Another cheap bargain was effected
in transfer OF property yesterday. Jack
Winter sold his stove store building, 10,
\ blcck IS for si.sOO cash, TO Jno. Nc
Nulty. We think the purchaser has the
thick end Of the stick snd will make good
use Of it. Who's next?
A number Of idle, vsgsbondish, do
nothing eolorei men can be found at any
time, almost on Firth street, between
Washington and Commercial avenues
The smiable Myers will, no doubt, pounce
on number Of them for street workers if
they don't get out. With the above ex-
ception, losfers are scarce. There is
plenty Of work, at good wages, TO be OBJ
,ained in every direction. There is no ex-
cuse for oilers of any color.
On Friday evening last, whilst Mr..
Burnett, hide merchant, was absent one
minute in an inside room, a watch and
chain valued at $50 was stolen from his
store. Owing to Mr.. BIS sudden call to
St. Louis he did net make his loss known
before. We fear it is too late for the po-
lice to work the case up.
In front ., Il poor, lowly shanty on
Poplar street, occupied by a colored fam
lily, we observed a small sprig of flower
ing club moss, rooted in an uncouth box
about three inches square. Surely this
was worth noting, indicating as it did,
that away down in the souls of these
poor people was love of nature,
dumbly striving for utterance in thi. hum
BILE showing,
Between showers, and during business
lulls, some Of the levee clerks may be
seen with their "trowsereen inds eleva-
ted at an exact angle Of forty-fve and a
half degrees above their heads, putting a
Cuban with the majestic air copied from
Khan Of Tartary, during their frequent
interviews with that notable.
Isn't the following beautiful gem by
Celia Burleigh, worthy setting in letters
Of gold
ToA CHILD.
If by any device or knowledge,
| The rosebud its beauty could know
1t would stay rosebud forever,
Nor into its fu!lness grow.
And if thou couldst know thy sweetness.
o little one perfect and sweet.
Thou wouldst be a child forever.
Completer whilst incomplete.
Fred Theobsld has opened branch
barber shop, in Blankenburgs building
corner of Washington avenue and Four
teenth street, convenient to the post-ofiice
He has furnished it in good style, and will
personally superintend it. Those desir-
ing an easy shave, or hair dressed, are ad-
vised to call al Fred's new shop. 1t is
Mr.. Theobald's intention to continue his
down town shop as usual, and while he is
absent at the post-ofiice barber shop, the
Sixth street shop will be under the charge
OF Gus Hime. 7-lStf.
"A correspondent of The BULLETIN,
a few days ago, proposed that asphaltic
pavement or brick should be substituted,
wherever practicable, for the present fast
wearing out planking used for our side
walks. We think the suggestion well
worth consideration :--one that might be
brought up for consideration before the
council. The first step, should the idea of
asphalt be favorably considered, ought to
be, the ascertaining from reliable sources
of the cost, durability, etc, of the asphalt,
which could be easily done by applying to
the corporation of almost any northern
city. If brick should be determined on as
a substitute, the cost durability, etc, can
be ascertained on the spot In using the
latter we should be encouraging home in
dustry, which is matter of some con-
sideration, at any rate.
