It is considering what shall bo dona with the half a million dollars which the Illinois Central Railroad pays ovcry year into the State treasury. The Chicago Tribune says, use it to ninko good wagon roads. The suggestion is a wise one, for good roads promote civilization, good fel lowship and good morals. Hut it i3 not every man, even though he limy boa road-master, or even an engineer, who knows how to build a good wagon load. The beat roads ever built, since the days of the old Rom ans, arc those known as the MoAdain roads. MeAdam was an Amei ican w ho set tled in Scotland, in 1783, and got appointed a commissioner of loads. He had a mania for road-building, to which he devoted himself for six-and-twenty years. His plan of road making is described as follows in the St. James's Gazette: His leading principle was that a road ought to be considered as an artificial flooring, so strong and even ns to let the heaviest vehicle pass over it without impediment. Then people began to hear with wonder of loads thirty and forty feet wide rising only tiiree inches in the centre, and he propounded the ex traordinary heresy, that a better and more lasting road could be made over the surface of a morass than over solid rock. Another of his easy first principles was that the native soil was more re sistant when dry than when wet. As in reality it had to carry not alone the traffic, but the road also, it ought to be kept in a condition of the greatest resistance ; that the best way of keeping it diy was to put over it a covering impervious to rain the road, in fact. The thickness of this covering was to be regulated solely in relation to its impcrviousness, and not at all as to its bearing of weights, to which the native soil was quite equal. Instead of digging a trench, there fore, to do away with the surface of the native soil, he carefully respected it, and raised the road sufficiently above it to let the water run off. Impermeability he obtained by the practical discovery that stones broken small, and shaken and pres sed together, as by the traffic on a road, rapidly settled down face to face, and angle to angle, and made as close a mass as a wall. Mankind in general now believe that this last is all that MeAdam invented ; the rest is forgotten. That important fraction of his discoveries is what has given to us the verb to macadam ize (" To pave a road with small broken stones." ficeat), and to the 'French their nouns macadam, ("Norn d'nn pavagc inventc par un Anglais. ' '-Jjtttrc,') macudamhaijc, and the verb macadamiacr. If a man is knocked down by an omnibus in the middle of the boulevard, a Pa risian bystander will uow-a-days say," "Jcl'aivutombersur le macadam." Surprise followed surprise. Roads which were mere layers of broken stone, six, four, and even as little as three inches in thickness, passed through the worst winters without breaking up, while, as the coachman used to say, they "ran true" ; the wheel ran hard upon them, it ran upon the nail. Even in the breaking of stones MeAdam made a revolution. He saw that able-bodied men btanding up with heavy hammers wasted the greater portion of their strength. He made his stone-breakers sit, so that all the force of tho blows took direct effect on the stone ; and the result was that he found small ham mers did tho work perfectly well, and thus was able to confine it to old men past hard labor, women, and boys, which reduced the cost of the broken stone, by one-half. Tho size to which the stone should be broken, he determined in a practical way, by the area of contact of an ordinary wheel with a smooth road. This lip found to bo nbout an inch lengthwise, and therefore ho lajd it down thafastono which exceeds an inch in any of its dimensions is mis chievous," that is to say, that the wheel in pressing on one end of it, tends to lift the other end out of the load. ' In piactico he found it simplest to fix a we'ghtof six ounces, and his sur veyors carried about scales to test the largest stones in each heap, Ho would allow no largo stones even for the foundation of his roads, for ho found they constantly worked upward by the pressure and vibra tion of the tralllc. The whole road was small broken btoncs, even over swampy ground. A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION. Tho American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr. Kasson, has lately foi warded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable Fiirglcal operation lately pei formed by Professor Billroth, o'f Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con sistcd In llic removal of a portion of the human stomach, Involving nearly one-third of tho organ ami. strange to ay, the patient recovered -the only sui restful operation of the kind evof performed. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of tlto stomach, attended with tlto follow big svinptoms: Tho appetite is quite pool. '1'1'icio la a peculiar hide, ciibablodistioss In the stomach, u feel, big that liaa been dc-cUbcd ni a faint "ttlgvie" sensation; a sticky sllnio col. loots nbotil the teeth, especially In tho morning, necoinp.uiicd by an unpleasant taste. Tood fails to batisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; hut, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. Tho ejes nre sunken, tinged with yellow; the hands and feet become cold and sticky a cold perspiration. Tho sufferers feel tired nil tho time, and sleep docs not seem to glc rest. After a time tho pa. tient become nervous and irritable, gloomy, lili mind illicit with evil fore-boding-. AVhcn rising suddenly fiom a lecumhenl position thcio is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to gi.isp something llrm to keep fiom falling. Tho bowels costive, the tkin dry and hot at times; tho bloou bcconi big thick and stagnant, and docs not cbciilito pioperly. After a time the patient spits up lood soon nftcr eating, sometimes In a sour and fermented con. dltion, sometimes sweetish to the lasto. Oftentimes there la a palpitation of the heart, and tho patient fears he ni.iy have heart disease. Towards tho last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the opening in tho bites, tines becomes clo-eil, or nearly so. Al though this dlsc.ibo is indeed alaiming, sull'cicis with the above named sjnip tonis should not feel neivous, lor nino hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand have no 'cancer, but simply dyspepsia, n disease easily lcmovcd if treated in a proper mnnnei. .The safest and best remedy for the disease is Scigel's Curative S 1 up, a vcgetahlo pre. paration sold by all chemists and medi cine vendors thioughout tho world, and by tho proprietors, A. .T.

Spanish Town, Jamaica, AVcst Indies, Oct. 2 1,1 SSI Dear Sir, I wiite to Infoim you that I have derived great bencllt from "Scigel's Syrup." For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, w ilh its many and vaiied concomitant evils, so that my life was a peipctual mlsciy. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Scigel's Syiup, and although lather t-ceptical, liaviug tiied so many reputed infallible lemedies, I determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) 1 am glad to say that I am a different being altogether. It is mid of ccitain pens that they "conio as a boon and a blessing to men" and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement. 1 can truly say, how ever, that Scigel's Syi up has como as a "boon and a blessing" to me. I havo re commended it to scvcial fellow-suffeicis from this distiessing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for tho benefit I havodeiivcd from the excellent pic paiatinn, prompts mo to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. I am dear Sir, Youis ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B. Bcriy, A. .1. White, Esq. Baptist Misslonaiy, ' l'reslou, Sept. 21st, 18S3. My Dear Sir, Your Syrup and Pills arc still very popular with my customers, many saying they are tho best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said "Mother Scigcl" had bftved tho life of his wife, and ho added, "ono of these bottles I' nm sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is veiy 111. I buvo much fath in it." Tho sale keeps up wonderfully, In fact, one would fancy almost thut tho people wcio belnnliic to bicakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigul's Syiup, tho dc maml is so constant and the satisfaction fao gieat. 1 nm, dear Sir, v ouis faithfully, (Signed) W.
