in general s,yle and character It will
resemble the celebrated bridge over
tho Rhine at Coblents, The most
difficult part Of the problem Of build.
ing this will be the piers, which will
be very massive. They are TO be one
hundred aud fifty fCet at the bottom
aud about seventy by thirty at the
top The river bottom is composed
Of shifting sands, below whichis found
the solid rock he'd, on which the piers
must rest The sand TO bo gone
through varies from City to eighty
foot in thickness, so that one Of the
central piers descends through water
aud sand for nearly Que hundred feet.
To add TO the difficulties of ccnstruc.
ton this work must be done between
the periods Of focus and ice, 50 that
the piers may be raised far enough

duished. This will bo accomplished
by an ingenious method which we
havo not space to describe. The cost
Of the bridge aud funnel is estimated
at $4,000, 900 The land used will
probably cost $3.50, 900 more. 1t is
thought that the bridge will be com
pleted in three years, just about the
time when the Atlantic aud the Paci.

The Absurdity of Drinking.

1t has become sort Of popular
almost nstioual-faith that It Ia not
possible to DO ruly happy unless you
drink. Among certain claSses--apd
they are by no means exclusively thc
lowest --driuk is tue beginning and
end Of everything. The very name
Of liquor Is held to be synonymous
with enjoyment, aud the dearer tho
liquor the more II is pri1cd aud GOV.
eied. Yet every man who is not n
downright drunkard, Is we'll aware
that the pleasures Of drinking are,
beyond certain point, a mockery, a
dclusion. aud snare. I put il to
any one who has stood half the night
at bar, or sat half the night in a
club room, drinking, smoking, aud
handying reckless talk, it the eujoy.
mcut OF such an evening, has been
anything Ike that Of few quiet
hours spent at home with a book OF
newspaper The evil influence OF
tavern pleasures on the health is toe
obvious to be denied by any one, aud
the illusory natures of the pleasure,
themselves would be undeniablc also
if the persons who indulge in then
did not deceive themselves and pu
the truth out Of sight.

like to ask you, sir, if you say your
prayers when you come home in thai
ststeP No-you don't. You ar,
ashamed to say them. You postpone
them until you have puryed yourself
your mind, aud your lips by NOR,
sober and rational behavior. Mex
night when you pass the hours quiet
ly at home with book or friend
you feel that you have had real en-

Reaction on the BaCkaotion.

Our distinguished follow citizen
Allen G.. Thurman made a speech at
Mansfield, on Saturday. in which he
besought the faithful TO turn out and
cast their votes for Burns. Said the
eloquent gentleman; "Tho eyes of
the whole State, my, the eyes Of more
than this State, are turned to this
district at this time. They hope that
you will give that intelligent verdict
on next Monday that shall send rs
joicing TO the hearts Of all the De.
mocracy aud conservative people in
this country, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. 1t is the first election
after our State Convention. 1t is the
first election after the great reaction
Of last year. 1t is to decide whether
or not that reaction, that food that
was bearing US toward good govern
ment aud peace, still continues TO
roll, or whether it has been stayed in
its course and we are once more
going back" The eyes of the whole
State, aud more than the State. may
turn again The eyes aforesaid need
not hope any longer that the verdict
will continue to rcll. The reaction
rolls, but it rolls for Beatty And.
