BRIDGE-BUILDING IN AMERIOA, Some Notable Examples of Engineer- ing Skill in this Country, From the New York Times. “If there is anything in which the United States can justly claim prece- dence over all other countries it is for the simplicity, mechanical construction aud boldness of design of their bridges.” This remark was made toa Times’ re- porter, and with a good deal of pride, by Mr. Thomas C. Clarke, of the Union Bridge company, and one of the veteran bridge-builders of the company. ‘The Brooklyn bridge,” he added, ‘has the largest span and is considered the largest bridge in the world. But we will soon be obliged to yield the palm of having the biggest bridge to another country. There is now building over the Firth of Forth, in Scotland, a bridge of two spans, each of which is as long as the Brooklyn bridge. This is the greatest bridge ever designed anywhere. Weare up to noth- ing of the kind in America, and we haven’t money enough for it. “No,” remarked a listener; “‘taking the way the estimated cost of average bridges increases after construction be- gins, such a bridge as that would swamp the whnle country.” ““This increased cost,”was Mr. Clarke's reply, “‘is usually owing to the fact that builders’ ideas expand as the work goes on, and although there is always a growl about it, the bridges aregreatly improved. A notablo exception to this rulowas the building of the cantilever bridge over the Niagara, which was comploted last year. That was built, under contract, complete, in eight months—the quickest piece of bridge-building on record. The cantilever principle is as old as the world. Why, every bracket embraces it! The difficulty in applying it was to put up staging. That was impossiblo at Niagara, but with the solving of the difficulty by using what is practically an overhanging crane, America reached the high-water mark in_the science of bridge-building. The bridge in Scotland is being construct- ed on the cantilever principle, and is en- tirely of steel.” “Steel is the coming material for all bridges, is it not?” “‘Yes, for by and by the price of steel will be low enough to make steel bridges as common as wooden bridges used to be. When I went into the business, in 1866, steel rails were worth $1.75 in _currency, or $1.25 in gold per pound. Now they are 32 cents. A great deal of iron is used now, but it is giving way to steel, as wood is to iron, There are probably 300 miles of iron bridges in the country now, and perhaps in the neighborhood of 700 miles of wooden bridges. Iam speak- ing now of railway bridges. The con- struction of road bridges is quite a sepe- rate and distinct industry, 1t is the price of iron that regulates the cost of a bridge; the cost of labor has very little tc do with 1t, All the difliculties of manufac- turing iron into steel have been over- come. Now let mesay a word as a bridge-builder on the tarifft. The imme- diate effect of a protective tariff adds the duty to the cost of importing the mate- rial. In the beginning, that gives the profits to the manufacturers and & great many go into the business. Then down come the prices, until the manufacturers are losing money. ~ What then? Why, the manufacturers combine, as they have in other branches, and put the price up. If the tariff is fixed at a reasonable rate everything will be right; if too high it must be reduced, What we went, no matter what party is in power, is & revis- ion and reduction of the tariff. The question of the tarif is, as Daniel Web- stor said, the question of the day—as much 80 now as then, In Canada to-day they are importing steel plates and angles at 2 conts per pound. Here we pay a duty of 2} cents on angles and 2§ oa plates. *“To come back to bridges,” continued Mr. Olarke, all, or nearly all, the steel used in railway bridges is made here, very- littlo being imported. That new bridge at Rondout, on the West Shore, if built ten years ago, would have been the subject of a book, Now it is simply a railroad bridge, and not one traveler in ten even looks at it as he goes over it. Itis very light, yet perfectly secure. That is & great point where American engineers excel—in having lightness com- bined with perfect security. It is a sav- ing to the railways, too, for bridges are paid for by the pound. Now an or- der is given for a bridge just as it is for a locomotive—it is & mere matter of com- mercial manufacture, When I wasin England some years ago I wanted to go and seo the Tay bridge, but the civil en- 40, that's not much good; It's not worth going to see’. Ididn't see the bridge. But I know its construc- ~|tion was so palpably erromeous that s common house carpenter could have seen its unsafe condition. Our American rail- way history shows nothing the equal of that great disaster, though the Ashta- bula horror came near exough,” “‘What was the cause of that disas- te “There's no use in stirring that up let it go, I can only say that any practi cal builder would have pronounced the bridge unsafe; the connections were bad- ly made, The bridge was built a good many years ago, and bridge construction was not understood then as it is now. A recurrence of such a thing is well mgh possible, The bridges built in the last five or six years'are perfoctly safe, unless 4two trains should meet or & train run off f these ac extromely improbable, The railroad companies allow no iron bridges, improp- erly constructed, to remain. There are, to be sure—or 80 1 have heard—a good - | many unsate bridges, probably hundreds of them, 1t will take time for these to bore placed by iron or steel ones. The great danger with wooden bridges is from cinders and sparks. These drop on the wood, char in a little, and weaken the structure until an unususlly heavy traln or sudden jar causes a crash, There have been hundreds of accidents from this cause. So the wooden bridges must go. Aniron bridge costs little more. The steel