The carrying out Of the
work Of Repair.

At the yearly General Repairs the
aim must be to put the roads into
such a condition that they may fulfil
the requirements set forth III the
foregoing paragraphs.
The repairs are to commence with
the clearing out of the bitches and
deepening them till they acquire the
correct outline in the crOsS-Section and
also the requisite fall i'll the direction
of their length; at the same time all
stone drains aud underground chan
nelS are to be cleaned Out and repair
ed. The stuff brought up by this
cleaning must not be used on the o a
without permission Of the road authO-
rites, but must be Immediately carted
away if placed on the fields by the
roadside with permission Of the owner
concerned, it must not be within 10
feet from the ditch. Care must be
taken in cleaning ont the bitches not
to reduce the width of the tract of
land belonging to the road.
The roadway is to be cleaned by
wedding and the removal of all kinds
of refuse, and the surface is to be
formed in the manne described in l.
When the width of the road Will
permit, gravel and stones are to be
procured and placed in regular heaps
along one side of the road should the
material be too large it must be
, 1884-06-07
B. Road Materials.

The roadway, that is TO say the whole
breadth of the road between the
bitches, ought tn be covered with Il
sufficient layer of good road mate
rial.
When the roadway has to he built
up afresh, so to say, on account OF the
repairs having been for a long while
neglected, the under surface on which
the structure is to be laid is often
rugged and uneven.-First of all III
such a case the larger holes must be
filed up with small pieces Of hard
stone Of the kinds mentioned further
on and afterwards IN even surface
may be produced by covering the road
in its whole breadth with a layer
of clay we'll mixed with gravel orSharp
sand. In this way a S~ub-StruCtule IS
formed for the reception Of the cover
ing which is Il sustain the actual
wear-and-tear, which covering in the
case of the better kept roads can be
laid down without making any such
sub-Structnre.
For the a0ear and tear layer V e the
whole breadth Of the road on the roads
Of lesser Importance, as well as on
little used by-rOadS, ordinary sharp
hill QynJeL may be used and fragments
Vr dtcomposing rocks and the like,
also, though less desirable, shore
graveI; for the more important roads.
on the other hand, both main roads
and much used by-roads, the driving
way itself, to a breadth Of at least IA
feet for main roads and Of at least
III feet for ~by-r0ads, must be formed
as far aS possible of a lager Of natural
or Grtifcially broken fragments Of granite
Or some Other hard kind OF stone.
1t is important that the fragments
should not he too large; in a layer Of
stones which is made 4 10 8 inches
thick the fragments used at the bottom
may have a thickness mp to : to y
inches, but it is then necessary that
they should be covered by smaller
fragments, the part Of the layer which
comes into contact with the vehicles
should consist only OF fragments whose
greatest thickness does not exceed u
inches. The use Of larger pieces is
destructive alike to the roads and to
the vehicles.
1t is advantageous to mix the above
named sharp materials a h'tie, but
not too much, with a binding medium
such as fragments Of limestone or
bricks, decOmpOSinG stone can as be
used for this purpose; Oh the other
hand limestone should not, where II
can be avoided, be used alone on roads
carrying much traffic, on account OF
the di>agrreable duSt which is thereby
caused. Tho thickness which should
be given to the w~ear-and,tear layer
depends on the amount Of wear ind
tear which takes place on the roads,
it ought, however, never to be less
than 3 inches.
Materials such as sandy soil, soft
clay, mould, mud and similar SubStan-
ces must never be put upon the
roads.

Ordinance 5 1O.)
The Securing Of good drainage.

