CROSS WALKs.-It does seem as if little
more attention could be paid to keeping the
cross walks clean in this city. We spend large
sums of money for wooden pavements-a very
good thing in their way-but the cross walks
are pretty generally neglected till two or three
days after storms. We are aware that the fire
had great deal to do with the condition of the
streets, and it is more than ordinarily necessa-
ry that the cross walks should be kept Clean
Cross walks in the upper part of the city which
became sadly fOuled by the rain of Wednesday,
were in the same state on Friday night that
they were on Thanksgiving morning, and of
course the rain of Saturday morning did not
improve their condition. Gentlemen make
complaint enough about The matter, but the
ladies say that it is positively shocking. On
Commercial street, too, after storm, it is al
most impossible to cross without going over
the top of the shoe in soft mud. Business
men from other cities comment upon it. Let
US trust that gangs of workmen will be set at
work upon the cross walks Immediately after
rain, and in sufficient numbers to do the work
quickly and thoroughly.

The Congress s.. Nuisance.

Mr.. EDITOR: noticed an item in the Sun.
day Star which was endorsed, and circulated
broadcast by all the "dailys" which 1 think
does great injustice to seine of our best police
men, and one in particular. The police have
feelings like all other human beings, and Is
would be well for editors to stop and think
little before branding an officer with disgrace.
before his comrades and the community, and
it is often done in this city. 1 know-and have
heard some of our best citizens express the
same opinion-that a more faithful, courteous
and obliging officer does not walk beat in
Portland than the one on Congress street, for
the past year. That street has more passing
on it evenings than any other street, and it is
utterly impossible for one man to keep the
street perfectly clear from Elm to State as he
is unreasonably expected to do from 6 to s
O'Clock in the evening, and it seems little
hard. as the officer expressed it, that a man
who has tried to do his duty faithfully. should
wake up Monday morning and find himself
publicly posted in all the city papers. 1 write
the above in justice to good officer, one who
served his country faithfully for four years,
and won pair Of shoulder straps on the field
of battle, and has served the city no less faith
fully, in the less dangerous position of po-
liceman for two years, and now finds himself
condemned by an ungrateful press

PERSONAL. We learn that Mr.. V. v.
Twitchell, the courteous and reliable book
keeper Of the Portland Daily Advertiser, is
about to leave this city to enter into business
in Atlanta, GA. We merely give honest ex-
preston to our feelings when we say that we
learn of this decision of Mr.. Twitchell's with
regret. From the time when he associated
himself with the paper-in June, 1866, when it
was known as the "Star"-he has earned the
regard ond esteem of all with whom he has
been brought in contact. OF answering hon
esty and prompt in all business matters he
will go to his new home bearing with him the
best wishes for his success, not only Of his jour-
nalistic brethren, but of the large circle of
friends he has made in this city. Mr. Rowell,
late foreman of the Advertiser, takes the place
lett vacant by Mr.. Twtchell and Mr.. Follett,
late night foreman of this Journal-which pc.
sition he has held with faithfulness and ability
almost since its foundation in 1862-will fill
the position vacated by Mr.. Rowell.

OBsEQUIEs.-The funeral of w. H. wo.d
Esq, took place from his late residence On
State street Saturday afternoon. Despite the
disagreeable wealh her the house was crowded
with the business men of the city, as well as
the family and immediate friends of the de-
ceased, to such an extent that large number
were compelled to remain on the sidewalk,
thus showing the high esteem to which the de-
ceased was held in the community. The SER
vices were conducted by Rev. B. H. Bailey,
pastor of the First Parish Church, and were
very appropriate and impressive. The choir Of
the church sang several selections most beau
tifully accompanied by Kotzschmar on the
piano. After the services the remains were
conveyed to Evergreen Cemetery for inter-
ment. The Aged Brotherhood, of which de-
ceased was a member, attended the funeral

WHAT IS VITALITY?- Some philosophers
call it Animal Magnetism, some Nervous
Force, others Caloric, but by whatever name it
may be called, the thing reant is the main
spring of existence, it is tho principle we in
herit, and which may be nourished by proper
attention to thr requirements of the body and
the avoidance of excuses; it is wasted or de-
stroyel by over taxing the mind with study or
anxiety and int mperate indulgences indeed,
it requires an expenditure Of vitality for every
thought or action equal to the magnitude OF
the thought or action. When the body and
the brain are well balanced, the stomach is ca
pable of restoring the waste, but when the
brain is large in proportion, the stomach s. in
capable of supplying it; in other words, the ex-
penditure is too large for the income. Here
lies the cause of SO much suffering from dis
eases of the Heart, Liver and Lungs and Eel
Lows COMPOUND SYRUP OF HYPoPHosPH1rEs
is the only preparation known which imparts
this vitality directly, and consequently the
power to overcome disease.
