Kick About the Streets.

The question OF street paving seems
to be the absorbing topic of CONVEX
sation among our citizens at present.
Many complaints are being made on the
condition of Goldsboro and Jackson
street, the streets that were graveled
last spring, many claiming that mud
roads are nearly superior to those
roadways. and it is said that new
specifications calling for different ma
terial and methods of construction will
be asked for before further contracts
are let. Many are in favor of a gran
lite chip dressing for the top. claiming
that though more expensive than
crushed stone screening, it's durability
and cleanliness amply repays for the
added cost of construction.

civilizino the Indians.

The effect of education and of con-
tact with few of the better elements
of our civilization were noticeable at
Albany and Moose Factory There
was a certain degree of cleanliness in
the preparation of food, the Indians
were better dressed. and, although the
fur trade is sort of slavery, a great
er self-reliance was apparent. The
crew that took the commission from
Moose Factory to Abitibi were con-
slant in their vespers. and every
evening recited litany, sang a hymn,
and made prayer. There was
something primitive and touching in
their devotion, and it marks an adj
vance, but these Indians are capable
of leaving a party of travellers sudden
ly, returning TO Moose Factory in
dudgeon if anything displeases them.
and the leader of the prayers got
much the better Of one of the party
in an affair of peltries. But any fore
cast of Indian civilization which looks
for final results in one generation or
two is doomed to disappointment
