Already the prepara tions are being made; they will in crease their majority in Congress enough to be able -to 'pass any law they want, then with a hypocritical Exec utive and partisan judiciary the rest is comparatively easy.

Mrs. Elizabeth Stanton, Miss Belva Lockwood, and other members of the woman's right brigade, have assembled annually at the capital en deavoring to secure legislation in be half of their cause, Heretofore they have receivedittle or no notice from the busy Senators and Representatives in Congress. Several times they have been allowed a special committee to consider the great question of women suffrage, before which they could np pear and present their claims.

It spans the creek at a height of about 200 teet, and the walls of the canon rise jibove it on either side 700 or 800 feet, and on one side form a perpen dicular precipice.

Mixing makes a well balanced manure. Again, chemi cal manures so much used at present, are very concentrated and need dilut ing. Others, like muck and mold, and excessively large quantities must be applied tousupply the food required by a crop, and the labor of handling then becomes excessive. The two when mixed thus supplement each other and bring about a loippy menu. So far it is plain sailing. But if mixing unlike things is tiie object of composting, it may be asked win' not mix -them and put diivetiy in Ihe T I.i' M.I groui a without tne intervi nt:on ol H:e compost heap. We answer this may be done, and in the majority of eas perhaps it is the better practice, i he garden and the trucker puts compost in the heaps or pens because he wants to have his manure thoroughly rotted so it will yield up its plant food im mediately. He wants every vegetable and cannot afford to have his plants wait on raw manure till they rot. But not so with corn and cotton. turn cfoea best, in our climate when manure acts upon it most towards the later stages of its growth, and cotton covers a very long period of growth and does not draw heavily oil manure till com paratively late in the season. These crops, therefore, give time for raw ma nure put in the ground early to rot.

And who do you suppose is chair man o!' thi.- suffrage committee which holds its meetings in the basement of the capitol ? l; is o.d Z !i Vance of North Caro lina, and perhaps the thanks ue due to him for seeormg the women this cosy apar. ne-iit. Lnst week Senator Vance went down in the basement and held a meeting of the women's right Crowd. Old Grand ma Blair, of New Hampshire, was pres ent, and the room was filled with a choice selection of ladies, including Mis Belva Lock Wood, ex candidate for President of the United States, and lcauti" aim firetlaving, we in tunes 1 L- .1 repeated anii-eieciiou dedarrfe ..iind finally with a small bore vranfc and desnot in the i speawei cline to believe, as slated, that it is best to mix the usual composting ma terials aud put them at once in the ground or one may be put in drill or be broadcasted first, and another placed upon it. From flic first of February to the middle of March is a good lone to do this work. The exception to this proceed ure is in the case of sub stances difliciilt to rot, such as freely fallen leaves, straw which is fresh, and oihe; forms of coarse vegetable malter and much fresher dtii? from nonds.. These rot very slowly when put in drill, and if used iu quantity may do ! harm by cutting off supply moisture from below. Putting these in bulk and in combination with things that ferment readily they are quickly re-, duced and brought into a condition j where they yield plant food promptly. !

By the way, it is said that Miss Lockwood wears pants when on the streets of Washing ton. After Mrs. Eliza Stanton had made a long argument on the sabj ct of wo man's rights, Senator Vance said: '"Mrs. Stanton, do you not think if women vote it will well that it will take away something of the refine ment they er now possess?" This question was unforunate, Mrs. Stanton Hushed up with indignation, nulled off her gloves aud trrabbed her umbrella as if she intended to knock the chairman into the middle of next week, fhile her companions looked Senator and clutched daggers at the to pull The chairman looked half sorry moment he ased the question top is nearly, if not quite, 400 feet iu width, 1,000 leet in length across the canon, and at the thinnest part only six feet through. About the center of the arch is a hole large enough to ad mit the body of a man, and through which one can look down into the crys tal pool of water 200 feet below. The dike which forms the bridge extends in a sweeping curve un the right side of the stream and, together with the bridge proper, affords a sur face area of about a hundred acres of fertile laud, which David Gowuu has converted into a fine farm. A sonn?? issues from the right side of the canon at a height to admit of water being easily conducted to any portion of the farm, and the volume is great enough to fill a ditch four feet wide and two feet deep, andto irrigate much more land than is available for cultivation. The climate at the bridge is exceed ingly equable, being warmer ia summer and much milder in winter than tnat of the surrounding country, and to this fact is ascribed the wonderful variety of vegetable growth, numbering some two hundred and fifty species of trees, shrubs, vines and plants. Tlie vicinity abounds in numerous fossils ahd shells, and wherever moisture percolates through the calcarous rock beautiful stalactites are formed. Underneath the bridge are numerous caves, some of which have-never been explored, and which sire lined with these opaque cones resembling huge icicles. backed by au unscrupulous ma- Young & Bos- pny.

The danger is not so much in the temporary advantage they may gain, for this can be remedied, as in the fact that these actions are not simply the actions of a few men in the Congress or on the bench, but are indorsed and applauded by the entire strength of the party behind them. Because Ingalls, fudge-advocate of Kansas miljtia, in his hatred of the South is anxious to ruin that fair country he receives the hearty endorsement and plaudits of his con stituents because they uesire nothing else so much as the discomfiture of the Democratic party whenever and where ever possible.

"Yes, you are right, Mr. Stanton. The face is refined and beautiful," i replied the Chairman, tnouguiiuiiy.

