The Wilson Cherubs.
But among all the children of the
stage the two most supremely happy,
without exception, are John Coleman
and Jesse Henderson, the inimitable
comical little darkies who made their
"dramatic" debut with Mr. Francis
Wilson's company in "The Merry
Monarch,'' and have since beeu a
familiar feature in all his productions.
To them stage life is a long da5'-dream
of happiness on which the sun of their
enthusiasm never sets. Three years ago
these two droll urchins were ragged
little gamins, earning a precarious living by singing and dancing on the
streets of Baltimore. Hunger had so
developed their artistic abilities that
Mr. Wilson, chancing upon them one
rainy day when unusual brilliant feats
were necessary to coax the pennies from
the moist and disgruuted passers-by,
resolved upon the spot to raise these
youthful Thespians to the dignity of
the cpinic opera .stage. The young
comedians generosity was rewarded by
the most fervent and adoring gratitude
To John and Jesse, Francis Wilson
reiguedsupreme asthe greatluminous
star of the stage world, and thev felt
it their solemn, but delightful, duty
to twinkle there brightest as his attendant satellites. December Deforest.

S A ROAD OF SOLID SALT.
Waterman will make you some nice
photos for X. Come in Wednesday
sure for your setting.
Eight Miles of Laborious Engineering
,':; . y Across tlie Death Valley.
...,The grading a road of solid salt was
until-recently an -unexpected taskin en-
gineering and is thus described by one
•fits operators: In what is known as
"Death valley we found a stretch of solid
■alt about eight mile3 across. In a sense
It was level, There were no hills or valleys.- -In-another sense there was scarcely a level square inch on the whole beds,
for the salt crust had, probably through
the influence of heat from ahove and
of moisture from below, been torn and
twisted and thrown up in the most
jagged peaks, pyramids and crisscrossed
ridges imaginable.
They were not high—none more than
four feet—but there was not a level space
even-for a man's foot between them.
Every step made was on a ragged point
or edge of some kind. The nearest approach to anything like that I have ever
Been was on the ice on Lake Erie, where
two fields had heen jammed together by
the wind and held so by the frost. The
ragged ice masses were somewhat like
.these salt masses. They were larger, bnt
they Were not so sharp or in any way so
difficult to cross.
Judging that the crust wonld' sustain
the weight of the wagons the workmen
swung the sledge hammers day after
dayuntil they had beaten down these
pinnacles into a smooth way six feet
wide. It was perhaps the most laborkms
engineering work ever done in the country, for the climate and location, far
from civilized habitations, combined to
retard the efforts of the workmen. The
roadway when completed led oyer what
may be properly called a naturally
formed bridge of salt eight miles long—
the only bridge of the kind in the world.
As one enters the.easterly end of this
road two unmarked graves are seen in
the salt crust lfear the track. -They are
the graves of unknown men who died
there from- the. heat, and after the
fashion of.the .country were buried
,where'.-they fell.-. They • were "covered
with pieces of salt broken from the pinnacles near by.' The crust was too hard
to warrant digging" into it. One must
travel a long time to find two more
graves like these, if indeed two more
can be found in the world.—Age of
Steel.         __^
Xhe Struggle Foi* Good Eoads.
From about 1795, when the first piece
of respectable country road, the Lancaster turnpike, was made a success, and
when the roads elsewhere were ox cart
tracks on which stage coaches could
make an average of hardly three miles
an hour, until 1810, when the first steamboats were paddling toward success and
the first tramways were leading to a
new and absorbing direction of effort,
the road question was a stirring and a
national one.
Then it was a question of roads: now
it is: a question of- better roads. Then
the struggle for public funds and favor
came to issue between roads and canals;,
now it is between roads and building's
and parks. Then the national government built one road, helped one or two
others,, granted a few charters, and then
left the matter to the states in a rush of
political influences to favor manufactur-
ers-by protective tariffs. As usual the
merchants and capitalists of the cities
got the statutes, and the farthers and
producers got discussions' and contentions and continued to travel in their
ruts.
At present there is no available systematized knowledge of the roads of our
country. How many are there?' What
is their mileage? How are they constructed? By whom or by what power—
individual, corporate, town," city, county, state or-nation—are they made and
controlled? What do they cost for making and maintenance? Which are good
and which Eire best? , What are the systems by, which, they are connected and
projected to facilitate traffic and promote the development of our land and
its resources? .For these inquiries the
answers must wait. We must first feel
'the need and the spirit of inquiry in this
direction; .then obtain the facts, then
collate and systematize them, as in other
.scientific directions.—Outlook.
Every man having a beard should
keep it an even and natural color,
and if it is not so already, use Buckingham's dyes and appear tidy.
It is strange that some people will
suffer for years from rheumatism
rather than try such a remedy as
Ayer's Sarsaparilla; and that, too, iu
spite of the assurance that it has cured
so many others who were similarly
afflicted.   Give it a trial.

A flatter of Public Concern.
There is hardly any subject of public
concern in which I take so deep an interest as the matter of improving our
roads. Their condition is a disgrace to
bur eotintry and not.only a disgrace, but
an injury which has attained to the proportions of a calamity.
The present condition of our roads undoubtedly costs the country, and the
farmers of it especially, every year vastly
more that the interest on the largest sum
necessary to put them in perfect order.
It seems strange that this country, so far
in advance of others in most things,
should, as a simple matter of fact, he behind the whole civilized world in this
sort of internal communications.
There is no doubt in my mind that the
value of agricultural property, throughout the state of New York especially,
would beyastly increased. but for this
condition of the roads, which really
makes life, a burden to those attempting
to reside upon our farms. This is one
cause jvhy so many energetic, farmers
get out of the farming-districts and into
the villages and cities. When one sees
what our sister republics of France and
Switzerland are doing in regard to roads,
the condition of our own republic in
this respect is all the more amazing.—
