The Road Question.

10 The Editor Of the Vindicator, SIR :
Will you kindly permit me, through the
medium OF your paper, TO say few words
on this subject. Having noticed that the
road questions one, in which you take par
ticular interest, feel that perhaps a few
lines from me. taking an Englishman S
view ot-the matter, might not be unaccept-
able to your readers.
With the exception Of the McAdamlzed
road to Harrisonburg, l have not yet seen
a really good road in your State. A lead
ing line Of railway serves greatly to open up
the country through which it passes
railway, the next great desiderata are
good roads. The farmers and merchants
pf Virginia are, | must acknowledge, in
most points, the equals, if not the superb
ors in intelligence and sllrewdness to those
OF England, but, GA ane point, they are
far behind, and that is Oh the natter of
roads.
1t is really lamentable to see four good
strong horses tackled to a wagon contain
ing probably not more than a load OF one
ION weigh, pulling and striving to get it
through that terrible slough OF mire and
mud, 1nislla1ed road. Why, in Eng
land, where I Always kept several horses,
seldom if ever did a single one 60 out with
Il load nluGn ulln6G bWO lOiia!
How heavily do the farmers and mer~
chants tax themselves in not having proper
roads ? Horses are strained and jaded I'M
necessarily, wagons and buggies are dislo-
Gated and smashed: of course, indirectly
CHE merchants and consumers have to pay
Oh INCREASED carriage, their proportion OF
this indirecs E9ad tax.
The grade OF q Eoad is a most importan
item in its formation. But, even with
good grade, if the bottom be not kept dry,
the road cannot stand.
have frequently looked with astonish-
ment ut the state of some OF the leading
roads in your cvgnty, on which, it proper
and cheap system OF drainage had been car
red out, a vast Improvement might be
made In England almost all puI,ic roads
are McAqamized. To McAdamize road
is not the very expensive matter PEG
pie generally suppose it to be. An at
Eenpt has lately been made 60 McAdamlZe
{, portion of the Churchyilie road leading
from Augusta street to the Donaghe en-
trance of the new fair grounds. Many
tons OF small broken metal were placed in
the bottom, to be trOdden deep aoWn u the
mud and clay by passing wagons. Ihls
was reckless extravaganza; The Wnote Of
this road should have been Fshand pitched
with the large stones, (unbfokensl and
over them should have been thrown light
coating of the broken metal: VI course
beseore either of these operations had been
ceenaapssd, arrangements should have
been maaa ssoy the drainage and rainfall.
This letter has gEown to a greater length
than 1 had anticipated but if it be your
wish. will at future day eGlar more full
ly INTO this subject.
am sir, most obediently yours,
HIGH STEWART.

What are the Changers ?

