Great Value to the Farmers.

Where six years ago there was not q foot of macadam in the western part of Bergen county, N. J., there are now miles and miles of beautiful macadam- ized roads, which it is not only the de- light of the city folks to ride over, but of great practical value to the farming community, which has long since real ized the benefits to be derived from good roads.
 Farmers who years ago found it inn possible to pull more than n moderate load into Paterson with two stout horses, Foing at walk all way, can now take all they can pile on their wagons and in many cases can trot their horses c,m- fortably.

Weight of Road Rollers.

Great differences of opinion exist re- garding the proper weight of roller to be used in tho different kinds of road making, but it is reasonably well set tied that roller of any given weight cannot be used to the same advantage on all kinds of roads, and that the weight of the roller in each case should if possible be adjusted to answer the condition presented. A comparatively light roller of large diameter may be used to advantage where tho ground is soft and yielding. but the same roller would hardly answer to consolidate heavy and moderately firm materials. It is therefore best when possible to use q roller which may be loaded and light ened at will to answer these several conditions, remembering. however, that the final work of the roller can hardly be done by too heavy q machine, and that the process of rolling is more like ly to be discontinued too quickly than unduly prolonged, which latter is in deed hardly possible in ordinary condi- tions.

 PARIS, Oct. 27.-Onc must wander through tho qunint bourgeois town at Reail, n few leagues from Paris, to find the forgotten home of Josephine. Un- doubtcdly words could easily have been found to describe 'Malmaison" in its hal cyon days, but one refuses to search for ad- jcctivCs that arr adequate to describe it in its ruin. It Is dismal, pathetic, hopeless It was hero possibly that the wife of Ma polcon passed the happicst and most mis- crable days of her life. The French, who are accredited with being n nation of sen timcnt, sold it some yCars ago to n private individual. He undoubtedly bought it as speculation. It was failure in that re spcct. for it has never been sold by the original purchaser. At the present time it is posted with announcements advcrtis- ing the chateau and park for sale at . francs 50 CCntimCs the meter.

Keen the Road surfacc smooth.

The surface of the road should be smooth, for smoothness means easy haul ing. The surface of the road should be hard, for hardness prevents the forma- tion of ruts and the sinking of wheels into the surface. Besides a hard road surface will shed water quickly, and if water is quickly carried of the road way will be kept dry and the formation of mud holes avoided Exchange.

LONDON, Nov. s.-A Shang ghai dispatch snys that the report of tho capture of Talienwan by the JapancSs has not been confirmed Tho reports havo been con frmcd. however. that tho JaTancse are steadily rcpuIsinR detached bodies of Chi nese and that they have taken Port Kin chau. The Japanese force that landed on Oct. 25 north of Llliott islands first marched eastward. probably to intercept the army sf General Sung. which was retreatinR from Flung Wang Ching. They then turned westward toward Ta!ionwan, advancing five miles daily.
 The dispatch adds thnt the reputation of the Japanese for humanity and for nay. ing for their supplies is doing thcm i'm menso service. Their nciion k in great contrast tO that nt tho Chinese, who mako war in the ancient manner. living on Ii q country through which they pass and who are dreaded hy the pcopls and officials alike in victory and defeat. An imperial audience within the palace at Feking has been arranged for the foreign ministers.
 It is stated that thCro arc diverse opin- ions in Japan respecting her terms for peace with China. A leading journal dc clares that she will require the ccssion of the island of FormoSa and an ample mon ey indemnity. Another journal says that Japan will demand the payment Of an indemnity ot ElOO. UOU. GOO in gold with which to establish n gold standard. The progressive papers, however. demand that Japan shall insist that China yield all hes warships arms, ammunition and the yes sells of the nina Merchants Steamship company. They also demand that Japan shall take possession of Shanghai and its customs revenues.
 A dispatch from Shanghai states that consternntiOn has been caused by the dis covery that the Pei Yang squadron has
 been caught in a't'ap nt Port Arthur by tho JapaneSs owing to the neglect or everything of u Hung Chang's orders. Ii Hung Chang disclaims any rcsponsi- hilifN in fhn mi nff fnr
