The Proposed Great Bridge Over the
o., Lower Hudson. .e....

The proposed suspension bridge across
the Lower Hudson will stretch across the
river from Fort Clinton to Anthony Nose,
with one clear span of /, SOC feet, suspended
from stone towers of sufficient height to
give it an elevation of 155 feet above high
water mark Including approaches, the
total length of the bridge will be 2, 499 feet.
The entire structure viii be composed of
steel combination truss and cable-work.
There will be four systems of twenty cables,
linked or rooted deeply into the rock and
abutments of the towers. Each cable will
be about fourteen inches in diameter, inter-
laced and secured by innumerable other
and smaller cables. The cables will con-
tain 81, ,165, $50 feet, or 7O,902 miles of
steel wire.
The total weight of iron and steelin the
bridge will be about 1900 tons, and the
total suspended weight viii be 1851 tons.
The total measurement of masonry will be
So. .O84 cubic yards 1t is calculated that
this bridge could safely support train
drawn by sixty locomotives, or more than
six times the weight that can ever be
crowded upon it at once. A large number
of railroads are to be consolidated In the
enterprise, among which are the Hudson
River, the Boston, Hartford and Erie, the
Midland, the Delaware and Lackswanna,
the Harlem, the Danbury and Norwalk, the
Nav York and New Haven, Hartford,
Sprincfeld, Connecticut Valley and others,
with al their tributaries. As route from
the great west and Pennsylvania coal fields
to the north and east, the bridge Is one ot
the most important engineering enterprises
ever attempted in the vicinity OF New
York .F

The Cherokee Rose.

The legend of the Cherokee rose is as
pretty as the flower itself An Indian chief
of the Seminole tribe was taken prisoner
by his enemies, the Cherokees, and doomed
te torture, but fell so seriously Ill that 1t
became necessary to wait for his restora-
ton to health before committing him to
the fire. And as he lay prostrated by dis
ease in the cabin of the Cherokee Yarr1or,
the daughter of the latter, young dark
faced maid, was his nurse. She fell In love
with the young chieftain, and wishing to
save his life, urged him to escape; but
he would not do so unless she would hee
with him. She consented. Yet before they
had gone far, impelled by soft regret at
leaving home, she asked permission of her
lover to return, for the purpose OF bearing
away some memento of it. So, retracing
her footsteps, she broke sprig from the
white rose which climbed up the poles OF
her fathers tent, and, preserving 1t during
her flight through the wilderness, planted
il by the door of her new home IN the land
of the Seminoles. And from that day this
beautiful flower has always been known be-
tween the capes of Florida and throughout
the Southern States by the name OF the
Cherokee rose

TRICHINA.
II Kills, Four Persons I'm Ballard
County, KY.

County, NY
-Four persons were killed by eating meat
in which there were trichina In Ballard
county last week. The stomach of one OF
them has been sent to this city for exarnln-
alton. The facts of the case are about as
follows: The victims were German family
by the name of Heydaker. 1t seems ham
was purchased, of which MIR. and Mrs.
Heydaker and two of the children ate con-
siderable quantities in raw state
Soon after Ar. Heydaker was taken
sick. and Dr., j. S. Sea was called
in. The doctor did not at first discover
anything alarming about the symptoms,
but the patient grew worse, until Wsdnes-
day evening, when he died. In the mean
time Mrs Heydaker became III with similar
symptoms Drs. Jewett and Smith were
called in for consultation, but none OF them
were familiar with the symptoms, nor
could they afford relief. On Friday Mrs
Heydaker died, and on Saturday the two
little children who had eaten the pork died
a similar death to that which had taken
away the father and mother.
Thus four persons in all were poisoned
bv the one fatal meal The two children
a girl and boy-were aged respectively
about seven and two years old. One little
girl of an intermediate age-probably
about five years old-who did not eat the
meat, had not been taken sick at last ac-
counts. ta-Ha g'
From all the circumstances attending the
deaths, the physicians are of the opinion
that they were occasioned by trichina.
The pork which it is supposed contained
the triehina was raised in Ballard county
and cured in the usual manner. .-LOuiSUiLte

ssA TbankIess Child. ("

