.IaRersor Streat.

Travel upon Jefferson street has increased
wonderfully since a very considerable part
of it was paved. That portion of the city
west of it, in proportion to its area, con-
tai S more people than any other, and the
street in its improved condition accomo-
dntss a very great nu nber of poo lie, AMI
very large amount of bui ess. To pave
the street to Anderson street would stimu-
late the growth of tue city, and to open and
pave it to Twelfth street would CAUSE a
miraculous change in that section of the
CT y in very short time.
The street paving that has been done
within the last three or four years has done
more to inspire confidence in tho city's
future prosperity and to promote building
improveme It's than any other thing during
the previous twenty years.
Tie people, siucs the improvement of
Broughton, Congress aad Liberty streets,
wonder how they could have besn satisfied
with them as they were little while ago.
II more of the money that is spent without
producing any vi ible benefits was
spent in street paving, there would
be more buildi z going on than there is at
present, although the number of buildings
being erected Is very large. There ought
to be we'll paved stree. running from the
river to the extreme southern Ii nits of tho
city, and another running from the eastern
to the We tern limits. or course, wit in "a
few years there will bs quite number of
paved streets, but tue city needs two or
three more, on the lines indicate /, at once
The city would be great gamer by
spending money in street paving, because,
in proportion as the strests are paved. the
city's revenue increases. Street paving
causes the taxable wealth Of the city to
increase immensely.

Mr.. HaHSard drove quickly to the nearest
store, about four mil away, expecting to buy
a par of trou sers there, for all the country
stores keep ready-made clothing. When he got
there he found numerous ladies', who had con

He could not leave his bug sy, but he yelled for
the proprietor to come out, and to him he made
t. him five or six pairs of trousers. He drove
down into a neighboring hollow, tried the IN on,
found pair to fit him, aud thus mis- fluctuations
were ended.

Too Many Studies.

The impression is growing that the
system of education that is in force in the
public sch jols Of many parts of the coun-
try, particularly in the citiss, is not wise
one. he objection to it IS that the students
are required to give attention to too ma ~
studies. This objection applies with greater
force TO the public schools in the New
England cities than to those elsewhere, and
1t IS especially applicable to high schools
a-d colleges in all parts Of the country. It
IS not surprising, therefore, that recently
there have been some very vigorous DR. >
tests IN different cities against a system
which is productive of bad results and no
good ones.
One result of this system is that but fe y
OF the pupils understand thoroug ly the
things they have studied; in fact. many Of
them do not get more than smattering of
Them. What else could be expected? They
cannot give TO any study as much time as
they ought to, d about the best they can
nope to do is TO 60 through VITA their reci-
tauons without giving especial evidence of
their lack Of preparation. Another result
is a loss of energy on t @ part of tia pupils.
and, In many Instances, AMI jury to health.
In being pushed hurriedly through a
long and burdensome curriculum no or j.
nary strain is endured. The pupils are re-
quired to s,udy more than is good for them,
their brains are over-taxed a I'd their bodies
are ii ed out. As a consequences, many of
them who aspire to stand at the head OF
their classes sacrifice health to ambiti ~.
Still another result is that the teachers are
oyer-worked, and frequently are moi in
condition to impart knowledge to the
pupils
The consideration of health is sufficient [,

the public schools and the colleges would
turn out healthier aud bet or educated
young men aad women than they do at
present.

