up through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills the new
made well, which continues full, and is
affected neither by rains nor drought.
But what is the most remarkable in this
operation is the layer of earth as we de-
scend. At the depth of fourteen feet
are found the ruins of an ancient city
paved streets, houses, floors, and differ
ent pieces of mason work.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
Weekly National Tntelligencer.

In compliance with numerous solicitations the
publication of. the Weekly National Intelligencer
was resumed on Thursday, November Goth, 1867.
1t is much enlarged, and is in fact, one of the
largest weekly newspapers published in this coun-
try. 1t is printed with new and clear type, on
strong, fine white paper, and will contain more
reading matter than any weekly published south
of New 4 ork- 1ts columns are devoted to news,
literature, commerce. agriculture. the industrial
arts. the interests Of religion and political affairs.
1t contains regular reports of Congressional
proceedings and Departmental news, and the latest
foreign and domestic markets.
In each of its departments special attention is
given by an able and numerous corps of editors
and reporters to provide the latest, most interest
ing and reliable intelligence, and to make the
Weekly National Integencer in every respect q
first class family newspaper.
Maintaining the just Constitutional powers of
the General Government ON the one hand and re-
served rights of the States on the other, confident
that the Union can be preserved only while the
rights of each shall be respected by both and not
transcende1 by either, the Weekly National Intel
ligencer will advocate the restoration of the
Southern States to their place in The Union, on
the basis of just and equal representation in the
national legislature and the electoral college, and
will urge social and sectional pacifcaton and re-
Cancellation as the means OF restoring harmony
and property to all parts of the country, and the
proper development of its vast agricultural, mine
raj and industrial resources. In addition to its
value as q miscellaneous newspaper, the Intelli-
gencer will in every respect supply the place of a
national Union campaign paper. 1t will be the
only weekly paper of this character published at
the seat of Government. 1t rests with the friends
of the Union aud the Constitution to secure this
paper circulation that shall enable it to spread
the truth and to arouse the patriotic impulses of
the people in every State, county, town, hamlet

preciated.

A FINE STEEL ENGRAVING,
BY +. II. STUART.


From Painting by Clarence NJ DobeA.
This beautiful Engraving, suggestive OF Life's
Journey from Childhood to Old Agi, which has
been so long in the Engravers hands is now ready
fDr subscribers.
The Picture represents Boat Crossing
Stream on the forward part Childhood is repre-
sented by Boy and Girl, joyous and delighted
with the prospects ahead; while further along in
the boat is Youth,-a young lady careessly play
ing with pond lilies; her admirer. "a young man,
sits by her side. Near the centre of the boat,
Manhood is represented by husband and wife. The
husband is standing, his hand resting upon the
shoulder of his wife, while she looks up with a
coniding and cheerful smile, her child of perhaps
six summers, is sleeping in her lap. In the after
part of the boat, Old Age lis shown by an old man
and woman who have travelled ''Lifes Journey"
together, with all its "joys and SORROWS" "hopes
and fears" the old gentleman leans forward upon
his cane deep in thought, while the old lady sits
with basket in her lap looking back, evidently
reviewing the past. Time is represented by a
hardy oarsman, whose only care seems to be in
pulling the boats crew across the stream, his
daughter in her sun-bonnet, very cOntentedly
peers over the bow of the boat The whole grou-
ping and style of the picture shows master work
of art, and need only to be seen 70 be admired.
