The fact that Schuyler Colfax has

many times within the last two years
seems to be O. source of great annoy
ance of late, to certain parties not well
pleased at that gentleman's well de-
served and growing popularity. For
the want for anything better they seek
to make it a matter of ridicule, a
theme for sarcasm. The fact is Mr..
Colfax has not been able to accept one
invita- ton to lecture in ten of those
that have been sent him. The pro-
ceeds of his lectures have been gene
rally given in many cases to charita-
BILE associations. Mr.. Colfax has ac-
cepted invitations to lecture for the
benefit of benevolent and patriotic
enterprises, on numerous occasions,
to his no small inconvenience and at
his personal expense. Furthermore,
there is no public speaker in the
country whom the people are more
anxious to hear-none whose lectures
are more interesting and practically
useful. Mr.. Colfax is an honor to his

whom Indiana has great reason to be

The NicOlsOn Pavement.
From the Pittsburgh Commercial

From the Pittsburgh CommerciaL[
The Select Committee of Pittsburgh
Councils, which recently visited the
cities of Chicago and st. Louis, for
the purpose of inquiring into the du-
rability and economy of the Nicolson
pavement, presented the result of
their observations to Councils at the
regular meeting held last night. The
report presents some facts relative to
the durability of the pavement in
Chicago, where it was first put down
in 1856, showing that after ten years
service blocks were taken up and
found to be perfectly sound, having
been worn down In that time one and
a half inches. A comparative test
of the wooden and stone pavements
was made on Washington street, Chi
cago, which resulted in favor of the
former, the latter having been fire.
quently repaired, and is now in much
worse condition han the wooden
pavement. A similar test was made
In st. Louis, with similar favorable
result for the wooden pavement.
From actual observation, the Com
mlttee are of the opinion that the
Nicolson pavement is more durable
than stone. Admitting that the first
cost of the wooden pavement would
be greater than cobble-stnne, the
Committee agree that the advantages
to be derived will more than repay the
outlay. From the testimony Of our
Street Commissioners, it appears that
the repairs being constantly made
to our cobble-stone streets, are equiv
aient to their being relaid every three
or four years, thus doubling the orig
inal cost in that brief period. A saw
ing of ten thousand dollars a year In
the item of street cleaning, is urged In
behalf OF the Nicelson pavement.
Pursuing the question of economy,
the Committee discuss the saving of
wear and tear of horses and vehicles.
In behalf of the Sanitary qualities of
the Nlcolson pavement, the Com
mittee recite the testimony of promi-
nent medical gentlemen of Massa-
chusetts and Illinois, proving it to be
far more healthful than the cobble-
stone-that streets laid with Nicol-
son pavement are provided with a
lasting and valuable disinfectant.
The committee further advance in
behalf of the Nicolson pavement its
benefit to real estate wherever it is
laid. property in Chicago. AUDITING on
wooden streets, commanding higher
fgres than that on streets paved with
stone.

to be printed. and so tavorably i'm
