THE RAILROAD BRIDGE We had the
pleasure, yesterday, of meeting j. H.
Linville, OF Philadelphia, President Of
the Keystone Bridge Company, and j
S. Smith, Eco, of Keokuk, iowa
civil engineer. These gentlemen are
here on matters connected with the
Wheeling and Ohio Union Railroad
Company's proposed bridge across the
Ohio river at the head OF the Island
They passed the greater part Of the
afternoon in examining the proposed
site for the bridge, the river current and
channel, and such other matters as are
necessary for an intelligent estimate Of
the practicability and cost Of the pro-
posed bridge. They seem to think the
erection of a railroad bridge across the
river at this point one OF the grandest
strides Wheeling can make for future
greatness.

FATALITY.-About two months ago
South Wheeling citizen dreamed that
his only son, a bright little boy. was
scalded to death. The dream had a
very deep effect on him, and he was
very careful to remove everything that
could possibly make the dream come
true. Strange to tell, however just five
weeks afterwards, the s,me little boy
was run over by an express wagon al
he was crossing the street, and was
picked up-uninj nred.

RIVER NEws.-Ths river is very thin.
the marks here showing but three feet
in the channel and stationary. We
think it is,stationary, because there is
no more water to run out.
The New State and Science have both
had cow-catchers placed on their bows.
They 20 on wheels, now, but they keep
going. The report that they carry
water sprinklers to keep down the dust
in the river is not entirely reliable. we
think. The statement must be verified
before we are willing to place unlimited
confidence in II. ,.......
Testing aside, the low water boats are
doing an immense business. They are
crowded with passengers every trip.
The New State brought up It's psssen.
gers on her last trip. and when she went
out yesterday morning she looked as il
she was taking away an excursion
party. The same is true Of the Sci,
erce. They have monopoly OF busi-
ness now, being the only packets run
ing to points below.
The Kate Putnam left Cincinnati on
Monday night for Wheeling, with big
trip for the water. We doubt her
ability to get through, though we GER
tainly hope che can make it She
seems determined to give it String
try" anyhow.
Last Monday morning, about three
o'clock, the tow-boat Abe Mcdonald
ran over a raft of hewed timber, Lear
the foot of Sandy Bar, aud drowned one
of the three men who were on the raft
at the time the boat struck it; the
other two made a Harrow escape. The
Rsvenswood, (West Va.,) Ne,os says
1T is stated that the sad accident was
the result OF carelessness on the part, o.
the officers OF the boat, as the raftsmen
had out a signal light at the time. We
have been informed that the gentleman
drowned was Mr.. Wells, from the
upper part of this county; his body was
found Monday evening and taken to mis-
friends"

ATTACKED AGA,N.-Sone time ago
Frederick Rothermund, a p'asterer, re-
siding in the Eighth ward, was sent to
Weston as a lunstic. After remaining
there until last week he was discharged
as cured. On Sunday night he was
attacked again. So violent was his
psroxysm on Monday evening that it
was absolutely unsafe for any one to be
near him. He broke up his furniture
and attempted to kill his vile. Yesterday
Squire Johnston issued the
necessary papers and Rothermuud was
lodged in Jail to await the time when he
be returned to the asylum.

SENT TO JAIL.-Oa Monday night
William Carney was arrested by officer
Newton Tracey and taken before Squire
Launder, on a warrant issued at the in
stance Of man named Fox. 1t is
said that Carney has been acting very
strangely lately, and is not safe man
to be about. For his assault on Fox
he was held in the sum of 5000 to an
swer before the Circuit Court and in
default he was sent to jail.

POLICE CouRr.-Yesterdays session
oftbe Police Court brought before His
Honor Judge Good, and old time
paloot who has long been recreaut and
absent from dress parade and also q
name distinguished in wars devasta-
ton and peace's accumulation.
The first artist alluded to above Is the
Gentle Gooseberry! For months I'VE
have met but we have missed him.
No matter how many bensinists ap-
reared to have Judge Good shake
their bush" no G ooseberry drapped into
the municipal lap. The reason is OBJ
vious, Gooseberry Was not here. He
WAS lover the hills and far away"
digging coal in St. Clairsville. But we
all know that Goosebetry wasn't green
enough TO stay away always. We
thought be was only getting ripe for a
spree and would return to Wheeling
beuziue electrified and tempered with
strychine and, OF course, to the Gala
boose. So be did. the Gentle g. came
to the city on Monday and before night
let her sable mantle down and pinned 1t
with a star, G. G. was reposing on the
soft side Of a plank 10 the calaboose.
81 aud costs was the penalty. Lacking
the requisite amount Of filthy lucre he
received a ticket to the geological
academy Of Prot. Price. where for ten
day. he will mediate on law and its
uses.
The distinguished name alluded to ls
Grant. 1t was not the great gltt-taker
who appeared when the name was call
cd. We wish this distinctly under
stood now, because We do not desire to
have to make the correction tomorrow
II is understood, then, that it was not L
S. Grant, but David. another and diff
ferent member of that family. David
is a man and brother who got jolly
drunk on Sunday night, and made a
judy Fitzsimmons OF himself. He was
fined 81 and costs. Paid.
Evan Williams offense was a plain
drunk. lie was picked up on Fifth
street, near Hampden, on Monday a.
ternoon as full as he could be filled and
not slop over. 81 and costs. Paid.

