Probably the Oldest Timber In
the World.

Probably the oldest timber in The
world which has been subjected to
the use of man is that found in the
ancient temple of Egyp. in connec-
tion with the stone-work, which is
known to be at least 1000 years old.
This, the only wood used in the con.
struc.ion of the temple, is in the
form of ties, holding the end of one
stone to another to its upper surface.
When two blocks were laid in place
an excavation about an inch deep
was made in each block, in which 4
tie shaped like an hourglass was
driven. 1t is, therefore, very difficult
to force any stone from its position.
The ties appear to have been of the
tamarisk or shittem wood, of which
the ark was constructed, q sacred
tree in ancient Egypt, and now very
rarely found in the valley Of the
Nile. The dove-tail ties are Just -
sound now as ON the day Of their in
sertion. Although fuel il extremely
scarce in the country, these bits OF
wood are not large enough to make
it an object with the Arabs to heave
off layer after layer Of heavy stone TO
obtain them. Had they been Of
bronze, half of the old Temple woula
have been destroyed years go; %
precious they would have besn log
various purposes.

wisconsin Railroads.

The Wisconsin railroad companies
have surrendered Internationally TO
the statute regulating their rates. \
Madison dispatch contains the follow
ing information in this regard:
In compliance with the Potter
law IN Wis aonsin, the Chicago and
Northwestern, Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul, and all the Wisconsin
State roads to-day issue new passen
ger and freight tariffs. The state
Comm IS ;oners having given their
figure, some time since, no repetition
is now necessary. At the meeting
Of th,.C Commissioners of the severa
Nor hwestefn : aics at Madison, on
YESTERDAY the following resolution
was adopted AS the proper rule for
the construction Of the Potter law in
charg ,ng passenger fare where there
are fractions OF a mile between sta
tions: That the Commissioners inter
pref chapter 2.3, laws of 1874, to re-
uuire as the rate OF fair that the eX-
ac, product OF the number of miles
multiplied by the legal rate per mile
shall be the MAXIMUM amount cEarg
ed in each ease; bu: that in case of
fractional miles, the fraction may be
counted as unit.
The Illinois Railroad Commission
ers are sitting the Wi~consia Com
misssioners 1t is to be hoped that
they will prof by what they see aud
hear. Our State has paid a good
deal of money to support the Rall-
way G nnmis-ion system and enforce
The anti-monop ly laws which those
Commissioners are officially obligated
to enforce, and is abost time to reap
some good results. The States about
us are getting ahead OF us. Again
is verified the sacred proverh, "The
first shall he last. and the last first,

enth hour before making beginning
in transportation reform, while Illinois
was the pioneer State in this regard.

THE BRID0B AGAIN.
The North Part ~ ohe Counav
Speaks o. tie CCoaS neIve4
Bridge Question.


Editor Adrertiser The corres-
pondent "Reno" in the last issue Of
your paper gives many excellcns
reasons why this county should build
\ bridge across Cedar river, and why
he would vote for the same and |
will only add few items which
think may be of interest to some
persons III coming to conclusion
how they will vote.
As 10 the ability Of the county 10
build a bridge no one can deny.
Therefore the only question seems
to be as to time and | cality. Ii
seems reasonable that we shall never
have very mach better time than
the present The county is clear
from debt. and has, as understand,
ten thousand dollars IN the treasury,
of county funds alone. She has .
good Court House and all Of her
other county buildings will last for
years. Also our tax levy for the
coming year is certainly low as CON-
pared with some former levies and as
compared with some Of the adjoining
counties. Our levy is Il mills for
county and ] mills for bridge pur-
poses, while that of Jones Co. is 4
mills county and 3bridge, both coun-
ties of about the same population.
As TO the usual bridge tax / see il is
less this year than last and presume
will be growing less yearly and l
should think from the large number
of substantial bridges already built
in the county, her need in that direc-
tion would soon be materially less.
Another good season for building at
present is that material that is used
in the construction Of bridges is
lower than it probably will be in q
few years hence, and labor is not
extravagantly high.
The valuation Of the real and per-
sonal property of this county is over
six million dollars. A levy of one
mill on the dollar would give over
six thousand dollars, which would be
about ten cents on the hundred dol
lars valuation, and if it required four
such lcvles it would take about 40
cents on the hundred dollars to make
The amount supposed TO be necessary
to build the bridge. 4 large number
Of the tax payers during their resi-
dence in this county would save that
amount of tax in ferriage by having
a free bridge. have been informed
by very good authority that = good
wooden brldge-not including the
cost Of approaehes-can be built for
considerably less than twenty thous-
and dollars.
As to locality. ] presume there are
many that think the county could
afford to build two bridges, locating
them at Rochester and Covers
Ferry. But will the people Of the
county ever vote the money to do it?
am well satisfied that the voters in
this part Of the coanty--a majority
Of whom, ! think, are 10 favor Of one
bridge vote almost unani-
mously against two. Then shall we
have one bridge soon or wait in
definitely for two.

