\ GENERAL CELESTIAL WAR lMMI-
NENT.-The Mikado of Japan is in a
condition very similar to that of the late
Emperor of the French early in 1870.
The sweeping reforms made throughout
his great empire, the upsetting of the
old order of things and of the old feud-
al lords, the Daimios, provoked rebel
lion it cost good many men and two
millions of money to put down, and left
a vast amount of discomfort among the
conservatives everywhere. The result
is that our late visitor, Iwakura, who
holds about the same relation to the en-
pire that Bismarck does to Prussia, has
determined upon foreign war as neces-
sary to harmonic conflicting interests.
Corea is the country; they would like
most to fight, but the danger of Russian
interference is too great for the Premier
to risk it, 50 Formosa is chosen instead,
and war declared with great flourish of
trumpets. If the war should end with
the beautiful little island ii wouldn't t
amount to much; but China has a good
many of her people in that quarter, and
looks very jealously upon her Celestial
neighbor's encroachments. In view of
ion in diplomatic circles of the East that
a general Celestial war is among the pos

The iron work of the great bridge
across the Mississippi at. ST. Louis, has
been completed by the Keystone Bridge
Company. The bridge proper consists Of
three arches, each over 500 feet in length.
Platforms could not be built from which
to construct the arches on account of the
rapid river current, and of their interfer-
ence, if erected, with the business inter
ests of St. Louis. These difficulties were
met, however, by the engineering skill
of the contractors. From each of the two
river piers arches were sprung which
balanced each other as they were being
built, and from which the workmen's
platforms were suspended. The.arcs TO
meet these were balenced from the shore
piers by c0unterpoiso weights, so ar
ranged as TO automatically support the
are in its proper position, notwithstand-
ing the contraction and expansion al
ways going on in the metal supporting
rods Link by link the spans were built
out from six different points, until the
three arches met over the river and were
firmly banded together. The bridge is
a wonderful specimen of skill in con
struction, and this, no less than its great
size and cost, will make it attractive to
tourists. It's cost including tunnel and
approaches, will not be less than SIO,-
100000. The bridge is sixty feet above
high water, but complaints have been
made that it is not high enough to allow
the passage of the great Mississippi
steamboats, under its spans. The immense
smoke stacks on these boats, however,
can probably be cut off TO suit the bridge,
and if not they can be so constructed
as to be ''telescoped" one section with
another while they are passing under
this great bridge, A Western paper sug-
gests that these smoke stacks must ac-
knowledge inferiorty by graceful bow.

The Bi,fh of italian Opera.

About the year li9i three young men,
natives of Florence, who were exceed
ingly intimate and who possessed many
artistic tastes in common, conceived the
idea of restoring the ancient Grecian
lyric style of defamation. They per-
suadcd the celebrated poet, Riuucci, to
compose the words of drama, the sub
ject Of which was the story of Daphne,
and this was set to music by Pest, the
most celebrated composer Of the fifteenth
century. Count CoTsi, an admirable
musician, aided him in the undertaking,
and the fnt performance Of the first
opera was played in the palace of that
gentleman. The actors and singers were
friends Of the author, and he himself took
one of the parts. The orchestra of the
first opera was composed Of four yiolins,
cythra, a harp, and violoncello.
There were no airs in this composition,
and il consisted entirely Of recitations
accompanied by fine harmonies, which
were, however, judged by the great critic,
Ruccellai, to be very monotonous and
tedious.
