to twist them together. The iron-sad-

on the tops of the piers, are now ready,
and weigh nine tons each. qrog 1ais
The span of the bridge is 1867 feet,

Justice Coming Homo.

Students at the United States Naval
Academies are not permitted to marry,
but some time since, before the Naval
School was removed from Annapolis,
an amorous cadet, unwilling to defer
his happiness til. the receipt ofrhis
commission, ventured upon a private
marriage with a young beauty of the
place. Nothing remained but to keep
the secret. The preacher knew moth
ing of this, how ever, and cnrsorily let
the mouse out Of the trap, so that an
old professor, who disliked cadets be-
cause they bcsieged in squads certain
pretty daughter he had, asccrtained
fact without ascertaining but one of the
names, and he comrt-martialed the ca
Diet Immediately. Despite the personal
entreaties of the youth, the case was
brought mp. lie acknowledged the
fact, plead guilty and fell back upon
the mercy of the court. The old pros
fessor aforesaid sternly objected; he
stood upon law and good policy, and
called for the lads dismissal
"You will take the bread out Of my
wife's month, y said the cadet. allnI
tI don't care" said the professor, eff

urged the cadet 'ncNsaNN 'e'''

the criminal;. it is YOU" ~
"My wife is your daughterj" ds.
The old gentleman was overwhelmed
with rage and shame. The court, act
ing upon his suggestion, and partly
with sly malice, struck the cadets
name from the rolls. So the old gen.
teman had to pay, for time, the ex-
penses of both daughter and son-in-law.
The lad got back in the navy during
the rebellion and rendered a good ac.
count of himself. m3g ,lg.w isai ii'7ie'

There is no one more fond ofa sly

the way, is invariably an evidence OF
kind, genial heart. } h.oA 200
fg While almost q stranger at West
Point, Cadet Granger was one day
called upon in class to sketch upon
the blackboard map Of New York
State. He advanced to the board and
drew tolerably correct boundary lines,
ohalked out the course of the principal
rivers, railways, canals, &c, made
pretty good sized square in one corner,
showing the location of New York city
with smaller squares for Albany and
other second rate towns, but away up.

Ontario, he skctched an immense city,
Every one was amused at the supposed
blunder, and, finally, the Professor