A correspondent of the Washington
Chronicle, writing from Parkersburg, West
Virginia. tells this lam sntable story about
an old German woman he met in the cars:
itHer son, who resides in Portsmouth,
sent for her to come to America, and eight
weeks ago she arrived. But his wife did
not like her; she wastoo old (seventy-four)
and her hands too rough; and now he had
sent her back, alone, with no provisions for
her comfort or passage, except tickets
through to N. Y, and the following words,
written on some old business card: please
direct the bearer of this, an old woman,
to the proper Office to get to New York,
and there to 68 Broadway street, to the
General Agency of the North-G German
Lloyd, the General Agent This was with
out signature. As it was written in Eng
Iish. Of which she understood nothing, she
had no doubt that it was all that was nee
essaryito get her safely back to Germany.
But still she was almost heartbroken, for
she had ne home now even in tFaderland,
as she had sold her little all, which she
had spent wears 10 collect, and given S240,
all that was left when she got to Ports
mouth, to her son. Now sne was sent
back without her trunk even, with only five
dollars in her pocket, and no means of
getting further than New York. All
that could be. done. for the poor wo-
mans comfort on the cars was done,
and she stayed over night at Parkersburg.
s'The next day several prominent citi-
zens of Portsmouth took her case in hand,
and she was taken to comfortable quarters.
They know of her son, and confirm the
old lady's story that he is well of, and they
are determined he shall do what is right
for his poor old mother.
"When Mr.. DeBarr read the writing on
the card, and told her what it was, she
could scarcely believe it; and when at
length she comprehended it, the mothers

Killed hr Wild Parsnips.

We find in our state exchanges frequent
mention of serious sickness from eating
wild parsnips. So far we have heard of but
two persons dying from its effects. The
first was Mr.. E. NJ. Mulford, of Buchanan
county. On the 9th instant, while at work
in his garden, which had not been cultl-
waited for two years past, he pulled up some
parsnip, of which he ate; and thinking 1t
quite desirable, gathered = quantity of it
and washed it at the well; then calling his
wife, said that he had gathered her fine
lot of parsnips, OF which he had been eat
inc. She informed him that il was deadly
noison. Emetics were Immediately admin
istered. but were of no effect, He was
seized with commissions, and in less than
two hours from the time when ne took the
deadly poison from his garden, he lay q
corpse in his own dwelling.
The other case is thus related by the up
per Des Moines, of Kossuth county: I'm
Sunday the 10th instant, two little boys,
sons of Christian Hackman and Fred. Klus,

opposite side. Presently one lady gets

close behind me. Not taking any notice
of him at the moment, ! went on till I came

newly found companion followed me in,
and then STOOD patiently locking up into
my face, as much as to say: 81 think you
have got something for nae. j thought he
was rather funny fellow, but my friend
the shopkeeper knew him directly, and
called out: 'sWhat, Bob, begging again."
/ soon found out what he was begging for;
ms friend told me that he had got q mis-
sionary box, and that he went up to every
stranger who came into the town for PEN

".Bob was SO successful last year, that
when his box was opened it was found to
contain no less than eighteen shIllings, all
collected by himself. I gave him apenny,
which he took in his month, and with q
nod of his head, which 1 suppose was his
way of saying ''Thank you, " he trotted Oh,
wagging his bushy tail as if pleased-as
dare say he was-that he had secured an
other penny Tor his missionary Oo1.
"'But Bob, like all Of rs who Try to be
good and to do good, was liable to tsmpts-
ton.
"'We must see him past the bakers
shop said my friend, 'or the penny may
go to the wrong place. ..1i .ve .5g-.' g
&c Now, it appears that Bob, besides be-
ing fond of the missionary box, Is also fond
of biscuits; and, I am sorry to say, he has
sometimes been known to spend the penny,
instead of taking it straight home. So We
watched him along the street. when all st
once, Just opposite the bakers shop. he
stopped short, and seemed IS If thinking
whether be should go past or not 1E I-.g
However, we called after him, Go

he went, as though he had got over the

dropped the penny into his missionary
box" -...........
