Bridging the Niagara River.

Surveys are quietly proceeding on
Grand Island, says the Lockport Jour-
nal, for another international railroad
bridge. The company was chartered
last spring, both in the Dominion Parlia-
ment and the American Congress, and
already capitalists have been induced
to cooperate and engineers set to work.
The bridge is being built in the inter-
ests of the Canada Southern, whose
managers complain that not only is the
international bridge unavailable on &C
count of it's single track, but the city
of Buffalo, through which trains can
only be run at the rate Of six miles an
hour, is serious obstacle in the way OF
railroad traffic. Hence they feel them
selves compelled to ''go round" Buffalo.
The Grand Island bridge will have a
double track; also double carriage
way. 1t will cross the Western interna-
tional branch of the Niagara River just
below Black Creek, to which short
line will be built from Stevensville;
then run along Grand Island distance
Of about seven miles, and cross the
Eastern American branch to the main
land near Tonawanda, there connect
ing with the Erie and Central. The
situation, the Journal adds, is an ex-
ceedingly favorable one, the water
being only twenty feet deep and the
current one and one-half miles an hour,
as against current Of from eight to
twelve miles at Buffalo. The bridge
will be finished in August, 1875, and an
important saving in time will, it is con
fidently anticipated, ensue from it's con-
structiOn.

next evenings twilight, musing, per-
chance, half in sadness, half in shy
pleasure, when the door clicked on it's
latch, and in walked Miss Dubarle.
Janet started to her feet with a slight
cry: ,
barle, stroking the soft brown hair with
kindly, reassuring touch. "Tve
come back to you, Janet Heath, for I
believe, in spite of everything, you are
the truest friend I've got, and that you
love nc after all.
"Indeed, indeed, Miss Dubarle, I
do" sobbed Janet, with her old foolish
trick of hers.
And So" said Miss Dubarle, {" you
can marry that Harry Dart of yours,
and he can come here to live, and we'll
all be happy family together. Unite
my bonnet-strings, Janet-thoy've got
somehow into knot-and make me a
to shake one into d jelly -
So Miss Dubarle settled back into the
old groove again, and when the letters
from New York came she sent them
back unopened. And when Mr.. Herbert
Smythe and the Secor Brooks family ar
rived in propr5a persong she obstinate
ly refused to see them.
81 won't be bothered, said Miss Du-
barle. "Janet's my heiress, and there's
an end of the matter"
And the relatives discovered that they
might as we'll attempt to move the Rock
of Gibralter as to alter Miss Dubarle' S
resolve

Dishonest Chinese Merchants.

The New York Tribune's Hong Kong
correspondent gives a very uncon- p---
mentary sketch of the Chinese mer-
chant. Those who enjoy the reputation
of merchants in California are, he de-
clares, scoundrels of the most desperate
description who have been deported
from China for crimes. He describes
the means Of becoming a merchant in
the Flowery Land. Two Migrants will
form partnership and live together at
all aggregate income Of AZ cents day,
half of which sum they save. At the
end of six months they buy sedan
chair and procure license. The
chances of arrest for larceny at this
stage are ten to one, but If the critical
period is successfully passed they be-
come small merchants, earning 50 or So
day. At the end of two years they
have amassed some 5000 apiece, and
then separating, become independent.
They buy goods on credit, land by means
Of cheating, swindling, matchmaking
and extortion manage to become
wealthy. The Matchmaking process re-
quires the cooperation of mandarin,
who deals out Justice, and pockets half
the fine imposed. OF course as the
merchant becomes wealthier his chance
of punishment becomes smaller, but
when caught he is branded and deport
ed to San Francisco. This seems to be
very bad state of affairs; but the
United States correspondent Of Hong
Kong paper might with equal justice
translate the account and send it back
to China as a graphic description of
certain phases of American commercial

Curious Surgery.
Correspondence New York Graphic.

The Baltimore American recently
said that Mr.. H. D. Webster, residing
in the Seventh Ward of that city, sub
mitted to a surgical operation at the
College of Physicians and Surgeons for
a wound upon his right leg, received
twelve years ago while serving in the
famous Pennsylvania Bucktail" Regi-
ment in front of Richmond, during Nc
Clellan's campaign. Mr.. Webster suf-
fered from the wounded member very
much, each year it becoming more
acute. A few weeks ago he became
much Frustrated, and it was decided
that he must submit to asurgical opera
ton. He was placed under the inf1u-
ence of chloroform. A recently invent
ed process was applied, consisting Of a
gutta percha apparatus, which forced
the blood from the veins of the limb,
and then the wound was laid bare and
the injury carefully examined. Several
pieces of bone and portion of bullet
were removed without the effusion of
blood. Mr.. Webster after being re-
stored to consciousness, stated that he
felt no considerable inconvenience from
the operation. 1t was found that the
bone OF the limb was much injured, and
amputation may yet be necessary. The
process used is German invention, and
some discussion has been had among
the medical fraternity in this country in
reference to it, one authority believing
that secondary hemorrhage might fol
low it's use. In Mr.. Websters case the
result was stated to be satisfactory.

Starting in Life uponf Small Capital.

Two young men, Larabee and Bow
ers, deposited 81 at the Eliot Savings
Bank, Boston, in the name of Jesse
Gray. On receiving bank book they
raised the amount from 81 10 S175, ana
on the strength Of this obtained loan
of $575 from the Collateral Loan Com
pany. Four days later they deposited
81 at the savings bank in the name of a
second party, raised it to $1S9, and OBJ
tanned loan of 500 on this. A third
time they deposited 81, obtained a
bank book and raised the figure to $500,
upon which they borrowed $500. Their
previous success emboldened them
to try one more good raise,
and, after depositing 81 for the last
time, they raised it to 1891 and
demanded $3.50 on the security of the
bank book. The officers of the Loan
Company became suspicious and gave
the applicant, Larabee, $50, with in
structions to call for the balance next
day. They meanwhile made inquiries
at the Savings Bank and detected the
fraud. The forgers were arrested and
their game ended. By depositing 81
they had succeeded il making 1925. by a
very simple and ingenious Continuance,
and, had their last transaction been per-
fected, would have added $500 to their
profits. The two men had been car con-
ductors, which explains their ingenuity.
Anybody who can successfully avoid the
traps set by Car Company in the form
of punches, slips, shooters, and bell
punches, can cheat an ordinary banking
concern without difficulty.

Report of the Chief of the Ordnance
Bureau.

Gen. Benet, Chief of the Ordnance
that less than $500,000 should be annu-
ally expended at the national armory,
not only as a measure of economy in
producing the best armory for the least
money, but in the interest of the
country to make gradual but sure ac
emulation of the best weapons as re-
serve in case of war Certainly not less
than 500, 900 of the best arms should be
manufacturers as rapidly as the monetary
condition of the country will permit.
Gen. Benet says that a board, COM
prised of Majors Crispin, Treadwell and
Boylan, of the Ordnance Department,
were authorized, ana after several
months of patient and careful investi-
cation, has made it's report. The board
strongly recommends the retention of
the Springfield armory and Frankfort
arsenal, and the establishment of a
grand arsenal in the vicinity of New
York, for manufacturing purposes re-
tanning also the Indianapolis arsenal, in
Indiana the Kennebec arsenal, in
Maine the Fortress Monroe arsenal, in
Virginia, and the Augusta arsenal, in
Georgia, as places for storage and re-
pair. They recommend the sale of the
Allegheny, Columbia, Detroit, Pixies
vile, Waterviet, Watertown and Wash
ington arsenals, the sales to be made as
rapidly as circumstances may permit,
