BEAUTIES OF CHINESE BRID0Es.-
Some of the bridges in China are of ex-
traordinary beauty and magnifcence.
There is one near Pekin built entirely Of
white marble, elaborately ornamented.
Others are found over the canals of still
greater magnifcenco, and with a grand
trlumphal arch at each end, and some,
instead Of being built with arches, are
fiat from one side of the canal TO the other,
marble slabs of great length being laid
on piers so narrow and airy that the
bridge looks as il II were suspended in
the air. From the amazing facilities af-
forded by the numerous canals for trans
portation of goods by water, these bridges
do not require to be built of great strength
for only foot passengers use the bridges,
which is the reason they are of such ele-
CANT and faneiful construction. These
bridges are built with number of arches
the central arch being about forty feet
wide and high enough for vessels to pass
without striking their masts. The great
elevation Of those bridges renders stops
necessary. They resemble, in this re-
spect, the old bridges of Venice, ON which
you ascend by steps on one side, and de-
scend on the other in the same way.
Chain bridges were not made in this
country for more than eighteen centuries
after they were known in China.

A REMARKABLE YOUNG LADY.-In
San Francisco recently, when Third st.
was crowded with pedestrians either on
business or pleasure bent, an exciting
scene was enacted on that thoroughfare
between Mission and Mnna streets. The
scene of the excitement was in the estab-
lishment Of fashionable milliner, who
has in her employ score or less OF
young women, among whom are some
beauties. The proprietress conceived tho
happy idea of getting up a living breath
ing, sensational advertisement for her
wares, and right royalty did she succeed.
Selecting her most charming, bewitching
journeywoman, she dressed her in rich
and gorgeous array from the choicest
specimens In her extensive rooms and,
to crown the work, placed on the extreme
apex Of the carefully manipulated hair,
one OF those hats SO much admired every
where, save in the theaters. Thus fixed,
the young lady was put in the window as
milliner's sign. Still as statue stood
the admired Of oil passers but soon tho
tramp ceased, and the half dozens in
creased to hundreds, and they to thous-
ands, until the street was blockaded
from Mission to Howard. 1t was impos-
sible to make way, as locomotion was so
efiectually impeded. The throng swayed
to and fro, pushing, crowding and elbow
ing their way, in an effort to sec the liv-
ing statue, who stood in the window as
immovable as If chiseled from marble
Thus ii continued for two hours, when
the curtain dropped and she was relieved.
There are various versions as to what
brought about the curious idea, some al
leging that the mistress of the store did it
to advertise her place the more attract
lively, while others say it was a girlish
freak Of the young lady to win wager
that she would not attempt the ordeal of
becoming an object Of the gaze OF tho
thousands who would gather before her.

APPETITE.-At certain seasons, as in
Spring and Summer, the appetite of even
the very robust is apt to fail, and the
relish for meats and heavy food to wane.
This is all right enough, for animal diet
in warm weather heats the blood, tends
to headaches, and is generally unwhole-
some unless sparingly used. On the 9TH
er hand, fresh vegetables, berries, fruit
and bread are cooling, corrective, and
what the palate most Graves. Don't be
afraid to go without meat for month or
so, and if you like, live purely on vege-
table regimen. We will warrant that
you will lose no more strength than is
common to the time, and that you will
not suffer from protracted heat, rs when
dining on the regulation roast.
Many persons regard a hearty desire
for food as something unrefned, indeli-
cate, and to be constantly discouraged.
This is a greater and more harmful mis-
take than that of coaxing the appetite.
1t is just as necessary for the man who
works only with his brain to eat beef and
mutton as for the man who labors solely
with his hands. The stomach and the
brain are twins, the former being the
elder, and having prior right to care.
Let that be we'll provided for, and it will
sustain its brother. The people who
strive to check wholesome and natural
appetite are the people who regard dinner
merely as q feed, not the center of an
agreeable social custom, and as the do
mestic event of the day. We are sorry
for them, as they must regard eating as
a prosaic duty, obligatory on them be-
cause they have bias in favor of living.
We all know that we must eat to live,
but we by no means live to eat, simply
because we enjoy what we eat. We are
not gourmands because we relish chops,
nor are we invalids because we want
strawberries. A good appetite is a good
thing, but it is not to be worried by urg
ing or by neglect. -tScrtbner for August.

