In Bourbon county, the last dirt
road is now being macadamized.. It
is now about thirty years since the
policy of county aid to turnpikcs was
inaugurated there. 1t has been fol-
lowed steadily and successfully ever
since, and now that county has the
best roads in the State. II is the
turnpikes more than the railroads
even that have made lands in that
county average so high price. Rail-
roads lose half their usefulness in
counties where they are approachable
only by roads that are bad every time
it rains, and impossible during most
of the winter. There are good sized
towns in this State, railroad towns at
that, where wagons mire in the street
in winter, and which country freight
can not enter or leave for weeks at a
time in bad weather. This is tre-
mendous burden robustness and a
heavy tax on the farming interests.
A system Of good turnpike roads or
good, well-drained dirt roads will
double the value Of land in any coun-
ty that will provide them, though in
great part of the State material for
making good macadamized or gravel
road is abundant and cheap. If stone
or gravel is not accessible good
drainage will keep dirt road from
becoming miry. The worst rains
will effecta road so drained a little,
while. 1t will be in good travelling
order in a few hours after the rain is
over. Ht
There is no other improvement SO
much needed in Kentucky as good
county reads. They will double the
utility of the railroads to those coun-
ties that have railroads, and they will
double the value Of the lands Of any
county that will make them. The
example of Bourbon and other coun-
ties show that such roads can be con-
structed throughout a county with
out unduly burdening the people,
All that is needed is the will to i'm
prove. The way has been pointed
out.-Louisville Commercial.

Mrs. Jones a Jewel.

A singular instance of the recovery
Of lost property has just come to light,
Shortly after the appeal was made
for supplies for the flood sufferers, a
family lying on Sixth, out beyond
Oak street, sent the Relief Committee
quantity of clothing. Among the
articles was the cloak of a little girl,
the youngest daughter of the family,
and after it was sent away she re-
membered that a fine silk handker-
chief was in one of the pockets. 1t
was too late for it to be recovered,
and somewhat to the young owners
regret no effort was made. About
this time also valuable diamond
ring was missed by one of the young
ladies of the family, and though
search was made for it high and low
no trace was ever found of the missing
jewel. The young lady was incon-
solablc but the gem was restored in
novel manner. Soon after the cloak
had been sent away an advertisement
appeared in one of the local papers
stating the little girls name and say
ing that if she would call on Mrs.
Jones, on Preston street, she would
hear of something to her advantage.
Thinking it was something about the
lost handkerchief, the child called at
the address given in the advertise
ment, and much to her surprise the
diamond ring was restored. 1t seems
she had slipped it in to her pocket,
and becoming cntanglcd in the folds
of the handkerchief it had lain there
undiscovered until it had come into
the possession of Mrs. Jones. The
family restoring II had lost their all
by the flood, a circumstance which
makes the prompt restoration of the
valuable more commendable. Such
instances of genuine honesty are I'M

A man with red haid entered a
railroad car at the Union depot in St.
Joseph, No., the other day and took
his seat. A moment later another
man with fiery top-not and vermil-
ion whiskers came in and sat down
beside him. They looked at each 9TH
er, but said nothing until third
traveller with scarlet crest appeared
upon the scene. Then the youngest
of the trio arsse and remarked, to the
general amusement that he would do
what he could to prevent the confla-
grafton in case of accident by riding
in another car. He was on his way
to the door when, amid q roar of
laughter that shook the windows, a
fourth passenger with a head like a
beacon light famed into
the isle. Then the quartet sat down
together, and made so much fun for
the rest of the passengers that every
body was sorry when one after anoth-
er-they got out at their respective sta
tons each leaving the car preceptibly

shirt, right where he said he was hit,
and pa was telling US what to do to
settle his estate, when ma began to
smell the linimcnt, and she found
the broken bottle in his pocket, and
searched pa for the place where he
was stabbed, and then she begun to
laugh, and pa got mad and said he
didn't see as death-bed scene was
such an almighty funny affair, and
then she told him he was not hurt,
but that he had fallen on the stairs
and broke his bottle, and that there
was no blood on him, and he said,
do you mean to tell me my body and
legs are not bathed in human gore,
and then pa got up and found it was
only the liniment. He got mad and
asked ma why she didn't fly around
and get something to take that lini-
mcnt off his legs, as 1t was eating
them right through to the bone, and
then he saw my chum put his head
in the door, with one gallus hanging
down, and pa looked at me and then
he said, Iookaherc, if / find out it
was you boys that put up this job on
me, I'll make it so hot for you that
you will think liniment is ice-cream
in comparison told pa it didn't
look reasonable that me and my chum
could be six burglars, six feet high
with our nose broke, and boot heel
marks on our neck, and pa he said
for US to go to bed ALFRED quick,
aud give him chance to rinse OF
that linimcnt, and we retired. Say,
how does my pa strike you as a good
single-handed liar?" and the boy
went up to the counter while the
grocery man went after scuttle Of
coal. -. s.
In the mean time, one of the groce-
ry mans. best customers, deacon In
the church, had come In and sat
down on the counter, over the darn
ing needle, and as the grocery man
came in with the coal the boy pulled
the string, and went out doors and
tipped over basket of rutabagas,
while the deacon got down off the
counter with his hand clasped, and
anger in every feature, and told the
grocery man he could whip him in
two minutes. The grocery man
asked what was the matter, and the
deacon hunted up the source from
whence the darning needle came
through the counter, and as the boy
went across the street the deacon and
the grocery man were rolling on the
floor, the grocery man trying to hold
the dcacon's fists while he explained
about the darning needle, and that 1t
was intended for the boy. How ii
come out the boy did not wait to see.

