eoop COUNTY ROADS.

Roanoke has grown rapidly and
stsadily since the completion OF ths
Shenandoah Valley railroad, and the
DEVELOPMENT of the coal mines Of the
Flat-Top region, until it is now the
pride of the state. the hops Of its own
citizens and the wonder of The country.
There are, however, so many ad-
Junets to the growth and prosperity OF
a city, that in one so enterpcising and
progressive as ours, it is hard 10 say
where one interest ends and another
begins. The unanlmity of our people
in everything likely to contribute to
the public welfare has doae more than
anything else in making Roanoke what
it is, and it is already evident from the
examples afforded that the attention to
small interests is as effective in the
long run in promoting the general pros
psrity as the development of large H.
dustries.
1t takes SO many different people,
such diversity of industries and occu-
pations, and such an accumulation Of
interests to make city, that no means
for promoting the material prosperity
Of tho community can DO neglected,
and the sooner eur people realize this
to the fullest extent the better it will
be for them and the place they repre-
sent. The fact that We have the ma.
chine works, the bridge works, the
rolling mill and other industries here,
and will soon have several furnaces, is
matter for general congratulation,
but we would have still more cause for
satisfaction if, in addition % the in
dustries ne already possess, we could
claim q cotton mill, a stove foundry, a
bucket factory, tannery, broom
factory, and numerous small mauufac-
cries, which diversity occupations and
furnish employment to many people.
While all of those are essential to the
prosperity of the city, it is also very
important in such splendid az
ricultural section 40 this that
the means Of transportation
should DO equal to the demands OF
trade. With the Norfolk and Western,
the Shenandoah Valley and the Roam
oks and Southern railroads in full op-
GRAFTON, there would be little lacking SO
far 90 railroad facilities are concerned;
but next in Importance to these are
good county roads and tnrnpikes, and
in this respect there is at present a
sad deficiency in this section. In
Roanoke and adjoining counties the
roads are by no means what they ought
to DO, and it ia the duty OF our logisla-
tors at Richmond and the managers al
home to see that the law 10 30 modified
or enforced that it can reach every
class Of workers and confer the benefits
on the community for which all such
cnactmsnts are designed.

THE CRITIC.

Human nature is prone to crticise. Society is
made up OF critics, whose observations are said to
be the guard to the honor and morals of the entire
social world.
The province of the professional critic is wide
one, the privileges are great and responsibility is
immeasurable.
There is trite but true saying that ''The proof
OF the pudding is in the eating" 1t is probable
that the pudding referred to is to be partaken of
by many-many men of many minds on such gas
tronomic triumphs as buildings, and the amount
OF pudding slain shall bear testimony to its excel
lence. Among the many served are to be found
divers tastes
There will perhaps be the boy with capacity,
with relish and appreciation.
There will be the epicure, who is authority on
buildings and knows buildings by comparison with
other gorfed past tense buildings.
There will be the gourmand, who deyours on
general principles-and then there will be the dvs.
peptlc who abhors the name of pudding
Of the partakers thereof there will be inst ono
TO bless the cook, and that will be the Juvenile
with the appetite. With the enthusiasm born of
youth and with smacking lips, he could verilv EN-.
brace the hands that stirred the toothsome, soul-
satisfying morsel. To the gourmand the pudd,no
was sacrificed; by the dyspeptic its character was
ruined. Pity the pudding-no pity the cook,
The essential qualifications of the professional
critic are first intelligence, then sympathy. The
principle attribute of the modern critic ia tend
ency to over-estimate his opinions. The nttor
abandon with which this latter dav iconooloat w.

