Can't Messrs. Meade and Jones present our claims in such way that we shall fare as well as the residents on Fifth Sixth and other avenues on the Northside2 We are we would be very grateful for a few city privileges. We are entitled to certain things which we have not, because we bear our part of the city's burden. We, of course, have no police protection at night, we have not had our sewers flushed for years, and we are at the mercy of all prowl- ing creatures, whether biped or quadruped. We appeal to the aldermen of our section for relief. Can't something be done, and done at once? sse 1-.sse -es1 zsesssr

Perhaps 1t Is not well known fact to the city friends that au express package is never delivered by the Southern Express company on the Highlands, and all bundles are delivered by the express company at the off1 ,es ana stores of the gentlemen of the Highlands, and they are forced to lug them home to their families. This is not the case ven : ture to say in any. other city in the south. Then the delivery of 8 telegram on the South Highlands costs the receiver 70 cents. The citizens in this section are willing to pay the car fare, 10 cents of the telegraph boys. but they are somewhat the cliffs may have certain advantages, but surely there can be no reason that the ex- press company should not deliver packages and that the telegraph companies should demand such, tole. This question was uxillary of the Commercial club short while ago and it was hoped that the Com me cial club would take. action in the matter. 1 am quite sure the gentlemen will do so now that their attention is can never be a city with these rural cus- toms clinging to us:
 The exhibition and reception of the Art league was pronounced success. The work exhibited by teachers, members and pupils was remarkably superior. The water colors of Mrs. W.sS. Lowell and MT. Otho Beall were exquisite specimens, and so were the pen and ink sketches of Mrs. Lowell. The woodearying of Hiss Cahalan was very handsome, and the china paint ing by Miss Copeland and her pupils called forth enthusiastic admiration. The draw ings from casts by pupils were worthy of especial commendation.f na

Birming- ham has fine climate and should be made the art center of the south, owing to it's central position!l MT. Parish, the teacher at the Art league, has been pupil under Chase and Mowbray, two of the finest teachers in America. He is eminently capable of g vlng his pupils the fou ndation here that will enable them to enter the life classes at the. art league in New York or the Julian studio and beaux arts in Paris. For the antique class a very fine collection of casts, including ten full length figures, has been purchased at tue north. The pupils in this class work in charcoal and with the point exclusively.
