But the legislature has not agreed with those who desired to make the New York approach to the bridge highly ornamental, and the engineers will completo this part of the great work within its existing boundaries. These are in plain view to every person who chooses to stop and look through the fence at the Chatham stroet sidewalk, Seen from that point the bridgeseems to approach the street at an elevation of about three feet above the street grade. But the purt of the structure that is thus elevated is only the promenade. 1t is a series of brick arches that will support the light masonry of a foot-walk seve teen feet in width. This promenade to be reached by means of stono steps from the street grade, On one side will be the carriage-way, eighteen feet and nine inches in width, and on the other side of the promenade will bo the railway, twelve feet and ten inch- es in width. Both the carriage-way and the railway will be on the street grade. The arches that will support the promenade—their ends are now open to the street—will afford room for carrying water and gas-pipes and perhaps electric and other wires, but the conjecture that has been made by 50 many persons who have guessed as to their purpose—namely, that the endless cables that will propel the cars will run in the darkness of there vaults from Chatham street to the Pearl street anchorage—is very wide of the mark. The vaults cannot be made available for that purpose. PASSENGER STATIONS. The width of the promenade is pre- cisely the exterior width of the pes- senger stations on both sides ot the river. Both are to be of iron On the New York side the passenger sta- tion will rise from the point at which the end of the arched vaults under the promenade are seen, a few feet distant from the Chatham street side- walk. Tt is to be an ornamented but of course not an imposing structure, seventeen feet in width exteriorly, and from three hundred to four hup- dred feet in length, or as much longer as may be nccessary to ac- commodate all the passengers who may at any one timo desire to enter the cars, {L will probably be two stories in height, as one story above the public part of the structure will always be sufficient for the purposes of the officers of the bridge and their employes, The lower story will be, of course, only a promenade opening to a broad, airy foot-walk for those who may choose to ride shanks’ mare over the 5,987 feet from Chatham street to Sands. There is to be an iron sub- station at Franklin square, with stair- cases connecting with the “L" ro: The station on the Brooklyn side will open at Sands streét to a spacious plaza that is to be formed by tearing down a block of ouildings from Sands street up the hill to High street. This plaza is to be paved for carriage and other traffic, and much of the space overhead will, it is be- lieved, be occupied as the western ter- minus of the Brooklyn ‘‘L" roads. The trustees of the great bridge have already invited plans for the depots of the bridge. TIME OF COMPLETON. As you descend the hillside from Columbia heights and reach the level of the roofs of the five-story struc- tures in Fulton street, Brooklyn, and look thence up to the roadway of the great bridge suspended far above those roofs, the stupendousness of the work bursts upon you. The cables, high above the roadway, did not give you this sense of loftiness; but the road- way, now overhanging Water street, does, Of the floor beams of this high- way in the clouds, of which there are to i)c about five hundred, 280 were in place yesterday—seventy on eachside of both towers. Engineers Martin and Paine confess their annoyance at the tardiness of the contractors in delivering the steel for the suspended superstructure; but they confidently expegt the contractors to deliver 300 tons a month henceforward, and at this rate of delivery—and there is no reason to doubt that the steel will he delivered to this amount —the engineers will guarantee the completion of the promenade by mid- October, and of the i way a month later, It is understood that that the promenade will be opened to the public immediately upon its com- pletion, and that promenaders will enjoy the privilege of seeing the pro- gress of the workmen completing the carriage way and the railway three feet nine inches below the iurumeuudc. 1t is conjectured that until the novel ty wears off, that promenade, high above the masts of the shipping, will serve instead of many a trip to Coney Island and Rockaway. ge The Edgemoor company are deliver- ing about three hundred tons of steel amonth, About a thousand more tons are required to make up the 10,- 000 tons of steel of which the sus- pended superstructure will be com- posed. No time is lost in putting the material in place after its arvival, It is therefore easy to believe that you way walk from the city hall in New York to the city hall in Brooklyn by the'middle of October next. New York Tunnel railway company | proposes to make a connection and | to carry thence an underground rail road to Fourth avenue and up to tho | Grand Central depot. Work has begun on the Blackwell's island bridge, which is to span th East river between Ravenswood aud | Seventy-sixth street. A cofier da for the Ravenswood pier has bea made, and workmen are busy on tho piers on Blackwell's island. The | bridge is supported by eight towers of iron, two at Ravenswood, two at the coal wharf on Blackwell’s island, two | eighty feet from the west soa wall of tho island and two on the New York shore. These