THE New BRIDGE-The new bridge
that spans the Wapsie at the foot of
Walnut street, is nearly complete. There
has been considerable delay in putting
the finishing touches on this structure,
but there is Il fair prospect now of the
work being brought to close ere many
weeks shall elapse.
1t has been limited that the new bridge
when completed will have a tendency to
attract much business to that quarter of
our city, and there has been consi lera-
bic speculation about the erection Of sun
dry mills aud business blocks in that To-
cality sometime in the dispensations Of
the future We cannot deem this other
than mere moonshine, in the present
status Of things ~ our city Business
will naturally grivitate to where the
most capital is invested, and we are GER
tain the shifting sand banks that sur
round this bridge do not present very
bewitching inducements for an outlay Of
capital for buildings there We admit
there is slight chance for one of Nasby's
grocery stores with its barrel Of whisky
and broken tumbler, but anything
more extensive, would not flourish, we
think.

THE SHow-The Menagerie and Cir
Gus Of which our townsman p. A. Older,
Esq, is proprietor, made its long antici,
pated cntree on Thursday, the long pro.
cession Of cages and baggage wagons
filing through our streets, led by the ex-
cellent band, delighting the Juvenile heart
by suggestions Of sights in anticipation
and fun yet unenjoyed. The huge can
vass was pitched on the west side of the
river, and thither at the time appointed
flocked hundreds of pleasure seekers from
all parts of the county. The crowd was
immense, the day pleasant and the net re-
suit pretty profit in Mr.. older's pocket
and unlimited enjoyment by the crowd.
The only drawback was the fact that
Madame Sanyeah, the beautiful gymnast,
and the feature of the show was unable to
appear, owing to a dislocated shoulder
received by fall from horse in the
ring at Wyoming, Jones county. The
regret and disappointment was general at
this mishap as our people had set their
hearts on seeing the daring and graceful
performances Of this lady. independence
is the last town on the list for the present
season and the establishment goes into
winter quarters in this city.

THE REMOVAL QUESTION

Tuesday evening, the 9Th inst, was
occupied BY the Assembly in brinsin 2

before the House, and crowded cham

posed to convey site for capital and 10
construct one thereon and remove the State
offices thereto free of expense to the State
BE ii enacted, That at the general election

on the conditions prescribed, be submitted
to tie legal voters of the State, the form of

Milwaukee without expense to the State,
tie votes to be counted and canvassed as
other votes, and within ten days aft er the
result is determined it shall be certified to

nation of the fact.
After lively aud animated discus
sion of several hours duration, partici-
pated in by nearly all the leading mem
bers a motion to indefinitely postpone

Col Utley, of the Racine Journal,
gives the woman's rights movement
the following vigorous thrust:
"Of all the mad projects that ever
entered the head Of an American pos
sessing an ordinary amount of what is
called common sense, the project to
draw the American woman into the po-
litical arena, is the most wickedly fool
ish. God only can tell the evils that
will come upon this nation when this
door is open for the women Of America
to step out from under the restrictions
placed upon the sex by the Almighty,
and that modest propriety SO necessary
in forming character for usefulness
to our young !; for it is true the women
have, or might have, the moulding of
the mind Of the nation. They are or
have been the only custodians Of reli-
gion and the morals of the nation du-
ring a great political campaign.
A well ordered, and quiet, happy
home, is the only convenient ark where
these things can be safely kept It is
a foul lie that the women of America are
oppressed, or that the laws are against
them. There is neither truth nor de-
eeucy in the stale trash with which the
country is flooded under the head of
woman rights"

