There ought to be more rigid enforce

left standing on the streets without hitching.
Yesterday a GLOBE reporter noticed high
spirited horse standing unhitched on Third,
near the corner of jackson. After standing a
few minutes the horse began to get uneasy,
first walking step or two, then looking
ing back, and again starting forward. This
was continued for the space of about minute,
when he started into trot, and would IN
doubtedly soon have been in mad run up the
crowded street had not the reporter seized
him by the head and stopped him. There is
no excuse for such criminal violation of the
laws, and those doing SO should be severely

An Interesting Review Of the Merits Of the
Different Plans Tried In Pittsburgh, Pa.
The question as to the best material to be
used in paving our streets, economy, smooth
ness, durability, etc., all considered, is one
that is exciting much thought among our
people, both officials and private citizens,
from the fact that the time has
arrived when some system has
got to be decided and put into use. In the
thought that the experience Of the city OF
Pittsburg, Pa, might be OF service to st..
Paul in reaching wise conclusion in the mat
ter. Mr.. Springer Harbaugh, former citi-
zen of that city, but now q resident Of st.
Paul and large land owner in the Red River
valley, in addition to large interests in st,
Paul and elsewhere in the state, received from
A. Demster, city engineer for many years
of Pittsburg, letter giving q
resume of the paving operations Of that city,
cost, and advantages of each as shown by re-
suits there, which letter Mr.. Harbaugh yes
terday forwarded to Mayor Rice, by whom the
GLOBE reporter was permitted to make copy,
as follows:

1t seems strange that any one will
suffer from arrangements brought on
by impure blood, when Scoyills' Sar-
saparilla and Stillingia, orBlood and
Liver Syrup, will restore health. 1t
is the best blood purifier ever discov-
cred, effectually curing scroiula, syph-
ilitic disorders, weakness of the kid
neys, erysipelas, malaria; all nervous
disorders and debility, bilious com
plants, diseases of the blood, liver,
kidneys, stomach, skin, etc 1t cor
rects indigestion. A single bottle will
prove to you its merits as a health
renewer, for it acts like a charm.

The President continues to improve
slightly and is more than holding his
own. Hope is reviving at Washington
and all over the country. 1t is de-
voutly to be hoped that he may con
tinTe to gain strength and be merciful,
ly preserved to his family, his friends
and sympathizing countrymen. His
case illustrates that Providence moves
in a mysterious way. Hope and
fear, confdeace and dispair,
have alternated in the hearts
and minds of all who have tried to
keep posted as to the condition Of the
President When first shot and it
was given out that the ball had passed
through his liver and bowels the be, t
informed minds decided that it was
necessarily mortal wound. At the
end of three days he seemed to be on
gaining ground and everybody jumped
to the conclusion that he had not
been so badly wounded after all.
Favorable bulletins came re yularly
for weeks, and anxiety was well nigh
relaxed, until news began to exc cut
that he was not doing SO WE'LL that
incisions were necessary, and that
blood poisoning was threatened, and
that crisis was at hand. Then the
solicitude Of the great mass Of the
people took more tender form, Ev
cry heart stood still. All excitement
was gone, and evea the assassin for
the hour was forgotten-the all-per-
vading feeling was one Of sympathy
and prayeriul anxiety for the recOV-
cry of the nations first citizen, the
President. At last the doctors who
had sent out so many colored
reports acknowledged that they could
do no more; that the patient was be-
yon0 the help of man. For a day or
two a deep gloom settled over the
land. Every hour it was expected
that the end would be announced
Affection, skill and science all were
baffled and stood back to view the
end of the long, weary struggle for
lie. Death could be felt in that
chamber as a visible, tangible
presence, when human aid was feeble
and men acknowledged his weakness
and helplessness, light and hope came
from a higher source, a change came
for the better when science said it was
impossible. This may not be mira
Gle, but it is near like one as the peo-
ple of the nineteenth century expect
to see. Light has dawned where all
was darkness, the President lives at
Washington, and God rules above

IT is very bad state of affairs in
any community, when the boys, white
and black, get beyond the control of
their parents, and yet are hardly con
sidered big enough to be brought un
der the restraints of the police. The
neighborhood of the Christian church
on Linden street, IS infested with a
very reckless, low down set of negro
boys, whose nightly rows and bravado
seems to have a wonderful fascination
for other boys, both white and black,
who are not so bad naturally, but
readily follow such leadership. 1t is
to be hoped that Captain Davis will
pay special attention to this crowd,
and break it up root and branch, be-
fore something worse happens. The
street Arab can be made good citi-
zen, yet it is an easy matter for him
to glide into the path Of the tramp,
the burglar, the loafer, drunkard or
desperate criminal.

