Away down south in Dixie about two miles
out from Charleston, South Carolina. imme-
diately after the war, there lived an old
colored man by the name of Ziba Snow. He
occupied one of the old negro quarters then
made vacant by the fortunes of the war. In
many ways he was very peculiar sort of a
person. He was staunch member of the
African Methodist church and rather prided
himself upon his prominence in society and
claimed to be strictly honest. He used to
make frequent excursions into the country
mending up broken umbrellas and tin ware.
His olfact0ries were first class and he could
scent a nice rich ham at any reasonable dis
tance., Old uncle lib having arrived at home
about ten o'clock one Saturday accompanied
by two nice rich hams, proceeded to bury
them under an old potato bin in the cellar.
The hams we're missed and suspicion pointed
strongly toward Uncle lib. A day or two af-
ter this as uncle lib was devouring q rather
late breakfast knock was heard at the door,
come in sab, the door opened and the consta-
Bile stepped in and informed lib that one of
his neighbors was having him arrested for
theft of the hams, proceeded to search the
house, but with fruitless result. Poor Un-
Gle lib was duly landed in the cooler in

Uncle lib, he stoutly denying the theft,

cent, we ought to able to prove an alibi,"
''Sah, da can't prove dat old lib is liar, no
sab, ,da. CAM t do dat, ""Oh! don't mean that, u
replied his lawyer, "but when were the hams
stolen. +" "Well, sab" replied lib, ida says
tween ten and 'leven, O'Clock Saturday
night, "Where were you, lib, at that time. !
"Let me see," said lib. after some study, III
strikes me dat I was hid'n dc hams" Being
brought to trial lib was discharged for want
of evidence to support the case. This break oi
old Zib's created much gossiping among the
brethren in the church. Mr.. Jones taking
lively interest in the case and making
many reflections upon lib. lib having met
Bro. Jones on the street accosted him,
"Brudder Jones, hearn dat you so-forth'm

"No sab, didn't 'tsay dat, Uncle lib" 'Well

lib. "Why said dat il was a chicken and

The ECONOMY Of Good Roads.

1t is gratifying to find so earnest a
thinker as Professor Ely, of John Hop
kins University, urging the economical
advantages of better highways. In q
recent, article in the Baltimore Sun he
quotes the statement of distinguished
American who has travelled extensively
United States are tlte poorest which ex-
ist in any civilized country, so far as he
has observed. An estimate made some
years ago placed the saving to the own
ers of horses in Berlin which would be
realized from improved pavements at
over $25 for each horse. Now, if
change to good roads throughout the
United States would save 80 per horse,
the total saving would be over 500, ,000,-
600, which is the interest on $a,000,000,-
600. Professor Ely considers this low
estimate. for he believes there would be
easily a saving of $25 per horse for the
city streets and SIS per horse for the
country roads. Besides this must be
taken into consideration the saving to
vehicles and horsefiesh and the fact that
good roads would frequently permit the
use of one horse in ceses in which two
are now required, and would always
permit the use of two where three are
now necessary He therefore regards
saving of$20 horse not ali eXtravagant
estimate. He says that the first i'm
provement which the great French re-
former Turgot undertook in the prov
ince of which he was Governor was the
repair of the roaGs, and that one i'm
portant step, without doubt, in raising
Limoges from one of the poorest to one
of the wealthiest provinces in France
was the construction by Turgot Of ex-
cellent highways.--Bnfdlo Courier.

In remembrance of our departed sister:

A voice we loved is stil1ed;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled,

And though the body moulders here,
The soul is safe in Heaven.
Call not back the dear departed ,t
Anchored safe where storms are o'er;

When we leave this world of care,
We shall And our missing loved one

Our correspondent to the Signal this
week would have the people believe the Re-
publicans did an immense thing in electing
pratisan ticket in Richfeld tp. We believe
the Signals informant was the only person
that knew there was party ticket in the
field. We had mixed ticket and partisan
politics was not an issue engaged in by any
one. II is true our officers elected are all
old veterans, and as they are more or less
disabled, it would be quite right to favor
them when practicable.
