AN EPISODE.
As this was essentially Leap
Year party, the ladies insisted on all
their prerogatives, and shortly before
the conclusion of the dance, two of
them iinprovi,ed little discussion
after the manner of men The dis
pute arose from an argument as to
who washed the dishes. 1t was car
ried on with dignilyby both parties,
and would probably have resulted
in broomsticks and tea for two, had
not friends interfered and Gained the
beligerents. Each of the disputants
drew ont with honor, and everything
went on pleasantly afterwards.
A fine supper was served by the
ladies at the Silver House, and it
was declared by general consent to
be in keeping with everything else

Long Bridges.

The bridge over the Tay, in Scotland
was 1852 feet in length or 50 feet more
than two miles. 1t consisted of 85 spans
OF varying extent, eleven of the longest
being 245 feet each, The bridge, as a
whole, was the largest in the world,
but there are many bridges in this coun-
try with longer spans. On this point
the st. Louis Globe Democrat presents
some interesting facts;
There are ten truss bridges across the
Mississippi above st. Louis, which are
not regarded as very wonderful struc-
lures, and yet seven of them have spans
as long as those of the Tay bridge. The
bridges at Winona, Lacrosse, Dubuque,
keokuk and Hannibal have spans of24O,
that at Rock Island $50, and that at
Louisiana Of256 feet. The span which
gave way at st. Charles was $50 feet in
length, yet the same bridge has two
spans 400 feet long. Over the same
river Is truss bridge, at Leavenworth,
with three spans of $40 feet, and another
at Glasgow with five of $40 feet. Across
the Ohio there is truss bridge at Steu-
benville with a span of $50 feet, one at
Parkersburg Of $50, one at Cincinnati
with span of 5l5 feet, the longest truss
yet built, and one at Louisville with a
span of 400 feet. The truss-bridQe over
the Kentucky river, on the Cincinnati
Southern railroad, has three spans $40
feet In length, resting on iron piers l75
feet high. The bridge oyer the Hudson
at Poughkeepsie has five spans of 500
feet, with piers 1876 feet above high
water.

The Cincinnati sOuthorn RaiIrOad

The completion Of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad is an event which is
not merely of local Importance. 1t
opens up section or country of vast
agricultural and mineral wealth in
Kentucky and Tennessee which has so
far been Isolated, and only accessible by
tedious and expensive methods of trans
portatiOn. This road which is built
across Cumberland mountain, was a
gigantic undertaking, before which,
for long time, capitalists were APP
palled whenever the enterprise was
presented in the way of an Investment.
After years of effort on the part of men
who sought to promote and secure
road through that section, it became
manifest that if it was built at all, Gin
cinnati would have to do it, and at last
that city undertook the job. It has
cost her $lS, 100000, and the last rail
was laid on the 9th ult. 1t is hardly
necessary to say that the building of
the road has imposed a heavy burden
upon Cincinnati. TO pay interest on
the bounds and provide a sinking fund,
has added 81 100000 year to her tax
es, raising them to almost per cent.
upon the actual valuation of property.
1t is believed, now that the road is COM
plete, that the income derived from it
will pay half of the interest the first
year. The termini of the road are
Cincinnati and Chattanooga.

GOVERNOR FOSTER has sent in the
name of Gen. Robinson, chairman OF
the Republican central committee, to
the Senate for confirmation as Commits
siOner of Railroads and Telegraphs.
Mr.. L. W. Bnckmaster, of this place,
was candidate for the place, and his
appointment was strongly urged upon
Governor Foster. His excellent quail
fcations and fitness for the office were
endorsed by the papers and prominent
Republicans along the Muskingum
Valley Ry., as we'll as other parts of the
State, and his selection for the place
would have been a qualification to a
very large number of the Republicans
Of the State.

There is a law against the practice Of
polygamy in Utah, that was passed in
1862, and is practically a dead letter,
there having been only two convictions
under the law since its passage. The
population Of Utah exceeds 10000 and
nine-tenths are MormOns, who practice
pOlygamy in defiance of the law. The
authorities are powerless In their at
tempt to enforce the law, and congress
will be compelled to enact more string
ent laws to prohibit plural marriages in
that Territory. An amendment to the
constitution prohibiting plural mar
riages in any State or Territory, and
the enactment Of laws authorizing con-
gress to enforce the provision by ap-
legislation, as suggested by
some Of our leading Legislators, would
probably meet the case and be the be-
ginning of the abolition of polygamy
in this country.

