The New Bridge at Niagara Falls.

One of the chief objects of interest at Niagara
Falls this season is the new suspension bridge,
which is slowly building. This bridge is in
tended only for carriages and foot passengers,
being too light to be available for railroad pur-
poses, and is much more convenient to the town
than the other. On the American side the
towers are within few hundred feet of the
Falls, and the cables are already swung across
to corresponding towers close to the Clifton
House. In some respects this bridge Is more
remarkable than the other. In length it ex-
ceeds it 450 feet, being 1850 feet in the span.
The towers are los feet high, and are built I3b
feet apart. Unlike the heavy stone columns OF
the lower bridge, they are light wooden trestles,
twenty-eight feet square at the base and taper
ing to the top. When finished they will be
rooted and weatherboarded.
The bridge will be sustained by two cables,
which were swung last winter when the ice
filled the river below the Falls. The lower
bridge is sustained by four cables. Those of the
new bridge are composed of seven strands of
twisted steel wire, each measuring two and
three.eighth inches in diameter, which form a
cable about nine inches thick. The ends are
fastened by the new shackles invented by Mr..
Hewlett, OF Niagara, in manner very different
from that formerly adopted. The strands of the
cable are untwisted at the ends, and hang
separately from the tops of the towers Each
Is secured to separate shackle, which looks
something like pulley with a fixed wheel.
These are grooved 80 as TO hold the cable by
means OF friction, Independent of the fastenings
at The ends, it necessary. The shacKles are of
various lengths, SO as to divide the strain as
firmly planted in beds of masonry eighteen feet
square. This will probably hold the weight of
the bridge against any ordinary pressure; and
unless the slight towers are racked and weak
ened by the lateral motion cauted by the
high winds OF the winter season, it will
probably last as long as the other. The
inside measurement OF the bridge will be ten
feet in the clear. As this will barely enable
carriages TO pass each other, ii is a wonder that
an additional two feet were not added when the
cables were swung.
The work OF building the bridge was begun in
May, 1867 and ITS completion was promised
before the close of the present season. 1t should
and doubtless would have been finished before
this had the work been entrusted to a more
competent and practical engineer. Mr.. Samuel
Keeter, a Canadian, has charge of The work;
and perhaps a more iniudiclous choice could
not have been made by the company. A great
deal of time and money have been wasted on
worthless experiments; and instead of costing
$50, 900, as was originally estimated by the en-
! gineer, it has already exceeded that amount
and will cost at least 100000 in gold before it
| is ready for use. But little has been done this
season and its completion will not be possible
under another year at least. An American cor
poration, the Suspension Bridge Company is
building 1t.

books, they are lost in amazement at the utter
poverty and unsoundness OF that branch of our
literature which Is devoted TO the Russian
Empire.
The Spectator adds: 1T would have been as
well II Mr.. Lowth had omitted the last few
pages OF his book. In them hls evil genius mad
prompted him to speak about Russian literature,
unWary tourist. Some of his Russian friends
were talking on the subject one evening, and he
has gathered upthe scraps of their conversation.
According to him one of them made the sage
remark that there are writers of fiction in
Russia besides the hstorcals Keranzin and
Solovief,' aud strongly recommended him to
read "a work by Pouchkine called "A Society OF
Gentlefoks In the Couhtry,' which made quite
sensation in Russian society when it appeared,
about five or six years ago. This is equivalent
to making an Englishmau advise a Russian
visitor to read sir Walter Scotps story called
Barchester Towers Pouchklne died about 30
years ago, and the book referred to Is Tour
gueniets charming story, the 'Dvoryanskoe
GnYezdo.' Mr.. Lowth continues:-I had not
then read the story mentioned. Various other
authors were Notwithstanding, Rriloff and
Grlboyedof. All this was only further proof of
the growing sentiment of nationality among the
Russian people-of a growing appreciation of
native TALENT Any one might fairly imagine
that all the authors named in this sentence had
sprung into repute within the last two or three
years, the fact being that Grboyedof was mur.
dered at Teheran in 1929, and Krilof's death took
place in 1874 Still more singular than this lite
rary criticism is the remark that "a national
drama and national music are taking their
place as parts OF the great social life of the coun
try Mr.. Lowth seems to have heard Glinka's
opera, "A Life for the Czar about which every
tourist for many year past has had his say, and
TO nave tanclcd 1T was new work.
