dred cubic yards OF dirt into the city at \
cost Of thirty-dve or forty dollars. This
would bring the cost Of filling down to
from three to three and third cents per
cubic pard Add 10 this the cost of the
dirt where it lies which, under the Llnegar
bills, can be procured at a very reasonable
figure by condemnation proceedings, and it
will probably not reach four cents per Gu
bic yard, A fill of twelve feet in front of
a tifty-foot street would require eight hum
bred and thlrty-three and ne.third yards,
at &c. each would amount to exactly
$3333t and not one iota more We might
90 on at great length giving figures
that would utterly domoralze the doughty
Swamp-angel Of the Argus and his few fol-
lowers, but we will not even attempt to an.
tcipate the more competent gentlemen who
will make things warm at the Opera House

the history of labor strikes in the last thir

country and Europe 2,j4 strikes, lasting in

The police courts were to'eraoIy ouSy
yesterday, In Magistrate OomlhSs court
old Dick Duron was hneo - ana
costs for disorderly conduct ana MAT
lie Davis ana her man were each hheu -
and costs for using bad language ana
fighting. In the case OF the latter the court
took occasion to utter some severe denuncl-
atoms OF the habit so common among ne
eroes Of the lower and middle orders, Of
disregarding the law governing the married
state-"taking new wife every month
without consulting the authorities in such
cases constituted and provided, as the court
plainly put it, But all these structures only
produced smile on the swArthy counter
ances Of the molly crowd gathered in the
court room, and whatever effect they may
have produced upon the consciences, disap-
pesred with the smiles.

the thetts and frauds ana crimes IN eacA
