BRICK PAVING FOR CHAPLINE
STREET,

1t seems to be the impression that
the advocates of brick paving for the
streets of this city are urging the use OF
the common building brick. AT least the
opponents of brick paving seem to think
that the ordinary brick used for build
ing purposes is the only brick to be con-
sidered.
This is not less unreasonable than to
say, when an argument is made for the
use of stone, that it is sandstone that is
in issue.
We have not thought it necessary, in
our frequent reference to the use OF
brick for street paving, to explain that
there are other kind of brick, Of differ
ent size, shape and solidity from the
ordinary building brick. Though the
latter has been used, and with satisfac-
tory results, in Charleston. The best
street in that city is paved with 1t, and
SO well has it served the purpose after a
test of several years that other streets
of Charleston are to be paved with it.
The fact is that ordinary building brick
are better and cheaper paving mate
rial than cobble- stone.
But when we have referred to the
use of a brick paving We have discussed
the subject on the supposition that if it
were undertaken on an extensive plan
in this city there would be brick mold
ed and burned for that special purpose.
1t might be made as large as granite
block. Ii might be made as deep as the
Nicholson wood block. In short, it
might be made as easily of one size and
shape as another. We call it brick SIM
ply because it il made Of the material Of
bricks. If is any clearer to say it is a
block of hard clay or imitation of stone,
made durable by a skilful mixture of
certain kinds of fire clay and sandstone,
after the manner of tile, and Of shape
that will adapt it to street paving, then
that explanation is now made.
We may add further, that such ma
terial has been determined by scientific
tests to be next to granite asto hardness
and durability. There is no question
but that it would outwear any paving
material in use except granite. We
have, heretofore, set forth the actual
tests that established this fact.
Why, therefore, we cannot have at
least, test of the matter on the streets
of Wheeling, where We are 80 much in
need of a good paving material, and
where We are so averse to an e&pensiS g
material, We cannot say. There seems
to be no solid reason against the test,
unless it be that our fOrefathers did not
use bricks on the streets, and it
would be q modern innovation
We venture to say that test will es-
tablish that it is the cheapest paving
material ever tried; that it is the most
durable of any, save granite, that has
ever been tried; and that it is the
smOOthest, most satisfactory pave
ment ever tried-granite not accepted.
II the property-hOllers of Chapline
street will take hold Of this matter and
make the experiment they will do
themselves and the city great service
and ultimately thank the REGISTER
for a somewhat pertinacious attention

Mr.. TALMAGE is about right when
lie says the great want of the day is
practical religion-a religion that will
correctly label goods; that will prevent
a man telling you watch was made
in Geneva when il was made in MasSa-
chusetts; that will keep the ground
glass and the sand out of sugar; TINT
will sift out the Prussian blue from the
tea leaves; that will separate the one
quart of Ridgewood water from the one
honest drop of cows milk.
He seems to think practical
religion will remedy all this, cast
out hypocrisy, upset shoddy, and make
deeency, honesty, and truth dominant.
He is certain 1t will come down with
heavy hand on fashionable society, and
correct the iniquities that now exist in
it. Among these iniqmties, Mr.. TAIL
MAGE asserts, is the not uncommon in
toxication of fashionable women.
Society says she was taken Suddenly
i'll of the German. The fact is she took
too much champagne and mixed
liquors and got drunk" Interesting
pictures these Mr.. TALMAGE draws.

POLITICAL POINTS.

