Clear the Sidewalks.

Mr.. Editor-I call for the enforcement OF
the ordinances of the city and the vindication
of the rights of the public in the matter of
sidewalks clear of merchandise, horseposts,
sign-posts and other dsfgurements and OBJ
structions In particular the fruit dealers
should no longer be permitted to block up over
one-third the width of the sidewalk with their
goods, and to do, as is now the case with many
of them, nine-tenths their trade on the public
pavement The sewing machine vendors with
their bulletin boards, should be put in doors
along With the fruit dealers. Some of the pro-
vision shops outrage all decency in the amount
of space stolen from the public convenience for
their own purposes. So with other classes of
dealers Now, whose business is it to put
stop to this? Somebody is paid to prevent such
abuses 1t is no excuse that the evils are of
long standing. They are gross annoyances.
The public, aside from the offenders are a unit
for their abolition. Sidewalks cleaned from
one end OF the town to the other of all such i'm
pediments, would be hailed with satisfaction.
Mr. Mayor, or Mr.. Marshal, whosever business
1t is, the public ask you to take hold of this
matter at once and put it through to the proper
lSSae. r

WAsHINGToN Sept 4-Efforts are being
made to-day by the chief of police to discover
the mutilators of the body of '.Bean Hickman"
which soon after its interment in the potter S
field was exhumed, the legs disjointed at the
hips, the head severed from the trunk and
skinned, the viscera taken out and removed,

found in the bushes near by wrapped in news"
paper. A dissecting ivory-handled knife was
found in the vicinity. From appearances it is
thought that the parties were frightened from
their work before they had completed their
plans. Some benevolent gentleman had made
arrangements to give the body decent burial
in the Congressional Cemetery, and on the I'M
dertakers going to the potter's field to remove
it, the sickening mutllation was first discovered
The remains however were collected and plac-
ed in a new coffin and inferred in the cemetary.

A CONVENIENT AFFAIR, We have just been
shown an improvement on the usual bill hold
er or file recently made by w. A. Quincy, the
wellSknown book binder in Printers Exchange,
which will commend itself to those who have
to carry large number of papers or desire to
keep them alphabetically arranged. 1t consists
of an extension or arrangement so as to arrange
bills or papers in the file in alphabetical order
and also better preserve them. 1t has been
highly commended by those who have seen it.
and we are glad to learn that Mr., Quincy has
had some flattering offers in connection with
his invention. He has applied for patent and
when ready will doubtless put the new article
into the market. We hope that he will have