CARELESS DRIVING. "A man, whose
name no one could understand, was

afternoon about four o'clock. We hear
that the boy was badly injured.

and striking post, was violently
thrown against Bell, jamming him
against another car going the other

Handel.

Handel was one of the most hu.
morous of mortRls, and at the same
time one OF the most irritable. His
best Jokes were perpetr8ted frequently
during his most violent bursts of pas
sion.
Having occasion to bring out one of
his oratorios in q provincial town In
England, he began to look about for
such material to complete his orchestra
and chorus as the place might afford.
Gne sni ANOTHER was recommended,
as usual, as Reing Q splendid singer, .
great player, and SO 6n. After ? while
such ss were collectable were gathered
together In Q rooM, and after preliml.
naries, Handel made his appearance,
putting, both arms full of mahuscripts.
t.Gentlemsn," guoth he, " YOU all read
manuscripts an Z Yes, yea" respond
ed from all parts of the room.v 1--WE
play in church," added an old man
behind q yiolincello. "Very well |;
play dis" said Handel, distributing
the parts.
This done, an q few explanations
delivered, Handel retired to distant
part of the room to enjoy the effect.
The stumbling, fumbling, and blum
dering part that ensued is said to have
been indescribable. Handel's sensitive
ear and impetuous spirit could not
long brook the insult, and clapping
his hands to his ears, he ran to the
old gentleman with the violincello,
And shaking his fist furiously at the
terrified man and the instrument
said: You blay in de church very
1e.s Tts ty 5ne s g .asssa

transgression and sin; you shall biay

How LEATHERIs MADE.-Everybody
knows, we presume, that leather is
made by sleeping hides in an infusion
of certain vegetable substances which
contain a compound called tannisa
The cheapest source of this tanning
principle is oak bark, but it is found in
greater or less quantity in many other
plants, as in the grape, the hop. coffee,
tea, ETC., and from thsse it can be dis
solved out with water. The skins of
animals consist mainly of albumen and
geletine; indeed these substances are
abundant in all animal matter. In the
blood and in milk the albumen is
merely suspended, as it we're, in the
water which constituted by far the
larger portion OF these fluids. Tannin
and albumen have q remarkable affinity
for each other, and unite as soon as
they are'brought in contact. The re-
suit of their union is the insoluble.
rough material which gives leather its
distinctive character. When the hide
is stepped in the infusion of oak bark,
and the albumen of the former thus
combines with the tannin of the latter,
and the loose, soft tissue of the skin is
converted into hard, tough leather

Most Tyrannical Imposition.

A writer from the African diamond
fields says he attended dance where
he saw sign which read mo gentle
man allowed without pants" No
wonder the people of that region de-
sired to free themselves from the yoke
of their African OppressOrs and to en-
joy the freedom of British rule! These
accursed restrictions upon personal
freedom are but the wantOn manifest
ations of the power of tyrants who
have no respect for the rights of man.
Why should agentleman wear pants?
Julius C@sar was a gentleman, and
he never stopped to such folly. Arta-
xerxes was the equal of any African
tyrant that ever lived, and he never
wore pants. Christopher Columbus
regarded trowsers with ineffable
scOrn, and, when we offered to lend
him pair of ours to attend the recep-
ton given him when he first arrived
in this country, he gazed Indignantly
at his legs, and asked us if there was
any use of attempting to hide such
limbs as those from the public eye.
General Washington never wore
pants, excepting upon the occasions
when he was out ef bed and neither
did Thomas o Kempis. So this fas-
tidiousness on the part of these Afri-
can despOts over there seems some-
what ridiculous. If Thomas q Kem-
pis never wore pants when ne went
to church, it is preposterous for an
Ethiopian pagan to compel white
men to fix up in that manner for q
mere ball.
