PAVING WITH PEBBLES.
Some HydrOIith Experiments on
Adams Street.

The Adams street pavement is a
dreary exposition Of the hydrolitb
pavement idea. When it YVES first
laid one of the city officials stood Cd
the curb, and gazing admiringly upon
the expsuse of red gravel, descanted
in glowing terms upon its superiority
over all other paVements. Just
wait until it rains" he said, "aud all
these pebbles and particles of sand
will cohere and form a solid pavement
as smooth as a 6oor. There will
be no dust and no mud, for
every rain will wash it as clear as the
floor Of q New England kitchen.
There will be no use fo- stepping
stones on this street, and it will, on
that very account, be one of the
prettiest drives about the city. Just
you wait and watch for the first rain"
And everybody waited and watched
for that pavement to concrete, but il
didn't do it. II got muddier and
sloppier, until it looked like a dish Of
tomato soup. 1t was easy enough
to tell by looking at a mans boots
| whether he came from north or sonth
Of Adams street. In the spring the
young mud's fancy lightly turned to
thoughts of dust and was shoveled W
and carted away. 1t was replaced
from Second street to High with
broken stone, and from Main to SEQ.
ond with pebbles spread on about q
foot thick. Tho part covered with
broken stone will make a good street
but the other won't answer in spite
Of the fact that the foundation stone
was dug up, in order to let the pebbles
take root. The loose pebbles, most o.
which are as round as marbles, roll
from under the wheels OF vehicles anC
feet of horses, and it is almost impos
sible for man to make his way across
the street. Now they are spreading
sand and mud over the pebbles, in tht
hope that they will finally settls
down.

Hearing calls for help in the after

Hard to Prove.

A poor little, black, skinny, weak
kneed darby, whose eyeballs rolled like
the yelks Of eggs in a saucer, vas
leaned up against the rail to-day, to
answer a charge, preferred by a negro
girl, named Carrie Mcdonald. She
accused him of betraying her, and de-
clared hal unless he was made to
give bond to pay a certain amount,
the founding asylum would have
another mouth to feed. Lewis had a
lawyer to do his talking for him, and
Carrie also had coun
sci. The attorney for the defense
who had a stack of legal authorities
high enough for his client to hide be-
hind, moved to quash the indictment
on the ground hat it was a civil, and
not a criminal proceeding. The at
torney on the other side read an
extract from the "Constables' Guide
not a guide TO virtue-which he
declared made Boyd's offense a crimi-
nal one.
Then some discussion arose as to
the stage at which a charge Of the kind
could be preferred, the kind of proof
necessary to establish guilt, and finally
the woman declared she had changed
her mind and did not want to prose-
cute, and the case was dismissed.
