The Importance of <j.ood Com
mon Koads.
We take the following extracts from
an address of Prof.Sanfprd.ofGsorgia,
on •* The Importance of Goo^ Oommon
Roads”:
The cost of any article comprises two
element* ^ let —If# *Atual production ;
2nd—lu transportation to market. As
ons of the grand alms of Agricultural
Associations is to diminish the cost of
production, so another, not less
important, is to lessen the cost of
transportation. The fanner watches,
with intense anxiety, the influence of
the seasons, and yet the effect of cheap
and rapid transportation is hardly less
important All feel and acknowledge
the great utility, indeed, the
indlspensableness of railroads, but
very few ever Imagine that, valuable
and even necessary to society as
railroads are, because they annihilate
time and space, the common roads of
the country, those which lead from
neighborho d to neighborhood, *r
which connect the farms with the
market towns of the county, are far
more valuable and necessary.
Roads keep pace with the progress
of civilization. Wherever wo And ft
high degri-e "f intellectual culture,
civilization and refinement, there we
invariably find roads of the most
perfect character. And the converse
is equally true; that where a people
are but little advanced In civilization,
there we find roads corresponding to
this backward state of society.
In England, France, Germany and
Italy of modern time, and in the Roman
Empire of antiquity, we find their
roads surpassing those of all other
nations. It may at first strike us with
surprise, that manners, culture and
morals should bate so intimate a
connection with roads ; but the fact Is
indisputable that no nation which had
not previously provided facilities of
Intercommunication among its several
districts, by means of good toads, has
ever made any eminent advance in
science, culture or civilization.
A question may be asked : Do the
roads make the civilization, or does
the civilisation make the roada ? lam
inclined to think it is a little of botbi
The Influence of roads and civilization
Is intimats and reciprocal. But
whether roads are the effect or the
cause, it is plain that the existence of
good roads Is indicative of the progress
of a nation in general thrift and
prosperity.
In many districts of Illinois abd
Indiana, corn is sometimes actually
used for fuel, Instead of coal, as the
transportation to market would cost
more than the corn would sell for ; and
this waste, as it seems to us, of grain,
results from the want of good roads.
The rich silver mipes in many parts of
Mexico are comparatively valueless,
because the roads are so few and so
bad, that the expense of transportation
would exceed the value of the metals
dug from them. The same want of
roads prevents the transportation of
engines and other heavy appliances for
working'the mines. In Brazil, cattle
are slaughtered eimply for their hides,
while the excellent beef they furnish is
allowed to rot, or to become food for
vultures, because from the want of
roads It will not pay the cost of
tiansportation to market. Nor are
these merely isolated Instances. How
many sections of our own country
might be made doubly valuable if the
access to them were easy and
practicable. What immense quantities
of the finest timber, growing In the
forests at present Inaccessible, from
the want of roads, might be made a
source of wealth, by opening easy and
cheap communication, In the shape of
good roads.
The benefits of good roads may be
arranged under two general heads;
1st—Those which affect the moral,
and 2nd—Those which advance the
material or commercial Interests of the
community. As an example of the
first, we may take the change which
was affected In the high lands of
Scotland, by the Introduction of good
roads. The Scottish Highlanders lived
In a rugged and mountainous region,
completely shut out from the rest of
the world, the only approach to their
wild region being along paths so narrow
as barely to afford room for the passage
of persons on foot, or of a single
horseman. Their isolation from the
world resulted in making them a rude
and clannish community. Marshal
Wade, an eminent engineer, was
ordered by the English Government to
open a great military road through the
highlands. The result was, it is said,
that hla road did more for the
civilization of the Highlanders than
all the preceding efforts of the British
sOvetelgnS.
Aboht a hundred years ago, there
was a benighted district of country in
tfie southeast corner of France. The
inhabitants lived almost entirely cut
off from the outside world, Shut In by
the mountains, over which there wore
no roads, or none worthy the name.
A Moravian minister, by the name of
Oberlln, was appointed a missionary to
this people. Instead of proceeding at
once to preach the Gospel to them, be
proposed, like a sensible man, to
improve their physical condition, and
became practically an engineer. He
represented to the people how mnch
their physical condition might be
improved by having good roads, so
that they might import the comforts
OMlfe from other parts of Frans* To
this the people were gt first violently
opposed,as they had become habituated
to their indolent and comfortless style
of life. Their fathers had made such
roads os they had to answer all their
purposes, and they could do the same.
