NEW PAVING MATERIAL.
Oakland, Cal, Is Trying an Expert
ment with Asphalt and Red
wood Blocks Combined.

Fifteen or twenty years ago a good
deal was heard of wood pavements for
streets. They were quiet and smooth
and fairly well suited to the residence
districts of a city, but did not stand
the wear and tear of heavy traffic very
well. Then, when the blocks became
worn and rotten, as they did, they alb
sorbed disease germs and 1essened the
salubrity of the neighborhood. OF late
wood pavements have gone out of fash
ion almost entirely. Something new
in this line is now reported from Oak
land, Cal, however, and it may prove
so successful as to revolutionize the
ideas of civil and sanitary engineers.
In Oakland the wear and tear comes
on a layer of asphalt which covers the
wood and not directly on the latter
The blocks are six inches square and
four inches deep. They are laid on a
bed of concrete, after having been
soaked in hot asphalt. A mixture of
hard asphalt and California liquid as
phalt, in equal parts, raised to tenn
perature of between $50 and 400 de-
grees Fahrenheit, is employed. The
interval during which immersion lasts
is from three to five minutes. This treat
ment renders the blocks waterproof.
They are then laid from curbstone to
curbstone.
A mixture of asphalt and carbonate
of lime is heated and poured upon
the wood pavement. This is so soft a
liquid that it runs down into all the
interstices, and even works its way I'M
der the wood, if there are any holes
there. Not until the fluid has been
poured on three successive times is the
surface properly covered and the spaces
between the blocks well filed. Sand
to the depth of quarter of an inch is
rolled into the asphalt when the last
application has been made of the lat
ter. The carpet thus formed has so
hard a surface that it withstands ordi-
nary light traffic for two or three years.
1t can be renewed at an expense of less
than half cent per square foot. Re
newal seems to be necessary where red
wood is used, but hard wood can re-
main bare for longer time without in
jury. Y. Tribune.

feared that all his guns had been cap
tured and that good many of the ar
tillerymen had been shot. He offered
no excuse whatever. He might have
said that a flag of truce was used to
mislead him, and that this led to his de-
feat. But he told the plain truth with
out CLOSING over the distressing parts
of the report.
''Wolford, after he came to command
a brigade and a division, was so con-
stantly on the move, was in so many
engagements, that we of the infantry
came to regard him as a handsome,
dashing man like Rousseau, always in
front on prancing horse and always
in state of great excitement. On one
occasion when I was on the generals
staff I was sent forward to Wolford
with message. His whole command
was engaged and there was a tremen-
dous racket. I could see that the troopL
were being well handled and L rode
toward the front, expecting every MIN
ute to come on Wolford and his staff.
ST saw two rather slouchy-looking or
ficers sitting on fence, and I stopped
to ask where 1 would find Wolford. One
of them seemed to be very much inter
ested in the fight, but he was calm
ly whiting a splinter from a fence
rail, and, looking up, asked what L
wanted with Wolford. l replied that l
had a message from the commanding
general. Very well, them said the Of
ficer, you may give it to me. L am Col.
Wolford.' I did not believe it for min
ute, but then I saw that he wore a
colonel's shoulder straps, and after
looking him over suspiciously 1 decided
that 1 would give the message.
''As he read the message or the order
he turned and said something in low
tone to his companion on the fence,
and the latter, jumping down, gave
low whistle, an orderly came up with
horse and away he went to push for
ward the line on the left. Then VOL
ford turned to me and said: The gen
eral wants to know how the fight is go
ing. Will you tell him that I'll be
blanked if I know? 1 think we are go
ing to whip them, but if we do it will
be a heavy job, and none of US are shout
ing any. Yes he said, as he jumped off
the fence, you present my compliments
to the general and tell him that L am
blanked if I know how the fights go
ing Chicago Inter Ocean.

DEWEY INTERVIEWED.
The Admiral speaks About the Phlippsns
sItuation-He Punctured Talk About
a Presidential Nomination.


New York. Sept. 2s.-In his first in
terview on American shores since the
memorable battle of Manila bay, Ad-
nniral Dewey talked of the Philippine
situation. He emphatica1ly expressed
his absolute confidence in the ability OF
the United States to settle the ques-
ton and as emphatically declined, even
with show of irritation, to talk about
the attitude of Admiral Deidrichs at
Manila. He punctured the talk of his
accepting the nomination for the pres
idency and denied that the Filipinos
were now capable of running their
own government. He spoke in a SAN
guine way of his health. Aguinaldo
he stamped as a figurehead. In an
answer to a question regarding the sit
uation in the Philippines, Admiral
Dewey wheeled half way round on his
heel and said brislly:
There good many questions which
may be expected to talk, but viii have to de-
fer to a great extent my opinions until have
reported to Washington. I shall go there on
Tuesday, and cannot say how long my stay at
the capital will be. So long as the governments
sees 1T to keep me there shall stay. AS to the
Philippines, am talker; never was have
often wished that I could talk, but never
made speech. and I'm too old to learn those
tricks. You know as much about the Phil
ippineS do. Any intelligent American citi-
zen who has followed with the right interest
what has happened there since whipped the
Spanish feet knows much of that problem as
or any man aboard ship.
Ever since left the islands I have read ev-
erything bearing upon the islands and what has
tranSpired there since left that could OBJ
tain. At the time left said that the insur-
gents were their last legs. It's got TO come.
They can't stop it. They can't hold out against
the army and navy. I believed then that they
would be unable to secure arms and ammuni-
ton, without which they could not wage war,
but I have learned through the newspapers
supplies. That must be stopped and the insur-
gents will then be of little strength. They are
good soldiers, splendid ones, and their powers
of endurance are remarkable
The criticism aimed at Gen. Otis
from certain quarters was mentioned,
and Dewey said, with quickening in
tereSt:
The last thing that told Otis when left Ma
Ala was this: You're trying to do too much -
He's down there wearing himself out, and more
than once have told him that if he did not give
up some of his work home he'd die
there in year, and believe it, too. Gen. Otis
is an unusually painStaking man, and he's not
only governor general and directing the move
ments of the army in the field, but he's working
under his notice in the way of putting down the
rebellion and bringing order out of chaos in the
islands.
Gen. Otis has some exceptionally able lieu
tenants and he should utilize them. With the
new troops being hurried to him and COM
parative familiarity of what we have to over
come, I think the outlook is cheering one.

