THE BRooK-AvENUE IMPROVEMENT
One Of the grandest improvements ever
projected in the city has just been CON-
pleted. 1t is the paving Of Brook avenue
from Broad street to the corporate limits.
An excellent sidewalk has also been laid,
and the avenue has been widened in some
places. 1t is expected that the entire route
will be ready for travel on and after to-day.
Saturday night the ayenu, from Broad to
Marshall street was blockaded. Around
Adams and Broad streets, and from Adams
to Marshall street it may be some days before
the streets will be clean. The people Of that
section OF the city are justly proud OF their
great Improvement. No money spent in
Richmond in the last quarter OF century
has been more iudiciously expended than
the amount laid out in the Improvement OF
this great thoroughfare.

DEFERRED ARTICLES.

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for February is al,
ready on our table, aud more than maintains
the popularity of this uurivalled lady's book.
We thought the steel engravings in the JAN
uary number could not bo excelled, but the
principal one for February, "The Challenge
representing n,ischievous girl about to throw
now>ball, is, by all odds, one of the best
that has appeared, anywhere, for years. The
stories are even better than usual, and this is
saying the most that can be said. ''Her
Creditor" by Frank, Lee Benedict, is very
powerful; SO also is 1.-The November Night"
There are about fifty wood engravings of the
latest styles in fashions, of patterns for the
work table, etc, etc, besides the usual
double-sizs colored steelplate of the late Paris
fashions. Ifyou have not subscribed already,

The truth is, an editor cannot step without
treading on somebody's toes. If he expresses
opinions fearlessly and frankly. he is arrogant
and presumptuous. If he states facts with

A GRocER's GIFT TO HIS PREACHER
A Coviugton, Ky, correspondent tells this /:
"a country merchant visited the city few
days ago, aud going to Cincinnati, purchased
from dollar store table castor, which he
took home with him, and after putting
tag on it marked 'Sl4' made it a present to
Methods, preacher, whose church his family
attended. The reverend gentleman took the
package home, opened il, and examined the
contents. The next day he brought the cas-
tor Cwith tag attached) back to the grocery
man, and said to him L am too poor in this
worlds goods to afford to display SO valuable
castor on my table, and if you have no objec-
ton [ should like to return it and take Sl4
worth of groceries for my family in its stead
The merchant could do nothing but acquiesce,
but fancy his feelings"
