CoNrsE,srD AsrnAITE FOR RoADwATs-
From an srtele in the Scientific .4irsrie1a, We
colls;e some facts On the advantages Of compres.
sed asphalte in roadmaking. They derive ad-
ditional interest from the fact thar th, material
is nearly indenticA with that with which we
have lIii some portions Of our sidewalks. 1t
appears that the compressed ssphalte has by its
incontes,able advantages obtained the approval
Of all the engineers Of the Munich raity Of Paris,
aud Of great number Of provincial cities; in
fact the hardest working streets Of Paris are now
psved with t.
Il j.. so solid IN wear that it Is superseliDg

abuncant and cheap. \ very great advantage

and wheels Of vehicles make scarcely any noise on
this pavement. Il is Kept perfectly clean by the
use Of hesoms, AMI washing wi'h a's@ -o that u

no cracks or creyices in which animal or vtget,-
ble matter can accumulate and decay, its sani-
,ary qualities are Of the highest order.
Its iirst cost is less than stone paving in near
" sl countries, and the cost of maintenance is
very much less than that Of Mscadamized roads,
and generally less than that OF any other modern
pavement
Il has been objected that these roads need fre-
ouent repairs, but these complaints had their Or
igin in the imperfections of experimental pave
ments constructed Of other and inferior material
from that of the frst-class asphalte rosds

POLtTICAL BRIBERY IN AMERICA AND Is Eng
LAND As regards direct corruption, the Eng
lish system Of representation is almost the anti
thesis Of the American. | suppose there is COM
parstisely little done in the United States IN the
way of direct BE- berry Of voters. | presume that
the modes Of corruption by partisan organizt-
tious, &" rings" and 50 forth, do not attemot
much in the way Of direct purchase Of individual
votes. But the buying Of votes is as common as
it is f4gitious in English boroughs, where the
voters are, or at least were, comparatively few.
Now, on the other hand. either Congressi is gross
ly and cruelty malgnei by every newspaper Of
every party / have ever seen, and every man
have ever spoken with on the subject, or there
are always representatives enough whose infu-
ence in favor Of particular measure or scheme
can be obtained by personal corruption. Money
can be used directly TO procure The influence and
the vote Of some member Of Congress- or Con-
gress Is maryel0usy beied. But it is certain
that nothing Of the kind can be done. or even At
tempted, with the House Of Commons The
member Of Parliament who has bought his cleo
ton by he most shameful and iniquit0us bribery
and treating will himself be personally pure and
beyond the possibility Of direct corruption
will net say that there has never Of late years
been any single instance Of suCn corruption. but
do say that | al least have not heard Of any
such, and that torour present argument We may
fairly assume that The direct corruption Of Brit
sh members Of parliament i wholly unknown.
The thing is, IN fact, never thought Of The days

LIoys-IHREE KILLED.
The usually quiet little village Of MddletoEn
wis thrown into a painful fever Of excitement on
Thursday morning by an awful catastrophe,
which occurred in the band lately attached to
james Robins1ns circus and animal show
Upon starting out from Cincinnati for the sea-
son, the management determined 10 produce
something novel in the way Of q band chariot,
aud conceived tie idea Of mounting the baud
upon the Colossal den OF performing Numidien
lions, and which would form one Of the princi-
pal and Tost imposing features Of the show.
Although repeatedly warned by Professor Sex
ton that he deemed the cage insecure and dan
gerous in the extreme, the managers still per-
sisted in compelling the band to ride upon it.
Nothing, however, occurred until Thursday
morning. The band took their places and the
procession commenced to move, amid the shouts
Of the multitude Of rustics who had assembled
to witness the grand pagenant, and near the en-
Eyening strains Of music. Not a thought u
danger was entertained by any one, but the aw-
ful catastrophe was about 10 occur. As the
driver endeavorel to e. ke the turn in the
streets, the leaders became cntaEgied and threw
the entire team into confusion. The driver lost
control Of them, and becoming frightened, they

cage coming il contact with a large rock with
such force as 90 cause the braces and sfaaChi0u-
which supported the rCct 10 give way, thereby
preci pitauEg the entire band into the aEtul pit
below. For an instant the vast crowd were
paralyzel with fear, but for a mJmtnt only, and
then arose such shrek Of agony AS never was
heard before. The awful croaus Of terror and

Its use In sidewalks in Paris has shown an aver
age duration Of fifteen years for layer three
iourths Of an inch thick. Il is very much
cheaper than tagged walks, not costing more
than from one-fourth to one-half as much, ac-
coTdlng to the quality of flags employed.
These facts seem worth considering in connec-
;ion with the subject Of pavements in this coun-
try and ought to lead to thorough experiment in
this direction.

of her senses, and screamed and threw up her

her husband, who was asleep in the sane room,

reptile would return and attempt to finish his