Oberlln persevered and finally led out
all bis whole community to open a
road. Then followed the building of
comfortablt and substantial houses,
Instead of the mlseiable shanties In
which they had formerly burrowed.
Aftetr this transformation in tbelr
physical condltlon.Oberlln proceeded to
introduce schools,and preached to them
the doctrines of a pure Christianity.
The change that ensued In the whole
moral and physical aspect of the people
was a wonderful tribute to the civilizing
Influence of good roads.
Various schemes, such as direct
trade, foreign Immigration, etc., have
been proposed within the last few
years, with a view to develop the
resources of our State, but t verily
believe that a good system of town and
country roads would avail tenfold more
to promote the wealth, prosperity and
strength of our State. Our’State is
now, and probably always will be,
mostly an agricultural country.
Everything, therefore, which serves as
an auxiliary to agriculture, should be
fostered aad encouraged. A system of
good common roads would afford
encouragement to agriculture. Let
such roads be made, and thus afford
tnean.) of cheap and easy transportation
t© market, and the farmer would. In a
sense, become independent. He would
not be compelled to haul his produce
through almost impassable mud holes,
miry lanes and boggy swamps, to a
market where he Is forced to dispose
of It at unremuneratlve prices, rather
than haul It home g£ain, but he could
wait until his orop should be called for
at his own door, or until he could learn
from the market quotations, that It
was to his interest to ship to market.
I believe that I am stating the truth
when I assert that bad roads cost
more than good ones. We complain
heavily of Radical taxation for the last
twelve years, and we bate abundant
and just reason for complaint, but I
venture the assertion that W6 pay
more for the privilege of riding otet
bad roads than for all onr national,
btat* and county taxes combined ; and
this point, I think, is susceptible of
demonstration. Now, let ua see Where
these taxes come In. Here la a farmer,
who, for the comfort of bfmaelf and
family,lnve6ta92001nabuggy. Now,on
a system of hard, smooth, well-graded
roads, the baggy ought to last, In good
running order, for ten years. In this
Instance, the aanaal outlay for baggies

last ten years f On our rough an
even roads; with ruts and holaabto
which the wheels are constantly faShg,
with the momentum of sledge-bammara,
we doubt whether the life of the
average buggy extend* beyond five
years. If this be true, then there an
annual expense of 940 for bq
920 more per annum than in tbit
of good roads. This extra tttOYp'br
annum is, to all Intents and purpose*,
a tax for the privilege of using bad
roads. And now multiply this Us for
every man In the State, who rides in s
buggy, and what a fearful arrgy of
figures does it bring out; a tax forth*
privilege of bad roada What I have
said in regard to tbs buggy, hold*
good with referenoo to road wagons,
carts and humbler conveyanosa, 1
venture to say, that If weoouldgetat
the extra cost of carriages, bufRlte,
wagons, etc., with the wear and tsar
of harness, and the unnecessary
consumption of horses and mules, we
should be astonished at the huge
amount. In dollars and cents, that this
fearful array of Items would foot bp,
to say nothing of personal discomfort
and the wear and tear of patlegoe,
which can not be reckoned In detlsrs
and dimes, but which seriously detract
from enjoyment
Again, another heavy tax which we
pay for bad roads Is this, that we are
compelled to keep a number of herees
and pay an amount for their sSfgort,
which would not be necessary under a
system of good roads. I thiak it a
moderate estimate to sdy, that taking
all the farms in our State, at least
one-fifth more horses are fe4 and
maintained to do the hauling ovhr bad
roads that wculd not be required on a
system of good roads. If this
hypothesis be correct, then do we not
pay a tax for the privilege of bad roads,
equivalent to the expense of supporting
one-flfth of the horses and males In
the State f
Another place where the tat for bad
roads coines In, is the lods of time.
