Yesterday afternoon, the roun-
der tal;iug it into bis head, that he
was aomcth'ug Of a pedestrian,
started out TO take in the city and
note the improvements for these
columns.
His first point of interest was the
Walnut street depot of the 7. & Ft.
S. rairord. At this place lie found
some eight or ten white men and
dozen negroes waiting for the
train to taEe them north to their
yations destinations on the road,
He also noticed at this place a doz-
en- tents stretched and occupied by
colored laborers, who are engaged
in throwing up an embankment for
another switch west Of the depot,
and which will extend when com
pleted dowa to Clinton street,
While at this place The twain came
up and we noticed qo,te a crowd
going out on Il,
Passing on further, we came to
Alderman E. M, Walkers house and
found him reared back on his trout

reporter thought he would secure
him for a gui'c, and learn some o.
the intricacies Of the mill, and with
Tbs idea in view, approached the
gentleman, and said; | see you
have a great mill here? "Well,
yes, said the gem, The reporter
put several other quest lions to him
of a like nature, and the answer
always came, "welI, yes"
Leaving the mill, the reporter
visited the DeMarce foundry, but
found it closed and could not gain
access.
The next point Of interest was the
Cotton Belt yards, (the new pur-
chase) and while making "spurt"
for this place, passed the James
McShane store, "Mc" was in and

rest a while, which the reporter did,
Mr., McShane informed the reporter
that the Cotton Belt was doing
great things for Vinegar Hill, and
that property was in great demand
and was going up in price daily, AT
ter taking a soda with "Mc," the
scribe passed over the ground
where the Cotton Belt is making its
improvements. Much work had
been done since the last visit Of the
reporter, and he expects to see by
the first Of the month, these
grounds in apple.pie order, ready
for extensive buildings
The scribe started back to the
city from here, and met up with a
couple OF lady friends who tried to

steel stretched out with many car
loads Of material on the same,
ready for the work Of extension

ter pocketed his pencil, shut his eye
to improvements being made, and
started fot home, one OF the most
tagged out pedestrians, perhaps, in
the whole city.
A Howling Mob.