for the great Scotland cantilever, I may say, is being made right at the spot, works having beon sot up tor that pur- pose.” “How about stone bridges?” asked of Mr. Clarke. ““The best example of a stone bridge," he replied, ‘s High Bridge over the Harlem, in our own city. We have this and the Brooklyn bridge; in both we can take just pride. One of the remarkable wooden bridges of the country is that over the Susquehanna at Havre de Grace, It has twelve spans and is 3,271 foet long. The bridge at St. Louis, with three spans of 525 feet each, is another triumph of American englneering. Then there is the bridge over the Schuylkill at Girard avenue, Philadelphia, an important and mansivo structure, a delight to the eye of an engineer, for it furnishes a study of consequence.” “‘How is_the bridge-building industry flourishing 1" “All the important works, I think, have plenty of orders on hand. Nobody is doing anything very great; that is, there are no phenomenal bridges now building. There will not be many rail- way schemes on foot for some years o come. It will bea long time before another road will attempt to parallel the New York Central, West Shore and Erie. People have got onough of that. Bridge building is now mainly on the branches of trunk lines. The trunk lines are run- ning all right now, and they are enlarg- ing and completing their branches. Then we're replacing a good many wooden structures. We've always been ahead of the world in bridge building, and we in- tend to stay there.” was —— THE BLUE BOOK, Another Volume Issued—Interesting Information Disclosed. Chicago Times, The second volume of the government “Blue Book," otherwise known as “‘The officlal register of the United states,” which contains a full list of the ofticers and employes of the post-office depart- ment and the postal service, has just made its appearance. This bluo book is compiled every second year, the idea bhe- ing to furnish to each new congress a complete list of tho officers and em- ployes of the government in all its branches, with the salary paid, state from which employed, otc. Tne first volume made its appearance some months since, early in the session, It contained the names of all persons in tbe employ of the various departments ex- copt those of the post-oflico department. The second volume, contatning the names of the fost-office employes, s the one re- ferred to above as just out. 1t is a volume of nearly one thousand pages, and con- tains, besides the names of ofticers and employes in tho department at Washing- ton, the names of all the mail contract- ors, post-office clerks and agents of the various railroads, all of those employ- ed in mail messenger service, and railway mail service, all the carriersand clerks in postoffices and all postmasters. The list of postmasters discloses some inter- esting facts, There are, in round num- bers, about fifty thousand postmasters in the United States, whose salaries are from $8,000 per annum down to 9 cents. The individual receiving the largest sala- THE BRAZILIAN CAJU, A Deliclons Tropical EFruit with Pe- culiar Oharacteristics, Now York Sun, “I have often wondered,” remarked ‘s gontleman recently returned from Brazil, ‘why importers of tropieal fruit never made an effort to introduce the delight fully cool and refreshing caju of Brazil in this city. The caju grows wild and is cultivated in that country. The caju troo hardly rises to the dignity of a troe, but its branches are wide-spreading, and ita loaves larger than those of the rubber treo, of a brilliant green color and oval shape, and shine as if they were varnish. od. The bloom is on the extremities of thelbranches, and is a small, pale yellow fl r, growing in clusters. One variety of the garden caju, when ripo, is as largo as a Bartlott pear and shaped something like it. Some varietios are bright yellow, some deep red, and others yellow, with pink-colored chooks, The (lesh, or pulp, of the caju is more tempting in appearance than that of any fruit I ever saw, but it is never eaten. It is for the juice alone that the caju is prized, In this it is much more prolific than the juciest orange. Itis the custom of the Brazilians to suck a caju before breakfast, but at any hour of the day the juice is delightful. It is sweot and delicious, slightly astringent, and a wonderful allayer of thirst, The juice of one caju is more gratetul to a thiraty person than a goblet of the purest water. “The wild caju, which grows. profusely in the foreats, is small nng acrid, and is athered by the natives for wine-making. he wine made from it resembles in tasto an ordinary claret sweetoned with sugar, and is a popular baverage among the poorer people. A peculiarity of the caju is its sood, which grows on tho out- sido of the fruit, and hangs from its larger extremity, The seed is in size and appearance like a largekidney bean. Tho kernel is surrounded by a pulpy covering. which secretes a powerful fluid acid, Wherever this touches the flesh a painful blister will form at once, aimilar to that made by dropping particles of a marlor match on the hand., By roasting the kernels, however, this troublesome property of the seed is destroyed. The roasted kernels of caju seed ar as popu- lar in some part of Brazil as peanuts are here, and taste very much likejthem. In roasting the kernels great care is exer- cised in preventing the smoke that rises from them from touching any part of the flesh, for wherever it touches a most irritating'inflammation is the immediate result. If the smoke enters the eyes it will destroy the sight. *“The caju has almost as many varieti- es as the American pear, and it would certainly become a popular fruit if intro- duced here.” ———— A Good Soldier’s Sound Advice, General Crook to West Point Graduates, You have been taught the elements of war, but do not forget that your constant thought must be the preservation of peace.

