THE ROADS OF THE WORLD. HOW COUNTRIES BUII.D PATHS FOR COMMERCE AND WAR. The Ancient Koiii.tu Kmulx?Those ol Moil'trii Kurope? south American <villi F|Ji lloiitU. Since tnaukind constructed society and became distributed over the world roads have boca necessary to the existence and progress of the race. From the timo of Moses there have been royal roads. First the Egyptians, afterwards the Israelites and then the Greeks called their lines of travel that were not used for Qnppinl tiiirnn<iiu ''rnrrtl rnn UM nr t.ho king's highways. In Greece the royal roads were inspected and eared for by the senate at Athens. In Lacede.nonia, Thebes and other States they were under the supervisiau of the most eminent men. Their roads, however, were not the best of the (indents'. It was reserved for a commercial city, Carthage, to build the jrst paved roads. The Uomans followed the example or the Carthagiuians. and these great highways, which connected Rome with its provinces, were the most renowned and durable ever constructed. All over Europe, Asia aud Africa, wherever their Emperors ruled, they built roads that have been supposed by the ignorant of different ages to be of supernatural The continued existence of some of these wonderful roads thousands of years after their completion has proved the skill and greatness of the master minds which planned aud built them. The Roman via Aopia, the via Aurelia, the via Flaminia, the roads to the Rhine and the Danube, aud the 400U miles of road from the Wall of Autoninus in Great Britain through Rome to Jerusalem still reveal lessons of construction worthy of the study of the road builders of the uinetceuth century. They were accuratelj* divided by milestones,and ran in a direct liue from one city to another, with liUln ?1... X..J ...V.V. V.tU UimiWIBJ IJl nature or private property. The middle part was raised iuto a terace ami consisted of several strata of sand, gravel and cement, and was paved with large stones, which, near the capital, were of grauito. Adam Smith's assertion that "the IBtaqau?xonatiruction of roads is the greatest of all improvements,'' and the saying of the Abby lleyual that "wherever wo shall find no facility of travel from a city to a town or from a village to a hamlet we may prouounce tho people to be barbarians" have long,especially in Europe, been accepted bymaukinl. U iads are the acknowledged civilizors of the world. Americans who hud themselves in ^Europe are struck with a^touishment at the euormous loads dtawu by horses and dogs. Oue glance of the eye from the loads to the roads and half the wonder would be accounted for, because the roads have almost everything to do with it. The aucients knew and appreciated tho importance of good public roads. Many of the roads built by the aucient 'Romans and traveled by the proud Jtoman conquerors remaiu to this day. iThis is particularly the case in Turkey, em, boon in use, with little or 110 repair. Roads 111 Europe arc quite usually flanked on either side by two aud sometimes four rows of shade trees, which add much beauty to thecouutry through'which 1 ,111 Oiul frnin <1 |1 iatonnn 11 rn nnrlinn. J ' UUW l,V,M U'l.-JfWUVV ?nv lnrlv picturesque where several roads intersect. Oue cau mark the roads in tlx ir windings sometimes as far as tho eye can reach by these fresh green shade trees, which, with the various teams ol horses and dogs laden with the products ol farms, mines and shop, conspire to make n very pretty scene. The public roads of Belgium enter into successful eompetion with the railroads, so much so that u innu who has his team docs not by any means consider himself forced to send his products by rail. Oue can mount his wagon at the English Channel and drive through the breadth of Europe (except iu time of" snow), or its length, without sinking as. deep as the fellies of his wheels in the aiud, iu any weather at any time of the year.

The loss in break downs of vehicles, of breakage in harness, in time to ubor, iucroiso I food, shortened life and injuries to horses by bad roads in the United States would amount to an immense sum of money if statistics could bo gathered and formulated. Railroads, i.lso, are directly interested in good country roads. Whatever opens up the remote farm lot for euy hauling to the railroad .station, or brings an additional acre of arable land nearer to the city, cheapens the market for the poorest and increases the volumer of trade and commerce for all. The French roads have compelled the tetfpec. nucl admiration of foreigners for a century, and of nil the roads in the country tho^e considered the most excellent and at the same time most difficult of maintenance happen to lie in the most rugged of the Alps, with their peaks forever .snowelad and rising to a height of 11,000 icot. These Alpine roads aro numerous, of easy grade, solidly built, always open and al vays good save when temporarily blocked with sno v. They are subjcctc 1 to the most changeful and violent forces of nature. Snow, trust, Ice and furious glacial torrents springing suddenly into existence at unexpected points have sought for a decade to destroy them, but in vain. Tiie greatei part of the roads in Franco are macadamized , it is only in to vns that paving stories are used. A serious objection to the use of the latter in cities lies in the ready weapons which they a'lord in the bauds of inob* during periods of riot. No part of the road system is neg lected; the r >utes are divided inte sections of half a mtle to three miles in lrogth, according to the importance of the road, each of which is confide I to a man or numli-r of nu i, so that every foot oi the railway is impede 1 daily and is kept in thorough repair. fn respect to coiHt.ru ttioa the fljr na 1 road making is identic il with that of France and Switzerland. Every im portant road is a graded ma^i lamizod turnpike, with culverts of missive 9toae, ditches on either side and goucrally lineo with trees, eitlmr poplar, sycamore 01 linden.

