Sending Portraits BY Telegraph.

The Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Standard writes II has often been
said that the science OF telegraphy is as
yet only in its infancy. What it will
be when II reaches the age Of maturity
il would be difficult 10 say with certain
", but some idea may be formed from
an extraordinary telegraphic discovery
Just made in Paris. II appears that
some inventor has found out the means
of sending portraits bytele graph. The
modus operandi has not yet been dis
closed, but experiments have been
made, and (if we are 70 believe the pa
pers) with complete success. The trial
was made by the police authorities of
Paris and Lyons. The portrait Of a
Lyons official was forwarded from Paris
by the new telegraphic apparatus, and
nj once recognized. In return the
Lyons police telegraphed 70 Paris the
portrait, accompanied by the usual
description, Of clerk who had just abb
seconded with his master ; money, and
the Paris police, thanks 70 the tele-
graphic portrait, were enabled to ar
rest the thief on his aighting from the
train AZ the Lyons Railway Station.
These facts are published on the best
authority, and, incredible as They may
seem, are no doubt authentic. So far,
the ingenious discovery is only being
employed for the detection If criminals,
but il Is evident that the police authori-
ties will not be able TO monopolize IL,
and that il will be turned 10 account by
society at large under the various try
ing circumstances Of life, and more
especially in the cases Of deserted wives
and husbands, missing heirs, disconso-
late lovers and similar interested be-
ings.

THAT Brldge.--Pa

That Brldge,--Parties have, for some
time past, been making efforts to secure
wagon bridge across the river just below
Eagle Point. 1t was claimed that the
Boards Of Commissioners Of Lucas and
Wood counties would each give 1000
towards such structure, and that citizens
Of Wood county would give $4,000 by
subscription. The estimated cost Of the
bridge was $55 900, which would leave $780,
600 to be subscribed by citizens Of the Fifth
Ward of Toledo. Before taking decisive
steps upon the subject, the Commissioners
of Lucas county submitted the question OF
their authority TO makethe apportionment
to Judge COLLINS, who decided that tile
appropriation could not be made, on the
grounds (l) that the Commissioners could
not take such action for the construction Of
a bridge within the city limits, since por-
ton of the bridge fund belongs to and must
be expended by the city authorities; (2)
that the Commissioners are not authorized
to make an appropriation for bridge, ex-
cspt upon the line of road, without vote
of the people This decision has had the
effect to defeat the project for bridge at
the point named, since both of these objec-
tions apply to this case.
The point named for the defeated bridge
is not, in our judgment, the proper place
for bridge; provided but one such struc-
ture is to span the river between this place
and the Cherry street bridge. While
bridge at that point would greatly improve
facilities for reaching Toledo from this
section Of Wood county, more persons and
larger Interests would be most benefited
by placing the bridge at Rock Bar. Those
below that point are reasonably we'll accom-
modated by the Cherry street bridge, while
those living in Perrysburg and above here
would be best served bv bridge at Rock
Bar. Besides, bridge can be built at
much less expense at Rock Bar than at any
other point between Perrysburg and Toledo.
A good NJ M'Adamized road is now in process
of construction on the Lucas county side
OF the River, which is additional reason
tor the location of the bridge at the near
est feasible point to Perryshurg.
BY locating the bridge at Rock Bar, both
the objections raised by Judge Collins are
obviated. 1t is without the city limits and
is on the road to Toledo. True, teams do
not now cross there but they do cross above,
and the road between Perrysburg and To
ledo is materially shortened by changing
the place of crossing. The Wnterville
bridge is located about half mile below
the usual crossing place, but it is none the
less on the Waterville road. The exact
point of crossing must be determined by
questions of convenience aud economy,
both OF which clearly point to Rock Bar
as the proper place for the bridge.
Perrysburg has special interest in this
project, and We learn chat survey and es-
Inmates for bridge at Rock Bar will be
made at once, forming basis for early ac-
| ton on the part OF those interested. The
proposed Improvement would undoubtedly
| add much to the value Of Perrysburg prop
erty and will meet with substantial encour-
agement on the part of our citizens.
