FURTHER IMPovEMENTs.-Fore street is
slowly coming up from the devastating effects
of the great confagration, and it already pre-
sents more business like appearance than it
did of old. With the exception of a brick
block of three stores, every building on the
north side of this street-from Centre to India
street-was destroyed in the great fire. On the
most of the lots made vacant splendid brick
blocks have been erected. 1t would now be
hard for any one, who had been absent from
the city five years, to find Gorham's Corner
In place of the miserable and unhealthy shan
ties that formerly stood there, neat, comfortable
tenements have been put up, and if there are
any pig styes they are not to be seen, and they
are so located that passer by does net get the
full benefit of the odor. There we see the old
Printers Exchange" which was moved from
its former location on Commercial street, and
has been neatly fitted up, the first story for
stores and the upper stories for dwelling houses.
1t has had every convenience added, and the
tenants are comfortable and not over crowded
Between Union and Plum streets Mr.. II. n.
Jose is erecting neat brick block of two
stores. 1t has frontage of 40 feet and a depth
of 80 feet, and is to be three stories high, with
French roof Between this and Exchange
street there are two or three vacant lots, that
will probably be covered within year,

JOHN G. McpoNoUGH,


WHAT shall he done about Alaska? The
bargain is consummated, and it only remains
to pay over the cool So 100000 in coin. The
majority report of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, favors making the necessary
appropriations the minority report takes
strong ground the other way. Mr.. Wash.
bure of Illinois is OF the opinion that Alaska is
a very dear whistle indeed for the price. Nc
doubt it is. The report of Mr.. George David
son of the United States Coast Survey proves
that the nation has reason to be sick of its
bargain, that Alaska will never raise any ce-
reals that its mineral resources are mythical
and that the whole country is covered one OF
two feet deep, owing to the moisture of the
climate, with certain vile moss called by the
'euphonious name of sphagnun.. The harbor Of
New Archangel is almost as dangerous as that
of st. Thomas in the height of the earthquake
season. The sun, moon, stars and other celes
tial bodies are curiously chary of their pres
ence in that high latitude, and are for the
greater part of the year invisible.
All this is unpleasant, but no one has yet
shown how the Government OF the United
States having negotiated and ratified the
treaty can honorably escape from the obliga-
ton to pay what it has promised: The Rus
sian treaty has been ratified by the Senate
and is therefore in very different situation
from the Danish treaty for the sale of St
Thomas The House is not called upon to
make an appropriation in the latter case, but
in the former it certainly is. No more green.

THE Democrats in justice 10 themselves
should have an assassination plank IN their
platform. Lincoln, Ashburn and Dosty all
fell by the hands of coed Democrats. AT
York, Penn, the other day, Logan came very
near falling victim to the same patriotic
zeal. The La Crosse Democrat, having a
larger circulation than any other two Demo-
cratic papers in the country, cordial y approves
of this sort of thing. The New York World
sneeringly spe AXIS of the most illustrious of the
murdered men above named as the "late Ia

mate and efficient auxiliary in attaining poit-
ical ends"