The mandolin, banjo, and glee clubs of Harvard University will give public performances during a Western tour in the last week of tho year. It appears that Sir Edwin Arnold tickled the fancy, raised the pride, and touched the heart of the Uostonians by saying that they speak the English speech better than the people of any other American city. At Santa Rosa, in the republic of Uruguay, 200,000 vine shoots were planted this year. Next year there will be twice ns many planted. They grow luxuriant* ly and bear abundantly in that part of Uruguay, and are profitable to their owners. The Australian city of Melbourne, which was founded less than 50 years ago, has already a population of Nearly half a million, and staude fifth among the cities of tho British empire. It is now a great shipping port, aud its slum quarter is small. It appears by the report of the treasurer of Yale College, which has just been published, that the gifts received by the college during the year covered by the report amounted to the large sunU'df"" $343,395. The gifts ranged from $100 to $50,000. In Athens, Ga , a system of electric railway and a system of electric fire alarm have been established this year. In the coming year a new system oi street paving ami a new system of waterworks are to be established. The introduction of small factories of many kinds is to be encouraged there. Judge Crisp's father and mother were ton was s"> called bccau3o in format times travelers passing over insecure road leading through forests or thinly settled districts were escorted by armed knights who levied this safeguard duty iu return for their services. Russian highways are as a rule badly built and continually in prociss of mending. When Alexander Dumas returned from Russia, which he had been visitiug, he was asked how ho like I the roads in that country. Ho replied : "I never saw any. In winter they were coverc 1 with snow and in summer thoy were always being repaired." In no country in the world is the construct ion of roadwavs carried nut with more scientific skill and thoroughness than in Switzerland. The mountainous nature of the country, the consequent difficulty of providing means of ensv communication between points an i t ie severe tests to which roads are subjected by the violence of storms and the sudden swelling of water courses, have from the earliest period rendered the subject of road building oue of primary importance to tho dwellers in the Alps. One of tho greatest charms of English scenery to the American visitor is the beauty of its hedge-lined, stoa-.-bs Me I roads. Much of England's sccnerv would he nothing without them. Tho country roads in Ireland su Ter materially from comparisons with the roach in Eng land and Wales, but as compared with the average country road iu the United States they seem to approximate closely to perfection. The course describe 1 by the country roads iu Ireland is most irregular and even tortuous, tho apparent purpose being to avoid the points of the compass, but they arc uone the less beautiful on that account. Iu South America there are hardly any roads worthy of the name.

Nearly one hundred delegates from every part of the I nited States and Canada were in attend auce. The meeting \\ iil occupy tlie entire week. A fund has been raised by the local labor men and the merchants of the city for the entertainment of the visitors, and near the close of the coii ventio i a grand banquet will be t ndcr d to the declgatei at the Florence Hotel. The feature of the meeting will be a number of excursions given by railroads to mines, furnaces, ami other industries iu the viciu ty. The executive committee arrived here several days ago to audit tlie accounts and prepare the nnnunl reports, wh ch were submitted. One of the important matters that will come up will be the question of recognition of working cards between the Federati n of La' or and the Knights of Labor, as suggested by the latter. While there are no matters of paramount importance to come before the convention much work will he done. The morning addresses were made by Governor 'i hotnns B. Jones on behalf of the Stntc of Alabama. City-Attorney J. Banks on behalf of the city of Binning ham and Samuel If. Freeman on behalf of local labor organizations. President Gompers responded. Orgnniz tion was allected and the usual comrnittic* were appointed. President Oompers, in his annual re port, reviewed the growth of the organ? zation. He set forth the history of the eight-hour movement which it hud been proposed to put into effpet by the mincis on the firei of last May, and expressed his chagrin at the failure of the movement. Fie impressed upon them the im portnnce of the movement, and cited many instances where it had been a local success. The president tecommended the election of a delegate to visit the Trade Union Congress of Great Britain and the Trade Union Congress of Get many, to be hold in 1892, and other labor organizations.

