From the Chicago Times-Herald. Colonel John Arkins, for many years the editor and manager of the Rocky Mountain News, the pioneer paper of the far west, was a noted wit. He wis the man who created a sensation at the beginning of Cleveland's first term by referring to the president as "all stomach and neck." One of his best appreciated quips was aimed at Congressman George G. Symes during the latter's first term in congress. Symes was a stiff, dignified man. with a voice like a fog horn. It always seemed to come from the depths of his stomach as the words sonorously rolled from his lips. While there was much speculation as to the probable make-up of the various house committees. Colonel Arkins printed the following "special dispatch" promin ently on the front-page of his paper: Washington, Dec. .Speaker Carlisle so far ha decided upon only one chair manship. This goes to Colorado, and the selection meets with general approval here. The Hon. George a. Symes has' been named as chairman of the commit tee on acoustics. Symes was first nominated for con gress in 1884. The retiring congress man was Bedford, "the Red-Headed Rooster." Symes, like Bedford, had j r"d h-ir.

While he was preparing for his coup d'etat, as It were, J. L. Hodges, the man who was accused of having stolen the roof off the Arkansas penitentiary and sold It for old iron, himself a delegate, arose and Interrupted: - "Mr. Chairman, I rise for-Information." "State your question." The urbane Hodges looked smilingly at Belford's red top-knot, rested his eyes for a moment on Symes fiery caput then, with a grin, gazed at the flaming mane of the man from Lake, and slowly drawled his question: "is this a convention or a holo caust ?" . ENGLAND'S GOOD ROADS. How They Are Kept in OrderA Practical Comnteutary on the Bad Roads or America. Ford's Letter in New York Tribune. There are few treeless meadows and pastures among the hills of Somerset; and the care that is taken to group the trees aright suggests the forethought of the landscape artist. There are also the finest roads to be found anywhere In the world, and there Is nothing to disfigure them. There are no ditches at the side; there are no ruts and pools In the centre; there Is no wayside litter, and the fences are either stone wall covered with vines, or neatly trimmed hedge rows. The commonest English road Is evenly bordered with turf, and Is kept in such perfect order that It might be claimed by the wealthiest land baron as an ornamental drive on his ancestral estate. General Roy Stone, In the course of an excellent address delivered before a body of American educators at Buffalo, asserted that high-class technical knowledge, was not required for mas tery of the art of road construction and repair, and expressed the belief that the great need of our country roads In the United States is daily care. He esti mated that 40,000.00O was expended every year in repairs without material Improvement of the roads. I have no means of verifying this estimate, nor is confirmation needed, since he is a recognized authority on the subject; but I have no hesitation in declaring that the secret of the perfect condition in which English roads are found at all ainanna nf lha t-AQP la II fl TPTTl i 1 1 1 n ft CBTe in keeping them in order. Some of the j roaus leading- out 01 isuwi -inally made by the Romans, and all the other highways, whether old. or new, are of scientific construction with deep foundations and ample provision for drainage; but neither antiquity nor the roadmaker's art would protect them if they did not receive constant supervis ion and dully care. WELL CARED FOR. One of the most Important functions of local government in England Is sys tematic oversight of the roads. Every county council has a standing eommit teee on roads, which takes charge of the highways and keeps them in repair at the expense of the rates. The com mittee Is a large one. and Is subdivided Into a series of small committees, each with Its own district. There Is an in spector for every division of the coun tv, and he employs a force of road menders and holds them responsible for the sections of road assigned to them. The roadmender lives In a cot tage on the line of the highway which he Is required to keep In order, and he Is constantly at work. He is at once a scavenger and a roadmender. He goes over the road every day and re moves in a barrow everything that is unsightly. After a heavy rain his trained eye detects signs of wear at points where the water does not drain off rapidly, and he mends the break and restores the level by dumping a load of Hint where It Is needed. Supplies of material for roadmendlng are In re serve every half mile, where flint hus been carted, broken up and left for his Ut.. ne vtuic.ma uis section of road all the year round, and keeps It peat, tidy, free from litter and In perfect re pair; and he receives a sharp warning from the inspector if he neglects his work. This is the English system, and it may be recommended to American re formers for efficiency and economy. I observe that Mr. Stone advises the or-gani-Mion of road leagues among older schoolboys, and their employment as road reDairera with tools and carts sup plied by the local authorities. It is njt ! work for schoolboys, but for a trained i force of ruudmen, iiii'ed for the purpose, constantly employed and required to clean the highways as well as to fill up the ruts and to restore the broken grades. School teachers could un doubtedly do much to Interest the ris ing generation In this greatly needed reform; but amateur roadmenders, working at random when they are in the mood for it, could accomplish little. What Is required is a reform of local administration by which systematic measures will be taken to secure good roads in America. If so great a sum as $40,000,(100 be expended annually on road repairs, and yet the toads be made no better, It may not be because highway commissioners draw their salaries and i are content with setting gangs of labor- j ers at work a few days before election H but It is at least the result of lack of ; organization and painstaking care. UP THE LANSDOWN ROAD." A few days ago I took a long stroll up the Lansdown Road to see Ueckford's ; Tower, from the lantern of which one of the broadest prospects In Somerset and Wiltshire may be had on a clear ' day; and In returning to Bath I made j a detour to an ancient village, secluded ' riom observation in a heavily wooded hillside and apparently unaware of the existence of the outer world. It was the hamlet of Charlcombe, with a tiny Norman church under a wide-spreading yew tree, which has been reputed to be the mother church of Bath Abbey, with Its fantastic Jacob's Ladder. It was a deserted village without a sign of life, one could walk from one end of it to the other without hearing a voice or seeeing a huinun face. A few miles be yond It was Lontrridge, another village slumbering peacefully In similar isola tion en the eastern slope of Lansdown. These hamlets were approached by a lonely road overhung with treees and bordered with stone walls and high hedges. There seetned to be no farm ing occupations, and there was not a vehicle of any kind moving, nor hardly a stroller by the wayside. Yet the road leading to these somnolent villages was in as perfect condition as though the Queen of the realm were expected to make a triumphal progress over it on the morrow. There had been heavy rains In the week, but there were no pools of standing water In the road and no slimy trenches at the sides. There was no mud to tarnish a carriage wheel, if one were to be driven over It. There were no stones in the road to trip up wheelmen; there were no fallen trees or decaying stumps by the wayside; there were no signs of neglect at any turn. A faithful roadman living close at hand was hired by the county to keep the road In order, and he did his work so well that it was a source of comfort and delight to every one pass ing over it. , Good roads In England are not the result of teaching In the publlr schools or of sentimental agitation. They are a practical detail of common-sense, ef ficient local administration. Nobody ever feels called upon here to preach the gospel of good roads. The English peo ple have them because they pay for them tn local taxation and Insist upon having them kept In order. The poor est rustic loves the country road which leads to his humble cottage. It Is his CASTORIA For Infant! and Children. fttftS. ? Dalit "y i i " ' fin pleasure-ground his rightful share in the goodly heritage of well-governed country. HAD BLACK GOVERNOR. A Cariona Piece ef Oasecticat His tory Kaewa te Few People. From the New York Tribune. A book little known even to collect ors of Americana te a volume entitled "Hartford In the Olden Time: Its First Thirty Years," by Scaeva, which was edited by W. M. B. Hartley and pub lished at Hartford In 1853. There is a chapter In this book entitled "The Black Governors of Connecticut,' the very title of which will excite the sur prise of most intelligent people, even In Connecticut, who have never heard of any black governors in the Nutmeg state except the governors of an op posite political faith, who were, of course, politically black. The title, however, is explained and Justified by a little explanation. Before the revo lution and down to a period as late as 1820, It was the custom for the negroes living In the state to hold an election on the Saturday succeeding the regu lar election day, choosing one of their number as governor. Sometimes, how ever, no election was held, the retiring governor assigning his office to another. The man chosen In either case was usally "of Imposing presence, strength, firmness and volubility, quick to decide, ready to command and quick to flog." He appointed a staff of military and Judicial officers who executetd his or ders In all matters pertaining to colored people, especially questions pertaining to morals, manners and ceremonies. The fact that he had no legal status In the province or state did not at all trouble him or his subjects, and he ap pears to have exercised a very real power, nearly always on the side of morality and Justice. The Justices of the peace appointed by these black gov ernors were, as a rule, extremely severe In punishing people of their own color who transgressed the law. So gener ally was this recognised by the whites tn colonial times that when a slave committed some offense It was the cus tom to turn him over to the black Jus tice for punishment. Such a culprit al ways fared much worse than If he had been tried by the regular courts. Among the more notable colored men who held the office of governor were Quaw. a negro belonging to Colonel George Wyllys; Peleg Nott. who be longed to Colonel Jeremiah Wadsworth; Boston, belonging to Mr. Nichols; John Anderson and Cuff, who held the office for ten years. After the abolition of slavery in Connecticut the custom be. gan to pass Into disuse, and at the pres ent time even many Intelligent negroes of the state know nothing of it. RESILIENCE. What is it forms the keenest pang In sorrow T 'Tls that we know the peace for which we pray Too soon arrives, today, tonight, tomor row. The woe most bitter will have passed away. Ah, sham! that even while we prate of losing Not Joy alone, but life and reason dear. And spurn all comfort, and are still re fusing Surcease of anguish, suddenly 'tis hem! Too well the swimmers breast the whelm ing surges. Too callous are we, and too cruel strong. And mingled with the swell of funer.il dirges We mark the ripple of a marriage song. , Julia Ditto Toung.
