The prevalent practice of building

junction. and high expectations are en-
tertained Of its future greatness, cs-
pecially by the original ''city com
pany." On its nap may be seen MAJ
nificcnt avenues inOersecUod by broad
streets, with here and there spacious
parks, beautiful fountains, etc.

man from Maine had occasion TO 20 in
search of a person on a dark night.

was accompanied by one of its original
fathers. With a lantern to throw light
on sheir path they started. After walk
inc a sLoE5 distance the guide, with q
view of communicating instruction as
Wei as agreeable information, stopped
in the neighborhood Of a group Of tower
ing pines. Swinging the lantern slowly
around, ne said:

Proceeding a little way further, he re-
marked:
This is Broad street-an excel

Just beyond is Highland avenue, on
which are fine sites for private resi-
dences-"
The stranger began looking for these
sites, but owing 20 the darkness was un-
able TO distinguish them. After STUN
bling on, up and down ravines, over
stumps and other obstacles peculiar to
more than one Southern metropolis, the
guide again stopped and remarked, with
some hesitation:
