with What Shall the Streets be
pavad9

ANN0Ae
Here comes another invention, one
that has been tried at Elmira, New
York, and is abundantly Endorsed by
the authorities of that village. 1t is
konwn as the Wykof Patent, is a
wooden continuance, is cheaper than
the Nicolson, and has the additional
advantage of greater promise of du-
rsbility. The wood used is yellow
pine. It is first cut into equal lengths,
and then split t1ith the grain into
blocks. Upon a bed of gravel q board
foundation is laid, and upon this the
blocks are set, not IN regular rows,
but In the style Of stone pavements.
The openings are filled with q compo-
sitlon of tar and gravel, similar to
that used in laying the Nioolson, the
blocks having been first stepped in
boiling tar. No strips or nails are
used, and the pavement, when com
pleted, is level on the surface, aud
has a great advantage for travel. be-
cause Of the ir%regularity Of the blocks
in size. The cost is said to be fifty to
s~eventy-hve cents per square yard less
than that of the Nicolson, while In
durability a gain o f6tty per cent. Is
claimed.
aThe owner of this patent is now in
the city, and he proposesto put-down
q square OF the pavement@on trial.
Fourth street, between Walnut aud
Vine or Vine and Race, would be a
good place upon which to experiment.
The city, before going extensively in
to any of the contrivances, should
test the matter thoroughly. This
pine block arrangement strikes US as
worthy such a test. If the owner
has faith enough in it to put it down
on Fourth street he should be encour-
aged to do so, with the understanding
that there is to be no pay unless it
proves a Cincinnati Ga
zetfe.

A LITTLE HEROINE-A Child
SaUes a Steamboat from Fire. Some
two or three weeks since the propeller
Fountain City had a narrow escape
from being burned, on her downward
trip from Buffalo. The Erie Repu6-
zican SAYS: THE particulars of the
case, which we blieve have not been
published, were furnished by a gen.
tleman of this city. 1t appears that
a Mrs. Fannie Lamb, who resides a
short distance from the city OF Chi
cago, took passage for Buffalo, on
board the Fountain City, taking her
daughter Annie, q child twelve years
of age, with her. The day after the
departure ofthe boat, the little girl
going into the kitchen, remarked that
the stove smoked considerable, to
which the cook replied that she was
mistaken. The child had heard her
mother often say that she dreaded
going on a boat for fear of fire. With
this in her mind, and taking another
look at the pleac where tho smoke
seemed to come from, she discovered
that it did not issue ftom the stove.
Going on deck, she discovered the
woodwork around the smoke-stack on
fire, and the flames just eating their
way into the cabin.
Without giving any general alarm,
she went to the steward and told him
the boat was on fire. He Informed
the mate, who called the deck hands
at, and they extinguished the hre
without q Of the passengers being
aware that any thing Of the kind had
occurred. There were twenty two
ladies sitting on deck IN the bow OF
the boat among them the mother Of
Annie, while this was going on. At
ter the work had been done, Annie
went to her mother aud says, Don't
be frightened, mother the boat ha;
been on fire, but it is all over now.
The Captain was so greatly pleased
with the cool, calm and quiet manner
in which the child performed hel
part, that he refunded the passsgt
money of both, and offered to take
them back to Chicago free of charge
1t was a brave act, to say the least
and had she screamed "Firel' as mos
persons would have done, with 81
many ladies on board, the consequen
ces might have been.of very seriou
nature. She deserves a handsom
testimonial Of some kind. Bot
mother and daughter have been visit
ing their friends in this city durinI
the past week, and left for Buffal
Monday night"

Dickens as 3 Reporter.

A large sheet was started at this
period of his life, In which all the i'm
portant speeches of parliament were
to be reported Terb0ttnI for future ref
erence. Dickens was engaged on this
gigantic journal. Mr.. Stanley had
spoken at great length on the condi-
ton of Ireland. 1t was a very long
and eloquent speech, occupying many
hours IN the delivery. Eight report
ers were sent in to do the work. Each
one was required to report three quar-
ters of an hour, then to retire, write
out his portion. and to be succeeded
By the next. Young Dickens was de-
tailed to lead off with the first part.
It also fell to his lot, when the time
came round, to report the closing por-
tons of the speech. On Saturday the
whole was given to the press, and
Dickens al down to the country for
a Sunday $ rest. Sunday morning had
scarcely dawned, when his father, who
was a man of immense energy, made
his appearance in his sons sleeping
room. Mr.. Stanley was so dissatisfied
with what be found in print, except
the beginning and ending of his speech
(iust what Dickens had reported),
that he sent Immediately to the Office
and obtained the sheets Of these parts
of the report. He there found the
name of the reporter, which, accord
ing to custom, was written on the mar
gin. Then he requested that the
young man bearing the name of Dick
ems should be Immediately sent for.
Dickens's father, all aglow with the
prospect Of probable promotion In the
office, went Immediately to his sons
stopping place IN the country and
brought him back to London. In
telling the story, Dickens said: Il re-
member perfectly to this day the as
pect of the room / was shown into,
and the two gentlemen in it, Mr..
Stanley and his father. Both gentle-
men were extremely courteous to me,
but / noted their evident surprise at
the appearance Of so young a man.
While we spoke together, l had taken
a seat extended to me In the middle
Of the room. Nj. Stanley told me he
wished to 90 over the whole speech
and have it written out by me, and if
I were ready he would begin now.
Where would / sit? l told him | was
very we'll where | was. and we could
begin Immediately. He tried to in
duee me to sit at a desk, but at that
time in the House Of Commons there
was nothing but ones knees to write
upon, and 1 had formed the habit of
doing my work In that way. Without
further pause he began and went rap
idly on, hour after hour, to the end,
often becoming very much excited
aud frequently bringing down his
hand with great violence upon the
desk near which he stood."-FrOn

gave up my case, saying that my lett lung
was nearly gone. My cOugh, e~xpectora-
ito ms and night sweats were great. 1 could
not sit up or use my arms, and besides
this, l suffered from piles and extreme te-
male weakness. While L was thus looking

request OF one who had been raised from
a similar condition by lis use. The result
was instant relief, and my health is now
