AUXILIARY TO THE GAR,

NIROQUA WIS, Jan. A. 1857. }
DEAR TRIBUNE: 1t was with great pleasure re-
ceived the greetings of so many members of the
Woman's Relief Corps for this joyous season. 1
wish might be able to greet every member with
Happy New Year in person, and wish that to them
and theirs should indeed come the happiest and
most perfect year of their lives. To individuals
perfect life is impossible but to the organization of
the Woman's Relief Corps perfection is possible,
and the peace and good will of the Christmas
tide, if we could incorporate it into of our by
laws, would help bring that result
There is nothing SO striking to me in the Order,
as that neither time place abate the ardor of
the members in the work. Business at Headquar-
tiers has been brisk ever, and the mails as full
as at any season.
The Relief Corps is to be congratulated that at
last the Opening Ode, with music Is published for
its benefit, and included in the regular sup
plies of the National Treasurer.
The Service Books are ready for the Depart
ment5 National Convention not having voted
them free, there is authority TO make them SO
without expense to the Corps. However, would
think that all Corps organized in the last year.
which paid for the old Service Books, should be
furnished them by Departments free.
Trusting all members of the W.R.C. viii enjoy
happy new year for 800 days in 1885, yours, in

The instructions received by the British dele
gates to the International Marine Conference,
TO change their exclusive attitude aud enter
the discussions on the same footing with the
representatives of other nations, will crafty
everybody interested in tine proceedings of the
conference. 1t is safe to say, however, that
this movement is not so much the result Of a
change of heart on the part of Great Britain as
of the discovery that she is able to control the
actions of the conference to very large extent
whenever she sees fit to exercise the power 1t
is fact which has been generally recognized
ever since the meetings began, that the British
delegates came here uncOmmonly well fortified
with facts and figures and arguments; so that
whenever topic arose in which their
cOuntry's interests were touched in the
slightest degree they were on their feet
in an instant and ready for action
The result has been that their influence has
been largely felt in everything the conference
has done thus far; and, having learned that
Englands conservative ideas are not going to
be oyerridden, and her buoy system and other
time-honored maritime institutions ruthlessly
brushed aside for half-dcveloped innovations,
nothing serious is to be feared from giving
them authority to take part in all branches of
discussion. The extension of their powers is a
good thing for all; for the debates ON many
questions Of supreme interes. to the merchant
marine, conducted without the participation of
the greatest commercial nation on the globe,
would be something like Hamlet with Hamlet

Col Pope's address on Highway Imnrove

lmDrOFe.
ment. delivered before the convention Of car
riage-buIlders at Syracuse last month and now
published in pamphlet form, is a strong plea
for the betterment Of country roads, from the
point Of view Of the maker Of vehicles. One
would naturally assume, at a first glance, that
poor roads mean broken springs, loosened
wheels and rickety bodies, and hence new car
riages at frequent intervals so that carriage
dealers natural impulse would be toward the
encouragement Of too good roads. But, as
Col Pope says, there is a broader view to be
taken Of the subject than this. 'Good roads
mean thrift, Eberality and wealth. They mean
good farms and good value to real estate.
They mean that the farmer enjoying their use
will save time going over them, will save wear
and tear, will be richer man on ac-
count Of them, and have the more money to
buy your carriages, running into higher val
ue." II a practical carriage maker can
take this philosophical survey of the
subject and reach the conclusion that there
is more profit all around in good roads than in
bad, surely people who have no such remote
interests TO serve, but receive the advantage
directly in their own comfort and their own
pockets, ought to appreciate it. What Col.
Pope says of country roads in general Is espe-
cially applicable to suburban highways, which
are travelled constantly by the fine carriages
from city stables, built for use on the smooth
paved streets. In the neighborhood of WASH
ington, for example, we have many miles of
fertile country which would be delightful to
drive through IL the roads were generally in
better condition. No one who has not studied
this matter can have any idea of the intimacy
Of its relation to the prosperity Of the city it
self. Rich men are valuable additions to our
population. They build handsome houses,
promote local enterprises, increase the
value Of property adjoining theirs and bear a
large proportional share of the burdens of tax
alton; and almost the first question one Of
these persons asks when he comes to inspect
the city TO see how it would serve his purposo
as home is: what sort o: drives are there
close to town." Aside, therefore, from the
direct and obvious benefit to be derived by
the county residents themselves from the i'm
proyement of the roads and lanes in their
neighborhood, every citizen of Washington.
whether he owns a carriage or not, has in
terest at stake in making the beauties of the
suburban districts accessible.

convenient excuse is that many improvements
are in progress, and that the work Of putting
everything in repair might better be postponed
till the improvements are finished. so as to
make one job of it This, however. is a
specious argument. What the public demand
