The fall was about eight inches in depth

WEEKLY.

The Weekly Union, which is the best
paper of its class ever published in Ten
nessee, is a complete and reliable com
pendulum of the nome and foreign news
Of the week. Special attention is paid to
its features of late and accurate market
reports and an Industrial and agricultural
department carefully prepared for each
issue, and printed and mailed the day on
which it is dared. The Weekly Union is
in these respects equal to any of the agri-
cultural papers, and the farmer and coun-
try readers will find that it gives more
variety and better news than can any Of
the one-idea or one-department papers.
The price Of The Weekly Union is 81 a
year, and no where else can those who
are not conveniently situated as to a daily
receive as much valuable information for
that amount.
Sample copies can be obtained by ap-
plication personally or by letter.
In view of the fact that The Union has
doubled its capacity for furnishing its
readers with news matter it finds it neces-
sary to return to its original scale of prices.

ROAD BUILDING.

Drainage of Surface and Subsoil the First
Essential.
The basis of all road improvement is
drainage of surface and Subsoil. To
obtain this first essential, proceed as
follows: If an embankmcnt or grade
does not already exist, make one so
that the crown thereof shall be two
feet higher than the bottom of the broad
bitches at sides; it should be at least
twenty feet wide with eight inches
browning. Grade the side bitches so
as to carry all flood water to nearest
water course. Supplement the founda-
ton thus made by underdrains of first
class tile. When the surface bitches
have removed all of the water which
will readily flow away through them,
the soil will still be sufficiently satu.
rated to make n spongy and unstable
base for ar embankment. Place paral,
lei l. as of tilo about three feet below
the + tom Of the surface bitches
along the base of the embankment, and
they will thoroughly drain the lower
stratum of soil for the entire road to
depth of nearly five feet below the road
surface. As far as the sub-grade of the
road is concerned this plan when well
executed leaves nothing to be desired.
The surface, however, which has alb
sorbed water from the rainfall, and re-
tains it by reason of its puddled condi'
ton, is faulty, and can only be made
complete by adding a dressing or GOV.
ering which shall be both durable ant
impervious to water. The u~nderdrain.

Interesting Fscts Concerning the Nature
of Carbuncles and Boils.
Whoever has reflected as to the
real nature of %carbuncular inflam-
nation will, I think, see reason 10 he
lieve hat its causes art 10 a large en-
tent local owes. Respecting both boils
ana carbuncleS, it is the fact that the
most efficient measures are those which
appeal to the local condition, This is
true of all the different measures in re-
pNte, however diSsimilar at first sight
they may appear, Some have for their
object the protection of the iniiamed
area from further irritation, as when
we cover up a boil Or commencing car
buncle with leather plaster, others the
suhduai Of the inflammation by means
of cold and the like, as when we use an
ice bladder or a strong spirit lotion.
Nor do those who adopt a time-honored
practice of al early free incision de-
part from this principle, for their OBJ
iect is still the mitigation of the local
inflammation by the relief Of tension,
and by permitting the esrape of con-
tamlhating matters. From acne, inn
petigo and ccthyma to boils is IN many
cases a matter of degree, and that there
is little or no real distinction between
a large boil and a small carbuncle, all
will, | think, admit,
The age of the patient, and his spe-
cial diathpiic condition at the time,
their site, the influence of different
modes Of local treatment, are condi-
tons which determine the final result.
If a boil occurs in an elderly person, on
the nape of the neck, where it is likely
to be irritated by the shirt collar, and
especially if, instead of being system.
a~tically protected from the first, it be
further bullied by premature sqeezing
and the like, it is very likely to pass
into a carbunclc. | claini the strong
testimony which has been borne by Sil
James Paget and others tothe efficiency
of simply protective measures in pre-
venting the development of small car
buncles, and obviating the supposed
necessity for inCision, as proof that loca
spreading is in the main due to loca
causes, and has no necessary connec
ton with the general health. In other
words, it is not a thing which is newt
able. On the other hand, we know 0
no internal remedy which possesses an,
marked power in arrcstinr ~carbunculal
Inflammation.
If we now ask in what does the pc
culiaritv of rarbuncuiar inflammation
consist? in what does a carbuncle diff
fer from a boil? should be incline,
TO reply that it is solely in this ten
denc1 to spread. The spreading ia or
oasioned by contagion of continuity
: and it has certain marked resemblance
to what we observe in erysipclas. !
, carbunclc might almost be defined t,
8 be an erysipeiatous boil, with the pro
viso that the expression is not intendc,
