mmr THE ROADS OF THE WORLD. SOW OOCTWXBIK3 BUILD PATHS VOSL OOMMBROE AMD WAR. The AnotonC Woman ttoada?Those I or Moltem Miirnn*-*??..? . osn mid FIJI I loads. Since mankind constructol society and became distributed over the world roads hare been necessary to the existence and E ogress of the race. From the time of oses there hare been royal roads. First the Egyptians, utterarar-ls tho Israelites snd then the Greeks espied their lines of travel that were not tisod for anaaial ndemtaua llrAval rnn lo'' g\r tho V|iwia4 pvii ?VJ?I IVII ? VI Viiv king's highways. In Greece the royal roads wore inspected nnd caro l for by the senate at Athens. In Lacedo.nonia, Thebes and othor States they were under the supervisian of tho most eminent men. Their roads, however, wore not tho best of tho ancients'. It was reserved for a commeicial city, Carthage, to build tho Gret paved roads. Tho Romans followed the example oi the Carth&giuians. and these great highways, which connected Rome with its provinces, were the most renowned and durable over constructed. All over Europe, Asia and Aftica, wherever tueir Emperors ruled, they built roads that have been supposed by tho ignorant of different ages to bo of supernatural jPKfe continued existence of some of tihe.se wonderful roads thousands of years after their completion has proved the skill aud greatness of the master minds which planned aud built them. Tho Kornau via Appia, tho via Aurclia, tile via Fiatninia, the roads to tho Rhine and the Danube, and the 4000 mile* of road from the Wall of Antoninus in Great Britain through Koine to Jerusalem still reveal lessons of construction worthy of tho study of the road builder* of the nineteenth century. They were accurately divided by milestones,and ran in a direct line from one city to auother, with very little respect for the obstacle* of nature or private property. The middle part was raised iiito a toraeo and conaisled of several strata of sand, gravel and oeuiont, and was paved with largo stones, wilich, near the capital, were of granite. Adam Smith's assertion that 4,tho construction of rovls is the groatest of nil improvements," and the saying of tho Abby Keynal that "wherever we shall tiud no facility of travel from a city to a town or from a village to a htunlct wc may prououuee tho people to be barbarians" have long,especially in Europe, been accepted by ininkin I. Iliads are the acknowledged civilizer* of tho world. American* who tlnd themselves in [Europe are struck with a-touishmeut at the enormous loads dtawu by horses and dog*. Ouo glance of the eye from the loads to the roads and half the wonder would be uncounted for, because the roads have almost everything to do with it. Tho ancients knew and appreciated tho importance of good public roads. '.Many of tho roads built by the aucient 'Koiuans and traveled by the proud Jlioiuau conqueror* remain to this day. This is particularly tho case 111 Turkey, =??mm!iy.. era, been in use, with little or no repair. Roads in Europe lire quite usually flunked on either side l?y two nud sometimes four rows of slunk* trees, which add much beauty to thecountry through'which they run and from a distance are particularly picturesque where several roads intersect. One can mark the roads in tin ir windings sometimes as far as the eye can reach by these fresh green shade trees, which, with the various teams ol horses and dogs laden with the products <>( farms, mines and shop, conspire to make a very pretty scene. The public roads of llulgiuut enter into successful coiupetiou with the railroads, so much so that a man who has his team does not by any inuans consider himself forced to send his products by rail. One can mouut his wagon at the English Channel and drive through tile breadth of Europe (except in time of mow), or its length, without sinking as. deep us tin* tellies ol Ins wheels iu the mud, in any weather at any time of the year. The ro i ls are so firm that rain ioes not soften they, they are no sloughs l ? w;i le throu.'h, no perio Is when the j factory an i the farm are cut o'l from t!ie icst of the world by an iiupnssable sea of mud. The loss iu break downs of vehii'Ii'-j <>f It^' iki'.gC in har.io .s, iu time to nbor, iucro ise I foo I, shortened life ami injuries to horses by bid roads in the United Stales would amount to an immcn-c sum of money if statistics could be path red and formulated. Railroads, iiUo, are directly interested in good country run Is. Whatever opens up the remote farm lot for easy hauling to the railroad station, or brings an additional aero of arable land nearer to the city, cheapens the market for the poorest and increases the volume* of trade and corn merco for all. The French roads have compelled the helper and admiration of foroignors for a century, and of all the roads in the country those considered the most cxecl lent and at the same time most dillicult of maintenance happen to lie in the most rugged ot the Alps, with their peaks for ever snowclad and rising to a height of li,ubO leet. These Alpine roads aro numerous of easy grade, solidly built, always open and al vays good save when temporarily blocked with sno v.