CLEARLY CRAZY. - The New York
Tribune speaks rather pointedly when it
says "a very touching case of mental
alienation in q very charming young lady
is described by a careful observer. Not
long ago her mother found her in her
room energetically darning stockings,
and soon after she appeared in the kitchen
and helped that wondering dame in max
ing and baking bread and pastry. Alarm
ed by these fearful signs of intellectual
disorder, her fond parents Immediately
sent for a skillful physician, who watched
her through keyhole while she sewed
buttons on her fathers garments and
mended those of her little brother. Much
affected, the venerable man remarked
that never during medical practice of
twenty five years had he known any
symptoms as these. The most heartrend-
ing phase of all, however, was shown the
other day, when the kind father, with a
faint hope Of rousing her from her sad
state, gave her $500 and told her to buy a
new dress. Alas! twas useless. She
inatantly observed that she didn't need
new dress, and if he would give her $25
dollars to pay poor widows rent, she'd
much rather he'd take the rest of the
money for himself. For few moments
that grief stricken old gentleman gazed
upon his hapless child, then hiding his
face, muttered between his sobs, Her
mind is gone her mind is gone I! "

And though clouds may often float o'er yor
And often tempests and rain,
Be fearless of storms which o'ertake you,
Push forward through all like man,
Good fortune will never forsake you,
lfyou do as near right as you can.
Remember, the will to do rightly,
If used, will the evil confound;
Live daily by conscience, that nightly
Your sleep may be peaceful and sound.
In the strict path of duty ne'er wayer,
Let honesty shape every plan,
And life will of Paradise SAVIOR,
If you do as near right as you can.
Though foes darkest scandal may speed,
And strive with the shrewdest of fact
To injure your name, never heed,
But justly and honestly act;
And ask of the Ruler of Heaven

SAN FRANCISCO LETTER.
[FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE ]
SAN Francisco, Aug. 5, 1873.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 8, 1873.
DEAR JOURNAL We are approach
ing heated term in politics, in fact the
atmosphere is already rather tropical and
things are wonderfully mixed. The Tax
Payers can't get Mayor yet, and unless
they put up tirst-class candidate McDon-
aid will make the trip. They now talk
of James Otis, James Irvine and A. S.
Halladie, the wire rope and cable maker,
but it is not known if either can be NOM
mated. There has been singular dis
position shown on all sides to keep the
doings of conventions secret. 1t don't
have good look, and the unwashed,
unterrifed of all parties object to it as
anti American. The Republicans will
not make municipal nominations till the
Tax Payers shall have shown their hand
on Legislative ticket. When all the
nominations are made, the real sport
of the campaign will begin and things
will be lively. There will be q heavy
fight on Supervisors, as a new Ring will
have to be constructed and Billy Carr
wants to do most of the hammering and
welding. A whole lot of most impecu-
nious lawyers desire to be made Justices
of the Peace, and they are quite busy
telling people how talented they are, how
learned in the law, how splenddly adapted
by nature and education to adorn the
Bench. In what way the world has wor-
ried along without some of these fellows
for Judges, is matter of surprise. l
had talk with an old gentleman yes
terday, who wants to be Coroner. He
first secured in some unaccountable way
large, white furry hat and ponderous
stick, then he started out to "button-
hole" people and display his natural and
acquired qualifications for that important
Office. Like many other men hunting
for sutfrages, he spoke depreciatively Of
the present incumbent and Of all who
had preceded him, and then placed his
own qualities in shining contrast. He is
no doctor or surgeon, but an old political
hack and wanted some "little thing"
published in his favor. lie would re-
form the office and system entirely, sim
plify it, make it popular institrtion.
He said "See here, if man got shot
through the head | would record it so.
Who cares whether the bullet went thro'
the seer bum or cellar bell urn =
whether it smashed out one bone or
tother, as long as he died from shot? If
a man kills himself drinking too much,
what's the use of cutting him up to find
out what effect the Ticker had on him in
wardly. 1t never was interesting or graf
flying to me to read about 'granulated'
livers and stummicks, with the lining
burned and blistered out" He failed to
convince the Democracy he ought to be
Coroner.
