when Francis Granger was Postmas- ter-General he used to take great pleas ure in heading off incompetent office seekers by producing the neat and well arranged books of the then financial officer Of the department, the genial John Marron, and asking the applicant II he could keep accounts as neatly as these were kept. The question never failed to prove a settler. Judge Coll amer, on assuming the charge of the department, having previously been a member of Congress, was already ac- quainted with some of the clerks. whom he had met in the course of business. and one day, when contemplating some removals, he had called before him. among others, MT. Marr, at present chief clerk of the Appointment Office. In half-serious, half-jovial manner. the judge said: .s-.. "Well, Mir. Marr, do you think the department could get along without you?'
 The quick answer was evidently free from much apprehension of danger "I don't know how that may be, judge but l know that I couldn't get along very we'll without the department.
 He was retained.

The percentage of strehgth before breaking is noted on graduated scale. The specifications require that the wire shall have a breaking strength of over {, 400 pounds, with three and half per cent. of stretch. @
 The test to which the iron is subjected is described by an eye witness as fol- lows: The wire was placed in the jaws by MT. George Stanley, a workman ad- justing the apparatus. When every thing was ready for the test there was, as before stated, a strain of 400 pounds on the wire. An employe stationed on the platform below the scale-arm. first placed weights corresponding to 5000 pounds on, then increased the weight ter3, ,S60, when the percentage of stretch, as noted from the scales by MT. Stanley, was three per cent. At 3,990 the wire broke, showing five per cent. of stretch. A second sample was taken from another coil. On testing this with 5000 pounds at starting it gave two per cent. of stretch. A thousand pounds more were added, and the wire still stood the tre- mendous strain, the scale recording four per cent. of stretch. The breaking strengths so far have averaged in the vicinity. of 3 1900 pounds, with five per cent. of stretch, and in some cases even as high as 4, zoo breaking strength has been reached.
 The wire is further examined as to its resistance to vertical strain, and to show the amount of stretch under this strain by testing from every fortieth coil piece sixty feet in length. A sam- pie of one foot from each coil is sub iected to bending test by coiling it around rod half an inch in diameter; and noting it's behavior under this treatment, breakage causing rejection of the whole coil. So far the quality of the wire has been very satisfactory, sos of the BIO coils presented for inspection have been accepted. This makes about ten tons of wire already delivered to the bridge company, as much more being ready. From April l, MT. Haigh ex- poets to deliver to the bridge company the 150 tons per month required by the contract. until the 6,s0O,O0 pounds, :, 400 tons of wire have been delivered, which will be some two years from the time of the first delivery. The new buildings, which are being put up, are constructed with especial reference to Colonel Paine's ssstraightening" pa- tent, being 200 feet in length by 90 feet deep, and will contain the galvanizing and reeling apparatus.
 The four main cables of the bridge, for which and for the wire rope sus- penders of the roadway, this rope is being manufactured, will each be com- posed of 6,2S9 wires, divided into 19 strands of 331 wires each. These with the breaking strength of 3,400. pounds required by the specifications would give tensile strength of 100, ,00O pounds per square inch of cross section. But if the wire manufactured by the con- tractor keeps at the present high standard the tensile strength per square inch of cross section will be somewhere in the vicinity of 200, ,OOO pounds.

Ascent of Mount Yesuvius.

Not only is the cone very steep, but it is covered with ashes, so that one has no firm hold for his feet, but sinks deep at every step. Thus he makes slow progress, and is soon out of breath. He can only keep on by going very slowly had to stop every few minutes and throw myself down in the ashes to rest. But with these little delays, kept stead
 ly mounting higher and higher. As we neared the top, the presence of the volcano became manifest, not merely from cloud, which always hangs above it, but by smoke issuing from many places at the side. It seemed as if the mountain were a vast, smouldering heap, out of which the internal heat forced it's way through every aper- ture. Here and there a long line of smoke seemed to indicate subterra- mean Assure or vein, through which the pent-up fires forced their way. As we crossed these lines of smoke the sul- phurous fumes were stifiing, especially when the wind blew them in our faces, But at last all difficulties were con- quered, and we stood on the very top, and looked over the awful verge into the crater. Those who have never seen volcano are apt to picture it as a tall peak, a slender cone like a sugar-loaf. with round aperture at the top, like the chimney of blast-furnace, out of which issues fire and smoke. Some thing of this indeed there is, but the actual scene is vastly greater and grander. For, instead of a small round opening, like the throat of chimney, large enough for one flaming column, the crater is, should think, nearly a mile across, and half mile deep; and one looks down into yawning gulf, a vast chasm in the mountain, whose rocky sides are yellow with sulphur, and out of which the smoke issues from different places. At times it is impos- sible to see anything, as dense volumes of smoke roll upward, when the wind drives towards us, so that we ourselves are lost in the cloud. Then they drift away, and for an instant we see far down into the bowels of the earth. The point where we stood projected over the crater. The great eruption three years since had tore away half the cone of the mountain, and now there hung obove it a ledge, which seemed ready at any moment to break and fall into the gulf below. AS I stood on that "perilous edge," on the crumbling verge of volcano, seemed to be in the position of a human being exposed to danger vast and unseen, to powers which blind and smother and destroy. As if nature would fix this lesson, by an image never to be forgotten, the sun that was declining in the west, sud- denly burst out of the cloud, and cast ing my own shadow on the column of smoke that was rising from below. That shadowy form, standing in the air, now vanishing then reappearing, with every flash of sunlight, seemed no inapt image of human life, a thing of shadow floating in cloud and hover ing over an abyss !-Dr. Field.
