powerless to fight the devouring ele-

nearly a quarter of million in value
passed up in smoke. The Monroe

The wording of the above petition
does .ioss injustice to the owners OF
property on north eide OF said street,
who the remonstrants claim are actu-
ated by desire to improve their own
property at the expense of the general
public. Nothing is further from the
truth. Many OF them have signified a
willingness to stand their full proper
ton of the district tax levy to pay for
the property condemned, nor are all
the residents on the south side OPP
posed TO the proposed improvement, as
the remonstrants intimate is the case.
The line of proposed vacation is the
result of circumstances for which no
body is responsible-the width and
bounds OF the street on Eastside leav-
ing no choice in the matter. The
north side of Fourth street east of the
bridge conforms with the north side OF
that street in the city proper, while
the south side east is twenty feet back
of the line after it crosses the bridge
to the peninsula where the business
part Of the street will be. In other
words, there is Jog on the south side
OF Fourth street which narrows it to
GO feet, from one arm OF the inlet to
the other, and it is to widen this part
that the movement is inaugurated.
It is not proposed to do this at the ex-
pense Of the property condemned, but
to levy tax on the property north, as
well as on the south side, and q small
proportion on the city at large, as it is
an Improvement that TO some degree

1t is said that Professor Newman
was one day holding forth on the ad-
vantages of a vegetable diet, and
urged an argument that if a man eats
pork he will grow to look like pig,
the beef eaters like bull, and so on.
Whereupon somebody rather con-
founded him by dryly adding: Eyes,
Mr.. Newman, and he who confines
himself to a vegetable diet will be in
great danger of finally resembling a
small potato or cabbage-head."
Cardinal McCabe, a great Irish
priest, said in July, 1882: The great
crime of drunkenness is like a wild
bear ravaging our unfortunate coun-
try. 1t is the great source of misery
aud crime. The drunkard becomes
thoroughly selfish. He can think of
nothing but his own wretched appe-
tite; and to crafty his craving for
drink, he will leave his wife and child
die of starvation. Where there is a
sober father and mother, there is
plenty and peace and comfort in the
family; but when the demon drink
enters the household there comes with
it misery and wretchedness.
