ODD3 AND ENDS; - ——"“When I was in Now York a few days 8go,” eaid a prominent business man of this city, “‘I paid a visit to Greenwood c:motery, which is probably the most beautiful burial place in the world, Millions npon millions of dollara have been spent i beautifying it. It is a forest of monuments. Tho gates to the cemotery cost $100,000 alone. The ap: proaches to the cemetory are lined on either side with marblo shope, and T venture to say that the sggregate of monuments in stock would be sufficient to replace the_entire num- ber in the cometory, While walking through the cemetery, where I spent over half a day, I came upon a megnificent mausoleum of granito having upon it the name of Thomas C, Darant. I looked into the crypt but saw no body there. This costly msusoleum was built by Mr. Durant when be had mil- lions at his command, but whether he will have enough money to pay his foneral ex- penses and to have his bydy placed in & ca:ket, corresponding 1o the magnificence of the tomb that 18 waiting for him, remains to bo seen. Tt strikes us that the safest way for a men to do is to die first, and have his tomb built afterwards. The money that is invested in Durant’s mausoleur might be of great ser- vice to him at present, and to his heirs aftor- wards,” . ——“I went up into tho New York Matual Lifo insuracce building, which is the finest businoss etructure in America,” continued the same gentleman, “and while walking along the hall in the fifth stery I obeerved a plain slgn upon one of the doors, which attracted my attention. Itwas ‘C. A, Arthur, Law Office.’ Stepping inside I inquired for Mr. Arthur. I was told by one of tho clerks that he was out of the clty, The question, ‘What ehall we do with our ex-presidents,’ evidently does not interest Mr, Arthur, as ho is zble to tako care of hinself.” . ——-0n my way east,” said the same zen- tleman, I stayed » day or twoin Detroit,and whilo there I took particular notice of the pavements in thatcity, They have thorough- ly tested the various metheds of paviog with wood in Detroit. The Nicholson, the round block, the equare block, cedar, aud pine, have all proved fail- utes. Theso wooden pavements for the first year or two are sorviceable and pleasant to drive over, but they soon get full of ruts and holes, and become rcugher than streets paved with cobble-stones. Perhapsif laid on a con- crote biso they would last longer, butif money is to be expsnded for concrete then as- phalt is perhaps tho best material for the sur- face, particularly for lovel sweots, O.her pavements can by used on the hillsides,’” ——The street tigns in Oxaha are not only few and far between, bu thoso that remain look as if they had been on a protracted epree.

Within the first two years over $150,000 was expended for surveys in Nebrasks, Ova- niogham's ambition was o become senator himself and he came very near it at one time.

Smith, When Smith took possession of the office the bulk of the surveys had besn completed, and there was but very littlo patronago and plonder left. Stephencon, who succeeded Smith, was o member of the legislatare that elected Man- derson to the semate. Gardner, who now holds the office, will find it very hard picking outside of his salary.” ——Judge Hascall, while entertaining a party of half dozen or more interested lis- teners, at ths Wabash corner, the other even- ing, with some reminizcenscs of tho early days of Kansns and Nebratks, incidentally men- tioned a fect that would hardly be balieved ex- cept by persors who huve seen a big Missouri steamboat sail over ths bottoms up to the Union Pacific shops and take on a eupply of coal from the railroad coal-houre, He said that in the spring of 1853 & Misscuri river steamer, named the Financicr, went up the Kaw river in Kansas to Fort Riley, a distanse of 150 milos, somethivg that was never_dono befora or since. The Financier, however never got back to the Mistouri river. She got stuck, and the high water went down so rapidly that she was left high and dry. The same +pring the El Paso went up tho Platte river In Nebraska as tar as Fort Kearney, which is 100 miles in a straight line from the Missouri river, but much farther by water. The El Paso had better luck on the Platte than the Financler did on the Kaw, for she returned in safety to the Missouri. Saveral steamers had gone up the Platte during high water for some considersblo distance, each spring, for several years, but none ever went up 8o far as the El Paso, Tho boat that went up the farthest was entitled to the Geer horns, and the El Paso captured them snd carried them ever afterwards.
