HOW 60 Get Good ROADS.

The latest scheme to obtain good
roads is one that may merit graver
consideration than il at FIRST is
likely to receive
The Constitution of the United
States gives the government the
power to establish (build post
roads, and such roads can neces-
sarily be nude to include al roads
over which mails are carried The
United States having undertaken
the transportation of all the mails
and having established ell the post
Offices why should the state or
county be required to keep up
these post roads? Now under
this provision aud for this reason,
the government of the United
States might undertake a very
comprehensive system of road
building. We do not mean that
the government should undertake
to reach all the post offices by
means of It's own highways, but a
number of main roads could be
built to which all other roads would
tend. We can conceived nothing
that the government could do that
would be of greater benefit then
the construction of such roads. It
would not only give employment
to idle labor. but by the establish
ment of such roads it would make
farm life in the country delightful,
and not unfit to live one-half the
year as it now is. Wherever good
roads are built the value of farm
property increases. We do not
need all the money we have raised
for the Spanish war. We shall
not need what we are now raising
by Internal revenue taxes. Who
would not be willing to see these
revenue taxes continued indefnite-
ly if it secured to us good travers-
able roads at all seasons of the
year? These ideas we get from
Southern Farm Magazine, and
they are worth thinking over.

Washington, Nov. s.-The navy de-

etiquette, refused to make the dispatch
public until the secretary had given his
consent. The dispatch reads as fol-
lows, under date of Charleston, S. c.,
Nov. 5:
Arrived here in steamer Merritt
with all the crew of the Infanta Maria
Teresa, abandoned in heavy north
eastern Nov. L, 80 miles north of San
Salvador. Have So enlisted men,
Upon the receipt of the news the
naval officers attached to the naviga-
ton bureau Immediately consulted the
ter.
The first glance satisfied them that
the last had been seen of the Inflated
Maria Teresa. AS near as they could
calculate the vessel lies In about 1900
fathoms OF water, or nearly three
miles.
The location is about 235 miles dis
tant from Nassau. AT the time the
Teresa sunk she was about 80 miles
distant from Caimanera, the port from
which she started a little over two
days before.
Looking at the chart it was not difh-
cult for the officers at the department
to see how the ship had foundered I'M
der the influence of a heavy northeast
gale reported She had just emerged
from the Crooked Passage, and to
make her course she was obliged to
lay with her head about northwest.
This would bring the heavy sea fair
" over her forward side, and under
such severe pounding the vessel must
have soon succumbed There was no
alternative. On her lee lay the rocky
Bahamas and innumerable shoals with
shadows between and with shallow
water in every direction, except
straight ahead or directly astern.
Acting Secretary Allen of the navy
said the loss was much greater than
any intrinsic value represented in the
ship. She was the link that connected
the great naval victory with the Unit
ed States It was a sentiment bred in
the country that succeeded in raising
her, and it was the wish of the whole
people that she should be brought to
the United States. The expense in
raising her was about 100000.
It was the general impression about
the state, army and navy building that
the loss of the Maria Teresa would
prevent any further attempt to bring
any of the other vessels to this coun-
try.

A few years ago, when Evange-

slums of large city, be was de-
Iayed in leaving the hall till late in
the evening. The exit was in a
back street, and as he left the
building he found number of
roughs waiting to annoy him. AS
he walked along he heard them
say, Here he comes!" and they
prepared to jostle him from the
sidewalk. Going straight up the
ring-leader Mr.. Moody held out his
overcoat, and, with self-possession
that commanded complete respect,
said:
my friend, won't you just help
me on with this overcoat? L am
not quite SO active now as I was at
your age, and some day, when you
are as old as L am, I'll be glad to
do you the same favor"
No bully was ever more com
pletely taken back with surprise.
He held the overcoat for the Evan
gelist to get into it, and then
thanking the young man for his
aid, Mr.. Moody, went along un-
molested.-Nov. Ladies' Home

HUNTINGTON, Nov. 7th, 1885,
Last Saturday afternoon the dead
body of an unknown man was
found lying near the track of the
Ohio River Railroad Company be-
tween Ceredo and .Kenova. The
body was lying in drain over a
slight embankment and from APP
pearance death may have ensued
several hours previous. There
were no papers about the dead
mans body by which he could be
identified, neither was there any
money on his person. The unfor-
.tunate mans skull was fractured
and the injury did not look as
though it had been made by being
struck by train. Many believe
that some foul play has been in
dulged in and Marshal Marcum.s.of
Ceredo, and Marshal Kelley, of
Kenova, are working diligently on
the case. The unknown man was
about five feet six inches tall,
sandy hair and mustache, blue
eyes, apparently thirty years of
age and was fairly dressed There
is considerable mystery surround
ing the case.
