Ice on THE SlDEwALKs.-Thc dangerous
condition of many portions Of the sidewalks in
different quarters Of the city-made so by per-
sons allowing their hydrants to run 10 order to
keep the water in them from freezing -has
becu commented upon frequently in these col
ums. What was forcseen has occurred. Las.
evening Mrs. George Price, an elderly lady.
while walking along King street, slipped 90
the ice that had formed on the pavement be-
tween Pitt and ST Asaph streets, 'and falling.
broke her leg between the ankle and knee joints.
She was taken home in hack, the necessary
surgical assistance rendered by DR.. Brown, AMI
this morning, she was said to be lii favorable
condition. There are provisions in the ordi-
nacrs of the Corporation against the cause of
this accident, and they should be cntcrced. The
wonder is that more injuries Of the same sort
did not occur during the past winter, when for
weeks at a time certain portions of the side
walks were almost impossible.

The st. Louis Democrat says OF the steal :
We record with great pleasure the fact that
Senator Schurz refused to receive the s5, 900
OF back pay voted by the last Congress-; and
with equal pleasure we record similar fact in
favor Of Vice President Wilson. But we con-
fess to more concern for the future than for
the past OF this increased pay. When all is
told about the money refunded, 1t makes an
honorable record for those who refunded, but
it only reduces by tri1e the amount Of q
steal which will at any rate foot up OIL, 500, 900.
Let those who have got the money keep it,
and much good may it do them. We object,
however, to having the steal repeated by every
future Congress, and therefore we insist upon
agitating the question Of repeal az an Issue IN
all future campaigns until accomplished. Mr.,
Erastus Wells, member from the Second Dis
trict OF this city, promises to introduce bill
on the first day OF the December session to re-
establish the old rale Of IS, 900 per annum. BY
so doing he will enttle himself to the applause
OF the country, and the men who vote against
him may bid farewell to public life."

left Chicago for this point stopped over one
day in Omaha, thon on to Salt Lake-remained
there two days-then to this point, where we
arrived Friday evening last, all well, but dirty
and ured. Found our friends well, and q
climate vegetables, etc., just as We have the
last OF June.
Our irp thus far has been very pleasant
nothing at all to annoy US, and we have enjoyed
the scenery and visits of various points beyond
description. was very much taken with Salt
Lake, its location, all OF it's surroundings, and
especially its business and the fine prospect
for the future so mnch 80, that could / have

man knew in Saginaw. They all say there is
the point; and Its mining, agricultural and other
industries haven't commenced. That is also
the opinion OF Californians and others who are
posted that met. Were a young man there

of the american Continent. There is, / am
told by travellers, no other such a place for a
man to live in as San Jose. Elegant buildings,
street railroads, and everything that is in this
world to live for or enjoy can be had here but

OF our friends are anxious We should look it
over well for them. then we shall make stop
or two IN Kansas and Iowa, and get home when
we get a good ready.
am not at all sorry We came, or regret the
money it costs visiting the West, and who
knows but what we may yet reside somewhere
in this country. The fact is all the comforts
are as plenty here as East, and no more ex-
psnsive, and by judicious management, with
little money, any man Of ordinary ability and
perseverance, can make investments to far
better advantage than at home.
When 1 commenced this letter l only in
tended to just tell you we were here and well,
thinking YOU and our Paw Paw friends would
like 10 hear that much from us, but made
mistake and have written 9 long letter. Re-
member us to ell our friends and our love TO
YOU and family. Truly Yours

The following passage in a sermon by a
Bavaran priest. is copied from foreign
paper. 1t may be read in connection with the
recent pastoral by Bishop Gilmour, Of Cleve-
land;
"We, the priests, are as high above the
governments, emperors, kings and princes Of
this world, as the heavens are above the
earth. Kings and princes Of this world are
as much beneath Us as lead, compared to the
finest, purest gold. Angels and archangels
are far beneath the priests, for we can for
give sins as God Himself, which faculty, an
gels and archangels never possessed. We
stand above the Mother OF God, for she has
given birth to Christ only once; we priests pro-
due, and create HIM every day-yea, the
priests may he said TO stand above God Him
self, because he must be at their service at
all hours, and in all places and at our bidding,
n the conservation, IN every mass. He must
come down from his heavens. God has crea-
ted the world with the words Let there be, ,
but we priests make God Himself with three
words. Therefore, IN those times, when faith
and Christianity still existed, the priest was
held in highest honor. The people, yea, the
emperors and kings, have thrown themselves
down before him, and have kissed the sol,
where he had planted or imprinted his foot"

BRINGING voters to the polls in wheelbarrow
Is quite novel idea, but such was the case
here on election day. Mr.. VIM. Hoyt, one OF
Burnhsm Il Hydes machinists. manifested in
difference about voting, but finally said that
be would quit work and go to the polls IL he
could get ride, whereupon Mr.. j. y. Parrish,
fellow-workman, offered to take him there
in a wheelbarrow. The proposition was ac-
cepted, and the voter was as good as his word.
