on June = that He Had No Wife.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 19.-The Hon.
W. c. Z. breckenridge delivered a lecture
at the gospel tabernacle in this city on the
night of June 2 last for the benefit Of a
local charitable institution. He had been
10 Lebanon. Tenn, where he delivered ar
address 10 the graduating class OF Cum
berland University, and gave the lecture
here without any personal remuneration.
At the conclusion OF his address Colonel
breckenridge was presented with a very
large and beautiful basket OF flowers. In
return for this compliment he made a high
" ornate and touching speech, taking oc-
casion TO say, in a pathetic manne that he
had no wife TO whom ne could give them.
This circumstance has been vividly re-
called by the revelation that Colonel Brock.
inridge was secretly married TO Mrs. Wing
April %. 1893, more than a month before
the date Of this apparently unnecessary
declaration.

at no time back up in the drain.
The crowning of the road should
be sufficient to cause the water fall
ing upon the surface of the road to
flow readily through the side
bitches. If it fails to flow away
and remains in the ruts and depres-
sions, it will increase the amount of
mud and the inconvenience of
travel. Roads in such a condition
should have good machines passed
oyer them as often as necessary to
make and keep the surface level.
1t is mistaken idea that an
underdraln laid in the middle of
the road will drain the surface of
the road. The travel and the
action of the water falling upon the
road will so effectually cover the
surface that no water on the road
will find It's way down to the drain
thus laid. To the contrary, the
horse tracks and ruts will hold
water like earthen vessels until it
is removed by evaporation or other
wise. Roads grayeled and drained
as proposed will cost from $4OO to
$500 "a mile, but when done they
will be%%good roads for II months
and commercially passable the re-
mainder of the year with a little
timely repairing.
Where gravel and stone are not
to be had at a reasonable cost we
know of no improvement so salts
factory in all respects as the roads
well graded and sufficiently drained.
Where gravel or broken stone can
be had, it Will be found that the
thorough drainage of the road as
proposed will save half the gravel
or stone that would otherwise be
required to make good road. A
dry foundation to build upon is
the most important factor in road
construction. Tile drains may be
used to intercept water percolating
through the earth Of the higher
ground adjacent and likely to inter
fere with the road, or springs or
secret places under the roadbed
may be drained out with tile so as
not to interfere with >the embank-
ment. After a road has been put
into good condition and thoroughly
underdrained nothing need be done
except to keep the surface of the
travel way smooth and the open
bitches free from any drift accum-
ulations. j. j. W. Billingsley.

DRAINAGE ALL IMPORTANT.
Unless Free From Water Good Roads
Cannot Be Maintained.

Cannot Be Maintained.
Among those who have given the
subject of road improvement care
full attention there is a settled con-
viction that the good condition of
any road depends upon system of
through drainage-a system which
embraces not only the removal of
the storm water which falls upon
the surface of the road and the land
adjoining, but also the water which
filters through the ground. The
latter, if allowed to percolate into
and through the subsoil underlying
the roadbed, will render the travel
way soft and springy, often affect
ing the compacted surface of the
road, so as to cause it to break up,
or, in other words, ''the bottom
drops out" Tie remedy is thor
ough draining.
In fact, the basis Of all road i'm
provement in the country is the
thorough drainage of the road sur
face and the foundation of the road
embankments. In the experiments
which have been made in road
drainage by laying one or two
lines of tile drains along the sides
and parallel with the road the re-
suit has been so satisfactory that
some persons have become enthused
with this method of road improve
ment and conclude that in 1T there
is a remedy for all the defects which
may be encountered. But we are
convinced that the best improve
ment of our highways will combine
at least three essential features,
which are:
t'irst-A road embankment of
sufficient height to be at least above
overflow from extraordinary rain
fall, and sufficiently crowning to
shed the water readily, and wide
enough to accommodate the trayel
and not Of a greater width.
Second-That the road shall
have open bitches on each side of
sufficient capacity to carry all flood
water from the roadway and from
the lands adjoining into the near
est water course without hindrance.
The surface or open bitches should
have such perfect grade that no
water will find a lodgment along
the line of the road ON either side.
Third-That two lines of tile
drains be placed parallel with the
roads, one on each side, at the base
of the embankment.
The underdrains should be laid
at the depth of three or more feet.
The size of the tile will depend on
the length of the drain and the fall
but it is probable that they should
not be less than 4 inches in diam
eter in any case, and as much
larger as the needs may require.
The three essential features named
embrace two systems-the removal
of the surface water speedily and
effectually, the removal of the
water of saturation remaining after
the removal of the surface water
and the prevention of the flow OF
soil water under the roadbed. The
underdrains should have a uniform
descent or grade to some natural
stream or outlet where the water
discharged will flow away freely and
