A NATIONAL T -AN.
teu Soy Stowe's 6???J?ic Schorn?-for
! Kigkway Improvement.
Gen. Boy ?tone,who during* the wsf
rornnwnifed the famous Pe nosy Irania
hrx?a^kosw^^the Buck .fail rifles,
has, notwithstanding his absorbing oe
cupa?ocs, give^ much thought to the
su?$octorthe rovement of country
yoada. Being recently consulted in*?ef
erefice to the preparation of a measure
to be introduced in a state legislature, he
hes formr lated a much broader scheme,
the scope of which is national. The other
evening I met him at the Union League
club, and took advantage of the oppor?
tunity to get bis views and suggestions .
upon this important subject more in de?
tail. Ho said, rather in explanation of
the largeness of Iris scheme: "No good
roads hare ever been built by local effort,
except in the richest communities, ia
England, so long as the local system pre?
vailed, the roads were so bad that Ma?
caulay was moved to say, 'The fruits of
the earth were sometimes suffered to rot ;
in one place, while a few miles distant
tho supply fell far short of the demand.'
And be said further: 'One chief cause of
the badness of the roads was the defect?
ive state of the law. Every parish was
bound to repair the roads which passed
through iV and thus a sparse and im?
poverished rural population was com?
pelled to maintain highways between
rich ?nd populous towns.**
""In this respect," continued Gen.
Stone,v"we are Just where England was
200 yearaFago. England met the diffi?
culty byithe establishment of turnpikes
with. toDs, and 30,000 miles of these
roads ha$:been built in Macaulay's day.
Tlie turnpike system does not seem,
however, to meet the approval of our
people, and something -else must be de?
vised. Such being the case. I have sug?
gested a national plan, which, though
new in the form I suggest it, is not real?
ly a new question in our national poli?
tics. It was a most vexed question in
the days of our grandfathers, and its
constitutionality was defended upon the
ground that congress Bad' a right to pro?
vide for the common detense and also to
establish post roads. In France, where
arofountT perhaps the best roads in the
. world, the minister of public works has
charge of all roads. These roads are
"national or vicinal. Of the first there
are 23,000 miles, and these are entirely
maintained from the national treasury.
The vicinal or cross roads are maintain-.
ed chiefly by the"VOTous?<?mmunes.'T"
-.What do you think of Governor Hill's
suggestions to the New York legisla?
ture?* I asked.
"They are admirable, and so far as-New.
York state is concerned thevrif embod
ied in laws, might answer the purpose
very well. But for New York, in a
measure, an dr for most other states to a
greater extent his plan would be a much
more costly one to tho taxpayers- than*
my broader method. The national gov?
ernment has had for some time and is
likely to have under our laws a large
surplus. This surplus could be lent to?
tho states at a very much lower rate of
interest than any of these states could
borrowmoney from the public. My
plan as at first outlined was this:
~L National financing, to secure tac lowest
rate of interest, uniform in all thc states, and
longest term of repayment.
"2. State control of disbcrsement nuder some
form of national supervision; a permanent or?
ganization of trained experts,, etc.
**3. Local option for each local-application of
the scheme.
**4. Equitable distribution of tho interest
charge between thc nation, state and district,
and a local adjustment ia tho latter according
to benefits directly conferred.
"This plan amplified," said Gen Stone,
-"would be to this effect:
*1. Declare all mail routes post roads.
Establish aburcauof post roads in the de?
partment of the i uteri or.
**3. Whenever any state- shall have adopted
the necessary legislation, and provided the
machinery for availing itself of national aid,
let it apply to tho bureau of post roads for a
joint survey of any post road within its limits
.vrhich lt dcsircf? improved, and a plan for the
improvement of tho same, thc state providing
for any relocation of tho road that may be ad?
vantageous.
Thc state to execute such under super?
vision of thc United States bureau.
**?. Tho United peates- to pay tho cost 9? im?
provement.
Tho state to pay 2 per cent, per annum on
such cwt and two-thirds of tho amount ata
finally.
The United States bureau to prepare plans
ftnmwttJ school of roads and bridges.
**?. Loci'I labor, if available, to be given the
preference in pil such improvements.
*"SL The United States to have thc option of
making ail payments for sac h improvements
ia silver coia.
"Qr if this plan be looked upon at pres?
ent as impracticable or too great au in?
novation.** said, he, "let there bc a na?
tional commission appointed to look into
the subject and report its conclusions
from time to time.*'
"What are pott roads?" I asked.
