all tbe atrwta at once, not by a great deal, but there should be a beginning mail*. Terns Haute haa roadways broad and roomy aui jmscentibleof being made as handsome as any street in any other city. Aa tbey now appear, they are not much more baa ra$td lanes. Once well paved therein notarituen in the corporate limits but will be pnmd and pleased with such aa improvement.
Main, the leading business street, should receive the first attention. But it is objected that it must first be sewered. Bat eanoot the objection be overcome? Let as see. Suppose that sewers are built on Ohio and Cherry streets these respective sewers eonld be tapped for all drainage purposes from the rear of the business blocks on either side of Main street This woo Id obviate the necessity of scweriug Main, and at the same time tearing it up for both sewering and paving which would to a great extent obviate the blockade of the street dur ing paving. One side of Main could bf paved leaving the other side free to commerce during woik, and the interference with business would be small and also brief. In the paving of streets in other cities one-half of a street is leit intact while (hi other half is being paved, and there is, therefor*, hot a modicum of interference with trade or commerce. The Barrett law furnishes a method by which the expenses may be met, and property owners on Main street will greatly enhance both the value of their property and their rental by having a well paved street frontage. The reader, we take it, is informed as to the provsions of this Uw and it is not necessary to rehears* it here. One object is to bring the matter and necessity of building good roadways in this city, to the attention of the people, that it may be agitated and a policy settled npon for this necessity and much needed improvement. Terre Haute and its property holdeis can not expend money to so great an advantage any other way. It will not only greatly benefit the city as a whole, but good, paved roadways will make it an attraction and induce both capital and citieenship, to say nothing of the enhanced value it will bring to property. Nature has given us a besutifol location and it should be supplemented by some expenditure in further beautifying and making it pleasant and attractive. Our present muddy streets arc not conducive to this end. They are neither pretty nor attractive. Though Terre Haute is a city we may be justly proud of, wo aiust not stop public improvement short of good drv streets.
A BETTER MARKET.
A Clianse IKNM Come Over the NewYork fltoek E»oh«nge. Niiw YOMK, February 18.—During last week, a change come over tbo temper of the stock exebang**. The rise of the pre vious week had placed fair profits within the reach of traders, and a aeries of circumstances have combined to induce holders to realise upon the advance. The main factor contributing to this change of tone has been an entirely unexpected sharp advance in the rates for sterling and for marks up to the point admitting of exports of gold, some $1,750, 000 having been engaged for shipment. This has produced a certain measure of scare for although the banks are unusually well stocked with gold, yet it is xelt that there is still a remnant of sensitiveness in the loan market which iu uht easily grow into an unsettled feeling, in the event of onr loosing a few millions of specie. And yet there are no obvious reasons for expecting that the export will mo to any serious extent. The loan of £3.000,000 sterling by the bank of Franca to the bank of Egnland is about now maturing. One-third of the amount was paid within the past week, having two-millions sterling to be provided for. The bank of England, however, had, a week ago, nearly £5,000,090 more gold than at the same date tor the average of the last,live yearr, and the fact ot its reducing its rate of discount to S per cent on the 5th instanttthowrd that the managers could jbave apprehended no difficulty in providing for those payments to tb© bank of France. Moreover, the rate for money in the London open market to only tj per cent, indicating that the present stats of exchange here is less likely to have arisen from any preasnro at London than froin^eauses on thiis side. It is not unusual fur the rates of exchange to rule high at Sew York in February and March. In those two months of 1889, we exported $5,700,000 gold, and for the last six years the shipments for those months nave averaged dose upon $3,000,000. It it quite likely that the obi ga« tions incurred against the extra importations of goods made in anticipation of the new tariff may now bfe maturing and causing a special demand for sterling bill*. It is probably in causes of this natnre, together with an indisposition on the part of tendon to take our securities until ths failure of fee* coinate haa become an accomplished fact, that the main explanation of this no«x peeled tlovr »ld is to be ft uad. Provided the bank tf Bngtaod ahoold bo abfo tokeep up its present ample cash nranrvo-~wbieh is probable in view of the above facts—and that the free silf$r hill should be defeated, it is quite possible that London orders for onr securities may srad gold hither more freely than it it now betnf sent out. For the next two or three weeks, is probsblewo may witness a dull and hesitating condition of affairs, affording fsrorablecbano« ieking n» stocks for fata** ad van* butit is not likely tct be attended anv very proaounced decline.

