There are a few things that the CITY
Council might do that would be immedi-
ately beneficial to the city, and which
also would be the means of saving the
eity's money. The most important of these
relates to a systematic improvement of
the streets. A plan for paving the streets
should be adopted, and followed year by
year until the work is completed. This
plan should include the reducing, as
much as possible, of the width of
that part Of thoroughfares, such as
President and similar streets, which are
not much used, by putting in wide side
walks, supplemented by a grass plat.
This would reduce what might be called
the "sand area'' to a minimum. Such
streets as Liberty and South Broad should
be paved on one side OF the rows of trees,
and several other streets running east
and west, as well as three or four streets
running north and south, should be
paved throughout their entire length
from Bay street to the extreme southern
limits. AS stone must be imported to pave
the streets, it might be advisable for the
city authorities to see il there is not some
other material that is as easily obtainable
as stone, but preferable because of Its
noiselessness. Asphalt, or an artificial
composition, such as the piece Of
paving in front Of the City Elk.
change, might be sdvantageously and
economically used. The right to
manufacture and use such material could
be obtained and great saving effected.
The work OF making good sidewalks aud
paving the streets is one worthy of the
attention of the City Council. II we are to
have large city such improvements will
aid in its growth, and the sooner the
matter is taken in hand in practical
way the better 1t will be. 1T will be a
saving TO the city in the street depart
ment of thousands of dollars annually to
have the streets properly paved.

rying in gave her quick, questioning
but no one m0lested or spoke to her. and
slowly she went out from the glare and
dazzle into the darker street beyond.
The night was cold ard stormy. In
icy sleet was falling, driven in every di-
rectlOn by The caprlciOus and fitful wiAd
gusts, aud the few pedestrians who. were
abroad hurried 0a their way, anxious to
gain shelter. The girl alone appeared
unconscious OF the discOmfOrts OF tie
weather. Tho rain beat upon her, the
fierce wind met her with force against
which she staggered, but she did not
heed them. With doubtful purpose she
walked slowly on, turning back once or
twice to look again at the place whence
she had come until as the clock from a
neighboring tower indicated to her how
late the hour was, she stopped altOgeth-

$50 late she murmured "Oh, cannot
go home without him." and ROW she
turned swiftly and retraced her steps.
She. paused for a moment on the .hresh-
Old: evidently she feared her own reso-
luton. The doors yielded instantly to
her touch, and once more she locked
over the scene whose light and comfort
and warmth were as little TO her as the
rain and wind outside. Her searching
glance soon found out her father; for the
moment he was standing alone, and his
daughter felt that she had one more
chance. Rapidly she gained his side.
Rather. dear father" she began,
speaking low but passi0nately, 81 can

all her energies, as she saw that her
listener was half needing her words.
"break away from this wretehed place.

and me; we love you so dearly we can
not live without you, and oh! it is ali so
different row from what it used to be-"
The childish voice was breaking. "Surh
little time ago we were all so happy"
Here sob almost chOked her. She slip
ped her clinging fingers into the uDre-
sisting hand of the man who staggered
at her side. Come back to Ms, father;
come home with me now" and the tears
no longer within her power to restrain,
cOursea down her pale cheeks as she
lifted her face to him, holding his saZe
with her wistful, pleading eyes.
The mans features worked desperate

ly; then some better feeling passed ever
him, and Strengthening himself up. he
said, brOkenly, 81 Will go with you,

the universally of its perusal, it is face
tiOusly called the Spanish Nighteap,"
because no one is supposed to have gone
to bed without having read it entirely
through. And it must be read through,
for II is the most extraordinary hodge
pOdge and ola pOdrida ever printed as
newspaper. 1t is newspaper rather

sists of dozen bright reporters and no

and pick up every item of interest, cab

washerwOman, the illness Of The King,
the latest earthquake news, the price OF
eggs, the opening of new cafe, Carlist
rising in the North, the burglary OF
shop, an excursion party's adventures IN
the mountains, the latest club scandal,
the running away of horse, a cOnyen'
ton Of wine mcrehants-eyerythin in
fact that occurs and can be put In print.
This is La Correspondence. The re-
pOrters bring in their news like so many
bees coming home hOney-laden. They
put their copy, written at the clubs, or
hastily peneiled in memorandum books
on the streets, into black leather bag
at the office. Whea the composing room
runs out of copy to set the foreman goes
to the black nag and helps himself to
handful of manuscript. 1t is all set and
all printed without any regard to order

because you know that in Its crowded

you want may be the one skipped. The
circulation of the paper is rated at 200,-

MR.. JEFFERsoN's REPLY.


SIR have duly received your favor
of Aug. 30, and am sensible of the kind
intentions from which it flows. and tru-
ly for them-the more so as they could
only be the result of favorable estima
tiOn of my public coarse. During q long
life as much devoted to duty as faith
full discharge of the trust eOnfided to me
would permit, no object has occupied
more of my consideration than our rela-
sti0n with the beings around Us, our du-
ties to them and oars future prospects.
After hearing and reading everything
which probably can be suggested con-
cerning them | have formed the best
judgment cOnld as to the course they
prescribe, and in the due observance of
that course haye nOrecOllections which
give me any remOrse. subsequent
preacher of your religious society,"
Richard Mott, in a discourse of much
JUNCTION and pathOs, is said to have ex-
claimed aloud to his congregation that
he did not believe there was a Quaker,
Presbyterian. Methodist or Baptist in
Heaven. Having paused to give his au-
dience time to stare and wonder, he said
that in Heaven God knew no distinctions,
but considered all good men as His chill
dren and brethren of the same family.
l believe with the Quaker preacher
that those who steadily observe these
moral precepts in which all religions
concur will never be questioned at the
gates Of Heaven as to the d0gmas in
which they differ-that on entering there
all these are left behind us. The Afisti-
deses and Catos, Penns and TilIOtsOns,
Presbyterians and Papists, will find
themselves united in all principles which
are in concert with the reason of the Su-
preme Mind. With all the systems of
morality, ancient and modern, which
have come under my observation, none
appear to me so pure AS that of Jesus
He who follows this steadily need not,
think, be uneasy, although he can not
comprehend the mysteries and subtleties
erected on His doctrines by those who,
calling themselves His special followers
and favOrites, would make Him come ia
to the world to lay snares for all under
standings but theirs.
The metaphysical heads, usurping the
judgment seat of God, denOunce as His
enemies all who cannot perceive the ge-
Ometrical logic of Euclid in the demon
stratiOn of Anthanasius that three are
in one and one in three. In all essential
points, you and are of the same relig-
ion, and am too old to go into inquiries
and charges as to the unessential. Re-
peating. therefore, my thankfulness for
the kind concern you have been so good
as to express, salute you with friend
ship and brotherly love.
