THE ROADS. More complaints are made of
the condition of the turnpike and county roads
leading to this city, and the character Of those
making them is sufficient proof that the evil
complained of is real and does not exist only
in the Imagination of croakefs. If no other way
can be devised by which the roads can be re-
paired, it is suggested that the farmers using
them, all Of whom it is understood are willing
to contribute to the proposed end, be invited
to attend meeting at the Corn Exchange
where the question can be discussed and a
remedy for the evil possibly discovered. -

The Bureau OF Health.

The New York Hearth & Home, says,
that not long since, on perfectly calm
dav, with clear sky, he saw about fifty
vessels lying al anchor in one of our
harbors on account of coming storm
predicted by the Weather Bureau. How
many lives we're saved by this single pre-
diction it Is impossible to say, but one
such occurrence alone is sufficient to JUS
tify all the expense the Government has
incurred IN establishing and maintaining
he service. 1t has been clearly shown
tat if we had had cable communication
"a IN the Island of St. Thomas and sig
~ station there, we should have known
vi the cyclones recent visit to the Flor
ida coast three days in advance of It's
coming, and mOst of the vessels which
encountered it would have taken refuge
in time 10 some harbor. The service as
it is already organized, if of incalculable
advantage to farmers and to seafarers,
but its possibilities, when it hall become
international in its sphere of action, are
such as TO warrant its extension, at al
most any cost, to every portion of the
earth with which we are in telegraphic
communication.

Awkward Positions.

Between Salem and Boston the cars
stopped at station, and one of the pas
sengers, lady about to leave, suddenly
turned to a gentleman near by, and in
highly excited tones demanded her port
emonnaie. The unfortunate individual,
with his face bearing the color of shame
at this sudden question of his honesty,
protested he had not got it, which, of
course, only increased the lady's energy
and brought the attention of all present
to gaze on the EN- barrassed man. Now,
the lady had pocket on each side of
her Dress, and instinctively searching
them found her property in the left one.
/ was her turn to be confused at having
made false accusation, aud to account
for her mild charge, she murmured, 20 |
I've lost something" Eyes, marin" re-
turned the relieved gentleman, "You
seem to have lost your senses" Every
body sat down laughing al the humiliated
woman as she bundled out of the car
with the moral in her mind-examine
both sides before you condemn.
-An Eastern gentleman occupied a
stateroom with a stranger on board
Western steamer, and in the morning
esriy, the latter dressed himself and took
constitutions" Oh the deck, bat short
ly re lrned in much perturbation with the
announcement that some one had picked
his pocket. The Eastern man instantly
proposed the passengers be searched and
having had the whole crowd assembled
in the saloon, he made a statement of
the situation and demanded that all
should submit to personal examination,
and wound up by Offering himself as the
first to be tested. A gentleman was
chosen to investigate and proceed to make
a return of the Eastern mans personal
examination, and wound up by Offering
himself as the first to be tested. A gen
tleman was chosen to Investigate and
proceed to make return of the Eastern
mans personals. What was the astonish-
ment of the audience, and particularly
his embarrassment, when the pocket
book was found upon him. At this
stage his fellow-lodger cried out, "Why,
this coat have on is not mine y "Nor is
this one mine r added his roommate. The
matter was soon explained-th stranger
hsd donned the wrong coat The whole
affair terminated in an irregular process
sion to the bar and clatter of congrat-
ulations.

MonenI OF nnrror.

For twenty three years, old Jake vii
lard has cultivated the soil of Baldwin
county, Alabama, aud drawn therefrom a
support for self aud wife He is child
less. Not long ago Jake left the house
His route led him through an old worn
out path of clay land, OF about six acres
In extent, In the centre of which was a
we'll, twenty Eve or thirty feet deep, that
at some time, probably, had furnished
the inmates of delapidated house neal
I by with water. La passing by this spot
an i'll wind lifted Jake's tile from bis
head, aud maliciously waited it to the
! edge of the well, and in it tumbled.
Now Jake had practiced the virtue Of
( economy, and he Immediately set about
! recovering the lost hat. He ran to the
well, and finding it was dry at the bot
tom, he uncoiled the rope which be had
brought for the purpose of capturing the
truant COW, and after several attempts to
capture the hat with moose, he conclu-
ded to save time by going down into the
well himself To accomplish this, he
made fast one end Of the rope to a stump
hard by, and was quickly on his way
down the we'll.
1t is fact, of which Jake was no less
oblivIous than the reader hereof, that
Ned Wells was in the dilapidated build
ing aforesaid, and that n old blind horse
with bell on his neck, who had been
turned out to die, was grazing within a
short distance of the well.
The devil himself or some other wick
ed spirit put it into Ned's Uranium to
have little fun; so he quietly slipped
up to the horse, and uubuckling the bell
strap, approached with slow, measured
ting a-ling' to the edge Of the we'll.
"Dang that blind horse y said Jake,
hes comm this way sure, and hain't got
no more sense than to fall in here.
Whoa, Ball -
But the continued approach of the
'ting-a ling said just as plainly as words
that Ball wouldn't who-a. Besides Jake
was at the bottom resting before trying
to ''shin it up the rope"
"Great Jerusalem p said he, "the old
cuss will be top of me before [ can
say Jack Robinson Who al dang you,
whoa !"
just then Ned drew up to the edge of
the we'll, aud with his foot kicked little
dirt into it.
ooh Lord !" exclaimed Jake, falling
upon his knees at the bottom, I'm gone
now; who-al VIII a. Ball Lord have
mercy on me ~
Ned could hold in DO longer, and fear
full Jake might suffer from his fright, he
revealed himself.
Probably Ned didn't make tracks with
J.. Ln,1- 49, I'LL M.-ho IL
wasn't up to the top of it in short order !;
aud you might think he didn't try every
night for two weeks to get shot with his
rife at Ned. Maybe not. l don't know.
But l do know that if Jake finds out
who sent you this, it will be the last
which you'll get.

The Best WAY TO TEACH Lam
GUAGE.-David B. Scott, of New York
city, one of the ablest and most success
full teachers in our country, says:
Give me a class of twelve year old
children for two years, and can teach
them the use of language best by giving
them good piece of poetry or English
prose suited to their understanding, to
commit to memory. | can teach them in
this way more of the use of language iu
| that time than [ ever could by drilling
them in the rules of grammar
Miss Edine Howard, of the New York
city training school, says: Il am pur
suing this course exactly with my Ger
man class, and with very great success.
We use no text books at all, but charts
and black board, the use of the black
board being for teaching German hand
writing. After the pupils can read Ger
man print and German script pretty we'll,
give them a piece of simple and easy
German poetry to get by heart Mr..
kissell, after examining my class, told
me they had outdone anything he had
ever seen.
There's another fact that | think
confirms the conclusions drawn from this
experience | know Of know persons
who use language with more correctness,
precision aud elegance than actors and
actresses; and that, too, in spite of the
fact that they are for the most part men
and women of very little education. But
in the practice of their profession they
learn and are daily repeating the language
of the best writer's, and in this way they
get so used to choice language that they
cant speak or write i'll. Moreover, they
can and do write better letters-every
way better than the letters of those
who, with all the grammar grinding IN
the world, have not this intimate famil-
iarity with the language and the style of
the best writers.
