Plank Roads.

Among the many improvements IN the means OF
communication which have been prosecuted in the
last few years, plank roads assuming very inn
portant rank. A little work by Mr. Kingsford, of
the Hudson River Railroad is of great interest," and
should be we'll circulated throughout the country
1t appears that the first plank road in Canada was
laid down in 1885, and in New York in 1887, but it
is only within the last four years that they have been
much prosecuted. There now exist as follows:
PLANK ROADS IN OPERATION.
No. of roads Miles Average cost per mile. Iota aco
New York ...l9 2,lO6 1858 3,o6O,29o
Very nearly four millions of dollars have been ex
pended in New York upon these roads, and the re-
suIting advantages are immense The roads have
all been subscribed for by individuals, and all pay
handsome dividends. For instance, the Troy and
Lansingburgh road pays 10 per cent, semi annual
the Utica and Burlington 20 per cent and we believe
none in operation pay less than per cent and
of the stocks can be bought in the market.
The Importance of plank roads in farming regions
becomes sefeyident, when it is stated that on the
Salina road two horse team drew sir tons of iron
twelve miles, without unusual strain. Four and
half tons is ordinary load, and team will travel
with it eight hours per day, four miles an hour day
after day. A farmer: in heavy country, stated
that the tolls paid saved themselves in the labor of
cleaning horses In all localities where these roads
are in operation, land rises greatly in value On the
Salina road farm land from SO to SIS per acre
on the Syracuse road the increase was $40 per acre.
It will be observed that amount of property equal
to S4O0O,O00, bearing high rate of interest, has
been created, and that property has added in addi-
ton several millions to the value of the land through
which it runs and that all this property is mere
wing from the old cost Of transportation. As the
existence and operation of these roads is but little
known out of their localities append the statis-

Gem.

Into my heart silent look
Flashed from thy careless eyes,
And what before was shadow, took
The light Of summer skies.
The first born love was in that look
The Venus rose from out the deep
Of those inspiring eyes.
My life, like some lone solemn spot
A spirit passes Ger,
Grew instinct with glory not
In earth or heaven before
Sweet trouble stirred the haunted spot,
And shook the leaves of every thought
Thy presence wandered Ger.
My being yearned and erept to thine,
As, if in times of yore,
Thy soul had been a part of mine
Which claimed it back once more;
Thy very self no longer thine,
But merged in that delicious life
Which made us one of yorei
There bloomed beside thee forms as fair,
There murmured tones as sweet,
But round thee breathed the enchanted air
twas life and death to meet
And henceforth thou alone vert fair,
And though the stars had sung for joy,
Thy whisper only sweet.

THE WAR SOUTHERN AFR1cA.-The British
Cape Colony, originally settled by the Dutch, but
captured from them by the English, has area Of
about 100 600 square miles to population of about
10000. The population of Cape Town, the capital
of Southern Africa is upwards of 10000. Grabams
Town, near the eastern extremity of the Colony is
the only remaining town of any Importance. Here
stationed the government troops, the borders
of Cararia for the protection of the frontier From
this point to the northeast extends the Kafir Terri
tory, following the line of the sea coast The Kafirs
are described by Hugh Murray in his Encyclopedia
of Geography, extremely handsome in their exter-
nal appearance, and completely pastoral in their
habits. The men, especially, are tall and muscular,
and the females though less beautiful, possess ea-
lures almost European, and vivacious and intelligent
eyes Their skin is of deep glossy brown color
The men employed in raising cattle, and milk is
the chief subsistence Of all classes. COW is never
killed except on high occasions Their king is said
to have force of 5000 men constantly equipped
for war, and on urgent occasions can arm 100000
who, it is presumed comprise the entire adult
male population.
1t is with these people, aided by the Hottentots,
that the British colonists are now eontending, and
with whom they have had some hard fighting, with
unfavorable results.--N. Y. Journel of Commerce.

States. The mercury has not been below so degrees
