seA.A New York correspondent en-.
lightens the readers Of a contempora :
ry with regard to fashionable we'd

owing to the fashion of making rich
and costly presents To the bride be-
coming SO general, and also the fact
that it IS now expected Of people
accepting an invitation to attend a
wedding that they should bring pres
ents. the number Of regrets" has in.
creased to an alarming extent. To
remedy this state Of things the cus>
tom is being introduced in New York
OF putting at the bottom of invita- ,
tons mo presents will be received

establishment in New York that
makes business Of renting out to
wedding parties silver plated ware

Curious REcoRD.-The La Crosse

record Of a colored man:
Our FRESHMAN Joseph Taylor, who
Is one of the most intelligent and

An Error.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Your correspondent,
Anxious, expresses an error which is
SO common and so important, that |
would iain correct II. He says:
His death (Christ's,) made God
favorable to the whole race of man
kind The Bible teaches that God
Is, and always was, iavorably dis
posed toward us. Had lie been
otherwise, He would never have pro-
vided a Savior for us. 1t says,
God was in Christ reconciling the
world unto himself We pray you,
in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled
unto Sod" See . Cor. 5, 1920
This is what was needed that the
1corld should be reconcited unto God
not that He should be reconciled To
the world. God was all right but
men were wrong, and needed to be
brought into agreement with God.
This truth, taught in many passa>
ges in Gods word, it is important TO
remember. For our idea of Gods
character and disposition towards us
depends upon it MANY think OF
Him Il severe, unkind, wrathfu being
instead OF loving Father, as the
Bible describes Him. Let those who
have thought that Christ's death
made God favorable to us search the
Scriptures, and see whether it teach
es that His death was necessary, that
God might pardon and save men
without weakening the influence OF
his justice or impairing the author
ity Of His government. T.

The Dubuque Bridge.

Monday was the day set tor The
letting of the bridge over the Miss
issippi at this point. There were
eight bids for the approach 10 the
west end, FIVE for tho mason work
and seven for the superstructure.-
The contract fer building the super
structure or iron work was let to the
keystone Bridge Company, Of Pitts,
burgh. Their bid was s275, 900
Other bids ranged from that figure
to $3.50, 900.
The stone work for piers and
abutments was let To Reynolds. Saul
paugh q Co. it is said, tor $240. 600
The approach to the west end oflhe
bridge was let 10 the same parties
for S52, 600.
Both the parties have had cons
siderable experience in their line
The Keystone Bridge Company con-
structed the draw bridge Of the Cleve~
land 4 Toledo Railroad over the Cuya
hoga River. at Cleveland, whose span
is over three hundred feet also over
the Ohio River at Steubenvlle.-
Messrs. Reynolds, Saulpaugh & Co,
have done u good deal OF railroad
work; also the mason work for the
suspension bridge at Minneapolis.
1t will be seen that the whole cost
of the bridge as contracted for is only
500, 600, Inquire much below what
had been anticipated even BY the
most sanguine When bridge was
first talked of, it was supposed it
would cost million and quarter.
then, as the matter became better
understood, the figure was dropped
TO million, and finally 10 eight hun
bred thousand dollars; and but few
had ventured t. estimate it lower.
1t is stipulated in the contract that
the whole work 1hall be done bv the
first OF January next. The draw pier
is contracted to be done by the Isl oi
August and the work east Of by
the same time. The whole Of the
mason work is to be done by the LIST
OF December; also the approach from
the west side; and the whole bridge
by the LIST Of January following
Reynolds, Saulpaugh & Go will
commence work Immediately, and il
is probable the piles will be driven
while the ice is on the river. SO il is
probable work will be lively around
the new bridge for the coming year

s<gr a correspondent of Cincinna
Il paper talking about Dickens, says
that in 1857, when Horace Greeley
was in London, he sent Dickens a
letter of Introduction from New

on II. G., but sent him note. asking
Greeley to drop in upon him, at the
Office Of All the Year Round. whonev

course Greeley never visited him, nor
has he called upon Dickens since his
arrival in America. The same writ

NUMBERING PRosPECTs IN Wis
A large amount OF numbering SUPP
plies is sent from here every day to
the pineries Notwithstanding the in
tense cold. The early fall Of snow
and good state of roads promise a
good numbering season, and there is
great activity among lumbcrmen-
During the last three seasons, snow
has not fallen sufficient for good
sleighing before he 18th or 10Th of
January, and last year good sleigh
ing did not last more than four or
five weeks
The number of men III the woods
this season is smaller than in any
season for four or five years. and the
prospect now il that those who are
engaged in numbering will have a
profitable season of it, if the water in
the Wolf and its branches is sufficient
in the spring. There is now snow
enough for hauling, the roads are in
excellen: condition. and best informs
cd weather profits" sly that we are
to have long winter with comfort
ably cold weather with plenty OF
snow until late III March. AS the
aggregate amount OF logs put in this
winter will be smaller than usual,
the price of lumber will be good. aud
numbering prospects are Colour de
rose OSHKOSH Northeastern
eA. The Nashville (Wis.) Repubh-
can chronicles the greatest activity in
the numbering camps on the
Black. 1t says the snow is only
about four inches in depth making
tolerably good sleighing on smooth
roads, yet far from being enough for
numbering purposes. Owing to the
exceeding dry fall weather, some
fears are entertained that the rise in
the spring will be very small. There
is no water in the swamps. and the /
ground was never known to be so |
dry at this season of the year.