JAMES TRIP.
The POStmasfer-G Generals Hasty
Run 20 New YOrlk---Newspaper
Men Puzzled.

Special Courier-Journal.l
WASHINGTON, August 28.-Post-
master General James is now the OBJ
jsct of devoted attention from the
newspaper correspondents. He has
given them puzzle, and they have
been worrying over it all day. Mr..
James left Washington on the 2:10
train yesterday afternoon, arriving in
New York at 10 o'clock pm; he left
New York at midnight, and reached
Washington at 7:40 this morning. He
has been approached frequently during
the day, but declines to talk about the
object of his hasty visit, except to say
that it was on private business. A
gentleman who came over on the same
train with Mr.. James says that on his
arrival in New York last night, MIR.
James was met by Postmaster Pear
son, and drove directly to the residence
of Vice President Arthur, where he
remained less than half an hour, when
he returned to the depot at jersey
City, just in time to board the mid
night train for Washington. There
are several rumors here as to the OBJ
ject Of this visit. One is that Mr..
James carried a message from the
Cabinet to the Vice President
relative to calling an extra
session of Congress in case OF
the death of the President. Another
story is that the object Of the visit was
to consult the Vice President relative
to taking temporary charge of the
government in case the President i'm
proves sufficient to render it safe to
remove him from Washington.
Neither of the rnmors can be verified,
for the reasons stated above. 1t is
understood to he the intention of the
doctors to move the President from
the Executive Mansion the first mo-
ment it is safe to do SO. 1t is prob.
able they will take him down the river
until he is strong enough to bear the
trip to Mentor.

LONDON, August 30.-Parnell at
tended two meetings Monday in sup
port of Rylett, Land League can
didate for county Tyrone. He deliv.
cred his usual violent speeches.
A Dublin correspondent writes that
the landlords view with alarm the ap-
pointment of John Given as Assistant
Commissioner under the Land Act.
They declare Given is pronounced
partisan of the Tenant Right.
The Ballinmena Tenant Right AS
sociation passed resolution, declar-
ing that Parnell's attempt to force the
Land League candidate on the elect
ors of Tyrone county is impolitic aud
mischievous and will cause disunion
among the Liberal and Tenant Right
voters, thereby doing gross injury to
Dickson, Liberal candidate, who has
proved himself true Irishman.
At the London Central noon prayer
meeting yesterday, special prayers
were made for President Garfield.
More forest fires are reported from
different parts of Algeria. Twelve
hundred hectares of forest are ablaze
near Algiers. 1t is stated that many
natives have been burned in the woods
of Colo, Province of Constantine.
A dispatch from Tunis says that
Ronstan. the French Minister, has
taken leave of the heir apparent, prior
to his departure for Paris. The latter
expressed himself in the most friend
ly terms toward France, and said that
the Tunisian military authorities were
at the disposal Of the French.
A Paris correspondent says there is
reason to believe that Gambetta's s ac-
ceptance of the Premiership is now
being demanded with increased EN-
phasis by almost the entire Left. 1t
will be conditional on the fusion of
the various groups of the Left or at
least of the two principal ones, pure
and advanced Lett. All speculation
regarding composition Of the Cabinet,
are however, premature.

best ranged as high as $35; others less,

were realized for Shropshires, which
are becoming very popular with

down at least 40 per cent, and pre-

ATLANTA, GA, August 27.-At a
meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
this afternoon resolutions were passed
reciting Atlanta's deep interest in the
pending lease of the Cincinnati South
ern railroad, and urging the accept
ance Of the bid made by Colonel Cole,
if the authorities could 6nd it to their
interest. The resolutions show that
this is the only hope of competition
powerful enough to stand permanently
against the Louisville and Nashville,
and give to the South and Southeast
Georgia separate lines to the West,
and that the incorporation Of
the Cincinnati Southern railroad into
the Cole system, covering 1400 mil les
of road, and penetrating every section
of the South would put Cincinnati and
Georgia in close and permanent rela-
tions. A strong delegation, headed
by the Mayor and the President of the
Chamber Of Commerce, and leading
citizens appointed by the meeting will
leave for Cincinnati to morrow after
noon at 3o'clock, to lay the views of
Georgia before the authorities who
have the right to lease the road. The
delegation will be Joined here by the
Mayor of Macon and leading citizens of
that city and Augusta, and the party
will reach Cincinnati Monday morn
ing, when they wish to be heard by
