olers to the Mecca OF Oildom can testify
to their sorrow. Its queer phases Of life,
its lul;crOus and its sorrow!ul incidents,

The Bridge Across the Ohio.

The Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday
last in an article on the Cincinnati and
Covington bridge, states that in about
two weeks foot bridge, for the work.
men onIy y, will be thrown across tho
river, on wire.ropes, and about ono
month from that time workmen will
commence stretching the wires for the
main cable. They are receiving wires
for the latter as fast as possible. Tho
main bridge will be suspended on two
wire cables, each of which will be thir-
teen in ches in diameter. The cables
will be made by stretching one wire
across at time, until the whole num-
Der required are in proper place, and
then machines will be brought into re.
QUESTION to twist them together. The
iron saddle places, in which the cables
will rest on the tops of the piers, arc
now ready and weigh nins tons
each.
The span Of the bridge is one thou.
sand and fifty-seven feet; being about
two hundred feet longer than the Nj.
agara Suspension Bridge, and longer
than any suspensian bridge in the
world. About five hundred tons of
wire will be used in constructing it
The distance from the foundation to tho
top of the piers is two hundred feet, and
from the foOr of the bridge to the top
of the piers one Kindred and ten feet
The floor Of the bridge. when the river
is at its present stage, will be ninety feet
from the water and will be ten feet
higher in the centre than at either
pier. The latter are built of solid ma
sonry, and measure at the foundation
one hundred and fifty feet, decreasing
until reaching the top where the meas.
urement is seventy by thirty. six feet.
As many workmcn as can be used are
employed, but not withStanding all this
the bridge will not be ready for public
transit short Of one year. The spans
from the spicrs to the anchorage, are
one thousand two hundred and eighty
feet.
