MB. DAVIS THE WINNER.
And Will Represent Wabash Oolleee at Indianapolis, The Wabash annual oratorical contest ooonrred last evening at the college chapel. Although the pnblic had been nfortned that it was not expected, quite a number of truth-hungry citizens assembled any how, and in the additional presence of students and professors was enacted the contest. ~It was a brief oonteai for there were but two contestants. The dirth of candidates for oratorical honors this year can be partly accounted for by the unexpectedly early date set for the contest, and by the fact that the average Wabash student has cot yet attained a gait rapid enough to admit of much special work under the new regime.
J. A. Blair was the first speaker and his subject was "Lincoln." His appearance was graceful and his voice musical and strong. The thought of Mr. Blair's oration was clear and the oration itself was marked by its splendid choice of language. While there was much disturbance in the hall, within Mr. Blair held the strict attention of his audience throughout.
E. G. Davis waa the other contestant and had for a subject the more modern but much more threadbare topic—"The Social Problems of the Closing Century It was a review of the Homestead and other lockouts, and a prayer for the averting of a calamitous future. Sir. Davis also made a good appearance and spoke in an earnest manner. His delivery wae good and his composition clear and well built. His voice,however, is lacking in reach and tone.
The judges, P. S. Kennedy, P. M. Dice and Dr. Tucker decided that Mr. Davis should rank first and Mr. Blair second. The decision manifestly proved that as a body the judges disapproved the eulogistic as a style of oratory. Mr. Davis Bhould receive the support of every student in the coming State contest. By practice his voice can be materially strengthened and he ought to make a very creditable showing.
It Doesn't Affect Us.
The bill of Senator McHugh, of Tippecanoe county, extending the terms of municipal officials to four years, and retaining in oflioe the present incumbents until November, 1864, was passed by the House yesterday, having already passed the Senate. The vote stood 53 to 36 in favor of the bill. The
biggeBt
lobby of the session was present and the bill wae put through under great stress. There seems to be a general impression that the bill will affect Crawfordsville. It does not, however, as it is operative only in cities of more than 10,000.
Death of Dr. Brings,
H. H. Bistine is in receipt of a telegram from Los Angeles, Cal-, announcing the death of Dr. Benjamin P. Briggs which occurred there Wednesday evening. Dr. Briggs resided in this city until abont ten years ago when he went to California on account of his health. He was a native of Ohio and came to Crawfordsville in 1871. Dr. Briggs leaves a large circle of friends here who will be pained to learn of his death. Mrs. Briggs will return to Indiana shortly and make her future home in Crawfordsville.
Pettit In Bad Shape.
Sheriff J. P. Bible returned this afternoon from Michigan City where he accompanied Bullfoot Kernoodle. who began a three years' term. Kernoodle broke down and wept bitterly when put in stripee.
Sheriff Bible saw W. Fred Pettit while in the prison and reports him to be in miserable health. He is not at work bat has been laid off for four or five weeks. Tie is thin and weak and seems depressed and discouraged.
Oard Party.
Last evening Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sloan entertained about thirty friends in a most pleasant and hospitable manner at a progressive card party. The affair was a very pleasant one and the prizes were won by C. M. Travis and Mrs. Harry Law. W. T. Brush and Mrs. Lyde Ramsey captured the boobies. Elegant refreshments were served during the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Sloan entertain again to-night.

