7 • Crossings Again
Now that winter is coming on agaia, we
begin to. see tittle discomforts which in
summer were scarcely noticeable. If winter
were what, according, to idealists, it should
be; we would have Crisp, deep snow, clear,
cold days, and coinparative comfort until
the bregking-up thaws; but, unfortunately,
as everybody knowit, slush, siop, mud and
an extra allowance of dirt, is what we have
to expect for the next four months. The
city has - been undeniably improved during
the season just departed;' but, as in 'every
great town, very much always remains to
be done. ' Many of the street - crossings are
merely nominal : ones, and others consist of
but two rows of 'scattering boulders. The
former we ban and 'must' put up with, be
cause they , are irremediable just now; but
thelatter, thought : on the part
of the foot passengers may be rendered
almost as goottas the better, ones. If peo
ple only would keep to the right, and when
thtoaret,' , , on the Tight, refuse tezi turn out
for persons who are on the wrong side,
things would be so much pleasanter. We
have over and over again, seen two persons
attempt to cross a narrow double creating,
abreast, and we have seen women stand,
expecting persons coating the other way to
step out - in the mud. It is hard for a gen
tleman not ,to step out of the way to let
ladies pass ; but it is his duty to refuse
to do it. When there are two 'rows
of stepping Stones, no Lady will think of at
tempting to monopolize both. If there is
.but one row of Stones, of course, when he
meets a lady, the gallant man , will take the
mud.

General Kilpatriek, the dashing cavalry

Ida way to high plum among . the gallant
defenders of the Unitin, and =Orator of un
surpassed brilliancy, will lecture at Lafay

piceciot the Young Men's Mercantile Libra.
ry Association. The historical subject he
has chosen is "Sherman's March to the
Sea," and where it has, been delivered it
has, excited the warmest encomiums of
praise. Reserved seats may be secured
this evening at. Lafayette lia, A t half past
seven o'clock; We trust the soldier and
orator may. be received, with an old fash
ioned audience, such .an one in point- of
numbers as will show that the people
of Pittsburgh are always willing to wel
come with open hearts- the soldiers who
fot i gght bravely and with distinction for the
Lecture. I . .
The lecture at Masonic Hail last evening
,
by Dr. 0. H. Tiffenny, aubject.--“Work.
and 16 Worth; a Social Problem of - Labor,'"
; was a most excellent one., Dr. Tiffermy is
one of the most pleasing and able lectur
ers in the United States, and the subject
was. one with whit,hole peefectlylamillar.
Haying mado.p.,tho ugh investigation of it,
'he was enabled to resent it to the audi.

given under the auspices of the Union M.

We are pleased Di rectors
and
of the Poor' of Allegheny 010', -. the
.
Councils of the city,. are about . .toimake a
purchase of a Farm for the purpc of ao
commOdation of the poor. This'. as be
come - necessary, as the one heretoforo used
for that = purpose at Girty's Run has ,beert
sold. I,
We observe by the Conmercfal - of the2lst
inst. that they viewed the farms of Judge
and Mrs. Brackenridge, Messrs. Coffin and
Mackeown, known as the **lrwin property," --
and the farin of 'Mr:William Boyd, all on
the 'Western Pennsylvania Railroad, and
the furthest only about an hour's ride from
the city._ The ,distance-nf a part of these
farms,.comptiting' distance by time, is not
more than from five to thirty minutes
apart; and the alight difference is of but
little consequence, since it is not intended,
we presume, to, - provision the Occupants
from the city, but mainly from the products
of the farm. There, would, therefore, be
little or no difference:of expense in the su
perintenden4 anct management of oither,
and the inmates 'more - likely to remain at
the institution than visit the city at costs
for recommituient. , '
Some inaccuracies Maui in describing the
Brackenridge farm which it is deemed
proper to correctlietated that there
is "a good spring water bit -- the farm."
This is correct as 'far as it' pas, but is in
correct in this that instead of there being
but. one spring of water, there are ten
sprhigs, and so situated as to supply water
on nearly every portion of the farm and`to
the_buildings pimps.. of pipes; without
the use of form The farm, instead
of being hilly, is, from its frontage °reboot
1700' feet on the Western PeruasylVania
Railroad, extending back to the - Freeport
road, a distance of about 100 rods, a gen
tle slope •of beantifal land and all of it
anscbptible of ' mitigation admirably
adapted for buildings,"'orchtirds, &L.' and
for extent of prospect and beauty cif scenery
is unsurpassed by any other tract on the
banks of the Allegheny. , It is open,- too,
on three sidos-4m the West by a street or
road of fifty feet wide, the Freeport road
on the Northeast 9935 feet in width, and the
West Pennsylvania Railr don the South
-west. Nopart of these , roads are-Included
in the measurement of the land.. , ' It is also
stated in' the article referred tothat ' 4, there
is coal under a great= portion tract?
This is true, but it should haveibtim stated
so as more fully to have described the ex
tent of the ”ooal--that ft is all underlaid

There is n 6 need of• urging the duty of
life insurance. Every man having ethers .
dependent • upon him for support knows
that in no other way can he so surely pro
vide for their future comfort as by secur
ing such. an-amount of insurance aq his in-:
come will allow him to pay for. Of course
it becomes a matter of personal Interest to
know where the most insurance can be, had
for a specific sum. The National Life Insu
rance Company of the United States of
lAmerica, chartered by. Congress in July,
1888.-makes an:offer of insurance upon the
ordinary , Life plan at extremely low rates,
the prinelple of its operation being. that a
smaller sum of cash in hand is. better for
both buyer and seller than a larger amount
based upon the contingencies of possible
future profits or dividends. - For this small
sum it guarantees a certain amount of in-
surance, the contract between insured and
insurer being too plain for any complica
tions such as may attend the settlement of
notes or dividends. This is arecommenda.
Lion to start with, and if the Company is a
secure ofie, its lovr rates will naturally be
popular. .For this security ,we find. two
strong guarantees: one is a paid-up capital
of one million dollars, ample for all possible
present liabilities, and the other is= the
character of the managers of the Company,
among whom are Jay Cooke, C. H. Clark,
Hon. E. A. Rollins, Hon. , W. E. Chandler,
and others of high national repute. It is
not alone bY , its low cash rates that the new
National Lffe commends itself to those con
-templating insurance, for it offers, beside
a number of novel and favorable methods
by which the insurer or his heirs may reap
unusual pecuniary benefit from. his or, her
investment. These new featares—the::Re
turn Premium (by which the . amount of
all Premiums paid wilt be returned• to the
heirs of the insured in addition ,to the
amount fqr which he was insured), the
Income.Produclug, and other 'plans—will
be explained in detail by the agents of the
Company, whose card may be found else.

It is strange to see with what carelessness
some invalids attend to their health. They
will procure a box OfV , ANTATION BITTERS,
which ought to beused up iu a month or
six. weeks, and upon inquiry' it is found
that they hays used only only two or three
bottles. Some days they have used it au.
:cording to the directions, and others have
not - touched it. The whole trial has been
irregular,And at course a less favorable re
nit as come from their use. If it lie true
that “what is
