New AND VALUABLE PAvEMENT.-Prof.
Wurtz recently introduced TO the scientific
world a new asphatic pavement, under the
name Of Grahamite. 1t was subjected TO severe
tests in the presence of eminent engineers. The
experiments proved that it would stand a pres
sure twenty times greater than that required to
crush granite. 1t was exceedingly tough and
slightly plastic. From recommendations made
by gentlemen who witnessed these experiments
pavement of about 200 feet in length was or
dered to be built on the Battery, from the foot
OF Whitehall street to Il point opposite the
wharf, where heavy stones used in building the
post office are unoaded. The pavement was
finished several weeks ago. Since then enor-f
nous loads of stone have been drawn over the
pavement, during the most trying part of the
year. The more it is used the harder and
smoother it becomes. 1t is gray in color, and
clean and pleasant to the eye. 1t can be made
to stand heat OF 500 degrees without soften
ing. In the sunshine the pavement was so hot
that it was painful to hold the palm of the hand
on it. Hard blows were struck with heavy
hammer on the face of the composition. TWAS
like pounding a well seasoned slab of sole
leather with brOad-headcd hammer. 1t is
claimed that this pavement is the cheapest and
most durable ever invented. Thousands of
yards can be laid in a day.

A GROUSE DRIvE.-There is not a house in
view, nor any sign of man, except that now
and then, on the hillside to the left we catch
lhe SOUND OF distant shots, and see FAINT lets of
smoke ufltlng up, marking where some other
spOrtslnen are lying in ambush. With n row
OF cartridges ranged on the wall, ready for ac
ton, and the gun leaning against the roofiess
station, we may abandon ourselves to tho
dreamy delights of the day. The stiffness is al
most oppressive, only broken at times In, tho
startling boom of large bumDle-bee that flies
past. A story is told of a shurt-sigbted old
gentleman, who was so excited while waiting
as we are, in a station, that he shot one 81

GEORGE SAND on SOCIETY IN France
Corruption! Corruption! (cries the writer.) The
people, too have been drawn into this fatal cur
rent. The artisan is wrong in comparing him
self to the telah. No matter what he says, he
is very free, and his salary has augmented with
the dearness of living; but he may say with
truth that he has become a Bohemian and that
he Is hardly citizen any longer. He has ac-
CURED certain taste for vice. His family has
become hell. The necessity of encamping
round the great centres of work has given him
the habits of moral and physical insanity.
Where he has been brought into contact with
our corrupted civilization in the cities, and
especially in Paris, his intelligence has greatly
developed itself on the surface, but not in
depth; he understands everything and knows
nothing. He laughs at the vices and ridiculous
professions of the b0urgeOiSe, and parodies them
and he sets himself up as man OF ability, a fine
speaker and an enlightened thinker. There is
nothing so sad as to see and hear this windbag
without taste, inspiration, or philosophy. Alas
the workman has turned DOSeur without ceasng
to be barbarous. He used to be simple, good
humored and witty, but now he makes
use Of set phrases which he does
not understand, and technical terms
which he tortures. He is ridiculous
mountebank. He is no longer satisfied with
being your equal; he wishes you to feel that he
said of those who have no ambition to rise, but
who take the epoch as they find it, and besot
themselves with alcohol and debauch2 Their
drunkenness is gloomy and furious The eye is
affected with blood, the voice is hoarse and
broken, the speech cynical, the silence sinister
All, poor people! Formerly you complained
that you were chained to your work, with hard
ly time to repose on the Sunday. Now you are
paid higher wages, and you take what you call
your Monday-that is to say, from Saturday
evening till Tuesday morning; that you work
badly on Tuesday, and only work in reality two
or three days in the week. You make beast
of yourself; that is the benefit which you derive
from life of luxury. The Paris of Voltaire
and of Jean-Jacques Rousseau has become the
city of Sardanapaus. Instead of free schools
in our villages they give us satraps iu our pre-
lectures. Our rich young men amuse
themselves. Our poor young men get tipsy.
Our rich young women intoXicate themselves
with pleasure. Our poor young women sell
themselves.
