a ROAD TO THE CITY PLATEAU.

Everybody who visits Lewiston speaks
in terms Of praise Of the grounds south
Of the business part Of town, their natur.
al location, and what 6ne place it would
be for family residences and a park with
shade trees, aud how much more healthy
It wosld be to live there than along our
dusty and hot streets. But there is
stsep ACTIVITY Of about eighty feet to as.
-seDd before we can get there from Main
street. About ten years ago the project
was conceived BY our city fathers to cut
grade through this activity at the head Of
Fifth street, and the project was COM
menced soon after, and large amount
Of the city funds have been expended
from time to time IN this work, but up
to the present no grade has been cut
through, and at the rate the work has
been going forward, ten more years will
elapse, and yet there win be no road to
the plain above that can be Travelled
About the same time or little before, a
proposition was made to grade road
around the corner on "E" street to the
top d the hill on fifteen inch grade,
which could then have been done at
sost Of $3.50, snd madeA convenient road
for We bu,iress part Of town. But one or
two lets would have to be bought, costing
no more than $3.50, in order to get the
right Of way for such road, and it was
tontsnded that the road must ascend tho
hin from point further up Main street,
and the proposition was booted. Ten
Year, have elapsed, thousands Of dollars
have been expended on the Fifth street
grade, and no road up the hill yet, and no
prospects Of one for the ensuing ten
years, and the city have allowed build
ings to be erected on what they had lain
~ q 3 street, narrowing The street to
the edge Of the river bank on Snsko rivs
q, and Jet W have no road to plateau
above, except via the gulch It tho east
part Of town and around the heads Of
several gulches and ravines from one to
ans and I half miles greater distance than
Va + street on Snake river. Wo think |
eur city fathers had better change their
plan Of the Fifth street grade and take |
the head Of E street and make grade,
and do something that will accommodate
Tie people in getting on the hill above
town, and in getting to the cemeteries
without 70 much trouble and inconven-
isncs, He that runs may read the ad-
tantages Of the road we suggest.

Honorinr the Lords pay,

On field day certain troop of
dragons wasman9uvered with such
skill that the Prince Regent, subse-
quently George ~, showed his
pleasure by inviting its captain to
dinner. The acquaintance thus
formed led to the young mans rap
Id promotion. He became the
princes private secretary, was
made colonel, and after being en-
ployed on several occasions, was
appointed as Lord Bloomfield, the
British minister at the court of
Sweden.
Then his life of prosperity was
interrupted. The deaths of his
mother and his daughter turned his
thoughts to the consultations of re-
ligion. The English Methodists
had opened little mission chapel
at Stockholm. Lord Bloomfield be-
came regular attendant on its SER
vices, and subsequently a devoted
christian.
One of the first external signs of
the inward change was his lord
ships strict observance of the Lords
day as a day of rest and spiritual
refreshment.
One stormy Sunday night, the
missionary drove to the chapel in a
hired carriage. It's door was open
ed by Lord Bloomfield, who had
walked long distance through the
storm. The missionary, a little
ashamed, expressed his surprise.
"Oh, l walked because l. didn't
want to give my servants any work
on the Lords day." said his lord
ship.
It is not easy for q minister at an
European court, where Sunday is
treated~as a feast day, to observe it
as a day of rest. 1t was more diff
fcult in Lord Bloomfeld's case, be-
cause he had always attended the
dinners given on Sunday by the
king to the foreign ministers. He,
however, went to the king, frankly
told him of the change in his views,
and asked that he should not be in
vited to the rOyal-dinner parties on
the Lords day.
The king, the wise and humane
BernadOtte, was delighted with
Bloomfeld's frankness. He grant
ed the request, and, at his next din
ner party, explained to the diplo-
matists the cause of the British
minister's absence. The effect was
that all admired the manliness of
the Englishman whO had boldly
said
81 can't attend, because I observe
the Lords day as holp season."
A short time previous to this in
terview with the king, Count Ros-
enbald and Lord Bloomfield met
one Sunday morning as they were
returning from their respective
places Of worship.
The count, who was minister oi
justice, said, as they were SePara-

With Grant at the Theater.