An interesting story concerning ex-Com-
missioner Tanner has jut come to light.
When Tanner was wou lded on the fell of
battle be was taken TO Fairfax seminary
opital The physician in charge thought
he would certainly die from the wounds, 50
he paid but little attention to him; but the
wife of DR.. New, of Indianapolis, was at
the hospital at tle time, and she nursed
Tan or so well that he recovered. A str ing
friendship naturally sprang up between
Tanner and Mrs. New, aud when the corpo-
raj was a .poiAted pension commissioner lie
promised to make Mrs. News husband a
medic examiner. N doubt he would have
done this but for the Interference Of John
c. New, a brother of DR.. New Ill feeling
existed between the brothers, and John C.
determined that the doctor should not be
appointed. He saw the President, aud ex-
acted from hun promise that he wou d
not allow Tanner to appoint D.. Nsw, and
the consequence was tbat when Mrs. New
called on the Pre5idsnC in the interest of her
husband, the doctor, she was told gruGly
that me doctor didn't stand a CHEST of a
chance. Some one else was appointed.
Tanners friends are now eying tlat # he
had made squa issue with the President
o. News appointment, aud had resigned
rather t al forsgo the appointment, he
would have gone ou5 OF Office with the re-
spect of everybody.

Encourage Colored Emigration.


Some of the members of the Georgia leg
islature recently had s3methi to say
about emigration Of colored people from
this state. Neither the Georgia legislature
nor that of any other southern state should
do anything TO prevent this kind of emi-
grafton. On the contrary, they should en-
courage it. The concentration Of colo ed
people in any section, state or country is
detrimental to the prosperity of that local
ity. 1t is a well establ shed flct that
wherever the negroes largely predominate,
Or gress is retarded, and W erever they
obtain control IN public affairs there is a
decided back ~ ard movement. Comfort
able houses in many instances give way to
huts, public roads become foot paths, and
fields grow up in forests. As the white
population gradually becomes smaller, AMI
the colored population larger, civilization
disappears.
A striking illustration OF this retrogres-
sion may be found in the county adjoining
that in which Savannah is situated -
Liberty county, once having perhaps the
we ,lthiest and most intelligent citizs IS Of
any in the state; county which has given
TO Georgia as many great men as any other,
and perhaps more. OF late years its large
colored population has done it a great in
jury, and the recent outblrsts of religious
fanaticisn on the part OF colored people
there conveys an idea of the state of affai
which has been brought about. A few
white men are striving to stem the current,
but without much success. What can they
do against the infile ices Of an ignorant
and superstitious race, overwhelming in
nu nbers? 1t would seem that their only
hope l. in the emigration of part of the
colored people.
1t is better for both the colored aud the
white people that the first named SHOULD
not become too strong numerically in auy
community-be batter for the whites, because
they will not have so many retarding in
fuences to combat, and better for the
blacks because, separated to considerable
ex ent from evil Influences, they will rise
more rapidly in the pla of Utilization.

John Z. Cooley has brought novel suit
against the ch irch of Our Saviour in Brook
lyn. In 1871 the church was In debt, and
one Of the members devised plan for pay
ing the Indebtedness. He proposed ha the
pews, instead OF being rented annually, be
sold outright, and that if a purchasing
member or visitor did not care to occupy
the pew he would be paid per cant. year
on the investment. OF cours it was thought
that all such purchasers would refuss TO re-
coive anything of the kind, and nearly all
of them did, but Mr.. Cooley. who bought a
pew and then moved away, returned to
Brooklyn the other day, afte- an absence Of
eighteen years, and demanded his money.
This church refused to pay, and Cooley took
tie matter into court. He claims that
$l,09S is due him.

I'm scarcely strong enough to squeak,
Although I'm never creased.

Most every otler night
He hung upon my star soard side
And she upon the other,
Til Susen Smith became his bride,
And in due time mother.

My doom breathed in a single word:
The baby was a girl!
And as she grew, and grew, and grew

For she was very fair to view.
And IL was the gate!
Then, in due time, lover came,
Betokening my ruin,
A dapper fellow, Brown by name,
The grown-up baby wooin'.
They sprang upon me in the gloam,
Aud talked of moon ami star.
They're married now and live at home
Along with ma and pa.
My lot was happy Tor year,
No counting night or day
had no thought, had no fear,
Bad luck would come my way.
But oh this mornin (. save the mark
There came q wild surprise,
A shadow fitted, grim and dark,
Across my sunny skies.
A doctor. with knowing smile,
A nurse with face serene,

My pickeGs in whirl;
