Very Cheap,
Road improvements.

10 investigate and recommend some meth
cd of improving the roads Of Lorain
county, Mr.. F. s. Reefy, of Elyria met the
citizens of Wellington and Vicinity on
Friday afternoon and evening, and laid be-
fore them the results Of their investiga-
tions. The plan thst seemed TO the COM
mittee most practicable is briefly out
lined as fellows: The work 10 be under
taken by the county; the roads to be
Mcadamlzed, FIRST excavating the road
bed to the proper depth and foundation
laid Iot sandstone, six inches In depth and
ten feet wide; on this an additional six
inches Of granite (bard heads) or lime
stone, as might he found most economical
broken to proper size, and all thornuply
rolled with fifteen or twenty ton roller.
This Is the kind Of road In use in Eng.
land, France, Switzerland and many parts
of Germany, some Of which have been In
use hundreds Of years and are in good
condition still. Some of those leading
through Switzerland were built by Cesar
before the beginning Of the Christian era
and are now the finest roads in the world.
These roads are very common In many
parts Of the United States, Ohio having
many mills in the southern half Of the
state. Estimates have been asked and re-
celved from many engineers and conirac-
tors Of large exPerince, and il is believed
that SUCH rod can be built Cor an
average cf s2,5OOOO per mile.
The roads mapped out for improve
ment over the county amount 10 about
10 miles and are distributed as follows.
Beginning a, the south line of Hunting
ton, north TO 0berlin and Elyria, Brighton
east TO the center Of Penfeld, Rochester
switch east ~ the town line Of Yelling
ton. thrnce north to The east and west
center road, through Elyria east and west
to the county lines, LaGnngc 10 Eiyria,
from the Ridge rOad north towards the
lake and along the lake shore, about ID
miles OF gravel road that can be built toI
$1500.0O per mile, (this however is in
cluded In the 10 miles rsiima,ed) ant
some other sbml spurs, the location o
' which we do MT now remember.
The estimated cost, $2,500.00 per mile,
J includes the necessary tools and machin
: cry for doing the work, and for the III
miles, would amount To the sum of $275,
: 10000 This sum II taxed, in q single
year upon the acreage of land in the
county without reference 10 value would
. amount 10 80 cents per acre, certainly
not an exlravagant sun for such an i'm
prOyement as the one under consideration
But il would not be practicable ol
i economical to build such an extent o
d road In a single year ami Il oil course b
n not contemplated. Fifteen 10 twenty-five
: miles Of road would be as much as could
!, be probably undertaken In one year
v Suppose the work should be distributed
q say, over five years. The tax duplicate 0
! the county Is nUw about $l9,0000OO,0 OF

The Testy German Empress.

Chicago New Hanover Letter.
The empress of Germany is said to be n
young woman of exceeding frey temper.
She was a Schleswig-H olstein princess
and was reared with str let severity-is a
thorough h~ousekeeper as well as a pro-
flcient scholar. Blu amiability Is not her
most notable characteristic. OF course
she cannot quarrel with her husband, for
the etiquette of the court is distinctly rigor-
Gus; but the empress is at liberty to quar-
rel with everybody else and of this pre-
rogative the young woman avails herself.
Some of her outbursts of temper have
been of a most humilating character, be-
traying q c~oarseness n would hardly ex-
pect to meet with In royalty. The en-
press lnclines to stoutness; her features
are rather heavy, but the expression OF
her face is kindly. She is one year older
than her husband. As for the ex-Empress
Frederick, mother of the present en-
peror. she is a picture Of her mother, the
Queen Of England.

Victoria In 1890.
Lond{h Letter to st. Louis Post-Dispatcl

LondH Letter 10 81. Louis Post Dispatch.
Queen Victoria at the age of Il is a very
plain old lady, and she was by no means
good looking somet thirty years CO., while
she was still i'm the prime of life. She
suffered a great deal from attacks of cry
sipelas, which redeemed and coarsened
her skin. She lost her teeth very early in
life. owing TO the Use of a camphorated
dentriflce TO which she tool a great fancy
and which proved most pernicious. But
from her accession at the age of Is until
b was 25 or % the queen was a very
pretty young woman, fresh and fair, with
soft blue eyes, a small, rosy mouth, and
the loveliest arms and shoulders imagin-
able. Her lack Of height was always n
great drawback, and was the cause of her
d~elighting i'm giving grand fancy costume
balls, at which she was wont to appear in
n court toilet of the 18th century, the high
heeled shoes which must perforce be worn
with such a dress, lending a very becom-
ing addition To her stature.

A MURPHY FINISH.

Tobacco.
From the 81. Paul Pioneer-Press.
Two years ago Baldwin's horse Volante
was to run one day at Saratoga and Bald
win called Murphy up to the grand stand
and said:
"Now. look here, Murphy, l don't want
any monkeying about this Fl Of
your sensational finishes. You just cut
the old horse loose and send him along
from the fall Of the flag to the finish. I've
got a lot of money on the race,and l don't
want to be worried about the result"
Murphy showed his white teeth in a
smile of acquiescence, and then in a low
tone informed the ladies In Baldwin's
party hat he would 'make the old man
faint away" When the flag fell, Murphy
pulled Volante back 10 fourth place and
held him steady around the first turn /;
down the backstretch the leaders flew,
with Murphy trailing along quietly on
Nolante, as though he was out for n pleas
ure ride. Baldwin began 10 kick, and bit
oil a big chunk OF tobacco and began to
chew at n tremendous rate. As the horses
rounded the lower turn and entered the
stretch Murphy began moving up inch by
inch, but il seemed an impossibility
he did, and one by one they
surrendered until when within a
hundred feet of the wire Vol ante had
disposed of all but one. Then with n
magnificent exhibition of horsemanship
Murphy fairly lifted his mount up 10 even
terms and in the last bound landed Vo-
lante "a winner by a nose, or, as the sport
ing fraternity term il. 'by an eyelash."
Before the jockeys dismounted Baldwin
turned to a member of the party and said:
George, l wish you would get these vo-
lante tickets cashed and bring the money
down to the hotel for me. I'm going home
right away; / don't feel well. Some fell
low swallowed a chew of tobacco which /
had i'm my mouth when that black devil
made that close finish"

A. Denny, a wealthy citizen, and told him
they wanted a tablet to mark the spot
ut Port Madison where their great chief
had been buried. Mr.. Denny gave them
encouragement. They then went to Hill