was at work in Nashville in 1868,
(said an old telegraph operator) when
Grant arrived just after the accident in
Louisiana which made him use crutch-
es. A friend and myself went to the
theater one night. The house was
crowded, save one row of seats. A lit
tie surprised that they were empty, 1
advanced to them to find a guard at
each end. L was ordered off and told
they were reserved for Gen. Grant and
staff. fell back to the head of the
aisle, and just then the general, Sher-
man and other officers came in. The
manager, got up in great shape, with
light kid gloves, hustled up and led
them forward. 1 said to my friend
"Come on, we belong to this party"
"Come back, you blank fool, You will
get yourself in trouble" However, l
followed them up. had on a sort OF
undress uniform, blue trousers with red
stripe, vest with military buttons and a
fatigue coat. / came up in time to see
every seat occupied. The manager
turned and saw me, and said: "Why,
captainl beg pardon. 1 thought l
had reserved seats enough. Wait a
minute, and I'll provide you a good
seat" was willing to wait and he
stepped to a major across the aisle.
"Oh, Major will you give your seat to
one of Gen. Grants staff? 1 will get a
chair for you" The major got up, and
L sat down and saw the show through.

leadership of men. Yet he leaped
over his limitations, mastered his
disabilities, and vividly illustrated
the power of mind over matter. His
life was crowded by the inter
tions of ill-health; yet he was
an untiring worker. There were
weeks in which he was obliged to
live a recluse; nevertheless he was
leader of men.
Some of his most effective speech
es were made when, his legs being
paralyzed and his body chilled, he
was swathed in flannel, and wheeled
on an invalid's chair into the
broad aisleof the house of repre-
sentatives.
At his death eminent men eulo-
gized him and lifted up their hands
in astonishment at the work he had
wrought. The secret rested in the
fact that he had a mind to work and
will to execute his minds pur-
pose.
Mr.. Stephens was intensely hu-
man. HIS slaves loved him and
clung to their old home even when
made freedmen. The dogs rushed
to greet him and fought for place
by his side.
The pariah of our civilization is
the tramp. Men fling q crust to
him as they do to nobody's dogs.
But at ''Liber4y Hail." the name of
Mr.. Stephens plantation, a room
was fitted up for the accommoda-
tioR of these modern gypsies. Some

Al his death, friend spoke of
him as one who gathered sheaves
of hearts" "the deeper his suffer
ings the. more sensitive his charity" "
Others eulogized the dead states
man in eloquent words, but the
most expressive tribute came
from the choking utterance Of a
former slave
"Mars Alec was kinder to dogs
than most people are to folksp'
The secret of his unselfishness
was this: He was an humble

do good to men.-Youth's Com.

Andre is concerned. "He ran that
risk when he carried the papers" he
answered, "and, at any rate, that
Is the worst you can fiud to say.
And to whom belongs all the tri-
umph of Yorktown, if not to Wash
ington; and who made the very best
president we ever had?"
Fabian whistled softly. Perhaps
he meant to disagree; perhaps he
meant to gain little time, for Ted
was excited and his words flowed
fast.
Eyes, he was the hest" reiterated
the boy. ''Pick me out a better il
you can! Didn't he make the peo-
pie believe in the new government
right away, and didn't he pay all
debts squarely? No reputation
for him. And didn't he refuse a
third team?'
"Did hep whispered Dora, and
Ted turned quickly from one tor
mentor to the other.
"You know very well he did, sis
ter Dora, and he might have been
dictator or something of that sort
for life if he had chosen. And
when his administration was over,
the country was just about five
times as great and prosperous as
when it began, and he didn't take
such tremendous credit to himself
either. He just went and finished
up his life as a private citizen
should, and was great man clear
through to the end, wh atever you
may say to the contrary"
Here he paused for want of
breath, while Fabian ceased his
scribbling and Dora laughed out
right. "That composition ought
to do you good, Ted" she said.
The boy flushed crimson, resent
ing a suspected hoax. Il can't
be supposed to remember every
word l say" he muttered.
For answer Fabian held up two
pieces of paper, waving them in the
air as an incentive for the terrier
to jump. 'Here are your points
just as you gave them," he said.
''All you have to do is to fill them
out a little more; and another
time, old fellow, suppose you say
what you think, instead of trying
to hammer out lot of fine senten-
ces, and you'll astonish the school
room YETI
And when that composition was
read out, the teacher SAID it was so
remarkably good that he could
hardly believe Ted Marlow had
written it, which is a sort of back
handed compliment that teachers
often pay.

