Napo!eon's rcma.!, that the vices are the
best supporters Of government seems 10 find
substaniiaiian in the Tepor: Of the British
Revenue Commissioners for 1869. From
this it appears that the inland duties and
licenses derived from the sale Of mali and
spiri:uous liquors i'm Great Britain for that
year amounted To nineteen millions sterling
or nlnety-iiye millions Of dollars-a sum
equal 10 nine-twentie!hs %. the entire inland
revenue Of the kingdom. ltwould appear,
too, tina. the consumption CT liquor in Great
Britain is vastly more, per capita, Than in
this country. Special Commissioner We!les
estimates that in 1857 the amount Of money
paid by the people TO retail. liquor dealers in
the United States was one hundred and sixty
millions of dollars. When it is taken into
consideration tina. in Great Britain, no,wi.h-
standing the high rate of duty and license,
liquors are reiaile'l at less than one half
their cost in this country, and that the entire
receipts of the retailers here are less than
double the amount paid for duty and license
in Great Britain, il will be seen that Ameri-
cans are less frequent in their libations than
their cousins across the water. The liquor
traffic would be source Of great profit to the
government if it did not take nearly every
dollar derived from it to suppress and pun
ISL the crimes TO which it gives rise.

bargain with the detective has transpired in

worth $50, 600, and the probability is tia. a
sympathetic jury will give her s25,O"0. OF
course the victim has no remedy, ii sugh the
maiden lady is deliberate anu convicted
swindler. The law does not recognize the
comparative value OF different articles of

that he has been indiscree,. And it makes

Why the Bridge Co,umn. Crack

The Chicago Railnay Rerie. has ,he fol-
lowing interesting article, explaining Why the
iron columns OF the Council Bluffs and Oma-
ha bridge are cracked by the fros., while the
columns Of the LeavenwOrth bridge are not al.
fected. The Rerisw says:
We notice, with regret, that an altogether
exaggerated importance is attached, by wri.
tiers in several Western papers, TO the fact
that in one or two instances sections of the
iron tube enclosing the masonry forming the
piers Of the Union Pacific Railway bridge
between Council Bluffs and Omaha have
cracked. The crack is Notwithstanding
in one instance, We believe. through portion
Of two sections Of the tube.
We said that the importance Of the tissure
had been exaggerated. In point Of fact, no
serious importance whatever attaches to it.
We should suppose that everybody who reads
the journals Of the day-every writer for
their editorial columns must by this time
understand the place of the pneumatic tube
in the economy of bridge building on this
plan. Its main object is simply to facilitate
construction. 1t forms q protecting wall
within which work is carried on, and
by which the sinking Of the true pier is
rendered possible and facilitated. The
stone column filling it alone supports the
superstructure of the bridge. The cap sur
mounting the stone pier, rests wholly on the
pier, and does net touch the upper edge Of
the tube at any point. The tube sustains no
weight whatever, but il itself kept in place
by the solid pier (resting firm in the bottom
rock of the river which it encloses. The
stone pier, once completed, the tute-now a
mere sheath-might be removed without
vitiating the integrity Of the substructure. 1t
would re flimsey bridge which should de-
pend for its foundation on an iron Tube, less
than one inch in thickness. That would
have quite enough to do to stand alone in
the mighty volume and impe.uous current
Of the Missouri, without bearing any relation
to the security of solid stone column.
In point of fact, but few Of the sections
have cracked; more may do so; and il all
should, still the bridge would be intact in all
its essential parts We do not say that it
would not look better for the tube sheathing
to remain whole indeed, We believe that Mr..
Boomer (who has not, nor has his Company,
superintendent the erection of the Omaha
piers, the railway company having taken
that in hand in the Leavenworth bridge
puts in an inner lining of sheet iron close to
the inner surface of the tube, bel, re thsma.
sonry forming the column proper, is laid.
This leaves space sufficient between the stone
pier and its iron sheath to give the latter
space for contraction under the lowest tenn
perature.
1t is, Of course, understood that the crack
ing Of the tube is due to contraction around
the unyielding body Of the enclosed pier.
