CoMMENDABLR ACTIvITY.-The Bel Air
Road League has made very substantial be-
ginning on the Emmorton road. Work was
begun at Mt. Carmel Church on Tuesday
crawling the worst places, and an immense
improvement has already been made. The
following named gentlemen have furnished
teams: Bell Brothers, S. A. wilkins, E. Ii.
Hall, Col. Emmor Morrison, w. T. Sawyer, Jno
Sawyer, W. 7. Demoss, W. E. Oliver,J. W.Spen-
Ger and G. S. Norris. This road is in charge OF
MIR. W. Z. Sawyer, but Messrs. E. II. Hall and
w. Boyd Bell have also devoted their personal
attendance to the work. In addition to the
drivers of the teams, three men are employed
to dig and spread the gravel. 1t is noticeable
that there is considerable spirit of formulation
between the different teams, all making good
time. On Wednesday morning several teams
arrived so early that Isaac, Mr.. E. Ii. Hairs
colored driver, said "Them niggers must have
set up all night" The hire of these teams and
men would amount to S36 day and the whole
is done gratuituously, without cent Of ex-
peuse to the county. Nearly all farmers liv-
ing along the line Of the road have responded
literally, and those who did not may expect
to get but little sympathy from their neigh
bors when they complain Of bad roads.
The gravel is procured from the pit OF Mr..
E. II. Hall, on the Abingdon road.

right angled triangle also an isosceles triangle
angle are equal Is not an isosceles triangle
a right angled triangle, when the equal angles
at the base are each angles of forty-ive degrees,
leaving the angle at the apex an angle OF
ninety degrees, or right angler" An affirm
alive answer to those questions would evident,
" be correct. But these questions, and this
answer and his additional explanations, have
no proper connection with the solution of the
problem under consideration. To the salts
faction of himself, and &c." and any other
sound mathematician, it can be demonstrated
that neither of their conditions answers all the
conditions of the problem.
They both are positively off the track, but
cannot tell them how or why without fur
nishing key that would unlock the secret.
To do this, would destroy the pleasure Of ex-
hausting their own ingenuity In finding it.

CHEAP HoRsEs.-Good horses are cheaper
in some parts OF the West now than dogs In
the East, for there are few dogs not owned by
some one, while the horses cannot be given
away All over the West horses have been
astoundingly cheap for some time, and two
or three dollars has been good price for a
good animal. A hundred head of ranch
horses, sturdy, unbroken broncos from Wy
oming, were sold in Denver for $50 and the
freight recently. 1t is reported that big
stock firm in Idaho has turned more than $50
ponies adrift to shift for themselves during
the winter, as it was cheaper to do this than
to provide food for them. The firm could
not get even dollar apiece for them.-Ne,C

But memory often shall fondly recall
Thy form in the scenes have witnessed witt

Thy form as identified sweetly with all.
Thy memory never shall fade from my heart
With first recollections of motherhood en-

All else of those days may depart;
But this in my heart is ever enshrined.
And often I'll think of thy parting adieu,
And often I'll visit thy grave with a tear,
And think that whene'er my visit renew
Thy spirit unseen may be lowering near.
Farewell, my dear mother, moment farewell
I'll meet you again on the heavenly shore,
Where spirits immortal eternally dwell,
