OPENING OF UNION STREET. The open
ing of Union street from Marshall ave
nue. to Brinkley avenue would be-a ben
eft to the community, and we direct the
attention Of the City Council to the fol
lowing letter ON the subject from an old
citizen and practical man:
To the Editor of the Ledger;
/ see by the Appeal of the 10th nit:
that an ers Of improvement has dawned
upon our city, but see that the opening
of Union avenue to the city limits is not
in the programme Now this avenue is
well improved miles east of the city, and
is the direct road to the postotfice and
courtrooms, etc, by the City Hospital
and how this improvement could so long
escaped the notice of our City Fathers is
astonishing this being the only direct
avenue to the country south OF Poplar,
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Court,
Madison, Monroe, Union, and all streets
out from the city, as far as direct com
munioation Il concerned. Now II Union
street was opened from Marshall avenue
90 Town reserve, through the Fowler
tract it would show that the present
Board of Aldermen have some knowledge
of the wants of growing city.

! GnrAr NrIsAscE. THO crowds

A GREAr NUISANCE The crowds OF
baseball players, whites and blacks,
which congregate every Sunday in Pres
ton Grove, at the head of Court street
extended, are great nuisance, and
should be stopped as soon as possible by
the police. A place in the city where so
many ladies and children are in the habit
of passing to and fro IS no ground for
base-balls playing. The danger Of having
peoples eyes knocked ont with batted
balls is annoying enough. bu; the loud
yelling Of profane language is unbcaT-
able. The age is SO gross that every lit
tie fellow thinks it quite manly TO swear
like trooper A stranger to see and
hear what we saw and heard yesterday
would reasonably imagine all our school
masters are second editions Of Mr.. Wack-
ford Squeers.

disordered and corrupted.
Such Is the three-fOld operation Of Hostel
terra StamaSh Biiiers, and hence the great
superiority Of that standard vegetable restora-
tive over all medicines that are merely tones
and nothing else. The effect Of the ordinary
astringent tinctures and extracts upon the
bowels is disastrous. and upon the depraved
blood or bile they produce no beneficial effects
whatever. In dyspepsia and liver complaint
all Inc GHids and hnmors Of the body are mara
or less infected. and the bowels are often badly
constipated. An unmodided astringent-
outline for instance does infinitely more
harm than good in such cases. In Hostetter's
Bitters. on the other hand. the stimulating
and tonic elements are qualified with aperients
and antiseptic ingredients. The finest laxa-
lives and blood depuFenls In the vegetable
kingdom are intsrmixed with those Of purely
inFisorsting nature. and under the operation
Of this admirable combination, the three i'm

and publication go on together. The rapidity
with which the disOrdered organization returns

function Of the body is favorably affected by
the various properties Of this comprehensive
and well-balanced preparation. As general

She is thus described in letter to the
Cincinnati Commercial
Something like eight or nine years ago
had she pleasure Of being one among
the audience that greeted Mics Carloita
PATHS first appearance in public. Itoc-
CURED at rather small hall connected
with Niblo's Garden, New York, which
was by no means we'll filed although
many of the fret musicians as we'll az
amateurs and critics were TO be counted
among the number. This great canta-
trice Of to-day, this very queen of con-
cert singers, was then but timid young
girl, and probably at that time, even in
her girlish dreams of ambition, never
thought to have turned the heads,
crowned heads, too, many of them, of all
Europe, as she since has done with her
wondrous gifts and genius. On the
night of Miss PATHS debut, rs she adj
vanced to the footlights, very percepti-
BILE shadow Of nervousness crossed her
sweet face, aud in the brilliant cadenza
with which she opened her first song (the
Polaca in Puritani,") an accompany
ing tremor in her voice reflected back
the slight shade in her features. At this
moment either her youthful beauty,
Fresh as blush of morning roses.
Ere the midday sun prevail"
the unexpected warbling that for mo-
ment rested on the air, the sympathy felt
for her as debutante, or all combined,
brought down rapturous burst of APP
plsuse. II was genuine expression Of
feeling and admiration, and brought q
happy, child-like smile to the lips of the
songstress, and seli-poesession Tor the rest
of the evening.
Carlotta was then very lame, and would
ouly advance few steps beyond the
snte.room door, scarcely within range OF
the foot.lights. This extreme sensitive
nsss Of manner and attitude, as she stood
at the end of the stage, quite alone, as il
were, seemed only to add to the effect of
her marvellous singing and fine figure, for
then, as now, her form was simply per-
feet.
Since then have seen her many times
in the mature self-possession and dignity
acquired by years of success, and in
dresses far more elaborate and costly
than the one she wore on tnat occasion,