What u Veteran with an Emply
sleeve Thinks.
CHlCAGo. ILL.,. Sept. III

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Sept. II, 1874.
To the Editor of the Inter-O Ocean -
SIR Permit me to thank you for
the course pursued by the Inter
Oceom in regard to the troubles in The
South. For months | have read in
your columns accounts Of ou,rages
upon white and colored Republicans;
have followed your advices, from the
organization of the White League
down to the accomplishment of its
purposes at Coushaita, New Orleans,
and throughout Louisiana. have
listened to your warnings Of the new
rebellion, while the Chicago Times
and Tribune have sneercd at these
"electioneering canards;" and hence
it is that | thank the Inter Ocean for
its course.
This morning told my wife to
bring out my old blue coat. She did
SO, and as gazed upon the dingy,
moth-eateD garment, ! noticed again
that ragged hole through the sleeve.
A bullet entered there while we
were before Atlanta. have enc
arm now, and wear an empty sleeve.
| do not grumble, am content, only
my wish is that my good arm may
not have been taken in vain. Even
If tears came to my wifes eyes, and
perhaps to mine, as we gazed at that
o.d coat, does not matter.
She brought out our Bible, and
turning the leaves we read how one
of my brothers died at Andersonville.
and how one Of hers died at Libby.
So we recorded their deaths, for we
knew that they were confined in those
prisons, and that they have never
since appeared. Just when they
died, or what torments they suffered,
does not matter.
Bat while am willing 10 cease re-
grets for my losses during the rebel
lion, | do not wish that the country,
the tnion, shall again be imperiled.
We whipped these rebels, we par
doned them, traitors though they
were: but now they are practicing
the same tactics that they were ia
1861. The Times and Tribune and
other Confederate sheets may talk Of
"carpet baggers' and "niggers" if
they please, but it is the disruption
of the Union that the White Leagues
are after. We made s.treason odi-
our at the point Of the bayonet, and
] think it is high time that we should
compel loyalty again by the same
means.
Nor am | alone in this feeling.
There are one thousand old vetrans
in Chicago to-day who think as | do,
and are glad that there is one paper
in the city that will not by implic.
tion even wink at this new assertion Of
State sovereignty as taught bv the
''color liners AN EMPTY SLEEVE.

Reported for the Advertiser.

Being of an enquiring disposition,
and wishing to transact some business
of general nature, we conceived the
foolish idea of attending the State
Fair at keokuk, last week before
starting we were strongly admonish-
ed by our better half, and friends
generally, no. to undert Ike the fer
midable task, but we persevered and
in spite OF all opposition decided to
try the experiment.
At an early hour. Wednesday
morning, we left the pleasant town Of
West Branch, on the express train
b. G. and NJ. r. R.-for Burlington.
The employees on this road are men
in every respect, ever ready to accom-
modate the travelling public; on sew
eral occasions they stopped the train
far from town or city, to allow some
struggling passenger to board the train
quite a novel proceedings for an
express train at least; everything was
done that could be done to accommo-
date the travelling public; and in this
respect there is quite difference be-
tween this road and those running
east and west through our State, all
of which generous public commend
and appreciate hence the large
amount of business done by the b. c.
and NJ. r. r.
In due time Burlington was reach
ed; fine city too, change cars, and
in two hours we arrived safe and
sound in the city of keokuk. We
were somewhat disappointed in the
appearance of the city from Water
street; it looks like some old town
of a hundred years ago and as soor
as you commence to ascend the steeI
grade leading into the principal part
Of the city, you become more ane
more confirmed in your first conceiv
ed opinion. In daylight the ascen