A Comedy Of Errors.

A ludicrous Incident recently took
place in Liverpool. There are two
brothers who parted many years ago,
when boys, one of them going to
America to seek his fortune and the
other remaining in Liverpool to
make it. They have both been emf
nently successful in this respect, and
not long ago the brother in America
determined to visit the brother in
England. The time of the visit was
set by correspondence, and the Amer
lean set sail. The Englishman is
notorious wag, and arranged that an
acquaintance should meet the ac-
quaintance as his brother and con-
duct him to the hotel. The Ameri-
can who was also great wag, on
the trip decided to play the same
joke on his brother, asking an ac-
quaintanco whom he had met on the
ship to personate him for few
hours. The acquaintance entered
into the spirit of the joke, and when
the vessel arrived at Liverpool was
found by the personator Of the Eng
lish brother and driven to the hotel.
The real American brother followed
more leisurely, chuckling over. his
joke.
In the meanwhile the English
brother had also gone to the hotel,
bursting with merriment over his
joke. 1t happened that the two real
brothers met in the lobby Of the no.
tel, and, though they had been parted
for SO many years, they knew each
other.
AT first with blank amazement,
they greeted each other; and then, as
they explained their mutual jokes,
laughed long and heartily. But the
climax was yet to be reached. An
explanation in regard to the gentle
man who had personated them, and
who were now, as they imagined,
playing huge joke on each other,
showed also that they were brothers
who had been separated from boy
hood, bnt who did not know each
other when they met.
The first pair of brothers hurried
up to their parlor, and after the stu
alton had been explained all around
the comedy Of errors was pleasantly
ended by an old-fashioned English
dinner.

A Thrilling Experience.

PITTsBURG, MARCH 13.-Passen-
gers on the westbound express train
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad had a
thrilling experience up in the noun
tains, eighty miles east of this city.
This morning shortly after 5 o'clock,
as the train was nearing Wetmore
Station, and running at high rate
of speed, the sleeping car was dis
covered to be on fire. Every berth
was occupied by passengers, who
were asleep, but they were aroused
by the cry of fire. Immediately all
was confusion, an the occupants
jumped out to find the car envel-
oped In flames. A dozen different
parties ran to the doors, but finding
the train still in motion, they pulled
the bell cord. Owing to the right
signal not being given, however the
engineer paid no attention to it until
1t had been pulled several times. In
the meantime the widest excitement
prevailed and the passengers ran
hither and thither, not knowing
what to do. Several ladies tainted
and number were with difficulty
restrained from jumping off The
fire spread rapidly from the rear, and
although about two minutes were
consumed by the passengers in their
flight from the illfated coach, half q
minute later it was mass of seeth-
ing flame. The fire streamed through
several windows which had been
opened at the first alarm, and burst
out into the night air and gained vol
ume in the sharp frosty air which
blew up the mountains. OF the
twenty-six. passengers who had occu-
pied the burned car twenty were
gentlemen, four were ladies and the
other two were children. Among
those who were in the car were
General Dudley, United States pen.
sion agent; General Calkins, member
Of Congress from Indiana; Colonel
Ben. Wilson, member of congress
from West Virginia; Colonel w. +
Dawson, of Beaver; Postmaster Por
ter, of Connellsville; Il. W. Allen, OF

ers, lost all, or nearly all their person

Something New.

A novel contest took place in Chi
cago short time since, the first one
of the kind we have ever heard of.
1t was between an Irishman named
Philip Cunif and a Scotchman named
John Anderson, as to which could
outsmoke the other. The wager was
$25 dollars. The number of pipes
full to be smoked was thirty. Time
II hours.
They began at 10 o'clock in the
morning. Cunif chose for his smok-
ing medium dark long leaf tobacco,
with an ordinary clay pipe. Ander-
son chose a medium light colored
plug, with French clay pipe. The
charge Of tobacco for pipe was 80
grains. 1t took them from 20 to "a
minutes to smoke pipe full. Cunif
started off with great energy, and for
two hours piled the tobacco in his
pipe at the rate of So grains every 20
minutes. Then he rested a. little !;
and at the end of the fifth hour he
took longer rest. AT 8 o'clock he
took supper and a rest of 81 minutes.
Anderson did not start off so rapid
ly. He did not boast of his speed !;
his strong point was bottom. His
first six pipe-fulls were consumed in
"a minutes each, when he rested 5
minutes and so he continued for
hours, when he again rested for 5
minutes. At six o'clock he also stop
ped to take supper.
After supper they started again "as
fresh as ever" Cunif was in fine
spirits. He thought any fellow
could smoke thirty pipes of tobacco
in twelve hours. But by-and-by II
occurred to him that his mouth did
not taste good. He called for water
and rinsed it out, but still something
was wrong. He said the tobacco wa,
bad, but he loaded up and com
menccd on his twentieth pipe.
Anderson also, after his supper
started off in good condition. II,
took his time, but was very steady

Cuniff continued vigorously, bu

mouth was wrong or his tobacco wal
bad. He rinsed his mouth ant
