ALEXANDRIA.
THE BASIS LAW OF STREET LINES.

THE BASIS LAW OF STREET LINES.
Questions Of street lines have now become
burning questions here, and there is an effort
to make uniform irregularities which have
grown with the growth of the town. After the
revolutionary war and the filling up of the
cove in front OF the city the authorities occu-
pied twenty years in trying to get squares
uniform and lines straight. They did the best
they could, and q month before Alexandria
went into the District Of Columbia the follow
ing enactment was made by the councils
Whereas it has been discovered that some
of the squares between Royal and Pitt streets
have been extended too far to the west, and
that some Of the squares between Prince and
Duke streets and between Duke and Wolfe
streets have been extended too far to the south:
Be it therefore enacted that Pitt street be ex-
tended through the town parallel to Fairfax
street and corresponding with the west gable OF
the brick house built by John Dundas, at the
intersection of that street and King street: that
Duke street be extended parallel to King
street, $50 feet 8 inches to the southwark
Of Prince street, and that Wolfe street in like
manner be extended 354 feet three inches to the
southwark Of Duke street. For perpetusting
and rendering public these regulations the
commissioners Of streets shall fix stones on all
unpayed streets proyided that nil
houses built before the 9Th day Of April, 1875,
which shall extend beyond the lines on which
they are built shall not be affected hereby, but
shall remain undisturbed until such times as the
owners may think proper to make any altera-
tons in their situations"

A Maxim of Lowell.

James Russell Dowell once wrote to his
nephew, Charles R. Lowell, who afterwards go
bravely died for his country: "Pin this
maxim up in your memory-that nature alb
hors the credit system, and that we never get
anything in life till we have paid for it. Any
thing good, mean. Evil things We pay for
afterwards, and always when 10 find it hard
est to do it. By paying for them, of course, I
mean laboring for them. Tell me how much
good solid work young man has in him and
will erect horoscope for him as accurate as
Guy Mannering's for young Bertram. Talents
are absolutely nothing to q man except he have
the faculty of work along with them. They,
in fact, turn upon him and worry him, as Ac-
teon's dogs did-you remember the story ?
Patience and perseverance-these are the sails
and the rudder even of genius, without which
it is only wretched hulk upon the waters. /"

Rabbi Friedman Resigned.
Rabbi W. 8. Friedman, of Temple Emanu-
Ell, Denver, Col, has resigned and delivered
his farewell sermon before very large congre-
cation and audience He left for the East, and
it is the popular belief that he will in future
occupy the pulpit of Boston's Reform Congre-
CATION, presided over by DR.. SCHNEIDER. This
act of Rabbi Friedman, while it may be sur
prise to many, has been anticipated for some
time. The desire to enter upon broader
field Of action and usefulness seems to be the
Rabbits chief motive of making this change.
What his other reasons may have been are
only known to some Of his personal friends.

rooms, though they arc NOT % large or
comfortable. The ceilings are oppressively
low. The berths are arranged in uppers
and lowers as in our cars, but each berth
Is wide enough for but one person. while
In this country two passengers may occupy
one berth in tolerable comfort. Each of
the English drawing rooms may be closed
and locked from the interior and cannot
be opened until the occupants turn the
key.
The berths are made up before the train
starts on its journey, are, in fact, made up
all the time. Therefore the passengers
have no place to sit except on their berths,
which they are forced to convert into
lounges. In practice it is the aim of the
railway officials to put the men in one end
Of the car and the women in the other, as
there is much less privacy in one Of these
drawing rooms-unless, indeed, you have
taken the whole room-than in an Amer
ican sleeping car berth. But Of course it
Is often impossible to do this, and consid-
ering that the aisle separating the berths
In an English car is not much more than
half as wide as the aisle in an American
sleeper, and that the occupants of the
upper and lower must sit upon the same
berth converted into a lounge before retir-
ing or after rising in the morning, it is
not surprising that few women travelling
alone care to use the sleeping car in Great
Britain.
An attendant goes with each car, but he
does not appear to have much to do be-
yond supplying the passengers with soda
water and sandwiches. When traveller
who has an upper berth wants to go to bed
he reaches up and pulls down his berth
and climbs in. If the men wish to smoke
they wend their way to the smoking room,
which Is little compartment just large
enough for three men to squeeze in. While
these coaches are crowded and what an
American woman would call "stuffy,"
they are Of splendid workmanship and the
bedding and many Of the other appoint
ments are Of superior quality. There are
plenty of racks in which to put luggage,
and device which might be initiated in
this country with advantage to the travel
ing public is neat, clean box underneath
each berth which one may use as q bureau
for his linen and other articles. Not many
sleeping cars are used in England, in COM
parison to the traffic. This Is due largely

for about two weeks with spinal fever died

remains were taken to New Lothrop for
burial. The funeral was held at the Garland
Mission church and the large number of

greet the African native choir, on their first
appearance on American soil. This was
not what might have been expected, for the
Halifax public does not usually extend 9
liberal patronage to an organization whose

ceptional case, for though the advance pres.
notices have been favorable, before the en-.