Here is a farmer who lives ten mils*
from Soihe maiket town. He hail a
wagon and two good mules ; he loads
on two bales of Cotton and starts tor
toWn. With the rutty and boggy roads,
steep hills and deep mtld holes; ft is a
good day’s work to get those two bales
to market, dud return tn the da& W*
will suppose at a moderate estimate,
that bis wagon and team Si
82 50 per day. mw,
farmer bad a firm, smooth, wsll-gftUled
road, over which to drive bis wagofa, it
would be just as easy for his team to
carry four bales, as It Is new to carry
only two; in other words, be could
then accomplish in one day the same
amouht of hauling that now requires
two days. His team, as I have said,
being estimated at 92 50 per day, and
his being compelled to take two days
to accomplish the work of one, is it not
a logical Inferehce the farmer $ays a
tax of 92 50 a day for the privilege of
using bad roads f NoW multiply this
item by the number of farthers In the
Btate, who go through the identical
process numberless times during the
year, and what a fearful burden of
taxation it piles up. If this tax came
in a visible, tangible shape, or if It
were collected by Government officials,
backed up by bayonets, what an
amount nf righteous indignation It
would provoke I But it comes so noise
lessly and quietly, that our people
bear It With the equanimity of Chris
tian martyrs, and indeed seldom think
of it ad a tax at all.
Tears ago, before railroads bad made
their present stride, men doing busi
ness on Wall street, New York; often
had their residences in the country,
six or eight miles from the city. Reg
ularly every morning, they came into
their place of business by private con
veyance, occupying an bout in the
transit. Now, the same men have their
country seatt on the banks of the Hud
son, forty miles from the city; and
yet, with the same regularity and
promptness as before, they are sseh at
their Wall street offices—their trip to
the city, in consequence of the im
proved facilities for tratelllftfioccu-
pying no more than formerly. Al
though forty miles from tho city, they
are, for all practical purposes, just as
near to It as before. The same prin
ciple, though, of course, in a modlfled
degree, applies to oommon roads.

The CwhMtry's Nee*.
A contemporary wisely says: “What
our country needs to-day more than
the manufacturer, the merchant or the
lawyer. Is the farmer. It seems,
however, next to 1m possible to get
people to realize this fact, or to act on
it when they do. la spite of ths hard
times ysung men continue to lounge
around large cities, where there Is no
possible hope of employment, waling
for something to turn up, and ottSrly
neglecting the opportunities that are
presented In the country: The truth
Is, people now-a-davs are too much
afraid of much work, sod decidedly
object to that sort of Hvlsg which has
to be earned by the sweat of the brow.
They bad much rather live by the
sweat of somebody else’s, if they oso."

The storm that burst over Kansas
on the avenlng of frecoraticfa Day
seems to have been of a very furious
nature. It is said to have extended
over a tract of one hundred and fifty
by on* hundred miles, and to have
worked Its wsy in those doubling
Spirals common to what Is called a cy
clone. Fifty people are reported killed
by It nnd a great number wounded.
The destruction to bulldlcgs and cat
tle is described as enormous. Details
are given of a most extraordinary not
to say incredible character. Thus, al
ternate houses within a hundred yard*
of each other are alleged to have been
either uninjured or utterly destroyed.
The hurricane is declared to kat* bSen
visible to the eye, “funnel Bbdpbrf, >,
according to the dispatch of the Her
ald, moving “ with terrible velocity, kt
times dose to the earth, then bound
ing upward and almost disappearing.
The air assumed a thick sulphurous
smell, and the electric current could
be plainly seen and heard anapplog
like gun-shots.” Some observer* were
near the house of a man named Harris,
and we are told that “-they saw Har
ris’s resldenoe drawn in the vortex of
the cloud completely out of sight, and
Jo a few seconds falling timbers rained
upon them from all directions.”
The situation of these observers
must have been far from agreeable,
and. Indeed, it Is not easy to under
stand how they could subsequently
have bSen la a condition to tell tbelr
story. Thb line of the tornado is de
scribed as extending from Lee’s Sum
mit to Blue Springk. Throughout this
track great trees haVts been “ wrenched
off like pipestems, ponderous rocks
burled hundreds of yards, all vegeta
tion burned and blaokened, fences
houses scattered everywhere, dead
cattle and other stock scattered In
profusion In horribly mangled mas
ses.” The account of the state of the
unhappy persons who were killed Is
moVe striking. Ail the bodies were
covered With thick, bluish, aulphutous
mud. The clothing was stripped off
and tern to shreds. Shoes were totn
off, and the bodies burned And black
ened fearfully. Horses, cattle and hog*
were caught up on Mr: Harris's place,
and carried long distance* and dropped

being Invariably CAught Up in the air,
twisted and wrenched into fragments,
and then daabed down again upon the
ground. The day was one of ihtebse
beat, and all through tte evenlhg and
the bight there were violent electrical
demonstrations, but little or no rain.