To Keep out Tuberculosis.

In keeping the herd of dairy cows
free from tuberculosis a few general
rules at least should be observed First,
know that the herd is free from the dis
ease. Then do not bring new cow into
the herd unless she has been first tested
by tuberculin. If milk is taken to
creamery and skim-milk brought back.
do not permit it to be used till it has
been pastuerized. This viii not only
make it safe to feed to calves, but if it
is fed to pigs viii also prevent the dis
ease being spread in that direction,
which means its getting a foothold on
the farm. Do not under any cireum-
stances permit strange cattle to run in
the pastures or occupy the stables.
Above all, do not permit a consumptive
person to take care of the cows.-Farm-
eTs' Review.

when Liquor Was Plenty.

Suffers played rather a queer part
in retrograde movements, said the cap
tain. When an army was ordered to
retreat, the beer, ale and whisky which
suffers had in stock and which were
not sold to private soldiers under or
binary rules were disposed of reckless
ly. 1 know of one case in which one
of the important gaps to the east Of
Chattanooga, guarded by one of the best
companies in the service, was endan-
gered by a sutler opening up his stock
of liquors in anticipation of an order
to move to the rear, because of the for
ward movement of the army to Resaca
and Atlanta. Men unused to such prod
igality drank more than they would
have done under ordinary circum-
stances, and for five or six hours were I'M
fit for duty. Fortunately they had the
fighting instinct all through their
spree, but if an attack had been made
no one could have foretold the result

GRANT AND SHERMAN.
a Memorable Instance of Their Gem
erOus Appreciation of Each
Others Abilities.

a little before nine o'clock on the
evening of September 4, while the gen
eral was having a quiet smoke in front
of his tent and discussing the campaign
in Georgia, dispatch came from Sher-
man announcing the capture of Atlanta,
which had occurred on September 2. 1t
was Immediately read aloud to the staff,
and after discussing the news for few
minutes and uttering many words in
jpraise of Sherman the general wrote
the following reply: 81 have just re-
ceived your dispatch announcing the
capture of Atlanta. In honor of your
great victory l have ordered a salute
to be fired with shotted guns from every
battery bearing upon the enemy. The
salute will be fired within an hour, amid
great rejoicing"
In the meantime the glad tidings had
been telegraphed to Meade and Butler,
with directions to fire the salute, and
not long afterward the roar of artillery
communicated the joyful news of vic
tory throughout our army and bore sad
tidings to the ranks of the enemy. An
answer was received from Sherman, in
which he said: 81 have received your
dispatch, and will communicate it to
Che troops in general orders. =
L have always felt that you would take
personally more pleasure in my success
than in your own, and L reciprocate the
feeling to the fullest extent" Grant
then wrote to Sherman: 81 feel that
you have accomplished the most gigan-
tic undertaking given to any general
in this war with a skill and ability
which will be acknowledged in history
as unsurpassed, if not unequaled. 1t
gives me as much pleasure to record
this in your favor as it would in favor
of any living man, myself included"
The above correspondence with Sher-
man recalls the letters which were in
terchanged between them after Gen.
Grants successes in the west. The gen
eral wrote to Sherman at that time:
'What l want is to express my thanks

AN ODD CHARACTER.
of Gen. Wexford, of
Kentucky.

''The oldest character among the
Kentucky colonies of the civil war;"
said the captain, was Col. Woiford, of
the First Kentucky cavalry. Probably
no name was more familiar to the in
fantry of the army of the Cumberland
than Wolford's. Even when he COM
manded only a regiment he seemed to
be constantly in hot water, and, as the
boys put it, he was always feeling the
enemy. When he came to command
brigade and a division he seemed to be
more active and to have greater luck
in striking the enemy or in being
struck, because Wolford was not the
kind of man that was uniformly on
top.
ION one occasion he was surrounded
by the cavalry of the enemy and cut
his way out with difficulty. He imme-
diately sent report to Gen. Burnside
stating the plain facts of the case, say
ing in effect that he had been surround
ed, that he and part of the command
had cut their way out, but that he

whom, above all others, feel indebted
for whatever 1 have had of success.
How far your advice and assistance
have been of help to me yon know.
How far your execution of whatever
has been given you to do entities you to
the reward L am receiving you cannot
know as well as 1. feel all the graft
tude this letter would express, giving
it the most f1attering construction"
Sherman wrote no less manly letter
in reply. After insisting that Gen.
Grant assigned to his subordinates too
large a share of merit, he went on to
say: al believe you to be as brave, patri-
otto and just as the great prototype,
Washington; as unselfish, kind-hearted
and honest as man should be; but the
chief characteristic is the simple faith
in success you have always manifested,
which l can liken to nothing else than
the faith Christian has in the Saviour.
= l knew, wherever l was, that
you thought of me, and if l got in a
tight place you would help me out if
alive" The noble sentiments expressed
in this and similar correspondence were
the bright spots which served to relieve
the gloomy picture of desolating war
