O'Rell is a dandy whe n caricatur-
ing society, He says that in France
there is no society papers, or do
other papers fill up on such stuff as
he finds in the papers in this country
for example: He reads in an Ameri-
can paper that Mrs. Brown the
charming and delightful companion
of Col Brown took supper with the
fascinating Mrs. Smith, the wife
of the gallant Col Wayback Smith,
that the table glistened with silver
and the cloth was snowy white, or
that Mrs. Teetotaler, has gone to
visit Mrs. Rumseller in Little Rock
and that her presence will be sadly
missed while she is absent. If such
stuff, said O'Rell was to apperr in
French paper, the husbands of the
ladies mentioned, would feel agrived,
and they would seek that offending
editor and pull his nose. The ap.
piause he received was sanction of
what he uttered.

Now that the concrete side walk
has found friends in Joe Huckins
who will put down one 80xl4O long

wide, and O'Dwyer and Ahern will
follow suit with one 80 long by IL
wide on Broad street, we hope 9TH
ers will follow until all of our busi-
nes blocks are laid in a uniform
size and style OF walk. The plank
side walks we now have are mostly
rotten, and disease turks under
them, besides they are ungainly,
cumbersom, and forever out of re-
pair. Let us work to build up
solid improvements. 1t costs very
little more to lay concrete over the
plank or brick and when it is once
down, it is all ways down. Come
