To the Leaf-Chronicle.l
The much-needed improvements of
good stone crossings ordered by the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen to he
laid on several streets of the city is
very cOmmendable and we beg to
suggest that change be made in the
construction of the same from the
rough manner as now laid. The
crossings on the streets of Louisville,
Nashville and other cities are of fiat
cut-stOne from twenty inches to
twenty-tour inches wide and from
four to five feet long, laid in two 70 VS.
twelve inches apart and paved be-
tween with block stone, making a
crossing from four to five feet wide,
somewhat similar to the crossing on
First street near Crusman's corner.
If laid in that manner they will be
always free from mud and water.
Crossings laid with irregular rough
stone become sick ana dangerous to
passing animals and disagreeable to
pedestrians, and ought to be CON
.demned. Crossings on alleys and
wagon ways across side walks should
be paved similar to the crossing on
Madison street near the Methodist
church.
If those crossings are laid properly
of hard blue lime stone they will be
very durable and cheap when COM
pared to the slip shod way this work
has heretofore been done. 1t is time
that GAINESVILLE should begin to
make Improvements on her streets
in a substantial manner. Y.

Echoes From the Press.

The National Review has appeared
daily during the meeting Of the
Republican League Convention in
Nashville, forming neat and
sprightly paper.
Gallatin Examiner tells the mer-
chants OF Gallatin that they are loos-
ing 800, 900 year by allowing mer-
chants of other places to monopolize
their newspapers, drawing trade
away. There is something in this.
Merchants of other places would not
use the Gallatin papers if it did not
pay.
The Examiner is Boosting that the
people of Gallatin eat good beef. The
enterprising cattle dishorners of
Sumner county should undertake to
supply Chattanooga, where the peo-
pie are choked to death on tough
steak.
Memphis Ledger: The pretence of
Speaker Reed and Postmaster Gen
eral Wanamaker that they are afraid
they would be killed if they set foot
on southern soil, is bald-headed lie
that is not worthy of notice or denial.
Avalanche: The stories told of
brutal treatment of patients in the
insane asylum on Wards Island sug-
gest the thought that the pious Editor
Shepard might find plenty of mis-.
siOnary work north of the Potomac.
Avalanche: Speaker Clapp made
very neat point in welcoming the
Republican Leaguers to the House,
when he promised not to count them
as present to make a quorum. He
might have conveyed the allusion to
Boss Reed in IA way that would have
offended the visitors, but being a
southerner and a gentleman, he
didn't do it. "PlantatiOn manners"
seem to be the most reliable, after
all.
Farmers Appeal: What seems to
be the great need of the hour is a
towering genius to show his mastery
hand in framing law to equalize
assessments and taxation. 1t appears
to be one OF those questions to which
may be applied the homely phrase,
cit can't be did,

ship of the Dortch election law,
graduated from the Southwestern
Presbyterian University of Clarks-

NEGROES AND NEW ENGLAND.
Organized Effort TO Induce an ExOdu

Organized Effort Co Induce an Exodus
from the south to That Section.
Boston, March 10. An organized
effort is being made to induce an exodus
of southern colored people to New Eng
land. The scheme finds its motive in
the lack of suitable domestic servants in
New England and in the desire of GER
tain original Abolitionists to place the
freedmen in condition Of civil liberty.
Mr.. Stillman b. Pratt says the people
of this section have within a few years
found out that the women of the negro
race make the best servants that can be
had, and there is a constantly increas-
ing demand for them from all parts of
New England.
The intention of the promoters of the
immigration movement is to have whole
families come on-the women as SER
wants and the men for laborers- and he
says the purpose is to colonize them
throughout New England in the same
way that Vermont is encouraging the
immigration of Swedish families.
Mr.. Pratt says the local authorities of
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and
Massachusetts, have promised to deal
literally with them, and that as soon as
the proper time shall have arrived the
word will be spoken which will start a
considerable exodus from the southern
states

Senator Mynatt, from Knoxville,
raised a breeze by entering his pro-
test against the passage of "the in
famous Dortch law" The speaker
ruled that the protest was a reflection
upon the Senate and no notice would
be taken of it. Mr.. Sparks said the
protest was a reflection on the Senate
and moved that the gentleman from
Knoxville be expelled. The motion
was laid over. Mr.. Mynatt struck
out the word infamous and Mr..
Sparks withdrew his motion and
harsh remarks.

Republicans have struck a snag at
last in the case Of Mr.. Parret from

right of the Catholic students at the

vote. This is about as strong case
as any Of the contestants have, but
the Republicans are shy of attacking

without Interference.
GAINESVILLE, Tex, March 10. - An
Infatuated woman, perfect Samson in
strength, turning the scale at 175 pounds.
cleared Mayor Kirkpatrick's Office Fri
day in most approved style. She was
on trial for tolerating a nuisance on heI
premises, and in course of the trial TOOK
occasion to pour forth volley of abuse
on the mayor. He ordered her arrest,
and the officer who undertook to exc
cute the order at once found he had
struck vlrago. With the fury of a
wildcat she clawed him and pounded
him until he was a horrible-looking
spectacle.
The city attorney attempted to inter
fere but was persuaded that it was none
of his business when he received a judi
cious highlander on the jugular thar
sent him spinning.
The mayor was knocked out by a few
sledge-hammer blows on the face, and
the combat ended only when the mayor
yelled to the policeman to let the tiend
go She picked up her collar, her hat
and her gloves, pinned up her torn and
tattered dress, and walked out of court
with mild look of citation in her eye.
