One of the most ancient bridges in the world is that over the Main at Frankfort, which Goethe called the only structure of importance in that city. It was erected in 1342, on the site of much earlier struc- ture. Its immediate predecessor, built in 1906, was almost entirely destroyed during the violent flood, and rebuilt by funds raised from the sale of church indulgences. The building of bridges was then consld- cred a religious work, because they enabled pilgrims the better to reach their destina- tions. It was frem the central arch of the bridge that criminals were drowned, and hence, too, the bodies of suicides were cast into the river. The last execution by drowning was in 1913. There is story of an Anglo Saxon tourist, who, lounging on the renowned bridge, asked resident the name of the most conspicuous statue on it. "Charlemagne, was the reply, pronoun- ced like Charly Main. "Ah perhaps the river, too, takes its name from him." was the astounding rejoinder.

We mean that we were on hand early and late, at our post doing duty, throughout the contest for the Delegacy, and though King S. woolsey has failed to receive the votes of the electors of Prescott and of this DOT. ton of Yavapai County, 1t was no fault of his, or of ours, but of those who basely betrayed him after having voluntarily promised him their support. That Col Woolssy was the best friend Yavapai Coun- ty had in the race, the journals of past legislatures and old files of the MINER abundantly attest, besides the facts arc in dellibly impressed upon the memory of the oldest inhabitants, and yet they have suf, fered themselves to be hoodwinked by the opposition into the probable defeat of the man who was best able and most willing tO do them honorable and effective ser vice in future as he has ever done in the past.

The Paris Exposition.

Gustave Dore is about to reveal to the
public another phrase of his singularly
original and creative talent. He is now
at work behind closed and guarded doors
on his contribution to the exhibition.
1t is colossal vase some sixteen feet in
hight, of flask shape, and covered with
figures in full relief representing 'The
Triumph of the Vine" Over the whole
surface of the vase swarms nymphs,
satyrs, children, intermingled with fruits
and flowers, and strange shapes of insect
and animal life. 1t is wild and grace
full fantasy, a mass of animated figures,
q throng of strange, visionary beings and
accessories. Yet in the whole there is
neither crowding nor confusion. Fair
nymphs sit, poised upon the slope of the
vase, chubby children climb and swing
amid the trailing garlands, and satyrs
skip up it's sides with all the agility that
their goat limbs can lend them. Around
the base cluster child forms at play with
colossal types of insect life. One plump
little fellow lies on his back, hugging to
his breast gigantic fly that is half as
large as he is himself. Two naked ur-
chins are contending with an equally
huge spider, and one little fellow, in
nowise daunted by the repulsive aspect
of his adversary is pushing the creature
away with his dimpled foot Another
holds field mouse by the tail, and uses
all his best efforts to keep his captive
from escaping. And--prettiest fancy of
all-one charming urchin lies asleep with
colossal butterfly lowering above him
and just in the act of kissing his baby
lips. 1t would take volume to describe
all the figures, the fruits, the flowers, the
varied imagery wherewith this gigantic
vase is literally covered. 1t took all the
creative force of Dores talent and all
his unexampled rapidity Of execution as
well, to bring this remarkable work to
such point of perfection in so short a
time. What will be its destinyl For
only a sovereign or an archmillionaire
could afford the possession Of such a
work, or own hall sufficiently large to
give it a fitting home. The present
model is in plaster; in bronze the work
will be worth some $4,000.

ReprOathsd for his Cruelty.
See the mighty host advancing,
Satan leading on.

A gentleman went some time ago to
the house of Mr.. Webb, large sheep
farmer in Cambridgeshire, England, and
while they were at dinner he heard the
"jug, jug" of ightingale close outside
the window.
On asking about it, the answer was,
"Poor thing, she is only taunting the
house dog" A nightingale taunting II
house dog. What could that meant
1t seems that the large dog, a species
of Newfoundland, had followed his mas
ter down the drive past laurel bush,
where the nightingale had built its nest.
He discovered and snapped at it, and,
just missing the old bird as she flew off;
devoured all the young ones l am glad
he was not my dog, for although it was
his nature, and Pilot is very faithful
animal, | do not think / could ever have
liked him again.
From that moment the bird never left
the dog. She followed him when he
walked, continually sitting either upon
his kennel top or ON bush hard by,
asking for its young ones. Actually, if
Pilot followed his master into the house,
the bird, usually so sly and timid in its
nature, would accompany him to the
very door step and wait till he came out
again gust like an avenging spirit.
The sympathy of the family at the
farm was greatly excited by the sorrow
of the poor mother who mourned for her
children-a bird Rachel, who "would
not be comforted, because they were
not"--and would have rejoiced most
heartily if they could have replaced the
nest and the little ones. Their surprise
was great that the poor bird could keep
up its mournful song so long long as
Pilot was in sight she continued up
braiding him night and day.
Sometimes Pilot was permitted to join
the family circle when they took their
work or tea on the lawn 1t was his
custom to ascend the front steps and
seat himself by the door of the hail. even
then the poor wailing bird would hop on
the steps after the dog, and the dog
never offered to molest her. For three
weeks or month the family always
knew where Pilot was by the wearisome
wall of the devoted bird. Once the sor-
rowful notes ceased to be heard, and Mr..
Webb's family thought she was gone,
but suddenly the musical knell was re-
sumed, and there was the mourner on a
high birch tree across. the lawn and
almost at the same moment Pilot was
seen passing under the tree.

An Arap Dinner.

While Miss Edwards, the author of
the admirable book of Nile travels, was
studying the ruins ut Luxor, she accepted
an invitation to dine with the British
Consul, genial and cultivated Arab,
who had travelled extensively in Europe
and huently spoke several languages. In
this entertainment the host conformed
rigidly to Arab customs, probably that
his guests might observe the peculiar
table etiquette maintained among the
better classes. When dinner was an
nouced, each guest in turn received n
dash of water upon the hands held over
a brass ever, and a towel, which was to
be retained during the meal. In the
center of the brilliantly lighted dining
room stood round brass table with a
raised rim, and for each person were
placed chair, huge block of bread,
wooden spoon, two tumblers and a
bouquet. 'To-night we are all Arabs" F"
said the consul, Mustapha Aga. "We
drink Nile water, and we eat with our
fingers"
The dinner was excellently cooked;
courses were quickly served; the dishes
were hot, and each was successively
placed alone in the middle of the table
For an account of the manner of eating,
we borrow Miss Edwards lively descrip-
tion:
Each dipped his own spoon in the
soup, dived into the stew, and pulled off
pieces Of lamb or fish with his fingers
Having no plates, we made plates Of our
bread. Meanwhile, Mustapha Aga, like
an attentive host, tore off an especially
choice morsel now and then, and handed
it to one or the other of his guests. To
eat gracefully with ones fingers is a fine
art; to carve with them skillfully is a
science. None of us, | think, will soon
forget the wonderful way in which our
host attacked and vanished the turkey
solid colossus, weighing twenty pounds,
and roasted to perfection. Half rising,
he turned back his cuff, poised his wrist,
and, diving his thumb and forefnger
deep into the breast, brought out a long,
stringy, smoking fragment, which he de-
posted on the plate of the writer. Thus
begun, the turkey went round the table
amid peals of laughter, and was punished
by each in turn, The pilaff which fol-
lowed is always the last dish served at
an Egyptian or Turkish dinner. After
this, our spoons were changed, and the
sweets were put upon the table. The
drinks throughout were plain water, rice
water and lemonade, Some native mu-
sicians played in the ante room during
dinner, and when we rose from the table
we washed our hands as before.