From the statements we have quoted
it is manifest that that the hurricane
should be pronounced one of the most
astonishing upon record, and addition
al particulars will be anxiously looked
for, such as shall either confirm or
correct an account the details of which
are so marvellous, if, inded, we should
not say so unprecedented.
itic Story From Troy:
The following very romantic story
from Troy, New York, Is but the sub
stance of what happened In that city
many years ago. The characters that
appear as principals have passed awsy,
but tbelr descendants yet live among
us and occupy honorable position* In
society. Twb youhg men who bad
passed through college and graduated
with honor were studying medicine:
They Were fast friends, and Were al
most inseparable. They entered so
ciety together; and were well received
Into the best house*. They Were to
gether one evening at a reception in
one of the wealthiest mansions of the
city when a hew etftf appeared In the
person of a niece of the hostess, Who
bad come from Massachusetts. 8b*
was handsome, and reports ogre* in
saying ohe Was As good os she Was
pretty. Both of the medical students
wore smitten, and for the first tims in
their lives s feeling of estrangement
came between them. The natures of
the two young men were essentially
different. One was frank and open as
the day, while the other was tacitarn
and reserved. Both paid court to the
lady; but soon manifested A choice for
the more frenk character, and they be
came engaged. The defeated suitor
seemed to bear his disappointment re
signedly. In time the lady went home,
and the successful suitor went Abroad,
to complete his studies. While Absent
letters were received by the girl con
cerning her lover which created the
the feeling that he Was fAlse to her,
and finally ohe Came In his own hand
writing bidding her farewell, and stat
ing that he was to be married to A lady
of rank. This profed almost a death
blow to the girl, but Abe soon rallied
and sought In every Way to conceal
the traces of grief: The defeated suit
or was at hand, and again proffered
hie homage; and finally, In a tit of
pique, ahe married him. It was not
long after the wedding before the lover
retarded. He could not be made to
believe that the one he loved was false
by oatttfe. He reasoned that there was
cause for her change, and like a sensi
ble man, he oommenoed tbs task of un
ravelling the myfftCiy. After much
trouble he obtained an Interview With
the wife in the absence of her husband,
and.asan answer to his upbraiding*,ebe
banded him his letter of reUnnclation.
She was happier than she had been in
many days when she learned that the
letter was a forgery, Ahd that the lover
had always been true to her. She at
once renounced her husband, and soon
opportunity offered and she procured
a divorce and was united to her first
and only love. The husband and wife
settled down In Troy, and there hs en
joyed a long and successful career, and
whfco be died, full of ycarffand honor
ed, b* was sunounded by bis wife and
family. The false friend, who by his
wicked maeblnatiohs had Wrought so
much sorrow, removed to Lanslnburg,
New York, Where be become a physi
cian of not*. He afterward remarried,
aad hie posterity tt>-day ofccupy honor
ed positions in that Bute. In two fam
ily Bible* in that city the tnarriagea
are recorded among the family ar-
thieves.

doWh by the wayside, and using bis
burden fot a pillow fell Into that
dreamlesa sleep that kisses down hi*
eyelids still. While yet In love with
life and raptured with the world be
passed to silence and paibetlh dust.
Yet, after all, it may be best, just In
the happiest, sunniest hour of all the
voyage; while Sager wihtt* are kissing
every sail, to dash against the Unseen
rock ahd In An Instant hear the billows
foat aboV* a tanked ship, for wheth

shore, a wreck
at last the end of each and AIL Aad
every life, no metier of Its every hour
is rlhh with love and every moment
jeweled with a Joy, will, at Its dose,
become a tragedy as sad add deep and
dark a* Can be woven from the warp
ahd woof of mystery and death. This
brave and tender man tn every storm
of life was oak Abd rock, but In the
sunsblne he was vine abd flower. He
was the friend of all heroin soul*. He
climbed the heights, and left hli Super
stitions far below, while on hla fore
head fell the goldeh dawnlbg of the
grander day. He loved tbe beautiful
and was with color, form an& ffiuaic
touched to tears. He elded with the
weak, and With a willing band gave
alms. With loyal heart And with the
purest hands, he faithfully discharged
all public trusts. He was a worship
per of liberty ; a friend of the op
pressed. A thousand times I have
heard him quote the words: ' For jus
tice, all place a temple; and all sea
sons, summer,' He belteVed that bap-
plneee was the only good, teasob the
obiy torch, Justice the only worship,
humanity the only religion; and love
the only priest: He added to the earn
of human Joy, and were every one for
whom he did some loving service to
bring a blossom to bis grave, be would
sleep to-night beneath a wilderness of
flowers, lilfe is s narrow Vale between
th* cold and barren peaks of two eter
nities. We strive in vain to look be
yond the heights. We cry aloud and
the only answer is tbs echo of our
walling cry. From the Voiceless lips
of the uoreplying dead, there comes no
wore j but In the night bf death hope
see* a star, aad listening loVb Can hear
the rustle of a wing. He who sleeps
here; When dying; mistaking the ap
proach of death for the retuth of
healtb, whispered with his latsst
breath: * I am better noW.' Let us
believe la spite of doubts and dogma*;
of fears ahd tears, that these dear
words are true of all the Countless
dead. And now to you, who have been
chosen from among the thany men he
loved; to do the last sad office for the
dead, we give bis sacred dust Speech
cahnot contain our love. There was;
there is no gentler; stronger, manlier
man."

