Beauty of Chinese Bridges.

Some of the bridges in China are of
extraordinary beauty and magnii
cence. There is one near Pekin built
entirely of white marble, elaborately
ornanented Others are found over
the canals Of still greater magnifcence,
and with grand triumphal arch at
each end; and some instead of being
built with aaches, are fiat from one
side of the canal to the other marble
flags of great length laid on piers so
narrow and airy that the bridge looks
as if it was suspended in the air
From the amazing facilities afforded
by the numerous canals for transpor-
tation by water, these bridges do
not require to be built of great length,
for only foot passengers use the bridg
es, which is the reason they are Of
such an elegant and fanciful construc-
ton. These bridges are built with a
number of arches, the central arch be-
ing about forty feet wide, and high
enough for vessels to pass without
their mast. The great elevation ol
these bridges renders steps necessary.
They resemble in this respect, the old
bridges of Venice, on which you as
cend by steps on one side, and descend
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.

The papers are re- hashing the. old
Berry story, and they don't conclude
it in accordance with the facts. This
is the correct version: A celebrated
comedian arranged with his green gro
Ger, one Berry, to pay him quarterly;
but Berry once sent in his account
long before the quarter was due
Thereupon, the comedian, in great
wrath, called upon the grocer and said
to him: Il say, here's pretty null,
Berry; you have sent in your bill,
Berry, before it is due, Berry. Your
father, the elder Berry, would not
have been such a goose, Berry; but

Give 1t Up.

It is Elizabeth Stuart Phelps writing
fashions, in the Independent, and in
,dulging in this proposition: Sup
pose that, by one subtitle, strong coup
d'etat, the thinking women of Ameri-
ca could make it fashionable to dress
like rational beings p Miss Phelps
means business. She has certain
planks already hewn for a platform,
such as the shortening of dress skirts
from four to six inches, the disuse of
the biased waist and corset, in favor
of a plated CAMP (have we got that
right?) the suspension of every
thing from the shoulders" &c. Then
she has a new issue: "DOes either
the essential modesty of femenine ma
ture, or the safety of society require
drapery below the knees ?" Give it
up.

A Good Toast,

Here is Quaker toast that has tho't
in it:
"This is me and mine TO thee and
thine. l wish when thou and thine
come to see me and mine, that me and
mine will treat thee and thine as
kindly as thee and thine have treated
me and mine"
There is a new version of the old
complaint, which runs something af,
ter this wise:

me and my folks as well as me and
my folks love thee thy folks. For
sure. there never was folks, since folks
was folks, that ever loved folks half

made commensurate with the obligations as
sumed and the abilities it is desirable 10 COM
mand. The present Misunderstanding person
ally above reproach and an agreeable gentle
man, as we are informed-was not selected
with a view to any fitness for the post, but
solely to obge a prominent Pennsylvania
politician, who probably knows more OF party
foibles than of the necessities OF the farming
community.
Since the foregoing was written rumors
have reached us that in all probability inc
President will, early in his second term, give
Commissioner Watts opportunity TO retire W
the companionship of the Friends of his YOUTH
and we are also informed that several candl-
dates are already IN the field who evince
willingness to assume the duties OF the place
thus made vacant. John P. Reynolds OF Hi
nois, cultured gentleman, as well as prac-
teal agrculturist, is prominently urged by

promoter of the truly rural horse trot
known as the New-England Agricultural So
ciety is said to be urging its creator and
chief for the position and if an easy speech
and faultless apparel are the chief requisites,
one would say that Dr. Loring ought surely,
of all Others, to be the coming man. Last,
but not least of the names suggested, is that
of John R. Dodge, gentleman who has for
many years been prominently associated with
the Department, and whom we have long
regarded as the person Woodworking under
bad system and hampered by regulations he
could not change-has really done more than
any one else toward lifting it out OF utter
uselessness. We have no means of knowing
whether he has the characteristics essential to
success in larger sphere, but we believe In
Civil Service Reform, and we favor the idea
of giving Mr. Dodge chance to show his
full strength.

THE BUCOLIC BURE4U.

Our attentive readers are aware that we do
not entertain high respect for the crop mis-
information disseminated by the Department
of Agriculture. Most of the miscellaneous
matter in the Monthly Reports emanating from
the same source has previously seen the light
in one form or another in the journals of the
day. The same is true with regard to the
Annual Volume issued year or two after
date by the hundred thousand copies at Gov
eminent expense, and the larger number of
which speedily find their way to junk-shops
and the vats of the .paper-makers. OF the seed
swindle, we have heretofore spoken in plain
terms, and these four are the leading features
of the work of the Bureau.
There are men whose views of public ques-
tons are worthy of great respect, and who
have the interests of the country closely at
heart, who, being conversant with the fore
going facts, are sufficiently radical to think
that it would not be enough simply to reform
it altogether, but that the Agricultural De-
partment ought by good rights, and roughly
speaking TO be knocked in the head and
dragged out. They hold that agriculture needs
no such dry-nurse any more than does mining
or manufactures. In fact, that it would do
better if forced to be altogether self-reliant.
We are not prepared to avow our nc
ceptance of this item of their creed /;
still, they may be right. We do believe,
however that the Department of Agriculture,
as it has been, and to a certain extent now
is, ought either to be abolished or else thor
oughly reconstructed and strengthened. At
least. if we arc 10 have Commissioner Of

Apart from the Inevitable fascination with
which gold mining is invested, the curious pro-
cesses by which the California gold-hunters
reach the precious metal are unusually at
tractive in detail. The geological conditions
are so peculiar that Californians proudly
claim that no amount of mining experience
obtained elsewhere ia of the least use in their
country. Prof. Benz. Silliman's lecture on
Saturday evening, report OF which we PRINT
herewith, illustrates some of the pecullarlues
of god-seeking in the Pacific States 80 clearly
that even novice may secure very inteill-
gent view of the chief methods employed. and
casts light on the interesting problem of the
continuance of our gold supply.
n looks az though the Senate would not
take I'D either the case of Caldwell, Clayton,
Patterson, or the Louisiana claimants, at this
special session. Of these the Louisiana busi-
ness is most important; the disorders in that
State can be more readily quoted by decision
of the Senate in the case of Mcmillan VS..
Plnchback than in any other way Whatever
may be the action of the Senate in this matter,
it is of the first importance that it should be
soon taken. We cannot tell how much viO-
lence would be thereby averted. Next to this
in gravity comes the case of Senator Patter-
son. He has been presented for expulsion
from the Senate; while his colleagues have
held the report of the Committee, his term of
office has expired. 1t is due to him, as well
as to the body of which he has just ceased to
be member, that some action should now be
taken in his case; a postponement until next
Winter would be unjust and unfair. But it is
quite possible that the affair will glide off In
just that weak way.

less great activity is infused into the work of

Alarming evidence of the prevalence of vio-
lence and crime is found in the murder of a
child of fourteen, in Maryland, by lad of
eighteen who had been "crossed in love-"
The supposed suicide of the young murderer
only adds to the CHASTITY horror of the affair.
Ii it be true that we pass through cycles of
crimes and casualties with fixed regularity,
there is no doubt but we are now moving
through the homioidal cycle, a double murder
from the Isles of Shoals being reported with
this last