HIGHWAYS Cr BELGIUM.
Enormous Lornta Drawn 011 Them—JIo\» Thoy Are
ai.ido
and Maintained.
Americans who find themselves in Europe are struck with astonishment at tho enormous loads drawn by horses and dogs there, fays Hon. George C. Tanner, consul to Brussels. One glauco of the eye from tho bulk just mentioned to the roads and ha-lf. t-lie wonder wou'i bo accounted for, because the roads have almost everything to do with it. We ere too apt to ignore that which we trample under foot. Tiieancient9 knew and appreciated more the importance of good public roads than wo do today, though at the present time in Europe this is a subject of first importance.
Belgium is divided into nine provinces, and each province is the sent of a well organized etate government., presided over by a governor. Each of the nina provinces, at each sent of government, has a bureau for roads and bridges, whose chief gives his undivided" attention to these things.
The roads are mngt carefully engineered in the first place, huavy grades, even in inortntainc-w loealitic-p. being carefully avoided. The roads are built in an oval form, and in most cases are paved with stones in others gravel forms the roadbed, and still in others gravel covers the stone, which soon, becoming hard and smooth, makes the best roadbed of all others, because the •jolts and co:' te of a payed road, which are both tiresome and disagreeable, are avoided, and then the wear and tear are not
BO
great on tho running gear, and
this kind of road is decidedly more agreeable to pedestrians and possesses, in addition to other advantages enumerated, the advantage that if the gravel washes away the stones remain and a good road is always assured.
The stones composing the roads are of a blunt, wedgo shape, four or five inches square, and are quickly laid and'quickly taken up if neccssary. These stones are uniform and regular in size, and when placed dirt is put over the new pavement, and then a large roller, drawn by four horses, is passed and repassed over it until tho stones are well settled in their places and the crevices filled with earth. In constructing roads there regard is always paid to locality and liability to wash. Where there is no danger of washes stones are dispensed with altogether, and an oval shaped gravel road is substituted at loss cost, but in all cases tho sides of the road receiving the drainage, and where it is apt to show first symptoms of yielding to bad weather, are carefully paved so that washes and gullies cannot coimamie in that quarter.
The public roads of Belgium enter into successful competition with the railroads, so much so that a man who has his team does not by any means consider himself forced to send his products by rail. It is one of the commonest sights in Liege to see wagons laden with merchandise from Brussels, which is sixty, or from' Antwerp, which is seventy-two, miles from this place this fact does uot possess anything astonishing umil the enormous loads pulled that distance by one horse is considered, and there is nothing that so astonishes the American ns this. Sometimes the wagon itself looks like a sufficient charge for two horses, whilo wagon, load and all aro drawn by one with the greatest ease. These horses are of a larger and stronger build than our horses, and from their size and strength are called in England "English draft.-," Place tho same load on almost any of our roads in tho United States, and at least two more, if not three more, English drafts would he required to pull it the samn distance. Dog carts come to llifa market laden with beef and other products of the farm, a distance of twelve and fifteen miles, drawn by one dog. Two grown persons return in the wagon.

FASt-VONS FOR WOMEN.
Beurrenois, or butternut brown of a decidedly reddish shade, appears amoug some of the rich fabrics of the season.
Throat let?, and neck scarfs of various kinds of fur, showing head, eyes, tail and paws of the animal, are In high vogue.
Black bengaline, ottoman faille and other shining or lustoriess corded silks are greatly used for church, reception and visiting dresses.
There are loud, constantly reiterated and very authentic rumors that history is about to repeat itself in the near future in the matter of wearing the hideous hoopskirt.
One of the natty winter coats worn by stylish young women is fitted exactly like a very long close princess bodice in the back, the skirt portion divided into long, slender tabs, silk lined and edged with a tiny roll of fur.
The utmost care is necessary in fitting the lining of each gore of the "sugar loaf" or umbrella skux rcnerwLse it will surely either ib-ag or "ha*1 If practicable the lining should lie silk, which does not stretch, is soft and therefore falls well.
Many of the latest dress skirts are open down the front, revealing a real or simulated second skirt of rich brocade, velvet Etri ped cloth, velours or plain cloth, trimmed with straight rows of gimp or decorated with a handsome tracery in soutache, about half a yard deep.
Rough Irish friezes and homespuns, with a tosst brown, dark green or blue ground, sprinkled over with dashes of shaggy curled threads of scarlet, yellow or gray, receive a distinct impress of style by means of accessories of cloth matching the dashes of color in tho material.
Double faced cotton flannel is used by some of the best dressmakers to give an elegant "hang" and body to trained evening dresses of silk and brocade. This lining is sewed in with the lower portions of each skirt seam, so that it falls evenly with the train. This lining is then covered with thin silk.
A typical winter toilet is combined in this wise: The skirt is of Mephisto red Venetian cloth, with a braided border at the lower edge of green and black soutache. The directoire redingote is of a rich shade of.green cloth, with Tjraided corner pieces, vest and collar, with astrakhan bands on the edge of sleeve, fronts and collar.—New York Post.

He—I am delighted. She—Yes, and ho said we could be married just soon as you were taken into tho firm.—New York Weekly.
I Oive my Life to You" That is a strong statement. Yet exactly what Miss Gertrude Sickler, of Wilton, N. J, has written to Mrs. Pinkham.
She says: I suffered terribly with suppressed and painful menstruations. Doctors could only keep me from having fits each month by giving me morphine. This continued until I was completely prostrated.
My father at last got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound, which at once gave me relief. It did what the doctors could not cured me. I never have any trouble now, and have no dread of the coming month.
I owe my life to ypu if other suffering worn en 1 cl a uable medicine they would bless you as I do."
