THE GREAT BRIDGE AT PoUGHKEEPsIE.
The Poughkeepsie Ne,cs says: The prelim-
mary work on the great bridge will commence
Immediately. The builders will be the Key
stone Bridge Company of Philadelphia, who
have subscribed largely to the stock. They
are the leading bridge builders of this coun-
try, and have immense works at Philadel-
phia and Pittsburgh for the manufacture of
all kinds of iron that enters into the con-
struction of bridges. They are completing
the great bridge over the Mississippi at st.
Louis, which is nearly completed. The ma
chinery and tools used there will be trans
ported here: The drills and machinery for
boring in the bottom of the river, and the
scows on which they work, which have been
used in boring for the Brooklyn bridge, will
be used here, and will be put to work this
week, when the river location of the piers will
be determined. The land piers will then be
determined, and the mason work at once
commenced. Mr.. Lindville, President of the
Keystone Bridge Company, arrived here Sat-
urday with force, and all arrangements were
made for Immediately commencing the work.
II is hardly possible to realize the vastness of
the work to be commenced and talk with
Mr.. Lindville almost startles one when he Is
told wha; the gigantic work is to be. All 9TH
er bridge enterprises sink into insignifcance
compared with it. 1t will be by far the long
est, highest, and most magnificent bridge in
the world. Five spans of 500 feet each in
single bridge have never before been attempt
ed, but Mr.. Lindvie says ''it is all simple
enough, it is only a matter of calculation and
money!" The length of these spans will re-
quire the iron work of the bridge proper to be
sixty feet in height. This will make the to-
tai height of the bridge, and where the rail-
road track will run, 1914 feet above the water.
Certainly such amammoth work will be one Of
the wonders of the world.

ssWisdom from Middlemarch. ;,

Middlemarch," like all of George Eliot's
works, is full of brief paragraphs connected
with the story, yet conveying independent
lessons OF truth worthy to be remembered.
For example:
"We are on a perilous margin when we be-
gin to look passively at our future selves, and
see our own figures led with dull consent into
insipid misdoing and shabby achievement"
"There is a torsaking which still sits at the
same board and lies ON the same couch with
the forsaken soul, whitening it the more by
unloving proximity
'There are natures in which, if they love
us, we are conscious of having a sort Of bap-
tism and conservation; they bind us over To
rectitude and purity by their pure belief
about us; and our sins become the worst
kind of sacrilege which tears down the in
visible altar of trust"
"Who can know how much of his most in
ward life is made up of the thoughts he be-
lieves other men to have about him until that
fabric of opinion is threatened with ruin ?''
SIN courtship everything is regarded as
provisional and preliminary, and The smallest
sample OF virtue or accomplishment is taken
to guarantee delightful stores which the
broad leisure of marriage will reveal. But
the door-sill of marriage once crossed, ex-
pectation is concentrated on the present.
