A spectator of the recent maneuvers of
the German army writes to the London
Times of General Skobeleff's enthusiasm:
General Skobeleff and his colleagues
were rarely to be seen in the brilliant
cluster of native military magnates and
foreign officers following the Emperor
about, prcferring to lag behind or swerve
aside for the purpose of more effective
observation and discussion; and to-day
overheard a Prussian officer admiringly
comment on the earnest way in which
the hero of Plevna, not content with his
brilliant proficiency in the art of war,
was seemingly striving to profit by the
present maneuvers and augment his
knowledge of tactics Wherever / rode
over the field | was sure to catch a
glimpse of the dark-green uniform and
feather-tufted helmet Of General Skobe-
left, At one time he would closely watch
how certain infantry regiment deployed
into line, or threw out skirmishers; at
another suddenly leap ditch and scam
per away up to the top of slope to note
the effect of the enemy's artillery fire on
the right; again, he wonld stop to pene-
trate the intentions of yonder mysterious
masses of cavalry on the left, ever and
anon whipping out bulky notebook
and caressing his restless gray charger
into the steadiness of writing-desk."

Both of the towers of the New York
and Brooklyn bridge rest on sunken cais-
sons, which were substituted for the solid
foundation which the engineers were un-
able to obtain. 1t was expected that
when the weight of the structure came
upon the towers they would sink some.
awe are surprised" said Col. Paine, of
the engineer corps, on Saturday, chat
the towers have sunk so little. The New
York tower rests upon twenty-five feet
of timber, and is seventy-eght feet under
water. In making the timber founda-
ton there was a gain of two and half
inches, by reason of the pieces not coming
close together. This we allowed to stand,
expecting that the tower when finished
would sink more than that; but now that
the tower is all completed, and over four
fifths Of all the weight that it is expected
to bear is upon it, we find that it has
sunk about an inch and a half, or but
little more than half of the unintentional
increase in its height. That is not near
50 much as we expected. At certain
altitude we had iron spikes driven into
,ine tower at every angle to It on all
sides, and we took the level from another
spike, driven as a bench mark into the
sill of window in South street. By
taking the difference in the level of those
spikes to-day we get the distance the
tower has sunk. Another peculiar thing
is that it has sunk evenly all around. The
Brooklyn tower has not sunk so much
not over an inch, think"

Transcript: Our red brethren out at the

yesterday. For two or three days past
deputations of their fellow-countrymen
have been arriving from every part of the
adjacent county. Some of the visitors
came full hundred miles to take hand
in the sport. The initiatory ceremonies
which consisted principally of feasting
and dancing, took place night before last,
at which time the camp was blaze of
light and babel of hideous sounds. Miss
Flap-Jack-from-the-Moon was the belle
of the ball 1t was observed that young
"Hop-up- and-Hit-His-F Feet -Four-Times "
was particularly sweet on the bewitching
maiden. He treated her to grasshopper
pudding and pine coffee no less than four
mes during the evening and squeezed
her once so hard that she threw frying
pan at his head. They say it will surely
make match.

A young ladynewspaper correspondent
insisted on interviewing Mr.. Tilden. The
good old man was intensely agreeable
in fact, rather too much SO. He wouldn't
say anything of moment, though he
talked fast enough; and he would insist
on holding the young lady's hand from
the beginning to the close of the inter-
view. Of course under such circum-
stances there was no such thing as taking
notes, and it is intimated that the hand
was held for that very reason. But we
don't know. The young lady was pretty,
and it is not known that Uncle Sammy
ever held the hand of a newspaper cor
respondent of the other sex. In point of
fact, it may be necessary to suggest that
reform is necessary.

ISTHMUS CANAL ROUTES.
The American Society of CIVIL Engi
neers Discussing Them.
New York World

A special meeting of the American
Society of Civil Engineers was held
last evening at the rooms of the society,
East Twentieth street, to discuss the var
ious plans for an inter oceaniccanal cross
the Isthmus of Panama. Mr.. I. G. Clark
presided, ane Mr.. M. F. Kelly was re-
quested to relate the results of his explo-
rations of the isthmus during the past
twenty years. Mr. Kelly said that he
first began to devote his time to study
of the canal in 1851, and had sent out
engineers at his own cost. He favored
the Atrato Truando route and had al
ways insisted upoa canal without locks
or dams, having been assured by ship
owners, insurance men and ship captains
that locks aud dams would be great OBJ
lection. The cost of the canal prop csed
by him world be about $3.50, ,000,0 1t
would be saltwater canal % feet deep,
120 feet wide at the bottom and l25 feet
wide at the surface. The tunnel through
the mountain would be so feet wide, al
lowing the passage of only one ship at a
time or 200 ships in twenty-four hours.
Mr.. S. F. Shelbourne said he did not be-
lieve in the Tehuantepac route advocated
by Mr.. NJ. De Garay, but agreed with
Mr.. Kelly that sea-level canal was the
most practicable. AS to the tunnel
through the mountain, he had treated it
more heroically than Mr.. Kelly had done.
He showed drawing of the proposed
tunnel, which in vertical section was
shaped like a Mimic bullet, 100 feet wide
at the bottom and 16S feet high from
the bottom to the crown of the arch, or
large enough to pass the largest vessels
now afoat. He thought that such tun-
mel would be perfectly safe, but if nee
essary it could be supported by iron
abutments on the in ide. The whole
amount of excavation for this tunnel by
the San Bias route would be little more
than 100000 cubic yards, and the cost
of the canal at the highest estimate, in
cluding the tunnel and the open cut
work, $60,000,000.
General Wright, of Philadelphia, said
that he had studied carefully the various
routes proposed for canal across the 18TH
mus and that he had come to the con-
c.u,ion that the Panama route was by all
means most practicable.
The ship railway as proposed by Cap
tain Eads was then discussed. Mr.. Kelly
said that there would be no difficulty
about building such a railway. 1t would
be mere = matter of dollars and cents
but 1t might be difficult to select route
with the proper grades.
Mr.. Clark agreed with Mr.. Kelly that
ship railway was perfectly feasible anc
thought the suggestion of Admiral Am
men that the whole question be referred
to a convention of American engineer
was a good one.
A resolution appointing committee
of three engineers to study the various
routes will probably be offered at the
next regular meeting of the society.