In his timely pamphlet on "The
New South" Mr.. Carl Schurz pre-
sents an unusually interesting pic
ture of actually existing conditions
of the south to-day. The capabili-
ties of Mr. Schurz stand in no need
of Characterization and the record
of his public lite affords the best
possible evidence of his disinterest-
edness, at least as far as any undue
bias in favor of distinctly southern
ideas are concerned. His visit to
the south has convinced him that
an entire change has come over the
economic condition Of that portion
of the country since the war. The
general tone prevailing in southern
society is hopeful and CHEEKY, so
much so that, in spite of deprcs
sien, less complaint is heard than
in the north. Mr.. Schurz found on
allisides ga high appreciation Of the
resources and advantages Of the
country; great expectations of fu-
ture Developments, a lively desire
to excite interest IN those things,
and to attract northern capital, en-
terpuse and immigration; q strong
consciousness and appreciation of
the Importance to them Of their be-
ing a part of a strong, prosperous
and united people.

Cement for Special Purposes,

/
The value of a cement is, first,
that it should become a strongly
cohering medium between the sub
stances joined; and, second, that it
should withstand the action of heat,
or any solvent action of water or
acids. Cement often fails in regard
to the last consideration. For wa
terproof uses several mixtures are
recommended, and the following
may be mentioned:
One is to mix white lead, red
lead, and boiled oil, together with
good size, to the consistency of put
ty. Another is powdered resin, 1
ounce, dissolved in 10 ounces of
strong ammonia; gelatine, 5 parts;
solution of acid chromate of lime, /
part. Exposing the article to sun
light is useful for some purposes.
A waterproof paste cement is said
to be made by adding to hot starch
paste half it's weight of turpentine
and small piece of alum. AS q
cement lining for cisterns, pow
dered brick 2, quicklIme 2, wood
ashes 2, made into a paste, with
boiled oil, is recommended.
The following are cements for
steam and water joints: Ground
Iitharge, 10 pounds ;plaster of Paris,
4 pounds; yellow ocher, one half
pound; red lead, 2 pounds; hemp,
cut into one halt inch lengths, one
half ounce; mixed with boiled lin
seed oil to the consistency of putty.
White lead, 10 parts; black oxide
of manganese, 3; litharge, L; mixed
with boiled linseed ell.
A cement for joints to resist
great heat is made thus; Asbestos
powder, made into a thick paste,
with liquid silicate Of soda.
For coating acid troughs, a mix
ture of l part pitch, 1 part resin,
and one part plaster of Paris is
melted, and is said to be good ce-
ment coating.
Correspondents frequently ask
for good cement for fixing iron
bars into stone in lieu of lead, and
nothing better is known than a
compound of equal parts of sulphur
and pitch. A good cement for
stoves and ranges is made of fire.
clay with a solution of silicate of
soda. A glue to resist damp can
be prepared with boiled linseed oil
andIordinary glue; or by melting l
pound of glue in quarts of skim
med milk; shellac, ounces; borax,
l ounce, boiled in a little water,
and concentrated by heat to paste.
A cement to resist white heat may
be usefully mentioned here; Pull
verized clay, 4 parts; plumbago. 2;
iron filings, free from oxide, 2;
peroxide of manganese, 2; borax,
one half; sea salt, mix with water
to thick paste, use Immediately,
aud heat gradually to a nearly
white heat.
Many Of the eements used which
are exposed to great heat fail from
the expansion of one or more ingre
dients in them, and an unequal
stress is produced; or the two sub
stances united have unequal rates
of expandibility or contractility;
the chemical or galvanic action is
important. The whole subject of
cements has dot received the atten-
tion it deserves from practical men.

"We shall meet again this even
ing" referring to the banquet to be
given by the minister of foreign
affairs, at which the royal family,
the diplomatists and the nobility
would be present.
'No, count, l shall not be there, y
answered Lord Bloomfield, courte-
ously. "If spend six days in
secular duties, it is not too much
for me to reserve the seventh for
the worship of God"
The Englishman's example was
contagious. Count ROsenbald, a
christian, thought the matter over,
and determined not to give another
official dinner on: a Sunday. He
went further; he turned his draw
ing room into a chapel on Sunday
evenings, invited friends to attend
a religious service, and a clergyman
to conduct it.
