The use of vitrified brick lor street paving purposes seems to lie (living pretty general satislaction, jinking from tht following statements from city engineer in cities where it lias been tried. They are only few among quite number all similar in character. The city engineer of Columbus, Ohio, says that city "lia sixty miles of vitritied brick street pavements (including all kinds of manufactured block). The first brick pavement was laid in ISS.V We prefer stone for business streets, but use brick for both kinds, and have brick pave ments where some of our heaviest hauling is done. Contractors guarantee the lite of the pavement for five years. Our oldest brick pavement is in fair condition. No re pair of ny consequence have been made, iirick pavements are not noisy. In some instances they are slippery. We have no grade oyer 3 feet to 100 feet. Sixes of brick are lhx-'tS-xN; fSxtxlO (Hollow llayden block). We have both kinds ol edge. recommend a 0-inch concrete base. There has been continued improvement in the manufacture of paving brick, and there is while on the other hand many of the ad lierents of the democratic parly have been lukewarm or opposed lo n vigorous en forcement of its provisions. This from the Inter Ocean ha the right ring: ' The Secretary of Stale Is lawyer enough to understand the statute and sensible enough lo know that there is nothing so very terrible in registration, even though the penalty for nonfompllnnce should lie expulsion. A great Va'l lias been said about retaliation. That would be all right. Let Chin match our Oliver with a Uoland, requiring every American in'that country to register under precisely (he-tame penalty as that laid down by the deary law. No missionary or merchant unwilling to have hia true name and present residence matter of public record would lie entitled to any sympathy if compelled to pack up.

More than three-fourths of the revenue required is to le raised by taxing the oor man's breakfast table, as the three articles, sugar, coffee and tea are to be taxed and form the bulk of the taxable commodities. None of the other articles mentioned are what might so as to make the best paving material in regard to cost and service." The engineer of Canton, Ohio, says: "Of vitritied brick street pavements, we have 190,000 square yards in streets from 18 to I 'JO feet wide. Our first brick pavement was laid inlsjw. These pavements are on both lermei i,,,e luxuries? What is the business and residence streets; two-thirds of the ahole amount are on business streets.

From a circular is aued from the experiment station of the atate Agricultural College we quote the fol lowing useful and practical information: "There has been a change come over the mechanical properties of the soil a change not due to the climate the climate is all right, nut a change that is due to your methods of treating the soil.

You also pastured your lands when the ground was wet, and soft and your borses and cattle puddled the whole sur face. Thus the mechanical conditions of your soil has been changed since IN'.

The same is true of your prune and apple trees. This can only happen, however, where the con ditions are favorable. "The water-table is a term used toexpress the level at which the water stands in the noil. During a portion of the year the water table in this valley is almost, if not quite at the surface of the soil. In places it may be a few inches, and in others a foot below the surface. " Where there is no drainage, and when for a long period the water-table lies within a foot of the surface, tie roots and rootlets which during the dry season ex tend below the water-table, are destroyed by the next rainy season. The effect is the same as if these rootlets were cut oB at the aanie depth by shears. Thus the efforts of one season are destroyed before the next begins. Is it surprising that the tree, after a few years of stunted existence, should finally give up the unequal contest and die? "The purpose of under-drainage is to permanently lower the water-table to the depth or the tile. But don't ex pect too much from the tile the first year. The water must get into the habit, as it were, of going into the tile and thus escap ing. There must be time given for these little channels to extend laterally away from the tile. The first year they may not extend more than five or six feet on either side of the tile, and hence only that much a strip ten or twelve feet wide will be drained. The next year these channels will be lengthened and so the next, so that at the end of the seventh year your tile ought to work better and drain the ground more perfectly than the first year. You will be surprised at the amount of very fine sand that escapes from the outlet of your tile drains. This sand conies from the ex tension of the little channels which have been cut back from the tile on the water table. This all takes time. " The changed mechanical condition of this permanently drained soil soon begins . to show itself. The first year as you plow across the line of the tile drains, you can readily tell where the drains are located by the lightening of the draft on the team and the friability of the soil. This condition is really more marked in the tough clayey lands than in black loams. "The rapidity of growth of any plan t de pends upon moisture and warmth. Prop erly drained land is warmer than the nn d rained: first, because the amount of evap oration is lessened ; and second, that which is just as important, the air circulates through the soil down to tbe wafer-table and gives up to tbe soil its extra beat. During the dry season the air circulates freely through well drained lands, because oilier way, everybody desires to sell, prices fall, and until the rememhrame of the losses thus incurred is obliterated by time when the season is over. 1 hu facts ol the case seem to be that the railroads intend U secure as many passengers to the lair at as near full rates as they can and after that is done reduce the rate a oint or two and secure another lot.

On a large scale and varied forms it occurs from time to time in every kind of business, and when it occurs in all kinds and in many countries at once, it produces a world-aide depression, such as we now witness." lie concluded: " I see no ground for duping to prevent by legisla tion or otherwise the repetition of these financial depressions, or even to lengthen the intervals between them. They are, with sickness, death, crime and poverty, inevitable evils that grow out of human na ture itself. A wise old liostonian once said to me: ' The lucky man learns hy the mis takes of others, the wise man by his own, the fool by neither,' and Bince compara tively few men are lucky the greater part have to be taught by their own experience, while those who belong to the third cute gory never learn at all." DEFENSE OF DR. BR1GGS. Dr. Briggs in his defense said he had been accused of teaching that many of the Old Testament predictions had been reyrsed by history and that the great body of Mes sianic predictions had not been and would not be fulfilled. This he had repudiated. He also disclaimed that he was guilty of teaching that the process of redemption ex tended to the world to come in the case of many who died in sin, stating he had repu diated the Roman Catholic doctrine of pur gatory and also the doctrine ol future pro bation and regeneration after death, or any beginning of Christian life after death. Con tinuing on this subject, Dr. iiriggssaid: " You have heard attributed to me the dreadful doctrine of race redemption, but if you will look into my inaugural you will see all I have to say on that subject in con nection with the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The trouble w ith I bene brelhreu is they are taking too narrow a view of the doctrines. I would that I could touch such comfortable doctrine, and if the time ever comes that I can, I will gladly lay down my ministry in the Presbyterian church and go forth to teach the hope of salvation of some of those who apparently have died without regen eration in this world ; but I do not bold that belief now, I cannot." At tbe evening session Dr. Briggs de fended the action of the presbytery at great length, and then passed to the discussion of the logic of the case. This point he dis cussed for a long time, holding he must be judged by his faith and practice, and not hy individual interpretation, He held there were errort of Holy Scripture in matters among themselves hi which case the trav eling public may he henelited. Tin New York Hun is evidently alarmed at the tendency of the democratic adminis tration lince it warns the president not to " eviscerate the Chicago platform," and then becoming tsuddenly religious solemnly says: " If any man shall add unto the words of the prophecy of this book, (iod shall udd unto him tfie plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the words of the' book of this prophecy, Cod shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this hook." Tub New York World intimates to Attorney-Central Olney that it would be much more pleasing to have him do his duty in regard to trusts than to do nothing toward wiping them out when it suys, " It is quite pleasant to have the trusts die natural deaths, but it would be much better if the oflicers of the law contribute a little to their discomfiture."