The Denver (Ool.) News of a feOenf
date says: There was a singular meet
ing yesterday in Denver that embodies’
all the elements of a first-class sensa
tion. During the war two brothsi*
from Cleveland, Ohio, snlttrted fo one'
of the many regiments organized id
the Buckeye State. Although attached
at first to the same regiment, the bro
thel* foon became separated, and af
ter the battle of 8hlk>h, or Pittsburg
Landing; never met again. The names
of the pgrtiei Were Stephen and Harry
Elwood. and the town of fewood. Id
Kansas, immediately opposite St. Jo
seph, Mo., was named la honor of their
father, Stephen H. IXwood. The does
Of the Wat rmmd the elder brother,
Stephen, at Port Leavenworth, Kan
sas, and there he was mustered out of
th* service. The last he had heard of
his brother HaTry Was that ha bad
been severely wounded before Pitts
burg and taken prisoner. In fact he
waspne of that unfortunate command
which made the aAsault Upon the works
before Flitabarg, after the explosion
of the great thins, And few of Which
escaped death; wounds or captor*;
For some tWo or tfeMe years after the
war, Stephen El Wood made eonetaot
efforts to asoertaln positively COhoeril
ing the fate of his brother. Although
morally convinced of his death, he
could not eurrender all hop# Without
more abadlute evidence. All In vain,
however; Ahd b* Wes fully convinced
that further search Waa useless, and
that his brother Was certainly dead.
Four years ago Stephen Elwood; Who
was then living on a farm in Dohlpbsh
county, Kansas, made a trip to the Bah
J uan mine*. He Was so Well pleased
with the country that he brought Out
hts family ahd settled in that section.
He has UVed In Southern Colorado
evor since; and been extensively en
gaged In stock raising and ooffitneroiai
pursuits. He has a large ranch* near
Trinidad; and an Interest In a bus! net a
boose at El More. In common with
many thousands of Otbets, Mr. Elwood
caught the Leadvtlie fever last fsll. A
visit to thess mines only increased bit
interest; and; leaving Ms family at bis
ranche, he planted bis stake* ih and
arotlnd LeadVitl*; Last Saturday he
flam* to Denver for th* purgpe* at *4
he happened to go to the post-office.
While waiting his turn at the Window
of the general delivery, his attention
was attracted to a gentleman who
stood near by. Th* ffiot* be looked
the more amazed be became; and fin
ally, after a strong effort; he ap
proached the atraager, sod with some
appropriate apology, requested to be
favoted with his aame; The stranger
stared and also became confused. An •
other ffiomeht; ahd to the surprise of
the Urge crowd present, the two men
fell Into each other's arms, aad ap
peared overcome with emotion; As a
matter of course, the reader will un
derstand that, Ih the stranger; Bteph*
en Elwood bad met hi* brother Hatry;
whom ke had hot seen ot directly
heard ffotn sihee 1803. It appears
that Harry Elwood waa wounded and
captured, as repotted. He was taken
to Chatieetou; S. a, and there became
dangerously ill. He remained la the
hospital till some time after the war;
unable to help himself U any way. It
was more than a year before he could
walk, or do any kind of Work. Ha
tried Ih many Ways to communlcats
with his btothet, but, ftota some cane*
or other, oeVet obtained any response)