The smallest salary appears to bo that paid to H. H. Forest, postmaster at Redale, Pitt county, N. C., whose salary, according to the register, was ) cents. Postmasters be- low a certain grade, it will be understood, are paid according to the number of stamps cancelled in their offi- cos. Formerly they paid according to the number of stamps sold, but this sys- sem was not found to be satisfactory,some of the postmasters making a business of selling stamps in order to got their per- centages. Now they are paid by the number of stamps cancelled, receiving the full value to the first $50, and a cer- tain proportion after reaching that sum. Out of the 50,000 postmasters in the United States, there are 2,000 according to register whose salarics are less than £10 each. Of course, it is not to be un- deratood that theso persons devote their time or attention to the duties of post- masters for this sum. Theso are places where post-offices are located in country stores or at private houses, and are kept either as an accommodation to tho neigh- borhood or with the idea that their keep- ing brings some additional trade to the proprietor of the store or ouher establishment whero they are kept.

OF those postmasters whose salaries were lesss than §1, Mississippi, Louistana and Pennnylvania has one each; Virginia, Tennissee, Alabama, Wisconsin, Ken- tucky and Minnesota have two each, while North Carolina has no less than a dozen postmasters who got less than $1 a year for their services in this line. There are fifteen whose salaries were less than B0 cents for the entire year. Jd. H, Cockerhan, of Vanally, Surrey county, North Carolina, received 48 cents last year for his services, 8.

New Youk, July 8.—Dougan's planing mill on tho systom produces permanant disability, but trv {t and be cured. - Schroter & Becht. “Trade supplied by 0. ¥ Goodman,” BELF-SLAIN, A Discarded Lover Ends his Misery by Shootiug Himself, Bavrivore, Md., June 30.—Walter Terrell, residing at 301 West Lanvalo stroot, has boen very prominent in social cirolos n this city for sevoral years. About six months ago he met & Miss Ada Dowd, a young lady from Virginia, who, while visiting frlends in this city, created quite a furore in society by her extraordinary beauty and many accom- plishments, ~ She is only 17 yearsold, an heiress, and undoubtedly the handsom- o8t woman in the state. Soon after they met she was frequently seon in company with young Terrell, and it was plainly apparent that the young man was deeply enamored with the proud little beauty, whose popularity has been frequently marred by the haughty dignity which marked her intercourse with others. Seated in young Terrell’s hundsome dog- cart they were seen two or threo times a week in Druid Hill Park, and society of late became convinced that the Yirginia girl bad ot last fallen @ victim to love's blandishments, Terrell, as & matter of fact, had proposed, and was placed on probation by his inamorata, who would not consent to a formal engagement, while admitting that she was not wholly fancy free, The cause of this caution on the part of the girl it has since transpired, was a fear that Terrell was given to drink, Saturday night he called at the residence of Miss Dowd, on McElderly street, it being understood that he should then place an uufiuuemant ring upon her finger, and that their relations to each other should then be made known to their friends. Young Terrell, it seems, being elated with his happiness, drunk to excess, and when the servant admit- ted him to the parlor of his fiancee he attempted to embrace her before the footman had withdrawn, This affront was unpardonable'to the proud girl, who in cool and cutting tones requested him to withdraw. Terrell, after an ex- citing scene, complied. All day Sunday he called, but was invariably met by the polite formula, “Not at home.” Finally at night when he called the servant delivered the mes- sage, **Miss Doud will not be at home to Mr, Terrill in the future,” The young man, half-orazed with grief, went home, and his parents heard him walking the floor of his bedroom all night. Tis mor ning sbout 8 o'clock s pistol-shot was heard in his room, followed by a heavy fall, The parents rushed to the scene. Young Terrell was lying in the middle of the floor with a pistol in his hand and a bullev through his brain, Oa his bureau was & picture of Miss Doud and s letter addressed to her, The contents of this note can not be ascer- ained. A lotter to his parents resd os follows, My Dear Pa and Ma—1 bid you and all my friends and enemies good-bye. 1 think 1 have more of the former than the iro burst a tank on u Publishivg works, s and machinery $10 in Brooklyn, burned this 000, The heat from th the roof of the A the water damaging o latter. I cannot live without my darling, She has discarded me, and God knows I proud little darling. T