B.ideins ~ bosphorus.,

Capt. james b. Eads, the we'll
known engineer, in conjunction with
Mr.. a. o. Lambert, has completed
plans for . bridge across the Bospho.
rus, connecting Pera, European Con
stantinople, with, the -Asistic shore.
The bridge, which, with the exception
Of the masonry and flooring, Will be
constructed of. Iron, viii 30 loo feel
wide, 6,000 feet long, and witt consist
Of fifteen spans, of which the central
spsu in the world. The height Of the
roadway above the surface Of the wa
ter will be 100 feet. The chief din.
Guilty In the erection Of the bridge
will be encountered in the construc-
ton Of the great central arch. The
current q this point 10 very strong,
and it will be necessary in. building
the piers to sink two great caissons Ii
water more than 100 feet deep. The
piers of the arch will be fifty feet
thick. and will be constructed Of gran
lite blocks locked together with iron
braces. By . new invention Of the
engineer, the weight Of heavy objects,
such % troops or stcam-cars passing
over the arches, will be equaily dis
tributed among all tina supports, 90
that the danger arising from the con-
centration Of weight upon any one
point will be averted. A careful sur
vey of the bed Of the Bosphorus
shows that it consists Of three feet of
alluvial mud over about fifteen feet of
sandy strata. Beneath them ID . foun-
dation of solid rock. It 10 estimated
that the bridge can be constructed at
. cost Of $25, 200, 600, labor being un-
commonly cheap in Constantinople.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Assistant
Secretary Mccormick, OF the Treasu-
ry Department, has rendered his res
ignation, to take effect on the appoint
ment OF his successor. Governor
Mccormick left for Long Branch this
morning and will probably not re-
turn here. The position has not suit
ed him for many reasons, the main
one being lack Of physical strength
and patience to manage its annoying
and perplexing details. To perform
the duties of that office a man must
have nerves of iron and untiring pa
thence, neither of which qualities Mr..
Mccormick possesses. 1t is probable
that he will be given foreign mis-
sion. Edward Mcpherson, the new
Chief Of the bureau Of Printing and
Engraving, is spoken of as Gov. Nc
Cormick's successor. He was Cor ma
ny years Clerk of the House Of Rep