towers will support the chaing for the main spans, ‘Thess chains will be composed of links from twenty-four to twenty-eight feet long, ten inches deep and two inches thick, and be connected by pins six inches in diameter. There are to be three cables, and for each the links aro to | be piaced side by side so as to n a chain six feet wide. The e length of the bridge from Ravens- wood to Third avenue in this city is to be 9,752 feet. The height of the floor above mean tide is to be 156 feet in the clear. | | | 1 \ The Wedding Ring. rom the New York Tiunes. There is manifested in some parts of the west a desire te abolish the wedding ring. This is not strange. The wed- ding-ring has been a fruitful source of woes unnumbered, which any heaven- 1y goddess might sing with great ap- plause should she feel so disposed. Tales of the utmost horror have been told of bridegrooms who, at the mo- ment when the clergyman pauses for the ring, cannot find it. Nothinghas ever shown half 8o much skill in self- concealment as the wedding-ring. It will hide in the corner of a waistcoat pocket in such a way as to defy dis- covery, and ‘it will transport itself from one pocket to another, thus com- pelling the bridegroom to ransack every one of thirteen distinct pockets. Nervous men—and who isnot nervous when personally undergoing the mar- riage ceremony?--frequently drop the wedding ring on the church tloor, where it will roll the entire length of the building to conceal itselt in an inac- cessible crack. Sometimes it finds or makes a hole in the pocket, by means of which it penetrates into the interior of the bridegroom’s clothing, and even into his boots; so that it is quite a common occurence for a wedding to be interruoted while the bride- groom retires behind the pulpit and devotes half an hour to searching for the ring and to getting his boots on again. As men are notoriously mar- ried in new boots, and as a new boot when once removed cannot always be dragged on again without boot-hooks, the wedding guests are sometimes treated to the spectacle of a bride- groom going through the last half of the' ceremony with one boot in its Frupur place and the other held in his oft hand. There was a time when the careful western man always kept the wedding-ring in his mouth until the clergyman called for it, but this custom has now fallen into disuse. Fastidious clergymen and brides, who had contracted the conventional ideas of the east, ohjectad to the use of a warm, moist ring, Moreover, in his embarrassment the bridegroom often failed to distinguish between the ring and his tobacco, and found, when it was too late, that he had—that is to say, that the ring was missing. Then, too, there were scveral unfor- tunate bridegrooms who unmntention- ally swallowed wedding-rings, and thus laid themselves open to miscon- struction, There was one man, re- ported to be of miserly habits, who, doubtless inadvertently swallowed a wedding-ring known to be of consider- able value, and choked todeath in the process, This would naturally have seriously inconvenienced the bride had not her brothers —two practical men-~ been present, With great presence of mind the brothers removed the choked bridegroom to the rear of the church, wherethey recovered the ring with their hunting-kuives, and, pressing an eligi ble young man into the service, en- abled their sorrowing sister to be hap- pyily married after o delay of only ten minutes, Still, one instance like this not compensate for the many cuses in which swallowed rings have produced suffering and inconvenience, and it 1s no wonder that the custom of holding the ring in the mouth become obsolete, Fi docs The freedom of divoree which pre- s in many of our states must in- evitably mm{cr the wedding-ring un- popular. Every timea wife 18 divorced she naturally wishes to take off her ring. If it is made small enough to remain safely on the finger, it is very apt to become so tight at the end of two or three months of matrnnonial telicity that it cannot be removed. Hence, with a view to contigencies, the Illinois wife always has her ring made several sizes too large for her, and keeps it in place with 4 smaller ring, technically known as the guard- ring, It is evident, however, that the guard-ring is liable to become per- manently fixed on the finger, so that this device, specious s it may appear, is veally uscless. The only remedy is Omaha, July 11th, 1851—-d2w ity Clerk.

Tho heat is all in their im- aginat "Chis averment is strictiy seiontific. Tho world s profoundly indebted to dical neo for a great deal that it does not know, Medical science h serted time and again that there is not the least difli- culty in keeping cool if one only makes up his mind, and the system to be fol- lowed in keeping one’s mind made up is distinctly laid down. Tt includes: Diet; Clothing; Environment; Cheerful and contented contempla- tion. The most eminent virtue of medi- cal science is its unity. Some dys peptic cynic, who proferred to bo his own apothecary rathor than pay a fee to a physician, has written a caustic about doctors disagreeiag, the experience of all who have placed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in their hands, bears testimony to their consistency and concord. In no part of the numerous treaties on hygiene is the more beautifully illus- trated than in the regulations for keeping cool. These regulations, like certain studies in the colleges, are optional, but not at all antithetical. For instance, as to liquid DE.
