Asphalt Pavemen, in Paris.

The system of asphalt paving intro
duced so extensively in Paris, has
proved, il would seem, admirably
adapted for tine great driving streets,
but not so well foe those subjected to
heavy business traffic, and among the
advantages principally attributed TO it
are those of homogeneity of material,
noislessaess. perfect surface drainage.
aud the readiness with which the road
ways can be repaired; that Is, assum-
ing that the asphalt material is of good
quality, instead of the unreliable COM
position consisting of crude mineral
tar or manufactured tar mixed with
pulverized minerals of earth. In all
reliable asphalt pavements the asphalt
tum rock is heated TO 300 or 2l2
degrees, is compressed while hot, aud
when cool assumes all the essential
qualities of the original rock. IL APP
pears that SO satisfactory has this kind
of improved pavement proved in Berlin
that alreadky some 600,0 900 square
meters of roads and streets are now
covered with it. its irmness of wear,
as well as all other qualities. giving it

The last number of The Forum con-

The last number of The Forum con-
tains. an able article on the probability
of war in Europe that deserves very
close and critical examination. The
writer says, Every one is convinced
that at any moment so horrible war
may break out that all other wars,
even the secession in America, Will be
but child's play in comparison. The
adversaries which we see obliged TO
take up arms, Russia and France on
the one side, Germany, Austria aud
italy on the other, will bring seven
millions of men on the battlefield with
a reserve of ten millions more. Dur
ing the first few days two collisions,
one in the east, the other in the west
in which three millions of human be-
ings will be seen struggling together,
for both sides Will endeavor to crush
their enemies under the attack of in
Vulnerable masses. No one can foresee
what such contest will be like, or
what will be the result. 1t is more
than probable that in such struggle
more men would be killed than are
killed in ordinary wars. -,
Three millions of men IN mortal
combat with all the modern improve
ments in warlike materials will kill by
hundreds and by thousands, though,
perhaps, not more proportloned TO
numbers than were killed in olden
times when, with swords, spears, bat
tie axes and the like, they fought hand
to hand. 1t is horrible to think of
what must and will be the results of a
general war in Europe. The number
of killed and wounded, the desolation
of the countries by the destruction of
property and consequent suffering OF
the people will perhaps exceed any
thing that has occurred in modern
times. And, unless there be marked
change in the condition of public at
fairs, and, that, too, at no distant date
the war must come. The reasons for
this are elaborately and clearly set
forth in the article referred to, and in
more satisfactory way than we have
seen anywhere else.
Every country in Europe is actively
engaged in warlike preparations:
When the war comes with it's end will
also be the end of spiritual hierar'
chism and political absolutism. The
people of Europe are earnestly seeking
| for the proper recognition of their re:
spective nationalities. Never before
had they among them so much read
| ing matter, and never before did they
read so much. and the effect is now be-
ling manifested.

Honesty is a cardinal virtue. 1t is
important in all business TRANSACTIONS
1t is especially important that every
preacher of the Gospel and every
teacher of religion should be strictly
honest. If he should indulge in those
tricks by which worldly men often
seek gain, or by neglect or thoughtless'
ness should fail to meet his obligations
punctually, he not only neutralizes his
own religious and moral teaching, bu'
brings the Gospel itself into contempt
and iniures the influence of every min
lister and every Christian to some ex
tent. "Walk in wisdom toward then
that are without" Not to be able te
look every man square in tie eye is

Atlthe recent meeting of the Synod
of South Carolina at Spartanburg the
question came up of the confirmation
of Professor Beattie in the Theological
Seminary. Mr.. Holmes in arguing
the question said that after careful
consideration of the Alien Labor Law
he considered such an act illegal.
He explained how that the law was
not a grant to import foreign labor on
condition of the payment of one thou
sand dollars as Il tariff; but the law
prohibited the introduction of such Ia
Dor on any terms, and the thousand
dollars was penalty on transgressors
In other words, the importation of for
eign labor was criminal act, and the
fine was punishment.
There were recorded forty ayes tc
confirm against twenty-seven nays
A number were excused from voting.