can make no de- ense. For God's sake don’t blame her, She is right in this as in everything else. Your loving son, Warran” Miss Dowd, accompanied by a lady friend of her family, went at once to her lover's bedaide on learning the nows. She waas greatly shocked and fainted on enter- ing the house. Terrell's doctor says he cannot live through the night. — Ho Run Into Something, A Now York Central locomotive stood close to the Main street crossing in Buf. falo. The Groman was busy oleaning some blood and pieces of moat off the cow-catcher. *‘Don’t shudder,” he said, “nothin’ but beef—a fool cow got on the track back here by Loonyville, Killed a man once at the same crossing. It's an unlucky spot, 1 guess. Do wo have many such accidents? Yes, a fow. Did you over hear of old Jerry Drew, lives up near Rochester? No? Well, wo had a scrimmagoe with him one day. He gots drunk overy time he goes to town, and that day he was drunker than ever, He allus soomed to got to the track 'bout time wo got to the road, an’ I've seon him whip ap his horses and whoop and yell and try to get there the same minute wo did many a time. He secemed to delight in it. Once he stopped right on the track, and when we camo up slow with brakes on he dared us to como any closer, and said he'd run over us, Had to whistle and scare his horses In order to got him off. The time 1 started out to tell you about, though Jorry had had too much and was sound asloop in his wagon. The horses went on the track right in front of us, and the whole institution was busted all to piecos. We stopped as quick as we could an’ run back. Both horses was killed and the wagon all cut up to kindlin’ wood an’ sorap iron. Over by the fonce was old Jerry. Isaw he wasn't doad right away. The shock had woke him up, an’' ho was tryin’ to drink out of the neck of a bot- tle, the neck being all thero was left of it. ‘What's the matter here ' I shouted to him. He looked up, opened his eyes a littlo, an’ gazed around him. ‘I guess— hie,’ he , ‘I guess I must o'—hic—run into sumthin’,” [ tal take, *‘YVes, sir, I was up to the Chicago con- vention,” replied one drummer in re- sponse to the inquiry of another, as they both looked around in vain tosee if there were any pretty %il’ll on the car; “‘had a royal time, too. Walked about the hatels and made peoplo think I was a big politi- cian, Tried to make Steve Elkinas believe I was a delegate from the south, and hard up for stuff to pay my hotel bill with, But he was too flip for me— couldn’t work him,” ‘How did he catch onto you?” “Well, I'll tell you. He took me into room 40, Grand Pacific, clear into the little back bedroom. ‘Now,’ says he, ‘we want all the friends we can get in the south. We're going to have a glorious foreign policy, and—bat let's take a drink first,’ says ho. *Certainly,’ says 1. ‘Whitelaw,’ says Stove, ‘pass the bottle.” They gave me the bottlo, but I hesitated. ‘What now? says Elkins, ‘A glass, if you plonse,’ says I. “Young man,’ says Steve, as he took me by the collar, ‘your namo may be Brown, and you may bo a delegate from Georgia, buf I believe you are an infernal liar. You're the first man from the south I've seen—and I've seen about all of 'em— that asked for a glass to drink whisky out of. Now you get out of here.'” e — Telegraph Tricks, J.T. Norris, of Springfield, Ohio, the detective, does a trick that probably no other man in the country can imitate, Ho takes a silver coin, usuaily a dollar, and places it in his mouth between his teeth. With his tongue ho strikes it against the teeth, with the sound of a telegraphic instrument, the opening and closing of the circuit being exactly imitated. Norris used to be an operator, and by means of the coin can telegraph words so distinot- that any telegrapher can easily read the message. In this manner he tele- graphed b0 words a minute. A Republican reporter wrote out a messsago on a West- ern Union blank and headed it to the de- tective. The two operators in chargo at the Southern took down the words as fast as Norris produced them with the coin. The message was rapidly sounded and written down and all three copies coin- cided exactly. Mr. Morris can stand up before a telephone and in this novelman- ner telegraph a messago which any ope- rator can read with facility, But the most wonderful thing is to see him tele- graph with his eyelids. The dots and dushes of tho telegraphic alphabet he in- dicates by more or loes rapid opening and shutting of the eyelids, 1n this mannor he can converse with an expert without uttering a sound.—[St. Louis Republi- can, rance and Ohina, Toxpo, July 3,—The Shanghsi correspon- dont of tho Times telegraphs n war is threat ened between i s, An in- fluential party in € iustigating it Promiuent officials as Tso Taung Tang, Pong Yu_Lin, and Marquis Ta ate the recont I'rance probably " DISEASES OF THE EYE & EAR J T.
