If your Editors Drawer writes a
correspondent, is not already full, you
may think the inclosed, although an old
story, worthy of being squeezed in.
"Soon after the close Of the American
Revolution, population ofIndian chiefs
having some business to transact with
the Governor, were invited to dine with
some officials in Philadelphia. During
the repast, the eyes Of a young chief were
attracted to a castor Of mustard, having
in it spoon ready for use Tempted by
its bright color. he gently drew it toward
him, and soon had trimming spoonful
in his mouth. Instantly detecting his
mistake, he nevertheless had the fortitude
to swallow it, although it forced the tears
from his eyes.
ga chief sat opposite, at the table who
had observed the consequence, but not
the cause, asked him What lie was cry
ing for? He replied that he was think
ing Of his father, who was killed in bat
tie. Soon after, the questioncr himself,
prompted by curiosity, made the same
experiment, with the same result, and i'll
turn was asked by the young Sachem,
What he was crying for?' Because you
werc not killed ,chen yow father aras,' was
the prompt reply

The CONTEMPLATED RIVER BRlDGE.-We
saw the plan Of the contemplated river
bridge which is. or 10 not to span the Missio-
sippi at this point. The plan is in the
Board of Trade room, and was presented by
E Langworthy, Esq. The plan as exhibit
ed in the sketch consists Of an iron arch
which would span the river, the ends rest
ing on stone buttments. From this arch
the platform Of the bridge is intended to
hang. Underneath the sketch or profile, it
is written that the bridge is proposed to
cross the river at Sth street, and thus cen
meet the Dubuque Western Railroad with
the Illinois Central.
To judge from the profile, We should say
that bridge will never be built, as it would
prevent steamers from below, navigating
the river sbove us. No bridge can ever be
built across the Mississippi at this point
