Capt. Eads and he's friends are now
preparing bill to present to Cod
gress, the object Of which IS to secure
by application Of the Jetty principle, q
twenty-foot channel Of water from Cai-
rorto New Orleans during the whole
year. That this Is feasible, IS plainly
demonstrated in. the address recently
delivered by Capt. Eads before the
Chamber Of Commerce ofthis and other
cities. The facts presented are derived
from his IIfe's study Of The Mississippi
and its hydraulics and deserve the
FRS. consideration.o of any method Of I'M
proving this great stream.
The early Spring Is the general to-
pic--snch Is beyond the memory of"the
Oldest inhabitant." Crop prospects were
never better. all over the West. Gran
gers are jubiIant. Messrs. Bowman
and Mitchell, spoken ofin my last, have
both been disbarred and henceforth
prohibited from practising law in this
State. The Democratic press Of this
city and the people generally are in full
accord with the views Of Senator Dem
mis-. OF Maryland, expressed in present
ing the Blair resolution (from the Mary
land Legislasure) in the U. s. Senate.
The peace Of the country demands that
that issue should not be opened.

The Free Bridge CommiSSi0nerS-A Cost
IN Lu1ry-The following gentlemen have
been elected by the City Council as Free
Bridge Commissioners for the city OF Man
chester: Messrs. c. &. McRac, John e.
BatchelIer, A. Cary Gibbs, Robert Beuttie,
and DR.. William Il. Wei:iger. DR.. McRae
is the only one Of the original commission
ers left on the Board. Messrs. Erasmus Gary
and James NJ. Moody are dead, Mr.. W. e..
Taylor has removed from the city, and
Judge William /. Clopton declined re-
election. In the present Board Messrs. Gibbs
and Bcattie are new members. succeeding
Judge Clopton and Socrates Brooks,
Esq. Mes>rs. BatchelIer and Gibbs are
members OF the City Council. The Free
bridge cost the city OF Manchester $4,000,
the interest on this amount at eight per cent.
per annun amounts to 1880. The incl
dental expenses swell this to about $4,000.
This amount is expended for the benefit OF
the surrounding country, and IS the most
costly luxury our people enjoy. AS long
as this incubus sucks up the greater portion
Of the revenue OF the city we will never
have paved or lighted streets or better water
accommodation.

High Life on wheels at Newport.

Letter to Baltimore American
wish l could have photographed for the
entertainment OF some Of the plain-going
readers OF the American, who may never
have seen such turnout some OF the
phases Of hjgh-lifc on wheels that saw at
Newport. Let me give them at least the
outlines Of Just one: A ponderous vehicle,
much larger than an oid-style English
stage-coach, very lofty, and brilliant with
blue and crimson, drawn by four splendid
coach-horses richly harnessed and re-
splendent with silver mountings, con-
tanning a party OF gaily-dressed la
dies and gentlemen, goes rolling by,
.the Lord OF the Manor, as we will call
him, holding the ribbons and driving the
four.in-hanG. A liveried servant rides by
his side, and two tall footmen, made to ap-
near uncommonly so through the aid OF high
silk hats of an unapproachable glossiness,
are perched up behind the ponderous yehi-
Gle on seats which have TO be gained by
climbing up stepping-placeS arranged for
the purpose. BY the side OF the footman's 8
perch hung a sort OF wicker-work basket,
fashioned like culver for arrows, contain
ing what appeared to be carved mace OF
staff. The ponderous coach drew up before
one OF the fashionable hotels to drop q
guest. Instantly the stylish servant was on
the ground to open the coach and aid the
gentleman to alight, while at the same mo-
ment the two footmen descended, the one
on the right side taking his position at the
head Of the first pair Of horses, and the one
on the LETT taking his position by the second
pair, each standing in a sort Of military
attitude, for which they had evidently been
drilled. When the Lord OF the Manor
indicated his readiness to move on the foot
men touched their hats, and swung them
selves back into their lofty perch, and the
impressive vehicle rolled away.

AMutual Worry.

A well-to-do undertaken OF San Francisco
owned suiall house aud lot in block that
! was coveted by one Of the Pacific coast mil
, ai0naires, who had built palace there and
| wanted all the contiguous land for garden.
He succeeded in getting all except the un-
dertaker's property, which projected into
the very heart OF his grounds, and which
its owner would not part with at what the
millionaire considered q fair price. The iat-
ter. therefore, erected high fence, said to
be the loftiest in America, enclosing the OBJ
stinate ubdertaker's property on three sides,
and depsiying it almost entirely OF sunshine.
The undertaken trained vines to grow up the
wooden walls, and stood 1t coolly Tor
year or two. Now, at last, his patience has
given out. a few weeks ago he had DIS
house removed bodily to another part OF tue
city, and, obstinate as ever, Is: about to put
upa very tower OF Babel. The style OF the
proposed building, it is said, will be plain
and substantial for the first five stories, but
the remainder OF the towering edifce, after
rising above the fence, will present q COM
miagling OF Renaissance, Gothic and Baby.
5lonia9 architecture. surmounted with asec-
ton Of Chinese pagodas. He declines to
say to what uses he proposes putting this
remarkable edifiee but st is, believed that
the first and paramount use viii be to tor
ment the hitherto triumphant millionaire.
