writing the streets and houses are covered
with a mantle of white, thicker than we
ever saw it in Memphis. The air is still

rain. We are glad that winter has re-

" Q9lseT, men, gather!'
The recent raius have shown to prac-
teal men how easy it would Re % Keep
the Nicolson pavement perfectly clean.
Let i L6 soeaped enc and the debris
hauled away, and. with two or three
s%weepings weekly, all necessity for water
ing the streets, even in midsummer,
would ba done away with. We would
iHthis connection, suggest a plan tOOur To-
cal authorities by which the streets can he
kept as neat as those of a Dutch city,
which we once visited. Let the corporate
authorities clean tie streets paved with
the NicolsOn, thoroughly once, Then let
an ordinance be passed compelling every
tenant or owner Of residence, store, ware
house or other building fronting on the
streets, TO sweep the pavement in front of
their place of business or residence, clean
every day, putting the "sweepings in
plies convenient for the garbage carts,
which should come around at ieaat three
times a week to carry them away. In this

-HUrlbgt, the Roman correspondent of
the New York Ford, in an interesting
account of a race near the Campagua, at
tended by the Empress of Austria, says:

she rode easily and well, and her face, as
she galloped past us, beamed with a pleas
ant light Unnatural, womanly excitement.
She was escorted by four cavaliers in sosr-
let coats, the flower of the fOE-hunting
Roman equestrian osdsf. The sun broke
through the clouds finally and trium-
phantiY, as If to do her honor, and, as the
long line of riders disappeared in the soft
purple distance of the Campagna, the day,
which had begun as gytNiy as a dialectic
sermon. took on the light and color of a
song. 1t seems, however, that no fox was
killed; so that her Majesty had 70 chance
of carrying of his brush. The honors of
the field were conceded by her, as l am
informed, to n of u wi fair country
women-Miss Polk. Of Ternessee-whose
