IMPRovEMENTs.-Iti is always pleas re to
note an improvement, whether it be by a public
officer or a private citizen, and especially
the community at large. For long time
past the crossings of the streets, in most cas-
es, have been nuisances, aud have been tie
clared so by public opinion. There has been
money enough spent on them in re-laying, to
have paid for good substantial crossings, which
would have been an honor to our city, and
credit to those in charge of the work We
are glad to see that at last there is some hope
of reform. At the corner of Union and Dele
van sts., where there has been for years one
of those traps which every team-driver, every
farmer, every merchant, and especially the
latter class,-have dreaded because if they
were delivering a load of goods to their Gus
toners there were ten chances TO one that in
crossing the gutter at this point things would
become mixed, molasses would flow with kero-
sene oil, vinegar and sugar would combine,
eggs would be no longer whole, and the store
boy il he did not say bad words, would GER
tainiy looL cross. Now there is a new cross
ing laid, and it is made large enough to allow
the water to pass under the stone crossing,
thus making the street nearly level, as it
ought to be, and doing away with the ditch as
before. This is feather in the cup of the
Street Commissioner and those having streets
in charge, and should receive the thanks of
all who travel by aid of horse and carriage.
There are other crossings in this city which
need the same attention and it is hoped that
they will get if before the winter sets in. No
one should complain when the public money
is expended in peeded reform like the one
we have mentioned, and yet there are those
who would grumble if they were going to be
hung. But our city officers had better be
censured for doing good thing than bad
\ one.

by obtaining free access to the oat-b bin; but
his recreation was Of short duration. Mr.

Tn a communication addressed to
the Revue Horticole the writer states
that he purchased very fine rosebush,

pointed when this took place to find
the flowers small, Insignificant in APP
pearance, and of dull, faded color.
melted by the suggestion of friend,
he then tried the experiment OF filling
in the top around the bush, to the
depth of half an inch, which finely
pulverized stone coal. In the course
of a. few days he was very much
astonished at seeing the roses assume
a beautiful red hue, as brilliant as he
could desire. He tried the same ex--
pertinent upon pot of petunias, and
soon after the pale and indefinite ones
became of bright red or lilac, and the
white petunias were variegated with
beautiful red stripes. Some OF the lilac
petunias became dark blue. other
flowers experienced similar altera-
tions; those of yellow color alone re-
manned insensible to the influence or
the coal.

CHICAGO, Jan. 80.
Washington special to the Chicago
Times says when the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House is next called an
important bill will be reported, the OBJ
ject of which is to regulate relations
between the Government and the Pa
cific Railroads. 1t is well known that
these Companies are in default of pay
ment of interest to the Government to
the amount of several millions of dol
lars.
Luttrell has already introduced
bill authorizing and requiring the At
torney-G General to bring suits against
the Companies, to obtain this money.
Crounz, of Nebraska, has introduced
bill to declare all lands granted to
Railroad Companies liable to State
taxation.
Wilson, of Indiana, introduced last
Monday bill amending the Pacific
Railroad Act Of 1864 so as to compel
the Union Pacific Company and its
branches to charge uniform rates for
freights and passengers per mile,
whether local or through traffic. The
bill makes it unlawful for any officers
or agents Of the Companies to grant
special rate privileges or drawback, or
to discriminate in any way in the
transaction of business. All these
provisions are to be combined in one
bill, which the Judiciary Committee
will report noxt week, and which will
undoubtedly become law.

BEYOND JORDAN.

And they came to Him, mothers ofJudah,
Dark-eyed, and In splendor OF hair,
Bearing down over shoulders of beauty,
And bosoms halfhidden, half bare;
And they brought Him their babes and be-
sought Him,
Half kneeling, with suplant air,
To bless the brown cherubs they brought Him,
With holy hands laid in their hair.
Then reaching His hands, He said, lowly,
"Of such is my kingdom;' and then
Took the brown little babes In the holy
White hands OF the Saviour of men;
Held them close TO His heart and caressed
them,
Put his face down to theirs as in prayer,
Put their hands on His neck, and so blessed
them,
With baby hands hid in His hair.