A recent invention, machine for
mining coal, and one that may possibly
revolutionize the business of mining,
is now in operation in the mines of the
Central Mining Company, at Straits
vile. A New Straitsville correspond
ent Of che american Journal of Industyy
In an article descriptive of this inven-
ton, says:
"The company have been experi-
menting with what is known as the
Lechner patent cOal-cutting machine
for nearly three years, but it is only
within a few months past that it has
been so improved and perfected as to
prove thoroughly efficient. They now
have four machines in successful Ope-
ration. Already the machine is Great

nies and firms. w. p. Rend, of Chi
cago, is opening up new mines at Sun
day Creek, and win use four machines.
The Baird Coal Company, of Sunday
Creek, have four in successful opera
tiOn. Il. Longstreth, of Nelsonyille,
has lately put in an air compressor suf-
ficiently powerful to drive ten ma
chimes, and will soon employ quite a
number of them in his mines. we are
llso Informed that Henry B. HAYS, of
Pittsburg, has one or more of them in
use. These machines are manufactured

sional shoes has begun. Senator How

them. Uncle Peter Hitchcock is sus-
pected Of desire to put them on, s.
A. Northway, a Jefferson county law
yer, looks lOngingly upon them, Presi-
dent Hinsdale, of Hiram College, thinks
perhaps they would fit him. Senator
Perkins, of Warren, would like to
stand in them, and there are several
others who are confident of their ability
to fill them, if the nominating conyen-
tion could be induced to give them a
trial. We have an impression that it
will take large-sized man to fill Gar
fields shoes CinciRRdti Gazette.

The appointment of Rev. A. G. Buy
ers as census supervisor of this district,
by the President, is regarded with fa-
yor. He is thoroughly competent for
the duties, and will perform them sat
isfactorily. The report that Mr.. Frank
Merrick, Of this city, had been ap-
pointed, came here through the Cinoin-
natl papers, and a great deal of hastv
indignation was expressed by Republic
cans against the President for the nOmi-
nation. Now that the report has proved
false, they are willing to join hands
over the bloody ohasm, and welcome
President Hayes again to their bosoms,

respectfully requested TO call at their earliest
convenience and pay their accounts. We have
number on cur books who are indebted in va

this notice will be suflcient to secure an early
response from all knowing themselves indebted
on account.
In reducing the price Of the HERALD from 81

Sng the size OF tho paper, we are compelled to

fhere is necessarily a large per cent. of loss in
conducting a newspaper on the credit plan, and
at the low price we are now furnishing the
HERALD, we can not afford to make any bad sub
scription accounts. The only safe plan is to
require payment in all cases in advance. This
plan is mutually beneficial to publishers and

nish better paper for less money than they
could otherwise do.

EDIsoN's electric lamp has not proved
an entire success. The carbon horse.
shoe does not do what was expected OF
it. In good many cases, after lamps
had been burning a short time, they
went out, owing to the breaking of the
little strip Of paper connecting the two
wires in the lamp, called the carbon
horseshoe. The New York Post says
edison is now at work trying to find
out the weak point which causes the
trouble. He thinks that the heat emit
ted by light cracks the glass at the place
where the plantlnum wire enters the
lamp, and that air get In. No change
can be found In any of those parts which
have been burning for some weeks. The
edges are just the same under a micro
scope as before the carbons were put
into the lamp. At present there are
fifty lamps burning, one Of which has
been in use for nearly forty days"

portion of the State out of their elective
franchise-it meandered till the hot
weather spoiled all their "sOur mash, :"
and O'Connered themselves back to the
sylvan shade of fly stretched from
the rear Of a beer salOon) sought to
make for itself "name in history"
and did it (infamOusly, mean,) by re-
peallng laws in some instances that had
grown venerable by the lapse of a
quarter of century of time upon our
statutes. In one instance a law in re-
latiOn to posting directions at the inter-
sections Of roads, for the proper guild
ance of strangers while travelling
through our State, was repealed, which
had served the State well for twenty
five years, and law substituted that
utterly destroyed the reciprocal intent
of the posting system.

you. Retain it by unwinding all the
ropes of oppression that have been
wound around the people by the late

most honOrably conspicuous men of the
State. He is famed in arms and litera-

he studied at BowdOin College, of which
Institution he was one of the professors
when the war broke out. He at once
gave his services to his country, and re-
ceived several wounds in the service.
He was repeatedly promoted and finally
reached the well deserved prominence
Of Major Generalship. He was after

In Chief Of the State Militia, though he
was then, as now, an ardent Republican,
