A reproach to the city government
the carrion which has been allowed TO
remain on Main street, within q few
inches OF the pavement, for the past
three or four days, between Lady and
Gervais streets.
In time, the mulberry tree becomes q
silk gown, and silk gown becomes q
woman.
Why is the tolling of bell like the
praying Of a ahypocrite? Because it is
solemn sound by thoughtless tongue.
Young ladies are now advised not to
put too much oil on the hair, for tho
reason that it is apt % spoil, ncs only
the lapel OF the coat, but also the vest.
Our merchants, and others Wishing to
prepare Tor the fall business, will please
take notice that the PHOENIX Office is
supplied with all necessary material for
as handsome cards, bill heads. posters,
circulars. and other printing that may be
desired, as any Office in the city. Give
us call and test our work.
The Southern gas generator. nov il
use at the PHOENIX Office, is much nd.
mired. It is just the thing for large es-
tablishments; and in country towns is
invaluable.
How pleased surprise it is to see the
miracle OF novel motion in objects that
are usually innnimate. We have seen q
rope walk, note run, watch spring. q
horse fly and Saratoga hop. and next
summer we shall go over the Rookys to
see the Big Trees leave and the Pacific
slope.
House-keepers are always deairous of
being Informed where the best -four can
be obtained. We will impart the infor-
nation. Mesars. J. A. Hendrix & Bro.
are the agents for the popular ''A1azep-
pa" brand, which. mixed with Horsford'e
self-raising bread preparation, furnishes
the very finest biscuits. bread, cakes and
pastry. Try them according to direc-
tions, as we did, and tho result will not
disappoint you.

THE FEDERAL CouRr HousE.-We are
highly gratified at being able to state, ON
mn authoritative source, that work will
soon be commenced on the building to
be erected ut the corner of Main and
Laurel streets, which is to embrace a
Federal court room. post Office, and
Offices for other United States officials,
BY private letter from Mr.. @. n. Bald
win, the disbursing agent, We learn that
no has been positively informed by Mr.
Boutwell,, Secretary OF the Treasury,
and Mr. Mellett, supervising architect,
that the work will be commenced as soon
as the working plans, which are being
revised, have been completed; which, in
oil probability, will be in tho course of
the next six weeks. Quite an improve
mcnt has beon effected on the original
plan. in that the building will be three
stories in height, instead of two, as
formerly designed; and, also. in that
the entire edifce will be OF granite. It
is the intention Of the architect to make
the structure m ornament to the city
and q credit to the Government. We are
pleased to lay this information before
the public, as several rumors have been
put in circulation, indicating m aban-
donment Of the project by the Govern
ment.
