attained here In all countries the subsOil
is variable, and as drainage, to an extent
more or less according to existing circum-
stances, is the thing most desired for good
roads, a favorable result, comparable with
European roads, is therefore to be obtained
by good engineering and great care IN con-
struction. Various attempts were made
for more than hundred years to make
roads out Of small stones or broken bits of
granite. but all failed, until MacAdam
showed the way to good and lasting roads
MacAdam used granite, simply because
he had not at hand any ironized gravel,
such as can readily be obtained in New Or
leans. Granite chips make a very hard
road, but they take long time to harden
and become compact. Ironized gravel skill
fully laid down will bind and become COM
pact at once, and offer little resistance TO
the friction Of passing wheels. From Sir
John MacAdam himself have frequently
heard the advantages which a soil retaining
a certain amount of moisture like the soil
of New Orleans) presented for the Mac
Adam system; and as under the auspices Of
myself and others this plan OF road making
is about to be tested in this city, l have
jotted down these few "reminiscences and
explanations, thinking they might possibly
be Of interest to the readers of the BEPUE-

On Leave Of Absence.

Having obtained leave Of absence for ff-
teen days from Governor Kellogg, Judge E..
North Cullom left the city last evening for
his country home in Avoyelles parish.
whittier his wife and family had preceded
him. Judge Saucier has kindly consented
to perform the duties of the judge during
his absence. Judge Cullom is one of the
hardest working judges on our bench, as
well as one Of the ablest. His uniform
kindness to attorneys who appear before
him, his close application to business, his
unimpeachable integrity, and his fine ana
lytical mind, have drawn great deal more
business into his court than ever before.
During the past season his docket has been
always crowded, and he richly deserves the
little relaxation he is about to obtain among
the friends and neighbors Of his boyhood
We do not imply that his health is in any
way impaired by the close labor of the past
few months; far from it. Few men possess
better health, both physically and mental
ly, than Judge Cullom, and, if we mistake
not, the fame he is making for himself as
Judge of the Fifth District Court will force
him into enlarged fields of usefulness in
the future.

Grave Complications - Texas fl.

Barracks.
WASHINGTON, July 12-Francke Taylor,
the old bookseller, died to-day, aged sixty.
Secretary Belknap has returned.
1t is stated that the defalcatiOn Of HOra-
ito Jenkins, formerly an internal revenue
collector in Florida, will amount to about
$4,000. The government will lose about
$500.
The kidnapping of Lord George Gordon,
and the arrest of the kidnappers and their
trial, is leading to strange complications.
Gordon, it appears, was arrested on English,
soil by Americans, while those who seized
him were, under the new boundary deci-
sion, arrested by Canadians on American
soil.
A special dispatch from Minneapolis to
the Daily Wisconsin says: During the pro-
ceedings in the Gordon case at Fort Garry
yesterday legal papers in the possession of
Captain Hay were submitted to the court,
whereupon the legal point on which the
authority to arrest Gordon depended being
exposed, there was decided reaction in
public opinion among the Manitobans.
Immediately after the introduction of the
papers, and following his card to the pub
lie, Consul Taylor declared that the gravity
of the question involved the interests Of
both countries, and it would require all the
testimony which the defense is prepared to
show, should be admitted. and that as an
act Of international courtesy, Mr.. Wilson
should be heard during the examination.
Other advices state that the investigation
has brought out the fact that the American
prisoners were arrested south Of the new
boundary line, on American soil. This
will work new complications, although it
can not be yet surmised just what the effect
of the discovery will have in the future
proceedings.
Among the objects of the visit of Cover
nor Davis, of Texas, North at this time, is
the negotiation of 100000 of the bonds of
the State authorized by the last Legisla-
ture. It is stated on good authority that
the total bonded debt of Texas is but
81, 100000, while it's resources are unsur-
passed. The State has public domain of
S,S00,0OO acres. 1t is stated that 200, 900 souls
have been added to the population within
three years, while during the same time
over 700 miles Of railroad has been con-
structed and put into operation.
By direction of the President, Captain
Georges A. Purington and Captain Charles
D. Boyer, Ninth Cavalry, have been ordered
to duty as members of the general court
martial of which General Hatch is president
at Ringgold Barracks, Texas, for the trial OF
Lieutenants Charles L. Davis, Tenth In
fantry, and Henry T. Leggete, Twenty
forth Infantry.

she does not carry ont her threat. 1t is
feared even this precaution will not be suf-
fcient to save her life, if she is kept con.
fined there much longer.
+. She was very restless last evening, after
hearing that the police had captured her
trunk and obtained possession of Good
rich's property. Once or twice she begged
to be lett alone in the room. but her request
was not granted.
Some say that she is already insane, and
does not really know what she is talking
about. Others think she is only feigning
insanity under the advice of counsel, WHO
have long since been retained to defend her.
