democrats, being unable to whip the big
republican party, had undertaken to jump

Australian Wine.

Australian wine is yea after year incrcas.
ing In quantity and improving in quality.
1t will soon become one of tho principal ex-
ports of that country. A few years ago a
commission was appointed in Melbourne,
consisting OF experts, who were specially
required to personally superintend all the
operations of the vintage, from the first stage
OF picking grapes TO the full stage
OF wine.making. These gentlemen
were quite above any suspicion
of being interested in the result,
one way or the other. II was ascortained
that the wines produced from the valley of
the Murray, and from other similarly warm
districts, generally ranged much above
twenty.six degrees, and very frequently as
high us thirty degrees and thirty.two de-
grees Of alcoholic strength. The explana.
tioi was simple enough. The abundance
o saccharine matter developed IN grapes
grown under the Australian sun gives cor
responding strength to the wine; and from
grapes grown In these warmer districts IL
is scarcely possible to produce wine which
falls within twenty-six degrees.

A BoIs D'ARC PAVING ON ELM STREET

A number of our more public-spirited
business men and property-holders ON Elm
street, between Market and Sycamore
streets, have been canvassing the plan Oh
putting down a bois dare wooden street
pavement, and thus making durable ana
permanent improvement on this important
avenue. The plan, as far as developed is
to use sandstone curbing and cutters, and
then put down the bois dare round blocks,
six inches thick, on a foundation of rolled
and compacted gravel eight inches thick.
MAJOR ToMpKINs has ordered ten-ton
roller to compact the gravel, and parties
are corresponding with the railroads to get
freight rates on the sandstone and the bois
dare wood This most desirable style OF
street paving being noiseless ana
dustless, and almost imperlshable,
will be a credit to our city,
and will be built this summer
Upon this subject CITy-ENGNEER JOHNSON
has the following letter from COLONEL HEN
RY FLAD, of st. Louis; "In reply to your
favor of May Goth, beg leave to state that
we have some bois dare, or Usage orange,
laid on our streets, and that ] have also
subjected it to q severe test in our testing
machine for street pavements, and that 1T
withstands the crushing and abrading
forces produced by heavy rolling loads, re-
markedly well. If that wood re-
sists decay as l am informed it
does, it will undoubtedly furnish one
OF the best materials ever used Tor
street payements." Mr.. JOHNSON also has
the following from Mr.. WALTER KATIE
city-engineer of st. Louis: 81 have no
doubt that wooden pavement on SIX inch
gravel foundation will make an excellent
and very durable pavement. would su6-
gest however, that the gravel be well con-
solidated by rolling and water sprinkl'ng
before the wood is laid. 1t also occurs to
me that eight inches is unnecessarily deep
for the wooden blocks Of such nature as
bos dare. would think six or seven
inches quite sufficient The reputation of
COLONEL FLAD and WALTER KATIE as ex-
perienced civil engineers is a sufficient
recommendation TO this project. We are
glad thus to notice the commendable efforts
of some of our more progressive citizens in
a direction where more work is necessary
and greater outcomes are nationally to be
expected than in any other improvement
which could now be inaugurated, aud only
trust that this proposed work will be com
pleed and be speedily followed by even
greater.