Editor Of Vi1,dicatoT Some say they
intend to set their own prices on every farm
product to break down merchants; to
quit the mechanic they are a political Or
CARNATIONS to destroy the Conservative
party Of the South and a thousand other
such groundless charges. They aim at
nothing of the kind. They are an order
of self protection, to throw themselves dl-
recly into communication with the manu-
facturer-thus each dealing with response
BILE parties, the manufacturer and the
farmer: making cash transactions; to pur-
chase by VIII olesale, thus saving a heavy
discount, and tire enormous percentage
given usually to agents, in this way ena-
bling many to make purchases that other
wise could not. Why not allow the work
ing farmer to make his bargains as well as
others 1t is his natural right, to buy
what he wants where he pleases. Give him
the same privilege to save his small accu-
mutations. that the millionaire has to hoard
his millions. People too often forget the
obvioustruth, that the germ of all the wealth
and power and grandeur, they see around
them. comes from the fiat of omnipotence
that man should ''till the ground from
whence he WAS made" and that all our
marvellous civilization depends directly
upon agricultural industry for its perpetu-
ity and development. Yet such is the fact.
1t lies at the very foundation Of social or
der, and forms the basis of every other
profitable pursuit that can possibly engage
the energies Of mankind. You have SIM
ply to reflect, to know that nine tenths Of
all the material upon which the artlzan
and manufacturer exercise their craft, IS
the product Of agricultural labor. The
Changers do not ignore the value of the
legitimate offspring Of agriculture, the in
dustries of manufacture and commerce.
Nor, is there any necessity. as some casn-
al thinkers have supposed. On the con-
trary, when left undsturbed, they exhibit
a harmony as beautiful and perfect, and
as exact in its results as that which marks
the movements of the planetary system.-
Do not charge it as political order, when
It's National Constitution published abroad
to every one, strictly forbids, by organic
law, any political or religious motives to
influence it. If you do not understand
what the Changers are, do not allow your
prejudices to be excited by ignorance,
rather than to reason upon it. The order
OF Patrons is a remarkable order. 1t has a
remarkable history. 1t extends over this
vast republic. Its rapid growth has ex-
ceeded the widest hopes Of its most san
guine friends. 1t has a well arranged and
satisfactory working system of govern
ment, with definite and honestly avoWed
aims, and the means of obtaining those
aims. It's number is increasing by many
thousands week. There are nearly fifty
Oranges now in Virginia.

A LITTLE STORY ABOUT Mrs. CIIIrf-
JUSTICE WAITE.-In Cincinnati they tell
a little story about Mrs. Chief-Just
Waite. About a month ago, before Gene
raj Grant had preached Mr.. Waite's name
to the Senate-though General Hillyer says
MI. Waite was always General Grants
first cholce-but before anything was
thought of the matter by the Waites-
Mrs. Waite wrote an article on cookery for
the Cincinnati ''Gazette.' The article
was signed Yankee Cook Girl" 1t was
full of sound suggestions on the cookery
question, and replete with good advice TO
housekeepers. The article from the Yam
kee Cook Grip arrested SO much attention
that finally rich old widower i'll Cincin-
natl, wrote to Sam. Reed, the editor, that
he would be glad to give the "Yankee
Cook Grip a situation-not as a servant,
but she might preside over his household;
In fact, he offered marriage. Mr.. Reed
had to answer in a paragraph that the
Yankee Cook Grip was not in the mar
ket, she having got situation in neigh
boring city. The people of Cincinnati
don't know even now that the yankee
Cook Grip was Mrs. Waite, the sensible
and practical wife of the new Chief JUS
tice, and. that her new situation is to be
the highest in the land-chief mistress in
Uncle Sans household of law and justice.

A GHOST STORY VoUCHED FOR BY A
DOCTOR OF DIVINITY The Lexington,

story, which is the experience of a Doctor
of Divinity, formerly OF Rockbridge, and
related by him:
'sWhile I was living in Southern city,
OF rather in the suburbs of it, | rode into
town every morning on horseback, about
nine O'Clock, to get my mail and then leis-
urely returned, scanning the daily papers,
In the neighborhood OF my residence was
the dwelling of a gentleman who was in
business in the city and rode in every day.
We rarely missed meeting in large grove
that lay between our houses and the town.
When we came up in the road we always
stopped and | told him the news from the
papers. One morning | saw him coming
OF horseback, as usual, and when some
! yards in front, he rode out of the way so as
TO have large tree between us, and, as |
| passed, he continued at the same pace, so
| as to keep the tree between us still. When
l got home | said that my friend had been
| at prank that morning, and related the
| circumstances. My wife then told me
| what | did not know at that time, that lie
was not at home, but had gone to Texas
| About week after this occurrence went
over to his house and related the story to
a lady-an aunt of his-who had charge OF
| his house i'll his absence. She was greatly
agitated at the story. I was amazed at
her intense emotion. She told he that hel
cook had been in the same piece of woods
to get some dry limbs to make quick fire
for some baking purposes on the same ddg

returned to the house greatly alarmed
