The Eureka Sentinel has discovered an
instance of the Office seeking (and inding) the
man. Here it is:
Peter n. Hansen has just received the ap-
pointment of Postmaster General at Alpha,
in this county-salary, S12 year. He is in
possession of his commission, signed by
Rutherford B., and about 10000 blanks of
various designs. Also, he is requested to file
bond in the sum of $500 for the faithful
performance of his duties. Pete swears he
never made application for this Federal billet,
but Ned McSorley, who has known him since
the fall of 40 or spring of so, says the ruling
ambition of Pete's life has been twelve
dollar postofice But it is difficult to imag-
inc how the new Nasty is going to manage to
accept the Alpha postmastership without
violating the Presidents celebrated civil
service reform order Pete is a respectable
and respected member of the Democratic
Central Committee of this county. There is
high treason somewhere in this business. No
man can serve two masters If Pete has gone
over to the enemy his resignation as Com
mitteman is in order.

himself out of all his troubles and triumphs

THE GREAT BRIDGE.

As to the manner of building the great
bridge across the East River, the following,
from the Herald of August 25 gives one some
vague hints whose very mystery is something
of charm:
Work was commenced at nine o'clock yes
terday morning on the third pair of upstream
strands, and during the day the second pair
of downstream strands were being regulated
under the direction of Colonel Paine. Just
before sunrise Colonel Paine went down into
the regulating cradle of the downstream
strand, on the Brooklyn land span, to take
some additional observations. At eleven
o'clock Master Mechanic Harrington was let
down in boatswains chair to the regulating
cradle of the downstream strands in the
middle of the river span.
The final measurement for the regulation
of the strands are taken on the regulation
cradles at early morning, as at that hour the
strand to be regulated and the one by which
it is regulated are of the same temperature.
In the daytime the sun would tend to elon-
gate one more than the other, SO that accurate
calculations could not be made. The first Of
the three regulating cradles for the upstream
strands, which have been lying on the foot
bridge for some days, was lowered in place
Yesterday afternoon and the large cradle on
the Brooklyn landspan. large force of the
bridge workmen were employed in the work,
and some of them in fastening the different
guyropes in their places performed work while
suspended in mid air both daring and danger
Gus, The specifications for the granite face,
arch and other stonework for the New York
and Brooklyn approaches, which amount to
some 10000 cubic yards, are ready. Copies
will be sent, with an invitation to bid, to
owners of quarries and contractors in all cases
where they are known to the Bridge Company,
and the request for proposals, with the
specification, will be published in the papers
probably on Monday next. The contract will
be large one, amounting to somewhere in
the neighborhood of S500,0

A good story is told Of ex-senator Eastman.

still in force some Individual, in violation of
the law was duck hunting near Eastman s
ranch Eastman heard the report of the gun
and suspecting what was up fastened to the
spot to get sight of the law breaker that he
might report him to the officers. He made
dilligent search for the shootist but failed to
find him, but succeeded, with the aid of his
faithful bird dog, in capturing 16 ducks which
the pot hunter had slaughtered and dare not
stop to recover. The Senator thinks he COM
mitted no crime, as he merely took the game
in to keep it from spelling.
