Work on the East River bridge.

The large corome steel cable, called
the "cradle CABLE" whichsis q inches in
diameter, was yerterday stretched across
the East river between the piers, max.
ing the sixth rope in the air. The cable
is the first set of four, on which the
workmen will construct the great cables
The cradle cable weighs over seventeen
tons, and is 300 feet long. The end of
the cable was dashed to one of tho trav-
eilcr ropes, drawn out from the New
York tower thirty feet, and then st
tached TO the carrier rope by movea-
bic pulley with q depended iron hook.
The traveller drew the cable thirty feet
more, and then another pulley was put
on the carrier rope. 1t was tedious
task to get the rope across with these
interruptions. There were signal men
on the towers with red flags, with which
they signalled the engi neer. These Gags

Refinement.

Refinement is not fastidiousncss. Ii
is not luxury. 1t is nothing Of this
kind. 1t is far removed from excess
or waste. A person truly refined will
not squander or needlessly consume
anything. Refinement, on the con-
trary, is always allied 10 simplicity and
a judicious and tasteful employment OF
the means of good and happiness which
it has at command. 1t seeks to divest
itself of superfluities and aspires contin-
ually 10 the utmost possible purity.
Refinement leads to personal cleanliness
and elegant neatness, good taste and
simplicity in dress. All "loudness" is
repugnant to its spirit. ln its home
and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS palatial,
afiiuent or humble-the same chastness
and natural grace are, maintained. The
abode of genuine refinement and mere
pretender to il, are very different. In
the former you will find no excess, gaud-
mess, or false glIttering but the latter
abounds in it. In personal manner, re-
finement is most conspicuous. A man
of refinement is always polite without
flourish, gentle without effemlnacy, and
considerate without stiffness. Display
and ceremony are not identical with re-
finemont and are poor substitutes for it.
There is, of course, no refinement like
that Of the heart, which impels its pos
SCISSOR to show on all DECISIONS a thought
full and kindly regard for the feelings of
others. No adherence to etiquette can
compare with it for the spontaneous OBJ
servation oftrue and gratifying polite
ness