A MOTHER TO HER DAUGHTER OF


MARRIAGE.-You are now, my beIov-
ed child, about TO leave those arms
which have hitherto cherished you.
and direct your every step, and at
length conduct you to safe, happy,
and honorable protection, In the very
bosom Of love and honor. You must
now be no longer the fighty, inconsd-
crate, naughty, passionate girl but
ever, with reverence and delight have
the merit Of Jour husband in view.
Reflect how vast the sum of your obli-
cation to the man who confers upon
you independence, distinction, and,
above all, felicity. Moderate, then, my
beloved child, your private expenses,
and proportion your general expendi-
ture to the standard of his fortune, or
rather his wishes. / fear not that,
with your education and principles, you
can ever forget the more sacred dpsies,
so soon to be your sphere of action.
Remember the solemnity of your VOWS,
the dignity Of your character, the sane
tity of your condition. You are anne
nable to society for yoar example, to
your husband for his honor and happi-
ness, and to Heaven itself for those
itch talents instructed TO your care and
your improvement; and though in the
maze of pleasure Or the whirl of pas,
sion the duties of the heart may be for
gotten, remember my darling child,
there is record which will one day APP
pear in terrible evidence against US for
our last omission.-Aoore's Rural New

LOSS OF TIE ONEIDA.

The following are extracts from a let
ter of Surgeon James Suddards Of the
Oneida to his father, the Rev. William
suddards, D. D., Of Philadelphia. The
letter is dated at Yc kohama, Jan. 81:
We left Yokohama at 5 p. m. on
the 24th, and at 6:45 were run into By
the Bombay on the starboard quarter,
the whole of which was carried away.
She struck us full with her sharp iron
stem and cut everything off as with
chisel The wheel, steering gear,
spaDker boom and gaf, and poop cabin
were all carried away, and in fifteen
minutes the Oneida sank in fourteen
fathoms water, and cut OF a personal of
% officers and $50 men, 4 officers and
81 men are left to tell the tale.
walked aft on the quarter deck, and
saw that everything was smashed to
pieces then looked over the quarter
and saw the extent Of the damage. I
believed then that the ship would go
down in two minutes, and rapidly con-
Guided that every one must look out for
himself. As [ realized the position, I
noticed that the ward-room boat, which
hung at the port quarter, was manned
by twelve or fourteen men.
[ jumped on the rail and asked if an
officer was in the boat. The men said
no; and seeing who I was, they said,
u imp in, Doctor" and, Selling hold
of me, two or three of them dragged
me into the boat.
We arrived, however, all safe at
O CLOCK, On the morning of the 25th.
when [ spread the news and seut down
assistance to the wreck. Tie vessel
was found yesterday, but no bodies as
yet. The English Consular Court is
investigating the matter. All the Off
GERS Of the Bombay have been exam
med; our turn will come to morrow
Mr.. belong, the American Minister,
is conducting the proceedings in our
behalf
l have been very much shattered by
the occurrence and subsequent fatigue,
but am now much better and begin to
feel Ike myself. All Yokohama has
been extremely kind, invitations to stay
at private houses pouring in from all
quarters. The feeling against the
captain of the Bombay for not stopping
is intense, and if the court attempts to
whitewash him violence may be at
tempted.
No vessel that has ever been in the
Eastern waters was SO popular as the
Oneida Even the English officers say
they would much rather the misfortune
had happened to one of their own
vessels Of he twelve officers eating

REPTILES IN 1RELAND.-The story
of Saint Patrick's expulsion of veno-
nous reptiles from Ireland is known to
every one. Some writer's have sup
posed that the tradition should be in
terpreted in a metaphorical sense, and
that the worship ofdemons or of serpents
was abolished by the Saint. In any
case, the fact that the island was free
from these creatures is mentioned BY
several early historians, and a native
Bishop says, in Latin poem of the
ninth century, that in Ireland no "ser-
pent creeps through the grass, and no
frog chatterS in the lakes" This lat
ter phenomenon remained true till the
early part of the eighteeth century.
when Fellow of Trinity College, Dub
lin, imported some frog spawn from
England, and placed it in the d+tches.
Since then. frogs have spread over the
country. Several attempts have also
been made to introduce vipers and 9th
er snakes, but apparently they have not
survived long A species Of lizrd, how
ever, is said to be found il Ireland
The island of Malta claims similar
immunity from reptiles.