CHAPTER XV. IfOVR'S WORD tS &AW,
When Russell Atood in the pretence of Alice Bay the various sophistries by whieb he had persuaded himself that ba had aright to ask her to be his wife, took their proper shapes like so many hideous genii at the touch of the good enchantress in the old stories of the East. Ho saw that they were hollow Mid false he saw himself, too, for what he was.
Thero was an honest vein of romance in his nature. He had often dreamed— without the hope of realization, as the blind dream of seeing—that he should some day stand before a woman he could love, offering her tbo service of his life, the lovoof his whole heart, and asking In return what all men hop© to win, but few deserve. Tho hour forsuch ploadiftg had comcf and Alice—he bad never framed a fancy half so worthy. And yet boWdifforeiit was tho scene from all that he had pictured. He shuddered at the thought of offering his wretched heart to her.
A woman seldom lacks a premonition when a moment such as this bas come. Alico saw Russell stand staring at her without speakin/n she marked tho intensity of his gaze and tho pallid excitement in his face. She was much disturbed, and yet she waited for his words with an appearance of calmness. "Alice," said he, "the life I have been leading 8Us me with disgust. I want to change it for something better." •'I hope, indeed, you may," said Alice, "if it has failed to satisfy you." "It has failed in a hundred ways," he replied. "It has failed to give me peace af mind or liberty. I have been tho ilave to it. It has failed of any good object except one, which I now see was far too high —was never to be reached sy any path that I have found." "Get into tho better path at once, then," said she, smiling. And then fravely: "1 think, perhaps, you havo. aot been in tho right road during tho tast yoar. Forgive my saying so we have been—we arc—very good friends, tnd. it has given mo pain to see that you have been unhappy. I have seen far less of you tban formerly, but it bas been enough to show me that you woro jareworn and weary. A great many foung men grow old very fs*t in tbeso lays, and I have feared that you would be one of them." "I feel as if I were old. Perhaps it is because I have lived two lives already, ind havo made failures of them both. You know that bofore I met you I bad for seven or eight years lead tho moat monotonous existenpe over endured by mortal man, outside a prison. I thought that there was happiness in blind routine, but one day I awoke to find that it was misery. Then, in a wild determination, I throw myself into a life of the most restless activity. That bas burned iUiolf out, and I hardly know what remains." "There remains tho middle path," said Alioe. "Many wise men have thought it the best." "I fear I can not walk in lt,M said Russell, sadly. "It requires caution which I havo lately thrown away, and a faculty of rationally hoping, whioh I do not think I ever possessed. Moreover, the middlo path in these days can hardly bo said to exist It is overgrown, because so few travel in it. If I giVe up my present lifo, I must go baok to poverty, and that means isolation." "It means no isolation so far as we aro concerned," said Alice, warmly. "Whatever life you chooso our doors will be always open to. you." "Alice, they must be forever closed to mo. The reason, I will not insult your intelligence by pretending to conceal. You read it In my face, as I can road the knowledge of it in yours. I love you and you know it and you also know a thousand reasons why I should not say it." "I know not one," said Alice, in a voice that struggled to be calm, "if it be true." "It is ail tho truth I know. It has been tho one clear certainty in a myriad of chimeras. It has been the influence that bas kept the little good in me alive to fight its lost battle with the evil. "If 1 had not loved yon, 1 should have come here to-day and asked you in set phrases to bo my wife. I should havo counterfeited the emotion which I am now struggling to snpores*. I should have met, no doubt, the* contempt whieh I deserved, but which I hope to escape by asking yon no more than to bid me a fair good-bye, and to think of me as trying to deserve the very small share la your kindly remembrance which lis all I dare to hope for."
Alice bad preserved the semblance of composure during most of this conversation, but there is something la tho word good-bye which strikes straight at a woman'* hearty if she loves* And Alice loved Russell. There will be no mystery with tbe reader on that point. She saw the serious purpose in his looks, and the tears blinded her eyes. She sank into a chair and covered Iter face. Russell saw the sign, and be was overwhelmed with consternation. "I am a brute to have grieved yon so,* he exclaimed. *"l was a madman to have cornc here at all, bringing my miserable story of weakness and Irresontlon to yonr-ears.*
He beaan to paco tho room, but as be approached the door, she looked up* fesstlly crying: "0h» plesss, not yet I have much more to say." "Alice, what do these tears mean? Is it fowftle that you have thrown sway* yoar taut upon poor a creature as I wmT*

There is a fall review of the events of the quarter of a century which has passed Bince Appomattox, and the narration doses with the admission of Idaho and Washington as states, in July, 1800, and the publication in November, of the United States census figures for 1890.
Brought up to this year
TheHmt ricanized Encyclopaedia Britannica not only covers all subjects treated of in the original work, and a very large number of additional subjects, but brings its historical and statistical matter up to date (1890). Of the 44 states which com* pose the American Union, the Britannica, ninth edition, Snows only 38 as such, the remainder being still in their territorial condition, Dakota nndivided, and Oklahoma entirely^ otniUed. In treating of these states and territories aleo the statistic*! given in ihe original are those of a bjrgone time. The,. British work gives tbe population, the agricultural ajad the, ,: manufacturing statetics of Alabama for the year 1870, andf^ complacently compares them with tbe data for le(K). Arkansas,?,, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware and Florida are similarly treated for Georgia we havo the population and,. manufactures of 1870, and the cotton crop of 1870. For the other states ths figures for 1880 are given, and in Wisconsin,#^ which comes near the end of the book, there is reference to a census of 1885. s&d.
In the Americanized edition the populations are those of
The Census of 1890,
The statistics of production the latest published by stats so- *. thority or obtainable by correspondence. All that is true of the states is equally true of ths cities. In isif Articles dealing with the great commtrdal centers of the country them On Uw compilers of the Americanised Encyclopedia have with great j|p Principal laboi and expense obtained tbe statistics of growth snd deyel-f" opment, of population and manufactnres, direct from the civic authorities, the boards of trade and chambers of commerce in each city, or from qualified writers on the spot. It bas been nectssary to entirely rewrite the articles on such citirs ss New York, Philadelphia, 'Chicago, Boston, Indianapolis. Cincinnati, Cleveland, St. Louis. Omaha, Kansas City, San Francisco, 8t. Paul, Minneapolis, New Orleans, Louisville, Denver snd hundred other*. In addition to this the entire omission by tbs Encyclopedia Botanies of such incipient metropolis as Tacoma, aod'Tennessee, has been supplied, and the figures for ths currest year obtained.

Among the subjects not treated stall in ths Encyclopaedia Britanka, and upon which origins! articles have been specially prepared for tbe Americanised work, we have only space ts came a few of the more important, as follows Gettysburg, Battle of.