Tiie greatei part of the rouds in Franco art' mieidiimized, it is only in to vns that piviug stones are use I. A serious objection to the use of the la'tor in cities lies in the ready weapons which they a'lord in the hauds of mobs during periods of riot. No part of t tic road system is neg lectod; the routes arc divided intc sections of half a mile to three miles in length, according to the importance ol the roil, < r i of which ;s entitle I to a man or nunibT of nu i. s> that every foot o; the rui livav is i is.?coto i daily and is kept in thorou gh repair. fu rcsp' v to coastra :tio i the fJjr nai road making n identicil with that of France ap t Swit?or!m 1.

In winter they were covered with snow and in summer thoy wero always being repaired." In no country in the world is the construction of roadwav* carried nut with more scientific lit and tunrougnucss than in Switzcrlnud. The mountainous naturo of the country, the consequent difficulty of providing means of easy communication between points an 1 110 severe tests to which roads arc subjected by tlio violunceof stor ms and the sudden swelling of water courses, have from tho earliest period rendered the ?u'i? of road building one of primary importance to tho dwellers in tho Alps. One of tho greatest charms of English scenery to the American visitor is the beauty of its bolgcliued, sto r.-b : He 1 roads. Much of England's scenery would be nothing without them. Tins country roads in Ireland su f r materially from comparisons with the roads in Eng land ami Wales, but as co:nparcd with the average country road in the United Htutes they scum to approximate closely to perfection. The c ourse describe I by the country roads in Ireland is most irregular and even tortuous, tho apparent purpose being to avoid the points of tho compass, but they are none the less beautiful on that account. In South America there are hardly any roads worthy of the name.

Bruce, of New York, and Frank Packwood, Jr., aged four, only make the case more mysterious than ever. The scene of the murder is a beautiful and romautic spot, seven iniles below Smyrna, or half way between Smyrna and Oak Hill. A ^rewsome fatality seems to have clung to it, for it was here that the Shives faiuily?father, 6on, wife and baby?were murdered by the Indians in the war of 1856. The house where this later day murder was perpetrated is on the site of those ruins. It stands on n shell mound thirty feet above the Hills uv/i yj i i * vi | uuvi vvuiiiiauvi* a uin^uiuv/vuv view of the two graceful sweeps of that stream. WHERE THE DEED WAS DOME. On this mound are two houses; one house of two rooms was used for n dining room and kitchen. A house of the same size twenty steps away is where the deed was committen. These houses are shaded and surrounded by ancient cedars, fir trees, oaks, palmettos and palms, back or west of the house is a dense hammock with a fiat pine and beyond. Saturday at 10 o'clock iu the morn ing, the murder was discovered and i horrible picture it was. On her back by the window in a pool of blood, Mrs. Hatch lay with a pistol ball wound oc the inside corner of her left eye. Her face was blackened with powder Th-i other bodies lay near her. Whet the crash camo she had evidently beer naar the window. When the murderei entered, her little son, frenzied witl fright, had probably fled as a child woulc and had sought refuge iu tho bed clothei of a lounge at the end of the room. H< was torn from these, shot over the lofi eye and his throat cut from ear to ear. thkir awpuii work comi*letb. On the bed lay the body of Miss Bruce shot through the face and her head terri bly bruised by blows from a gun stock the shattered remains of which showei the force of the murderous blows. Sin had been beaten all over the body Nearby lay pretty Frank Packwood witl his throat cut. Mr. Packwood had gone to Orltudo in South Florida, the day before Th murderers probably watched his de parture. A posse of one hundred armed mei have been out since Saturday morning but no trace of the murderers has ye been secured. It was tirst thought tha the crime was the work of tramps, bu this delusion was subsequently dispellei by finding a trail leading arouud th yard to the north and theu through th hammock, south to the load, a path tha none could travel unless ho was fainilia with the country. Mr. Packwood ha suspicions, and will give them to th coroner's jury only, when it is expectei that several arrests will be made.