In order to facilitate the drainage the
surface both Of the main-rOads and the
by.roads should he slightly arched,
and there should be a ditch on each
side. AS a general rule, the roadway
should he, in the main roads 3 to
inches, in the by.roadS 2 10 3 inches
higher in the middle than at the inner
edge of the ditch. An exception, how
ever, must be made in the case OF n
road passing along q hill side and
having a steep slope on one side.
In this case tue whole roadway should
incline a little inwards, and along The
innerm0st side there should be a ditch
for carrying off he water, on the other
hand no ditch is in such case required
on the outer side of the road.
The dimensions Of the bitches along
the road sides should be so proportions
ed that they can carry off the water,
and with this view those along the
main roads should, as Il rule, have a
breadth Of 2 feet at the bottom and a
depth of from 2 to p feet below the
roadway, along the by-rOadS a breadth
of foot at the bottom and Il depth of
from ii to 2 feet below the roadway.
The sides of the bitches should he
so sloped that they can without
difficulty preserve their contour,
which in general requires a slope III
the proportion of l TO l, unless they
are cut out in a rocky bottom, in which
case the sides may be sleeper.
The bitches ought 70 have a fall
%lengthwise towards the natural lines
of drainage of the land, the fall ought
to follow The fan of the road itself, but
in level stretches of road the ditch
should have an independent fall Of
about foot in 800 feet Tor inch i'll
% feet).
Where the natural lines of drainage
-SzoEs the roads tAe%SssG:!d be, unless
the circumstances require d bridge,
either a stone drain under the road or
q paved water courS over the road
way itself.
It is of the greatest Importance that
the channels referred to, whether under
or over the road, should be of sufficient
dimensions to carry off the largest
quantity of water that IA be expected
to come through them, as otherwise
the keeping up of the road at these
places will become very difficult and
costly, if not impossible.
For constructing the particular
works mentioned no rules can here
be given, they ought in each indivi-
dual case tobe carried out under proper
technical guidance and with due regard
to the local circumstances.
Should the natural line Ofdrainaee lie
on n side of the road only, the ditch
on the other side should he put in
connection with it, which as a rule is
best done by means of q stone drain.
The bitches ought neve to be inter
rupted by roadways passing over
them, unless the roadway has a drain
through it Of sufh Gent size to carry
away the water.

Every one is from his own expert
ence or from his reading familiar with
the principal phases of mental dis
ease in the form of intellectual in
sanity, or disorders of the intellectual
faculties. Other forms CT mental
mslady, though quite as destructive
of that equilibrium which constitutes
entire sanity OF mind, are practically
unknown to the general public.
Thomas DeQaincy the English
Opium eater" affords an illustration
OF grave impairment Of will power,
while the intellectual faculties re-
NAMED intact. Another noted in.
stance OF this curious loss OF balance
between the several mental faculties
is seen in the life of Samuel Taylor
Colerige, "the old man eloquent"
In the former case there was absolute
inability to execute any purpose; in
the latter there was loss OF all power
of ccordinating and concentrating
the thoughts upon any subject. In
the present work the phenomena of
will-lmp airment are fully explained
with abundant illustrations from the
history of these and many other cele'
brated cases.

ATTACKING GRANT.

In the House Of Representatives
on Saturday, Representative CUT
cheon. OF Michigan, Was guilty of
conduct that should bring down
upon him the scorn and contempt Of
all his fellow members,as it will Ger.
tainIy rouse the indignation Of the
country. In his effort to defeat
justice in the case Of General Fitz.
John Porter, Cutcheon baseiy and
cowardly assaulted the character and
honesty of the Republican war idol,
General Grant. By plain imputa-
tion, he charged that Grant has been
induced to change his mind with
reference to Porter by bribery
or the hope of corrupt reward;
in other words that the
General had stultifled himself,
and seld his manhood and honor to
the Democrats, not for price, but
with the hope to buy his reinstate-
ment to the army and retirement
upon a handsome salary. A baser
accusation against Grant has never
been made by his bitterest enemies
among Democrats, and yet the
charge was applauded by Repub-
lican Representatives. Cutcheon
has made a bad beginning in Con-
gress, and if his career in the House
is not confined to the single term for
which he has been elected, his con-
stituents will show themselves as
depraved and devoid Of honor as
he is.