The institution was crowded with patients two years ago. and a bill for the establishment of a new asylum at Bangor wss introduced in the Legislature, but it lei'uscd to make any appropriation for the purpose. In the asylum are 678 patients, and the number is increasing rapidly. The authorities arc at their wits' end to know what to do with the uext batch of hi nfics. all the cells being occupied, while many patients are obliged to sleep on rots in the hallways. Five hundred theatres have been burnt down all the ryorld over in the last l<Hl years, entailing* loss of about 4000 lives. pany in the days before the war, and the future Speaker, then a youth, sometimes appeared on the stage in minor roles. His brother, Ilenry Crisp, who died about ten years ago, was an actor of promise, and had at one time been connected with Jno. T. Ford's company in Baltimore. Judge Crisp is said to have had a fine stage presence, but however that may be he is certainly a prominent ligure now on the national stage. It is not vory often that a preacher ,pf national reputation is met at a published appointment by a congregation of one But that is what happoncd to tho famous Parson Brv-wnlow?the Swift of nprovin rial age and place. It was before the war, when he was about equally venom ous sgniust the Baptists and abolitionists. The fame of his controversy with both filled several States. Somehow, though, when he stepped into the pulpit of a Methodist church in ClsrksvjUe, Teun., notoriously a Methodist town, ho found himself with just one auditor. The sexton even had gone away after opening the doors and ringing the bell. The parson looked about him for a minute, then lifted his hands and said, "Let us pray." The prayer was long and ferven' hut nobody came. At the close of it the minister sang a hymn. Still there were no more listeners. Drawing a long^ breath the preacher said, "Sister( xewtli be dismissed," then repeated the beuediction, grabbed Iiis hat and overcoat, and took the next train home. disgracedTTis calling. A Preacher Who Posed as An Evangelist Ie Put Out of An AnciiAt.fi. Hfttsl. Auoosta, Ga , | Special. ] ?Rev. Thos. II. Lcith, of Charleston, 8. C., the great evangelist who created so much religious excitement throughout South Carolina last year, was put out of the Augusta hotel here for being beastly intoxicated. Mr. Leith is a preacher of the ultras usatioual at ripe and his sermons last year drew immense crowds. He tised the most aggressive lauguage in his disburses, and made a specialty of society evils. In a sermon at Williston, 8. C., lust year he seriously offended many of his hearers by declaring that no man ever waltzed with a woman without having in his heart impure and unholy desires. As a strange coincidence, one of the gentlemen whom he offended on that occasion was present at the hotel and witnessed the maudlin scene in which the reverend gentleman was the disgraceful actor. Mr. Leith was forced to hunt for another hotel. A Minister Charged With Wife Stealing. Winston, N [8p?cial.]?Intelligence reached Wicstou that Rev Hnrrison Rlankenship, a Baptist preacher, was arrested on the Blue Rigde Mountain, in Wilkes county, upon the charge of deserting his family last summer and "skip ping" with the wife of bis neighbor, Thos. Waiters, both leaving at home several small children. Blankeuship, at the time of his sudden departure, was pastor of several churches in Wilkes end Ashe counties, and although his education was limited, he was gaining considerable popularity as a minister. Besides his pastoral charges he left a wife and eight small children, fonroi'wtfom have since died, and it is sai 1 by the attending physician thav death was brought on principally by the inability of the mother to properly provide and care for them, as the husband and father was their sole dependence for support. Blnnkenship came back to his father's, in Wilkes, where he was arrested, claiming thai he had secured a divorce from his wife and had married the woman with whom he had gone away. He lm> been tinned over to the authorities in Ashe, by whom he was wanted. The neighbors are sa d to be greatly wrought up over the man ner iu which the preacher lias acted. Two estimable and prominent ladies died here. The first was Mrs. M. M. Stockton, who pawl away at the age of 70 years. Five sons who are well-known business mer. >>f the county survive her.

On her back by the window in a pool of blood, Mrs. Hatch lay with a pistol ball wound on the inside corner of her left eye. Her face was blackened with powder. Ths other bodies lay near her.