An old soldier at the Capitol yester day told this story of Stonewall Jack son, says the Atlanta Constitution: It was during his, valley campaign and a battle was expected within a day or two, though Jackson's plans were so ' II 11 ll L L l I eai-eru v L'uarueu mat not even ins j 0 adjutant could guess them intelligent ly. This self-reliance was character istic of Jackson and his aversion to te.linsr his plans was well known among his officers and men. In fact it was his policy to surprise his own men no less than to surprise the enemy. General Jackson was one of a group of officers, and another of the group was r. rt i i i. . : ,.i . i....,,.. a ueorma ioionei who is nun uuug Conversation was drasrging. Jackson was thoughtful aud had little to say and the effect was dampening. t in ally, just to revive the conversation the Georgia Colonel asked abruptly: ''frenpr.d. will we have a fight to morrow?" i Everybody knew in an instant the blunder was irreparable, and nobody realized this more than the Colonel Jackson turned quickly and stared full in the speaker's face. Then he slowly surveyed the Colonel from head to foot and back again. The silence was painful About Husbands. There is one thing that a young woman who has but lecently Oue aud got herself married should be advised against: that is, any sentimental effus iveness upon conjugal happiness in the presence of women who have been wed some time, says a writer in the Atlanta Constitution. No matter how happily mated these dames may be they feel in duty bound to snub any expression of faith aud contentment on the part of a bride of a few weeks. They like to tell pleasant little stories concerning the fidelity of implicitly trusted husbands, their fondness for night keys, 'club suppers, cards, their peculiar exactious, eccentricities and so forth. 1 chanced the other day to drop in upon a circle of these matrons when a two weeks' bride called. The subject of marriage was brought up, and the bride ventured to assert that it was not always a failure. - Then there was an excessive shrug and a cynical smile from her listeners, one of whom said: "Oh, but you've only leeu married a short while. It's all very pretty now if it would only last." "Well," hopefully, "it has lasted with my mother and father some twenty odd years.'' "It's an inheritance then. Whv, I wish I'd inherited peculiarity of that kind from my parents. 4T think American women arc more to be en vie than-any wives on earth, said another. "I had a friend who said she never knew what happiness was until she married an American. Her first husband was a Spaniard, who loyed her madly, and her life was m danger from his jealousy. The second man was an Englishman, so cold and selfish that she'd rather have had him kill her than to live with him. The third was an American, neither warm nor cold, and he gave her as much money as she wanted and let her do as she pleased." rsow, that s my idea of happiness! said a pretty young matron. "What could a woman want more than a plenty of liberty aud a plenty of mon ey? "What is the jealous love of a Spaniard beside shekels and freedom.-' l qoii t ueneve hi ivniuua uuauiiuun, said a woman whose husband might have been so with some cause. "Very jealous men are apt to be selfish. They m W i i i i f value you not tor what you are, out ior what you are estimated to be by others. Such men need a constant stimulant to their affections." "What sort of a husband do you all believe in?" exclaimed the newly made matron desperately. "For my part, replied a careful ma tron with several daughters to marry, I should prefer a widower, well off and with no children, of course. He should be about forty years old, and must have been a devoted husband to his first wife. Such a man has lived over the vagaries of youth. He has sowed wild, oats, and anchored steadfastly his shin of love until it was blown away bv the wind of eternity. He has known life's greatest joys and deepest sorrows. He knows how to appreciate profoundly the love of a woman, and, having learned many lesson's in woman nature, he will neither be too exacting nor uncomprehending of her little fancies and foibles. But I'd rather have the first love of a man, even if it was exacting, and even if we did not always understand each other. I should want tojeel that I had been the first to share his heart and life." I believe a widower of forty is pre- Pope on Roads. Syracuse, N. Y. Col. Albert A Popeof Boston, to-day, by request, delivered an address on the subject of roads before the Board of Trade. Col. Pope said in substance: Good roads are unquestionabiYcheap- er to maintain and use -than poor ones. it is sat to say that a perfect road, once laid down will cost far less to keep in repair from year to year, and at the end of 30 years will Tiave re tiuired a far smaller total expenditure than a poorer road costing half as much and improperly made. A properly built highway, construct ed upon any one of the systems a -cepted as the best for their Various purposes and locations, must necessari ly be made with a solid and firm foun dation, effectually separating the sur- race trom the sou below. It should be thoroughly drained, and provided with yater-courses at the side, and a hard and compact surface, as smooth as the nature of its comjx; sition will admit of, and freefrom mud, diist and loose stones. To reach this degree of perfection, the best obtainable materials must be used. It requires good labor, ample time iu construction, and above all, the science and skill of a professional en gineer, whose busines is road making. Certain kinds of roads are accepted as -the best under certain conditions. For the country, it is essential to make use of such material .as nature furnish es for eachrlpciility, but more attention should be paid than generally is'to the first principles laid-down by sucji road builders as Macadam aud JTelford-j-so far, certainly, as they provide for thor ough drainage, and tor homo-geiieous, even surfaces of the best materials within reach, and then for systematic care and repair. Country roads need be no wider than is absolutely necessary for the accom modation of the traffic and travel that will come upon them. In many-places a road wide enough for a singlerteam is all that is necessary, yvith suitable turnouts, for it is unwise and expensive to attempt to maintain a country road- j way wider than the requirements of the community demand. The sides-can be j pressed down, making the road more agreeable to the eye ami a source ot comfort in the greater freedom from dust. or suburban roads nothing can be better than what is known as the Macadam say stem with firm and well- drained foundations, six or eight inches of good crushed stone, as near as possi ble to uniform size, from one to two inches in diameter, Very carefully pres? ed down by a steam roller and with a thin crust of fine gravel ou top. As a result of elaborate experiment?, made to ascertain the relative resist ance of friction of different pavement?, it has been established that while-200-pound force is required to draw one ton over an ordinary dirt road, 100 pounds will do the same work on Macadam, 33 on best granite blocks, and 15 on asphalt. Have the work done as it should be; remove it as far as possible from poli tics, under the eye of a special and competent engineer, whose business" is road construction.
