ancc 10 us may, however, be owing 10 our
exalted imagination, which had pictured
the whole vacant space between the Court
House and Lake s. GirarGeau's Store, filed
up with magnificent structure OF three or
four stories, with fire engine and hose de-
oart!ncn., council hall, offices, reading
rooms, iyceum, calaboose, and other edu-
cational establishments. Well, there is no
thing spoiled. The unoccupieG space wont
be stolen, and remains for future use. Rome
was no: built in one day, although Hamburg
was; but then Rome is still alive, and Ham
burg-wierc is she?

become the famous band Of the State. They
performed at Greenwood on last Thursday,
10 the great delight Of the assembled thou
sands. We hope that they will become
permanent institution. Professor OlleTer
deserves praise for having in so short
time brought them up to such state OF
proficiency. They cannot, however, sleep
on bed Of roses: the Independents are en-
dowed with marvellous perseverance; and
practice, as is we'll known, makes perfect.
The colored band, led by their interchangeable
maestro-Prof. DaviS-are making rapid
progress, and having some members Of ex-
celent musical talent, will be formidable RI
walls. Let the rivalry be Z friendly one, and
let the big horn look TO mis- laurels. Police
man G. is fi4e tooter, and not to be
sneezed at. A cornet is about tine best use
brass can be put to, and the taking Of horns
Of brass may keep some Of our young mca
from taking too many horns of--Tye.
The Puppy" SCEURz.-We are inform
ed that at a political meeting last - night
Judge IIoge spoke of Senator Schurz as
red-whiskcred Dutch puppy. AS to the cred
whiskered" we would remark that there is
no accounting for tastes; the Editor feels a
little toucby on the subject, and therefore
ventures no further obse, rationS. Let tine
Dutch pass for snarI; but as to the puppy
part we would say that tue self,same puppy
has barked so loudly and effectively as to
arouse the whole household (the american
people, 50 as to have them fully prepared to
keep robbers and thieves away from their
premises. 1t is even believed by some peo-
pie, that the self-Same puppy once or twice
snapped successfully at tine Chiefs calves,
and made the blood come, not to speak of
the damage done to his neither garments.
If the puppy" has shown himself so staunch
what MAJ not be expected from the full
grown dog?
We would add that the co,ored band,
doubtless overcome by the heat and the
eolemnity of the occasion, did not perform
quite so well as usual. Still, the sensible
men and all the women considered that por-
ton of the programme the better part of the
performance.
Hot! HoT!! Hor!!!-Well! hot is nc
name for it, Our thermometer has burst
and boiled over, and we have to so by oul
individual feelings, which said feelings indi
cate several degrees above zero. We mad 1T

The Sons OF TEAPERAECE.-We we.
