Mr.. John Terrence, whose mother il

Uncle Jim Williams was first to drive
team across the new bridge. This is
as 1t should be. Nothing could be more
appropriate, and no other living man
could have so fifty represented the
"eternal fitness of things"; hence I

Mr.. VIM. Maddox, formerly of this
county, left Kansas few months apo
and moved to Ellis county, Texas
where his wife, the daughter OF Mr..
George Render, died two weeks AGO.
Mr.. Maddox, accompanied by Mr..
Ben Thomas, another former citizen of
this county brought the remains to
hcHenry for interment.
Mr.. Thomas is well pleased with Tex.
as, and is prospecting there. He lives a
few miles south of Waxahachie.
Now that the bridge has become a
certainty, glory enough for one board
and that this is cholera year, let our
town fathers disband the mu tuaI admir-.

to the hygienic department. There are

An Eastern Romance.

A very romantic story is told of the
wife of Count Benedetti, late French
Minister to Prussia, which would do
credit to the inventive faculties of novel
writers. A wealthy Greek merchant,
resident in Alexandria, had two black
wives, whom he loved dearly, and for
whose service he provided large reti-
nue. of beautiful girls. One OF his wives
one day chanced to see a charming
white girl, and was so pleased with
her that she coaxed her husband into
buying her. The beautiful slave be-
came a confidential servant aud COM
panion to her negro mistresses, and
conducted herself toward them in such
sagacious manner that she became
Indispensable to them. She sang to
them, and gossiped and frolicked so
gracefully that ennH was banished
completely. She Won their affection,
and through them also the affection of
her master, the venerable Greek mer
chaut. But unfortunately the black
wives suddenly fell sick one day, and
before nightfall they were both dead.
The beautiful young slave, who had
not left the side of her mistresses q
moment during their brief illness.
seemed greatly stricken by the sad sf.
fair, but did her best to assuage the
grief Of the merchant, and In this way
so endeared herself to him that he
adopted her as his child and heiress. as
he was just little too old to marry her.
In course of time the venerable sage re-
Joined his swarthy wives in the other
world, aud the fortunate ny mph came
into possession OF his millions. At this
stage her existence, Count Benedetti,
who was then only a penniless attache
to the French consulate in Alexandria,
offered her his hand and heart, and.
having married her, with the aid of
her wealth cut for himself road to
fame In this way, she who was once
a slave of slaves, became a star in the
circles of the French world of fashion.

agricultural crisis, in which the ancient
prover6ial expression, "as good as

The New Washingtsn.

Washington was laid out mathemat-
ically to begin with. 1t was mapped
on grand plan; and strange to say, Ii
has finally been realized. Its success re
suits wholly from external causes.
Left to itself, Washington would have
sunk long ago i'm its primeval mud, and
future generations would hardly have
known that such city had once stood
there. Ii has no elements of independent
commercial prosperity. A single act Of
Congress, trundling tue capital to some
other part of the Union, could sweep
Washington into nonentity. II Is .
political and social center. 1t Is the
home Of the government. This, and
this only, has made 1t possible to make
1t what it now is-one of the finest
cities in the Union. The original plan
on which it was projected has needed
little or no revision. There is not
crooked street in the city. The streets,
marked in one direction by letters and
in another by figures, run at right
angles, while its twenty-one broad
avenues, named after as many States
in the Union, cross these squares dag
onally, eonverging at various eenters as
the spokes of a wheel tit into hub.
One of the most distinguishing feat
ures Of the new Washington is literal
ly a superficisl one. Ii Is the finest
paved city on the Continent. And this.
for the reason that IL is without heavy
traffic to destroy its smoothly laid floor
of concrete. IL was i'm 1871, If I mis-
take not, that Pennsylvania Avenue,
which had few cobble stones stirred
intoits mud, like plums In padding, was
finally paved with concrete from the |
Capitol to the White House. The con-
crete floor has extend itself in every di- |
rection, until now the capital 10 vast |
national roller skating rink. Ii is,
above all things the paradise Of bicye- !
lists. We meet them on every square,
speeding over the smooth, hard pave
ment with the most slluring ease. They |
are much used by messenger boys who |
ride with their hands In their pockets,
as II they were apart of the machine |
The Herdic and the hanson cab. |

50 smooth and unbroken the pave
ment that ii Is easier riding in Herdic |
than In street car. The |
middle Of the street, being |
as hard and even as a n ,or Is so much
better than the sidewalks, which are
largely paved with brick, that pedes-
TRANS in the quIeter by streets often |
desert the sidewalks for the asphalt. The |
hoy in New York or Boston who "cuts |
behind" u wagon finds 1t to his advan-
tage to hold his feet I'D. But the
Washington boy drops his feet upon the
ground, holds them close together, and
clinging to the strap of the tail board, is
dragged along as If he were sliding on
the Ice. While this exercise polisht
the pavement, it stimulates the local
shoe trade.-ReU. s j. Bdrrotrs,
