DIsGRAcEFUL.-The condition of York
street between 9th and Main is disgrace
to any city in the world, excepting per-
haps Constantinople. Ever since last
November when our sapient city fathers
took it into their heads to have that
street altered to the new grade, it has
been almost impossible. " hose business
is it, to see that the street is put in the
shape it ought to be? Where is the
Street Commissioner of the 4th Ward 2
Why has the street not been finished ?
Other streets are being graded and fin
ished all the time. Why is not York
street? We intend agitating this matter
every week until somebody whose bust
ness it is, is walked up fully. The city
should prosecute the contractor for not
doing the work and make him pay
handsome sum in damages if he is re-
sponsible. Any court or jury would give
the city heavy damages 10 case of that
kind. 81

WE are sorry to have to notice the
death and burial of THEODORE the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Hartman, of our
city, at the age of IA year. last Monday
night. His sudden death was caused by
taking a bath while in high state Of
perspiration, bringing on such severe
prostration of the nervous system, that
all efforts of our physicians proved en-
tirely unavailing He was buried yester-
day morning, and the funeral procession
was one of the largest we have ever wit
messed. The bereaved parents have the
most heartfelt sympathy of large cir
Gle of friends and acquaintance.

AN old lady of nearly eighty years of
age. the mother of Mrs. Beck, living on
the corner of Main and Park St., was
struck with the deranged idea that she
was pursued by an innumerable host of

on shore, and to the nearest dwelling,
where sufficient help was soon raised to

FIRE.-The discovery of fire on a
two story frame building on Franklin
street, near the lake, about twelve clock
last Friday night, caused an alarm and a
hurried response by the fire department.
The fire originated in some unaccounta-
Die manner. The building was owned by
Mr.. Brink (who is now in Germany and
was totally consumed We understand
The building was heavily insured. Our
gallant 6remen we're on the spot, but the
fire having SO far got the start of them,
that an attempt to put it out was use
less their time was mostly occupied in
preventing the fire from spreading to the
adjoining buildings.

OUR TRIP TO CHICAGO.

Having lust returned from flying
trip to Chicago, to bring back a sick
daughter, we hope to be kindly excused
for any shortcomings in this issue. We
left home on the Saturday night boat,
the good steamer Manitoacoc, and reach
ed Milwaukee after rather rough pas
sage Sunday afternoon, where we met
our Commodore and many of our good
mechanics, now employed on the new
steamer Nuskegon, among them MIR.
Johnson these artisans of ours Will
bring out the Muskegon 1.-THE model
steamer of the lakes" the splendid
"ISheboygan" even not excepted con-
tinuing our trip in the evening, we
awoke in Chicago early next morning,
without a smell of the river, which is
now really an outlet of Lake Michigan
and the water as pure as that in the mid
die of the Lake.
This changing of the current of a
whole river from east to west, is an
achievement probably never before I'M
dertaken on this continent, and has
proved splendid success Kenosha
folks may say dam it as much as they
please, we hope it may flow. as now, for
ever. Chicago is constantly improving,
although of course not as rapidly as for
merly, but there is much complaint about
the fearful increase of the taxes !; riding
along the streets we noticed many signs
on houses and fences: ''this property for
sale" which seemed TO US rather a bad
"sign" for that city We also bought
"mora type" from that excellent house,
Messrs Marder, Luce & Co., where we
made the personal acquaintance of Mr..
Luce one Of the proprietors and ''gen-
tleman" in the highest sense.
Our nephew "Jule" well known to
many of our young folks who went to
Mr., Bacon school," gave US most hear
ty Welcome we found him well situated
with young wife beautiful and accom-
ylished in every respect {; his aged, but
still hearty mother, and his sister Mary
now Mrs Mason, with her genial hus-
band and their sweet little babe" all in
one ''happy family" julie and Mary
send their love to all their friends here !;
julie especially to Mr. Bacon, to whose
kind care and instructions he acknowl-
edges to owe all he has since accomplish
ed, being now acknowledged one of the
best Pharmaceutists in Chicago.
Finding our daughter mo better and
anxious to see her loved ones at home,
we took her with US on board the ,Sheb0y-
gan where we were both met with the
utmost kindness and care by Mr.. Thomp-
son the model clerk Of the Goodrich
Line, who with the gentlemanly Captain
and most accommodating Steward, made
that splendid steamer a temporary pleas
ant home even for sick companion.
We reached home just IN time to bid
Good bye" and harty God bless you
to our son, John 3. Miller on his return
to Memphis, Tenn, and went ''into the
harness again to resume our editorial
duties with renewed vigor and still strong
err desire to do ''some good while in this
very laborious but little remunerating
occupation.

If cat doth meet cat
Upon the garden wall,
And if cat doth greet a cat
Oh, why need they both squalli
Every Tommy has his Tabby
Waiting on the wall,
And yet he welcomes her approach
BY an unearthy yawl.
And if kitten wish to court
Upon the garden wall
Why don't he sit and sweetly smile,
And not stand up aud bawl,
And lift his precious back up high,
And show his teeth and moan,
As if t'were collie more than love,
That made that fellow groan.
