Oblivion " is the title Of a new
book Just out. published by Henry
Holt d Co. and for sale at West, John
ston & Co. 5. Its author being a Yir-
ginian, we naturally took an interest in
II, and had made up our mind to wade
through at least three pages as tribute
to the sprouting genius Of the Old Do
minion. Before we had half accom-
plished the three pages we lad decided
to extend our acquaintance with the
book TO the end Of the first chapter,
and by the time we had reached that
point II would have taken a canDon-ball
TO rouse US. so intent were We on learn
ing the fate Of the fair LADY" and
the ltuTdy mountaineers so graphically
described. The book recalls very forci-
bly, Hugh Conway's Called Back, 90
which has had such an unprecedented
success, and is by no means unworthy
a comparison with Mr.. Fargus master
piece. The dialect is clever and faithful
TO nature, and the style peculiarly
strong and pithy, while for thrilling IN
terest and well-sustained plot we know
Of few books TO equal il. The talented
author is a young lady belonging to one
Of the oldest families Of Southside Nir-
ginia, and has already gained some
reputation as a clever writer of negro
dialect. but in this her first novel she
far excels any Of her former efforts,
and should she continue to pursue the
course so brilliantly begun Virginia
will have cause 70 be proud Of having
produced one Of the first noyellists Of
the day.

Elmira N. Y, is three hundred miles away
yet the roads in the farming towns about that
place appear to DO repaired very much az
here. Our new law should make some i'm
provement and we believe it has, but, for the
most part, the words of the Elmira Husband
man apply to us when it says:
"If farmers generally showed in the man.
agement OF private interests that astounding
stupidity which il displayed in making public
highways there would be no general business
thrift in this country, because good returns
for labor would be impossible. In making
highways in country districts, good common
business sense is in most Cases utterly lack
ing. It is common practice to scrape mud
out of bitches and place it on the beaten
track, which may have been passable before
but is abominable afterward. II frequently
happens that after the tax of road district
is worked out the roads are in far worse con-
dition than before they were touched. And
what il worse the character of the work often
compels poor condition for year or two af-
terward; that is to say, the whole road work
is employed to spoil the road. A good road
making machine displays more sense than the
ordinary pathmaster employs in directing his
men, The road machine will place the earth,
whether of poor or good quality, in proper
position, and leave II smooth, at least, which
is better than the ordinary result of road
working, particularly when mud or soft earth
is dumped in without pains to smooth il to an
even grade When roads are worked in this
way passing wheels press into the soft spots
and make them deeper, establishing close re-
semblance to the ancient corduroy made OF
logs Perhaps it ia not worth while to point
out faults of road making, for again and
again public attention has been called to them
with earnest pleading that higher skill be EN-
ployed in the most important work; yet al
thia has been without effect. The time may
come when road-making will be directed by
good sense-so will the millennium appear, bu
nobody knows when"

We once made an experiment by washing
out camel hair pencil in kerosene oil, and
also small fiat briste landscape brush.
They were laid away and avoided for several
months, and at length taken in hand for OK
animation, and we can state positively that
no brushes we're ever in better condition for
immediate use.
One year ago another test was made, name.
ly fiat bristle brush that had been used in
white lead about the house and set away in
water, was found dried stiff. The brush was
set to soak in Kerosene oil, and after twenty.
four hours was pretty well softened, no that
after half hours working of it on a
piece of board the brush was again ready for
duty.
Early last spring we found fiat bristle
brush, two inches wide, in the cellar of a
house we had lately rented 1t had been
used in white lead and left in o wretched
condition; in fact, would have made a form.
liable club. By cutting of LAYER of bris.
Ties on the outside, and soaking it two OF
three days in kerosene oil, the bristles be.
came pliable, and we're easily cleaned by a
free uae of the oil and by working the brush
ON piece Of board. 1t was used about the
house, then cleaned out in the oil and set in
clean dry can, where it now is, and will re-
main soft as silk.
Brushes may thus be kept in prime condi
ton, whereas, when set away in water, they
are forgotten, and the water evaporates and
leaves them well.nigh worthless. Paint
