The East River Bridge.

The last wire Of the last cable OF the
East River Bridge was run over Saturday
afternoon, oct. 9TH, and the completion Of
this part Of the work was greeted With
the tlnging out Of flags and loud cheers
by the woTkmen on the anchorages. Six
million eight hundred thousand pounds Of
wire now hang between the towers and
the anchOra5es, and about tycntv-tour
thousand wires are bound up in the
seventy strands that form the great
cables. The estimate Of Engineer IOeb-
ling was that it would take no lesS than
two and half or three years to make the
main cables, but the Workmen have been
50 expert that the whole process Of cable
making has not lasted two years. The
cables are made about five or SIX feet
above the position they will occupy after
all the settling has taken place.
To protect the cables they must be con
tinuously wrapped with charcoal iron wire,
bound about them with the precision of
thread about a spool, and then this eXte-
rior must be saturated with oil, thick
enough to produce, on drying. vlscid
gum, and then painted with d thick coat
of white lead, This preparation will be
moisture proof. This week the last two
strands will be lowered into position, and
then the twelve strands Of each cable, now
swinging loose, will be brought about the
seven cables, already bound together as
a core, and put into wooden squeezers to
be held for wrapping.
The interesting work of wrapping the
cables has been begun. The cables are
held in position by wooden clamps, and
wrapped from the towers toward the cen
tire of the river and towards the anchor
ages. Sixteen wrapping machines are
to be employed. The wrapping machine
is reel arranged to carry coil of wire,
and it has handles like a pilots wheel.
An iron cylinder, made in halves so as to
fit close about the cable, is worked around
by a handle. The wire is first fastened
to the cable, and this machine is moved
along, slowly winding the wire about the
cable as tight and precise as though it
were spool of cotton thread The wrap
ping will take three months.

A woman went into a BARRIERS shop on
street, some weeks ago, and wanted to
know how much it would cost to dye a
mans hair and mustache The price was
named, and she then asked the barber tc
get his dye and follow her.
Why can't the man come here
asked the barber
"He's dead replied the woman, "and
the last thing he said when he was pass
ing away was Sally, fix me up pretty
for the funeral" His hair curled beauti-
fully but it vas little gray. 1t won't
look well to see woman crying around
a coffin with an old gray bearded man il
it. SO want him fixed up little. He
was always a beauty when he had bis
hair dyed. know I'd want mine fixed
that way if | was gray and dead"
The barber dyed the dead mans hail
in the highest style Of the art, and the
widow remarked, when all was over, that
che was the loveliest corpse ever buried
on the COmstOck."

Flood, the California millionaire, is
building what will, it is said, be the fin
est private residence in America The
grounds include 800 acres on San Fran
cisco bay, comprising natural park
ready for Improvement to any desired ex
tent. The house is 100 by 200 feet in
area, and resembles a French chateau of
the old style. Nerandas surround it, and
the roof is broken with many gables and
two towers l40 feet high. The entire eX-
terror is very ornate. Among the apart
ments are several parlors, music rooms,
library and wine room, the latter being of
uncommon size. The dining room is 100
feet long, so that great dinners may be
given in it; most of it can be shut off,
leaving a room of comparatively small
size for ordinary use. Five years will be
consumed in completing the house and
its surroundings. Mr.. Flood also con
templates a city residence of correspond
ing magnifcence.
