Tor repairs on Eighth street where the street
railway company abandoned their track between
Sloley and Locust streets. This track was aban-
ooned and the rails taken up, leaving the
strlngers and ties in the ground, making it
necessary to re-surface the street.
The large quantity of mud constantly being
dragged In from unpaved cross streets makes it
impossible to clean the paved streets by sweepinc
so that we are forced to depend entirely upon
scraplng oil the mud with hoes, which at the best
Is but makeshift as it only removes portion of
the dirt. Even in this we are greatly bothered

necessary to even partially clean the pavement
that the dirt should be well wetted, and having
no control of the sprinkling CARTS we ere fire.
quently Obliged to depend upon the rain for the
necessary wetting to admit of its being scraped
OFF.
Another difficulty which adds considerably to
the expense is that the men employed in scrap
ing the streets are constantly being driven from
their work by passing teams This can be OBJ
waited by doing the work at night, provided we
can arrange to have the streets sufficiently wet
at the proper time.
With the increased area of paved streets,
when these now under contract are COM
pleted, l am of the opinion that il
would be desirable next season to experiment
with sweeping machine. BY the use of
sweeping machine, which can only be used on q
comparatively dry street, the streets can be
cleaned between IL o'clock at night and O'Clock
in the morning, and so cleaned as to REQUIRE
much less sprinkling during the day. and by
preventing their being, sprinkled late in the
afternoon or evening they would, by IL O'Clock,
except in case of rain, be in proper condition for
sweeping, resulting, 1 think, in considerable
saving in cost and doing away with the mud now
ever presento on our best cleaned streets.
Our labor reports for the month show total OF
20,93l days labor of men. and AHA days labor
of teams. The highest number at work on any
one day being on the sSth of the month, consist
ing OF sos men and 211 teams. Notwithstanding
the fact that there has been considerable rair
during the month our reports show that wori
has been done each day including Sundays, an(
that for nineteen days there were over 500 mel
employed. The lowest record is on the nth

No, not even an earthquake can disturb
the flow of our thought. On the con-
trary the flow of our thought has often
disturbed earthquakes. The flow of our
thought reaches it's flood in the midst of
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, lorna
does, thunder-storms, waterspouts, boiler
explosions, Fourth of July celebrations,
upheaving foundations and tottering
walls. The earth may yawn, but the
torrent of our thought rolls on in all its
dignity and grandeur. The flow of our
thought was never disturbed but once;
and that was when the tidings reached
US, at the minute of going to press, on
the day after election, that the elevator
had busted and two forms were pied"

JUST LIKE BJORNSON.

A charming little story of the way in
which Bjornsterne Bjornson, the great
Norwegian novelist, turns off his literary
work, is floating through the newspapers.
This is the paragraph:
'Bjornsterne Bjornson is an easy and
rapid but fitful writer. Sometimes his
pen will be seized by an inspiration and
reel off whole chapters ia a few hours.
The forenoon is his work-time, and he
does not care if his desk is surrounded
by visitors talking or by dozen romp-
ing children at play. Nothing short of
an earthquake, he says, can disturb his
flow of thought.
We've always admired Mr.. Bjorson
and have passed many happy hours read
ing his stories in the original; but now
our heart warns toward him with a
warmth it never knew before, for we
discover that this great man and we have
tastes and feelings in common, which it
us the lot of few persons to share. Bjorn-
sterne! you're inst like US, my dear fell
low! We're just like you-only little
more so. We, too, delight in being sur
rounded by the laughing prattle of chill
dren as we toll. AS these desirable sur
roundings are not easily to be had in the
editorial sanctum, we usually write our
heavy articles in our lowly cottage, with
the little romping darlings on our knees,
in our arms, in the midst of our hair and
whiskers and riding to Banbury Cros
on our instep. If possible, we send for
a few of the neighbors' children, and as
the racket grows merrier and the little
prattlers grow more numerous, the
faster flies our pen and the more irresis-
table becomes our logic. Perhaps our
readers have noticed that some of our
most brilliant articles have appeared in
the green apple season. In the jubilee
of collie and stomach-ache we are in
spired with our sublimest ideas, and
write with a rapidity and visor that
drives all witnesses aghast.
Yes, we're happy to have a score or
two of visitors talking and chattering
around our desk, as we write. They give
a light and airy grace to our style, make
us crisp and epigrammatic, and our work
seems but pastme, But writer for
provincial newspaper can't afford to hire
twenty to forty people to talk to him
every day in the week, and that's WHY
Tie public don't get more of that class of
work from us. When we get hard push
ed for a stimulus of this sort, we order
in e foreman of the composing room,
til office boy and the pressman, whom
we nave trained to repeat one of Joseph
Cocks lectures backward, in three diff
felont languages, at tne rate of seventy
five words per minute together and at
the same time. We have found this ex-
pedient, exceedingly useful and econom-

SpOOpendyke Has a Phantom
BuniOn.

"My DEAR" whimpered Mr.. Spoopen-
dyke, hobbling into his wife's room and
| throwing himself into chair with a des-

| 'My dear? there is something the matter

"That's all you know about it, grunt.

''No, it isn't a corn" howled Mr..
Spoopendyke, nursing his foot and glar-

of rage and pain. ''What 'yr think this
foot is, anyway; an agricultural district?
When did you ever hear of corn that
reached from the heel to the knee?
Which of your friends ever had corn
that hurt clear to the ear?" and Mr..
Spoodendyke touched his foot carefully
to the floor and eyed his wife narrowly
to see if she noticed the expression of
agony on his face.
'lf 1T acts that way it must be bun

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases, and lie has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELASn's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Ior-
rible itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolcrabie. The leg became cnor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
discharging great quantities Of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was Of any
avail! until the man. by Mr.. LrLAND's direc-
tion was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

Overwhelmed and Crushed

The way Mr.. Tucker is .soverwhelm ing
and crushing his competitor, Nh. lost,
is fairly illustrated by the correspondence
incorporated in the letter we publish from
buckingham e. II. We learn that.a num-
Der of Democrats had come from dis
lance, influenced, no doubt. by the state
ment Of the Dispatch us to what was to be
the fate of Mr.. Yost in an encounter with
Mr.. Tucker, to witness the ''cruelty that
was to be inflicted When it.came to the
test. however, Mr.. Tucker declined Joint
discussion. alleging as reason that his
friends had made arrangements for separate
speaking, but we presume in obedience to
the order of Col Barbour. From what
we have learned of the feeling prevailing
on the occasion, Mr.. Tucker lost friends
by the.course ofAhimself and.managers, las
he will do whenever he declines to discuss
the real issues of..this canvass. The Re-
publicans, largely outnumbering the Dem
ocrats.. were addressed by Messrs. y ost,
Allen Hubbard, Eppes.and. Perkins. The
utmost enthusiasm prevailed and the
days work flattering for the Republican
cause in this district. We could, ask of
Mr.. Tucker no other course than that
adopted at Buckingham c. H., to insure
his certain defeat.