to do, and which have been continuous drawback
to her growth and prosperity.
GEORGE AUGUSTUS SALA, the eminent tourist and
correspondent, writing to the Bristol Times and
Mirror says;
"The other day, driving through the country
round about Brussels, saw scores of women IN
the felds-bent almost double-diggng, hoeing,
raking, wedding, dibbling, and sowing, or turning
up manure-heaps with forks; while in front of
nearly every one of the innumerable "estaminets"
in the villages there was group of lazy, hulking
Flemish Doors smoking their pipes and swilling
beer. Was this politeness or contrary, towards
the feebler sex? In Corsica, where President
Carnot is staying just now, l have seen strings of
women, with heavy burdens on their heads trudg-
ing down the rugged mountain paths into Ajaccio,
while the men-their husbands brothers and
acknowledgements by the poor women's
sides, singing songs to encourage them"
Just now, when the cannon has scarcely ceased
firing and the small boy is still hoarse from hur-
raining for the "Glorious Fourth woman feels
that it is blessed privilege to have been born an
American. But if at any time she were inclined
to doubt the fact, a reading of the above item
would have beneficial effect upon her patriotism.
To have had the misfortune to have been ushered
into being in a land that bequeaths to her women
no better heritage than that accorded to beasts of
of toll, is miserable to contemplate. Woman has
ever been told she was physically inferior to man,
as well as mentally That long years of false ed
ucation has rendered her unfit for many of her
legitimate duties, is true-but the remedy is at
hand. Already she is ralying her forces and in
the near future she will not only repair many of
the self-inficted wrongs-but awakening to a full
realization of all her long dormant faculties, she

known. Into the hearts of her sons and daugb-
tiers she will iastil truer patriotism than ever be-
fore.

duces to clear cut English his petty despotic IDEAS
would do credit to the recording angel.
The artist is his prey how often does he be-
hold the fruit of his toll, whose incentive has been
the inspiration of genius, besmirched with sacri-
ligious criticsm-with pen buffoonery. Genius
might indeed die were it not for the applause of
the soul which man is powerless to desecrate.
The epicurean critic makes fine distinctions He
Judges of the work by comparisons the execution
alone is of interest-with the intention he has
nought to do
The daily newspaper critic is the gourmand who
devours everything, sacred and profane, alike, in
the interest of the space he has to fill his work is
mediocre
The dyspeptic critic snarls on general principles
He looks for blemish and then he feeds upon it,
Heaven save the victim.
Better far give us the enthusiasm of youth who
loves the world and all in it, who sees beauties in
flowers and ng-birds, and rejoices in their love-
illness.
Critical youth is kind, critical old age is queru-
lous critical maturity blessed with the divine quail
tiles of intelligence, sympathy and humility is
what the artist author, poet cries for. Alas, that
the hand of fate shall ever place the pulse-thrsb-
Who shall say that because the pudding has no
attractions for the WORKOUT organs of digestion,
that the relish of youth is in no wise capable of
pronouncing it savory and palatable.
Woman as professed critic is more severe than
man. The feminine pen is ponted-it deals in
detail and plays with satire in manner at once
cruel and delightful. A sympathetic, soulful
woman would in no wise fill the requirements of
the position. The self-inhicted torture of inhict-
ing pain would invest her labor with a burden un-
bearable; the fear lest she do an injustice would
rob her lines of the delicious flavor which the
boodthirsty world Graves as its daily literary food,
and another whose shoulders Strengthened under
the ugly burden would soon be chosen to fill her
place.
The humility OF genius was well illustrated in
the instance of our four American poets, who once
formed quartette for criticism and mutual bene.
fit. AT their regular meetings each was to criti-
else the work of the others. But as no word auobt
than praise and appreciation was ever spoken thew
rather humorousy dubbed their circle fThe Mutual
the Admiration Society,""
The pity is that genius may not be ENCOURAGED
with such words as would glide from the pen Of
the sympathising kindred spirt-that beauty NAV
not become secondary to blemish, but that in sucb
phrases as Andrew Lang can utter the chdipo be
softened by encouragement-the excellence given
appreciation due.
But fools do indeed rush in where angels fear TO
tread, and the audacous pencil of the pennv.a-ine
crltlc hesltates not to even blot out work at
whose feet he is not worthy to kneel.

MARY ANDERSON was married about two weeks
since, to Mr.. Antonio Navarro at the little Catholic
church in Hampstead, of which she was a regular

personal friends witnessed the ceremony, and her

the Womau's Cycle, "a longer life perhaps hap