-"All public roads are 'post rouies/ and
all roads leading to county towns are
.post roads.' AU 'post routes' (by wagon
Toad) could 1x5 made 'post roads,' and
thus any road i:i the country could be
made a national road. If, however, only
IS? actual mail routes, by wagon, were
declared post roads there wc-?d be 200,
000 miles subject to improve: uent under
the provision of the constitution to
establish post roads.4**
"What amount could be profitably ex?
pended ia this manner?**
"There is hardly any limit to this.
But a mile of ?oed macadam can be
built for $7,500. If we should have 100,
000 ntil-s of such roads thc cost would
"x SS5t- -OiMJOO. If this should be dec :
years it would only cost ?>0,
x^.jv. er year.*'
' "Ant how would you raise this mon
eyT
"If the surplus ia the treasury were
not adequate why could not the $300,
000,000 of silver be earning interest in
some such way. But this U a question
for the financiers, not for the engineers.
1 am convinced, however, if the silver
plan were feasible tho road building
would absorb large quantities of silver
coin and retain it, and the money would
be applied as financial relief where it is
most needed-that is, among the farmers.
It sonld go right to tho spot of want
and dissatisfaction and work its way
np. Now, r?ny and all relief goes to the
money centers, and must werie its wan?
down with great difficulty and cost to
those who need it meet.**
Criticising a Masterpiece.
A strange criticism of Rembrandt's fa?
mous portrait of "The Gilder" was over?
heard by two young artists at the Metro?
politan museum recently.
The young men were examining the
portrait for perhaps the hundredth time.
As on the previous ninety-nine occasions
they had grown enthusiastic over the
wonderful art displayed in its execution.
As is well known, the picture is that
of Jan Denier, a Dutch artist, who is
habited in the costume of his country
and age. One of the most marvelous
pieces of work of the entire portrait is
the reproduction of a huge starched linen
ruff that the man wears about his neck.
The ruff almost stands out from thecan
vaa?soskflruily was it reproduced by the
marvelous hand of the master.
The two young men were almost ready
to ?ill. down before the portrait to wor?
ship ft when* they heard the sharp, nasal
tones of a countryman speaking behind j
them. The words they heard were, "Oh,
Maria, come here and see this man with i
his lw?d sticking through a cheese."
The two men instinctively moved [
away. "What a profanation P said one
to the other.
"Yes, indeed," was the reply. "I won?
der if it is possible for these people ever
to appreciate art ? believe there are at
least five hundred artists who would be
willing to lay down their lives if they
could but produce that ruff, to say noth?
ing of the portrait itself."-New York
Herald.
Where Woman Ideada?
Which living novelist has produced
the greatest number of books? A lady f
in the person of Mrs. Oliphant, claims
thfo honor. This popular writer has, up
to the present date, produced seventy
three novels and six biographies, besides
contributing largely to periodical litera?
ture. Miss Braddon has given us fifty
five novels; Miss Yonge, fifty-three;
Onida, or Louise de la Harnee, thirty
three; Mr. William Black, twenty-eight;
Mr. Besant, twenty-six and Mr. Hag?
gard, fourteen. An American author,
. who died not long ago, wrote between
two and three hundred sensation novels.
Very few of these attained any great cel?
ebrity, but his copyrights brought him
over ?8,{XX) a year for several of the last
years of his life.
The most prolific novelist the world
has ever seen was Lope de Vega (1563
1G35). It is calculated that 21,300,000 of
his lines were actually printed, and no
less than 1,800 plays of his composition
were acted upon the stage. Montalvan
records the fact of his having written fif?
teen acts in fifteen days, making five
plays in a fortnight. If not remembered
for quality of work, Vega holds a high
place in literary annals for quantity.

Gen. Field, who has been given charge
of the codification of the Confederate
archives, is*- an old Confederate soldier.
He is now about sixty years of age, and
is tall, erect and broad shouldered. For
a number of years he was in the service
of the Khedive of Egypt.
It does not seem to be generally known?
that spiders are provided with a poison
of a very active nature, the effects of
which are similar to those produced by
snake poisons.

Devoted to and absorbed in business,
Mr. C. H. Pratt,-the late Emma Abbott's
manager, has never sought in ordinary
recreations and avocations that refresh?
ment, repose, inspiration and encourage?
ment invariably found so delightful and
so beneficial by most men. The curious
character of the man may be judged by
the circumstance that he makes his boast
that he has never read a book!-Chicago