CONGRESSMAN KAssoS, of Iowa, says his
ticket for 1884 is Edmunds and Lincoln.
THE Pennsylvania Greenback State Com
mittee announce q State Convention at
williamsport on August 80.
GEORGE HEARsr, the unsuccessful Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor Of California,
is mentioned as the coming Democratic
candidate 70! the United States Senate.
A BRrEy dispatch from Yankton, D. T.,
saws: THE Grand Jury has been dis
missed, 1t is certain that a number OF
members of the Legisla ture have been in
dictea for bribery.
IT is an interesting fact that out OF
tventy.one Presidents nine have at some
time in their career resigned as United
States Senators. Messrs. Hendricks and
Mcdonald did not resign.
GENERAL DEvESs, now a State Judge,
tells his friends that he must not be con-
sidered among the candidates for Governor
+ in Massachusetts. He prefers to retain his
position on the bench.
THE annual Republican convention OF
Pennsylvania is to be held July II, and
Senator Don Cameron sails for Europe May
10. Mr.. Cameron says he is out Of politics,
and his friends argue that his going abroad,
Just as the campaign opens, proves it.
A RECENT canvass of the Presidential
preferences of the Republican members OF
the Pennsylvania House showed this re-
suit: Blaine, 43; Edmunds, 81; Lincoln,
3; Grant, 2; Sherman, /; W. D. Kelley, Il
Blaine or Edmunds 1 +; Blaine or Lincoln,
/; Harrison or Edmunds, l; undecided, TO-
absent, 4.
RETURNS from the Kentucky primaries
for the election of delegates to the Demo-
cratic State Convention, soon to be held,
show out Of 744 delegates about 200 for
Proctor Knott for Governor, slightly less
number for Thomas L. Jones, with General
Buckaer next. The election occurs on the
first Monday in August.
Mr.. +. w. BIRD writes to the Boston
Journal: Governor Andrew was inaugu-
rated on Saturday, the 5.h day OF January,
1861. 1t is curious fact, by the way, that,
though the legislature was ready for the
Inauguration on Friday, yet that strong,
great man refused 70 take the oath on that
day of i'll omen, and the services were
postponed until Saturday"

THAT was good specimen of Jersey
justice that might be profitably copied,
which discovered a burglar on Satur-
day and had him safe in the peniten-
tiary the next Thursday on term of
eight-years service. That is what
might be called railrosding a criminal
to prison, and the example is a good
one. In the above case there was no
delay, no straw bail, no change of
venue, no experimenting but swift,
memorable juctice.

NONE of the counsel for the defense
in the Star Route case want more than q
qrcek, each, to speak. a week is q

a speech. Life is not 80 short. There
are only seven to speak, and that makes
only the little matter of seven weeks of
speech-making. When that is over
the prosecution will take a turn. In
the course Of two or three months a jul

both predicting Democratic victOry,it

ThanksaluIna lnIhe Comm.

By Invitation we attended a
Thanksgiving party In the new
school house in District No. "a, three
miles south Of Sallna. We arrived
on the ground shortly before noon
and found a goOdly number already
there and more coming. The school
house Is just finished Il Is 20 feet by
30, with an anterOOm 6x9O, leaving 30E
"A feet for s0hoOlrOOm. Itis furnished
with seats by Braniff & Cravens, and
Is built expressly for the comfort OF
the pupils, costing over $500. IL Is
eeiled both inside and outside with
flooring, with the additiOnlon the out
side of heavy felt paper and siding.
and painted white on the outside and
tinted on the inslde--a model Of con
venienee and beauty aud reflects
credit on the District and also on the
builders, Messrs. NorthTOp & Poole.
We found active preparations for din
ner going on, which was announced
about 1880. Before dinner the house
was formally dedicated to the cause Of
education In short discourse by Prof.
Hillman, replete with good thoughts
showing the Professor to be a ripe
scholar. After the address he offered
prayer, when dinner was declared
ready-and such q dinner-we can
not do it justice. We never before be-
lleved in q table grOanlng under the
weight Of good things-we do now.
We think about seventy-live persons
took dinner, with enough to feed as
many more. Ifa good dinner Is any
evidence Of gratitude Magnolia dis
trict Is the most thankful nelghbOr-
hood ii has been our fortune TO be in
for years. We all united In wishing
Thanksgiving day would come once a
week. Among the men most active,
we might mention Mr.. Hagler, and
Mr.. Farrar, members Of the Board,
and all the ladies. 10 will be q day
