The HIGHEST RAILROAD BRIDGE IN
THE WORI.D.-The Cincinnati papers are
giving accounts of the opening Of the
new Southern railroad from that city to
the Kentucky river, where there is said
to be the highest railroad bridge yet built.
1t is 275 feet high, having three spans,
the MIDDLE one 375 feet long, and the
others 800 feet each, the total length be-
ing 1925 feet. There is bridge in
Switzerland which is 1854 feet high, but
with span only IA feet long, and one
at Varrugus, in the Andes, 1852 feet high,
with spans 1875 feet long. The piers Of
this Kentucky bridge are the largest in
the country, except those at Brooklyn,
the stone work being 1870 by AZ feet and
the base of the iron work III by %.
The frame is all wrought iron, and was
built out from the abutments toward the
center of each span. The fastening Of
the junction points was accomplished in
a novel way. One sunshiny day having
expanded the framework, the connecting
bolts were fastened, and so much secured
then a second day of sunshine having
given all the expansion the bridge was
capable of, the bolts were made fast per-
manently. At the opening the other day
the bridge was subjected to seven severe
tests, and stood them all admirably.

the canal will lie dug, if Grant once 1t.
tempts it.
The construction of such canal will
have an important bearing on the poll
tics of the world. The Suez canal would
no longer be the shortest route to India
CT China, nor the possession Of the Med
iterranean necessary to secure to the
English highway to their Hindoo and
Australian possessions. In this country
it will initiate somewhat against the
Southern Pacific Railway project and
diminish largely the business of the Pa
cific railroads already built. They will
be able to more than make this up, how
ever, by the rapid development Of the
country through which they pass

Appearances.

When man begins to 60 down hill
he is apt to betray the fact by his ex-
terror appearance; he wears long face
allows his clothes to look shabby, and
acts like one bereft Of hope or pros
poets. Now this is very poor policy
the sympathy and assistance of friends il
not gained by wearing dirty shirt
and unless man acts as though he had
confidence in himself, he must not ex.
pect to inspire it in others. And 90 with
the external appearance of everything
Neatness of appearance does not end
with mans credit, but often enhances
the value of articles which he may have
for sale. This is especially true upon
the farm, and we will venture to say
that farmer who attends to the exterior
of things in general, such as clean stables
and animals, clean yards and buildings
and fences in good repair, will obtain
five to ten per cent. more for the products
of his farm than one who neglects such
simple matters. If anyone doubts the
effect of external appearance upon values
in market or elsewhere, let him try send
ing butter to market 10 an old weather
beaten firkin, no matter how good thu
butter or clean the vessel may be inside
If this does not satisfy, try some stained
and dirty eggs, or half plucked poultry
Producing good article is one thing
but selling it to advantage is quite an
other, and the good salesman generally
makes the most money of the two. TIL,
importance of fair exterior can hardl,
be overestimated. This principle is po.
tent in any branch of trade, and in ever!
grade of society; therefore, it is too i'm
portant to be overlooked or passed un
needed.

Public Securities and the War in
Europe.

Many persons are at loss to under.
stand how it Is that public securities are
maintained at existing prices with a
great war raging in Europe, in the pro-
gress of which so many States are more
or less directly interested and the ulti.
mate limit of which it is impossible to
foresee. Itshould be borne in mind that
there is large class of capitalists who
hold both English and French Govern
ment stocks as source of income, feel
ing perfectly certain that they will al
ways get their interest, even if they have
to see very considerable depreciation
in the principal for months without q
recovery. In consequence Of the nu-
merous defaults which foreign Govern
ments have made, an enormous mass of
capital has been, 80 to speak, all driven
into one corner, and the highest class of
public securities are now held probably
more strongly than ever before by in
vestors who are Indifferent to the market
quotations, and only care for the punct.
ual payment of the 81 per cent. per
annum, or whatever the yield of interest
may be. Some new enterprises are tim
idly brought forward, but there is reason
to believe that they meet with but a
lukewarm support from the public.
While, therefore, the exit to floating cap
ital is practically closed in this direction
for the present, bankers are competing
with capitalists generally for securities
of sound nature in the absence of bills
of exchange, which are still very scarce
and likely to be while merchants are
afraid of the political future. In such
circumstances as these it does not seem
difficult to account for the present high
price of the best securities. We have
had comparatively recent experience of
the celebrity with which even the fiercest
of wars reaches its climax with the mod
ern weapons and facilities, and likewise
of the rapidity with which the beaten
Power, when first-class Power, can re-
cover itself; and it is no doubt to great
extent on this ground that the late mo-
mentous events for Europe produced so
comparatively small an impression upon
the market quotations of the best public
securities.-London Tinses.
