TIE sidewalks in different parts Of the
city are in wretched condition. At some
points they are broken down and the floor

broken and rotten, and in hundred places
the railing is missing, or il in an unsafe
condition. A few thousand feet of lumber
and half dozen kegs of nails will supply
all the material needed to make all needed
repairs, and there are dozens of men Of
families in the city-prcpcrty owners and
tax payers, who would be glad to perform
the work at very moderate rate Of COM

In such an unsafe condition are the side
walks at some points, that residents of the
neighborhood are afraid to pass over them,
and actually threaten, if the needed re-

An Incident Of The Late War.

A clergyman in Lexington, Virginia,
who served as chaplain in the Confeder
ate army, from the beginning to the end
of the late civil war, sends Us an account
Of the following strunge incident, which,
he assures Us. may be depended On as
strictly true:
Among the Confcdcrates wounded at
the battle of Antietnm, who iel! into the
hands Of the Union forces, was a young
private OF good family named p,
from the mountain region of Virginia.
He was q boy at school when the war
broke out, and abandoned his studies
to shoulder mu. ket in the nrmy of Gen.
Lee. lie was shot through the lungs at
Antietam, and, after lying for long
time on the field, was carried to Union
hospital, and tenderly cared for by
Maryland surgeon attached to the North.
ern army, under whose skill fol treatment
the young Virginian soon became con-
vale.cent. The AInrylander conceived u
strong liking for his patient, and, procur-
ing his release on parole, took him TO -
own house, where he remained in con fort
and security until he was exchanged,
when he returned to the Confederate
army.
Some tire later in the war, the Mary
land surgeon, while with his regiment in
Virginia, got separted from his comrades.
and, being cut of from rejoining them by
EarIy's cavalry, took to the woods to
avoid capture, and wandered for several
days among the forests and mountains.
until he became utterly exhausted with
fatigue and hunger. In this desperate
strait, he resolved TO apply for help at the
first house be should come to. even at the
risk of being arrested and consigned to u
rebel prison. He soon reached the dwell
ing Of the better class in which he found
an intelligent looking lady and several
small children.
He made himself known as surgeon
in the Union army, and asked for food
and shelter. The lady replied that Fed
eral surgeon had been very kind to Ter
son while prisoner OF war, and for his
sake she would do what she could for the
stranger. This remark led to mutual in
qurics and explanations. from which the
Marylandcr learned that the house to
which he had thus accidentally wandered
was the homo Of young p. his pa.
tient from the field Of Antietam | 1t
may easily be imagined that he was
warmly welcomed to its hosptalitics, and
provided in due time with the means Of
regainin" the Union lines in safety. .-Ap.

"Seeing the E!ephaDt."

A couple of lads in Portage City, Wis,
climbed . tree outside the tent to get u
"dead head" view Of Forepaugh's circus.
AS soon us the elephant was through with
the ring, the manager brought him out
and hitched him to the identical tree from
the limbs of which the lads were viewing
the circus. 10 "a boy up a tree" this
thing looked little out Of order but
they kept as quiet rs death, fearing that
they would either lose the closing views
Of the performance, or be the subjects of
the displeasnre OF the circus man, if he
should discover them "dead heading" it
in his show. In due time the perform
ance closed, the crowd dispersed, aud
horror up N horrors, the keeper Of tie
animals now added to the pe,ils of their
situation by hitching two smaller ele-
plants and camel to the same tree. Our
lads now discovered that they were IN TOR
night Of il, as all hands had left, ex-
cepting only themselves and tie animals
on guard below. All hope of escape was
now cut of. About this time the Romeo
conc Guided to investigate matters about
him, and with his trunk commenced
trimming out the smaller branches.
Our boys commenced climbing also, until
they had got above his reach and now
the camel took up the investigation, and
poking his ubly mug up among the limbs,
he drove the boys to the very uppermost
branches Of the tree, where they we're
discovered at day break, by their anx,ou.
parents, who had been searching for them
in vain all night, teeteripg and tossed
abont like black birds on the top Of q
rice.stalk on . windy day. The boys
saw more OF these animals thsn oil the
rest Of the boys in town, and all "for
nothin," too; and If they don't remem-
Der the time for .he balance Of their nat.
ursl days when they "sat up" with Ro-
mco, then We miss our guess. The phrase
seeing the elephant" had to them u
practical application which they will al.
ways remember.
