him, takes leave of that party, as all will when
they understand its aims:

Rack I.land bridge.

The committee appointed by the citizens OF
st. Louis to examine the Rock Island bridge as
an obstruction under the free navigation OF the
Mississippi river, reported on Thursday last
They state that the bridge is supported by
uiers. six OF which are in the water at lowest
stage. The river is very narrow where the
bridge is built, and all the water that passes
down the Mississippi is compressed into narrow
space; all the piers are built quartering across
the channel at an angle of 20 degrees.
The pier ON which the draw .reyolves is 1876
fee, long; 1t is directly in the channel and quar-
tering across it it forms a kind OF tunnel, IN
connection with the other piers; and the water,
when high, runs through between at the rate
of 10 or II miles per hour. The opening left
for boats to pass through is only ll6 feet wide,
and in consequence OF the cross currents mace
By the diagonal piers, boat has to come down
partially sideways, to avoid being forced on
the head OF the piers. When the wind blows
strong across the river, boat can neither 90
up nor down. The long pier has increased the
current SO much, by COMPRISING the water INTO
u narrow chute, that boat that is adapted to
all the rest of the river, has not power to force
itself through the draw, there being fall OF
four feet in the length of the long pier, with
furious current dragging the boat all the time
across the head of the pier.
The committee give as their opinion that the
company have not complied with their charter
from Illinois. mo charter has been obtained
from Iowa. They think a suspension bridge
should have been built.

w A case in some respects similar to that

gB A case in some respects similar to that
which produced the conviction and imprison
ment, while since, of a dentist in Philadelphia,
has lately come to light. The particulars and
details are given in the New York Tribune. A
young lady, of Rutland, Vt, alledges that eight
months since she was returning from Phiadel-
phia under the care of gentleman who resides
in said city. That at New York she was persua-
ded to stop and dine with her protector, who
gave her glass Of wine, and subsequently she
awoke from stupor, and found herself in one
of the rooms of the hotel and her friend by her
side. He represented that she had been seized
by fanting attack and by him taken to the
room, and being satisfied with his representa-
tons, and being recovered she proceeded on
her way to Vermont. Months afterwards, her
peculiar situation being discovered, she then for
the first time was aware that she had been foully
dealt with, while, as she AYERS, drugged by
something given her in that glass of wine. She
has caused the arrest Of the man, and is about
to become mother. The affair has caused great
excitement, as the parties are most reputably
connected. There is difference of opinion as
to the probabilities of her story.

fourth and fifth at the three crossings of Sweet
Water, in a most pitiable condition. Fifteen

hard frozen the only mode of burial that could
be resorted to was to lay the bodies in heap
and pile over them willows and stones. The
great majority of the trains were composed of
English few Danes, Scotch and Swedes.

Washington, Jan. %.
Mr. Buchanan overshadows everything. The
Cabinet members are in state of great excite

nothing. It seems, however, to be generally
understood that Gen. Cass, who was shaking in

now definitely laid upon a shelf. The 'ancent
mariner out efthe way, the material danger
remaining 10 Mr. Buchanan is the appointment
to his Cabinet OF any of those men known as in
tlisuing aspirants for the succession. Among
these are Douglas and Bright, of the Northwest,
and Hunter, Cobb, jeff Davis and others, Of the
South. Such men in the Cabinet, will OF course
lay their pipe and work their intrigues for the
next Democratic nomination, even to the un-
dermng and blowing up of the administration
if necessary. Great efforts, however, are being
made, among the different cliques, to put HIM.

good deal of intriguing carried on just now
Some of the politicians already begin to look
blue. They are evidently not carrying their

against them-they do not get, as they expee-

MANNERS, MALE AND FEMALE-Who can tell
why women are expected OH pain of censnre
and avoidance to conform to high standard of
behavior while men are INDUCED in another o
great deal lower? We never could fully I'M
derstand, why men should be tolerated in the
chewing Of tobacco, in smoking and splitting
everywhere almost and at all times, whereas a
woman cannot do any of those things without
exciting aversion and disgust. Why ought a
man be allowedly SO self jndulgent, putting his
limbs and person in all manner of attitudes,
however uncouth and distasteful, merely because
such vulgarites yield him temporary ease,
while woman is always required to preserve
an attitude, if not OF positive grace, at least of
decency and propriety, from which if she de-
parts, though but for an instant she torfeits re-

much in the style of an animal, not .endowe d
with reason, while woman similarly suffering
must bear it in silence AID dccOruTn? Why
should men as class habitually, and as a mat
ter OF right, boldly wear the coarsest qualities
of human nature on the outside, and swear, and
crowd and fight and brutify themselves SO that
they are obliged to be put into separate pens in
the cars on railroads. and at the depots, while
women must appear with an agreeable counter.
ance if not in smiles, even when the heart aches
and are expected to permit nothing ill-tempered,
disagreeable or even unhappy to appear out

others?
There are few suggestions only among many

thus held up before them, they cannot avoid OBJ
